INTRODUCTORY NOTE

As previously disclosed, on January 4, 2022, Castlight Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Castlight”), Vera Whole Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vera”), and Carbon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Vera (“Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 19, 2022, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Castlight Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares,” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $2.05 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes.

The Offer expired as scheduled at one minute past 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 16, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised Vera and the Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 140,812,345 Shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which tendered Shares represented approximately 85.9% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is satisfied. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Following consummation of the Offer, Vera completed its combination with Castlight by consummating the merger of Purchaser with and into Castlight (the “Merger”), without a meeting of stockholders of Castlight in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), with Castlight surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Vera (the “Surviving Corporation”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding that was not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Purchaser, (ii) Shares held by Castlight as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) Shares owned by a holder who has properly demanded appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL and who has not effectively withdrawn such demand) was cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $2.05 (which is the same amount per Share paid in the Offer)), without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any outstanding stock option or restricted stock unit, (i) each stock option that was vested, outstanding and unexercised, and that had an exercise price per Share underlying such stock option that was less than the Merger Consideration, was cancelled and each holder of such stock option became entitled to receive an amount of cash determined by multiplying (A) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share underlying such stock option by (B) the number of Shares subject to such stock option, without interest and subject to any required tax withholdings; (ii) each stock option that was unvested, outstanding and unexercised, and that had an exercise price per Share underlying such stock option that was less than the Merger Consideration, was cancelled and each holder of such stock option became entitled to receive, payable in accordance with the same vesting conditions as applied to the stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount of cash determined by multiplying (A) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share underlying such stock option by (B) the number of Shares subject to such stock option, without interest and subject to any required tax withholdings; (iii) each stock option, whether or not exercisable or vested, that had an exercise price per Share underlying such stock option that was greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration, was cancelled without payment; (iv) each restricted stock unit that was outstanding and vested was cancelled and each holder of such restricted stock unit became entitled to receive an amount of cash determined by multiplying (A) the Merger Consideration by (B) the number of Shares subject to such restricted stock unit, without interest and subject to any required tax withholdings; and (v) each restricted stock unit that was not an Unvested Director RSU (as defined below) and that was outstanding and unvested was cancelled and each holder of such restricted stock unit became entitled to receive, payable in accordance with the same vesting conditions as applied to the restricted stock unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount of cash determined by multiplying (A) the Merger Consideration by (B) the number of Shares subject to such restricted stock unit, without interest and subject to any required tax withholdings. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit that was then-outstanding and unvested and held by a non-employee director of Castlight (each, an “Unvested Director RSU”) became immediately vested in full and was treated as a vested restricted stock unit at the Effective Time, as described above. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time there were no restricted stock units subject to performance conditions outstanding. Any performance stock units that were earned and remained subject to time-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were treated as unvested restricted stock units at the Effective Time, as described above.

The aggregate cash consideration paid by Vera in the Offer and the Merger was approximately $342 million, excluding related transaction fees and expenses. CD&R Fund XI has provided to Purchaser an equity commitment equal to $338 million (the “Equity Financing”). Vera and Purchaser funded the consideration paid to stockholders and holders of outstanding stock

options and restricted stock units in the Offer and pursuant to the Merger through the proceeds of the Equity Financing, together with Vera’s and Castlight’s cash on hand.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Castlight’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 5, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference.
