BENEFITS


 


As a fulltime employee of Bright Health,
you are eligible to participate in our company-sponsored benefit plans. We offer the following coverages, some paid in part by Bright
Health: medical, dental, vision, flexible spending account, commuter and life & disability. In addition, employees may enroll in our
401k plan following 90 days of employment. Our plan offers a 3% safe harbor contribution. The Company may change these benefits
from time to time. You are entitled to paid time off “PTO” according
to our current Company policies and subject to the approval of your immediate supervisor.


 


STOCK OPTIONS


 


As part of your offer, we are providing
you with an opportunity to own equity in Bright Health and participate in the growth of the Company. This comes in the form of Stock Options
to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. We will recommend that our Board of Directors grant
to you a stock option of 1,050,000 shares. These will be available to you at an exercise price equal to fair market value per share,

reason).
