The following communication is an updated version of an email sent to Livongo employees on August 10, 2020.

Team,

The industry is buzzing from our announcement that Livongo and Teladoc Health agreed to a merger this week making it the largest digital health deal in history. This merger represents a transformational opportunity to improve the delivery, access, and experience of healthcare for consumers around the world. The highly complementary organizations will combine to create substantial value across the healthcare ecosystem, enabling clients everywhere to offer high quality, personalized, technology-enabled longitudinal care that improves outcomes and lowers costs across the full spectrum of health. Livongo brings its strength with Member experience, artificial intelligence, data science, and the one-to-many model. Teladoc has been effective at creating a unique experience in one-to-one interactions over a broad range of services. The high impact opportunities ahead include increased cross-selling into each company’s client base and accelerating Livongo’s international expansion and Member enrollment through Teladoc Health’s existing footprint. In addition, we will jointly offer significantly enhanced new care models and next generation solution opportunities.

Beyond all of the press releases, interviews, and industry pundits, we know there are a combination of feelings including excitement and enthusiasm mixed with concern and apprehension. That is all normal. We want to first say that as we began to engage in discussions related to this merger a few months ago, we knew early on it was exactly the right next step to take and the right company to join in order to fulfill our mission. It was by taking this bold move we were able to create an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate how we deliver health and care and do it on an international stage - years earlier than if we went at this alone. Just think of all the people with chronic conditions that we will now be able to empower by providing a vast portfolio of health products and services. This is what we all have been driving towards and this pivotal moment has allowed us to immediately enter the global stage as the undisputed leader in digital health and Applied Health Signals.

As the merger news has settled in, let’s continue to address what may be on your mind:

You should not be concerned about job security. We want to emphasize that this is a combination of two highly complementary companies. We are looking forward to leveraging Teladoc’s broad integrated services across virtual care with Livongo’s data-driven approach to providing actionable, personalized, and timely health signals. We are in early stages off this merger and nothing changes in your job or responsibility as a result of this announcement. It is critical that we all remain focused on our responsibilities and closing the quarter with strong results as we normally would. While there are always changes when two organizations of this size come together, the rationale for this merger is about the tremendous growth potential ahead of us, not cost savings. The two companies together create a vast global footprint with evolving products to meet global need. The skills and abilities of both companies are critical to make this work and we firmly believe this merger provides our team more opportunities for personal and professional growth – especially given our blending into an existing international organization.


We have two complementary cultures and operating philosophies. We are both mission driven. The values of the two companies are very aligned and we have complementary cultures and operating philosophies that put a premium on providing easy access to health especially to those communities that have been negatively impacted and find there are barriers to connecting to quality health services. Teladoc Health is transforming how people access and experience healthcare and has long focused on virtual care as the great equalizer to reach those underserved and Livongo empowers people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives with a deep focus on chronic conditions, which disproportionately impacts underserved communities. The combined company will be positioned to make meaningful progress on addressing access to care disparities around the world and simply make a much bigger and more extensive impact for millions of people.

Your LVGO stock will be exchanged for TDOC stock. Stock that you own will be exchanged for Teladoc Health stock at a rate of .5920 [corrected] to reflect the relative share values of Livongo and Teladoc Health as of the agreement date. You will also receive cash of $11.33 for each share of LVGO as well. The team is finalizing a detailed Q&A and guide that will explain what will happen to your shares when the deal closes in Q4. The guide and examples should answer your remaining questions.

So What is Next? We will continue to operate as two separate companies between now and the closing of the transaction. There are legal restrictions on communications during the transaction and you should not engage with Teladoc Health unless you are a member of the team working on the integration planning. The integration team will inform you when it is appropriate for you to begin engaging with your Teladoc Health counterparts. The merger is expected to close by the end of Q4 2020, subject to regulatory evaluations and Teladoc Health and Livongo shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions. Following completion of the merger, Teladoc Health plans to integrate the two companies using a thoughtful, phased approach. Both teams are committed to maintaining business continuity and service delivery to our Members throughout the integration process. Representatives from both companies will participate in the integration planning.

Town Hall Thursday… We are excited to welcome Jason Gorevic, CEO of Teledoc to participate in our Town Hall meeting this Thursday. It will be great to have Jason share his vision of the combined business. As a note, Jenny had the opportunity to speak at Teledoc’s Town Hall this morning and share our culture, member focus and the excitement of the Livongo team. We look forward to updating you and answering your questions.

Thank You! Thank you for building a company with a profound mission that drives each of us to care for our Members. As we continue work on officially closing the transaction, we ask each of you to hold true to our values, stay focused on what is important, and accelerate with us on this incredible new journey. We appreciate your dedication and hard work for leading and creating a better system of health and care – and we are just getting started.

With gratitude,

Zane and Jenny
