The Company issued $117.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 in August 2020 (the “2024 Notes”) in privately negotiated exchange and/or subscription agreements, $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 in October 2018 (the “2025 Notes”) in private placements to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 in December 2023 (the “2029 Notes,” and together with the 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes, the “Convertible Senior Notes”), in private placements to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. All 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes will mature on the date in the table below, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their respective terms prior to such date. The Company redeemed all outstanding 2024 Notes on October 13, 2023.

The Convertible Senior Notes are recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their net carrying values. All of our Convertible Senior Notes also have embedded conversion options and contingent interest provisions, which have not been recorded as separate financial instruments and their fair values are Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 17 for additional discussion on the fair value classifications of our Convertible Senior Notes.

The 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, based on an initial conversion rate of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of the Company’s Class A common stock. In the aggregate, the 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes are initially convertible into 20.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The conversion rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, at the Company’s election.

On December 6, 2024 (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”), the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement that provides new secured debt financing in the form of (i) additional commitments under the Company’s existing asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $50.0 million (the “2024 Revolver Increase”, and together with the Initial Revolving Facility and the 2023 Revolver Increase, the “Revolving Facility”), (ii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $125.0 million (the “2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $75.0 million (the “2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and together with the 2024 Revolver Increase and the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “2024 Incremental Facilities”; the Initial Term Loan Facility, the 2023 Additional Term Loans, the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the 2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Term Loan Facility”; the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Credit Facilities”), and effected certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement.

On June 19, 2025, in connection with the Company’s entry into Amendment No. 5, the Company and EVH LLC entered into a Commitment Letter with Ares which provides the Company additional available non-dilutive debt capital of up to $150.0 million (the “Incremental Facility”) to retire its 2025 Notes on or before October 15, 2025 (the maturity date of the 2025 Notes) and for working capital, subject to certain conditions. The Commitment Letter also required that the Company would, in the event the Incremental Facility is drawn and in certain other circumstances, exchange its existing Series A Preferred Shares for an additional second lien term facility in the amount of the Liquidation Preference of the Series A Preferred Shares ($175.0 million) (the “Exchange”). The Exchange was completed on August 7, 2025. The Company may draw on the Incremental Facility at its sole option, in an amount such that its balance of cash and cash equivalents after paying off the 2025 Notes is no more than $125.0 million. The Company has not drawn on the Incremental Facility.

All loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement (including loans under the 2024 Incremental Facilities and loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement) (collectively, the “Loans”) and the Second Lien Term Loans will mature on the date that is the earliest of (a) December 6, 2029, (b) the date on which all amounts outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement have been declared or

The interest rate for all Loans will be calculated, at the option of the borrowers, (a) in the case of the Revolving Facility, at either the adjusted term Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.00%, or the base rate plus 3.00% and (b) in the case of the Term Loan Facility, at either the adjusted term SOFR plus 5.50% or the base rate plus 4.50%, subject to step downs based on a total secured leverage ratio.

The interest rate for the Second Lien Term Loan Facility will be calculated, (a) in the case of Second Lien Term Loans that bear interest at ABR, as the Applicable Margin plus the ABR and (b) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, in each case subject to step downs based on a total secured leverage ratio. The interest rate for the Second Lien Term Loan will be calculated (a) in the case of loans that bear interest at ABR, 5.00% plus the ABR and (b) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, 6.00% plus the relevant Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, in each case subject to step downs based on a total secured leverage ratio.

The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the capital stock of each borrower and guarantor (other than the Company) and substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Second Lien Term Loans are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by the same entities that guarantee the obligations of the Borrower under the First Lien Credit Agreement on substantially the same terms (only as modified to reflect their second lien nature). The Second Lien Term Loans are secured by a second priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor, subject to certain customary exceptions, on substantially the same terms as set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Loans in respect of the Term Loan Facility outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement may be prepaid and commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement may be terminated at the option of the Borrower subject to applicable premiums and a call protection premium payable on the amount prepaid or terminated, as applicable, in certain instances as follows: (1) 2.00% of the principal amount so prepaid or terminated after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; (2) 1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid or terminated after the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; and (3) 0.00% of the principal amount so prepaid or terminated on or after the second anniversary of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

The Borrowers will pay an unused line fee equal to 0.50% times the result of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility, less (ii) the average Revolving Facility usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof), which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter from and after the IPG Closing Date and on the date on which (X) the Credit Facilities are paid in full in cash and (y) the Revolving Facility is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Loans under the 2024 Incremental Facilities are subject to the same security and guarantee arrangements and affirmative and negative covenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default as loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, in each case, subject to certain modifications agreed by the parties. We incurred debt issuance costs of $14.6 million in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and $3.4 million in connection with borrowings under the 2024 Incremental Facilities, respectively, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company borrowed $200.0 million under its Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2025, there was $200.0 million and $62.5 million outstanding under the Company’s Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility, respectively.
