EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amendment to the proxy statement of OPKO Health, Inc. filed on February 29, 2024 (the "Proxy Statement") amends the Pay Versus Performance section of the Proxy Statement solely for the purpose of including the required Inline XBRL tagging, as the Proxy Statement inadvertently did not have complete XBRL tagging. There are no other changes to the Pay Versus Performance section or any other portion of the Proxy Statement.

Pay Versus Performance

The disclosure provided in this section is required by the SEC and does not necessarily align with the Company's view of the relationship between its performance and the compensation of its Named Executive Officers. We believe our discussion in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" properly outlines how we view our executive compensation structure and how that aligns with the Company's performance and objectives.

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table shows the total compensation for our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table (the "SCT") of this proxy statement and in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 1, 2023, the "compensation actually paid," as computed in accordance with Items 402(v) of Regulation S-K (the "CAP"), to our CEO, and, on an average basis, the compensation actually paid to our other Named Executive Officers (the "other NEOs"), our total shareholder return ("TSR"), the TSR of the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, which constitutes the "Peer Group", our net income, and our revenue, which is our company selected financial measure, all measures over the same time period.

For purposes of the chart below, Drs. Hsiao and Zerhouni and Messrs. Rubin and Logal are the other NEOs for fiscal 2023. Drs. Hsiao and Cohen and Messrs. Rubin and Logal are the other NEOs for fiscal 2022. Dr. Zerhouni's compensation is also taken into consideration in the compensation of our other NEOs with respect to a portion of fiscal 2022; and Drs. Hsiao and Cohen and Messrs. Rubin and Logal are the other NEOs for fiscal 2021 and 2020.

(1)For fiscal 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, Dr. Phillip Frost was the CEO.

(2)These amounts reflect (i) the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year in the case of our CEO; and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year for our other NEOs. See the footnotes to the SCT for further detail regarding the amounts in this column.

(3)Amounts reported in these columns represent CAP, which was computed by making certain adjustments to the amounts reported in the SCT for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for our CEO and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth in the following tables, which describe the adjustments. The increase in CAP for 2023 was driven primarily by a stock option grant to the CEO and NEOs.

(4)Reflects the cumulative TSR for the Company and the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index, which is the same industry index included in Part II, Item 5, "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities," furnished in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024, assuming, in each case, an initial investment of \$100 on December 31, 2019.

(5)Reflects "Net Income" in the Company's consolidated statement of operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

(6)SEC rules require us to designate a "company-selected measure" that in our assessment represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table immediately above) used by the Company to link the CAP of our Named Executive Officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance. We selected revenue as this measure for fiscal 2023, as reflected in the table above. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020,and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

The fair value of options was determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.

Financial Performance Measures. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company in setting pay-forperformance compensation for fiscal 2023 are set forth below, in no particular order.

-Adjusted Operating Income

-Revenue

-Relative Total Shareholder Return

Relationship Between "Compensation Actually Paid" and Performance Measures. The charts below compare the CAP to our CEO and the average CAP to our other NEOs with (i) our TSR, (ii) our net income, (iii) revenue, which is our company selected measure, for fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021. In addition, the charts below compare our TSR with our Peer Group TSR. We believe the CAP in each of the years reported above aligns with the performance metrics presented. For example, the CAP to the CEO and average CAP to our other NEOs in fiscal 2023 was positive as our TSR improved, and we reported a smaller decline in net income during that period. The increase in CAP for 2023 was driven primarily by a stock option grant to the CEO and NEOs.

Non-Financial Performance Measures. The Company also considered the success, failure or progress made with respect to its R&D pipeline in setting pay-for performance compensation for fiscal 2023.
