The following proposals will be voted on at the annual meeting:

•

the election of the two Class II director nominees named herein to hold office until our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified;

•

the ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and

•

the approval of the First Amendment to the Inspirato Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing the increase of up to a potential maximum of 540,000 additional Class A shares, issuable only upon the Company’s achievement of certain stock price targets.

As of the date of this proxy statement, our management and board of directors were not aware of any other matters to be presented at the annual meeting.

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote on these proposals?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote your shares:

•

“FOR” the election of each Class II director nominee named in this proxy statement (see “Proposal No. 1”);

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (see “Proposal No. 2”); and

•

“FOR” the approval of the First Amendment to the Inspirato Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing the increase of up to a potential maximum of 540,000 additional Class A shares issuable only upon the Company’s achievement of certain stock price targets (see “Proposal No. 3”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?

Holders of our Class A and Class V common stock as of the close of business on March 27, 2024, the record date for the annual meeting, may vote at the annual meeting. As of the record date, there were 3,676,039 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 2,870,964 shares of our Class V common stock outstanding. Our Class A common stock and Class V common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors. Each share of Class A and Class V common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the annual meeting. Our Class A common stock and Class V common stock are collectively referred to in this proxy statement as our common stock.

Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice of Internet Availability was sent directly to you by us. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote on your own behalf at the annual meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to these holders as “stockholders of record.”

Street Name Stockholders. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice of Internet Availability was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, which is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account by following the instructions that your broker, bank or other nominee sent to you. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to these holders as “street name stockholders.”

Is there a list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting?

A list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be made available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting on May 16, 2024 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Mountain Daylight Time, at our principal executive offices located at 1544 Wazee Street, Denver, Colorado 80202 by contacting our corporate secretary. The list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will also be available online during the annual meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2024, for those stockholders attending the annual meeting.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

•

Proposal No. 1: Each director is elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A plurality means that the nominees with the largest number of “FOR” votes are elected as directors. You may (1) vote “FOR” the election of all of the director nominees named herein, (2) “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for all such director nominees or (3) vote “FOR” the election of all such director nominees other than any nominees with respect to whom the vote is specifically “WITHHELD” by indicating in the space provided on the proxy. Because the outcome of this proposal will be determined by a plurality vote, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee, whether as a result of choosing to “WITHHOLD” authority to vote or a broker non-vote (as described below), will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

•

Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote thereon. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal, or you may indicate that you wish to “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against this proposal, i.e., will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Because this is a “routine matter”, we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Proposal No. 3. The approval of the First Amendment to the Inspirato Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote thereon. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal, or you may indicate that you wish to “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against this proposal, i.e., will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. This Proposal No. 3 is considered a “non-routine matter” and, therefore, Street Name Stockholder nominees do not have authority to vote shares held for their beneficial ownership clients, without their client’s instructions, on this proposal. As a result, any uninstructed shares held in street name by stockholder nominees for their beneficial ownership clients will not be voted at the meeting on this Proposal No. 3, that is, they will be considered “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on this proposal.

What is the quorum requirement for the annual meeting?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present or represented at the annual meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person (including virtually) or by proxy, of a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum to transact business at the annual meeting. Abstentions, choosing to withhold authority to vote and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If there is no quorum, the chairperson of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time or place.

How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines?

Stockholder of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in one of the following ways:

•

by Internet at www.proxyvote.com, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until 9:00 am, Mountain Daylight Time, on May 16, 2024 (have your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card in hand when you visit the website);

•

by toll-free telephone at 1-800-690-6903, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until 11:59 pm, eastern time, on May 15, 2024 (have your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card in hand when you call);

•

by completing, signing and mailing your proxy card (if you received printed proxy materials), which must be received prior to the annual meeting; or

•

by attending the annual meeting virtually by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2024, where you may vote during the meeting (have your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card in hand when you visit the website).

Street Name Stockholders. If you are a street name stockholder, then you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. The availability of Internet and telephone voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. We therefore recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive. If your voting instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy materials indicates that you may vote your shares through the www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2024 website, then you may vote those shares at the annual meeting with the control number indicated on that voting instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy materials. Otherwise, you may not vote your shares at the annual meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted or fail to provide timely directions to my broker, bank or other nominee?

Stockholder of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

•

“FOR” the election of each Class II director nominee named in this proxy statement;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and

•

“FOR” the approval of the First Amendment to the Inspirato Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

In addition, if any other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting, the persons named as proxies will be authorized to vote or otherwise act on those matters in accordance with their judgment.

