MERGER PROPOSEDYOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Stockholders of Yodlee, Inc.:
As previously announced, on August 10, 2015, Yodlee, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Yodlee"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the "merger agreement") with Envestnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Envestnet"), and Yale Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee (the "merger") and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. If the merger is consummated, Yodlee will no longer be a publicly held corporation.
The merger requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee's common stock, par value $0.001 ("Yodlee common stock"). We are asking you to vote to adopt the merger agreement. If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is completed, each share of Yodlee common stock (other than (i) shares of Yodlee common stock as to which the holders thereof have properly exercised appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and (ii) shares of Yodlee common stock owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet) will be converted into the right to receive (i) $10.78 in cash and (ii) the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Envestnet common stock, par value $0.005 ("Envestnet common stock"), as set forth in the merger agreement and described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Your vote is very important. The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting of Yodlee stockholders (the "Yodlee special meeting") to consider the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is October 12, 2015. We cannot complete the merger unless Yodlee stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock as of the close of business on the record date vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement at the Yodlee special meeting. Whether or not you expect to attend the Yodlee special meeting in person, if you are the record holder of shares of Yodlee common stock, we urge you to submit a proxy to vote your shares as promptly as possible by either: (1) logging onto the website provided on your proxy card and following the instructions; (2) dialing the phone number on your proxy card and listening for further directions; or (3) signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, so that your shares may be represented and voted at the Yodlee special meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction card furnished by the record holder, as appropriate.
In addition, at the Yodlee special meeting you also will be asked to approve the adjournment of the Yodlee special meeting under certain circumstances.
The Yodlee Board of Directors (the "Yodlee Board") has unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (ii) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (iii) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (iv) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the merger agreement in accordance with the DGCL, and (v) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals set forth above.
The obligations of Envestnet and Yodlee to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions set forth in the merger agreement. More information about Envestnet, Yodlee, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.
For a discussion of risk factors that you should consider in evaluating the merger, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 62 of this proxy statement/prospectus. The market price of Envestnet common stock will continue to fluctuate following the date of the Yodlee special meeting. Consequently, at the time of the Yodlee special meeting, the value of the stock consideration will not yet be determined.
We urge you to read the attached proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety.
Sincerely, | ||

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held On November 19, 2015
Dear Stockholders of Yodlee, Inc.:
Envestnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Envestnet"), Yale Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet ("Merger Sub"), and Yodlee, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Yodlee"), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee (the "merger") and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. We are pleased to invite you to attend a special meeting of stockholders of Yodlee (the "Yodlee special meeting") that is being held in connection with the merger. The Yodlee special meeting will be held at Yodlee's principal executive offices located at 3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200, Redwood City, CA 94065 on November 19, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., California time, to consider and vote upon the following matters:
Yodlee stockholders will have the right to receive merger consideration upon completion of the merger for each of their shares of Yodlee common stock, par value $0.001 ("Yodlee common stock"), in the form of cash and shares of Envestnet common stock, par value $0.005 ("Envestnet common stock"). However, because the value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Envestnet common stock, Yodlee stockholders will not know at the time that they vote on the adoption of the merger agreement the number of shares of Envestnet common stock they will receive in the merger.
Completion of the merger is conditioned on, among other things, adoption of the merger agreement by Yodlee stockholders. It is the parties' expectation that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the closing of the merger, the merger will be consummated within three business days following the Yodlee special meeting. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of Envestnet and Yodlee could result in the closing of the merger being completed a substantial amount of time after the date on which the Yodlee special meeting is held.
Yodlee will transact no other business at the Yodlee special meeting except such business as may properly be brought before the Yodlee special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Please refer to the proxy statement/prospectus of which this notice forms a part for further information with respect to the business to be transacted at the Yodlee special meeting.
The Yodlee Board has unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (ii) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (iii) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (iv) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the merger agreement in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and (v) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's
stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals set forth above.
The Yodlee Board has fixed the close of business on October 12, 2015 as the record date for determination of Yodlee stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Yodlee special meeting or any adjournments thereof. Only holders of record of Yodlee common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Yodlee special meeting. A list of the names of Yodlee stockholders of record will be available for ten days prior to the Yodlee special meeting for any purpose germane to the Yodlee special meeting between the regular business hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., California time, at Yodlee's headquarters, 3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200, Redwood City, CA 94065. The Yodlee stockholder list will also be available at the Yodlee special meeting during the whole time thereof for examination by any stockholder present at such meeting.
Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock as of the record date for the Yodlee special meeting. Approval of the proposal to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve such proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting and present in person or represented by proxy.
Your vote is very important. Whether or not you expect to attend the Yodlee special meeting in person, if you are the record holder of shares of Yodlee common stock, we urge you to submit a proxy to vote your shares as promptly as possible by either: (1) logging onto the website provided on your proxy card and following the instructions; (2) dialing the phone number on your proxy card and listening for further directions; or (3) signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, so that your shares may be represented and voted at the Yodlee special meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction card furnished by the record holder, as appropriate.
The enclosed proxy statement/prospectus provides a detailed description of the merger and the merger agreement. We urge you to read carefully and in their entirety the proxy statement/prospectus of which this notice forms a part, including any documents incorporated by reference, and the Appendices. In particular, we urge you to carefully read the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 62 of the attached proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, any statements that refer to projections of Envestnet's future or Yodlee's financial performance, Envestnet's or Yodlee's anticipated growth and trends in Envestnet's or Yodlee's business and other characteristics of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements could be affected by factors, including, without limitation:

In addition, there may be other factors of which Envestnet and Yodlee are not presently aware or that Envestnet and Yodlee currently deem immaterial that could cause the actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and documents incorporated herein by reference are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Envestnet and Yodlee do not intend to update or otherwise revise the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
AND THE YODLEE SPECIAL MEETING
The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the merger, the merger agreement and the Yodlee special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a Yodlee stockholder. Please refer to the section entitled "Summary" beginning on page 16 of this proxy statement/prospectus and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus and the documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus, which you should read carefully and in their entirety. You may obtain the information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus without charge by following the instructions under the section entitled "Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on page 1 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card?
Yodlee is holding the Yodlee special meeting to ask its stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement. Yodlee stockholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve such proposal.
This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about the merger and the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the Yodlee special meeting. Yodlee stockholders should read this information carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed voting materials allow stockholders to vote their shares without attending the Yodlee special meeting in person.
Q: Does my vote matter?
Q: What is the vote required to approve each proposal at the Yodlee special meeting?
6
with instructions (a "broker non-vote"), as applicable, this will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement.
The approval of adjournments of the Yodlee special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Yodlee special meeting to adopt the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Yodlee common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST the adjournment proposal, and failures to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect.
See the sections entitled "The Yodlee Special MeetingQuorum" beginning on page 93 of this proxy statement/prospectus and "Required Vote" beginning on page 94 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: How does the Yodlee Board recommend that I vote at the Yodlee special meeting?
Q: What will I receive if the merger is completed?
In the event that the aggregate number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable upon completion of the merger plus the maximum number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Envestnet common stock subject to restricted stock awards of Envestnet issuable pursuant to the merger agreement (the "total stock amount"), would be equal to or greater than 19.9% of the shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time (such amount, the "stock threshold"), the per share stock consideration will be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the total stock amount will not exceed the stock threshold. In that event, the per share cash consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such
7
reduction in the per share stock consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Envestnet stock value; provided that (i) the aggregate per share cash consideration will in no event be increased by greater than $32.0 million and (ii) the total stock amount will in no event exceed the stock threshold.
As a result of the various limitations described above, the per share stock consideration will never be less than 0.1699 shares of Envestnet common stock or more than 0.1861 shares of Envestnet common stock. Furthermore, if the Envestnet stock value is at or below $43.52, the per share cash consideration will begin to increase until the Envestnet stock value is at $39.01 at which time the per share cash consideration would be fixed at $11.7579.
Q: What is the value of the per share consideration?
Q: What happens if I am eligible to receive a fraction of a share of Envestnet common stock as part of the merger consideration?
Q: What will holders of Yodlee equity awards receive in the merger?

At the effective time, each such share of Yodlee common stock will be converted into the right to receive the sum of the per share cash consideration and per share stock consideration described above.
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested stock option will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested stock option.
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested RSUs will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested RSU.
To the extent that the treatment of the Yodlee equity awards in the merger that are subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in adverse tax consequences to the award holder, Yodlee, the surviving corporation, and/or Envestnet, Yodlee and Envestnet may adjust the treatment of such affected equity awards to so comply or avoid adverse tax consequences in a manner that yields the award holder the intended economic benefit as described above.
Q: What will happen to Yodlee as a result of the merger?
9
Q: What equity stake will Yodlee stockholders hold in Envestnet immediately following the merger?
Q: When do you expect the merger to be completed?

For a more detailed discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the transaction, please see the section entitled "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 166 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Who can vote at the Yodlee special meeting?
Q: When and where is the Yodlee special meeting?
Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name," and your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee will send you, as the beneficial owner, a package describing the procedure for voting your shares. You should follow the instructions provided by them to vote your shares. You are invited to attend the Yodlee special meeting; however, you may not vote these shares in person at the Yodlee special meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Yodlee special meeting.
Q: How do I vote in person at the Yodlee special meeting?
If you hold your shares in "street name," you must bring a proxy executed in your favor from the record holder (your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee) of the shares authorizing you to vote at the Yodlee special meeting. In addition, you will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a recent account statement or letter from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, along with proper identification to gain admission to the Yodlee special meeting.
11
Q: If my shares of Yodlee common stock are held in "street name" by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me?
Q: How many votes do I have?
Q: What constitutes a quorum for the Yodlee special meeting?
If a quorum is not present, then (i) the chairperson of the Yodlee special meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn the Yodlee special meeting from time to time, without notice other than by announcement at the Yodlee special meeting, to another date, place, if any, and time until a quorum shall be present or represented.
Q: How do I vote?
12
We encourage you to submit your proxy as soon as possible to ensure that your shares will be represented and voted at the Yodlee special meeting. Submitting a proxy will not affect the right of any Yodlee stockholder to vote in person.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a "street name" stockholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. If you are a "street name" stockholder, you may not vote your shares in person at the Yodlee special meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Q: How can I change or revoke my vote?
If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to change your vote.
Q: If I give a proxy, how are the shares of Yodlee common stock voted?
If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement and "FOR" adjournments of the Yodlee special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Yodlee special meeting to adopt the merger agreement. Only shares of Yodlee common stock affirmatively voted for the applicable proposal, and properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions, will be counted as favorable votes for adoption of the merger agreement and the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as votes "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal.

Yale Merger Corp.
Merger Sub is a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. Upon completion of the merger in which Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee (the "merger"), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. Merger Sub's address is c/o Envestnet, Inc., 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois 60601 and its telephone number is (312) 827-2800.
Envestnet, Merger Sub and Yodlee have entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 10, 2015 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "merger agreement"), attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Envestnet and Yodlee encourage you to read the entire merger agreement carefully because it is the principal document governing the merger and the stock issuance.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), at the effective time (the "effective time") of the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will continue as the surviving corporation and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet (the "surviving corporation").
At the effective time of the merger, Yodlee stockholders will have the right to receive the merger consideration (as defined below) for each of their shares of Yodlee common stock in the form of cash and shares of Envestnet common stock, without interest. If the aggregate consideration to be paid to any holder of Yodlee common stock would result in such holder receiving a fractional share of Envestnet common stock, cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional share.
At the effective time, by virtue of the merger, each share of Yodlee common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, except for (i) shares of Yodlee common stock as to which the holders thereof have not voted in favor of the merger or consented thereto in writing and have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal and (ii) shares of Yodlee common stock owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, (A) $10.78 in cash (the "per share cash consideration") and (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Envestnet common stock, determined by dividing $8.10 by the volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten full trading days ending on and including the second full trading day prior to the closing of the merger, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement (such volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock, the "Envestnet stock value," and such number of shares of Envestnet common stock, the "per share stock consideration," together with the per share cash consideration, the "merger consideration"). However, if the Envestnet stock value is less than $39.006,
17
then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $39.006 and if the Envestnet stock value is greater than $47.674, then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $47.674. The market prices of shares of Envestnet common stock are subject to fluctuation. As a result, you are urged to obtain current market quotations.
To the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable pursuant to the foregoing paragraph plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Envestnet common stock subject to restricted stock awards of Envestnet issuable pursuant to the merger agreement (the sum of the amounts in clauses (A) and (B), the "total stock amount"), would be equal to or greater than 19.9% of the shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time (such amount, the "stock threshold"), the per share stock consideration will be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the total stock amount will not exceed the stock threshold. In such event, the per share cash consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the per share stock consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Envestnet stock value; provided that (i) the aggregate per share cash consideration will in no event be increased by greater than $32,000,000 and (ii) the total stock amount will in no event exceed the stock threshold.
As a result of the various limitations described above, the per share stock consideration will never be less than 0.1699 shares of Envestnet common stock or more than 0.1861 shares of Envestnet common stock. Furthermore, if the Envestnet stock value is at or below $43.52, the per share cash consideration will begin to increase until the Envestnet stock value is at $39.01 at which time the per share cash consideration would be fixed at $11.7579.
The table set forth under "The Merger AgreementConsideration to be Received in the Merger", beginning on page 146, sets forth the per share cash consideration, per share stock consideration for various Envestnet stock values and aggregate value of the merger consideration (assuming the trading price of the Envestnet common stock is equal to the Envestnet stock value) at various Envestnet stock values.
For more information, see the section entitled "The Merger AgreementConsideration to be Received in the Merger" beginning on page 146 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
At the effective time, Yodlee equity awards will be treated as follows:
18
options") will be assumed by Envestnet and converted into awards of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. The number of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock that will be granted in exchange for each unvested Yodlee stock option will be equal to:
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested stock option will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested stock option.
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested RSUs will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested RSU.
To the extent that the treatment of the Yodlee equity awards in the merger that are subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in adverse tax consequences to the award holder, Yodlee, the surviving corporation, and/or Envestnet, Yodlee and Envestnet may adjust the treatment of such affected equity awards to so comply or avoid adverse tax consequences in a manner that yields the award holder the intended economic benefit as described above.
For more information, see the section entitled "The Merger AgreementTreatment of Yodlee Equity Awards" beginning on page 149 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain stockholders of Yodlee, consisting of funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus, entered into a voting agreement with Envestnet, a form of which is attached as Appendix B (the "voting agreement"). Pursuant to the voting agreement, such stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Yodlee common stock (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the merger agreement and all other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (whether or not recommended by the Yodlee Board (the "Yodlee Board")); (ii) against any action or agreement upon which Yodlee calls its stockholders to vote or consent in breach of the merger agreement; and (iii) against any acquisition proposal or any proposal for any recapitalization,
19
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of Yodlee's assets or other business combination between Yodlee and any other person (other than the merger) that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the merger and all other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These stockholders further agreed to (i) certain restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer, tender or other disposition of their shares of Yodlee common stock and (ii) waiver and non-pursuit of any appraisal rights with respect to the merger. As of the record date (as defined below), the stockholders who entered into the voting agreement with Envestnet collectively beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 8,160,691 shares of Yodlee common stock, which represent approximately 26.5% of outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting. More than 50% of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock must vote for the merger for it to be approved.
The Yodlee Board has unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") delivered its opinion to the Yodlee Board that, as of August 10, 2015 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Yodlee common stock.
The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated August 10, 2015, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Appendix C. Goldman Sachs provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the Yodlee Board in connection with its consideration of the merger agreement. The Goldman Sachs opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of Yodlee common stock should vote with respect to the merger agreement or any other matter. Pursuant to an engagement letter between Yodlee and Goldman Sachs, Yodlee has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs a transaction fee of approximately $7 million, all of which is payable upon completion of the merger.
Executive officers and members of the Yodlee Board have interests in the merger that may be in addition to, or different from, the interests of Yodlee stockholders generally. The Yodlee Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger and the merger agreement and in making the recommendations that the Yodlee stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
For more information, see the section entitled "The MergerInterests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" beginning on page 126 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger is subject to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated under the HSR Act, acquisitions of a sufficient size may not be completed unless information has been furnished to the Department of Justice and to the Federal Trade Commission, and applicable waiting period requirements have been satisfied or early termination of the waiting period has been granted.
20
Both Envestnet and Yodlee filed the required notification and report forms on September 1, 2015 and early termination of the waiting period was granted on September 14, 2015.
Under the merger agreement, Envestnet and Yodlee have agreed to cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to complete the merger; however, neither Envestnet nor Yodlee is required to take, or commit to take, any action or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with such regulatory clearances that would reasonably be likely to result in a "Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition," which includes, among other things, the transfer or disposition of assets or a limitation on the ability of Envestnet or Yodlee to conduct their respective businesses.
The closing of the merger will occur no later than three business days after all of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived, or at such other date as agreed to by Yodlee and Envestnet. The merger will become effective at the effective time when the applicable certificate of merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at a later time as agreed to by Yodlee and Envestnet and specified in the certificate of merger. Envestnet and Yodlee hope to complete the merger as soon as reasonably practicable and expect the closing of the merger to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015. However, as the merger is subject to various regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions described in the merger agreement, it is possible that factors outside the control of Envestnet and Yodlee could result in the merger being completed at an earlier time, a later time or not at all.
The obligations of Envestnet and Yodlee to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
The respective obligations of Envestnet, Merger Sub and Yodlee to consummate the merger will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible under applicable law) prior to the effective time, of each of the following conditions:
21
In addition, the obligations of Envestnet and Merger Sub to consummate the merger will also be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:
In addition, the obligations of Yodlee to consummate the merger will also be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:
22
the merger agreement and as of the date of the closing of the merger (except for those representations and warranties which address matters only as of an earlier date, the truth and correctness of which will be determined as of such earlier date), except for any failure to be so true and correct that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Envestnet;
The merger agreement precludes Yodlee from soliciting, engaging in discussions or negotiations with or providing confidential or non-public information or data to a third party with respect to any of certain acquisition proposals, including the acquisition of a significant interest in Yodlee common stock or assets. However, if Yodlee receives an unsolicited written proposal from a third party (which proposal was not received in violation of Yodlee's non-solicitation obligations) for an acquisition proposal that the Yodlee Board, among other things, (i) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a proposal that is superior to the merger and (ii) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors) with respect to which the failure to enter into discussions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, Yodlee may, subject to certain conditions, including providing notice to Envestnet, furnish non-public information to and engage in discussions with such third party regarding such acquisition proposal.
See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementNo Solicitation" beginning on page 156 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of Yodlee's covenant not to solicit alternative acquisition proposals.
Yodlee, Envestnet and Merger Sub may terminate the merger agreement by mutual written consent at any time before the effective time. In addition, with certain exceptions, either Yodlee or Envestnet may terminate the merger agreement at any time before the consummation of the merger if:
23
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement; or
Envestnet may also terminate the merger agreement if, prior to obtaining the requisite company vote:
Yodlee may also terminate the merger agreement prior to obtaining the requisite company vote to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal after an adverse recommendation change by the Yodlee Board, if (i) Yodlee has satisfied the specified requirements and conditions concerning notification of an adverse recommendation change and negotiation with Envestnet and (ii) concurrently with the termination of the merger agreement, Yodlee pays to Envestnet the termination fee.
See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementTermination of the Merger Agreement" beginning on page 163 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of the rights of each of Envestnet and Yodlee to terminate the merger agreement.
Each party will generally pay all fees and expenses it incurs by it in connection with the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, except that Envestnet and Yodlee will share equally all fees and expenses in relation to the printing, filing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus and any filing or other fees paid to the SEC, in each case in connection with the merger.
In certain circumstances in connection with the termination of the merger agreement, Yodlee must pay to Envestnet a termination fee equal to $17.8 million.
See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementExpenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach" beginning on page 164 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of the circumstances under which such termination fees and/or expense reimbursement will be required to be paid.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") require the merger to be accounted for using acquisition accounting pursuant to which Envestnet has been determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The combined company will allocate the total purchase consideration to Yodlee's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of the completion of the merger. Any excess purchase price after this allocation will be assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. Upon consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of the combined company will reflect only the operations and financial
24
condition of Envestnet. The operating results of Yodlee will be reported as part of the combined company beginning on the date of the merger.
Final valuations of Yodlee's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been completed. The completion of the valuation upon consummation of the merger could result in significantly different amortization expenses and balance sheet amounts than those presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of Yodlee common stock who comply with the applicable requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and do not otherwise withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Delaware law have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of Yodlee common stock, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, if the merger is completed. The "fair value" of shares of Yodlee common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the value of the merger consideration per share that Yodlee stockholders are otherwise entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement. Holders of Yodlee common stock who do not consent to the adoption of the merger agreement and who wish to preserve their appraisal rights must so advise Yodlee by submitting a demand for appraisal within the period prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL after receiving this notice from Yodlee that appraisal rights are available to them, and must otherwise precisely follow the procedures prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL. Failure to follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss or waiver of appraisal rights under Delaware law. A person having a beneficial interest in shares of Yodlee common stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus and in a timely manner to perfect appraisal rights. In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, Yodlee stockholders who may wish to pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal and financial advisors. Please see the section entitled "The MergerAppraisal Rights" beginning on page 139 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Yodlee, each of the members of the Yodlee Board, Envestnet and Merger Sub have been named as defendants in a putative class action challenging the merger in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Suman Inala v. Yodlee, Inc., et al. (Case No. 11461) (filed September 2, 2015). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Yodlee Board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to ensure that Yodlee stockholders received adequate and fair value for their shares. The complaint also alleges that Envestnet and Merger Sub have aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiff seeks as relief, among other things, an injunction against the merger, rescission of the merger agreement to the extent it is already implemented, an award of damages and attorneys' fees. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit.
The shares of Envestnet common stock to be issued in the merger will be listed for trading on the NYSE.
Upon completion of the merger, shares of Yodlee common stock will cease to be listed on NASDAQ and will subsequently be deregistered under the Exchange Act.
25
See the sections entitled "The MergerListing of Envestnet Shares" and "The MergerDelisting and Deregistration of Yodlee Common Stock" for a further discussion of the listing of Envestnet shares and de-listing of Yodlee common stock in connection with the merger.
The receipt of cash and Envestnet common stock for shares of Yodlee common stock pursuant to the merger generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The receipt of cash and stock by a U.S. Holder (as defined under the section entitled "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 166 of this proxy statement/prospectus) in exchange for such U.S. Holder's shares of Yodlee common stock in the merger generally will result in the recognition of gain or loss in an amount measured by the difference between the cash and the fair market value of the Envestnet common stock such U.S. Holder receives in the merger and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Yodlee common stock surrendered in the merger. A Non-U.S. Holder (as defined under the section entitled "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 166 of this proxy statement/prospectus) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of Yodlee common stock for cash and Envestnet common stock in the merger unless such Non-U.S. Holder has certain connections to the United States. Stockholders should refer to the discussion in the section entitled "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences," beginning on page 166 of this proxy statement/prospectus and consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the merger in light of their particular circumstances and any consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
The Yodlee special meeting will be held at Yodlee's principal executive offices located at 3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200, Redwood City, California 94065, on November 19, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., California time, to consider and vote upon the following matters:
Completion of the merger is conditioned on, among other things, adoption of the merger agreement.
Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock as of the record date for the Yodlee special meeting. Approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Yodlee special meeting. The approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal is not a condition to completion of the merger.
Only holders of record of Yodlee common stock at the close of business on October 12, 2015, the Yodlee record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Yodlee special meeting or any adjournments thereof. At the close of business on the Yodlee record date, 30,819,117 shares of Yodlee common stock were issued and outstanding, approximately 27.8% of which were beneficially owned by Yodlee's directors and executive officers and their affiliates (excluding shares of Yodlee common stock subject to stock options and/or restricted stock units that were not exercised or vested as of the record date). As long as the voting agreements remain in effect, approximately 8,160,691 shares of Yodlee
26
common stock, which represented approximately 26.5% of the total outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock, are committed to be voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. See the section entitled "The Voting Agreement" beginning on page 165 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Under the merger agreement, Yodlee may, without the prior consent of Envestnet, postpone or adjourn its special meeting to the extent necessary in order to conduct business at the Yodlee special meeting if (i) as of November 19, 2015, there are insufficient shares of Yodlee common stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Yodlee special meeting, or if on the date of such special meeting Yodlee has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the stockholders' approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, (ii) Yodlee is required to postpone or adjourn the Yodlee special meeting by applicable law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (iii) Yodlee has sent to its stockholders or otherwise made available to them any new material information or disclosure since the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and Yodlee or the Yodlee Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Yodlee special meeting in order to give the stockholders of Yodlee sufficient time to evaluate any such new material information or disclosure.
The Yodlee Board has unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders. The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement and "FOR" the Yodlee adjournment proposal. See the section entitled "The Yodlee Special Meeting" beginning on page 92 of this proxy statement/prospectus for further discussion of the Yodlee special meeting.
The rights of Yodlee stockholders are governed by Yodlee's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, which we refer to as the Yodlee charter, and amended and restated bylaws, as amended, which we refer to as the Yodlee bylaws, and by Delaware corporate law. The rights of Envestnet stockholders are governed by Envestnet's fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation and its bylaws, which we refer to as the Envestnet charter and the Envestnet bylaws, respectively, and by Delaware corporate law. Your rights under the Yodlee charter and the Yodlee bylaws will differ in some respects from your rights under the Envestnet charter and the Envestnet bylaws. For more detailed information regarding a comparison of your rights as a stockholder of Yodlee and Envestnet, see the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholders' Rights" beginning on page 175 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Envestnet and Merger Sub have not historically paid any dividends on common stock and do not presently anticipate paying any dividends on their common stock in the foreseeable future.
Yodlee
Yodlee has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Yodlee is permitted to pay holders of its common stock dividends consistent with the merger agreement. Otherwise, Yodlee is generally prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock during the pendency of the merger.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA OF ENVESTNET
You should read the following selected historical consolidated financial data together with Envestnet's financial statements and related notes and the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of Envestnet's periodic reports incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. Envestnet derived the data for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 from its audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein.

