We have sent you this proxy statement, our 2020 Annual Report and the proxy card, or collectively, the proxy materials, because the Board of Directors of Hims & Hers (our ‘‘Board,’’ ‘‘Board of Directors’’ or the ‘‘Hims & Hers Board of Directors’’) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement summarizes the information you will need to know to cast an informed vote at the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or follow the instructions below to submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone. We intend to begin mailing these proxy materials on or about May 17, 2021 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Will I receive any other proxy materials? Rules adopted by the SEC allow companies to send stockholders a notice of internet availability of proxy materials, rather than mail them full sets of proxy materials. This year, we chose to mail full packages of proxy materials to our stockholders. However, in the future we may take advantage of the internet distribution option. If, in the future, we choose to send such notices, they would contain instructions on how stockholders can access our notice of annual meeting and proxy statement via the Internet. They would also contain instructions on how stockholders could request to receive their materials electronically or in printed form on a one-time or ongoing basis. What is a virtual Annual Meeting? The Annual Meeting will be conducted as a virtual meeting of stockholders by means of a live webcast. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting will enable greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location, improved communication and cost savings to our stockholders, and support the health of our stockholders and employees given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (‘‘COVID-19’’). You can virtually attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HIMS2021, where, subject to the instructions provided below, you will be able to vote your shares and submit your questions during the meeting via the Internet. There will not be a physical meeting location and you will not be able to attend in person. We invite you to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and request that you vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the virtual meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote over the Internet, by telephone, or by completing and mailing your proxy card, as described below. The Annual Meeting starts at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting website prior to the start time to allow time for check-in. Follow the instructions in your proxy materials or proxy card to access the Annual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log-in page. You do not need to register to attend the Annual Meeting webcast. However, if you do not register and attend the Annual Meeting as a guest (non-stockholder), you will not have the option to vote your shares or ask questions during the virtual meeting. Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding personal matters, including those related to employment, are not pertinent to meeting matters and, therefore, will not be answered. What am I voting on? There are two matters scheduled for a vote: 1. The election of all nine of our existing directors to serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. 2. The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. 1 What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors on each of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting? The Board recommends that you vote: • FOR each of the nominees to the Board; and • FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Who can vote at the Annual Meeting? Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On this record date, there were 183,409,192 shares of Company’s Class A common stock (‘‘Class A Common Stock’’) and 8,377,623 shares of the Company’s Class V common stock (‘‘Class V Common Stock’’) outstanding.