Street Name Stockholders. Brokers, banks and other nominees holding shares of common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker, bank or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole “routine matter”: the proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (Proposal No. 2). Your broker, bank or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on any other proposals being presented at the annual meeting, which are considered “non-routine matters”, absent direction from you. In the event that your broker, bank or other nominee votes your shares on our sole “routine matter” but is not able to vote your shares on the “non-routine matters”, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to the “non-routine matters”. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your shares are counted on each of the proposals.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Stockholder of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before the annual meeting by:

•

entering a new vote by Internet or telephone (subject to the applicable deadlines for each method as set forth above);

•

completing and returning a later-dated proxy card, which must be received prior to the annual meeting;

•

delivering a written notice of revocation to our corporate secretary at Inspirato Incorporated, 1544 Wazee Street, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attention: Corporate Secretary, which must be received prior to the annual meeting; or

•

attending and voting at the annual meeting (although attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

Street Name Stockholders. If you are a street name stockholder, then your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change or revoke your proxy.

What do I need to do to attend the annual meeting?

We will be hosting the annual meeting via live audio webcast only.

Stockholder of Record. If you were a stockholder of record as of the record date, then you may attend the annual meeting virtually, and will be able to submit your questions during the meeting and vote your shares electronically during the meeting by visiting www.proxyvote.com. To attend and participate in the annual meeting, you will need the control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card. The annual meeting live audio webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 am, Mountain Daylight Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 8:30 am, Mountain Daylight Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Street Name Stockholders. If you were a street name stockholder as of the record date and your voting instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy materials indicates that you may vote your shares through the www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2024 website, then you may access and participate in the annual meeting with the control number indicated on that voting instruction form or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

notice of internet availability of proxy materials. Otherwise, street name stockholders should contact their bank, broker or other nominee and obtain a legal proxy in order to be able to attend and participate in the annual meeting.

How can I get help if I have trouble checking in or listening to the annual meeting online?

If you encounter difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log-in page.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. Brent Wadman, our Secretary and General Counsel, has been designated as proxy holder for the annual meeting by our board of directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If the proxy is dated and signed, but no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors on the proposals as described above. If any other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting, then the proxy holder will use the proxy holder’s own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, then the proxy holder can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of election.

How can I contact Inspirato’s transfer agent?

You may contact our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., by telephone at 800-736-3001, or by writing Computershare Investor Services PO Box 43006 Providence, RI, 02940-3006. You may also access instructions with respect to certain stockholder matters (e.g., change of address) via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor.

How are proxies solicited for the annual meeting and who is paying for such solicitation?

Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for use at the annual meeting by means of the proxy materials. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers, banks, and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such brokers, banks, or other nominees. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, electronic communications or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation.

Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting?

We will disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, within four business days after the meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K, we will file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

Are there any appraisal rights with respect to the items to be discussed at the annual meeting?

No action is proposed at this meeting for which section 262 of the DGCL or our bylaws provide a right of appraisal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the SEC we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, primarily via the Internet. As a result, we are mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the Internet, how to vote on the proposals, how to request printed copies of the proxy materials and our annual report, and how to request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce our costs and the environmental impact of our annual meetings.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials?

If you receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials, then your shares may be registered in more than one name and/or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice of Internet Availability or each set of printed proxy materials, as applicable, to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report. How may I obtain an additional copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding,” under which we can deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report, as applicable, you may contact us as follows:

Director Independence

Our Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq. As a company listed on Nasdaq, we are required under Nasdaq listing rules to maintain a board comprised of a majority of independent directors as determined affirmatively by our board. Under Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an independent director if, in the opinion of that listed company’s board of directors, the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Nasdaq listing rules applicable to audit committee members. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional

TABLE OF CONTENTS

independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing rules applicable to compensation committee members.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each of our directors. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Ms. Payne and Messrs. Armstrong, Berman, and Melicharek, representing four of our seven directors, do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is an “independent director” as defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Eric Grosse is not considered an independent director because he is our Chief Executive Officer. Brent Handler is not considered an independent director because he was our Chief Executive Officer up until September 2023. Brad Handler is not considered an independent director because he is our Executive Chairman.

In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Related Person Transactions.”

Brent Handler and Brad Handler are brothers and co-founded Inspirato.

