On December 29, 2021, HealthStream, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”) announced in a press release that the Company’s chief executive officer, Robert A. Frist, Jr., has contributed approximately $2.25 million of his personally owned shares of Company common stock to the Company, without any consideration paid to Mr. Frist, for the benefit of over 1,000 HealthStream employees, excluding executives, vice presidents, or associate vice presidents who periodically receive equity grants in the Company's stock incentive plan. The press release also announced that the Company has approved the grant of that same number of shares under its 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan to these employees. It is contemplated that these shares, which will not be subject to any vesting conditions, will be issued on or around December 29, 2021. In addition, the press release announced that Mr. Frist has contributed approximately $185,000 of additional shares to the Company, without any consideration paid to Mr. Frist, which amount is equivalent to the estimated Company costs associated with the equity grants, such as administrative expenses and employer payroll taxes which will be associated with the grants. A copy of the press release making this announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

A copy of the press release announcing the share repurchase program is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
