Evolent Health, Inc. Announces Pricing of Oversubscribed and Upsized $145.0 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2031

to Repurchase Existing Notes and Class A Common Stock

WASHINGTON, August 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH), a

company focused on achieving better health outcomes for people with complex conditions ("Evolent"), today announced the pricing of $145.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2031. The notes are

being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Evolent has also granted the initial purchasers in the

offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $21.75 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Evolent has increased the size of the offering from $140.0 million to $145.0 million (or

$166.75 million if the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised in full).

Key terms of the transactions include:

John Johnson, Evolent's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "This transaction

helps Evolent avoid over $9 million of annual interest expense when compared to retiring the 2025 notes with our committed incremental credit facilities, while minimizing shareholder dilution with an effective conversion premium over 130% as a

result of the concurrent share repurchase, assuming the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised in full. After the retirement of our 2025 notes, Evolent has no maturities until 2029, and we remain committed to our

stated capital allocation priority of deploying cash generation to paying down debt."

Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to

Evolent's ability to terminate the conversion rights on or after August 20, 2026 as described below, the notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately

preceding the maturity date.

On or after August 20, 2026, Evolent may terminate the conversion rights of the notes if (i) for any conversion rights

termination date occurring on or after August 20, 2026 and prior to, but not including, August 21, 2028, the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock has been, at least 150% of the conversion price for at least 20

trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) prior to Evolent's delivery of notice of such termination of conversion rights or (ii) for any conversion rights termination date

occurring on or after August 21, 2028, the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 days during the 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last

trading day of such period) prior to Evolent's delivery of notice of such termination of conversion rights.

Holders of the notes may require

Evolent to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a "fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture that will govern the notes) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus any accrued

and unpaid interest. Evolent may not redeem the notes unless and until holders' conversion rights have been terminated at its election. However, if holders' conversion rights have been terminated, Evolent may redeem for cash all or a

portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Evolent estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $140.2 million (or

approximately $161.2 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting fees and estimated expenses payable by Evolent.

Evolent expects to use approximately $100.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering, plus available liquidity, to repurchase approximately

$167.4 million aggregate principal of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") for approximately $167.6 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the notes. Evolent also

expects to use approximately $40.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Evolent's Class A common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering in privately negotiated transactions. If the

initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Evolent expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to reduce the amount of available liquidity required to repurchase or repay the 2025 Notes.

In connection with the concurrent share repurchase described above, Evolent has agreed to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock sold short by initial

investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock on

August 18, 2025, which was $9.02 per share. These repurchases could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock or the notes. In the case of repurchases effected concurrently

with the offering, this activity could affect the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes, and could result in a higher effective conversion price for the notes.

In connection with the repurchases of the 2025 Notes described above, Evolent expects that holders of the 2025 Notes who agree to have their 2025 Notes

repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such 2025 Notes will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying Evolent's Class A common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions

with respect to Evolent's Class A common stock. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock, including concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the

notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the notes. Evolent cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or Evolent's Class A common stock and the

corresponding effect on the initial conversion price of the notes.

Consummation of the sale of the notes is subject to customary closing conditions, and

there can be no assurance that the offering of the notes will be consummated. Settlement is expected to occur on August 21, 2025.

shares of Class A common stock of Evolent issuable upon conversion of the notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except

pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not

constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to

the registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