Board Leadership Structure

Our corporate governance framework provides our board flexibility to determine the appropriate leadership structure for the company, and whether the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer should be separated or combined. In making this determination, our board considers many factors, including the needs of the business, our board’s assessment of its leadership needs from time to time and the best interests of our stockholders. If the role of chairperson is filled by a director who does not qualify as an independent director, then our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors will serve as our lead independent director.

Our board believes that it is currently appropriate to separate the roles of Executive Chairman and chief executive officer and to have a lead independent director. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for day-to-day leadership, while our chairperson, along with the rest of our independent directors, ensures that our board’s time and attention is focused on providing independent oversight of management and matters critical to our company. Ann Payne serves as our lead independent director. The board believes that her deep knowledge of the company, industry, and finance, as well as strong leadership and governance experience, enable Ann Payne to lead our board effectively and independently.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, cyber security, business and operational, legal and compliance and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Our board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of discussions, question and answer sessions, and reports from the management team at each regular board meeting, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular board meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

With respect to cyber security risk oversight, we have a cross-functional management team to participate in our Cybersecurity Risk Committee, which is comprised of Legal, Cybersecurity Operations, Risk Management, Finance and Accounting, and Information Technology. The Cybersecurity Risk Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board, covering current and future planned processes in pace to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate any cybersecurity incidents. For more information on our cybersecurity risk oversight, please refer to Item 1C, “Cybersecurity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, our board has tasked designated standing committees with oversight of certain categories of risk management. Our audit committee assists our board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and legal and regulatory compliance. The audit committee also, among other things, discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Our compensation committee assesses risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, and whether our compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk taking. Our nominating and corporate governance committee assesses risks relating to our corporate governance practices, the independence of the board and potential conflicts of interest.

Our board of directors believes its current leadership structure supports the risk oversight function of the board.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at the annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, directors to attend.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating potential director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the current directors eligible for re-election, our nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the current size and composition of our board of directors and the needs of our board of directors and the respective committees of our board of directors and other director qualifications. While our board has not established minimum qualifications for board members, some of the factors that our nominating and corporate governance committee considers in assessing director nominee qualifications include, without limitation, issues of character, professional ethics and integrity, judgment, business experience and diversity, and with respect to diversity, such factors as race, ethnicity, gender, differences in professional background, age, and geography, as well as other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on our board. Although our board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our board of directors believes that the board should be a diverse body, and the nominating and corporate governance committee considers a broad range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.

If our nominating and corporate governance committee determines that an additional or replacement director is required, then the committee may take such measures as it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the committee, board, or management.

After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to our full board of directors the director nominees for selection. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors and our board of directors has the final authority in determining the selection of director candidates for nomination to our board.

Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations to our Board of Directors

Our nominating and corporate governance committee will consider recommendations and nominations for candidates to our board of directors from stockholders in the same manner as candidates recommended to the committee from other sources, so long as such recommendations and nominations comply with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, all applicable company policies and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our bylaws and corporate governance guidelines and the director nominee criteria described above.

Director Compensation

Our “Outside Director Compensation Policy” provides the compensation program for our non-employee directors. The Outside Director Compensation Policy was developed with input from an independent compensation consultant regarding practices and compensation levels at comparable companies. It is designed to attract, retain, and reward non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, we provide the following compensation to our non-employee directors:

Cash Compensation

Each non-employee director will be paid, (i) a cash retainer of $40,000 per year, (ii) additional committee and chair fees depending on the individual’s assignments, and (ii) the choice between one subscription to Inspirato Pass with an aggregate value of $26,500 per year or the equivalent amount in travel credits useable at Inspirato. There are no per meeting attendance fees for attending board meetings or meetings of any committee of our board of directors.

Equity Compensation

On the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of our Class A common stock that will be subject to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and on the first trading day following each annual meeting of our stockholders following the effective date of the Outside Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director automatically will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (an “Annual Award”) covering a number of shares of Class A common stock having a value of $150,000; provided that the first Annual Award granted to an individual who first becomes a non-employee director following the effective date of the Outside Director Compensation Policy will have a value equal to the product of (A) $150,000 multiplied by (B) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of fully completed days between the Initial Start Date (as defined in the Outside Director Compensation Policy) and the date of the first annual meeting of our stockholders to occur after such individual first becomes a non-employee director, and (ii) the denominator of which is 365; and provided further that any resulting fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Annual Award will be scheduled to vest in full on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders following the grant date, in each case subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a non-employee director through the applicable vesting date.

