Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 29, 2016, Teladoc, Inc. (the Company), Copper Acquisition Sub One, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub 1), and Copper Acquisition Sub Two, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub 2), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with HY Holdings, Inc. (HY Holdings) and Frontier Fund IV, L.P., in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative thereunder, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the capital stock of HY Holdings.
The Merger Agreement provided, among other things, that the acquisition of HY Holdings would be accomplished by means of (i) the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into HY Holdings, with HY Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation (the First Surviving Corporation) (the First Merger), immediately followed by (ii) the merger of the First Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the First Merger, former holders of capital stock of HY Holdings and options to purchase capital stock of HY Holdings (collectively, the Equityholders) will receive a pro rata share of (a) 6,955,796 shares of common stock of the Company (the Shares), with an aggregate value of $80 million, based on an agreed per share price of $11.5012 per share, and (b) $45 million in cash, with such cash amount being subject to a customary post-closing adjustment based on, among other things, the amount of cash and working capital in the business at the closing date.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by HY Holdings, the Company, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2. The Merger Agreement also contains customary indemnities of the Company and the Equityholders. (i) $4.5 million in cash and (ii) 695,580 shares of common stock of the Company, with an aggregate value of $8 million, based on an agreed per share price of $11.5012 per share, will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders, including indemnification obligations related to the breach of representations, warranties and covenants of HY Holdings contained in the Merger Agreement.
The description of the Merger Agreement set forth above 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 hereto. The Merger Agreement and the above description have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any other parties to the Merger Agreement or their respective affiliates or equityholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between each party rather than establishing matters of fact, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to investors and may be subject to qualifications or limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with the negotiated terms, including being qualified by schedules and other disclosures made by each party. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement as statements of factual information.
This filing does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The Shares were issued in a private placement pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and may only be offered or sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of HY Holdings.
The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 6,955,796 shares of common stock of the Company, with an aggregate value of $80 million, based on an agreed per share price of $11.5012 per share. The issuance of such shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: anticipate, intend, plan, believe, project, estimate, expect, may, should, will and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) changes in laws and regulations applicable to our business model; (ii) changes in market conditions and receptivity to our services and offerings; (iii) results of litigation; (iv) the loss of one or more key clients; and
(v) changes to our abilities to recruit and retain qualified providers into our network. Additional relevant risks that may affect our results are described in certain of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Current Report on Form 8-K is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

An illustration of the calculation of the distribution of the Aggregate Closing Consideration Value relative to the determination of the Common Consideration, Series A Consideration and Series B Consideration is set forth on Section 2.1(h) of the Disclosure Schedules (the Waterfall Calculation). The Waterfall Calculation, prepared as of signing, assumes a hypothetical closing date of June 30, 2016. Prior to the Closing, the Waterfall Calculation will be updated to reflect
the actual Closing Date and will be used to determine the amounts set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule.
2.2 Treatment of Capital Stock in the Second Merger. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any of Parent, Merger Sub 2, the First Surviving Corporation or the holders of shares of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation, (a) each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub 2 shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Second Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Second Surviving Corporation and (b) all shares of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any consideration being payable therefor.
2.3 Treatment of Company Options in First Merger. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option then outstanding shall fully vest (to the extent not already vested), be cancelled and converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product (less applicable withholding Taxes) of (i) the excess of the cash value of the Common Per Share Mixed Consideration (based on the reported closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of the Parent Stock on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date) over the exercise price per share of such In-the-Money Option, and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock then subject to such In-the-Money Option, to be paid in accordance with Sections 2.5. Each Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Option will be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a portion of the consideration payable to each Company Optionholder pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be reduced pursuant to provisions of this Section 2.6 hereof. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to cause Options to be treated as set forth in this Section 2.3.
2.4 Appraisal Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time held by a holder who has properly demanded and not effectively withdrawn or lost such holders appraisal rights for such shares under the DGCL or other similar rights (if any) under applicable law (collectively, the Dissenting Shares), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive a portion of the consideration as set forth in Section 2.1, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL or other applicable law (if any).
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holders appraisal rights with respect to such shares under the DGCL (and/or any other similar rights under other applicable law (if any such other rights have been purportedly invoked)), then, as of the later of the First Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.1 upon surrender of the certificate(s) formerly representing such shares.
(c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL (and of any similar demand purportedly made under other applicable law) and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands other than as required by law or pursuant to a final court order. Prior to the Closing Date, any written communication to be made by the Company
to any Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance, and the Company shall consider in good faith any input from Parent with regards to such written communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the First Surviving Corporation or the Second Surviving Corporation makes any payment or payments to holders of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262(i) of the DGCL in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement (the Excess Dissenting Share Payments), Parent shall be entitled to recover the amount of such Excess Dissenting Share Payments in accordance with the terms of Article VIII hereof.

No payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Certificates until the surrender of such Stock Certificates for exchange together with a properly completed and duly executed Stockholder Transmittal Letter and, if applicable, the Accredited Investor Certification.
(d) Payments.
(i) Parent shall deliver to each Common Stockholder who is an Accredited Investor, each Series A Preferred Stockholder and each Series B Preferred Stockholder promptly after the Closing, but in no event later than three Business Days after both the Closing and Parents receipt of the applicable documents required for payment under this Section 2.5(d)(i), (A) the cash consideration to be paid to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.1 as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule (less the amount to be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6) and (B) share certificates representing the aggregate Parent Stock payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.1 as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule (less the shares to be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6); provided, that, the delivery of such cash and share certificates to any Stockholder shall be conditioned on Parents receipt of an Accredited Investor Certification and Stockholder Transmittal Letter properly completed and duly executed by such Stockholder, and, to the extent that such documents are not delivered to Parent at or prior to the Closing with respect to any Stockholder, Parent shall not be obligated to deliver any cash or share certificates to such Stockholder until the applicable documents are delivered to Parent by such Stockholder.
(ii) Parent shall deliver to each Common Stockholder who is not an Accredited Investor, promptly after the Closing, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after both the Closing and Parents receipt of the applicable documents required for payment under this Section 2.5(d)(ii), the cash consideration to be paid to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.1 as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule (less the amount to be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6); provided, that, the delivery of such cash to any Stockholder shall be conditioned on Parents receipt of a Stockholder Transmittal Letter properly completed and duly executed by such Stockholder, and, to the extent that such documents are not delivered to Parent at or prior to the Closing with respect to

