Sandra Wijnberg, Hugh Frater and Noah Knauf were appointed to serve on Hippo Holdings' audit, risk and compliance committee with Sandra Wijnberg serving as the chair and qualifying as an audit committee financial expert, as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Compensatory Arrangements for Directors Hippo has not historically maintained a formal non-employee director compensation program but has made stock and option grants to non-employee directors when determined appropriate. In fiscal year 2020, no director received cash for their services on the Hippo board. However, in September 2020, Hippo granted Ms. Wijnberg an option to purchase 35,000 shares of Hippo common stock. Ms. Wijnberg's option vests as to 1/12th of the shares on each quarterly anniversary of September 28, 2020, subject to her continued service through the applicable vesting date. Messrs. Wand and McCathron did not receive additional compensation for their service as directors. In connection with the Closing, Hippo Holdings adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. 2020 Director Compensation Table The following table sets forth all of the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to Hippo's non-employee directors during 2020.
