Repurchases of Convertible Notes
On November 16, 2023, Accolade, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) approximately $76.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $65.8 million.
The Repurchases are expected to close on or about November 21, 2023, subject to certain closing conditions. Following the closing of the Repurchases, the Company intends to cancel the repurchased Notes and, after such cancellation of repurchased Notes, approximately $211.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “maintain,” “might,” “likely,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Important risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings, which should be read in conjunction with any forward-looking statements.