(iii) No later than Parents first ordinary payroll payment date that is at least three Business Days after the Closing, Parent shall cause to be paid to each former holder of Company Options the cash consideration, which shall be paid through the payroll system of Parent or its Subsidiary subject to applicable Tax withholding, to be paid to such former holder of Company Options pursuant to Section 2.3 as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule (less the amount to be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6).
(iv) If the consideration payable to any Stockholder is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the relevant Stock Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such amounts that the Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper, that the Person requesting such transfer pay to the Second Surviving Corporation any transfer or other Taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Second Surviving Corporation that such Taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid and that the transferee duly execute and deliver to Parent a Stockholder Transmittal Letter and Accredited Investor Certification, if applicable.
(v) Parent shall satisfy any loan amounts due and owing to the Company pursuant to the Loan Documents immediately prior to the Closing out of cash consideration contemplated to be paid to each Equityholder who is a borrower under the Loan Documents in the amounts owed by each such Equityholder by first reducing the cash consideration payable to such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.5(d)(i) and, second, if necessary, reducing the cash consideration payable to such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.3 (net applicable withholding Taxes).
(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. At and after the First Effective Time, each holder of issued and outstanding Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as a holder of securities of the Company, except for (i) the right of a holder of Company Capital Stock to surrender its, his or her Stock Certificate(s) (together with the Accredited Investor Certification, if applicable, and the Stockholder Transmittal Letter) in exchange for the consideration payable in respect of such Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 and such holders share of any distributions from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof or (iii) in the case of a Dissenting Stockholder, to perfect its, his or her right to receive payment (if any) for Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL, if applicable. After the First Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the First Surviving Corporation of the Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, Stock Certificates are presented to the First Surviving Corporation or Second Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by law.
(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates representing fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a shareholder of Parent.
(g) Lost, Stolen or Damaged Stock Certificates. In the event that any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the delivery by such Person of an indemnification agreement in such form and containing such
substance acceptable to Parent, Parent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate the consideration to be paid with respect thereto, subject to the terms and conditions in this Article II.
(h) Withholding Taxes. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including consideration payable from the Escrow Account) to any Stockholder, Company Optionholder or other Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, and shall pay over such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any amounts are required to be so withheld from any distributions from the Escrow Account, upon Parents request, such amounts required to be withheld shall be distributed to Parent (or an entity designated by Parent) to enable Parent (or any such designated entity) to comply with its withholding obligations (including without limitation, any obligations of the Company, the First Surviving Corporation or the Second Surviving Corporation).
2.6 Escrow. In order to at least partially satisfy, and to establish a procedure for the satisfaction of, amounts owed to Parent pursuant to Section 2.7 and claims by the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII hereof, Parent, the Stockholder Representative and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the Escrow Agent) shall enter into the Escrow Agreement on the Closing Date, pursuant to which Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent (i) cash in the amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) (the Cash Escrow Amount) and (ii) an aggregate of 695,580 shares of Parent Stock (the Stock Escrow Amount) within ten (10) business days after the Closing. Parent shall be deemed to have contributed the proportion of the Escrow Amount with respect to each Equityholder set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule and the consideration payable to each Equityholder pursuant to this Article II shall be reduced by such amount. As used in this Agreement, the term Escrow Amount means, as of any moment in time, the amount of cash and the value of the Parent Stock then in the Escrow Account. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall establish an escrow account into which the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Amount (the Escrow Account). The timing and methodology for the release of the Escrow Amount shall be governed by the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative agrees that it will act in good faith and cooperate with one another to execute and deliver such joint written instructions, including with respect to any distributions of the Escrow Amount, to the Escrow Agent as are required to implement the intent of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. After the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Stockholders and Parent or the Second Surviving Corporation, on behalf of the Company Optionholders, the remaining Escrow Amount minus the Pending Claims Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event of a distribution of any amounts from the Escrow Account to the Equityholders, each Equityholder shall be entitled to receive a portion of such distribution equal to the proportion set forth with respect to such Equityholder on the Closing Consideration Certificate. For purposes of satisfying any claims for indemnification under this Agreement, all shares of Parent Stock in the Escrow Account shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Value, as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, combinations or the like, irrespective of the actual value of such shares at the time the claim is satisfied out of the Escrow Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Stock shall be released from the Escrow Account and all releases of shares of Parent Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
2.7 Post-Closing Adjustments to the Estimated Cash Amount.
(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the Closing Statement) setting forth Parents good faith calculation of (i) the Transaction Expenses, (ii) Working Capital and (iii) the Company Closing Cash, and based thereon, a calculation of the Cash Amount.
(b) During the thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, Parent will provide the Stockholder Representative and its accountants reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to (x) review the financial books and records of the Company, any of the Companys accountants work papers related to the calculation of amounts in the Closing Statement (subject to the execution of any access letters that such accountants may require in connection with the review of such work papers), and (y) the employees and other representatives of Parent and the Company who were responsible for the preparation of the Closing Statement to respond to questions relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the items thereon, in each case solely to allow the Stockholder Representative to determine the accuracy of Parents calculation of the items set forth on the Closing Statement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall have any obligation to provide information or access to information, materials or persons if doing so would reasonably be expected to (i) unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Companys business, (ii) result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of any trade secrets or (iii) violate any Law or the terms of any applicable Contract to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is party. If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with any of Parents calculations set forth in the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (the Objection Notice) to Parent disagreeing with such calculations; provided, however, that the Objection Notice shall include only objections consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which the Stockholder Representative disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount, and shall set forth the Stockholder Representatives calculation, based on such objections, of (i) the Transaction Expenses, (ii) the Working Capital and (iii) the Company Closing Cash, and based thereon a calculation of the Cash Amount. To the extent not set forth in the Objection Notice, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with Parents calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement. If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, then the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding on the parties.
(c) If an Objection Notice is timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(b), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the value of the disputed items or amounts, and any discussions relating thereto shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule(s) and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future proceedings between the parties to this Agreement. If, during such period, the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to reach agreement on all disputed items, they shall promptly thereafter mutually engage and submit such dispute to an Independent Accounting Firm for final and binding resolution. The Independent Accounting Firm (i) shall consider only those items or amounts disputed by the Stockholder Representative in the Objection Notice which remain in dispute; (ii) shall not assign a value to any item or amount in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item or amount assigned by the Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item or amount assigned by the Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand; and (iii) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Independent Accounting Firms determination will be based solely on presentations by the Stockholder Representative and Parent which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of independent review) and the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and Parent as promptly as
practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of its retention) a written report setting forth its determination of the amounts in dispute. Such report shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (and paid) by the Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if closing accounts receivable is the only disputed item, and Parent claims that closing accounts receivable is $1,000 less than the amount determined by the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Parent, and if the independent accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Parent $300 of the $500 contested, then the cost of such review and report will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Stockholder Representative and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Parent.
(d) If the Cash Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, is less than the Estimated Cash Amount, then, within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Cash Amount, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Parent the amount of such difference from the Cash Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account; provided, that, if the Cash Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account is insufficient to cover the difference, then each Stockholder shall pay such Stockholders Pro Rata Portion of the shortfall within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Cash Amount to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Parent. If the Cash Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, is greater than the Estimated Cash Amount, then the amount of such excess shall be paid by Parent, within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Cash Amount, to each of the Stockholders and the Parent or the Second Surviving Corporation, on behalf of the Company Optionholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified in the Stockholder Transmittal Letters based on percentages specified on Closing Consideration Schedule.
2.8 Stockholder Representative Reserve.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, at the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause to be, deposited, in an account designated by the Stockholder Representative at least three Business Days prior to Closing, the Stockholder Representative Reserve, which shall be held by the Stockholder Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 2.8.
(b) The Stockholder Representative Reserve (and interest and earnings thereon) may be applied as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to defray, offset, or pay any charges, fees, costs, liabilities or expenses of the Stockholder Representative incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
(c) The balance of the Stockholder Representative Reserve held pursuant to this Section 2.8, if any, and interest and earnings earned thereon, shall be distributed to the Stockholders (excluding any Dissenting Stockholders) by the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative Reserve shall only be so distributed when the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution is appropriate. None of Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, the Company, the First Surviving Corporation, the Second Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility to the Stockholders with respect to the Stockholder Representative Reserve or the actions and responsibilities of the Stockholder Representative contemplated by this Section 2.8, and the Stockholders shall seek distribution of the Stockholder Representative Reserve solely from the Stockholder Representative.
2.9 Tax Consequences. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Mergers are intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties to this Agreement adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a). Each of Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company shall report the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. None of Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or the Company shall take any actions to prevent the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(iii) Except as specifically provided in Section 6.4(b), neither Parent or the Second Surviving Corporation, nor any of its Affiliates shall (or after the Closing, shall cause or permit the Second Surviving Corporation to) file, amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(i) Parent, the Second Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other partys request) the provision of records and information which may be reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest and making appropriate persons available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, the Second Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or Stockholder Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered
into with any Governmental Authority and (ii) to give to the other Person reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Person so requests, the Second Surviving Corporation or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other Person to take possession of such books and records.
(ii) Parent, the Second Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (Transfer Taxes) will be borne one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Stockholders. Each of the Parent and the Stockholder Representative hereby agrees to file, or cause to be filed, in a timely manner all necessary documents (including, but not limited to, all Tax Returns) with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Each of the Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall provide to each other with evidence satisfactory to the receiving party that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Parent and (or on behalf of) the Stockholders, as applicable.
(d) Tax Contests.
(i) Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon receipt by such party or any of their respective Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign audits, examinations, claims, assessments or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes of the Company (a Tax Contest) for which such party is entitled to seek, or is seeking or intends to seek, indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding Article VIII, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right, in good faith, to control and to represent the interests of the Company in and with respect to any Tax Contest for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its own choice for such purpose; provided, however, Parent shall be entitled to participate at its expense in or with respect to any such Tax Contest. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to settle or compromise, or agree to settle or compromise, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any Tax Contest for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, no such settlement, compromise or agreement shall be effectuated without Parents prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Parent shall have the right, in good faith, to control and to represent the interests of the Company in and with respect to any Tax Contest for any Straddle Period; provided, however, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to participate at its expense in or with respect to any such Tax Contest.

