Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 7, 2021, HealthEquity, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("HealthEquity"), entered into an Amended and Restated Asset and Unit Purchase
Agreement (the "Restated Purchase Agreement") with Viking Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HealthEquity ("Viking"), MII
Life Insurance, Incorporated d/b/a Further, a Minnesota corporation ("MII
Life"), and Aware Integrated, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation ("Aware"
and, together with MII Life, "Sellers"). The Restated Purchase Agreement amends
and restates in its entirety that certain Asset and Unit Purchase Agreement,
dated as of April 8, 2021 (the "Original Purchase Agreement"), by and among
HealthEquity, Viking and Sellers. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Restated Purchase Agreement.
The Restated Purchase Agreement, among other things, (1) excludes from the scope
of the Original Purchase Agreement all cash balances and investment assets
included in any voluntary employee beneficiary association ("VEBA") account that
is funding a health reimbursement arrangement (either Section 501(c)(9) trusts
or Section 115 trusts) (collectively, the "VEBA Assets"), and all Contracts
related exclusively thereto (the "VEBA Contracts" and, together with the VEBA
Assets, the "VEBA Portfolio"), (2) reduces the Consideration payable by Viking
under the Restated Purchase Agreement to $455,000,000, and (3) extends the End
Date under the Restated Purchase Agreement to November 30, 2021, with a target
closing date of November 1, 2021 (the "Primary Closing").
The Restated Purchase Agreement provides for substantially similar
representations, warranties and covenants as provided in the Original Purchase
Agreement, except that the foregoing do not include matters relating to the VEBA
Portfolio.
Concurrently with the execution of the Restated Purchase Agreement, on September
7, 2021, HealthEquity entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "VEBA
Purchase Agreement") with Viking and MII Life. The VEBA Purchase Agreement
provides for (1) the transfer of all VEBA Assets to Viking (or its designee) and
(2) the transfer to Viking (or its designee), or termination, in each case as
provided therein, of all VEBA Contracts, for a maximum purchase price payable by
Viking to MII Life of $45,000,000. The VEBA Purchase Agreement, which is
anticipated to close on January 31, 2022, has substantially the same terms as
those set forth in the Original Purchase Agreement in respect of the VEBA
Portfolio except as provided therein.
The maximum purchase price payable for the VEBA Portfolio (the "VEBA Purchase
Price") will be $45,000,000 and will be calculated based on the actual amount of
VEBA Assets transferred to Viking (or its designee) at the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the VEBA Purchase Agreement (the "VEBA Closing")
relative to the total amount of the VEBA Assets as of April 30, 2021.
The VEBA Purchase Agreement provides for substantially similar representations,
warranties and covenants as provided in the Original Purchase Agreement, except
that the foregoing are limited in scope to matters relating exclusively to the
VEBA Portfolio.
The rights and obligations of the parties to the VEBA Purchase Agreement will
terminate, and the VEBA Purchase Agreement will no longer be in effect except as
expressly contemplated thereby, upon the earlier of the VEBA Closing and
February 28, 2022.

Consummation of each of the Primary Closing and VEBA Closing is subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions at the respective Closing, including, without
limitation (i) the nonexistence of any governmental order prohibiting the
consummation of the respective Closing, (ii) in the case of the Primary Closing,
the delivery of certain required consents, and there being no Material Adverse
Effect (as defined in the Restated Purchase Agreement) between the signing of
the Restated Purchase Agreement and the Primary Closing and (iii) the execution
and delivery of certain customary closing certificates, instruments, documents
and other items by the parties to the Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA
Purchase Agreement.
HealthEquity and Viking have agreed under the Restated Purchase Agreement and
VEBA Purchase Agreement that, in the absence of fraud, their sole remedy in the
event of a breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers under either the
Restated Purchase Agreement or the VEBA Purchase Agreement will be under a
representation and warranty policy purchased by them at the time of the signing
of the Original Purchase Agreement.
The Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA Purchase Agreement have been included
as exhibits to this Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding
their respective terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual
information about HealthEquity, Viking, MII Life, Aware or any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and
covenants contained in the Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA Purchase
Agreement were made only for purposes of the Restated Purchase Agreement and
VEBA Purchase Agreement, respectively, and as of specific dates, were solely for
the benefit of the parties to the Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA Purchase
Agreement, respectively, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the
contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made
for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the
Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA Purchase Agreement instead of establishing
these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality
applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to
investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under either of the
Restated Purchase Agreement or VEBA Purchase Agreement and should not rely on
the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as
characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties
thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover,
information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may
change after the date hereof, which subsequent information may or may not be
fully reflected in HealthEquity's public disclosures.
The foregoing descriptions of the Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA Purchase
Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in
their entirety by, the full text of the Restated Purchase Agreement and VEBA
Purchase Agreement, respectively, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and
2.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including but not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transactions
between HealthEquity, Viking and Sellers and the timing of such proposed
transactions. All statements other than statements of historical fact that
address activities, events or developments that HealthEquity expects, believes
or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements reflect current expectations regarding future events,
results or outcomes, and are typically identified by words such as "will",
"shall" or similar expressions that convey the prospective nature of events or
outcomes. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not
limited to: the conditions to the completion of the proposed transactions; the
ability of HealthEquity to successfully integrate the Spending Account Business
and VEBA Business into HealthEquity's current business; that such integration
may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; that operating
costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation,
difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers or
suppliers) may be greater than expected following the proposed transactions or
the public announcement of the proposed transactions; and that the retention of
certain key employees of the Spending Account Business may be difficult.
Although HealthEquity believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, HealthEquity gives no assurance these expectations
will prove to be correct. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ
materially from expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including those described above. For a detailed
discussion of other risk factors, please refer to the risks detailed in
HealthEquity's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including,
without limitation, HealthEquity's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
subsequent periodic and current reports. HealthEquity undertakes no intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking
statements should not be relied upon as representing views as of any date
subsequent to the date of this Form 8-K.
