(the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) entered into an agreement to become a publicly traded company through a business combination with TPG Pace Solutions Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TPG Pace”). On December 6, 2021 (the “Closing”), we consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain business combination agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TPG Pace, Vacasa Holdings LLC (“Vacasa Holdings” or “OpCo”), Turnkey Vacations, Inc. (“TK Newco”), certain other Vacasa Holdings equity holders (together with TK Newco, the “Blockers”), us, and certain other parties pursuant to which, among other things, TPG Pace merged with and into us, following which the separate corporate existence of TPG Pace ceased and we became the surviving corporation.

ITEM 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, three Class I Directors are to be elected to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2025 and until each such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors of Vacasa, Inc. (the “Board”) has nominated Barbara Messing, Karl Peterson and Matthew Roberts, for election as Class I Directors at the Annual Meeting. See “Corporate Governance — Our Board of Directors” for a discussion regarding designation rights of certain of our stockholders set forth in the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below).

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the below Class I Director nominees. In the biographies below, references to Vacasa Holdings should be deemed to refer to its predecessor Vacasa LLC for periods prior to May 2020. All ages are presented as of April 11, 2022.

Nominees For Class I Directors (terms to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting)

We believe Ms. Messing is well qualified to serve as a member of our Board for her extensive experience in both management and director positions of public companies and in the travel and hospitality sector.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) rules (the “Nasdaq rules”), a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgement in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In addition, the director must not be precluded from qualifying as independent under the per se bars set forth by the Nasdaq rules.

Our Board has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that none of Joerg Adams, Ryan Bone, Chad Cohen, Benjamin Levin, Barbara Messing, Jeffrey Parks, Karl Peterson and Chris Terrill, representing eight of our ten directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors qualifies as “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including that Joerg Adams, Ryan Bone, Benjamin Levin, Jeffrey Parks and Karl Peterson are affiliated with one of our significant stockholders. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. We currently have an independent Chairman of the Board and a majority of our Board is comprised of independent directors. Our Board believes that separation of the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board from management, creates an environment that encourages objective oversight of management’s performance and enhances the effectiveness of the Board as a whole. For these reasons, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

However, our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. If, in the future, the Chairman of the Board is a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as independent, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a Lead Independent Director may be elected from among the independent directors. The Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities would include, but would not be limited to, presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors, approving the Board’s meeting schedules and agendas, and acting as liaison between the independent directors of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Board of Directors

We currently have ten directors on our Board. As set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election, provided that the term of each director will continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor and is subject to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we entered into the Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with (i) certain entities affiliated with (a) Silver Lake (the “Silver Lake Stockholder”), (b) Riverwood Capital (the “Riverwood Stockholder”), (c) Level Equity Management (the “Level Equity Stockholder”), (ii) TPG Pace Solutions Sponsor, Series LLC (“the TPG Stockholder”) and (iii) Eric Breon (the “EB Stockholder”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Board appointed at the Closing was to be comprised of ten members, divided into three classes, comprised of (A) two directors designated by the Silver Lake Stockholder; (B) one director designated by the Riverwood Stockholder; (C) one director designated by the Level Equity Stockholder; (D) one director designated by the TPG Stockholder; (E) one director designated by the EB Stockholder; (F) one director, Matthew Roberts, the chief executive officer of Vacasa Holdings, and (G) three directors, each of whom qualify as an independent director for board service under applicable stock exchange rules and as an independent director as such term is defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and one of whom meets additional diversity standards (such directors identified in clause (G), the “Independent Directors”). The directors initially designated for appointment to the Board (A) by the Silver Lake Stockholders is Joerg Adams, designated as a Class II Director, and Ryan Bone, designated as a Class III Director, (B) by the Riverwood Stockholders is Jeffrey Parks, designated as a Class II Director, (C) by the Level Equity Stockholders is Benjamin Levin, designated as a Class III Director, (D) by the TPG Stockholders is Karl Peterson, designated as a Class I Director, (E) by the EB Stockholder is Eric Breon, designated as a Class II Director and (F) Matt Roberts, designated as a Class I Director. The Independent Directors initially designated for appointment to the Board were (i) Chad Cohen, designated as a Class III Director, (ii) Chris Terrill, designated as a Class II Director, and (iii) Barbara Messing, the diversity candidate, designated as a Class I Director.

The Silver Lake Stockholder will continue to have the right to designate two directors as long as it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 40% of the economic shares of Vacasa, Inc., and certain limited liability company interests in Vacasa Holdings (collectively, the “Shares”) owned by the Silver Lake Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (the “Initial Silver Lake Ownership”). The Silver Lake Stockholder’s designation rights will be reduced to one director when the Silver Lake Stockholder and its affiliates beneficially own between 20% and 40% of the Initial Silver Lake Ownership.

The Riverwood Stockholder will continue to have the right to designate one director as long as it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the Riverwood Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The Level Equity Stockholder will continue to have the right to designate one director as long as it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the Level Equity Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The TPG Stockholder shall only need its designation right until the first annual meeting of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected. The EB Stockholder will continue to have the right to designate one director as long as (i) it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the EB Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, and (ii) none of such beneficially owned shares are foreclosed upon by any lender. The Stockholders Agreement automatically terminates 18 months after the Closing.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, for so long as several of our investors hold a specified amount of our common stock, vacancies and newly created

TABLE OF CONTENTS

directorship may be filled (and directors removed with or without cause) only by majority stockholder vote and, after such time, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by the directors then in office and director may be removed only for cause by majority stockholder vote.

Controlled Company Exemption

The parties to the Stockholders Agreement beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the combined voting power of our Common Stock entitled to vote in the election of our directors. As a result, we qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including, but not limited to, requirements that:

•

a majority of our Board consist of directors who qualify as “independent” as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules;

•

that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and, if we have such a committee, that it is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities;

•

that we have a compensation committee and, if we have such a committee, that it is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

•

that its board of directors conduct an annual performance evaluation of its compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee.

