Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Definitive Healthcare s executive compensation philosophy is based on total direct compensation--base salary, annual cash incentives, and long-term equity incentives--designed to attract and retain executive talent, reward achievement of financial and strategic objectives, and align executives interests with stockholders. The HCM & Compensation Committee oversees this program using its judgment, considers peer/market data and CEO recommendations (other than for the CEO), and generally seeks a mix in which long-term equity represents a substantial majority of target compensation.

Peer group, and who names Definitive Healthcare as a peer
Companies that benchmark against DH
6 companies name DH as a compensation peer
- ALKAMI TECHNOLOGY, INC.ALKTFY2025
- American Well CorpAMWLFY2025
- Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc.CCSIFY2025
- DocGo Inc.DCGOFY2025
- Huckleberry.ai, Inc.DOMOFY2026
Each company listed discloses DH in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named DH in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Chief executive pay against the peer group
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
| Rank | Company | FY | Chief executive | Salary | Stock awards | Option awards | Non-equity incentive | Total |

| 1 | Definitive Healthcare Corp. | 2025 | Kevin Coop | $500,000 | $7,696,741 | $0 | $384,875 | $8,604,138 |
Each peer’s compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer’s figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
