Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on the Form 8-K filed by GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) with

the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2024, Adam Karol notified the Company on March 12,

2024 of his decision to resign as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective as of March 22,

2024.

On May 29, 2024, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,

elected Simon Patterson as a Class II director, effective immediately, to fill the vacancy on the Board created by the

resignation of Adam Karol. As a Class II Director, Mr. Patterson’s term will expire at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of

Stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board

also appointed Mr. Patterson as a member of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board

has determined that Mr. Patterson qualifies as “independent” under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Mr.

Patterson will not receive compensation for his service on the Board.

Mr. Patterson, age 51, is a Managing Director at Silver Lake, a global technology investment firm ("Silver Lake"),

which he joined in 2005. Prior to joining Silver Lake, Mr. Patterson was a member of the founding management team of

Global Freight Exchange Limited, a logistics software company acquired by Descartes Systems Group, and worked in

various management roles at the Financial Times, a leading news organization. Mr. Patterson serves on the board of

directors of several private companies and is a Trustee and Vice Chairman of The Royal Foundation of The Prince and

Princess of Wales and a member of Mark Carney’s Panel of Senior Advisors at Chatham House. Previously, Mr. Patterson

served on the board of directors of various public companies, including Dell Technologies Inc., a leading technology

company, from October 2013 to September 2023, and Tesco plc, a multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer,

from April 2016 to June 2022, where he was a member of its audit committee. He also served as a Trustee of the Natural

History Museum in London. Mr. Patterson holds an M.A. from King's College, Cambridge University and an M.B.A. from the

Stanford University Graduate School of Business, where he was an Arjay Miller Scholar and received the Alexander

Robichek Award for Finance. The Company believes Mr. Patterson is qualified to serve on the Board because he has

significant financial and management expertise and extensive experience in operating, advising and investing in technology

and technology-enabled companies.

The Company is party to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “Stockholders

Agreement”), by and among the Company, SLP Geology Aggregator, L.P. (with certain affiliate stockholders, the “Silver Lake

Stockholders”), an entity affiliated with Silver Lake, and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively, together with

the Silver Lake Stockholders, the “Sponsor Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Company granted each Sponsor

Stockholder certain board designation rights subject to such Sponsor Stockholder’s ownership of specified percentages of

the Company’s common stock. The Silver Lake Stockholders did not exercise their right under the Stockholders Agreement

to fill the vacancy created by Adam Karol’s resignation and retain such right to designate one additional director. As

discussed above, the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board approved,

the appointment of Mr. Patterson to fill the Class II vacancy. Except for the applicable matters regarding SLP Geology

Aggregator, L.P. and its affiliates disclosed in the Company’s most recent Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on

April 25, 2024, there are no transactions in which the Company is a party and in which Mr. Patterson has a material interest

subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Patterson has entered into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers, the form

of which was previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (File No.

333-248465) initially filed by the Company with the SEC on September 14, 2020.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the election of Mr. Patterson as a director and his committee

assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
