Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 27, 2025, Accolade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). As of February 18, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), 81,993,060 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A summary of the matters voted upon by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting is set forth below.

A total of 58,630,690 shares of Common Stock were present at the Special Meeting in person, by virtual attendance, or by proxy, which represents approximately 71.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

Proposal 1. The Merger Agreement Proposal.

The Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time), dated January 8, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Transcarent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Acorn Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”). The final voting results are as follows:

Votes For		Votes Against		Abstentions
58,476,000		106,097		48,593

Proposal 2. The Compensation Proposal.

The Company’s stockholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that will or may become payable by the Company to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger. The final voting results are as follows:

Votes For		Votes Against		Abstentions
53,423,931		5,069,907		136,852

Proposal 3. The Adjournment Proposal.

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). Because the Merger Agreement Proposal was approved at the Special Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal was not necessary or appropriate and was not presented at the Special Meeting.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 27, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the Special Meeting. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