Director Compensation for Fiscal 2023

The following table sets forth information regarding the total compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our nonemployee directors for their service on our board of directors, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Directors who are also our employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors. During 2023, Messrs. Brad and Brent Handler were employees and/or executive officers of the company and therefore, did not receive compensation as directors. Mr. Grosse was a non-employee director for part of 2023 and therefore, received compensation as a director for that portion. See “Executive Compensation” for additional information regarding Mr. Grosse’s employee compensation and “Related Person Transaction” for additional information regarding Messrs. Brad and Brent Handler’s compensation.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee has recommended, and our board of directors has approved, Ann Payne and Michael Armstrong as nominees for election as Class II directors at the annual meeting. If elected, each of Ms. Payne and Mr. Armstrong will serve as a Class II director until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. For more information concerning the nominees, please see the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”

Ms. Payne and Mr. Armstrong have agreed to serve as directors if elected, and management has no reason to believe that they will be unavailable to serve. In the event a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the annual meeting, proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the present board of directors to fill the vacancy.

Vote Required

Each director is elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Because the outcome of this proposal will be determined by a plurality vote, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee, whether as a result of choosing to “WITHHOLD” authority to vote or a broker non-vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

Board Recommendation

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

Vote Required

The ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee is a committee of the board of directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by Nasdaq listing rules and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. This written charter is reviewed annually for changes, as appropriate. With respect to Inspirato’s financial reporting process, Inspirato’s management is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing Inspirato’s consolidated financial statements. Inspirato’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), is responsible for performing an independent audit of Inspirato Incorporated’s (“Inspirato”) consolidated financial statements. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare Inspirato’s financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:

•

reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management and BDO;

•

discussed with BDO the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, and the SEC; and

•

received the written disclosures and the letter from BDO required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with BDO its independence.

Based on the review and discussions noted above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Inspirato’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the board of directors:

Ann Payne (Chairperson)
Scott Berman
Michael Armstrong

This audit committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A promulgated by the SEC or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing by Inspirato under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent Inspirato specifically requests that the information be treated as “soliciting material” or specifically incorporates it by reference.

PROPOSAL NO. 3:

APPROVAL OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT

TO THE INSPIRATO INCORPORATED 2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

General

The Inspirato Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders of Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation, the predecessor to Inspirato Incorporated. The Plan is designed to reflect our commitment to fair and competitive compensation while maintaining stockholders’ interests.

Much of our future success and growth as a company depends on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified, high-performing employees and our stock-based compensation program is critical to this workforce development strategy. Equity compensation is a very effective incentive and retention tool that encourages and rewards employee performance that aligns with stockholders’ interests. This is especially important for Inspirato in 2024 while the Company is in the process of building its structure for the future.

With that as background, in February 2024, our Compensation Committee approved performance-based equity grants (the “2024 PSU Awards”) which are earned based on our stock price performance in 2024 and which vest ratably over 4 years, with 25% vesting in February 2026 and the remainder vesting in quarterly increments thereafter. The following table reflects the aggregate number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock that could be issued under the 2024 PSU Awards should the Company achieve the stock price targets below within the 2024 calendar year. Stock price targets are measured based on the average price of our Class A Common Stock achieved over a 30 consecutive trading day period in 2024.

Stock Price			$6						$8						$20						$50						$100
Additional Shares Authorized and Issued					160,500						214,000						321,000						428,000						540,000

Prior to the grant date of an 2024 PSU Awards, there will only be approximately 315,000 shares of Class A Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan. The Committee therefore determined to make the 2024 PSU Awards contingent on stockholder approval of an amendment to the Plan that increases the Plan’s share reserve to cover the shares that may be delivered under the 2024 PSU Awards.

Material Amendments

To effectuate the 2024 PSU Awards, the Company is asking its stockholders to approve the First Amendment to the Plan, which (1) will increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 540,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is the maximum number of shares potentially issuable under the 2024 PSU Awards, and (2) will modify the Plan’s share counting provisions to provide that shares covered by 2024 PSU Awards that are not earned, that fail to vest, or that are otherwise forfeited are not made available for future issuance under the Plan, thus ensuring that no more than the actual number of Shares earned and vested under the 2024 PSU Awards are added to the Plan’s share reserve.

