Evolent estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $140.2 million (or
approximately $161.2 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting fees and estimated expenses payable by Evolent.
Evolent expects to use approximately $100.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering, plus available liquidity, to repurchase approximately
$167.4 million aggregate principal of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) for approximately $167.6 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the notes. Evolent also
expects to use approximately $40.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Evolent’s Class A common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering in privately negotiated transactions. If the
initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Evolent expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to reduce the amount of available liquidity required to repurchase or repay the 2025 Notes.
In connection with the concurrent share repurchase described above, Evolent has agreed to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock sold short by initial
investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of Evolent’s Class A common stock on
August 18, 2025, which was $9.02 per share. These repurchases could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent’s Class A common stock or the notes. In the case of repurchases effected concurrently
with the offering, this activity could affect the market price of Evolent’s Class A common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes, and could result in a higher effective conversion price for the notes.
In connection with the repurchases of the 2025 Notes described above, Evolent expects that holders of the 2025 Notes who agree to have their 2025 Notes
repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such 2025 Notes will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying Evolent’s Class A common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions
with respect to Evolent’s Class A common stock. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent’s Class A common stock, including concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the
notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the notes. Evolent cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or Evolent’s Class A common stock and the
corresponding effect on the initial conversion price of the notes.
Consummation of the sale of the notes is subject to customary closing conditions, and
there can be no assurance that the offering of the notes will be consummated. Settlement is expected to occur on August 21, 2025.
The notes and any
shares of Class A common stock of Evolent issuable upon conversion of the notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
the registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