Envestnet's historical results for any prior period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period, and its results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. The data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Envestnet, Placemark Holdings, Inc. ("Placemark"), which was acquired by Envestnet on October 1, 2014, and Yodlee, giving effect to the Placemark acquisition and the merger (collectively, the "mergers") as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014, the first day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Envestnet (including Placemark) and Yodlee, giving effect to the mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014, the first day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Envestnet and Yodlee, giving effect to the merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 2015. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company's results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on, and should be read in conjunction with:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Envestnet using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. Envestnet has been treated as the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The merger has not yet received the necessary approvals from governmental authorities. Under the HSR Act and other relevant laws and regulations, before completion of the merger, there are significant limitations regarding what Envestnet can learn about Yodlee. The assets and liabilities of Yodlee have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Envestnet believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available to it. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition
33
accounting will occur, and those differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company's future results of operations and financial position. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Envestnet intends to commence the necessary valuation and other studies required to complete the acquisition accounting promptly upon completion of the merger and will finalize the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable within the required measurement period prescribed by ASC 805, but in no event later than one year following completion of the merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Envestnet, Placemark and Yodlee would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any potential cost savings that may be realized as a result of the merger and also does not reflect any restructuring or integration-related costs, if any, to achieve those potential cost savings. No material intercompany transactions between Envestnet, Placemark and Yodlee during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified at this time.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
1. Description of Transaction
On August 10, 2015, Envestnet, Merger Sub and Yodlee entered into the merger agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee, with Yodlee continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Envestnet.
At the effective time, by virtue of the merger, each share of Yodlee common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, shares of Yodlee common will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, (A) $10.78 in cash and (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Envestnet common stock, determined by dividing $8.10 by the volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten full trading days ending on and including the second full trading day prior to the closing of the merger, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. However, if the Envestnet stock value is less than $39.006, then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $39.006 and if the Envestnet stock value is greater than $47.674, then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $47.674.
To the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable pursuant to the foregoing paragraph plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Envestnet common stock subject to restricted stock awards of Envestnet issuable pursuant to the merger agreement, would be equal to or greater than 19.9% of the shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time, the per share stock consideration will be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the total stock amount will not exceed the stock threshold. In such event, the per share cash consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the per share stock consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Envestnet stock value; provided that (i) the aggregate per share cash consideration will in no event be increased by greater than $32,000 and (ii) the total stock amount will in no event exceed the stock threshold.
As a result of the various limitations described above, the per share stock consideration will never be less than 0.1699 shares of Envestnet common stock or more than 0.1861 shares of Envestnet common stock. Furthermore, if the Envestnet stock value is at or below $43.52, the per share cash consideration will begin to increase until the Envestnet stock value is at $39.01 at which time the per share cash consideration would be fixed at $11.7579.
At the effective time, Yodlee equity awards will be treated as follows:

(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
1. Description of Transaction (Continued)
The completion of the merger is subject to adoption of the merger agreement by Yodlee stockholders, termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the required governmental authorizations having been obtained and being in full force and effect and certain other conditions to the completion of the merger. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by law, waiver of the conditions described in the preceding sentence, Envestnet and Yodlee expect the merger to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. Envestnet and Yodlee will continue to operating separately until the transaction closes.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Envestnet, Placemark and Yodlee. The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805 and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The unaudited pro forma combined per Envestnet common share data set forth below includes the pro forma impact of the acquisition of Placemark on October 1, 2014 as this transaction was deemed significant in accordance with Regulation S-K.
ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, ASC 805 requires that the consideration transferred be measured at the date the mergers are completed at the then-current market price. This requirement will likely result in a per share equity component that is different from the amount assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, since the market price of the Envestnet common shares at the date the mergers are completed may be different than the $31.04 market price that was used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The market price of $31.04 was based upon the closing price of Envestnet common shares on the NYSE on September 1, 2015.
ASC 820 defines the term "fair value," sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of
39
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
2. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, Envestnet may be required to record the fair value of assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect Envestnet's intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded, as of completion of the merger, primarily at their respective fair values and added to those of Envestnet. Financial statements and reported results of operations of Envestnet issued after completion of the merger will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Yodlee.
Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by Envestnet include estimated fees relate to an amendment to Envestnet's existing credit agreement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 is required to include adjustments which give effect to events that are directly attributable to the merger regardless of whether it expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results or are non-recurring. Therefore, acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by Envestnet and Yodlee subsequent to June 30, 2015 of approximately $6,183 and $8,861, respectively, are reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 as an increase to accrued expenses and as a decrease to retained earnings.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any projected realization of cost savings following completion of the merger. These cost savings opportunities are primarily related to administrative cost savings. Although Envestnet projects that cost savings will result from the merger, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will be achieved. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any potential restructuring and integration-related costs associated with the projected cost savings. Such restructuring and integration-related costs will be expensed in the appropriate accounting periods after completion of the merger. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any potential debt repayments.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
3. Accounting Policies
At completion of the merger, Envestnet will review Yodlee's accounting policies. As a result of that review, Envestnet may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, other than the treatment of sales commissions, which Yodlee capitalizes and amortizes over the contract life and Envestnet expenses sales commissions as incurred, Envestnet is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements, and therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume there are no differences in accounting policies.

4. Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred (Continued)
volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten full trading days ending on and including the second full trading day prior to the closing of the merger, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. For purposes of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Envestnet stock value is assumed to be $31.04, the closing price of the Envestnet common stock on the NYSE on September 1, 2015. This requirement will likely result in a different value of the common share component of the purchase consideration and a per share equity component different from the $31.04 assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and that difference may be material. See below for the estimated impact of an increase or decrease of 10% in the price of Envestnet's common stock on the date of the merger on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and on the consideration transferred:

5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed (Continued)
At the completion of the merger, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value, and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and consistent with the ASC 820 requirements for fair value measurements, it is assumed that all assets will be used, and that all acquired assets will be used in a manner that represents the highest and best use of those acquired assets, but it is not assumed that any market participant synergies will be achieved.
The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the "income approach," which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. Other valuation methods, including the market approach and cost approach, were also considered in estimating the fair value. Under the HSR Act and other relevant laws and regulations, there are significant limitations on Envestnet's ability to obtain specific information about Yodlee's intangible assets prior to completion of the merger. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration expected to be transferred and the aggregate values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
As of the date of this registration statement, Envestnet does not have sufficient information as to the amount, timing and risk of the cash flows from all of Yodlee's identifiable intangible assets to determine their fair value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, but are not limited to: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and profitability); the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; the assessment of the asset's life cycle; and the competitive trends impacting the asset. However, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and using publicly available information, such as historical revenues, Yodlee's cost structure, industry information for comparable intangible assets and certain other high-level assumptions, the fair value of Yodlee's identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives have been preliminarily estimated as follows:

These preliminary estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful life will likely be different from the amounts included in the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Once Envestnet has full access to information about Yodlee's intangible assets, additional insight will be gained that could impact (i) the estimated total value assigned to identifiable intangible assets, (ii) the estimated allocation of value between finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets (as applicable) and/or (iii) the estimated weighted-average useful life of each category of intangible assets.

5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed (Continued)
estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be impacted by a variety of factors that may become known to Envestnet only upon access to additional information and/or by changes in such factors that may occur prior to completion of the merger. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulatory, legislative, legal, technological and/or competitive environments. Increased knowledge about these and/or other elements could result in a change to the estimated fair value of the identifiable Yodlee intangible assets and/or to the estimated weighted-average useful lives from what Envestnet has assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The combined effect of any such changes could then also result in a significant increase or decrease to Envestnet's estimate of associated amortization expense.

Envestnet's Board of Directors and its management use adjusted EBITDA:
Envestnet's Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and management may also consider EBITDA, among other factors, when determining management's incentive compensation.
Envestnet also presents adjusted EBITDA as supplemental performance measures because it believes that adjusted EBITDA provides its Board of Directors, management and investors with additional information to assess Envestnet's performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assets affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and transaction costs, accretion on contingent consideration, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration,

other income, pre-tax loss attributable to non-controlling interest, litigation-related expenses, severance, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions. Envestnet's management also believes it is useful to exclude non-cash compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how Envestnet's business is performing at any particular time.
Envestnet believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating Envestnet's operating performance because securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and Envestnet's investor and analyst presentations typically include adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of Envestnet's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of Envestnet's profitability or liquidity.
Envestnet understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of Envestnet's results as reported under GAAP. In particular you should consider:
Envestnet's management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of Envestnet's financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Further, Envestnet's management also reviews GAAP measures and evaluates individual measures that are not included in some or all of Envestnet's non-GAAP financial measures, such as Envestnet's level of capital expenditures and interest income, among other measures.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for Envestnet and Placemark
(all numbers are in thousands except share and per share information unless otherwise indicated)
On October 1, 2014, pursuant to an amended and restated acquisition and agreement of merger (the "Placemark Agreement"), dated August 11, 2014, with Placemark, the selling securityholders named therein and Fortis Advisors, LLC as Securityholder Representative, Envestnet acquired (the "Placemark Acquisition") all of the outstanding capital stock of Placemark.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements of Envestnet for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in Envestnet's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income of Placemark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, which are incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X, to give effect to the completed Placemark Acquisition which has been accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations". The assumptions, estimates, and adjustments reflected herein have been made solely for purposes of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 has been prepared as if the Placemark Acquisition was completed on January 1, 2013, the first day of Envestnet's fiscal year 2013.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Envestnet, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations" contained in Envestnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Placemark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of Envestnet that would have been reported had the Placemark Acquisition been completed as of the date presented, and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations of the combined entity.

