TO BE HELD ON MAY 24, 2023

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This proxy statement amendment (this “Amendment”) updates and amends our definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2023 regarding the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IRTC2023 on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Except as updated by this Amendment, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and should be considered in casting your vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement. This Amendment, our Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 are available at www.proxyvote.com. From and after the date of this Amendment, all references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as amended by this Amendment. The Proxy Statement contains important information, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.

If you have already voted and would like to change or revoke your vote on any proposal, please refer to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement under “Voting Instructions; Voting of Proxies” for instructions on how to do so.

The primary purpose of this Amendment is to correct certain errors related to disclosure with respect to the potential payment of bonus amounts to our NEOs upon termination during a Change in Control Period in the Proxy Statement section “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” and the grant and/or value of certain PSU awards granted to our NEOs in the Proxy Statement section “2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.” In connection with such corrections, this Amendment also updates footnote 4 to the table in the Proxy Statement section “Equity Compensation Plan Information.”

(1)

Amounts in the “Estimated Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns relate to cash incentive opportunities under our 2022 Annual Bonus Plan based upon the combined achievement of corporate and individual performance goals over fiscal year 2022. The actual amounts paid to our named executive officers are set forth in the “2022 Summary Compensation Table” above, and the calculation of the actual amounts paid is discussed more fully in the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Target Annual Cash Bonus Opportunities.” Because the individual performance multipliers can range from 0-115%, the 2022 Annual Bonus Plan does not have a threshold level of performance.

(2)

Represents the hypothetical payments possible under our NEOs’ respective 2022 PSUs as described in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Individual Compensation Elements-Annual Long-Term (LTI) Awards.” The 2022 PSUs are earned upon achievement of the Corporate Performance Measure. In addition, Mr. Blackford’s 2022 PSU will be further adjusted based on achievement of TSR versus S&P Healthcare Equipment Select Industry Index. For the NEOs other than Mr. Blackford, the threshold, target and maximum column under the header “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” represent achievement at of the Corporate Performance Measure at 72%, 100% and 128%, respectively. For Mr.Blackford’s award, the threshold, target and maximum represent achievement of the Corporate Performance Measure at 72% and the TSR percentile rank at or below 25%; Corporate Performance Measure at 100% and TSR percentile rank at 50%; and Corporate Performance Measure at 128% and TSR percentile rank at or above 75%.

(3)

The values of the stock awards reflect the grant date fair value of stock awards granted under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan during 2022 and are based on the Company’s closing price on the grant date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For a discussion of our valuation assumptions, see Note 1 and Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,206,279 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 ESPP.
