Employee Note

SUBJECT: WageWorks Accepts Proposal to be Acquired by HealthEquity

Since our last communication in April, WageWorks’ Board of Directors has carefully reviewed the unsolicited proposal we received from HealthEquity, Inc. Our Board – acting with a strong commitment to create value for our stockholders, customers and employees – has voted to accept an improved offer from HealthEquity and enter into a transaction under which WageWorks will be acquired by HealthEquity.

I want to provide you with some insight and clarity around how we got here, and also why we think this is exciting and the right path forward for the company and for all of you. This is an opportunity we did not solicit but needed to evaluate against our priorities. During the review process, our Board took careful consideration, not only as to whether the proposal fairly values our company and our future prospects, but also to ensure the acquisition makes sense from a cultural perspective. We wanted to make sure this was the right step for our customers, our partners and our employees. We also took a thoughtful look at the industry and our position in it. After many discussions, negotiations and meetings with the HealthEquity team, we believe this transaction gives us the greatest opportunity to fulfill our mission and do our very best work.

As an industry leader, we are focused on expanding our reach to ensure as many Americans as possible can access our products and gain power over their physical and financial health. We have accomplished this through strategies like our Plan to Win, investments in our technology and service, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships. And now, by joining forces with HealthEquity we will be able to achieve this vision even faster.

The acquisition of WageWorks by HealthEquity will be transformative in our industry and will amplify our impact with everyone from clients and brokers to policymakers in Washington. Together, we can drive growth, realize new efficiencies through scale, and create innovative solutions for our customers.

I’m extremely proud of everything we’ve accomplished as we have worked to rebuild WageWorks and emerge stronger than ever. Thanks to your dedication, we are prepared to file our first quarter 2019 results after the close of trading today, bringing us current with all of our financial filings. This enables us to then promptly file the required paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reopen the equity incentive plan.

HealthEquity’s interest in our company is a testament to you – our outstanding employees – and the unmatched service you provide our customers each day. It’s also proof of the exceptional value we deliver and the strength of our offering in the market.

I know you have many questions, and you’re likely wondering what’s next. There are several steps we must take before the transaction can close by the end of the calendar year, including securing regulatory approval and stockholder approval. In the coming weeks, we will form a team to plan for integration consisting of members from both WageWorks and HealthEquity, but for now, it is business as usual and we will continue to operate as an independent company. It is absolutely critical we maintain our focus on serving our clients and moving our business forward. While our long-term plans may change over time, our fundamental goals remain unchanged.


Our leadership team and I will do our very best to create clarity throughout this process, but I ask for your patience as we navigate this journey. The plan to integrate our businesses will be a significant undertaking, and the pace will likely change at different stages in the process. In the weeks ahead, leaders from both companies will come together to collaborate and assess how we will approach this work.

Please know how grateful I am for your heartfelt dedication to our clients and our mission. It’s been a privilege to be part of this team for more than a dozen years, and I’m constantly reminded that WageWorks is a very special place. I know we will carry this spirit forward into our next chapter together.

Sincerely,

Edgar Montes

Participants in the Solicitation

WageWorks and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from WageWorks’ stockholders with respect to the proposed transaction. Information about WageWorks’ directors and executive officers and their ownership of WageWorks’ common stock is set forth in WageWorks’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on May 30, 2019.

Leader Talking Points

 

   

As you know, today we announced an agreement under which WageWorks will be acquired by HealthEquity. This announcement follows WageWorks’ receipt of an unsolicited proposal in April from HealthEquity to acquire our company.

 

   

Our Board of Directors, in line with its fiduciary duties, carefully reviewed HealthEquity’s proposal with the assistance of its legal and financial advisors.

 

   

Acting with a strong commitment to create value for our stockholders, customers and employees, the Board has voted to accept an improved offer from HealthEquity and enter into this transaction.

 

   

As an industry leader, we are focused on expanding our reach to ensure as many Americans as possible can access our products and gain power over their physical and financial health.

 

   

Joining forces with HealthEquity will enable us to achieve this vision even faster.

 

   

The acquisition of WageWorks by HealthEquity will be transformative in our industry and will amplify our impact with everyone from clients and brokers to policymakers in Washington.