1. Basis of pro forma presentation
On October 1, 2014, pursuant to the Placemark Agreement, Envestnet acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Placemark.
The total consideration transferred in the Placemark Acquisition was as follows:
Cash paid to owners |

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of Envestnet and Placemark have been prepared by Envestnet pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements of Envestnet for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in Envestnet's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income of Placemark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, Envestnet believes that the disclosures provided herein, taken together with those included in Envestnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Placemark for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of Envestnet's results of operations which would actually have been obtained had such transaction been completed for the periods presented, or for the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.
2. Purchase price allocation
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration transferred was allocated to Placemark's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of Placemark's tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the beginning of business on October 1, 2014, the Placemark Acquisition date. The excess of the total consideration over the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.
54
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations (Continued)
2. Purchase price allocation (Continued)
Envestnet made an allocation of the total consideration as follows:
Total tangible assets acquired |
$ | 4,323 | ||
Total liabilities assumed |
(3,118 | ) | ||
Identifiable intangible assets: |
||||
Customer relationships |
24,000 | |||
Proprietary technology |
5,000 | |||
Trade names and domains |
1,000 | |||
Goodwill |
27,077 | |||
| | | | |
Total net assets acquired |
$ | 58,282 | ||
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Total amortizable identifiable intangible assets total $30,000 and consist of customer relationships, proprietary technology and trade names with useful lives that range from 5 years to 11 years.
Goodwill of $27,077 represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, which relate to an increase in future Envestnet revenues as a result of leveraging Placemark's systems and expertise of its employees, and lower future operating expenses and technology platform-related costs due to the migration of Placemark's clients to the Company's platform. The goodwill is also related to the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event that the management of the combined company determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined per Envestnet Common Share Data. The unaudited pro forma combined per Envestnet common share data set forth below includes the pro forma impact of the Placemark Acquisition on October 1, 2014 as this transaction was deemed significant in accordance with Regulation S-K. The unaudited pro forma combined per Envestnet common share data set forth below give effect to the merger under the acquisition method of accounting, as if the Envestnet/Placemark merger had been effective on January 1, 2013, the first day of Envestnet's fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and as if the Envestnet/Yodlee merger had been effective on January 1, 2014, in the case of net income per share. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per Envestnet common share data set forth below give effect to the merger under the acquisition method of accounting, as if the Envestnet/Yodlee merger had been effective June 30, 2015, assuming that each outstanding share of Yodlee common stock, and the Yodlee vested stock options had been converted into Envestnet common shares based on the exchange ratio.
The unaudited pro forma combined per Envestnet common share data is derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of Envestnet and Placemark as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the audited consolidated statement of operations of Yodlee as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2014, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of each of Envestnet and Yodlee as of, and for the six months ended, June 30, 2015.
60
The acquisition method of accounting is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification (which is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as ASC 805, Business Combinations), and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which Envestnet has adopted as required. Acquisition accounting requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair value measurements recorded in acquisition accounting are dependent upon certain valuation studies of Yodlee's assets and liabilities and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflect the assets and liabilities of Yodlee at their preliminary estimated fair values. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final values in acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined per share information set forth in the following table.
You should read the below information in conjunction with the selected historical consolidated financial data included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the historical consolidated financial statements of Envestnet and Placemark and related notes that have been filed with the SEC, certain of which are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," Yodlee stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote for the approval of the merger agreement. You should also consider the other information in this proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See the sections entitled "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Yodlee stockholders cannot be certain of the precise value of the merger consideration they may receive in the merger.
At the time the merger is completed, each issued and outstanding share of Yodlee common stock (except for (i) shares of Yodlee common stock as to which the holders thereof have not voted in favor of the merger or consented thereto in writing and have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal and (ii) shares of Yodlee common stock owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration in the form of a combination of Envestnet common stock and cash.
There will be a time lapse between each of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the date on which Yodlee stockholders vote to adopt the merger agreement at the Yodlee special meeting and the date on which Yodlee stockholders are entitled to receive the per share stock consideration in the form of Envestnet common stock or the per share cash consideration in the form of cash from Envestnet. The market value of Envestnet common stock may fluctuate during these periods as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in Envestnet's businesses, operations and prospects and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are outside the control of Yodlee and Envestnet. Consequently, at the time Yodlee stockholders must decide whether to adopt the merger agreement, they will not know the actual market value of the Envestnet common stock they will receive when the merger is completed. The actual value of the Envestnet common stock received by Yodlee stockholders will depend on the market value of the Envestnet common stock at that time. This market value may differ, possibly materially, from the value used to determine the exchange ratio. Yodlee stockholders should obtain current stock quotations for Envestnet common stock before voting their shares of Yodlee common stock. In addition, the per share cash consideration is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances depending on the number of Envestnet common stock issuable to Yodlee stockholders and, accordingly, at the time Yodlee stockholders must decide to adopt the merger agreement, they will not know the precise per share cash consideration they will receive when the merger is completed.
Yodlee's stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in the combined company after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.
Currently, Yodlee's stockholders have the right to vote in the election of the Yodlee Board and the power to approve or reject any matters requiring stockholder approval under Delaware law and Yodlee's charter and bylaws. Upon the completion of the merger, each Yodlee stockholder will become a stockholder of Envestnet with a percentage ownership of Envestnet that is smaller than the stockholder's current percentage ownership of Yodlee. Based on the number of issued and outstanding Envestnet common stock and shares of Yodlee common stock as of October 12, 2015 and based on the minimum and maximum potential exchange ratios of 0.1699 and 0.1861, respectively, after the merger,
62
Yodlee stockholders are expected to become owners of between 12.7% and 13.8% of the outstanding Envestnet common stock, without giving effect to any Envestnet common stock held by Yodlee stockholders prior to the completion of the merger. Even if all former Yodlee stockholders voted together on all matters presented to Envestnet's stockholders from time to time, the former Yodlee stockholders would exercise significantly less influence over Envestnet after the completion of the merger relative to their influence over Yodlee prior to the completion of the merger, and thus would have a less significant impact on the approval or rejection of future Envestnet proposals submitted to a stockholder vote.
Envestnet common stock received by Yodlee stockholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from shares of Yodlee common stock.
Following completion of the merger, Yodlee stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Yodlee and will become stockholders of Envestnet. There are some differences between the current rights of Yodlee stockholders and the rights to which such stockholders will be entitled as stockholders of Envestnet. See the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholders' Rights" for a discussion of the different rights associated with the Envestnet common stock.
The market price of Envestnet common stock may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected shares of Yodlee common stock.
Upon completion of the merger, holders of Yodlee common stock will become holders of Envestnet common stock. Envestnet's business differs from those of Yodlee, and accordingly the results of operations of Envestnet will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Yodlee. For a discussion of the businesses of Envestnet and Yodlee and of some important factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the sections entitled "Information About the Companies," "Description of Yodlee's Business" and "Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Yodlee's Business" of this proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference by Envestnet referred to under the section entitled "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference," including, in particular, in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" of Envestnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The merger agreement limits Yodlee's ability to pursue alternatives to the merger.
The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from submitting an acquisition proposal to Yodlee that might result in greater value to Yodlee's stockholders than the merger, or may result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Yodlee than it might otherwise have proposed to pay. These provisions include a general prohibition on Yodlee from soliciting or, subject to certain exceptions relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by the Yodlee Board, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any acquisition proposal or offers for competing transactions. In addition, Yodlee may be required to pay Envestnet a termination fee of $17.8 million in certain circumstances involving acquisition proposals for competing transactions. See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementExpenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.
The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions that must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include: the approval of the merger agreement by Yodlee stockholders, the expiration or termination of any waiting period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement under the HSR Act, the accuracy of representations and warranties under the merger agreement (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement) and Envestnet's and Yodlee's performance of their respective
63
obligations under the merger agreement in all material respects. These conditions to the closing of the merger may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may be delayed or may not be completed.
In addition, if the merger is not completed by February 15, 2016, either Envestnet or Yodlee may choose not to proceed with the merger, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time, before or after stockholder approval. In addition, Envestnet and Yodlee may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Yodlee may be required to pay a termination fee of $17.8 million to Envestnet. See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementExpenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach."
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the price of Envestnet common stock and Yodlee common stock, as well as Envestnet's and Yodlee's respective future business and financial results.
The merger agreement contains a number of conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the completion of the merger. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the merger will be so satisfied or waived. If the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or waived, Envestnet and Yodlee will be unable to complete the merger.
If the merger is not completed for any reason, including the failure to receive the required adoption of the merger agreement by Yodlee stockholders, Envestnet's and Yodlee's respective businesses and financial results may be adversely affected as follows:
In addition to the above risks, if the merger agreement is terminated and either party's Board of Directors seeks an alternative transaction, such party's stockholders cannot be certain that such party will be able to find a party willing to engage in a transaction on more attractive terms than the merger. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Yodlee may be required to pay a termination fee of $17.8 million to Envestnet. See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementExpenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Yodlee will be subject to business uncertainties while the merger is pending, which could adversely affect its business.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Yodlee, and, consequently, Envestnet. These uncertainties may impair Yodlee's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause customers and others that deal with Yodlee to seek to change their existing business relationships with Yodlee. Employee retention at Yodlee may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the merger, as employees may experience uncertainty about their roles with Envestnet following the merger. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Yodlee from making
64
certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions without the consent of Envestnet, and generally requires Yodlee to continue its operations in the ordinary course, until completion of the merger. These restrictions may prevent Yodlee from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. Please see the sections entitled "The Merger AgreementConduct of Business" and "The Merger AgreementOther Covenants and Agreements" of this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants to which Yodlee is subject.
Directors and executive officers of Yodlee may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Yodlee stockholders.
Directors and executive officers of Yodlee may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Yodlee stockholders generally. These interests include, among others, the treatment of outstanding equity and equity-based awards pursuant to the merger agreement; potential severance and other benefits upon a qualifying termination in connection with the merger; the appointment of Anil Arora, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Yodlee, as a director and Vice Chairman of Envestnet upon completion of the merger; and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage.
These interests are described in more detail in the section entitled "The MergerInterests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to Envestnet's earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of Envestnet common stock.
Because Envestnet common stock will be issued in the merger, it is possible that, although Envestnet currently expects the merger to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share beginning in 2017, the merger may be dilutive to Envestnet earnings per share, which could negatively affect the market price of Envestnet common stock.
In connection with the completion of the merger, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock as of October 12, 2015, Envestnet would issue approximately 5.6 million shares of Envestnet common stock. The issuance of these new shares of Envestnet common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price of Envestnet common stock, through dilution of earnings per share or otherwise.
Any dilution of, or delay of any accretion to, Envestnet's earnings per share could cause the price of Envestnet common stock to decline or increase at a reduced rate.
Envestnet and Yodlee will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.
Each of Envestnet and Yodlee has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the costs and expenses of filing, printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the merger.
Envestnet and Yodlee expect to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with completing the merger, combining the operations of the two companies and achieving desired synergies. These fees and costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial. The substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs related to the merger and include, among others, employee retention costs, fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and benefit costs and filing fees.
These costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of Envestnet following the completion of the merger.
65
The opinion of Yodlee's financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger.
Yodlee has received an opinion from its financial advisor, Goldman Sachs, in connection with the signing of the merger agreement, but has not obtained an updated opinion from Goldman Sachs as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Changes in the operations and prospects of Yodlee or Envestnet, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Yodlee or Envestnet, and on which Yodlee's financial advisor's opinion was based, may significantly alter the value of Yodlee or the prices of Envestnet common stock or Yodlee common stock by the time the merger is completed. The opinion does not speak as of the time the merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Because Yodlee does not currently anticipate asking its financial advisor to update its opinion, the opinion will not address the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view at the time the merger is completed. The Yodlee Board's recommendation that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement, however, is made as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the opinion that Yodlee received from its financial advisor, please see the section entitled "The MergerOpinion of Yodlee's Financial Advisor" of this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the opinion of Goldman Sachs, is attached as Appendix C.
Envestnet will require additional capital or financing sources for the merger or in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms.
There is no financing condition under the merger agreement, which means that if the conditions to closing are otherwise satisfied or waived, Envestnet is obligated to complete the merger whether or not it has sufficient funds to pay the consideration under the merger agreement. Envestnet intends to pay the consideration using cash on hand and bank borrowings. In addition, although Envestnet has obtained a debt commitment from Bank of Montreal to lend Envestnet cash to pay the consideration in the merger, such commitment is subject to a number of conditions and Envestnet cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to close this financing. See the section entitled "The MergerFinancing of the Merger" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Envestnet's future capital and financing requirements depend on many factors, including future acquisitions and capital expenditures. Envestnet may need to raise additional funds through financings or access funds through existing or new credit facilities. Envestnet also from time to time seeks to refinance debt or credit as amounts become due or commitments expire. Any equity or debt financing or refinancing, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to Envestnet. In the case of equity financings, dilution to Envestnet's stockholders could result, and in any case, such securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges that are senior to those of Envestnet common stock. Envestnet's access to funds under existing credit facilities is dependent on the ability of the banks that are parties to the facilities to meet their funding commitments. If Envestnet cannot obtain adequate capital or sources of credit on favorable terms, or at all, it could be forced to use assets otherwise available for its business operations, and its business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Risks Relating to the Combined Company Upon Completion of the Merger
Future results of Envestnet may differ, possibly materially, from the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data of Envestnet presented in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The future results of Envestnet following the completion of the merger may be different, possibly materially, from those shown in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data of Envestnet presented in this proxy statement/prospectus, which show only a combination of Envestnet's and Yodlee's historical results after giving effect to the merger. Additionally, if the merger occurs, Envestnet
66
anticipates incurring integration costs, which have not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the merger and post-merger integration process may give rise to unexpected liabilities and costs. Unexpected delays in completing the merger or in connection with the post-merger integration process may significantly increase the related costs and expenses incurred by Envestnet.
The integration of Yodlee into Envestnet may not be as successful as anticipated.
The merger involves numerous operational, strategic, financial, accounting, legal, tax and other risks; potential liabilities associated with the acquired businesses; and uncertainties related to design, operation and integration of Yodlee's internal control over financial reporting. Difficulties in integrating Yodlee into Envestnet may result in Yodlee performing differently than expected, in operational challenges or in the failure to realize anticipated revenue opportunities and/or expense-related efficiencies. Envestnet's and Yodlee's existing businesses could also be negatively impacted by the merger. In addition, goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with insurance company acquisitions may be impaired if certain results differ from expectations.
Even if Envestnet and Yodlee complete the merger, Envestnet may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on Envestnet's ability to realize the anticipated revenue benefits and cost savings from combining Envestnet's and Yodlee's businesses. The anticipated revenue benefits and cost savings of the proposed merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected or could have other adverse effects that Envestnet does not currently foresee. Some of the assumptions that Envestnet has made, such as the achievement of operating synergies, may not be realized. The integration process may, for each of Envestnet and Yodlee, result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. There could be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the merger that were not discovered in the course of performing due diligence.
Envestnet's results will suffer if it does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the merger.
Following completion of the merger, Envestnet's success will depend, in part, on its ability to manage its expansion through the completion of the merger, which poses numerous risks and uncertainties, including the need to integrate the operations and business of Yodlee into its existing business in an efficient and timely manner, to combine systems and management controls and to integrate relationships with customers, vendors and business partners.
The market price of Envestnet common stock may decline in the future as a result of the sale of such shares held by former Yodlee stockholders or current Envestnet stockholders or due to other factors.
Based on the number of shares of Yodlee common stock outstanding as of October 12, 2015, Envestnet expects to issue an aggregate of 5.6 million shares of Envestnet common stock to Yodlee stockholders in the merger. Upon the receipt of Envestnet common stock as merger consideration, former holders of shares of Yodlee common stock may seek to sell the Envestnet common stock delivered to them. Current Envestnet stockholders may also seek to sell Envestnet common stock held by them following, or in anticipation of, completion of the merger. These sales (or the perception that these sales may occur), coupled with the increase in the outstanding number of Envestnet common stock, may affect the market for, and the market price of, Envestnet common stock in an adverse manner. None of these stockholders are subject to "lock-up" or "market stand off" agreements.
67
The market price of Envestnet common stock may also decline in the future as a result of the completion of the merger for a number of other reasons, including:
These factors are, to some extent, beyond the control of Envestnet.
Risks Relating to Envestnet's Business
You should read and consider risk factors specific to Envestnet's businesses that will also affect the combined company after the completion of the merger. These risks are described in Part I, Item 1A of Envestnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" for the location of information incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Risks Relating to Yodlee's Business
Yodlee has a history of losses and may not maintain profitability in the future.
