Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. At Closing (defined below), Passport Health Plan, Inc.'s (formerly known as Justify Holdings, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as "Passport") Medicaid contract with the Kentucky Cabinet for Family Services (the "Medicaid Contract") was novated to Molina Healthcare, Inc. ("Molina"), and as a result, Passport will begin to wind down its business. Evolent Health, Inc. (the "Company") previously accounted for its investment in Passport on an unconsolidated basis as an investment in a variable interest entity. The Closing constituted a reconsideration event under ASC 810, which required the Company to re-evaluate its variable interest entity analysis. As a result of such analysis, the Company concluded that it has a controlling financial interest in Passport; accordingly, the Company will consolidate Passport under the voting interest model in its consolidated financial statements on a going forward basis for accounting purposes (the "Consolidation"). As a result of the Consolidation, the remaining assets of Passport, consisting largely of regulatory capital, which on July 31, 2020 was in excess of 250% RBC, as well as its liabilities and results of operations, which are expected to not be material, will be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Consolidation will be accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Item 8.01. Other Events. As previously disclosed on the Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2020 (the "Prior 8-K"), Evolent Health LLC ("Evolent"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Passport, which is owned 70% by EH Holding Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolent, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Molina, pursuant to which Passport agreed to sell certain assets to Molina (or its permitted affiliate assignee). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred on September 1, 2020 (the "Closing"). At the Closing, Molina acquired certain assets from Passport, including certain intellectual property rights of Passport and Passport's rights under the Medicaid Contract, and Molina deposited $20.0 million in cash in escrow, which is expected to be released to Passport on January 1, 2021.

Please refer to the Prior 8-K for additional information regarding the transaction and the consideration expected to be received by Evolent and Passport as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is subject to and entirely qualified by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 7, 2020.