We may elect to utilize one or more of these exemptions for so long as we remain a “controlled company.” Notwithstanding the availability of these exemptions, as discussed above, our Board currently consists of a majority of directors who qualify as “independent” under Nasdaq listing rules. Additionally, as described below, we maintain both a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that consist entirely of independent directors.

We are not required to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s director independence requirements and may choose to change our Board or committee composition or other arrangements in the future to manage our corporate governance in accordance with the controlled company exemption. If we cease to be a controlled company, we will be required to comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements applicable to listed companies, subject to a permitted “phase-in” period.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. Our Board is responsible for general oversight of risks and regular review of information regarding such risks, including credit risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters and financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for overseeing the management of financial risks, cybersecurity and data protection risks and other material risks applicable to the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board and potential conflicts of interest. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, our entire Board is expected to be regularly informed through discussions with committee members and regular reports from management about such risks, as well as the actions taken by management to adequately address those risks. Our Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not negatively affected our Board’s leadership structure.

Attendance by Members of the Board of Directors at Meetings

Due to the timing of the Closing of the Business Combination on December 6, 2021, there were two meetings of the Board of Directors, one meeting of the Audit Committee, one meeting of the Compensation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Committee and no meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, each incumbent director, other than Chris Terrill, attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served on the Board of Directors or such committee. Mr. Terrill was unable to attend one meeting of the Board of Directors that had been scheduled on short notice.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, it is expected that all directors will attend the Annual Meeting absent compelling circumstances. We became a public company on December 7, 2021. Accordingly, we did not have an annual meeting of stockholders in 2021.

Executive Sessions

The independent directors meet at least twice a year in executive session. Such meetings are presided over by the Chairperson of the Board or, in the event the Chairperson is unavailable, by a director selected by a majority of the independent directors present.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts our business through meetings of the Board and standing committees. We have a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which operate under a written charter and which are available on our website at www.investors.vacasa.com.

In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the Board when the Board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Current copies of our committee charters are posted on our website, investors.vacasa.com, as required by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Nasdaq rules. The information on or available through any of such website is not deemed incorporated in this proxy statement and does not form part of this proxy statement.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and assists our Board in its oversight of (i) the integrity of financial statements, (ii) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our risk management program, (iv) the performance of our independent auditor and (v) the design and implementation of our internal audit function and internal controls. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

appointing, compensating, retaining and overseeing the work of our independent auditor and any other registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services;

•

discussing with our independent auditor any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Audit Committee consists of Chad Cohen, Ryan Bone and Chris Terrill, with Chad Cohen serving as the chairperson of the Audit Committee. Our Board has determined that each of the foregoing individuals qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act applicable to serving on an audit committee. Our Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules and that each of Chad Cohen, Ryan Bone and Chris Terrill qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee oversees our policies, plans and benefits programs. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our chief executive officer, evaluating the chief executive officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and setting the chief executive officer’s compensation;

•

reviewing and setting or making recommendations to our Board regarding the compensation of our other executive officers;

•

reviewing and making recommendations to our Board regarding director compensation;

•

reviewing and approving or making recommendations to our Board regarding incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements;

•

overseeing Company programs and policies regarding talent management (including retention, development, and training) and diversity and inclusion; and

Our Compensation Committee consists of Benjamin Levin, Joerg Adams, Barbara Messing and Chad Cohen, with Benjamin Levin serving as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Our Board has determined that each of the foregoing individuals qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq listing rules for purposes of serving on the compensation committee and as a “non-employee director” as defined in Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

Compensation Consultants

In connection with its determinations regarding executive compensation, our Compensation Committee generally receives information and recommendations from our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as well as the compensation consultant engaged by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee may delegate authority to executive officers to administer non-executive compensation and benefits plans.

Our Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any outside advisors, such as compensation consultants and legal counsel. In May 2021, the compensation committee of Vacasa Holdings board of managers engaged Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”) as its compensation consultant to assist in determining appropriate executive compensation and reviewing and analyzing proposed compensation programs for executive officers. The Company’s Compensation Committee has continued the relationship with Compensia. Compensia conducts market research and analysis on our various executive positions, assists our Compensation Committee in developing appropriate incentive plans for our executives, provides our Compensation Committee with advice and ongoing recommendations regarding material executive compensation decisions, and reviews compensation proposals of management. Compensia reports directly to our Compensation Committee and does not provide any non-compensation-related services to us. After review and consultation with Compensia, the Compensation Committee determined that Compensia is independent and there is no conflict of interest resulting from retaining Compensia pursuant to applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and assists our Board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board;

•

recommending to our Board the nominees for election to our Board at annual meetings of our stockholders;

•

overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management;

•

overseeing Company policies, programs and strategies related to environmental, sustainability and social matters; and

•

developing and recommending to our Board a set of corporate governance guidelines.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Joerg Adams, Benjamin Levin, Jeffrey Parks and Karl Peterson, with Joerg Adams serving as the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board has determined that each of the foregoing individuals qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq listing rules.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. We intend to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

You can access our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics at www.investors.vacasa.com, or by writing to Vacasa, Inc., Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209.

Director Candidates

Other than as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. See “Corporate Governance — Our Board of Directors” for a discussion regarding designation rights of certain of our stockholders set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Barbara Messing was initially recommended to serve on our Board by members of management and the Board. Karl Peterson was initially recommended to serve on our Board by TPG, in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement.

Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

Other than as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including but not limited to: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; strong finance experience; relevant social policy

TABLE OF CONTENTS

concerns; experience relevant to the Company’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; gender identification or identification as an underrepresented minority or as LGBTQ+, practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2021, the members of our Compensation Committee were Joerg Adams, Chad Cohen, Benjamin Levin, and Barbara Messing, none of whom was during fiscal year 2021 an officer or employee of the Company or was formerly an officer of the Company. Related person transactions pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving those who served on the compensation committee during 2021 are described under “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

During 2021, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that had one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Anti-Hedging Policy

We maintain an Insider Trading Compliance Policy that prohibits our directors, executive officers and other employees from purchasing on margin with respect to Company securities. In addition, our policies prohibit directors, executive officers and other employees from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge (or offset), or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of Company equity securities.

Communications with the Board

Any stockholder or any other interested party who desires to communicate with our Board of Directors, our non-management directors or any specified individual director may do so by directing such correspondence to Vacasa, Inc., Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209 who will forward the communication to the appropriate person or persons.

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt following the filing of this annual report may differ materially from the currently planned programs summarized in this discussion. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

2021 Salaries

Our named executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities. The base salaries of our named executive officers are reviewed from time to time and adjusted when our Compensation Committee determines an adjustment is appropriate.

In fiscal year 2021, Mr. Roberts’s annual base salary was $500,000, Ms. Cohen’s annual base salary was $400,000, and Mr. Smith’s annual base salary was $500,000. No changes were made to the annual base salaries of our named executive officers during 2021.

2021 Bonuses

We maintain an annual bonus plan that is designed to motivate and reward our executives, including our named executive officers, for achievements relative to our goals and expectations for each fiscal year. Each named executive officer has a target bonus opportunity, defined as a percentage of his or her annual base salary. Following the end of each year, our Compensation Committee determines the bonuses for our executives, including our named executive officers, based on company performance against pre-established objectives and retains discretion to allow for individual adjustments based on such factors as it deems appropriate.

The bonus targets for our named executive officers for 2021, expressed as a percentage of their respective base salaries, were 100% for Mr. Roberts, 50% for Ms. Cohen and 50% for Mr. Smith.

Our corporate performance objectives for 2021 included achievement of certain EBITDA and revenue goals. In February 2022, the Compensation Committee of our Board assessed achievement against those previously established objectives and determined our corporate goals for the year were achieved at 149.5%. Consistent with their corporate achievement assessment, the Compensation Committee awarded bonuses to our named executive officers in the amounts set forth above in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

In connection with commencing employment with us during 2021, we granted Ms. Cohen a one-time sign on bonus in the amount of $50,000, payable in a lump sum.

2021 Equity Grants

Before the Business Combination, we granted our executives “employee equity units” through a management holding company called Vacasa Employee Holdings LLC, and the units were intended to constitute “profits interests” within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by IRS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revenue Procedure 2001-43. Employee equity units have no intrinsic value on the date of grant, and have actual value to the executive only to the extent the equity value of the company appreciates following the grant date. Before the consummation of the Business Combination, Vacasa Holdings effectuated the Vacasa Holdings Recapitalization, pursuant to which all outstanding employee equity units were recapitalized into common units. The Vacasa Employee Holdings LLC common units held by our executives remain subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the corresponding employee equity units before the recapitalization. The vesting schedule for these units is included in the applicable footnote to the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table, below.

In March 2021, we granted 4,546,225 employee equity units to Ms. Cohen in connection with her commencement of employment as our Chief Financial Officer. The employee equity units vest, and the risk of forfeiture thereon lapses, as to 25% of the units on the first anniversary of March 1, 2021, and as to 1/48th of the total original amount of the units in equal installments each month thereafter, subject to her continued employment. In connection with the Business Combination, Ms. Cohen’s employee equity units converted into 1,236,393 common units of Vacasa Employee Holdings LLC, which remain subject to the same vesting and other terms of her original award of employee equity units.

Additionally, in April 2021 we granted 5,000,000 employee equity units to Mr. Smith in connection with his commencement of employment as our Chief Operating Officer. The employee equity units vest, and the risk of forfeiture thereon lapses, as to 25% of the units on the first anniversary of April 12, 2021, and as to 1/48th of the total original amount of the units in equal installments each month thereafter, subject to his continued employment. In connection with the Business Combination, his original employee equity units converted into 1,130,088 common units of Vacasa Employee Holdings LLC, which remain subject to the same vesting and other terms of his original award of employee equity units.

New Equity Plans

In connection with the Business Combination we adopted the Vacasa, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the Vacasa, Inc. 2021 Nonqualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). In 2021, we did not grant any employees, including any executives, any awards under the 2021 Plan, and no executive participated in the ESPP.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. We currently match contributions made by participants in our 401(k) plan in an amount equal to up to 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are generally eligible to participate in health and welfare plans sponsored by us. These health and welfare plans generally include medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, but may be modified by the Company at any time.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer. We did not provide any perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers not otherwise made available to our other employees in 2021.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2021 Fiscal Year End

The following table summarizes the number of outstanding and unvested Vacasa Employee Holdings LLC common units held by each named executive officer as of December 31, 2021.

The common units vest, and the risk of forfeiture thereon lapses, in 24 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the vesting start date subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date.

(4)

The common units vest, and the risk of forfeiture thereon lapses, as to 25% of the units on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and as to 1/48th of the total original amount of units in equal installments each month thereafter, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Offer Letters

We have entered into offer letters with each of our named executive officers. The offer letters generally provide for at-will employment and set forth the executive’s base salary, target annual bonus opportunity, initial equity grant (if applicable), and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans.

Change in Control and Retention Agreements

We have entered into change in control and retention agreements with each of our named executive officers (each, a “CIC Agreement”).

Under Mr. Roberts’s and Ms. Cohen’s CIC Agreements, if the executive’s employment with us is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement) or the executive resigns for good reason (as defined below), the executive will be eligible to receive the following: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 12 months’ salary; (ii) reimbursement for the cost of up to 12 months of healthcare continuation coverage; and (iii) an additional 12 months’ vesting for the executive’s then-outstanding equity awards that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions (or, if the termination date occurs within the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months after a change in control of Vacasa Holdings LLC (as defined in the CIC Agreement), full vesting acceleration for all outstanding equity awards that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions).