The Company believes strongly that the 2024 PSU Awards and the adoption of the First Amendment to the Plan are crucial to our ability to retain the top-level talent necessary to position the Company for future success. In determining the size and design of the 2024 PSU Awards, the Compensation Committee, with input from management and its independent compensation consultant, considered: (1) competitive data from relevant peer companies; (2) the current and future accounting expense associated with Inspirato’s equity award practices; (3) input from stockholders; and (4) the standards of stockholder advisory firms.

Description of the Company 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as Amended

The following paragraphs provide a summary of the principal features of the Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, and its operation. However, this summary is not a complete description of all of the provisions of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the Plan, as amended. The First Amendment to the Plan and a conformed copy of the Plan incorporating the First Amendment are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Purposes of the 2021 Plan

The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain personnel for positions with the Company, any parent or subsidiary, and any entity that is in control of, is controlled by or is under common control with

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company (such entities are referred to herein as the company group); to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, and consultants; and to promote the success of the Company’s business.

These incentives will be provided through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards as the administrator of the Plan may determine.

Eligibility

The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to the Company’s employees and any parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to employees, directors and consultants of the Combined Company and the company group. As of March 27, 2024, the Company has 4 non-employee directors, and approximately 625 employees (including employee directors) eligible to participate in the Plan.

Authorized Shares

Subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan and the evergreen provision described below, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan is (i) 795,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, plus (ii) any shares of subject to stock options other awards that were assumed in the Business Combination and expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the Plan pursuant to clause (ii) equal to 373,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, plus (iii) an additional 540,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2024 PSU Awards.

The Plan also includes an evergreen provision that provides for an automatic annual increase to the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year, equal to the least of:

•

995,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock;

•

5% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year; and

•

such lesser amount determined by the administrator.

The Plan provides that the evergreen provision will operate only until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of the Company’s Board or the original stockholder approval of the Plan.

Generally, if an award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered under an exchange program described below, or, with respect to restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance awards, is forfeited to or reacquired by us due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than options or stock appreciation rights, the forfeited or repurchased shares) that were subject to such awards will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless it has terminated). Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares covered by 2024 PSU Awards that are not earned, don’t vest, or are otherwise forfeited are not available future grant or sale under the Plan. With respect to stock appreciation rights, only shares actually issued will cease to be available. Shares that actually have been issued under the Plan under any award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award will become available for future grant or sale. To the extent an award is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance.

If any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of shares or other

TABLE OF CONTENTS

securities of the Company, other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares, or any similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any of its successors) affecting the shares occurs (including a change in control of the Company), the administrator, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits contained in the Plan.

Plan Administration

The Company’s Board or a committee appointed by the Company’s Board will administer the Plan and are referred to as the administrator. Different administrators may administer the Plan with respect to different groups of service providers. The Company’s Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan and revoke the delegation of some or all authority previously delegated.

Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable laws, the administrator generally will have the power, in its sole discretion, to make any determinations and perform any actions deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The administrator will have the power to administer the Plan, including but not limited to the power to construe and interpret the Plan and awards granted under the Plan, and determine the terms of awards, including but not limited to the exercise price (if any), the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subject to each award, the time when awards may vest or be exercised (including the ability to accelerate the vesting and exercisability of awards), and the form of consideration payable upon exercise, if applicable. The administrator may select the service providers to whom awards may be granted and approve forms of awards agreements under the Plan. The administrator will also have the authority to amend awards (including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of awards and to extend the maximum term of an option) and to temporarily suspend the exercisability of an award if the administrator deems such suspension to be necessary or appropriate for administrative purposes, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The administrator may institute and determine the terms and conditions of an exchange program under which (i) outstanding awards are surrendered or cancelled in exchange for awards of the same type (which may have higher or lower exercise prices and different terms), awards of a different type, and/or cash, (ii) participants have the opportunity to transfer any outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator, and/or (iii) the exercise price of an outstanding award is increased or reduced. Unless a participant is on an approved leave of absence, the administrator will have sole discretion to determine the date on which a participant stops actively providing services to the Company or the company group. The administrator’s decisions, determinations, and interpretations are final and binding on all participants and any other holders of awards.

