UpHealth Announces the Removal of Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors

Action Taken to Ensure Orderly Functioning of the Board

Dr. Avi Katz to Serve as Sole Independent Chairman

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 14, 2022 - UpHealth, Inc. (NYSE: UPH) ("UpHealth" or the "Company") today announced that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") removed Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria from the role of Co-Chairman of the Board with immediate effect. Dr. Kathuria will remain a member of the Board and Dr. Avi Katz will serve as the Chairman of the Board. Dr. Kathuria has initiated litigation against the Company and several of its independent directors, including Dr. Katz, the Co-Chairman of the Board. Dr. Kathuria is also a participant in an effort to solicit proxies in opposition to the Company's nominees for election at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Company issued the following statement:

"Historically, the two Co-Chairs of UpHealth's Board have operated with a consensus-driven approach, with an implicit understanding that both individuals would share equally in the duties of the Chairman and that the approval of each Co-Chair was necessary to take actions under the purview of the Chairman.

In light of recent actions that Dr. Kathuria has taken, including his initiation of a lawsuit against the Company and several of its independent directors, the Board believes the interests of Dr. Kathuria and those of the Company and its stockholders are potentially adverse now. Accordingly, the Board determined that its historical Co-Chairman structure is unworkable and imprudent and could lead to a deadlock among the Board's leadership at a critical time for the Company.

To ensure the proper functioning of the Board, the Board has therefore voted to appoint a single Non-Executive Chairman and remove Dr. Kathuria from the role of Co-Chairman. The Board believes that Dr. Katz, who has served as a director since 2019 and Co-Chairman since 2021, is well-suited to serve as the Board's sole Chairman at this time.

The Board remains committed to delivering on the Company's promise to help the world's most trusted health institutions achieve their access, quality and affordability goals and to effect positive change in healthcare globally."

The Company reminds stockholders that the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders is scheduled to be held on June 28, 2022. The Company encourages all stockholders to read the proxy materials delivered by the Company thoroughly and to vote electronically, by phone or by mail using the Company's WHITE proxy card.