Under Mr. Smith’s CIC Agreement, if Mr. Smith’s employment with us is terminated by us without cause (as defined in his CIC Agreement) or he resigns for good reason, he will be eligible to receive the following: (i) a lump sum payment equal to eight months’ salary; (ii) reimbursement for the cost of up to eight months of healthcare continuation coverage; and (iii) for equity awards not subject to performance-based vesting conditions, if the termination occurs within the first 12 months of the commencement of his employment, a number of months of vesting acceleration equal to the greater of (a) eight months or (b) the number of months of his employment with us that have been completed prior to his termination date. Additionally, if the termination without cause or resignation for good reason occurs within the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months after a change in control of Vacasa Holdings LLC (as defined in the CIC Agreement), Mr. Smith will be eligible to receive the following: (i) a lump sum payment

TABLE OF CONTENTS

equal to 12 months’ salary; (ii) reimbursement for the cost of up to 12 months of healthcare continuation coverage; and (iii) either (a) if Mr. Smith has been employed with us for at least 12 months on his termination date, full vesting acceleration for all outstanding equity awards that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions, or (b) if Mr. Smith has been employed with us for less than 12 months on his termination date, accelerated vesting of the first 12 months’ portion of his then-outstanding equity awards that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions.

The foregoing payments and benefits are subject to each executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the company and its affiliates.

Under each CIC Agreement, “good reason” means any of the following that occurs without the executive’s written consent: (a) a material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary; (b) a material reduction in the executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities (provided that such material reduction will not be deemed to occur if the executive is provided with a comparable position (i.e., a position of equal or greater organizational level, authority, duties and responsibilities), and provided further, that a reduction in authority, duties or responsibilities solely by virtue of the company being acquired and made part of a larger entity will not constitute a material reduction); or (c) a change by more than 60 miles in the geographic location of the executive’s principal place of work. A resignation will not be for good reason unless the executive first provides the company (or its successor or affiliate, as applicable) with written notice within 90 days following the initial existence of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for good reason and a reasonable cure period of not less than 30 days following the date of such notice, during which such grounds have not been cured, and the executive resigns the executive’s employment within 90 days following the end of the cure period.

Smith Consulting Agreement

Prior to entering into an employment offer letter with Mr. Smith, the Company engaged Mr. Smith in February 2021 to provide consulting services in connection with business strategy and integration planning for the Company’s acquisition of Turnkey Vacation Rentals, Inc. (the “Smith Consulting Agreement”). Under this arrangement, Mr. Smith was paid a monthly fee of $50,000. The Smith Consulting Agreement terminated at the end of March 2021 in connection with Mr. Smith’s agreement to become a full time employee and join as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Director Compensation

Prior Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Prior to the Closing in December 2021, our non-employee directors unaffiliated with investors were offered compensation under the Vacasa Holdings LLC Outside Manager Compensation Policy (the “Prior Director Compensation Policy”). Under the Prior Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director was paid an annual cash retainer of $35,000, and an additional annual cash retainer based on their service on the following board committees:

Committee	Member			Chair
Audit Committee		$	15,000		$	25,000
Compensation Committee			10,000			20,000

All cash retainers were paid quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial service during the quarter. Additionally, our non-employee directors were eligible to receive equity awards for their service, which were granted in the discretion of the board of directors of Vacasa Holdings which had delegated certain authority to its compensation committee. If we were to undergo a change in control, our policy provided that the vesting of all equity awards then-held by our non-employee directors would fully accelerate. We also reimbursed our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors and its committees.

Under the Prior Director Compensation Policy, Mr. Terrill and Mr. Cohen were the only non-employee directors who received cash retainers for their services in 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Non-Employee Directors Compensation Program

In connection with the Closing in December 2021, we adopted the Vacasa, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (the “Director Compensation Program”), which superseded our Prior Director Compensation Policy. The Director Compensation Program provides our non-employee directors with fixed annual cash retainer fees as well as long-term equity compensation awards for their service on the Board. Additional fixed annual cash retainer fees are paid to non-employee directors for committee membership and chairperson service.

Under the Director Compensation Program, each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $50,000, and any non-executive chairperson will receive an additional annual cash retainer of $40,000. The members of the following committees receive additional annual cash retainers in the amounts set forth below, depending on whether the member serves as chairperson of the committee:

Committee	Member			Chair
Audit Committee		$	12,500		$	25,000
Compensation Committee			10,000			20,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee			5,000			10,000

All annual cash retainers are paid quarterly in arrears promptly following the end of the applicable quarter (and prorated for partial service during a quarter).

Each non-employee director may elect to receive all or part of his or her annual cash retainer in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Vacasa, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Elections to convert all or part of the annual cash retainer into RSUs must generally be made on or before December 31 of the year before the year in which the annual cash retainer is scheduled to be paid, or such earlier deadline as established by our Board or its Compensation Committee. Each individual who first becomes a non-employee director is permitted to elect to convert the annual cash retainer payments scheduled to be paid in the same calendar year into RSUs, provided that the election is made before the date the individual becomes a non-employee director. RSUs granted in lieu of all or a portion of the annual cash retainer are issued fully vested on the date of grant, and the number of RSUs is calculated by dividing (a) the amount of the annual retainer that would have otherwise been paid by (b) the average closing trading price of our Class A Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. In addition, to the extent permitted by the Board or its Compensation Committee, the Director Compensation Program provides that non-employee directors may elect to defer the settlement of RSUs granted to them.

Upon a non-employee director’s initial appointment or election to our Board, the director will automatically be granted an award of a number of RSUs calculated by dividing (a) $320,000 by (b) the average closing trading price of our Class A Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the grant date (the “Initial Grant”). The Initial Grant will vest as to one-third of the RSUs on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date.