Except in 2010, Yodlee has not been profitable on an annual basis since its formation. Yodlee experienced a net loss of $5.6 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and a net loss of $7.0 million, $1.2 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee's accumulated deficit was $362.8 million. While Yodlee's revenue has grown in recent periods, Yodlee was not profitable in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Yodlee's revenue growth may not be sustainable and Yodlee may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability. Yodlee expects to make significant future expenditures related to the development and expansion of Yodlee's business. As a result of these expenditures, Yodlee must generate and sustain increased revenue to achieve and maintain future profitability. Yodlee may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described elsewhere herein, and Yodlee may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown factors. Yodlee has encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If Yodlee does not address these risks successfully or if Yodlee's assumptions regarding these risks and difficulties are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in the market, Yodlee's business could be harmed. Accordingly, Yodlee may not be able to maintain profitability and may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
Yodlee derives its revenue from subscriptions to a single software platform, and any factor adversely affecting the Yodlee platform would harm its business and operating results.
Yodlee derives its revenue from subscriptions to a single software platform and related support and professional services. As such, any factor adversely affecting subscriptions to the Yodlee platform, including those described elsewhere herein, would harm Yodlee's business and operating results. In addition, while Yodlee intends to pursue new business initiatives, such as data analytics solutions and market research services and revenue-sharing arrangements with third-party developers of FinApps, there can be no assurances that Yodlee will recognize significant revenue from those sources. The viability of these business opportunities depends on the continued success of the Yodlee platform, and
68
Yodlee's strategy to derive revenue from those activities would suffer if subscriptions to the Yodlee platform were adversely affected.
Revenue derived from sales to Yodlee's three largest customers, as a group, represented approximately 21.0% and 25.6% of Yodlee's total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately 25.4%, 32.2% and 31% of Yodlee's total revenue during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and Yodlee expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of customers.
The financial services industry in the United States is highly concentrated, with a small number of large financial institutions holding a majority of total assets held by all U.S. financial institutions. Because a portion of Yodlee's business is targeted at this industry and Yodlee's largest customers include 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014), a significant portion of Yodlee's revenue is concentrated among a small number of these large financial institution customers. As a percentage of total revenue, revenue derived from Yodlee's three largest customers, as a group, was approximately 21.0% and 25.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and approximately 25.4%, 32.2% and 31% during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Although Yodlee's revenue is beginning to become less concentrated among its largest customers and broadening across Yodlee's FI and YI customer base, Yodlee anticipates that revenue from a small group of customers will continue to account for a significant portion of Yodlee's revenue in future periods. It would be difficult to replace any of Yodlee's largest customers or the revenue derived from such customers. In addition, any publicity associated with the loss of any of Yodlee's largest customers could harm Yodlee's reputation, making it more difficult to attract and retain other large customers, and could weaken Yodlee's negotiating position with respect to remaining and prospective customers.
There can be no assurance that Yodlee will be able to continue its relationships with any of its largest customers on the same or more favorable terms in future periods or that Yodlee's relationships will continue beyond the terms of its existing contracts with them. Yodlee's revenue and operating results could suffer if, among other things, any of Yodlee's largest customers were to renegotiate, terminate, renew on less favorable terms or fail to renew their agreement with Yodlee.
Because some of Yodlee's sales efforts are targeted at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, Yodlee faces prolonged sales cycles, substantial upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of its sales. If Yodlee's sales cycle lengthens, or if upfront sales investments do not result in sufficient revenue, Yodlee's operating results may be harmed.
Yodlee targets a portion of its sales efforts at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, which presents challenges that are different from those Yodlee encounters with smaller customers. Because Yodlee's large customers are often making an enterprise-wide decision to deploy Yodlee's solutions, Yodlee faces longer sales cycles, complex customer requirements, substantial upfront sales costs, significant contract negotiations and less predictability in completing sales with these customers. Yodlee's sales cycle can often last one year or more with its largest customers, who often undertake an extended evaluation process, but it is variable and difficult to predict and can be longer or shorter. If Yodlee continues to expand globally, Yodlee anticipates that it may experience even longer sales cycles, more complex customer needs, higher upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing sales with its larger customers and customers located outside of the United States. If Yodlee's sales cycle lengthens or its upfront sales investments do not generate sufficient revenue to justify its investments in its sales efforts, Yodlee's operating results may be harmed.
69
Failure of Yodlee's customers to deploy Yodlee's solutions in a timely and successful manner could negatively affect Yodlee's revenue and operating results.
The timing of revenue from Yodlee's customers depends on a number of factors outside of Yodlee's control and may vary from period to period. Yodlee's customers may request customization of Yodlee's solutions for their systems or engage in a prolonged, internal decision making process regarding the deployment of Yodlee's solutions. Among Yodlee's larger customers, deployment of Yodlee's solutions can be a complex and prolonged process and requires integration into the existing platform on Yodlee's customers' systems. Any delay during the deployment process related to technical difficulties experienced by Yodlee's customers or Yodlee in integrating Yodlee's solutions into Yodlee's customers' systems could further lengthen the deployment period and create additional costs or customer dissatisfaction. During the deployment period, Yodlee expends substantial time, effort, and financial resources in an effort to assist its customers with the deployment. Some of Yodlee's customers may ultimately decide that it is not in the best interest of their business to deploy Yodlee's solutions at all. Yodlee generally is not able to recognize the full potential value of its customer contracts until its customers actually deploy Yodlee's solutions, though Yodlee's contracts typically provide that minimum payments are due beginning on a specified date whether or not deployments are completed by that date. Cancellation of any deployment after it has begun could result in lost time, effort, and expenses invested in the cancelled deployment process, and would adversely affect Yodlee's ability to recognize revenue that Yodlee anticipated at the time of the execution of the related customer contract. If Yodlee's customers do not timely and successfully deploy its solutions, Yodlee's future revenue and operating results could be negatively impacted.
Yodlee's future success depends upon its customers' active and effective promotion of Yodlee's solutions.
Yodlee's success depends on its customers, their willingness to effectively promote Yodlee's solutions to their end users, and their end users' adoption and use of Yodlee's solutions. In general, Yodlee's contracts with its customers allow them to exercise significant discretion over the promotion of Yodlee's solutions, and they could give higher priority to other products or services they offer. Accordingly, losing the support of Yodlee's customers would likely limit or reduce the use of Yodlee's solutions and the related revenue. Yodlee's revenue may also be negatively affected by Yodlee's customers' operational decisions. For example, if a customer implements changes in its systems that disrupt the integration between its systems and Yodlee's systems, Yodlee could experience a decline in the use of Yodlee's solutions. Even if Yodlee's customers actively and effectively promote its solutions, there can be no assurance that their efforts will result in increased usage of Yodlee's solutions by their end users or the growth of Yodlee's revenue. Failure of Yodlee's customers to effectively promote its solutions, and of their end users to increasingly adopt and use Yodlee's solutions, could have a material adverse effect upon Yodlee's future revenue and operating results.
Yodlee's reputation is critical to its business, and if its reputation is harmed, its business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Yodlee's reputation, which depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of its current and potential customers and end users, is critical to Yodlee's business. Yodlee's reputation is vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries or investigations, data security breaches, lawsuits, employee misconduct, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors, among other developments, could substantially damage Yodlee's reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. In addition, any perception that the quality of Yodlee's solutions may not be the same or better than that of other providers could also damage Yodlee's reputation. Any damage to Yodlee's reputation could harm Yodlee's ability to attract and retain customers and key personnel and adversely affect Yodlee's operating results.
70
Attempts to repair Yodlee's reputation, if damaged, may be costly and time consuming, and such efforts may not ultimately be successful.
Yodlee's hosting, collection, use and storage of customer information and data require the implementation of effective security controls, and a data security breach could disrupt Yodlee's business, result in the disclosure of confidential information, expose Yodlee to liability and protracted and costly litigation, adversely affect Yodlee's reputation and revenue and cause losses.
Yodlee and its customers, through which Yodlee's solutions are made available to end users, collect, use, transmit and store confidential end user-permissioned financial information such as bank account numbers, portfolio holdings, credit card data and outstanding debts and bills. The measures Yodlee takes to provide security for collection, use, storage, processing and transmission of confidential end user information may not be effective to protect against data security breaches by third parties. Yodlee uses commercially available security technologies, including hardware and software data encryption techniques and multi-layer network security measures, to protect transactions and information. Although Yodlee encrypts data fields that typically include sensitive, confidential information, other unencrypted data fields may include similar information that could be accessible in the event of a security breach. Yodlee uses security and business controls to limit access and use of confidential end user information. However, a portion of the security protection begins with Yodlee's customers because they are the initial point of user authentication of hosted solutions. Although Yodlee requires its Internet services customers and third-party suppliers to implement controls similar to Yodlee's, the technologies and practices of Yodlee's customers and third-party suppliers may not meet all of the requirements Yodlee includes in its contracts and Yodlee may not have the ability to effectively monitor the implementation of security measures of Yodlee's customers and third-party suppliers. In many cases, Yodlee's customers build and host their own web applications and access Yodlee's solutions through its APIs. In these cases, additional risks reside in the customer's system with respect to security and preventive controls. As a result, inadequacies of Yodlee's customers' and third-party suppliers' security technologies and practices may only be detected after a security breach has occurred. Errors in the collection, use, storage or transmission of confidential end user information may result in a breach of privacy or theft of assets.
The risk of unauthorized circumvention of Yodlee's security measures has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and the increasing sophistication of hackers. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to engage in illegal activities involving solutions such as Yodlee's or end user information, such as counterfeiting, fraudulent payment and identity theft. Because the techniques used by hackers change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, Yodlee may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. In addition to hackers, it is possible that a customer could gain unauthorized access to Yodlee's database through the use of Yodlee's solutions. Improper access to Yodlee's systems or databases by hackers or customers intending to commit criminal activities could result in the theft, publication, deletion or modification of confidential end user information. An actual or perceived breach of Yodlee's security may require notification under applicable data privacy regulations.
A data security breach of the systems on which sensitive user data and account information are stored could lead to claims or regulatory actions against Yodlee. If Yodlee is sued in connection with any data security breach, Yodlee could be involved in protracted and costly litigation. If unsuccessful in defending that litigation, Yodlee might be forced to pay damages and/or change its business practices or pricing structure, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Yodlee's revenue and profitability. Yodlee's customer contracts typically include security standards that must be complied with by Yodlee and its customers. If a data security breach occurs and Yodlee has not been in compliance with the security standards included in Yodlee's applicable contracts, Yodlee could be liable for breach of contract claims brought by its customers. Yodlee could also be required to indemnify its customers for third-party claims, fines, penalties and/or other assessments imposed on Yodlee's customers as a result of any data security breach and Yodlee's liability could exceed Yodlee's insurance coverage or ability to pay.
71
Yodlee's security procedures and technologies are regularly audited by independent security auditors engaged by Yodlee, and many of Yodlee's prospective and current customers conduct their own audits or review the results of such independent security audits as part of their evaluation of Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee is also periodically audited by regulatory agencies to whom Yodlee's operations or its customers are subject, including The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, which is the Agency in Charge of multi-agency supervisory examinations of Yodlee's operations. Adverse findings in these audits or examinations, even if not accompanied by any data security breach, could adversely affect Yodlee's ability to maintain its existing customer relationships and establish new customer relationships.
Data security breaches, acts of fraud involving Yodlee's solutions, or adverse findings in security audits or examinations, could result in reputational damage to Yodlee, which could reduce the use and acceptance of Yodlee's solutions, cause Yodlee's customers to cease doing business with Yodlee and have a significant adverse impact on Yodlee's revenue and future growth prospects. Further, any of these events could lead to additional regulation and oversight by federal and state agencies, which could impose new and costly compliance obligations and may lead to the loss of Yodlee's ability to make its solutions available.
Privacy concerns could have an adverse impact on Yodlee's revenue and harm its reputation and may require Yodlee to modify its operations.
As part of Yodlee's business, it uses, transmits and stores end user-permissioned, non-identified transaction data elements. Yodlee is subject to laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, and security of end user data. For privacy or security reasons, privacy groups, governmental agencies and individuals may seek to restrict or prevent Yodlee's use of this data. New laws in this area have been passed by several jurisdictions, and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions. These new laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and Yodlee's current data protection policies and practices may not be consistent with those interpretations and applications. In addition, the ability to execute transactions and the possession and use of personal information and data in conducting Yodlee's business subjects Yodlee to legislative and regulatory burdens that may require notification to customers or employees of a security breach, restrict Yodlee's use of personal information, hinder Yodlee's ability to acquire new customers or market to existing customers, require Yodlee to modify its operations and have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operating results. Yodlee has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with privacy and security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards or contractual obligations. As Yodlee's business continues to expand to new industry segments that may be more highly regulated for privacy and data security, and to countries outside the United States that have more strict data protection laws, Yodlee's compliance requirements and costs may increase.
If sources from which Yodlee obtains information limits Yodlee's access to such information or charges fees for accessing such information, Yodlee's business could be materially and adversely harmed.
Yodlee's solutions require certain data that it obtains from thousands of sources, including banks, other financial institutions, retail businesses and other organizations, some of which are not current customers. As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee received 75% of this data through structured data feeds that are provided under the terms of its contracts with most of its financial institution, or FI, customers. Although all of the information Yodlee currently gathers is end user-permissioned, non-identified data and, currently, Yodlee generally has free, unrestricted access to, or ability to use, such information, one or more of Yodlee's current customers could decide to limit or block Yodlee's access to the data feeds it currently has in place with these customers due to factors outside of Yodlee's control such as more burdensome regulation of Yodlee or its customers' industry, increased compliance requirements or
72
changes in business strategy. If the sources from which Yodlee obtains information that is important to its solutions limit or restrict Yodlee's ability to access or use such information, Yodlee may be required to attempt to obtain the information, if at all, through end user-permissioned data scraping or other means that could be more costly and time-consuming, and less effective or efficient. In the past, a limited number of third parties, primarily airline and international sites, have either blocked Yodlee's access to their websites or requested that Yodlee cease employing data scraping of their websites to gather information, and Yodlee could receive similar, additional requests in the future. Any such limitation or restriction may also preclude Yodlee from providing its solutions on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, if in the future one or more third parties challenge Yodlee's right to access information from these sources, Yodlee may be required to negotiate with these sources for access to their information or to discontinue certain services currently provided by its solutions. The legal environment surrounding data scraping and similar means of obtaining access to information on third-party websites is not completely clear and is evolving, and one or more third parties could assert claims against Yodlee seeking damages or to prevent Yodlee from accessing information in that manner. In the event sources from which Yodlee obtains this information begin to charge fees for accessing such information, Yodlee may be forced to increase the fees that Yodlee charges its customers, which could make Yodlee's solutions less attractive, or its gross margins and other financial results could suffer.
Failure by Yodlee's customers to obtain proper permissions and waivers might result in claims against Yodlee or may limit or prevent Yodlee's use of data, which could harm Yodlee's business.
Yodlee requires its customers to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use and disclosure of information through its solutions. Yodlee's contracts with its customers include assurances from them that they have done so and will do so, but Yodlee does not audit its customers to ensure that they have acted, and continue to act, consistently with such assurances. If, despite these requirements and contractual obligations, Yodlee's customers do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then Yodlee's use and disclosure of information that it receives from them or on their behalf might be limited or prohibited by federal, state or foreign privacy laws or other laws. Such a failure to obtain proper permissions and waivers could impair Yodlee's functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and might prevent use of such data. In addition, such a failure could interfere with, or prevent creation or use of, rules, analyses, or other data-driven activities that benefit Yodlee and its business. Moreover, Yodlee might be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notices, agreements, permissions or waivers. These claims or liabilities could subject Yodlee to unexpected costs and adversely affect its operating results.
Yodlee operates in a highly regulated environment, and failure by Yodlee or financial institutions and other customers through which Yodlee's solutions are made available to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on Yodlee's business, financial position and operating results.
Yodlee operates in a highly regulated environment at the federal, state and international levels, and failure by Yodlee or FIs and other customers through which Yodlee's solutions are made available to comply with the laws and regulations to which Yodlee and its customers are subject could negatively impact Yodlee's business. In particular, Yodlee's solutions are subject to a strict set of legal and regulatory requirements intended to protect consumers and to help detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit activities. Although Yodlee has internal controls in place to comply with applicable regulations, Yodlee cannot guarantee that its internal controls will always be effective in ensuring such compliance. Yodlee's FI customers and prospective customers are highly regulated and may be required to comply with stringent regulations in connection with subscribing to and implementing Yodlee's solutions.
73
Yodlee is examined on a periodic basis by various regulatory agencies. For example, Yodlee is a supervised third-party technology service provider subject to multi-agency supervisory examinations in a wide variety of areas based on published guidance by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. These examinations include examinations of Yodlee's management, acquisition and development activities, support and delivery, IT, and disaster preparedness and business recovery planning. The OCC is the Agency in Charge of these examinations. If deficiencies are identified, customers may choose to terminate or reduce their relationships with Yodlee. As a result of obligations under Yodlee's customer agreements, Yodlee is required to comply with certain provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or GLBA, related to the privacy of consumer information and may be subject to other privacy and data security laws because of the solutions Yodlee provides. In addition, numerous regulations have been proposed and are still being written to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, for enhanced due diligence of the internal systems and processes of companies like Yodlee by their FI customers. If Yodlee is required to make changes to its internal processes and solutions as result of this heightened scrutiny, Yodlee could be required to invest substantial additional time and funds and divert time and resources from other corporate purposes to remedy any identified deficiency.
Money movement services are potentially subject to regulation under a variety of federal and state laws, including state statutes regulating "money transmitters" and federal laws, such as the Bank Secrecy Act and the regulations thereunder, which regulate "money transmitting businesses" and "money services businesses." Many of these statutes are broadly worded and have not been subject to published judicial or administrative interpretation. While Yodlee believes that its money movement solutions comply with, or are exempt from, all applicable laws, as Yodlee conducts these services on behalf of regulated financial institutions, it is possible that one or more regulatory agencies could take the position that Yodlee is not in compliance or that Yodlee is required to register as a money transmitter in order to provide Yodlee's money movement solutions. In addition, new laws or regulations, or interpretations of existing laws or regulations, could subject Yodlee to additional regulatory requirements. If Yodlee were prevented from operating its money movement solutions in one or more states, Yodlee's ability to provide its money movement solutions would suffer as Yodlee's customers generally require that Yodlee money movement solutions handle payments in all states. Moreover, if Yodlee were required to be licensed in one or more states, the licensing process could be time-consuming and expensive.
Many of these laws and regulations are evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions, and ensuring compliance with them is difficult and costly. Changes in laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations may occur that could increase Yodlee's compliance and other costs of doing business, require significant systems redevelopment, substantially change the way that banks and other FIs are regulated and able to offer their products to consumers, or render Yodlee's solutions less profitable or obsolete, any of which could have an adverse effect on Yodlee's operating results. Currently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, has exclusive rulemaking authority under the GLBA, and many of Yodlee's customers are subject to regulatory enforcement by the CFPB and/or the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC. It is difficult to predict future regulatory requirements that may be enacted by the CFPB, the manner in which such regulatory requirements will be enforced by the CFPB or the FTC, and the impact such requirements or enforcement actions may have on Yodlee or its customers' business. Compliance with any new regulatory requirements may divert internal resources and be expensive and time-consuming. In order to comply with new regulations, Yodlee may be required to increase investment in compliance functions or new technologies. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations to which Yodlee is subject could result in fines, penalties or limitations on Yodlee's ability to conduct its business, or federal or state actions, any of which could significantly harm Yodlee's reputation with consumers, banks and regulators, and could materially and adversely affect Yodlee's business, operating results and financial condition.
