Amendment to MOIC Options
Exhibit 10.21
This Amendment to MOIC Options (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of March 19, 2022 by and between HireRight Holdings Corporation (the “Company”), successor to HireRight GIS Group Holdings, LLC (“HGGH”), and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Optionee”).
1.The Company and Optionee are parties to that certain Equity Incentive Plan Award Agreement dated December 3, 2018 (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which HGGH issued to Optionee options to purchase (i) up to 1,369,401 units of HGGH with vesting based solely on continued service (the “Time-Based Options”), and (ii) up to 1,369,401 units of HGGH with vesting contingent upon attainment of certain specified levels of cash return to the Company’s original investors on their investments in HGGH (the “Performance-Based Options” and together with the Time-Based Options, the “Options”).
2.In October 2021, HGGH converted into the Company, and as a result of the Conversion the Options became options for shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequently the Company implemented a one-for-15.969236 reverse stock split, and as a result, the Options currently cover 171,504 shares of the Company’s common stock, split evenly between the Time-Based Options and the Performance-Based Options.
3.The minimum level of cash return to the Company’s original investors on their investments in HGGH required to commence vesting of the Performance-Based Options has not been attained, and accordingly the Performance-Based Options remain entirely unvested.
4.The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors deems it appropriate for purposes of motivation and retention of Optionee to amend the Performance-Based Options as set forth herein, and Optionee desires such amendment.
Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, the Company and Optionee hereby agree as follows:

3.Section 4(b) Performance-Based Options of the Option Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(2)Tranche 2 Options: The Tranche 2 Options shall become vested in 12 installments, as follows:
