beneficial ownership financial

"information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

restricted stock units financial

"restricted stock units ("RSU") that vest within 60 days"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

sole or shared voting or investment power regulatory

"possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security"

How does Ethos Technologies determine beneficial ownership?

Ethos generally treats a person as having beneficial ownership when that person has sole or shared voting or investment power over a security. The calculation also includes options exercisable and restricted stock units vesting within 60 days of September 30, 2026; these are counted for that person's ownership percentage but not as outstanding when calculating another person's percentage.

Ethos Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) is providing the below beneficial ownership table to provide updated information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Class A common stock”) and Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Class B common stock”) as of September 30, 2026 (the “Updated Beneficial Ownership Table”) in connection with the December 2026 reconstitution of the Russell indices.

Ownership information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K is calculated pursuant to Rule 403 of Regulation S-K, but eligibility in the Russell indices may be calculated differently and as such, the Company can provide no assurances that the Company’s shares will be included in any indices.

Updated Beneficial Ownership Table

The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock as of September 30, 2026, by: (i) each of the Company’s named executive officers; (ii) each of the Company’s directors; (iii) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group; and (iv) each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on information furnished to the Company by each director, executive officer or stockholder who holds more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, and Schedules 13G and 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he or she possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, and includes options and warrants that are exercisable or restricted stock units (“RSU”) that vest within 60 days of September 30, 2026. Options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are exercisable and RSUs that vest within 60 days of September 30, 2026, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these options and RSUs for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners named in the table below has, to the Company’s knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock listed as beneficially owned by him or her, except for shares owned jointly with that person’s spouse.

The Company has based its calculation of beneficial ownership on (1) 41,714,064 shares of Class A common stock and (2) 23,269,929 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the stockholders in the table below is c/o Ethos Technologies Inc., 90 New Montgomery Street, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA.