74
If Yodlee is unable to expand its business with its existing customers, Yodlee's business and ability to increase its revenue may suffer.
Yodlee's ability to increase its revenue depends in part on increasing revenue from its existing customers. Yodlee intends to seek to increase penetration among its existing customer base, both by increasing usage of product offerings in business units it currently serves and by expanding into new business units. However, the adoption of Yodlee's solutions by specific business units of its existing customers does not necessarily indicate that it will be successful in expanding usage into other business units, which may have different needs, priorities and budgetary and other constraints. In addition, while Yodlee intends to introduce features and applications that will make Yodlee's solutions increasingly attractive to end users, Yodlee cannot be certain that it will be successful in increasing usage of its solutions with existing customers. If Yodlee is unable to expand its business as it anticipates, its revenue could decrease and its business could be harmed.
If Yodlee does not successfully market and sell its solutions to new customers, including Internet services companies, Yodlee's revenue growth will be harmed.
Yodlee's ability to increase its revenue depends in part on its ability to attract new customers, including additional FI customers and new Internet services companies providing innovative financial solutions, or YI customers. While Yodlee believe that there are significant opportunities for sales to additional FIs, both in the United States and in international markets, Yodlee cannot be sure that it will be successful in achieving broader adoption of its solutions by FIs. Yodlee's future revenue growth is also dependent upon the continued purchase of its solutions by YI customers. Adoption and purchase of Yodlee's solutions by these companies is still relatively new, and it is unclear if Yodlee's solutions will be broadly adopted and purchased by these companies or the speed of any such adoption and purchases.
Increased revenue from YI customers may expose Yodlee to additional risks.
Yodlee's revenue from YI customers has increased in recent periods, and Yodlee expects that such customers will be increasingly important to Yodlee's business in future periods. Some of Yodlee's customers are smaller and may not be as financially stable as Yodlee's FI customers and may not have the experience and resources relating to data security and operations that Yodlee's FI customers generally have. Accordingly, although Yodlee's contracts with these customers require them to, among other things, adhere to standards for data security and obtain necessary consents and waivers from end users to use their financial and other information, as Yodlee increases Yodlee's business with YI customers Yodlee may be subject to an increased risk that one or more of such customers may fail to comply with these obligations and that such customers may not have the financial resources to satisfy any resulting indemnity obligations to Yodlee. If Yodlee's YI customers experience financial difficulties, are limited by a lack of internal resources or otherwise fail to comply with their contractual obligations relating to data security, Yodlee's revenue generated from these customers may suffer, Yodlee's reputation could be harmed and Yodlee could be exposed to third-party claims.
Yodlee cannot be certain that it will be successful in increasing its revenue by introducing new revenue streams.
Important factors to Yodlee's future growth include continued development and marketing of financial applications to make the Yodlee platform increasingly attractive to existing customers with the need for applications or combinations of applications tailored to their specific needs. In addition, Yodlee intends to seek to derive additional revenue by providing data analytics solutions and market research services and are pursuing revenue-sharing opportunities with third-party developers of FinApps on the Yodlee platform. Each of these initiatives has individual challenges and risks. To market and sell data analytics solutions and market research services successfully, Yodlee must continue
75
to enhance its capabilities relating to the enrichment of massive data sets in order to provide tailored data analytics services that appeal to the markets that Yodlee targets, as well as develop additional capabilities in data solutions. Yodlee has only recently begun to derive revenue from the sale of data analytics solutions and market research services but it is becoming a more important factor in Yodlee's financial results. In order to increase sales of data analytics solutions and market research services, Yodlee will need to expand its sales and marketing capabilities. In addition, for FinApps to appeal to existing customers, or new customers, these applications must offer the functionality and user experience that is responsive to their needs and valued by end users. Moreover, Yodlee has not derived significant revenue to date from revenue-sharing arrangements with third-party developers of FinApps on the Yodlee platform, and Yodlee cannot be sure that it will enter into a substantial number of these arrangements or that any such arrangements will be successful. Yodlee cannot be certain that any of the activities described above will contribute to substantial additional revenue from the Yodlee platform or introduce substantial new revenue streams.
If Yodlee's operations are interrupted as a result of service downtime or interruptions, Yodlee's business and reputation could suffer.
The success of Yodlee's business depends upon its ability to obtain and deliver time-sensitive, up-to-date data and information. Yodlee's operations and those of third parties on whom Yodlee relies for information and transaction processing services are vulnerable to interruption by technical breakdowns, computer hardware and software malfunctions, software viruses, infrastructure failures, fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failures and other events beyond Yodlee's control. Any disruption in Yodlee's solutions or operations, or those of third parties on whom Yodlee relies, could affect the ability of Yodlee's solutions to perform effectively which in turn could result in a reduction in revenue. In addition, Yodlee's contracts with Yodlee's customers often include stringent requirements for Yodlee to maintain certain levels of performance and service availability. Failure by Yodlee to meet these contractual requirements could result in a claim for substantial damages against Yodlee, regardless of whether Yodlee is responsible for that failure. Yodlee's customers may also delay or withhold payment to Yodlee, elect to terminate or not to renew their contracts with Yodlee, or refuse to integrate Yodlee's solutions into their online offerings, or Yodlee could lose future sales to new customers as a result of damage to its reputation due to such service downtime or interruptions. If Yodlee suffers a significant database or network facility outage, Yodlee's business could experience disruption until Yodlee fully implements Yodlee's back-up systems. The occurrence of any such disruptions in Yodlee's solutions could materially and adversely affect Yodlee's business.
If customers are unwilling to use Yodlee's cloud-based solutions, Yodlee's customer base may not grow or may decrease and Yodlee's business could be harmed.
The cloud computing market is not as mature as the market for enterprise software, and it is uncertain whether cloud computing will achieve and sustain high levels of customer demand and market acceptance. Many enterprises have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate legacy enterprise software into their businesses and are more familiar and comfortable with this type of infrastructure. Because Yodlee's solutions involve the aggregation, storage and use of confidential information and related data, some customers, in particular customers located outside of the United States, may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to Yodlee's cloud-based solutions due to a lack of perceived cost and performance benefits associated with cloud-based solutions, and concerns regarding the ability of cloud computing companies to adequately address security and privacy concerns. If other cloud-based solutions experience security incidents, loss of customer data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, these concerns and perceptions regarding the market for cloud computing as a whole may be further negatively affected. If customers are unwilling to accept Yodlee's cloud-based solutions as a result of these perceptions and concerns, Yodlee may be required to develop
76
other alternative solutions for these customers, which would be time-consuming and costly and could negatively affect Yodlee's gross margins. In addition, negative perceptions and concerns regarding cloud computing could cause the growth of Yodlee's customer base to slow, which could result in decreased revenue and harm to Yodlee's business.
Yodlee's revenue and operating results can fluctuate from period to period, which could cause Yodlee's share price to fluctuate.
Yodlee's revenue and operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate from period to period in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Yodlee's control. If Yodlee's operating results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow Yodlee's common stock, the trading price of Yodlee's common stock could decline substantially. Factors relating to Yodlee's business that may contribute to these fluctuations include the following, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus:
In addition, Yodlee's revenue has usually been the strongest during the last two quarters of the year due to the terms of existing customer contracts with certain of Yodlee's largest customers and associated revenue recognition, and timing of Yodlee's customers' deployment of Yodlee's solutions and associated professional services revenue. Although Yodlee expects this trend to continue in the future, historical patterns should not be considered indicative of Yodlee's future results.
As a result of these and other factors, Yodlee believes that period-to-period comparisons of Yodlee's revenue and operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of Yodlee's future revenue or operating performance.
77
Yodlee relies significantly on revenue from subscriptions, which may decline or may fluctuate based on the timing of renewals, and, because Yodlee recognizes revenue from subscriptions over the term of the relevant subscription period, downturns or upturns in sales are not immediately reflected in full in Yodlee's operating results.
Yodlee's subscription revenue accounted for approximately 87% of its total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and approximately 85% and 81% of its total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Customers that purchase Yodlee's subscriptions have no contractual obligation to renew their contracts after the initial contract period, which are typically three years, and Yodlee may not maintain its historical subscription renewal rates. Although customer contracts are generally non-cancellable during a specified period of time, customers typically have the right to terminate their contracts for a fee before the expiration of the entire initial contract period. New or renewal subscriptions may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers' and end users' level of satisfaction with Yodlee's solutions and customer support; the frequency and severity of subscription outages; the functionality and performance of Yodlee's solutions; the timeliness and success of product enhancements and introductions by Yodlee and those of Yodlee's competitors; the prices of Yodlee's solutions; the prices of solutions offered by Yodlee's competitors or reductions in customers' spending levels. If new or renewal subscriptions decline, Yodlee's revenue or revenue growth may decline, and Yodlee's business may suffer.
In addition, Yodlee recognizes subscription revenue over the term of the relevant subscription period based on the terms of the applicable customer contract. As a result, most of the revenue Yodlee reports each quarter are the recognition of billings from subscriptions entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewal subscriptions in any one quarter will not be fully reflected in revenue in that quarter, but will negatively affect Yodlee's revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in new or renewed sales of Yodlee's solutions would not be reflected in full in Yodlee's results of operations until future periods.
Because a portion of Yodlee's revenue depends on the usage of Yodlee's platform by end users, it may be difficult to evaluate Yodlee's future prospects.
Yodlee's subscription contracts with its customers generally contain a minimum subscription fee, and usage-based fees which depend on the extent their customers or end users use Yodlee's platform. This usage-based aspect to Yodlee's pricing model makes it difficult to accurately forecast revenue because end users' activities on Yodlee's platform may vary from period to period based on a variety of factors, including personal financial circumstances, privacy and security concerns regarding online solutions such as Yodlee's, seasonality or other factors. As a result, historical revenue from a customer may not be a good indicator of Yodlee's future revenue from that customer and changes in end user activity may limit Yodlee's ability to forecast revenue.
Material defects or errors in the software Yodlee uses to deliver Yodlee's solutions or in the information Yodlee gathers and discloses could harm Yodlee's reputation, result in significant costs to Yodlee and impair Yodlee's ability to sell its solutions.
The software applications underlying Yodlee's solutions are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. From time to time, Yodlee provides incremental releases of software updates and functional enhancements. Such new versions frequently contain undetected errors when first introduced or released. Yodlee has from time to time found defects in its solutions, and new errors in Yodlee's existing solutions may be detected in the future. In addition, errors may result from the interface of Yodlee's solutions with legacy systems and data, which Yodlee did not develop and the function of which is outside of Yodlee's control.
78
Defects or errors in the information Yodlee gathers from third parties or in storing end users' data, in processing payment transactions, or that cause interruptions to the availability of Yodlee's solutions could result in a reduction in sales or delay in market acceptance of Yodlee's solutions, sales credits or refunds to Yodlee's customers, loss of existing customers and difficulty in attracting new customers, diversion of development resources, harm to Yodlee's reputation, and increased service and maintenance costs, and expose Yodlee to potential liability to its customers. Yodlee may not be able to identify or resolve these defects or errors in a timely manner. Correction of defects or errors could prove to be impossible or impracticable. The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors in Yodlee's solutions or the information Yodlee provides, or in responding to resulting claims or liability, may be substantial. Resolving a defect or error and implementing remedial measures would likely divert the attention and resources of management and key technical personnel from other business concerns, and could be extremely difficult if the underlying defect or error is located in a third party's system or database.
Although Yodlee attempts to limit its contractual liability for consequential damages in delivering its solutions, these limitations on liability may be unenforceable in some cases, or may be insufficient to protect Yodlee from liability for damages. Yodlee maintains general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors or omissions; however, this coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or may be insufficient to cover one or more large claims. An insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against Yodlee that exceeds Yodlee's available insurance coverage or changes in insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of a large deductible or co-insurance requirement, could harm Yodlee's operating results and financial condition.
If Yodlee fails to process transactions effectively or fails to adequately protect against disputed or potential fraudulent activities, Yodlee's revenue and earnings may be harmed.
Yodlee processes a significant volume and dollar value of transactions on a daily basis using its money movement solutions. Effective processing systems and controls are essential to ensure that transactions are handled appropriately. Despite Yodlee's efforts, it is possible that Yodlee may make errors or that funds may be misappropriated due to fraud. If Yodlee is unable to effectively manage its systems and processes it may be unable to process money movement transactions in an accurate, reliable and timely manner, which may harm its business. In addition, if Yodlee does not detect suspected fraudulent or non-sufficient fund transactions within agreed-upon timelines, Yodlee may be required to reimburse its customers for the transactions and such reimbursements may exceed the amount of the reserves it has established to make such payments.
The online payments industry has been experiencing an increasing amount of fraudulent activities by third parties. Although Yodlee does not believe that any of this activity is uniquely targeted at its business, this type of fraudulent activity may adversely impact Yodlee. In addition to any direct damages and potential fines that may result from such fraud, which may be substantial, a loss of confidence in Yodlee's controls may seriously harm its business and damage its reputation. Yodlee may implement risk control mechanisms that could make it more difficult for legitimate end users to use its solutions, which could result in lost revenue and negatively impact its operating results.
If Yodlee is unable to maintain its payment network with third-party service providers, or if Yodlee's disbursement partners encounter business difficulties, Yodlee's business could be harmed.
Yodlee's payment network consists of a single Originating Deposit Financial Institution, or ODFI, and a small number of bill payment processors. Yodlee's ODFI clears and processes the funds from the customer. In the instance of funds transfers, the ODFI also processes funds to the end user's destination institution. For bill payment, funds are sent to the bill pay processors for disbursement to biller sites.
79
While Yodlee has entered into an agreement with its ODFI and each of Yodlee's bill payment processors, these partners could choose to terminate or not renew their agreements with Yodlee. If Yodlee is unable to maintain its agreements with its current partners, or Yodlee's current partners are unable to handle increased transaction volumes, Yodlee's ability to disburse transactions and Yodlee's revenue and business may be harmed. If Yodlee is unable to sign new payment processors and/or ODFIs under terms consistent with, or better than, those currently in place, Yodlee's revenue and business may be harmed.
Payment processors and ODFI partners also engage in a variety of activities in addition to providing Yodlee's services and may encounter business difficulties unrelated to Yodlee's services. Such activities or difficulties could cause the affected partner to reduce the services provided, cease to do business with Yodlee, or cease doing business altogether. This could lead to Yodlee's inability to move funds on a timely basis as required to settle transactions. In addition, because Yodlee offers next day automated clearing house transactions in certain cases, if a disbursement partner experiences insufficient liquidity or ceases to do business, Yodlee may not be able to recover funds that are held with that disbursement partner which could harm Yodlee's financial condition and operating results.
Yodlee may also be forced to cease doing business with payment processors and/or ODFIs if rules governing electronic funds transfers change or are reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for Yodlee to operate its money movement solutions.
If Yodlee is unable to effectively compete, Yodlee's business and operating results could be harmed.
While Yodlee does not believe any single company in the financial services space offers a comprehensive platform with diverse features such as ours, the following companies offer individual solutions that compete with one or more of its solutions:
Many of the companies that compete with one or more of Yodlee's applications have greater name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, the ability to devote greater resources to the promotion, sale and support of their solutions, more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships, longer operating histories, and greater name recognition than it has.
Yodlee expects competition to increase as other companies continue to evolve their offerings and as new companies enter its market. New companies entering Yodlee's market may choose to offer internally-developed solutions at little or no additional cost to their end users by bundling them with their existing applications and solutions. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, which could negatively impact Yodlee's gross margins. If Yodlee is unable to effectively compete, its revenue could decline and its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
80
Yodlee's business could be harmed if Yodlee does not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing expectations and requirements of its customers.
Yodlee expects technological developments to continue at a rapid pace in its industry. Yodlee's success will depend, in part, on its ability to:
In addition, Yodlee must continue to meet changing expectations and requirements of its customers. Yodlee must accomplish all of these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner, and Yodlee's failure to do so could harm its business, including materially reducing its revenue and operating results.
As a result of Yodlee's customers' increased usage of its platform, Yodlee will need to continually improve its hosting infrastructure to meet its customers' needs and avoid service interruptions or slower system performance.
Yodlee has experienced significant growth in the number of transactions and data that its hosting infrastructure supports. Yodlee seeks to maintain sufficient excess capacity in its infrastructure to meet the needs of all of its existing and new customers. A component of Yodlee's growth strategy involves the establishment of additional data centers in new locations. If Yodlee's business continues to grow, Yodlee may also need to increase bandwidth, storage or other elements of its infrastructure.
The amount of infrastructure needed to support Yodlee's customers is based on Yodlee's estimates of anticipated usage. If Yodlee does not accurately predict its infrastructure capacity requirements, its customers could experience service outages or slower system performance that may subject Yodlee to financial penalties and result in customer losses, which could harm its reputation and adversely affect its revenue growth. In addition, increasing Yodlee's infrastructure as a result of experiencing unforeseen increases in usage or in anticipation of increased usage from new or existing customers would cause Yodlee to have increased cost of revenue, which could adversely affect its gross margins until it sufficiently increases revenue to offset the increased costs.
Yodlee relies on relationships with third-party service providers to conduct its business, and its operating results and financial position could be materially and adversely affected if it fails to maintain these relationships or if it maintains them under new terms that are less favorable to Yodlee.
Yodlee relies on data center and other service providers in order to deliver its solutions and operate its business. Yodlee also relies on software licenses from third parties and support from third parties for the operation of its business by maintaining its physical facilities, equipment, power systems and infrastructure. The failure of these third parties to provide acceptable and high quality services and technologies or to update their services and technologies may result in a disruption to Yodlee's business operations and its customers, which may reduce its revenue, cause Yodlee to lose customers and damage its reputation. If Yodlee loses the services of one or more of Yodlee's third-party service providers for any reason or if their services is disrupted, for example due to viruses or denial of service or other attacks on their systems, or due to human error, intentional bad acts, power loss, hardware failures, telecommunications failures, wars, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, or similar catastrophic events,
81
Yodlee could experience a disruption in its ability to offer its solutions and adverse perception of its solutions' reliability, or Yodlee could be required to retain the services of replacement third-party service providers. Alternative arrangements and services may not be available to Yodlee on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or it may experience business interruptions upon a transition to an alternative partner, either of which could increase Yodlee's operating costs and harm its business.
If Yodlee is unable to effectively manage certain risks and challenges related to its India operations, its business could be harmed.
Yodlee's India operations are a key factor to its success. Yodlee believes that its significant presence in India provides certain important advantages for its business, such as direct access to a large pool of skilled professionals and assistance in growing its business internationally. However, it also creates certain risks that Yodlee must effectively manage. As of June 30, 2015, approximately 78% of Yodlee's total employees were based in India. Wage costs in India for skilled professionals are currently lower than in the United States for comparably skilled professionals. However, wages in India are increasing at a faster rate than in the United States, which could result in Yodlee incurring increased costs for technical professionals and reduced margins. There is intense competition in India for skilled technical professionals, and Yodlee expects such competition to increase. As a result, Yodlee may be unable to cost-effectively retain Yodlee's current employee base in India or hire additional new talent. In addition, India has experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic product and shortages of foreign exchange. India also has experienced civil unrest and terrorism and, in the past, has been involved in conflicts with neighboring countries. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could result in disruptions to Yodlee's India operations, which, if continued for an extended period of time, could have a material adverse effect on its business. If Yodlee is unable to effectively manage any of the foregoing risks related to its India operations, its development efforts could be impaired, its growth could be slowed, and its operating results could be negatively impacted.