Stock Options

Options may be granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the administrator will determine the terms and conditions of options, including when such options vest and become exercisable (and the administrator will have the discretion to accelerate the time at which such options will vest or become exercisable). The per share exercise price of any option generally must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant, and the term of an incentive stock option may not be more than 10 years. However, with respect to any incentive stock option granted to an individual who owns 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations, the term of such option must not exceed 5 years, and the per share exercise price of such incentive stock option must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share on the grant date. As of March 27, 2024, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $3.97 per share. After a participant’s service terminates, he or she generally may exercise the vested portion of his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. In no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term, except in certain circumstances where the expiration occurs during a period where exercise is not permitted under applicable law, as described more fully in the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the administrator will determine the other terms of options, including but not limited to the acceptable forms of consideration for exercising an option.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock appreciation rights may be granted under the Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the administrator will determine the terms and conditions of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights vest and become exercisable (and the administrator will have the discretion to accelerate the time at which such rights will vest or become exercisable) and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash, shares, or a combination of both. The per share exercise price of a stock appreciation right must be at least 100% of the fair market value a share on the date of grant with respect to U.S. taxpayers, and the term of a stock appreciation right will be 10 years. After a participant’s service terminates, he or she generally may exercise the vested portion of his or her stock appreciation right for the period of time stated in his or her stock appreciation rights agreement. However, in no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of its term, except in certain circumstances where the expiration occurs during a period where exercise is not permitted under applicable law, as described more fully in the Plan.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock may be granted under the Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant. The administrator may impose prior to grant whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to us or members of the company group), and the administrator will have the discretion to accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed at any time. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting but will not have dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to the restriction, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock as to which the restrictions have not lapsed are subject to our right of repurchase or forfeiture.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units may be granted under the Plan. Restricted stock units are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one Share. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of restricted stock units including the vesting criteria (which may include accomplishing specified performance criteria or continued service to us) and the form and timing of payment. The administrator will have the discretion to accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed and to settle earned restricted stock units in cash, shares, or a combination of both.

Performance Awards

Performance awards may be granted under the Plan. Performance awards are awards that result in a payment to a participant only if objectives established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish organizational or individual performance objectives in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value of the payout for the performance awards to be paid out to participants. The administrator will have the discretion to reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for performance awards. Performance awards will have a threshold, target, and maximum payout value established by the administrator on or before to the grant date. The administrator will have the discretion to pay earned performance awards in the form of cash, shares, or in some combination of both.

Non-Employee Directors

The Plan provides that any non-employee director, in any fiscal year, may not be paid, issued or granted cash retainer fees and equity awards (including awards under the Plan) with an aggregate value of more than $750,000, increased to $1,500,000 in connection with the non-employee director’s initial service, with the value of each equity award based on its grant date fair value. For purposes of this limitation, the grant date fair value is determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Any cash compensation or equity awards granted under the Plan to a non-employee director for his or her services as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

an employee, or for his or her services as a consultant (other than as a non-employee director), will not count for purposes of the limitation. The maximum limit does not reflect the intended size of any potential compensation or equity awards to our non-employee directors.

Non-Transferability of Awards

Unless the administrator provides otherwise, the Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or disposal of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime. Any unauthorized transfer will be void.

Dissolution or Liquidation

If there is a proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the administrator will notify participants at such time before the effective date of such event as the administrator determines and all awards, to the extent that they have not been previously exercised, will terminate immediately before the consummation of such event.

Merger or Change in Control

The Plan provides that if there is a merger or a “change in control” (as defined under the Plan) of the Company, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines (subject to the following paragraph) without a participant’s consent, including that an award be continued by the successor corporation or that vesting of awards may accelerate automatically upon consummation of the transaction. The administrator will not be required to treat all awards, portions of awards or participants similarly and may modify awards, subject to the provisions of the Plan.

If the successor corporation does not continue an award (or some portion of such award), the participant will fully vest in (and have the right to exercise) 100% of then-unvested shares subject to his or her outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, all restrictions on 100% of the participant’s outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units will lapse, and, regarding 100% of participant’s outstanding awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be treated as achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In no event will vesting of an award accelerate as to more than 100% of the award. If options or stock appreciation rights are not continued when a change in control or a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity occurs, the administrator will notify the participant in writing or electronically that the participant’s vested options or stock appreciation rights (after considering the foregoing vesting acceleration, if any) will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the administrator in its sole discretion and all of the participant’s options or stock appreciation rights will terminate upon the expiration of such period (whether vested or unvested).

With respect to awards held by a non-employee director, in the event of a change in control, the non-employee director will fully vest in and have the right to exercise his or her options and/or stock appreciation rights, all restrictions on his or her restricted stock and restricted stock units will lapse, and, with respect to awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable award agreement or other written agreement with the participant.