6.6 Publicity. Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon a joint initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall be disseminated at such time and in such manner as is agreed by Parent and the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.7 Confidentiality. As an owner of Company Capital Stock, each Stockholder has had access to and contributed to information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential Information) of the businesses of the Company. By executing a Stockholder Transmittal Letter, each Stockholder agrees that unless such Stockholder first secures the written consent of an authorized representative of Parent, such Stockholder shall not (except on behalf of Parent or pursuant to the terms of such Stockholders employment agreement with the Company or Parent) use for himself, herself, itself or anyone else, and shall not disclose to others, any Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company, except (a) to the extent necessary to comply with the Law, a Governmental Authority or a valid court order of a court with competent jurisdiction, in which event such Stockholder shall so notify Parent as promptly as is practicable (if possible, prior to making such disclosure) and shall seek confidential treatment of such information; (b) to its auditors and attorneys and similar professionals (provided, that, such Stockholder shall be liable in the event that any such permitted recipients disclose any information that such Stockholder would be prohibited from disclosing pursuant to this provision); or (c) in order to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) By executing a Stockholder Transmittal Letter, each Stockholder, on behalf of itself and the other Releasors, irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 6.8.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Second Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company (the Covered Parties) to the same extent and in the same manner and subject to the same limits as such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the DGCL, the Organizational Documents of the Company and any indemnification agreements set forth on Section 6.10 of the Disclosure Schedules, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company may purchase tail insurance coverage for the Companys directors and officers in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, which provides such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Closing Date with respect to claims arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (the D&O Tail Policy).