As a global organization, Yodlee's business is susceptible to risks associated with its international operations and sales.
Yodlee currently maintains international operations in India, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, lease space in other jurisdictions outside of the United States for the purpose of gathering data, and have customers located around the globe. Managing a global organization and conducting sales outside of the United States is difficult and time-consuming and introduces risks that Yodlee may not face with its operations and sales in the United States. These risks include:
82
Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. A component of Yodlee's growth strategy involves the further expansion of its operations and the development of new customer relationships internationally. As Yodlee seeks to expand internationally, Yodlee will need to develop relationships with additional partners and add internal capabilities to effectively manage the operational, financial, legal and regulatory requirements and risks associated with its international operations. The investment Yodlee makes and additional resources Yodlee uses to expand its operations, target new international customers, expand its presence globally within its existing customers and manage operational and sales growth in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability, which could adversely affect its business and operating results.
Yodlee's future success depends on the continued services of its management team and its ability to recruit, train and retain qualified and skilled employees, including research and development, sales, marketing and support personnel.
Yodlee's ability to effectively develop and provide its solutions and maintain and develop relationships with current and potential customers depends largely on the continued services of its management team and its ability to attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled professionals, particularly professionals with backgrounds in sales, marketing, technology, customer support and financial management services. Yodlee believes that success in its business will continue to be based upon the strength of its intellectual capital. For example, due to the complexity of Yodlee's solutions and the intellectual capital invested in its technology, the loss of personnel that are integral to the development of its solutions and engineering efforts would harm Yodlee's ability to maintain and grow its business. In addition, Yodlee's customers depend on its professional services team to assist them with the deployment of its solutions within their infrastructure and, after deployment, to help resolve any issues relating to its solutions that may arise. A high level of support is an important factor in contract renewals and cross-selling of Yodlee's platform. Consequently, Yodlee must hire and retain employees with the technical expertise, skill set and industry knowledge necessary to continue to develop its solutions and effectively manage its growing sales, support and marketing organizations to ensure the growth of its business and the satisfaction of its customers.
Yodlee plans to continue to expand its engineering team, its direct sales force and marketing teams, and its customer support teams both domestically and internationally. Yodlee believes there is significant competition for professionals in these areas with the skills and technical knowledge necessary
83
to develop the solutions and perform the services Yodlee offers. Competition for these employees is particularly intense in the software and technology industries, including in India where a significant portion of Yodlee's employee headcount is located, and Yodlee may not be able to retain its existing employees or be able to recruit and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future. In addition, new hires require significant training and, in most cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity. Yodlee's recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as Yodlee expects or may take longer to become productive than Yodlee anticipates. If Yodlee cannot hire, train and retain qualified personnel, Yodlee's ability to continue to conduct its business could be impaired and its revenue could decline.
If Yodlee's intellectual property and technology are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by its competitors, its business and competitive position would suffer.
Yodlee relies on a combination of patent, copyright, service mark, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect its proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee had 72 issued patents in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions as well as additional pending patents applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Some of these patents relate to technology that is included in Yodlee's data aggregation platform and expire beginning in 2018. Any owned patents or patents that may issue in the future from pending or future patent applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection, may be invalidated or circumscribed or may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. In addition, recent changes to the patent laws in the United States may bring into question the validity of certain categories of software patents. As a result, Yodlee may not be able to obtain adequate patent protection for its software or effectively enforce any patents that issue in the future that cover its software. Also, Yodlee cannot assure you that any future service mark or trademark registrations will be issued for pending or future applications or that any registered service marks or trademarks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of its proprietary rights. Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which Yodlee's services are available. Unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of Yodlee's proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from its technologies without paying Yodlee for doing so, which could harm its business.
Yodlee endeavors to enter into agreements with its employees and contractors and agreements with parties with whom Yodlee does business to limit access to and disclosure of its proprietary information. The steps Yodlee has taken may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar or superior technologies, products or services.
Policing the unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive and Yodlee's monitoring and policing activities may not be sufficient to identify any misappropriation and protect Yodlee's proprietary technology. In addition, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe Yodlee's patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, and litigation may be necessary to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights. If litigation is necessary to protect and enforce Yodlee's intellectual property rights, any such litigation could be very costly, could divert management attention and resources and may not be successful, even when its rights have been infringed. For example, on December 2, 2014, Yodlee filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Plaid Technologies Inc. ("Plaid") has and is continuing to infringe on seven of its U.S. patents. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, enhanced damages, interest, fees, expenses, costs and injunctive relief against Plaid. It is too early to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or whether an adverse result would have a material adverse impact on Yodlee's operations or financial position. For additional information concerning the lawsuit, see "Description of Yodlee's BusinessLegal Proceedings" in this proxy statement/prospectus.
84
Yodlee also expects that the more successful it is, the more likely it becomes that competitors will try to develop products that are similar to Yodlee's, which may infringe on its proprietary rights. If Yodlee is unable to protect its proprietary rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to Yodlee's or similar technologies, its business, revenue, reputation and competitive position could be harmed.
Assertions by a third party that Yodlee is infringing on its intellectual property, whether successful or not, could subject it to costly and time-consuming litigation, expensive licenses or substantial indemnity obligations and may prevent it from selling its products and services.
The software and technology industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Although Yodlee has not suffered a material loss from third-party claims to date, from time to time, Yodlee faces allegations that Yodlee or its customers have infringed, misappropriated or violated intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary to determine the validity and scope of third-party intellectual property rights. Some of the claims may involve patent holding companies or non-practicing entities who have no relevant product revenue of their own, and against whom Yodlee's own patents may provide little or no deterrence. Yodlee's technologies may not be able to withstand third-party claims or rights against their use. Additionally, although Yodlee has licensed from other parties proprietary technology covered by patents, it cannot be certain that any such patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.
Furthermore, many of Yodlee's agreements require it to indemnify its customers for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase its costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that Yodlee pay damages if there were an adverse ruling related to any such claims. Such indemnity claims are often difficult to assess, particularly at an early stage and without significant further investigation, as the third-party intellectual property claims at issue often relate to features or functions offered by its customers that include a combination of its customers' solutions and those of third parties, as well as those provided by its platform; Yodlee may not have complete information regarding the infringement claims being asserted by the third party; and there may exist substantial questions relating to the validity of the third-party intellectual property alleged to be infringed. In addition, even if third-party infringement claims are successful, Yodlee may have defenses that limit or eliminate Yodlee's indemnification obligations. Although Yodlee has not been obligated to pay material amounts pursuant to such indemnification claims in the past, it could be obligated to do so in the future, and any such indemnity obligations could significantly exceed the revenues that Yodlee has derived under the related customer contract. These types of claims could harm Yodlee's relationships with its customers, may deter future customers from subscribing to its services and could expose Yodlee to litigation for these claims. Even if Yodlee is not a party to any litigation between a customer and a third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for Yodlee to defend its intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which it is a named party.
Any intellectual property rights claim against Yodlee or its customers, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle, and could divert management attention and financial resources. An adverse determination also could cause Yodlee to have to pay damages, modify its solutions or the Yodlee platform, stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party's rights or prevent Yodlee from offering its solutions to its customers. In addition, Yodlee may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, or procure or develop substitute solutions that do not infringe.
85
Yodlee's use of "open source" software could negatively affect its ability to sell its solutions and subject Yodlee to possible litigation.
Portions of the Yodlee platform and its solutions incorporate so-called "open source" software, and Yodlee may incorporate additional open source software in the future. Open source software is generally licensed by its authors or other third parties under open source licenses. If Yodlee fails to comply with these licenses, Yodlee may be subject to specified conditions, including requirements that Yodlee offer solutions that incorporate the open source software for no cost, that Yodlee make available source code for its modifications or derivative works of such open source software and that Yodlee license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of the particular open source license. If an author or other third party that distributes open source software that Yodlee uses were to allege that Yodlee had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, Yodlee could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, including being enjoined from the sale of Yodlee's solutions that contained the open source software and could be required to comply with the foregoing conditions, which could disrupt the sale of the affected solution. In addition, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their products. As a result, Yodlee could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what Yodlee believes to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for Yodlee to defend, have a negative effect on its operating results and financial condition and require it to devote additional research and development resources to change its solutions.
Litigation or investigations could result in significant settlements, fines or penalties.
Yodlee has been the subject of general litigation in the past, and could be the subject of litigation, including class actions, and regulatory or judicial proceedings or investigations in the future. For example, Yodlee, each of the members of the Yodlee Board, Envestnet and Merger Sub have been named as defendants in a putative class action challenging the merger in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Suman Inala v. Yodlee, Inc., et al. (Case No. 11461) (filed September 2, 2015). For additional information concerning the lawsuit, see "The MergerLitigation Related to the Merger" in this proxy statement/prospectus. The outcome of litigation and regulatory or judicial proceedings or investigations is difficult to predict. Plaintiffs or regulatory agencies in these matters may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts or seek to have aspects of Yodlee's business suspended or modified. The monetary and other impact of these actions may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The cost to defend, settle or otherwise resolve these matters may be significant.
If regulatory or judicial proceedings or investigations were to be initiated against Yodlee by private or governmental entities, Yodlee's business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Adverse publicity that may be associated with regulatory or judicial proceedings or investigations could negatively impact Yodlee's relationships with its customers and decrease acceptance and use of its solutions.
Yodlee has experienced rapid growth in recent periods. If Yodlee fails to manage its growth effectively, Yodlee may be unable to execute its business plan or maintain high levels of service and its financial results could be negatively impacted.
Yodlee has increased its number of full-time employees to 991 at June 30, 2015 from 969 at December 31, 2014 and have increased Yodlee's revenue to $89.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 from $57.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. Yodlee's recent growth and expansion has placed, and its anticipated growth may continue to place, a significant strain on its managerial, administrative, operational, financial and other resources. Yodlee intends to continue to expand Yodlee's overall business, customer base, headcount and operations. Expansion creates new and
86
increased management and training responsibilities for Yodlee's employees. In addition, continued growth increases the challenges involved in:
If Yodlee fails to manage its growth effectively, Yodlee may be unable to execute its business plan or maintain high levels of service for its customers. In addition, if Yodlee is unable to manage Yodlee's expenses related to growth effectively in the future, Yodlee's gross margins or operating expenses may be negatively impacted in any particular quarter.
Acquisition activity involving Yodlee's customers could adversely affect its business.
Acquisitions or similar transactions involving Yodlee's customers, including financial institutions, could negatively affect its business in a number of ways. After such a transaction, the acquirer might terminate, not renew or seek to renegotiate the economic terms of its contract with Yodlee. Companies involved in these transactions may experience integration difficulties that could increase the risk of providing Yodlee inaccurate or untimely data or delay deployment of its solutions. Any of Yodlee's existing customers may be acquired by an organization with no relationship with Yodlee, effectively terminating its relationship, or be acquired by an organization that already has online personal financial management and payment solutions integrated into its systems, or that offers competing services to ours, which might cause Yodlee to lose business and harm its revenue, operating results or financial condition.
Future acquisitions or investments could disrupt Yodlee's business and harm its financial condition.
As part of Yodlee's business strategy, Yodlee may pursue acquisitions or investments that it believes will help Yodlee to achieve its strategic objectives. The process of integrating an acquired business, product or technology can create unforeseen operating difficulties, expenditures and other challenges such as:
87
If Yodlee is unable to address these difficulties and challenges or other problems encountered in connection with any future acquisition or investment, it might not realize the anticipated benefits of that acquisition or investment, it might incur unanticipated liabilities or it might otherwise suffer harm to its business generally.
To the extent Yodlee pays the consideration for any future acquisitions or investments in cash, the payment would reduce the amount of cash available to Yodlee for other purposes. Future acquisitions or investments could also result in dilutive issuances of Yodlee's equity securities or the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, or impairment charges against goodwill on Yodlee's balance sheet, any of which could harm Yodlee's financial condition and negatively impact Yodlee's stockholders.
Yodlee is a multinational organization faced with increasingly complex tax issues in several jurisdictions, and Yodlee could be obligated to pay additional taxes in various jurisdictions.
As a multinational organization, Yodlee may be subject to taxation in several jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, the application of which can be uncertain. The amount of taxes Yodlee pays in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of changes in the applicable tax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents, which could have a material adverse effect on Yodlee's liquidity and operating results. In addition, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review Yodlee's tax returns and impose additional tax, interest and penalties, and the authorities could claim that various withholding requirements apply to Yodlee or its subsidiaries or assert that benefits of tax treaties is not available to Yodlee or its subsidiaries, any of which could have a material impact on Yodlee and its results of operations. For example, the taxing authorities of India and other jurisdictions in which Yodlee operates may challenge Yodlee's methodologies for allocating income and expense under its intercompany arrangements, including its transfer pricing, or determine that the manner in which Yodlee operates its business is not consistent with the manner in which Yodlee reports its income to the jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur, and Yodlee's positions were not sustained, Yodlee could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, resulting in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and higher expenses.
Yodlee may be subject to additional obligations to collect and remit sales tax and other taxes, and Yodlee may be subject to tax liability for past sales, which could adversely harm its business.
State, local and foreign jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value added and other taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. In particular, the applicability of such taxes to Yodlee's subscription cloud-based software platform in various jurisdictions is unclear. Further, these jurisdictions' rules regarding tax nexus are complex and vary significantly. As a result, Yodlee could face the possibility of tax assessments and audits, and its liability for these taxes and associated penalties could exceed Yodlee's original estimates. A successful assertion that Yodlee should be collecting additional sales, use, value added or other taxes in those jurisdictions where it has not historically done so and does not accrue for such taxes could result in substantial tax liabilities and related penalties for past sales, discourage customers from purchasing its services or otherwise harm its business and operating results.
88
Yodlee faces exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Yodlee has costs denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Indian Rupee, and Yodlee's revenue is primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar. This exposes Yodlee to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar, would negatively affect Yodlee's expenses and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. Yodlee manages its exposure to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee by entering into forward contracts to cover a portion of Yodlee's projected expenditures paid in the Indian Rupee. These contracts generally have a term of less than 12 months. The use of such forward contracts, or other hedging activities in which Yodlee may engage in the future, may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place.
If Yodlee fails to maintain proper and effective internal controls, its ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in its financial reports and have an adverse effect on its stock price.
Yodlee's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. If Yodlee is unable to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting, it might be unable to report its financial information on a timely basis and might suffer adverse regulatory consequences or violate stock market listing standards. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in Yodlee and the reliability of its financial statements. Yodlee has in the past and may in the future discover areas of Yodlee's internal financial and accounting controls and procedures that need improvement. Yodlee's internal controls over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Yodlee's company will be detected. If Yodlee is unable to maintain proper and effective internal controls, Yodlee may not be able to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, which could adversely affect Yodlee's ability to operate its business and could result in regulatory action, and could require Yodlee to restate Yodlee's financial statements. Any such restatement could result in a loss of public confidence in the reliability of Yodlee's financial statements and sanctions imposed on it by the SEC.
Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and harm Yodlee's operating results.
GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in accounting standards or practices could harm Yodlee's operating results and may even affect Yodlee's reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm Yodlee's operating results or the way Yodlee conducts its business.
89
Yodlee might not be able to utilize a significant portion of its net operating loss or other tax credit carryforwards, which could adversely affect its profitability.
As of December 31, 2014, Yodlee had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $162.0 million and $90.1 million, respectively. If not utilized, these federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2019 and 2015, respectively.
In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Yodlee's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes in any taxable year may be limited if Yodlee experience an "ownership change". A Section 382 "ownership change" generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of Yodlee's stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. Similar rules might apply under state tax laws. Future issuances or trading of Yodlee's stock could cause an "ownership change". It is possible that any future ownership change could have a material effect on the use of Yodlee's net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, which could adversely affect its profitability.
Natural disasters and other events beyond Yodlee's control could harm Yodlee's business.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to Yodlee's operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on Yodlee. Yodlee's business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond its control. Although Yodlee maintains crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for Yodlee to deliver its solutions to its customers, and could decrease demand for its solutions. The majority of Yodlee's research and development activities, corporate headquarters, information technology systems, and other critical business operations are located in California and India, both of which areas have experienced major earthquakes in the past. Significant recovery time could be required to resume operations and Yodlee's financial condition and operating results could be harmed in the event of a major earthquake or catastrophic event.
Adverse global economic conditions could harm Yodlee's business and financial condition.
The onset or continuation of adverse macroeconomic developments could negatively affect Yodlee's business and financial condition. Adverse global economic events have caused, and could, in the future, cause disruptions and volatility in global financial markets and increased rates of default and bankruptcy, and could impact consumer and small business spending. Challenging economic times could cause potential new customers not to purchase or to delay purchasing Yodlee's solutions, and could cause its existing customers to discontinue purchasing or delay upgrades of Yodlee's existing solutions, thereby negatively impacting its revenue and future financial results. In addition, a downturn in the banking and finance sector may disproportionately affect Yodlee because a significant portion of its customers operate in that sector. Yodlee cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery, whether global, regional or within specific markets. If the conditions of the general economy or markets in which Yodlee operates worsen, Yodlee's business and its future operating results could be harmed.