 

   

Together, we can drive growth, realize new efficiencies through scale, and create innovative solutions for our customers.

 

   

HealthEquity expects the transaction to close by the end of the calendar year.

 

   

HealthEquity is acquiring all outstanding shares of WageWorks common stock for $51.35 per share.

 

   

Let me explain what this means for employees who own stock:

 

   

If a WageWorks employee owns stock options with an exercise price less than $51.35, he or she will receive a cash payment in an amount equal to $51.35 less the applicable per share exercise price; all stock options will terminate on the closing.

 

   

If a WageWorks employee owns time-based RSUs granted before the signing of the merger agreement, the RSUs will convert into the right to receive $51.35 per share, less applicable tax withholding, for each unit subject to the award. If a WageWorks employee owns performance-based RSUs granted before the signing of the merger agreement, the target number of RSUs will convert into the right to receive $51.35 per share, less applicable withholding, for each target unit subject to the award.

 

   

If a WageWorks employee receives time-based RSUs granted after the signing of the merger agreement, the RSUs will be assumed and converted into a number of HealthEquity RSUs on the same terms (including vesting), plus an additional 12 months of vesting acceleration in the event the employee is involuntarily terminated other than for cause within 12 months following the closing.


   

We should be extremely proud of everything we’ve accomplished as we have worked to rebuild WageWorks and emerge stronger than ever. Thanks to your dedication, we are prepared to file our first quarter 2019 results after the close of trading today, bringing us current with all of our financial filings.

 

   

This enables us to then promptly file the required paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reopen the equity incentive plan.

 

   

HealthEquity’s interest in our company is a testament to our outstanding employees and the unmatched service they provide our customers each day. It’s also proof of the exceptional value we deliver and the strength of our offering in the market.

 

   

There are several steps we must take before the transaction can close by the end of the calendar year, including securing regulatory approval and stockholder approval for the transaction.

 

   

In the coming weeks, we will form a team to plan for integration consisting of members from both WageWorks and HealthEquity. But for now, it is business as usual, and we will continue to operate as two separate companies. It is absolutely critical we maintain our focus on serving our clients and moving our business forward.

 

   

The plan to integrate our businesses will be a significant undertaking, and the pace will likely change at different stages in the process. In the weeks ahead, leaders from both companies will come together to collaborate and assess how we will plan to approach this work.

 

   

We believe there will be significant opportunities for personal and professional growth for WageWorks employees as part of this larger organization.

 

   

Of course, there are a lot of decisions still to be made and details to be ironed out, but our leaders will do their very best to create clarity throughout this process. We ask for your patience as we navigate this journey.

 

   

Should you have any questions, please feel free to speak with me.

 

   

Thank you for your dedication to our clients and our mission.

Client Letter

SUBJECT: WageWorks Enters into Agreement with HealthEquity

Dear Valued Client,

Earlier today, we made the significant and exciting announcement that we have entered into an agreement under which WageWorks will be acquired by HealthEquity.

This announcement is a testament to the exceptional value we deliver. As an industry leader, we are focused on expanding our reach to ensure as many Americans as possible can access our products and gain power over their physical and financial health. Joining forces with HealthEquity will enable us to achieve this vision even faster. The acquisition of WageWorks by HealthEquity will enable us to bring a broader, deeper, more innovative set of solutions to our customers – giving you choice and peace of mind.

As you may already know, WageWorks received an unsolicited proposal in April from HealthEquity to acquire our company. Since that time, our Board of Directors has carefully reviewed the proposal with the assistance of its legal and financial advisors. The Board – acting with a strong commitment to create value for our stockholders, customers and employees – has voted to accept an improved offer and enter into this transaction.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of the calendar year. I want to assure you that in the near term, your WageWorks experience and relationship manager will remain the same – nothing will change. Upon the closing of the transaction, we will begin our efforts to integrate the two companies, in order to deliver even more value by combining the best solutions from both organizations. We will keep you updated as the transaction progresses and will do our absolute best to continue providing the high level of solutions that you deserve and have come to expect from WageWorks.

As always, we appreciate and value your continued partnership and would be happy to answer any questions you might have – please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your WageWorks broker.

Sincerely,

Edgar Montes
