NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Talkspace, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Talkspace”) is a leading behavioral healthcare company enabled by a purpose-built technology platform. Talkspace provides individuals and licensed therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists with an online platform for one-on-one therapy delivered via messaging, audio and video. The Company offers convenient and affordable access to a fully credentialed network of highly qualified providers. Since Talkspace’s founding in 2012, the Company has connected millions of patients with licensed behavioral health providers across a wide and growing spectrum of care through virtual counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatry. Through its platform, Talkspace serves its business-to-business ("B2B") channel, comprised of large enterprise clients, large health plans and employee assistance programs who offer their employees and insured members access to the Company's platform while their employer is under an active contract with Talkspace, or at in-network reimbursement rates, where applicable, and its business-to-consumer ("B2C") channel, comprised of individual consumers who subscribe directly to the Company's platform.

Talkspace was originally incorporated as Hudson Executive Investment Corp. (“HEC”), a special purpose acquisition company, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On January 12, 2021, HEC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 12, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Groop Internet Platform, Inc. (“Old Talkspace”), Tailwind Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HEC (“First Merger Sub”), and Tailwind Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”). On June 22, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into Old Talkspace (the “First Merger”) with Old Talkspace surviving the First Merger, and immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Old Talkspace merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HEC. The Company refers to this transaction as the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, HEC filed the Certificate of Incorporation and changed its name to “Talkspace, Inc.”

The Company's principal executive office is located in New York, NY. The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Talkspace LLC, Talkspace Network LLC and Groop Internet Platform LTD. In addition, the Company holds a variable interest in one professional association and six professional corporations, which have been established pursuant to the requirements of their respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine. See Note 15, “Variable Interest Entities,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