6.11 Further Assurances. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the parties agree, both before and after the Closing, (a) to use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (b) to execute any documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be

6.12 Legal Representation. All communications involving attorney-client confidences among the Company Entities and Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Stockholders (and not the First Surviving Corporation, Second Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including Parent) and may be controlled by the Stockholder Representative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) the Stockholders and their Affiliates (and not the First Surviving Corporation, Second Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including Parent) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the Pre-Merger Communications), and none of the First Surviving Corporation, Second Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including Parent) will be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. with respect to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute property of the client, only the Stockholders and their Affiliates will hold such property rights and (c) Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. will not have any duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose the Pre-Merger Communications or files pertaining to the Pre-Merger Communications to the First Surviving Corporation, Second Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including Parent) by reason of any attorney-client relationship between any of Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. and the Company or otherwise.

In the event that Parent is legally required or requested by governmental order or otherwise (any such request or order, a Legal Request) to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Pre-Merger Communications, Parent shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Pre-Merger Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such Legal Request. In the event of any Legal Request, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative in writing (prior to the disclosure by Parent of any Pre-Merger Communications to the extent practicable) so that the Stockholder Representative can seek a protective order and Parent agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts (at the sole cost and expense of the Stockholder Representative) to assist therewith.
6.13 Employee Benefits.

Capital, honor all vacation, paid time off, holiday and sick time accrued and unused by each such Company Continuing Employee as of the Closing, in each case, except as would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan in which Company Continuing Employees participate effective as of the Closing that is a welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusion, waiting periods, or evidence of insurability requirements that apply to such Company Continuing Employees and (ii) provide each such Company Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and other out of pocket expenses incurred under the Companys welfare benefit plan during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying the co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses under the corresponding Parent Benefit Plans.
(c) Nothing in this Section 6.13 shall (i) be construed as an amendment or other modification of any Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, (ii) without limiting the generality of Section 10.17, give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or (iii) limit the right of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or the Company to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan.

To the extent required to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver, among other items, to its stockholders a disclosure statement intended to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. The form of waiver, solicitation of approval, and disclosure materials shall be subject to the approval of Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

8.6 Effect of Knowledge or Waiver of Condition. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

With respect to Losses recovered from the Escrow Account, Parent shall (i) recover 36% of the Losses from the Cash Escrow Amount and (ii) recover 64% of the Losses from the Stock Escrow Amount; provided, that, to the extent that either the Cash Escrow Amount or the Stock Escrow Amount has been exhausted, or Losses recoverable in accordance with the foregoing sentence exceed the then-remaining available amount of either the Cash Escrow Amount or the Stock Escrow Amount, the foregoing sentence shall not apply, and Parent shall be
permitted to recover Losses from any amount of cash or Parent Stock remaining from either the Cash Escrow Amount or the Stock Escrow Amount; and provided, further, that Losses recoverable in respect of the matters set forth on Section 4.21(f) of the Disclosure Schedules shall be recoverable solely from the Cash Escrow Amount.

No Equityholder shall assert any claims against any directors and officers insurance policy maintained or to be maintained by or for the benefit of the Company, the First Surviving Corporation or the Second Surviving Corporation in respect of amounts due by the Stockholder to any Parent Indemnitee under this Article VIII or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. From and after the First Effective Time, the Equityholders, hereby irrevocably waive and release the First Surviving Corporation and the Second Surviving Corporation from any such right of contribution or right of indemnity from or against the First Surviving Corporation and the Second Surviving Corporation with respect to indemnification payments to Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement.

