ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of  Talkspace, Inc. (the “Company”), held on October 10, 2023, the Company’s stockholders: (i) did not approve the proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) such that all directors stand for election annually; (ii) elected Curtis Warfield, Jacqueline Yeaney and Michael Hansen to serve as Class II directors until the 2026 annual meeting of the stockholders or until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified, (iii) ratified the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabby & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year 2023; and (iv) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Further information regarding all of these proposals is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2023. The total number of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting was 166,516,177, of which 130,927,394 shares, or 78.62%, voted.

The Company’s independent inspector of elections reported the vote of the stockholders as follows:

Proposal 1: To approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors:

For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
82,062,228	237,293	761,258	47,866,615

With respect to the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors, the proposal received a substantial favorable vote at the Annual Meeting, but did not receive the vote required for approval, which is the affirmative vote of at least 66.66% of the total outstanding voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