Additionally, on the date of each annual stockholders’ meeting, each non-employee director who will continue to serve immediately following the meeting will be automatically granted an award of a number of RSUs calculated by dividing (a) $200,000 by (b) the average closing trading price of our Class A Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the grant date (the “Annual Grant”). However, if a non-employee director is otherwise eligible for an Annual Grant as of the date of an annual meeting but has been serving on the Board for less than four months as of the date of such annual meeting, then the number of RSUs subject to the Annual Grant will be prorated by multiplying the number of RSUs that would otherwise be subject to the Annual Grant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of the non-employee director’s appointment or election through the date of such annual meeting, and the denominator of which is 365. Each Annual Grant will vest on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) immediately before our next annual stockholders meeting following the grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our voting shares as of March 28, 2022 by:

•

each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting shares;

•

each of our named executive officers and directors; and

•

all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if such person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of stock appreciation rights, the settlement of RSUs, or the vesting of OpCo Units that remain subject to time-based vesting requirements (and the issuance of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock in connection therewith), in each case, within 60 days of March 28, 2022. Shares subject to stock appreciation rights that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 28, 2022, and RSUs or OpCo Units that are currently vested or that will vest within 60 days of March 28, 2022 (and, in the case of such OpCo Units, the shares of Class B Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with such vesting), are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such stock appreciation rights, RSUs or OpCo Units for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock is based on 214,799,105 shares of Class A Common Stock and 213,580,295 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 28, 2022.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. To our knowledge, none of our shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any executive officer or director have been pledged as security. Unless otherwise noted, the address for each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Vacasa, Inc., 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209.

In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is in the ordinary course, on terms comparable to those that could be obtained on terms no less favorable than in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. It is our policy that no director participate in approval of a related person transaction as to which he or she is a related person or otherwise has an interest.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes

In May 2020, Vacasa Holdings entered into a note purchase agreement with certain existing investors, including certain entities affiliated with Silver Lake, Riverwood Capital and Level Equity Management, pursuant to which we issued $108.1 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the “D-1 Convertible Notes”). The D-1 Convertible Notes had a maturity date of June 30, 2023 (unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted) and accrued (i) cash interest at 3% per annum, payable annually in arrears on the anniversary of the initial closing date, and (ii) paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest at 7% per annum, which was capitalized annually on each anniversary of the initial closing date.

The following table summarizes the D-1 Convertible Notes held by entities affiliated with Silver Lake, Riverwood Capital and Level Equity Management, including the initial principal amount thereof; the largest principal amount outstanding thereunder after the issuance date (which excludes accrued any PIK interest); and cash interest payments made by Vacasa Holdings during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Common Unit Warrants

In December 2015, Vacasa LLC (predecessor to Vacasa Holdings) issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 58,236 common units to certain entities affiliated with Level Equity Management, which warrants subsequently became exercisable for an aggregate of up to 5,430,000 Class B common units of Vacasa Holdings. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.0001 per unit and were exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on December 31, 2025; provided that if such warrants were not exercised prior to such time, or prior to the closing of a deemed liquidation event or initial public offering, such warrants would be deemed to have been automatically net exercised immediately prior to such time in accordance with their terms. The warrants were net exercised immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with their terms.

Other Transactions

Over the last several years, Vacasa Holdings has entered into homeowner agreements with Eric Breon, a member of our Board, to manage certain vacation rental properties owned by Mr. Breon. The aggregate rental income earned by Mr. Breon pursuant to these agreements was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Stockholders Agreement

See “Corporate Governance — Our Board of Directors” for a discussion regarding designation rights of certain of our stockholders set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides for certain coordination of sales and distributions for a period of 18 months following the Closing of the Business Combination.

Registration Rights Agreement

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with TPG Sponsor, TPG Pace and certain existing equity holders of Vacasa Holdings (the “Vacasa Holders” and, together with Vacasa, Inc., TPG Sponsor, TPG Pace, the “RRA Parties”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to submit to or file with the SEC within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date a registration statement permitting the offer and resale of our Class A Common Stock held by each RRA Party immediately following the Closing as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and that they may acquire thereafter, including upon the exercise, conversion, exchange or redemption of any other security therefor which security is held by such RRA Party immediately following the Closing (the “Registrable Securities”) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC upon, or as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof. Shares of our Class G Common Stock that are convertible into shares of our Class A Common Stock upon certain triggering events will not constitute Registrable Securities unless and until such shares have converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock. Vacasa, Inc. will also provide certain RRA Parties with certain customary demand registration rights, subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the RRA Parties will also have “piggyback” registration rights that allow them to include their Registrable Securities in certain registrations initiated by us. Subject to customary exceptions, RRA Parties will also have the right to request one or more underwritten offerings of Registrable Securities if the total offering price of the shares to be sold in such offering (before deduction of underwriting discounts) is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $75,000,000. If the sale of registered securities under a registration statement would require disclosure of certain material information not otherwise required to be disclosed, we may postpone the effectiveness of the applicable registration statement or require the suspension of sales thereunder.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, TPG Pace merged with and into Vacasa, Inc. with Vacasa, Inc. surviving the merger. Thereafter, through a series of separate merger transactions, the Blockers merged with and into Vacasa, Inc., with Vacasa, Inc. ultimately surviving such merger transactions,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and as a result, Vacasa, Inc. owns the interests in OpCo previously owned by the Blockers and acquired tax attributes of the Blockers. The holder of OpCo Units (“OpCo Unitholders”) (other than Vacasa, Inc.) may cause their OpCo Units to be redeemed for shares of our Class A Common Stock or cash, as applicable, pursuant to the redemption rights (the “Redemption Rights”) under the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo (the “OpCo LLC Agreement”) following the Business Combination. In addition, we acquired OpCo Units for Class A Common Stock or cash from certain OpCo Unitholders in connection with the Business Combination.

