As previously disclosed, on September 2, 2022, Signify Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Signify” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CVS Pharmacy, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation (“CVS”), and Noah Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS (“Merger Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS (the “Merger”). On September 19, 2022, Signify filed a preliminary proxy statement (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and on September 30, 2022, Signify filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the SEC, in each case in connection with the Merger.
Since the filing of the Preliminary Proxy Statement, nine complaints have been filed in federal courts in Delaware and New York by purported Signify Stockholders against Signify and members of the Signify board of directors in connection with the Merger: Stein v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8048 (filed September 20, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); O’Dell v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8074 (filed September 21, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Wolfson v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8373 (filed September 30, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Bruton v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8425 (filed October 3, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Bushansky v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8527 (filed October 6, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Lifshitz v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8564 (filed October 7, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Minzer v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8540 (filed October 7, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); Coffman v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-8622 (filed October 11, 2022) (S.D.N.Y.); and Dixon v. Signify Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-1339 (filed October 11, 2022) (D. Del.) (collectively, the “Stockholder Litigation”). Each of the complaints in the Stockholder Litigation alleges that, among other things, the Preliminary Proxy Statement and/or the Proxy Statement omitted certain material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.
Additionally, on September 28, 2022, October 3, 2022, October 12, 2022, October 13, 2022, and October 18, 2022, eight purported Signify stockholders sent demand letters alleging similar insufficiencies in the disclosures in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and/or the Proxy Statement in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder (such letters, the “Demand Letters” and collectively with the Stockholder Litigation, the “Litigation Matters”). The plaintiffs in the Stockholder Litigation seek various remedies, including an order enjoining the defendants from proceeding with the Merger, requiring the defendants to disclose allegedly material information that was allegedly omitted from the Proxy Statement, rescinding the Merger in the event that it is consummated or granting rescissory damages, declaring that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, awarding costs, including attorneys’ and expert fees and expenses, and granting such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper.
Signify believes that the claims asserted in the Litigation Matters are without merit and no additional disclosures are required under applicable laws. However, in order to avoid the risk of the Litigation Matters delaying or adversely affecting the Merger and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Signify has determined to voluntarily make the following supplemental disclosures to the Proxy Statement, as described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Signify specifically denies all allegations in the Litigation Matters that any additional disclosure was or is required.
These supplemental disclosures will not change the consideration to be paid to Signify stockholders in connection with the Merger or the timing of the special meeting of Signify stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held virtually via live webcast on October 31, 2022, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SGFY2022SM. The Signify board of directors continues to unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting described in the Proxy Statement.
Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement in Connection with the Litigation Matters
The following disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K supplement the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement, which in turn should be read in its entirety. In each instance, the bold and underlined language is added and the struck language is removed. All page references are to the Proxy Statement and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
The disclosure in the section entitled “Summary of Material Financial Analysis of Goldman Sachs,” beginning on page 45 of the Proxy Statement, is hereby amended as follows:
The paragraph beginning “Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on page 46 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Using the Forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on Signify. Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 11.5%, reflecting estimates of Signify’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of June 30, 2022 (i) estimates of unlevered free cash flow, as set forth in the table on page 59 of the Proxy Statement (less stock-based compensation expenses, as set forth in the table on page 59 of the Proxy Statement as amended in this Current Report on Form 8-K), for Signify for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2022 and the fiscal years 2023 through 2031 as reflected in the Forecasts and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Signify, which were calculated by applying next twelve months (“NTM”) terminal year multiples of enterprise value to terminal year NTM Adjusted EBITDA ranging from 8.0x to 10.5x, to an estimate of Signify’s NTM Adjusted EBITDA (less stock-based compensation expenses) of $1,162mm, as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, as reflected in the Forecasts (which analysis implied perpetuity growth rates ranging from 0.9% to 4.6%). Utilizing its professional judgment and experience, Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (the “CAPM”), which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Signify’s target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, after-tax yield on permanent excess cash, if any, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Signify, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. The range of illustrative terminal year multiples of enterprise value to terminal year NTM Adjusted EBITDA (less stock-based compensation expenses) for Signify was, and the assumptions underlying that analysis, were estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account, among other things, current and historical multiples of enterprise value to NTM Adjusted EBITDA (which is referred to in this section of the proxy statement as “NTM EV/EBITDA”) for Signify and certain selected publicly traded companies summarized in the section below captioned “—Selected Public Company Comparables.”
The paragraph beginning “Goldman Sachs derived a range of illustrative enterprise values for Signify” on page 46 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Goldman Sachs derived a range of illustrative enterprise values for Signify by adding the ranges of present values it derived as described above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted, from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Signify, the amount of Signify’s total debt and debt-like items as of June 30, 2022 (ranging from $413mm to $414.3mm) and added the amount of Signify’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 ($439.4mm) and the present value of the benefit of tax assets covered by the TRA net of the liabilities owed under the TRA discounted at Signify’s WACC ($14.5mm), each as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Signify. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Company Stock (ranging from 247.7mm to 248.9mm shares), as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Signify’s common stock ranging from $22.23 to $30.43.
The paragraph beginning “Goldman Sachs then subtracted the amount of Signify’s total debt and debt-like items” on page 46 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Goldman Sachs then subtracted the amount of Signify’s total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of Signify’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as well as the present value of the benefit of tax assets covered by the TRA net of the liabilities owed under the TRA discounted at Signify’s WACC, as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, each as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, from the range of enterprise values in order to derive a range of illustrative equity values as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Goldman Sachs then divided these implied equity values by the projected number of fully diluted outstanding Company Stock as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of implied future equity values per share of Signify’s common stock. Goldman Sachs then discounted these implied future equity values per share to June 30, 2022, using an illustrative discount rate of 11.3%, reflecting an estimate of Signify’s cost of equity. Utilizing its professional judgment and experience, Goldman Sachs derived such discount rate by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including a beta for Signify, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values of $19.06 to $28.90 per share of Signify’s common stock.