Forfeiture and Clawback

All awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment under any clawback policy that we are required to adopt under applicable law or listing standards. In addition, the administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an award agreement as the administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including without limitation to any reacquisition right regarding previously acquired shares or other cash or property. In addition, the administrator may provide in an award agreement that the recipient’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to such award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an award.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment or Termination

The Plan was effective on February 11, 2022, and will continue in effect until terminated by the administrator, but (i) no incentive stock options may be granted after February 11, 2032 (ii) the Plan’s automatic share reserve increase (as described below) will operate only until February 11, 2032. In addition, the Company’s Board will have the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, but such action generally may not materially impair the rights of any participant without his or her written consent.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary is intended only as a general guide to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan. The summary is based on existing U.S. laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that those laws and regulations will not change in the future. The summary does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the tax consequences upon a participant’s death, or the provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which the participant may reside. As a result, tax consequences for any particular participant may vary based on individual circumstances.

Incentive Stock Options

A participant recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an option that qualifies as incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. If a participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the shares acquired through the exercise the option after both the two-year anniversary of the date the option was granted and the one-year anniversary of the exercise, the participant will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price of the shares and the exercise price, and we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes.

However, if the participant disposes of such shares either on or before the two-year anniversary of the date of grant or on or before the one-year anniversary of the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), any gain up to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price generally will be taxed as ordinary income, unless the shares are disposed of in a transaction in which the participant would not recognize a gain (such as a gift). Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the participant upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally should be deductible by us for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date is treated as an adjustment item in computing the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income in the year of exercise. In addition, special alternative minimum tax rules may apply to certain subsequent disqualifying dispositions of the shares or provide certain basis adjustments or tax credits for purposes.

Nonstatutory Stock Options

A participant generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. However, upon exercising the option, the participant normally recognizes ordinary income equal to the amount that the fair market value of the shares on such date exceeds the exercise price. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of the shares acquired by the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any gain or loss (based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date) will be taxed as capital gain or loss. No tax deduction is available to us with respect to the grant of a nonstatutory stock option or the sale of the shares acquired through the exercise of the nonstatutory stock option.

Stock Appreciation Rights

In general, no taxable income is reportable when a stock appreciation right is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market

TABLE OF CONTENTS

value of any shares received. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be capital gain or loss.

Restricted Stock Awards

A participant acquiring shares of restricted stock generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to accelerate the ordinary income tax event to the date of acquisition by filing an election with the IRS no later than thirty days after the date the shares are acquired. Upon the sale of shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the ordinary income tax event occurs, will be taxed as capital gain or loss.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of restricted stock units. A participant who is awarded restricted stock units generally will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the cash received or the fair market value of shares issued to such participant at the end of the applicable vesting period or, if later, the settlement date elected by the administrator or a participant. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of any shares received would be capital gain or loss.

Performance Awards

A participant generally will recognize no income upon the grant of a performance award. Upon the settlement of such awards, participants normally will recognize ordinary income in the year of receipt in an amount equal to the cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted shares received. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the date the ordinary income tax event occurs, will be taxed as capital gain or loss.

Section 409A

Section 409A of the Code provides certain requirements for non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements with respect to an individual’s deferral and distribution elections and permissible distribution events. Awards granted under the 2021 Plan with a deferral feature will be subject to the requirements of Section 409A. If an award is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award, to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is actually received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with Section 409A’s provisions, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% federal income tax on compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such deferred compensation.

Tax Effect for the Company

The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option) except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code. Special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our chief executive officer and certain “covered employees” as determined under Section 162(m) and applicable guidance. Under Section 162(m), the annual compensation paid to any of these specified individuals will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As a result, we rely on exemptions from certain of the disclosure requirements that are applicable to companies that are not emerging growth companies. Accordingly, we have included compensation information only for those individuals who served as our principal executive officer any time during the fiscal year, for our two next most highly compensated executive officers serving at fiscal year-end, and for one additional individual who would have been among our two most highly compensated executive officers serving at fiscal year-end had he not terminated his employment mid-year. We have not included a compensation discussion and analysis of our executive compensation programs or tabular compensation information other than the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2023 and the Outstanding Equity Awards table. In addition, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to submit certain executive compensation matters to our stockholders for advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency” of say-on-pay votes.

Our named executive officers for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, were:

•

Eric Grosse, our Chief Executive Officer;

•

Brent Handler, our Former Chief Executive Officer;

•

Robert Kaiden, our Chief Financial Officer;

•

R. Webster Neighbor, our Former Chief Financial Officer; and,

David Kallery, our President.