OpCo intends to make for itself (and for each of its direct or indirect subsidiaries it controls that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) an election under Section 754 of the Code that will be effective for the taxable year of the Business Combination and each taxable year in which a redemption of OpCo Units pursuant to the Redemption Rights occurs. Pursuant to the Section 754 election, the acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of OpCo Units by us in connection with the Business Combination or pursuant to the Redemption Rights is expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of OpCo and its subsidiaries, and these adjustments will be allocated solely to us. Such adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of OpCo and its subsidiaries would not have been available to us absent our acquisition or deemed acquisition of OpCo Units pursuant to the Business Combination or the exercise of the Redemption Rights. The anticipated basis adjustments that are allocable to us are expected to increase (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) our depreciation and amortization deductions and may also decrease our gains (or increase our losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent the increase in tax basis is allocated to those assets. Such increased deductions and losses and reduced gains and the tax attributes acquired from the Blockers may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

Concurrently with the Closing, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with the holders of Vacasa Holdings equity (including for this purpose the owners of the Blockers with respect to their indirect interest in Vacasa Holdings equity and the holders of vested Vacasa Holdings unit appreciation rights and the holders of vested options to purchase shares of TK Newco common stock) existing prior to the Business Combination (the “Existing EV Holders”) (other than the holders of Vacasa Holdings unit appreciation rights and other than holders of options to purchase shares of TK Newco common stock, but including for this purpose current and former members of management that hold interests in Vacasa Holdings indirectly through a management holding vehicle), which we refer to collectively as the “TRA Parties.” The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by us to the TRA Parties of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that we actually realize (or are considered to have realized applying certain assumptions set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement) in periods after the Business Combination as a result of: (i) existing tax basis of the assets of Vacasa Holdings prior to the Business Combination; (ii) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the Business Combination or (B) exercises of the Redemption Rights set forth in the OpCo LLC Agreement; (iii) additional basis arising from any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement; (iv) certain tax attributes of the Blockers acquired in the Business Combination, and (v) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of any payments that it makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The rights of the TRA Parties (including the right to receive payments) under the Tax Receivable Agreement are generally transferable by the TRA Parties as long as the transferee of such rights has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our obligations and not obligations of OpCo, and we expect that the payments it will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Estimating the amount and timing of our realization of tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise. The actual increases in tax basis covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the amount and timing of our ability to use any tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent upon significant future events, including but not limited to the timing of the redemptions of OpCo Units, the price of our Class A Common Stock at the time of each redemption, the extent to which such redemptions are taxable transactions, the amount of tax basis associated with the OpCo Units of the redeeming holder at the time of the relevant redemption, the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the tax basis covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the amount, character, and timing of taxable income we generate in the future, the timing and amount of any earlier payments that we

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may have made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the U.S. federal income tax rate then applicable to us, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis. Accordingly, estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the Tax Receivable Agreement is also by its nature imprecise. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, net cash savings in tax generally will be calculated by comparing our actual tax liability (determined using certain assumptions set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement) to the amount we would have been required to pay had we not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

A delay in the timing of redemptions of OpCo Units, holding other assumptions constant, would be expected to decrease the discounted value of the amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as the benefit of the depreciation and amortization deductions would be delayed and the estimated increase in tax basis could be reduced as a result of allocations of OpCo’s taxable income to the redeeming OpCo Unitholder prior to the redemption. Stock price increases or decreases at the time of each redemption of OpCo Units would be expected to result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the undiscounted amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement in an amount equal to 85% of the tax-effected change in price. Increases in the applicable corporate income tax rate and estimated applicable state and local income tax rates would be expected to result in a corresponding increase in the undiscounted amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of the corresponding increase in the expected net cash savings.

The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent upon us having sufficient future taxable income to utilize the tax benefits on which it is required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. If our projected taxable income is significantly reduced, the expected payments would be reduced to the extent such tax benefits do not result in a reduction of our future income tax liabilities.

There may be a negative impact on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies, acceleration upon a change of control (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or early termination, or otherwise, (i) the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or (ii) distributions to us by OpCo are not sufficient to permit us to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid its taxes and other obligations. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations or changes of control that could be in the best interests of holders of Class A Common Stock or reducing the consideration paid in any such transaction to holders of Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement having a continued ownership interest in either OpCo or Vacasa, Inc.

In addition, although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other relevant tax authorities to challenge potential tax basis increases or other tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the applicable TRA Parties will not reimburse Vacasa, Inc. for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such basis increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed. As a result, in such circumstances, we could make payments that are greater than our actual cash tax savings, if any, and may not be able to recoup those payments, which could adversely affect our liquidity. Payments generally will be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement as we realize tax savings in periods after consummation of the Business Combination from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement (determined in accordance with the principles set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement). However, if the Tax Receivable Agreement terminates early (at our election or due to other circumstances, including our breach of a material obligation thereunder or certain changes of control), we would be required to make an immediate payment to each TRA Party equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by it under the Tax Receivable Agreement (based upon certain valuation assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement (described below)) and determined by (A) applying a discount rate equal to the lesser of (i) 6.5% and (ii) LIBOR (or a replacement rate, if applicable) plus 150 basis points, (B) increased by any future payments agreed to by us and the Representative (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) that is due and payable with respect to such TRA Party, (C) increased by any future payments due and payable with respect to such TRA Party for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a taxable year ending prior to the early termination date, and (D) (without duplication) any interest accruing on the amounts in clause through (C).