The paragraph beginning “Based on the results of the foregoing calculations” on page 47 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Based on the results of the foregoing calculations of EV/LTM EBITDA multiples and Goldman Sachs’ analyses of the various transactions and its professional judgment and experience, Goldman Sachs selected a reference range of EV/LTM EBITDA multiples of 11.0x to 29.0x to Signify’s LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2022, as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, to derive a range of implied enterprise values for Signify. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from this range of implied enterprise values the amount of Signify’s total debt and debt-like items (ranging from $348.3mm to $482.5mm), and added the amount of Signify’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 ($439.4mm), each as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Signify. Goldman Sachs divided the results by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Company Stock as of August 31, 2022 (ranging from 244.8mm to 247.8mm shares), as provided by Signify management and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by Signify management, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of implied values per share of Signify’s common stock of $9.28 to $23.03.
The paragraph beginning “Premia Paid Analysis” on page 48 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Premia Paid Analysis. Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed, using publicly available information, the acquisition premia for 49 transactions announced from September 1, 2012 through September 1, 2022 involving a public company in the healthcare industry (excluding the biotechnology industry) based in the United States as the target where the disclosed enterprise value for the transaction were between $3 billion and $20 billion. For the entire period, using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs calculated the mean, median, 25th percentile and 75th percentile premia of the price paid in each of the transactions relative to the target’s last undisturbed closing stock price prior to announcement of the transaction. This analysis indicated a median premium of 27.0%, a mean premium of 30.3%, a 25th percentile premium of 13.3%, and a 75th percentile premium of 38.9% across the period. This analysis, limiting the data set to the 32 transactions with only cash consideration, indicated a median premium of 34.2%, a mean premium of 36.5%, a 25th percentile premium of 16.3%, and a 75th percentile premium of 56.3% across the period. Using this analysis and its professional judgment and experience, Goldman Sachs applied a reference range of illustrative premia of 13.3% to 38.9% to the Unaffected Share Price, and calculated a range of implied equity values per share of Signify’s common stock of $19.44 to $23.82.
The paragraph beginning “Using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared” on page 48 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared NTM EV/EBITDA multiples for Signify (ranging from 13.9x for the prior three months to 25.5x since Signify’s IPO) and the following publicly traded corporations in the healthcare and healthcare information technology industries, which are collectively referred to in this section of the proxy statement as the “Selected Companies”:

The paragraph beginning “Based upon the results of the selected precedent transactions analysis” on page 55 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Based upon the results of the selected precedent transactions analysis summarized above, and taking into account its professional judgment and experience, Deutsche Bank calculated ranges of estimated implied value per share of Class A Common Stock by applying multiples of TEV/LTM EBITDA of 14.0x to 29.0x to Signify’s last-twelve-months Adjusted EBITDA for the period ending June 30, 2022, as provided by Signify’s management, resulting in a range of implied values of $11.69 to $23.03 per share of Class A Common Stock.
The paragraph beginning “In performing the discounted cash flow analysis” on page 55 is amended and supplemented as follows:
In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, Deutsche Bank, taking into account its professional judgment and experience, calculated and applied a range of discount rates of 9.6% to 10.7% to the sum of (i) unlevered free cash flows estimated to be generated by Signify for the fiscal years 2022 to 2031, as reflected in the financial forecasts and data provided by Signify’s management, and (ii) estimated terminal values of Signify calculated using perpetuity growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 3.5% (which analysis applied resulted in implied terminal year enterprise value to Adjusted EBITDA multiples ranging from 8.6x to 11.6x). As reflected in the financial forecasts and data provided by Signify’s management, stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense and unlevered free cash flow was calculated as (a) Adjusted EBITDA, less (b) stock-based compensation, less (c) cash taxes, less (d) capital expenditures and less (e) changes in net working capital, in each case as provided to Deutsche Bank by Signify’s management (as set forth in the table on page 59 of the Proxy Statement, as amended in this Current Report on Form 8-K). For additional information regarding the financial data provided by Signify’s management underlying these calculations, please see “The Merger-Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information.”

The paragraph beginning “Deutsche Bank derived the foregoing” on page 55 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Deutsche Bank derived the foregoing range of discount rates using a weighted average cost of capital analysis, taking into account its professional judgment and experience, based on a risk free rate of 3.6% using (the 20-year U.S. government bond yield as of September 1, 2022), the cost of debt and certain other financial metrics, including betas, for Signify and the other selected companies described above.

All twelve of the negotiated non-disclosure agreements, including among things, an employee non-solicit provision ranging from twelve to eighteen months and eleven of the twelve non-disclosure agreements, including the non-disclosure agreement with CVS Health, included a twelve-month standstill provision; the twelfth did not include a standstill provision or a “don’t ask, don’t waive” provision, but was otherwise substantively similar to the other eleven.