8.10 Tax Consequences of Payments. Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VIII (or pursuant to Section 6.4) will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties shall file their respective Tax Returns accordingly and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.
8.11 Losses Net of Insurance. Any Losses otherwise indemnifiable under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payments actually recovered by a Parent Indemnitee or a Stockholder Indemnitee, as applicable, in respect of such Losses (but net of costs of collection, deductibles and premium increases resulting from such recovery). Prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement, a Parent Indemnitee or
Stockholder Indemnitee, as applicable, shall consider in good faith seeking recovery under applicable insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses to the same extent it would if such Loss were its own and not subject to indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, a Parent Indemnitee or Stockholder Indemnitee shall not be subject to any liability for failing to seek recovery under any insurance policy prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1
Teladoc to acquire HealthiestYou
LEWISVILLE, Texas (June 30, 2016) Teladoc, Inc. (NYSE: TDOC), the first and largest telehealth platform in the United States, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire HealthiestYou, a leader in mobile patient engagement, based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
HealthiestYou is the leading telehealth consumer engagement technology platform for the small- to mid-sized employer market. HealthiestYou offers members a suite of tools to easily control their health care access and costs, including physician locator, prescription pricing and benefits lookup, all through a fully-integrated, best-in-class interface. Teladocs highly scalable infrastructure will immediately provide the telemedicine services to HealthiestYous product suite.
This is a unique opportunity to combine two leaders in the telehealth industry who share a common philosophy of driving telemedicine engagement and enabling consumers to take charge of their own health care decisions, said Jason Gorevic, Teladoc chief executive officer. Teladocs and HealthiestYous solutions are highly complementary and together will provide richer offerings, higher levels of consumer engagement and accelerated ROI for our partners.
HealthiestYou generated 2015 revenues of $10 million, and approximately $8 million for the first six months of 2016. It was net-loss and EBITDA break-even for 2015 and for the first six months of 2016. Teladoc reiterates its previously communicated commitment to achieving adjusted EBITDA break-even in the fourth quarter of 2017.
This acquisition brings a strong, highly incremental distribution network, and a sophisticated broker enrollment portal that enables simple and streamlined administration, strengthening Teladocs position in the fragmented small- and medium-sized employer market the most underpenetrated segment in telemedicine. This high-growth segment represents more than 50 percent of employed Americans, and is primarily facilitated through broker networks.
Acquiring HealthiestYou helps us to build upon our goal of offering a broad suite of solutions to our employer and health plan partners, all with a common goal of providing consumers with better access to high quality care at a lower cost, added Gorevic.
Jim Prendergast, Co-Founder of HealthiestYou, commented, For years, HealthiestYou has focused on making health care simpler to access and easier to understand. Marrying both companys innovative engagement and utilization strategies, technology and service offerings will deliver on our shared goal of providing the highest quality of care through easy access to deliver significant cost savings.
Andrew Lindner, Managing Partner of Frontier, a major HealthiestYou shareholder, commented, We are excited to join forces with a pioneer and leader in the industry, Teladoc. HealthiestYous explosive growth, industry-leading utilization, and traction with mid-market
employers, combined with Teladocs highly scalable infrastructure and proven execution capabilities, will extend Teladocs already substantial leadership position in the telehealth industry.
Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price consists of $45 million cash and 6.96 million shares of Teladocs common stock. The stock component was calculated by dividing $80 million by the average of the closing prices for Teladoc stock for the 60 trading days prior to June 28. The $45 million cash component will be funded in its entirety with Teladocs recently expanded bank facility. Piper Jaffray acted as exclusive financial advisor to Teladoc on this transaction. William Blair & Co. acted as exclusive financial advisor to HealthiestYou. Teladoc expects the acquisition of HealthiestYou to close on July 1.
Business Outlook
Teladoc updated its outlook for the full year 2016:
· Our previously communicated revenue expectation ranged from $118 to $122 million dollars and is now increasing to a new range of $126 million to $130 million.
· For the full year 2016, we confirm an expected net loss of $51.8 million to $53.8 million. With the issuance of additional shares for this acquisition, we expect our net loss per share that had been previously communicated as a range between $1.33 and $1.38 to now range from a net loss per share of $1.22 to $1.27, based on a weighted average of 42.5 million shares outstanding.
· Our guidance for our Adjusted EBITDA loss range of $35 million to $37 million remains unchanged.
· Our Membership, which we had expected to total approximately 16.5 million to 17.5 million members now increase to a predicted range of 17 million to 18 million members.
· Our previously communicated outlook for total 2016 visits was 880,000 to 900,000 and is now increased to 915,000 to 945,000.
The acquisition of HealthiestYou does not change Teladocs timeline to profitability and the company is still targeting adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the fourth quarter of 2017.