With respect to an early termination payment, the calculation of anticipated future payments will be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including that (i) we have sufficient income to fully utilize the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the applicable tax rates will be those specified by law as in effect as of the termination date, (iii) non-amortizable assets that have not previously been disposed of will be disposed of in a fully taxable transaction on the fifth anniversary of the early termination (as set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement), and any OpCo Units (other than those held by us) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the early termination payment relates.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that in the event that we breach any of our material obligations thereunder (whether as a result of failure to make any payment within three months of the date when due, as a result of the failure to honor any other material obligation required under the Tax Receivable Agreement or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of the Tax Receivable Agreement in a case commenced under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and we fail to cure such breach within twenty business days of being notified of such breach) all of our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to the TRA Parties shall be accelerated.

Payments generally are due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within five business days following the finalization of the schedule with respect to which the payment obligation is calculated. However, interest on such payments will generally begin to accrue from the due date (without extensions) of our U.S. federal income tax return for the period to which such payments relate until such payment due date at a rate equal to LIBOR (or a replacement rate, if applicable) plus 100 basis points. Other than in connection with accelerated payments, in the event that we fail to make a payment when due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, such failure is not considered to be a breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement if we fail to make such payment when due to the extent that we have insufficient funds to make such payment, provided that we have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such funds. In such case, interest will accrue from the due date for such payment until the payment date at a rate of LIBOR (or a replacement rate, if applicable) plus 500 basis points. However, interest will accrue from the due date for such payment until the payment date at a rate of LIBOR (or a replacement rate, if applicable) plus 100 basis points if we are unable to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by certain senior obligations. We have no present intention to defer payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Tax Receivable Agreement generally may be amended if approved in writing by us and the TRA Parties who would be entitled to receive at least 50% of the total amount of the early termination payments payable to all TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement (assuming all equity interests in OpCo that have Redemption Rights are redeemed and exchanged for shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time and using the valuation assumptions described above). To the extent an amendment would disproportionately affect payments made to certain holders of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, such amendment would require the written consent such TRA Parties who would be entitled to receive at least 50% of the total amount of the early termination payments payable to all TRA Parties disproportionately affected (assuming all equity interests in OpCo that have redemption rights are redeemed and exchanged for shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time and using the valuation assumptions described above). Additionally, no provision under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be amended in such a manner that would disproportionately affect any TRA Party without the consent of the Representative (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement), and no provision of the Tax Receivable Agreement may be amended in a manner that would disproportionately affect any Exchange TRA Party (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or Reorganization TRA Party (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) as compared to other Exchange TRA Parties or Reorganization TRA Parties, respectively, without the consent of such affected party, as applicable.

Because we are a holding company with no operations of our own, our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on the ability of OpCo to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This ability, in turn, may depend

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on the ability of OpCo’s subsidiaries to make distributions to us. The ability of OpCo, its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, the applicable provisions of Delaware law (or other applicable jurisdiction) that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and restrictions in relevant credit agreements or debt instruments issued by OpCo or its subsidiaries and/other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will accrue interest until paid (as described above).

Forward Purchase Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, TPG Pace and Vacasa, Inc. entered into Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which, among other things, Vacasa, Inc. agreed to issue to (i) certain third parties an aggregate of 10,273,688 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $9.50 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $97,600,000, and (ii) TPG Holdings III, L.P (“TPG Holdings”), an affiliate of TPG Global, LLC (“TPG Global”), an aggregate of 2,490,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $24,900,000. In connection with the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements, TPG Holdings assigned its obligations under such agreement with respect to an aggregate of 2,016,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain affiliates and other investors. The transactions contemplated by the Forward Purchase Agreements closed substantially concurrently with the Closing.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers and expect to do so in the future for any new executive officers and directors.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, our principal accounting officer and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of their ownership and changes in their ownership of our common stock. To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports and amendments to such reports with respect to the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC and on written representations by our directors and executive officers, all required Section 16 reports under the Exchange Act for our directors, executive officers, principal accounting officer and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of our common stock were filed on a timely basis during the year ended December 31, 2021 or prior fiscal years other than two filings made by entities affiliated with Jeffrey Parks to include certain beneficial owners previously not included in the original Form 3 as reporting persons.

ITEM 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2022

Our Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of KPMG LLP is not required by law, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

KPMG LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit services. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will consider this factor when making any determination regarding KPMG. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Fees and Services

This category also includes fees for services incurred in connection with our reverse recapitalization and nonrecurring transactions.

(2)

Consists of fees for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance, including assistance with tax compliance reporting requirements and taxing authority audits, value-added tax compliance, and mergers and acquisitions tax compliance. These services also include tax advice and tax planning on international, federal and state tax matters.

Policy Regarding the Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Provision of Audit, Audit-Related and Non-Audit Services

The formal written charter for our Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit services to be provided to us, whether provided by our principal auditor or other firms, and all other services (review, attest and non-audit) to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm, other than de minimis non-audit services approved in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that the Audit Committee will not engage an independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee (specific pre-approval) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (general pre-approval). Unless a type of service to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval under the Pre-Approval Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee delegates authority to make pre-approval decisions must report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories or above the pre-approved amounts, the Audit Committee requires pre-approval for such additional services or such additional amounts. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the audit committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by our independent registered accounting firm without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The above-described services provided to us by KPMG LLP prior to our becoming a public company were provided under engagements entered into prior to our adoption of our pre-approval policies and, following the Closing, in accordance with such policies.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Vacasa, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and has discussed these financial statements with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to confirm your identity and to allow you to give your voting instructions. If you wish to vote by telephone or the Internet, please follow the instructions on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Additional instructions will be provided on the telephone message and website. Please have your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at hand when voting. If you vote by telephone or Internet, DO NOT mail a proxy card. The telephone and Internet voting facilities will close at 11:59 P.M. ET on May 23, 2022.