92
Yodlee Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
Only holders of record of Yodlee common stock at the close of business on October 12, 2015, the Yodlee record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Yodlee special meeting or any adjournments thereof. The proxy statement/prospectus and election form shall be mailed on or about October 21, 2015 to each holder of record of Yodlee common stock as of the record date for the Yodlee special meeting.
At the close of business on the Yodlee record date, 30,819,117 shares of Yodlee common stock were issued and outstanding and held by 191 holders of record. Holders of record of Yodlee common stock on the Yodlee record date are entitled to one vote per share at the Yodlee special meeting on each proposal. A list of stockholders of Yodlee will be available for review for any purpose germane to the Yodlee special meeting at Yodlee's headquarters, at 3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200, Redwood City, California 94065, during regular business hours for a period of ten days before the Yodlee special meeting. The list will also be available at the Yodlee special meeting during the whole time thereof for examination by any stockholder of record present at the Yodlee special meeting.
In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain stockholders of Yodlee, consisting of funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus, LLC ("Warburg Pincus"), entered into the voting agreement with Envestnet. Pursuant to the voting agreement, such stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Yodlee common stock (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the merger agreement and all other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (whether or not recommended by the Yodlee Board); (ii) against any action or agreement upon which Yodlee calls its stockholders to vote or consent in breach of the merger agreement; and (iii) against any acquisition proposal or any proposal for any recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of Yodlee's assets or other business combination between Yodlee and any other person (other than the merger) that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the merger and all other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These stockholders further agreed to (i) certain restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer, tender or otherwise disposition of their shares of Yodlee common stock and (ii) waiver and non-pursuit of any appraisal rights with respect to the merger. As of the record date, the stockholders who entered into the voting agreement with Envestnet collectively beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 8,160,691 shares of Yodlee common stock, which represent approximately 26.5% of outstanding Yodlee common stock entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting. A form of the voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix B.
No business may be transacted at the Yodlee special meeting unless a quorum is present. Attendance in person or by proxy at the Yodlee special meeting of holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting will constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present, or if fewer shares of Yodlee common stock are voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement than the number required for its adoption, the Yodlee special meeting may be adjourned to allow additional time for obtaining additional proxies or votes. At any subsequent reconvening of the Yodlee special meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as they would have been voted at the original convening of the Yodlee special meeting, except for any proxies that have been effectively revoked or withdrawn prior to the subsequent meeting.
Failures to vote will not be included in the calculation of the number of shares of Yodlee common stock represented at the Yodlee special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been achieved. Abstentions will be included in the calculation of the number of shares of Yodlee
93
common stock represented at the Yodlee special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been achieved. Under NASDAQ rules, if brokers do not have discretion to vote on any of the proposals at a stockholders' meeting, broker non-votes will not count toward the calculation of a quorum. As each of the proposals to be voted on at the Yodlee special meeting is considered "non-routine," brokers do not have discretion to vote on such proposals and as such, broker non-votes will not be included in the calculation of the number of shares of Yodlee common stock represented at the Yodlee special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been achieved.
The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock as of the record date for the Yodlee special meeting. Failures to vote, votes to abstain and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the proposal.
The approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Yodlee special meeting. Abstaining will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the proposal. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will not have an effect on the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
Failures to Vote, Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
Under applicable regulations, banks, brokerage firms or other nominees holding shares of record may vote those shares in their discretion on certain routine proposals when they do not receive timely voting instructions from the beneficial holders. A "broker non-vote" occurs under the applicable rules when a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee holding shares of record is not permitted to vote on a "non-routine" matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction is given.
In accordance with these rules, banks, brokers and other nominees who hold shares of Yodlee common stock in "street name" for their customers, but do not have discretionary authority to vote the shares, may not exercise their voting discretion with respect to the adoption of the merger agreement or the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Accordingly, if banks, brokers or other nominees do not receive specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, they may not vote such shares with respect to the adoption of the merger agreement or the Yodlee adjournment proposal. For shares of Yodlee common stock held in "street name," only shares of Yodlee common stock affirmatively voted "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement and the Yodlee adjournment proposal will be counted as affirmative votes therefor. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
Voting at the Yodlee Special Meeting
Whether or not you plan to attend the Yodlee special meeting, please submit a proxy for your shares. If you are a registered or "record" holder, which means your shares are registered in your name with Computershare Inc., Yodlee's transfer agent and registrar, you may vote in person at the Yodlee special meeting or by proxy. If your shares are held in "street name," which means your shares are held of record in an account with a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you must follow the instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee in order to vote.
94
If you plan to attend the Yodlee special meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Yodlee special meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in "street name," and you wish to vote at the Yodlee special meeting, you must bring to the Yodlee special meeting a proxy executed in your favor from the record holder (your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee) of the shares authorizing you to vote at the Yodlee special meeting.
In addition, if you are a registered Yodlee stockholder, please be prepared to provide proper identification, such as a driver's license, in order to be admitted to the Yodlee special meeting. If you hold your shares in "street name," you will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a recent account statement or letter from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, along with proper identification.
If you are a holder of record, a proxy card is enclosed for your use. Yodlee requests that you submit a proxy by:
You should submit your proxy in advance of the Yodlee special meeting even if you plan to attend the Yodlee special meeting. You can always change your vote at the Yodlee special meeting.
If you hold your shares of Yodlee common stock in a stock brokerage account or if your shares are held in "street name," you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares of Yodlee common stock held in "street name" by returning a proxy card directly to Yodlee or by voting in person at the Yodlee special meeting unless you have a "legal proxy," which you must obtain from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Further, brokers who hold shares of Yodlee common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Yodlee to vote those shares without specific instructions from their customers.
If you are a Yodlee stockholder and you do not instruct your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your bank, brokerage firm broker or other nominee, as applicable, may not vote your shares on any of the proposals to be considered and voted upon at the Yodlee special meeting as all such matters are deemed "non-routine" matters pursuant to applicable NASDAQ rules. If a proxy is returned without an indication as to how the shares of Yodlee common stock represented are to be voted with regard to a particular proposal, the shares of Yodlee common stock represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Yodlee Board and, therefore, "FOR" each of the proposals to be considered and voted upon at the Yodlee special meeting. As of the date hereof, management has no knowledge of any business that will be presented for consideration at the Yodlee special meeting and that would be required to be set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus or the related proxy card other than the matters set forth in Yodlee's
95
Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. If any other matter is properly presented at the Yodlee special meeting for consideration, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and acting thereunder will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.
Your vote is important. Accordingly, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card whether or not you plan to attend the Yodlee special meeting in person.
All shares of Yodlee common stock represented by properly executed proxies received in time for the Yodlee special meeting will be voted at the Yodlee special meeting in the manner specified by the stockholders giving those proxies. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement and the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
Only shares of Yodlee common stock affirmatively voted for the applicable proposal, and properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions, will be counted as favorable votes for adoption of the merger agreement and the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as votes "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Yodlee adjournment proposal. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
If you are the record holder of shares of Yodlee common stock, you can change or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Yodlee special meeting. You can do this by:
A registered Yodlee stockholder may revoke a proxy by any of these methods, regardless of the method used to deliver the Yodlee stockholder's previous proxy. Written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to the revocation of proxies should be addressed as follows:
Yodlee, Inc.
3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200
Redwood City, California 94065
Attention: Corporate Secretary
If your shares are held in "street name" by your broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to change your vote.
Yodlee is soliciting proxies for the Yodlee special meeting from its stockholders. In accordance with the merger agreement, Yodlee and Envestnet will share equally all fees and expenses in relation to the printing, filing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. Yodlee will pay all of its other costs of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by Yodlee's directors, officers and employees in person or by telephone or other means of communication. These
96
persons will not receive additional compensation, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this solicitation.
Yodlee has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Yodlee special meeting. Yodlee estimates that it will pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of approximately $25,000 for proxy solicitation services. Yodlee will also reimburse Innisfree M&A Incorporated for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Innisfree M&A Incorporated and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Yodlee will make arrangements with brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares of Yodlee common stock held of record by them. Yodlee will also reimburse these brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy materials.
Any adjournment of the Yodlee special meeting may be made from time to time by either the chairperson of the Yodlee special meeting or the Yodlee stockholders, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, without further notice other than by an announcement made at the Yodlee special meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Yodlee special meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Yodlee special meeting but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Yodlee special meeting to approve the adoption of the merger agreement, then Yodlee stockholders may be asked to vote to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting so as to permit the further solicitation of proxies.
Under the merger agreement, Yodlee may, without the prior consent of Envestnet, postpone or adjourn the Yodlee special meeting to the extent necessary in order to conduct business at the Yodlee special meeting if (i) as of November 19, 2015, there are insufficient shares of Yodlee common stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Yodlee special meeting, or if on the date of such special meeting Yodlee has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the stockholders' approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, (ii) Yodlee is required to postpone or adjourn the Yodlee special meeting by applicable law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (iii) Yodlee has sent to its stockholders or otherwise made available to them any new material information or disclosure since the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Yodlee or the Yodlee Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Yodlee special meeting in order to give the stockholders of Yodlee sufficient time to evaluate any such new material information or disclosure.
Yodlee Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement
Yodlee is asking its stockholders to adopt the merger agreement. For a detailed discussion of the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement" in this proxy statement/prospectus. As discussed in the section entitled "The MergerRecommendation of the Yodlee Board; Yodlee's Reasons for the Merger," after careful consideration, the Yodlee Board unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and declared the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, to be advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and the Yodlee stockholders.
97
Required Vote
The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote thereon. Failures to vote, votes to abstain and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the proposal.
The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement.
Yodlee Proposal 2: Adjournment of the Yodlee Special Meeting
Yodlee stockholders are being asked to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve such proposal.
If, at the Yodlee special meeting, there are an insufficient number of shares of Yodlee common stock present in person or represented by proxy and voting in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, Yodlee may move to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, in order to enable the Yodlee Board to solicit additional proxies for approval of such proposal.
Yodlee is asking its stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Yodlee Board to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to the proxy holders, and each of them individually, to adjourn the Yodlee special meeting to another time and place for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If the Yodlee stockholders approve this proposal, Yodlee could adjourn the Yodlee special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Yodlee stockholders who have previously voted. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days or, if after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a new notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.
Required Vote
The approval of the Yodlee adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy. Abstaining will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the proposal. Failures to vote and broker non-votes, if any, will not be voted, but this will not have an effect on the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that Yodlee stockholders vote "FOR" the Yodlee adjournment proposal.
The following is a discussion of the merger and the material terms of the merger agreement. You are urged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated by reference herein.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the effective time, Merger Sub will merger with and into Yodlee, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will continue as the surviving corporation and become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet.
98
At the effective time, each outstanding share of Yodlee common stock (except for (i) shares of Yodlee common stock as to which the holders thereof have not voted in favor of the merger or consented thereto in writing and have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal (the "dissenting shares") and (ii) shares of Yodlee common stock owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration consisting of the per share cash consideration and the per share stock consideration, subject to adjustment so that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable as the stock portion of the merger consideration plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Envestnet common stock subject to restricted stock awards of Envestnet issuable pursuant to the merger agreement, will not exceed 19.9% of the shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time. If the aggregate consideration to be paid to any holder of Yodlee common stock would result in such holder receiving a fractional share of Envestnet common stock, cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional share. Envestnet stockholders will continue to hold their existing shares of Envestnet common stock. At the effective time, all shares of Yodlee common stock that are owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet (including Merger Sub) will be cancelled and will cease to exist. Vested options, unvested options and restricted stock units of Yodlee will be treated as provided under the section entitled "The Merger AgreementTreatment of Yodlee Equity Awards" of this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled "The Merger AgreementAppraisal Rights" of this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the appraisal rights available to Yodlee stockholders and the procedures required to exercise such appraisal rights with respect to the dissenting shares.
The Yodlee Board, together with Yodlee management, regularly reviews Yodlee's strategic direction and competitive position with a view to enhancing stockholder value. This review has, from time to time, involved, among other things, (1) continuing to execute on Yodlee's current standalone business plan, (2) modification to Yodlee's strategy and product direction, (3) potential opportunities for significant partnerships, strategic alliances, or acquisitions or business combinations to grow Yodlee's business and operations, (4) an initial public offering of Yodlee common stock and (5) a possible sale of the Company.
Through the course of 2012 and 2013, a number of parties indicated a potential interest in an acquisition of the Company. In connection with one such inquiry, on September 17, 2012, Yodlee engaged Goldman Sachs as its exclusive financial advisor with respect to a possible sale of the Company. While none of these inquiries led to an agreement, several parties asked Yodlee to keep them apprised of its strategic developments, including plans to potentially sell the Company.
Beginning in November 2013, Yodlee commenced preparations for a potential initial public offering of Yodlee common stock. As a potential alternative to an initial public offering, the Yodlee Board evaluated numerous strategic alternatives for the Company, ranging from corporate partnering and restructuring transactions, to growth equity financings and secondary stock sales to private equity funds, to a sale of the entire Company. In connection with this evaluation, the Company contacted multiple parties that could be a potential partner, investor or acquiror of the Company.
By January 2014, the Yodlee Board became focused primarily on an initial public offering. After evaluating several investment banks, the Yodlee Board authorized engagement of Goldman Sachs to act as lead underwriter for such initial public offering. In addition, the Yodlee Board instructed management and Goldman Sachs to continue discussions regarding a sale of the Company with two
99
parties, whom we refer to as "Party A" and "Party B." These discussions continued on a periodic basis through June 2014.
On March 21, 2014 Yodlee confidentially filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, and on June 30, 2014 Yodlee publicly filed its registration statement with the SEC.
In October 2014, Yodlee consummated its initial public offering, and Yodlee common stock was listed for trading on NASDAQ.
In January 2015, representatives of Envestnet expressed an interest in entering into a commercial agreement with Yodlee. On February 26, Yodlee and Envestnet executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with the discussion of this potential commercial agreement.
From March to April, Envestnet and Yodlee engaged in discussions regarding such a commercial agreement. During these discussions, the parties also explored the possibility of including a strategic minority investment by Envestnet, either in primary shares issued by Yodlee or secondary shares to be sold by existing stockholders of Yodlee, with the commercial agreement. On March 3, members of Yodlee senior management met with members of Envestnet senior management, including Judson Bergman, Envestnet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, at Envestnet's headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. On April 20, representatives of Envestnet conducted a due diligence trip to Yodlee's offices in Bangalore, India, and on April 21, representatives of Yodlee and representatives of Envestnet convened at Yodlee's headquarters in Redwood City, California, where Yodlee management provided a general overview of the Company's products and technologies.
On April 28, based on the preceding months of investigation, discussion and business and financial diligence performed on Yodlee, Envestnet expressed an interest in exploring a potential acquisition of Yodlee as a potential alternative to the previously proposed strategic minority investment and commercial agreement. Anil Arora, Yodlee's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, encouraged Mr. Bergman to provide an outline of proposed terms and conditions of such an acquisition transaction so that he could discuss it with the Yodlee Board.
Thereafter, on May 13, Mr. Bergman submitted to Mr. Arora two non-binding preliminary proposals. One outlined the terms of a potential strategic minority investment, whereby Envestnet would purchase an interest of 9.9% or more of Yodlee outstanding common stock, either through an issuance of new shares of Yodlee common stock or from existing Yodlee stockholders, and a long-term commercial agreement. The second outlined the terms of an acquisition transaction for an aggregate consideration valued at $537 million, consisting of a combination of cash and Envestnet common stock. At that time, Mr. Bergman informed Mr. Arora of his concern about the participation of William Harris, Jr., a member of the Yodlee Board, due to his role as a member of the board of directors of a competitor of Envestnet. Mr. Arora then discussed the situation with Mr. Harris and several other members of the Yodlee Board, and, as a result, Mr. Harris agreed to recuse himself from any board discussions involving the Envestnet transaction.
On May 14, Mr. Arora and Patrick Hackett, a member of the Yodlee Board, met with Mr. Bergman to discuss their preliminary views of the proposals. At that time, Messrs. Arora and Hackett informed Mr. Bergman that they did not believe that the Yodlee Board would be interested in pursuing a strategic minority investment in the Company.
In the meantime, also during May, a party referred to herein as "Party C" had been in discussions with Yodlee in connection with a potential commercial agreement in the ordinary course of Yodlee's business. During this time, Party C expressed an interest in deepening the strategic relationship between the parties.
On May 21, the Yodlee Board held a regularly scheduled meeting. Representatives of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation ("WSGR") reviewed with the Yodlee Board its
100
fiduciary duties in the context of an acquisition of the Company. Mr. Arora briefed the Yodlee Board on the state of discussions with Envestnet, including the emergence of a proposal regarding a potential acquisition of Yodlee in addition to a potential commercial agreement which might also include a strategic minority investment. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed with the Yodlee Board the material terms of Envestnet's proposals, Envestnet's business, operations and financial condition and other financial aspects of a potential business combination with Envestnet. The Yodlee Board also discussed alternatives for a market check with additional potential buyers. At that time, Yodlee management indicated that Party C expressed an interest in deepening the strategic relationship with Yodlee. Given the experience of Yodlee in the previous two years, the Yodlee Board determined that the most likely buyers would be a small group of strategic parties, including Party A, Party B, Party C and another party that had previously indicated that they would be interested in a future acquisition of the Company. The Yoldee Board determined, however, to contact other potential buyers only if Envestnet improved its offer, both in price and detailed terms.
Following the meeting on May 21, Mr. Arora informed Mr. Bergman of the Yodlee Board's determination that the Yodlee Board was not interested in a strategic minority investment in the Company. He also informed Mr. Bergman that Envestnet's acquisition proposal would need to be improved in order for the Yodlee Board to entertain further strategic discussions. Mr. Bergman indicated that the offer could potentially be improved, depending upon the results of Envestnet's ongoing due diligence review of Yodlee.
During June, Envestnet continued its due diligence review of Yodlee. On June 8 and 9, senior management of Yodlee and Envestnet met at Envestnet's headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to conduct full-day management due diligence sessions and to discuss potential revenue and cost synergies, and on June 10, Mr. Arora met with the Envestnet Board of Directors to provide a presentation on Yodlee's business, products and services.
On June 19, representatives of Yodlee and representatives of Envestnet held a conference call to discuss financial projections.
On June 24, representatives of Yodlee and representatives of Envestnet convened in San Francisco, California to discuss potential revenue and cost synergies that could be attained as a result of a combination.
On July 2, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Mr. Arora updated the Yodlee Board regarding the state of discussions with Envestnet and informed the Yodlee Board that Envestnet would likely submit a revised proposal in the near future. Yodlee management also communicated that Party C continued to express an interest in deepening the strategic relationship with Yodlee, and that management presentations relating to a commercial agreement were scheduled for the following week in Party C's offices.
On July 6 and 7, Yodlee senior management provided full-day management due diligence presentations to representatives of Party C in the offices of Party C. At the time, these diligence presentations were primarily focused on a commercial agreement.
