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

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 14, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan is a long-term incentive plan that is intended to provide participants with an incentive to contribute materially to the Company’s growth by aligning the economic interests of the participants with those of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, pursuant to the 2024 Plan, awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and key advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units, other stock-based awards, and cash awards. The 2024 Plan was adopted principally to serve as a successor plan to the Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and to increase the number of shares of Company common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), reserved for equity-based awards to 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock (in addition to the share reserve amount that remained available under the Prior Plan immediately prior to the adoption of the 2024 Plan and other eligible returning shares). No awards may be granted under the 2024 Plan after May 13, 2034. It is not possible to determine specific amounts and types of awards that may be granted to eligible participants under the 2024 Plan subsequent to the Annual Meeting because the grant and payment of such awards is subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

This summary of the 2024 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2024 Plan, which is filed as Appendix A to the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024 and in the revised definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on April 4, 2024.
