PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

June 4, 2026

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I being provided with these materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was mailed, and this Proxy Statement, annual report, and the form of proxy were first sent or made available to stockholders on or about April 23, 2026. We have provided these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Definitive Healthcare Corp. (“we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 4, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares or to vote your shares in advance by proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail.

What am I voting on?

There are four proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal No. 1: To elect the three Class II directors of Definitive Healthcare Corp. named in this Proxy Statement, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

•

Proposal No. 2: To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

•

Proposal No. 3: To approve an amendment to the Definitive Healthcare Corp. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we will have authority to grant under the 2021 Plan by 15,000,000 from 30,972,789 to 45,972,789.

•

Proposal No. 4: To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

Who is entitled to vote?

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. As of that date, there were 105,456,979 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 38,225,333 shares of our Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Class B Common Stock”) outstanding. Holders of our Class A Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held as of the Record Date, and holders of our Class B Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the Record Date, in each case including shares:

•

Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”); and

•

Held for you in an account with a broker, bank, or other nominee (shares held in “street name”). Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank, or nominee how to vote their shares.

Our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters described in this Proxy Statement for which stockholder votes are being solicited.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions, “withhold” votes, and shares represented by “broker non-votes” that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are counted for purposes of determining a quorum.

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held through a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at its discretion. Proposal Nos. 1, 3, and 4 are considered non-routine matters, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposal. Proposal No. 2 is considered a routine matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

For Proposal No. 1, under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”), directors are elected by the plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. There is no cumulative voting. Director nominees who receive the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected. In an uncontested election where the number of nominees equals the number of director seats up for election, all the nominees will be elected as long as there is a quorum and they receive at least one vote. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we maintain a policy that requires a director in an uncontested election who does not receive a majority of the votes cast to tender his or her resignation from the Board and all committees thereof. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director nominee shall have failed to receive the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast if the number of “withhold” votes in respect of such director nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes “for” such director nominee’s election (excluding broker non-votes). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will assess the appropriateness of the nominee continuing to serve as a director and will recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to the resignation. The Board will act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days from the publication of the election results.

For Proposal No. 2, under our Bylaws, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. It is important to note that Proposal No. 2 is advisory and therefore not binding on the Board. While the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, if our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, we will consider it notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider, in their discretion, the selection of a different firm. In addition, even if the selection is ratified, the Board and the Audit Committee may, in their discretion, direct the appointment of a different firm if at any time during the year they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

For Proposal No. 3, under our Bylaws, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Proposal No. 3 is not advisory; stockholder approval is binding and is required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules because Proposal No. 3 relates to a material amendment to our equity compensation plan.

For Proposal No. 4, under our Bylaws, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. It is important to note that Proposal No. 4 is advisory and therefore not binding on the Board. Nevertheless, the Board and the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee (the “HCM & Compensation Committee”) value the opinions of stockholders in this matter and, to the extent there is any significant vote in opposition to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, even if less than a majority, the Board will consider the stockholders’ concerns and evaluate any appropriate next steps.

How are votes counted?

With respect to the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to each nominee. Votes that are “withheld” will not count as a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director because directors are elected by plurality voting; however, votes that are “withheld” may trigger the director resignation policy set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal No. 1 and there will not be any abstentions on this proposal.

With respect to the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal No. 2. Because brokers have the discretionary authority to vote on Proposal No. 2, we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

With respect to approval of an increase in shares in the 2021 Stock Plan (Proposal No. 3), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal No. 3. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal No. 3.

With respect to advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal No. 4), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal No. 4. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal No. 4.

If you sign and submit your proxy card without voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Proposals.

We are not aware of any matters to be voted on by stockholders at the Annual Meeting other than those referenced above. If any matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your executed proxy gives your proxy holder discretionary authority to vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment with respect to the matter.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote your shares:

•

“FOR” each of the Class II director nominees set forth in this Proxy Statement;

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;

•

“FOR” the Share Increase Proposal for the 2021 Plan; and

•

“FOR” the advisory vote on the executive compensation of our named executive officers.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Mediant, a BetaNXT business (“Mediant”) or its designee will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of election.

