Introductory Note

As previously disclosed, on February 17, 2021, eHealth, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Echelon Health SPV, LP (the “Investor”), an investment vehicle of H.I.G. Capital. On April 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, the Company issued and sold to the Investor in a private placement, 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), at an aggregate purchase price of $225,000,000 (the “Private Placement”).


Item 3.02						Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance and sale of Series A Preferred Stock to the Investor is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the Investment Agreement and the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock was previously disclosed under “Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” and a summary of the exemption from registration claimed was previously disclosed under “Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” each in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2021, which are hereby incorporated by reference.


Item 3.03						Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth under the Introductory Note, Item 5.03 and Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance and sale of Series A Preferred Stock to the Investor, the filing of the Certificate of Designations (as defined below) and the Waiver Letter (as defined below) in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.03						Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On the Closing Date, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Company designated 2,250,000 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. A summary of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock was previously disclosed under “Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,” in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations contained in or incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designations, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 8.01						Other Events.

On the Closing Date, the Investor delivered a letter to the Company acknowledging and waiving certain of its rights under the Investment Agreement (the “Waiver Letter”). The Company and its independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), previously respectively determined that without certain waivers set forth in the Waiver Letter, upon the closing of the Private Placement, the Investor would be considered a “beneficial owner” that “has significant influence” over the Company under Rule 2-01(c)(3) of Regulation S-X (the “Rule”) and, that the direct business relationships that exist between EY and its associated entities, on the one hand, and another entity (the “Entity”) on the other hand would be inconsistent with the Rule and result in EY not being independent of the Company.

Under the Waiver Letter, until such time as (i) EY no longer has a direct or material indirect business relationship with the Entity; (ii) the Investor and its affiliates no longer directly or indirectly own a majority of the outstanding voting interests of, or control the board of directors or similar organizing body of the Entity; (iii) the Company concludes or is informed by EY that the Private Placement, including the rights of the Investor under the Investment Agreement, do not result in EY failing to be considered independent or otherwise disqualify EY from continuing to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; or (iv) EY is no longer the Company’s independent auditor, the Investor waives its rights pursuant to the

Investment Agreement (x) to nominate one individual for election to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and certain related rights, including its right to nominate one additional director to the Board if the Company fails to maintain certain levels of commissions receivable and liquidity; (y) to approve the Company’s annual budget or any material deviation therefrom as set forth in the Investment Agreement; and (z) to approve the hiring or firing of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Digital Officer or Chief Revenue Officer of the Company as set forth in the Investment Agreement, in the case of each of (y) and (z), at any time during which such approval rights would otherwise be exercisable by the Investor under the Investment Agreement.