In June 2021, we approved a transaction whereby Brent Handler, our former Chief Executive Officer and director, and Brad Handler, our Executive Chairman and director, each agreed to acquire a condominium from a third-party developer in Charleston, South Carolina and agreed to lease these condominiums to us. Construction of the properties is expected to be completed in 2024 and upon issuance of the certificates of occupancy, Brent and Brad Handler have agreed to purchase the properties. We have entered into lease agreements with each of Brad and Brent Handler on terms substantially similar to other landlords on our standard lease. Monthly payments under the lease agreements are expected to be approximately $13,000 for each property. We expect to make monthly payments of approximately $2,500 and $2,400 to Brent Handler and Brad Handler, respectively, through the construction completion date, but not to exceed 36 months, to offset upfront investment costs. Such monthly amounts were computed at 5.5% of the 20% upfront deposit to be paid annually.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements and offer letter agreements with certain of our executive officers. See the section entitled “Executive Compensation — Employment Arrangements” and the following description of our employment agreements with Brad Handler.

In September 2021, we entered into an employment agreement with Brad Handler as Executive Chairman that provides for an annual base salary, eligibility to receive an annual target bonus, eligibility to participate in employee benefit or group insurance plans maintained from time to time by us, and certain travel benefits with us on terms consistent with those that have been in place since 2014. In 2022, Mr. Handler was paid $248,878 of salary and a bonus of $100,000 for performance in 2021. In 2023 Mr. Handler was paid $257,500 of salary and a bonus of $59,579 for performance in 2022. Additionally, Mr. Handler’s employment agreement provides for an initial grant of restricted stock units in 2022 with a number of shares determined to have a value of $6,250,000 based on the then-current price of Class A common stock, vesting in sixteen equal quarterly installments, and that Mr. Handler will be considered for annual equity awards in each subsequent year. The agreement further provides that the size and structure of any annual equity award granted to Mr. Handler will be established at the time of grant by our compensation committee, and, unless determined otherwise at the time of grant by our compensation committee, the service-based portion of any annual equity award granted to Mr. Handler will vest in sixteen equal quarterly installments Mr. Handler’s base annual salary is $257,500 and his annual target bonus is 37.5% of his base annual salary.

Under the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Handler’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Handler for good reason (as such terms are defined in Mr. Handler’s employment agreement), then Mr. Handler will become eligible to receive the following benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release of claims in our favor and complies with his continuing restrictive covenant obligations:

•

subject to Mr. Handler’s co-payment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and Mr. Handler’s proper election to receive benefits under COBRA, we will pay to the group health plan provider, the COBRA provider or Mr. Handler a monthly payment, for up to 24 months, equal to the monthly employer contribution that Inspirato would have made to provide health insurance to Mr. Handler if Mr. Handler had remained employed by Inspirato during such period; and

•

the post-termination exercise period for any stock options will be extended for up to two and one-half years after the termination of employment, and (i) 100% accelerated vesting and exercisability (as applicable) of all outstanding time-based equity awards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require that we will indemnify each of our directors, executive officers, and other key employees against any and all expenses incurred by such director, executive officer, or other key employee because of his or her status as one of our directors, executive officers, or other key employees, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws. In addition, the indemnification agreements will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, we will advance all expenses incurred by our directors, executive officers, and other key employees in connection with a legal proceeding involving his or her status as a director, executive officer, or key employee.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

We have adopted a formal, written policy regarding related person transactions. This written policy regarding related person transactions provides that a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we are a participant and in which a related person has, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest and in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000. For purposes of this policy, a related person means any of our executive officers and directors (including director nominees), in each case at any time since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, any of the foregoing persons.

Our audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving, ratifying or disapproving related person transactions. In determining whether to approve, ratify or disapprove any such transaction, our audit committee will consider, among other factors, whether the transaction would affect the independence of any director and is on terms that reflect an arms-length transaction as well as the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

The policy grants standing pre-approval of certain transactions, including (1) certain compensation arrangements for our directors or executive officers, (2) transactions with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as a non-executive employee, director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, (3) charitable contributions by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related person’s only relationship is as a non-executive employee or director, provided that the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $200,000 or 5% of such organization’s total annual receipts, (4) transactions where a related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis and (5) any transaction available to all U.S. employees generally. In addition to our policy, our audit committee charter provides that our audit committee shall review and approve or disapprove any related person transactions.