How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by authorizing a proxy to vote on your behalf at the Annual Meeting. Specifically, you may authorize a proxy:


By Internet		If you received the Notice of Internet Availability (“Notice”) or a printed copy of the proxy materials, follow the instructions in the Notice or on the proxy card.
By Telephone		If you received the Notice or a printed copy of the proxy materials, follow the instructions on the Notice or on the proxy card.
By Mail		If you received a printed copy of the proxy materials, complete, sign, date, and mail your proxy card in the enclosed, postage-prepaid envelope.
In Person		You may also vote in person by attending the meeting and submitting your proxy card. Please see the General Information section of this Proxy Statement for additional information on how to attend in person.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may submit voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the Internet, by telephone, or by mail. Please refer to information from your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions.

How do I attend and vote my shares at the Annual Meeting?

This year’s Annual Meeting will be held at 492 Old Connecticut Path, Suite 401, Framingham, MA 01701. The instructions for how to attend the Annual Meeting and vote, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at www.proxydocs.com/DH.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card on or about the same time?

It generally means you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please sign and return each proxy card or, if you vote by Internet or telephone, vote once for each proxy card you receive.

May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Yes. Whether you have voted by Internet, telephone, or mail, if you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy by:

•

sending a written statement to that effect to our Secretary, provided such statement is received no later than June 4, 2026;

•

voting by Internet or telephone at a later time than your previous vote and before the closing of those voting facilities at the Annual Meeting on June 4, 2026;

•

submitting a properly signed proxy card, which has a later date than your previous vote, and that is received no later than June 4, 2026; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

If you hold shares in street name, please refer to information from your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to revoke or submit new voting instructions.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers, or employees of the Company (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission, and facsimile transmission. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

The information provided in the “question and answer” format above is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this Proxy Statement. You should read this entire Proxy Statement carefully. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and references to our website address in this Proxy Statement are inactive textual references only.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTORS

Our Charter provides for a classified Board of Directors divided into three classes. Chris Egan, Samuel A. Hamood, and Sastry Chilukuri constitute a class with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting (the “Class II Directors”); Scott Stephenson and Kathleen A. Winters with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 (the “Class III Directors”) and Kevin Coop, Jason Krantz and Lauren Young constitute a class with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2028 (the “Class I Directors”). Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has considered and nominated the following slate of nominees to serve as Class II Directors for a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2029: Chris Egan, Samuel A. Hamood, and Sastry Chilukuri. Action will be taken at the Annual Meeting for the election of these three Class II Director nominees.

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the form of proxy card (the “proxyholders”) included with this Proxy Statement intend to vote the proxies held by them “FOR” the election of the director nominees. All of the nominees have indicated that they will be willing and able to serve as directors. Each person nominated for election has agreed to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable or, if elected, will decline to serve. In the event that any of the nominees should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, proxies will be voted for a substitute as designated by the Board, or alternatively, the Board may leave a vacancy on the Board or reduce the size of the Board.

Nominating Agreements

On September 17, 2021, in connection with the initial public offering of our Class A Common Stock completed September 17, 2021 (our “IPO”), we entered into nominating agreements with each of an affiliate of Advent, Jason Krantz, and Spectrum Equity, which provide that, subject to certain stock ownership thresholds, the Company will include two designees of Advent, one designee of Jason Krantz, and one designee of Spectrum Equity, respectively, in the slate of director nominees recommended to the Company’s stockholders for election, and the Company will fill any vacancy of any such designated director previously nominated by Advent, Jason Krantz, and Spectrum Equity, respectively, with a new director designated by Advent, Jason Krantz, and Spectrum Equity, respectively. The nominating agreement with Spectrum Equity has been terminated. Chris Egan and Lauren Young are the designees of Advent, and Jason Krantz is the designee of Jason Krantz.

Nominees for Election to the Board of Directors in 2026

The following information describes the offices held, other business directorships, and the term of service of each director nominee, as well as the experiences, qualifications, attributes, or skills that caused the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board to determine that the director nominee should serve as a director. Beneficial ownership of equity securities of the director nominees is shown under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below. Each of the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting was recommended for election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All three of the nominees are current directors and, if elected, will be continuing their roles on the Board.