If you mail us your properly completed and signed proxy card, or vote by telephone or the Internet, your shares of Common Stock will be voted according to the choices that you specify. If you sign and mail your proxy card without marking any choices, your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board — FOR the Board’s nominees for Class I directors (Item (1)), FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LLP as independent registered public accounting firm (Item (2)), and in the discretion of the named proxies upon such other matters as may properly come before the meeting.

If you have shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other registered owner or nominee, you should receive instructions from that registered owner about how to instruct them to vote those shares.

Beneficial Owners: If at the close of business on March 28, 2022, your shares were held in “street name” through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Internet and telephone voting also may be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of stockholders as of the Record Date. You will need to obtain your own Internet access if you choose to attend the Annual Meeting online and/or vote over the Internet.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The shares referred to on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials represent all shares registered in the name(s) shown thereon.

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

Proposal	Votes required	Effect of Votes Withheld / Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Item 1 – Election of Directors	The plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors.	Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect.
Item 2 – Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.	Abstentions will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP.

What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Can I change my vote?

You may revoke your proxy at any time after you give it and before it is voted by entering a new vote by telephone or the Internet or by delivering either a written revocation or a signed proxy bearing a later date to the Chief Legal Officer of the Company or by voting via the Internet during the Annual Meeting by participating in the virtual meeting. To revoke a proxy by telephone or the Internet, you must do so by 11:59 P.M. ET on May 23, 2022 (following the directions on the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials). Participation in the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Who is soliciting my vote?

The solicitation of proxies is made by our Board of Directors for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company.

How do I submit questions for the Annual Meeting?

Log into the online meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VCSA2022, type your question into the “Ask a Question” field and click “Submit”.

Only stockholders with a valid control number will be allowed to ask questions. Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. We reserve the right to edit inappropriate language and to exclude questions that are personal matters, do not comply with the meeting rules of conduct or are otherwise inappropriate. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

How do I obtain materials for the Annual Meeting?

As permitted by SEC rules, we are making this proxy statement and our annual report available to stockholders electronically via the Internet. On or about April 11, 2022, we began mailing to certain stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our annual report and how to vote online. If you received that notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request it by following the instructions for requesting such materials contained in the notice. The proxy statement and our 2021 Annual Report are available to you at www.proxyvote.com and may also be accessed on our website at investors.vacasa.com.

This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are also first being mailed to stockholders on or about April 11, 2022. In the same package with this proxy material, you should have received a copy of our 2021 Annual Report. When you receive this package, if all of these materials are not included, please contact us and a copy of any missing material will be sent at no expense to you.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order to conduct any business at the Annual Meeting, the presence at the Annual Meeting of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote must be present in person, or by remote communication, as applicable, or represented by proxy so that there is a quorum. The voting securities of the Company on March 28, 2022 consisted of 214,799,105 shares of Class A

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Common Stock and 213,580,295 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. It is important that you vote promptly so that your shares are counted toward the quorum.

How do I review the list of stockholders?

The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available during the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VCSA2022 and, for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, at the Office of the Chief Legal Officer of the Company. Only stockholders that have logged in to the Annual Meeting with a valid control number will be allowed to view the list of stockholders during the Annual Meeting.

What is the Company’s mailing policy when multiple registered stockholders share an address?

The Company is permitted and intends to mail only one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and/or one annual report and one proxy statement to multiple registered stockholders sharing an address who have consented to the delivery of one set of proxy materials per address or have received prior notice of our intent to do so, so long as the Company has not received contrary instructions from one or more of such stockholders. This practice is commonly referred to as “householding.” Householding reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and the cost to the Company of preparing and mailing duplicate materials.

If you share an address with other registered stockholders and your household receives one set of the proxy materials and you decide you want a separate copy of the proxy materials, the Company will promptly mail your separate copy if you contact the ir@vacasa.com. Additionally, to resume the mailing of individual copies of future proxy materials to a particular stockholder, you may contact the Chief Legal Officer and your request will be effective within 30 days after receipt. You may request householding of these documents by providing the Chief Legal Officer with a written request to eliminate multiple mailings. The written request must include names and account numbers of all stockholders consenting to householding for a given address and must be signed by those stockholders.

Additionally, the Company has been notified that certain banks, brokers and other nominees may household the Company’s proxy materials for stockholders who hold Company shares with the bank, broker or other nominee in “street” name and have consented to householding. In this case, you may request individual copies of proxy materials by contacting your bank, broker or other nominee.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors is not presently aware of any matters to be conducted at the meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must submit the proposal to our Chief Legal Officer at our offices at 850 NW 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209 in writing not later than December 12, 2022.

Stockholders intending to present a proposal at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, or to nominate a person for election as a director, must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require, among other things, that our Chief Legal Officer receive written notice from the stockholder of record of their intent to present such proposal or nomination not earlier than the 120th day and not later than the 90th day prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, we must receive notice of such a proposal or nomination for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders no earlier than January 24, 2023 and no later than February 23, 2023. The notice must contain the information required by the Bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Chief Legal Officer. In the event that the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

TABLE OF CONTENTS

is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after May 24, 2023, then our Chief Legal Officer must receive such written notice not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting or, if later, the close of business on 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made by us.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 27, 2023.

We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these or other applicable requirements.

PROXY SOLICITATION

The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors, whose Notice of Annual Meeting is attached to this proxy statement, and the entire cost of our solicitation will be borne by us. In addition to the use of mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, e-mail and facsimile by our directors, officers and other employees who will not be specially compensated for these services. We will also request that brokers, nominees, custodians and other fiduciaries forward soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by the brokers, nominees, custodians and other fiduciaries. We will reimburse these persons for their reasonable expenses in connection with these activities.

Certain information contained in this proxy statement relating to the occupations and security holdings of our directors and officers is based upon information received from the individual directors and officers.

We intend to file a proxy statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC in connection with the solicitation of proxies for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders may obtain our proxy statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed by us with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at: www.sec.gov.
