Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On January 1, 2019, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Inovalon Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) recommended to the Board for appointment and the Board appointed Isaac Samuel Kohane to the Company’s Board, effective January 1, 2019. It is contemplated that Mr. Kohane may serve on certain committees of the Board, but no such committee appointments have been made at this time.

Mr. Kohane will receive the same compensation as the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described under the heading “Director Compensation” in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2018, which section is incorporated by reference herein. Such compensation includes an annual cash retainer of $75,000 payable in quarterly increments in arrears and an annual award of $175,000 payable in equity, which Mr. Kohane will receive as a grant of restricted Class A common stock units in connection with his appointment, issuable under the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Kohane will enter into the Company’s standard form of Indemnification Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2014, as amended (Registration No. 333-201321). Except as set forth above, there is no other material Company plan, contract or arrangement in which Mr. Kohane will participate in connection with his appointment. No family relationships exist between Mr. Kohane and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. There are no actual or proposed transactions between Mr. Kohane or any related persons (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

In connection with Mr. Kohane’s appointment, on January 1, 2019, the Board increased the size of the Board from seven to eight directors, effective as of such date.

On January 1, 2019, the Board granted a leave of absence to Mr. Andre Hoffmann from his duties as a director effective as of such date for one (1) year, as may be extended or shortened at Mr. Hoffmann’s request and the Board’s approval, pursuant to the Amendment (as defined in Item 5.03 below) (the “Sabbatical”).  Mr. Hoffmann requested the Sabbatical for personal reasons. 

On January 7, 2019, the Company issued a press release relating to Mr. Kohane’s appointment as a director, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 1, 2019, the Board adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), effective on that date, to add a new Section 5 to Article II of the Bylaws allowing the Board, by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, to grant a leave of absence to a director for a specified period of time that shall not exceed one (1) year, unless the leave of absence is renewed from time-to-time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. The Amendment gives the Compensation Committee of the Board discretion to determine appropriate adjustments to compensation and stock awards with respect to any director granted a leave of absence.

A copy of the Amendment is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01     Financial Statements and Exhibits.
