On May 3, 2021, a complaint was
filed against Matthew Levin by his former employer, ADP, Inc. (“ADP”), followed on May 5, 2021 by an application for a
temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
(collectively, the “ADP Complaints”). The ADP Complaints allege that Mr. Levin, the recently appointed President and
Chief Executive Officer of Benefitfocus, Inc. (the “Company”), in beginning employment with the Company would be in
violation of restrictive covenant agreements he entered into with ADP while he was employed as its Chief Strategy Officer. The ADP
Complaints request, among other things, an injunction from the court barring Mr. Levin’s employment with the Company.
The Company believes the claims made
in the ADP Complaints are without merit and Mr. Levin intends to vigorously defend himself against these actions and begin his employment
with the Company as planned on May 10, 2021.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
