Offering Note (1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (the "Registrant") that become issuable in respect of the securities identified in the above table by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Amount Registered represents (i) 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") and (ii) 10,000 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP," and together with the Omnibus Plan, the "Plans"), resulting from the automatic annual increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plans.

The proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are based on the average of the high ($49.65) and low ($47.05) prices of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 9, 2026. Under the ESPP, the purchase price of a share of common stock is equal to 95% of the fair market value of the Registrant's common stock on the offering date or the purchase date, whichever is less.
