Effective February 18, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Teladoc Health, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the number of directors on the Board to ten and appointed Michael S. Smith as a director of the Company. Mr. Smith was additionally appointed to each of the audit committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board. The Board has determined that Mr. Smith is an independent director within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and is an “audit committee financial expert” under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and New York Stock Exchange rules.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Smith and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Smith that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Smith will have the same director indemnification arrangement as do the Company’s other directors appointed since October 2020, the form of agreement for which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Mr. Smith will be eligible to participate in the compensation arrangements and programs that are established for the Company’s non-employee directors, as in effect from time to time, which are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2025.

Effective following the resignation of Thomas G. McKinley from the Board on February 20, 2026, as disclosed on the Company's Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2026, the number of directors on the Board will decrease to nine.