On July 7, Envestnet sent a revised proposal. The revised Envestnet proposal included the purchase of outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock from public stockholders at a price of $18.50 per share, while certain existing institutional stockholders would receive a lower price under certain circumstances. In each case, the consideration would consist of both cash and stock of Envestnet.
On July 8, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Mr. Arora briefed the Yodlee Board on the background of the revised Envestnet proposal. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed the material terms of the revised proposal, other financial aspects of the revised proposal, and possible next steps with the Yodlee Board. The Yodlee Board determined to reject the revised Envestnet proposal. The Yodlee Board also determined that it would continue to engage with Envestnet only if all Yodlee
101
stockholders would receive the same higher consideration, Envestnet improved its offer, and the parties worked towards a definitive timetable to announce a transaction. The Yodlee Board instructed Yodlee management and representatives of Goldman Sachs to continue discussions with Party C and that, upon further progress with negotiations with Envestnet, Yodlee management and representatives of Goldman Sachs should contact Party A, Party B and another party that had been contacted by Yodlee senior management in 2013, referred to herein as "Party D."
Following the July 8 meeting, representatives of Goldman Sachs spoke with representatives of Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. ("Sandler"), Envestnet's financial advisor, to inform them of the Yodlee Board's determination regarding the Envestnet proposal. Contemporaneously, Mr. Arora informed Mr. Bergman of the Yodlee Board's determination.
Later, on July 8 and 9, representatives of Goldman Sachs and representatives of Sandler spoke regarding price, the detailed terms of the offer and Envestnet's plans to finance a portion of the cash component of the purchase price. During such period, Joseph Polverari, Yodlee's Chief Strategy and Development Officer, spoke with Viggy Mokkarala, Envestnet's Executive Vice President, Strategic Development, to emphasize the importance of these issues to the Yodlee Board.
On July 10, Envestnet submitted a revised proposal. Envestnet proposed the purchase of all the shares of Yodlee common stock at a price of $18.50 per share of Yodlee common stock, consisting of, at the election of the Yodlee stockholder, cash and/or stock. With respect to the stock portion of the merger consideration, Envestnet proposed a 10% symmetrical collar that would be determined in connection with the negotiation of the definitive acquisition agreement. The Envestnet proposal also contemplated third party debt financing in connection with this proposal, as well as Yodlee entering into a 60-day exclusivity agreement.
Also on July 10, Yodlee management instructed representatives of Goldman Sachs to begin contacting the other potential buyers in accordance with the Yodlee Board's instructions.
On July 13, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Mr. Arora briefed the Yodlee Board on the discussions with Envestnet and the receipt of the revised proposal. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed with the Yodlee Board the material terms of the revised proposal, including issues related to cash election and collar mechanisms, and other financial aspects of the proposed transaction. Representatives of Goldman Sachs also discussed with the Yodlee Board their view of Envestnet's ability to raise its price per share by increasing the level of debt financing and increasing the number of shares available without necessitating an Envestnet stockholder vote, which vote would increase the level of uncertainty of closing associated with the potential acquisition. The Yodlee Board discussed potential responses to the latest Envestnet proposal and determined to respond by asking for $19.25 per share of Yodlee common stock and a limit on the number of Envestnet shares issuable in the transaction of 19.5% of the Envestnet outstanding shares in order to avoid a requirement to obtain Envestnet stockholder approval of the issuance of Envestnet common stock, which the Yodlee Board had determined would add too much uncertainty to the transaction. The Yodlee Board was also unwilling to enter into exclusivity until (1) Envestnet's proposal had greater certainty and (2) the Yodlee Board had completed its market check. Mr. Arora and representatives of Goldman Sachs apprised the Yodlee Board of engagement efforts with other potential buyers. Party C had indicated that it was not interested in a potential acquisition transaction but remained interested in pursuing a commercial agreement. Party A and Party B were both considering a potential transaction and Party D had not been contacted yet.
Following the Yodlee board meeting on July 13, Mr. Arora contacted Mr. Bergman to inform him that the Company would be sending a counterproposal to Envestnet on the following day.
On July 14, Goldman Sachs sent a counterproposal to Sandler and Envestnet, which raised the price to $19.25 per share and limited the number of Envestnet shares issuable in the transaction to 19.5% of the Envestnet outstanding shares. The counterproposal indicated that Yodlee would be willing to enter into a limited period of exclusivity after certain transaction milestones had been satisfied, including initial exchange of revisions to the definitive agreements, Envestnet's completion of business diligence and delivery of a draft commitment letter from Envestnet's debt financing source(s).
102
On the same day, Mr. Arora received responses from Party B and Party D. In particular, Party B indicated it was not interested in pursuing a potential acquisition transaction but was interested in a commercial agreement. Party D confirmed that it was no longer interested in an acquisition of the entire company, but expressed a possible interest in an acquisition of a portion of Yodlee's business or, in the alternative, a commercial transaction.
Later on July 14, Party A indicated to Mr. Arora that it was interested in investigating a potential acquisition of Yodlee. To that end, Party A proposed to schedule an all-day management due diligence session for July 21. Mr. Arora updated the Yodlee Board by email of the responses from Party A, Party B and Party D.
On July 15, Party A delivered a draft confidentiality agreement and began a process of informing Yodlee of the presentation materials that would be required for the July 21 meeting. Later in the day, Yodlee provided comments to the confidentiality agreement and returned it to Party A.
Also on July 15, representatives of Goldman Sachs and Sandler met telephonically to discuss the terms of the Yodlee counterproposal. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed Yodlee's rationale for certain of the terms in the counterproposal, addressing their view of Envestnet's ability to finance the $19.25 per share price and alternatives to maximize the number of shares issuable under the 19.9% threshold. Goldman Sachs also indicated that not crossing the 19.9% threshold constituted a fundamental issue for Yodlee because the uncertainty associated with an Envestnet stockholder vote was unacceptable as a deal risk to the Yodlee Board. Mr. Arora and Mr. Bergman spoke later that day to address related matters, including Envestnet's ability to meet Yodlee's counterproposal and Envestnet's willingness to accept the 19.9% limitation on stock issuance.
From July 15 to 20, representatives of Yodlee, Envestnet, Goldman Sachs, Sandler, WSGR and Mayer Brown LLP ("Mayer Brown"), Envestnet's outside counsel, continued to discuss the terms of the Yodlee counterproposal. Envestnet's borrowing capacity to finance the $19.25 per share price and the calculation of the Envestnet stockholder vote limitation were the focus of these discussions.
On July 16, Party A and Yodlee executed a confidentiality agreement, and Yodlee began to provide due diligence materials to Party A.
From July 16 to 20, Yodlee continued to prepare materials necessary for the July 21 meeting with Party A, including incorporating additional requests for topics to be addressed in such presentations.
On July 21, Yodlee senior management and representatives of Party A met at Party A's offices to conduct full-day management due diligence sessions. Representatives of Goldman Sachs informed a representative of Party A that if it had an interest in pursuing an acquisition transaction, it would need to move quickly as Yodlee expected to be in a position to announce a transaction between Yodlee and another party (Envestnet) as early as August 12.
Also on July 21, representatives of Envestnet informed representatives of Yodlee that a revised proposal of $18.88 per share would be sent the following day.
On July 22, Envestnet sent a revised proposal, including a request for exclusivity through August 31.
On July 23, representatives of Yodlee called representatives of Envestnet to discuss the revised proposal and alerted Envestnet to a price discrepancy, given the expectations that Envestnet had established with Yodlee on July 21. In addition, senior management of Yodlee indicated to senior management of Envestnet that if the target announcement timing of August 12 were not achieved, Yodlee's expectation of value would rise to above $19 per share, closer to $19.50 per share. Envestnet sent another revised proposal, including a term sheet offering $18.88 per share of Yodlee common stock.
103
On July 24, representatives of Envestnet and Yodlee and, separately representatives of Sandler and Goldman Sachs, discussed Envestnet's revised proposal and a timeline to reach a definitive agreement in respect of such proposal by mid-August. Later that day, representatives of Goldman Sachs sent representatives of Sandler a revised term sheet reflecting a counterproposal authorized by Yodlee management. The terms of such transaction included a 10% symmetrical collar, a 19.9% limitation on Envestnet common stock and a cash top-up mechanism to preserve the value of the consideration payable to Yodlee stockholders at $18.88 per share in the event that the number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable in the transaction reached the 19.9% issuance limitation within the collar range. Under such proposal, Yodlee reiterated that it would be willing to enter into a limited period of exclusivity after certain transaction milestones had been satisfied, including initial exchange of revisions to the definitive agreements, Envestnet's completion of business diligence and delivery of a draft commitment letter from Envestnet's debt financing source(s).
On July 25, a representative of Party A informed representatives of Goldman Sachs that Party A was interested in pursuing a potential acquisition transaction, but asked for Yodlee's expectations on the transaction value. Party A also made clear that, in the event Party A elected to submit a proposal, Party A would require extensive due diligence information, management meetings and Yodlee to enter into an exclusivity agreement. Representatives of Goldman Sachs informed Party A that Yodlee was involved in a competitive bidding situation and that the current valuation range under discussion between Yodlee and the other interested party (Envestnet) was around $19.00 to $19.50 per share of Yodlee common stock. Also, because of the competitive process, Yodlee would be unable to enter into an exclusivity agreement with Party A. In addition, representatives of Goldman Sachs informed Party A that it would need to move quickly as the target announcement date for a transaction would be August 12.
In the meantime, from July 22 to 27, representatives of Party A submitted numerous follow up due diligence inquiries to Yodlee management and to representatives of Goldman Sachs. Yodlee continued to provide ongoing responses to these requests.
On July 27, Party A expressed to Yodlee a high level of interest in proceeding with a potential acquisition transaction at a price between $19.00 and $19.50 per share of Yodlee common stock, consisting of all cash consideration. Party A expressed a willingness to move forward without an exclusivity agreement and committed to move quickly towards executing a definitive acquisition agreement by mid-August. On the same day, representatives of Party A and its outside counsel, Yodlee, WSGR and Goldman Sachs convened to discuss the commencement of due diligence meetings and the provision of further information to Party A, as well as the structure of a definitive acquisition agreement and the various work streams associated with the process.
Also on July 27, Mayer Brown circulated initial drafts of the Envestnet merger agreement and voting agreement to WSGR.
On July 28, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Representatives of WSGR reviewed the Yodlee Board's fiduciary duties in the context of an acquisition. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed with the Yodlee Board the material terms of the proposals offered by Envestnet and Party A and the state of interactions with both parties, as well as other financial aspects of the current proposals. Representatives of WSGR reviewed the material issues identified in the draft merger agreement received from Envestnet. The Yodlee Board then discussed possible alternative approaches to negotiating with both Envestnet and Party A in a manner designed to maximize the value for Yodlee stockholders. The Yodlee Board expressed particular concern that the Envestnet proposal was very close to the highest price Envestnet was believed to be able to offer in terms of cash consideration, and it could terminate negotiations. Therefore, the Yodlee Board determined the best approach was to continue finalizing both agreements independently.
104
From July 28 through 30, representatives of Party A, Yodlee and Goldman Sachs participated in full-day due diligence meetings. In addition, during this time, representatives of Yodlee management continued to provide due diligence materials, participated in meetings and conference calls with representatives of Party A and responded to the numerous additional due diligence requests of Party A.
On July 29, representatives of Yodlee, Goldman Sachs, WSGR, Envestnet, Sandler and Mayer Brown met telephonically to discuss the draft merger agreement and to plan a path to complete negotiations by August 10. The principal issues identified in the draft merger agreement were the financing arrangements, including the provision of a debt commitment letter, the collar and the cash top-up provision.
From July 29 through August 10, WSGR and Mayer Brown exchanged drafts of the merger agreement, voting agreement and the debt commitment letter and continued to negotiate the terms of the definitive agreements.
On July 31, Party A informed Yodlee that, after discussing the Yodlee business with its senior management, Party A had determined to withdraw its participation with respect to a potential acquisition transaction of Yodlee, based on the relative size and growth rates of particular business segments of Yodlee and the synergies available to them within those business segments.
On August 3 and 4, representatives of Envestnet continued with their due diligence review of Yodlee. At the same time, representatives of Yodlee conducted a due diligence review of Envestnet. Envestnet provided due diligence materials to, and responded to the due diligence requests of, representatives of Yodlee and Goldman Sachs and representatives of Goldman Sachs and Yodlee and representatives of Sandler and Envestnet participated in due diligence sessions with respect to Envestnet via teleconferences.
On August 5, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Representatives of WSGR and Goldman Sachs summarized the state of negotiations, including negotiations with respect to the merger agreement and debt commitment letter, the proposed communications plans for the announcement of the merger and steps to conclude negotiations by August 10. Representatives of Yodlee management briefed the Yodlee Board on the status of due diligence on Yodlee by Envestnet and due diligence on Envestnet's business and financial forecasts by Yodlee.
On August 5 and 6, representatives of WSGR, Mayer Brown, Yodlee, Envestnet, Goldman Sachs and Sandler met telephonically to negotiate the open issues in the merger agreement, including the structure of the collar and the midpoint of the collar, or the reference price, the cash top-up provision and the financing provisions.
On August 7, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. Representatives of Goldman Sachs discussed with the Yodlee Board financial aspects of the Envestnet transaction, including the implications with respect to the collar and reference price, the 19.9% limitation on Envestnet common stock and the cash top-up provision. The Yodlee Board discussed with representatives of Goldman Sachs that a lower reference price (or lower collar price range) would provide greater protection to Yodlee stockholders because it would ensure $18.88 per share of value for Yodlee stockholders through a lower Envestnet share price at closing, and that, when the collar mechanism was agreed upon, the reference price would have been lower than on August 7. The Yodlee Board also discussed with representatives of Goldman Sachs the implications of a cap on the cash top-up in the event the 19.9% limitation occurred within the collar. In addition, representatives of WSGR reviewed with the Yodlee Board its fiduciary duties in the context of an acquisition. Representatives of WSGR then reviewed with the Yodlee Board the terms of the merger agreement, the voting agreement and the debt commitment letter, including open issues related to the agreements.
On August 8, representatives of Goldman Sachs, Yodlee, Sandler and Envestnet negotiated the reference price with respect to the collar. Through the course of the day, representatives of Envestnet
105
and Yodlee reached a compromise and agreed to a reference price of $43.34, which would be the midpoint of the collar.
On August 9, the Yodlee Board held a special meeting. At such meeting, Mr. Harris, who had previously recused himself from board meetings involving Envestnet, began participating again in board meetings with Envestnet's consent. Representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed its financial analyses of the consideration to be received in the Envestnet proposal. Representatives of WSGR reviewed the terms of the merger agreement and the resolution of the open issues in the agreement.
On August 9 and 10, WSGR and Mayer Brown finalized the drafts of the merger agreement, voting agreement and debt commitment letter.
On August 10, the Yodlee Board convened a special meeting to consider approving the transaction with Envestnet. Representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed with the Yodlee Board its financial analyses of the merger consideration and delivered to the Yodlee Board an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 10, 2015, that, as of that date and based on and subject to various assumptions, matters considered and limitations and qualifications described in its opinion, the merger consideration to be paid to holders of shares of Yodlee common stock was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. After further deliberation and consideration of each of the factors described below in the section entitled "Recommendation of the Yodlee Board of Directors; Yodlee's Reasons for the Merger," the Yodlee Board unanimously (1) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, were fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (2) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (3) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (4) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the merger agreement in accordance with the DGCL and (5) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose.
On August 10, the Envestnet Board of Directors unanimously approved the merger.
Following the Yodlee Board of Directors meeting and the Envestnet Board of Directors meeting on August 10, the parties executed the merger agreement. After the close of the market, Yodlee and Envestnet issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the merger agreement.
Recommendation of the Yodlee Board; Yodlee's Reasons for the Merger
The Yodlee Board has unanimously: (i) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (ii) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (iii) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (iv) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the merger agreement in accordance with the DGCL and (v) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose.
The Yodlee Board unanimously recommends that you vote: (1) "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement; and (2) "FOR" the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of the Yodlee special meeting.
In evaluating the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, the Yodlee Board consulted with Yodlee management and Goldman Sachs and WSGR. In recommending that stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, the
106
Yodlee Board considered a number of factors, including the following (which are not necessarily presented in order of importance):
107
consideration to be paid to holders of shares of Yodlee common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders (see below under the section entitled "Opinion of Yodlee's Financial Advisor");
108
Envestnet has obtained a debt commitment letter from a reputable bank that is on customary and commercially reasonable terms;
The Yodlee Board also considered a number of uncertainties and risks concerning the merger, including the following (which factors are not necessarily presented in order of relative importance):
109
The foregoing discussion summarizes many, if not all, of the material factors considered by the Yodlee Board in its consideration of the merger, but it is not meant to be exhaustive. After considering these and other factors, the Yodlee Board concluded that the potential benefits of the merger outweighed the uncertainties and risks. In view of the variety of factors considered by the Yodlee Board and the complexity of these factors, the Yodlee Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the foregoing factors in reaching its determination and recommendations. Moreover, each member of the Yodlee Board applied his own personal business judgment to the process and may have assigned different weights to different factors. The Yodlee Board unanimously: (i) determined that the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (ii) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (iii) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (iv) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the
110
merger agreement in accordance with the DGCL and (v) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the Yodlee Board and certain information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, that information should be read in light of the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Opinion of Yodlee's Financial Advisor
Goldman Sachs rendered its opinion to the Yodlee Board that, as of August 10, 2015 and based upon, subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Yodlee common stock.
The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated August 10, 2015, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus. Goldman Sachs provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the Yodlee Board in connection with its consideration of the merger agreement. The Goldman Sachs opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of Yodlee common stock should vote with respect to the merger agreement or any other matter.
In connection with rendering the opinion described above and performing its related financial analyses, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other things:
Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior managements of Yodlee and Envestnet regarding their assessment of the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the Transaction and the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of
111
Yodlee and Envestnet; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the shares of Yodlee common stock and Envestnet common stock; compared certain financial and stock market information for Yodlee and Envestnet with similar financial and stock market information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the software industry and in other industries; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as Goldman Sachs deemed appropriate.
For purposes of rendering the opinion described above, Goldman Sachs, with Yodlee's consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, Goldman Sachs, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, Goldman Sachs assumed, with Yodlee's consent, that the Yodlee Management Forecasts and the Yodlee Management Synergies have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Yodlee. Goldman Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of Yodlee or Envestnet or any of their respective subsidiaries and it was not furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on Yodlee or Envestnet or on the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs has also assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the merger agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to its analysis.
Goldman Sachs' opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Yodlee to engage in the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Yodlee; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Goldman Sachs' opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Yodlee common stock, as of the date thereof, of the merger consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the merger agreement. Goldman Sachs' opinion does not express any view on, and does not address, any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or Transaction or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the merger agreement or entered into or amended in connection with the Transaction, including, the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of Yodlee; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of Yodlee, or class of such persons, in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the merger consideration to be paid to the holders of Yodlee common stock pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs is not expressing any opinion as to the prices at which Envestnet common stock will trade at any time or as to the impact of the Transaction on the solvency or viability of Yodlee or Envestnet or the ability of Yodlee or Envestnet to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Goldman Sachs' opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of its opinion and Goldman Sachs assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of its opinion. Goldman Sachs' opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Goldman Sachs.
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Goldman Sachs to the Yodlee Board in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Goldman Sachs, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Goldman Sachs. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include
112
information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before August 7, 2015, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.
Historical Stock Trading Analysis
Goldman Sachs analyzed the per share value to be paid to holders of Yodlee common stock in the merger (assumed to be $18.88 for purposes of this analysis) in relation to (1) the closing price as of August 7, 2015, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement; (2) the one-month, three-month and 12-month average closing price as of August 7, 2015; (3) the one-month, three-month and 12-month volume weighted average price as of August 7, 2015; and (4) the latest 12 months high as of August 7, 2015.
This analysis indicated that the per share value to be paid to holders of Yodlee common stock in the merger represented:
Note: All premia are based on prices as of market close.
Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Yodlee
Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of Yodlee to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Yodlee common stock. Using discount rates ranging from 13.5% to 15.5%, reflecting an estimate of Yodlee's weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of June 30, 2015, (i) estimates of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Yodlee during the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034 reflected in the Yodlee Management Forecasts, and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Yodlee as of December 31, 2035 calculated by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 4.5% to a terminal year estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Yodlee (reflecting the estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Yodlee in 2035) as reflected
113
in the Yodlee Management Forecasts. In addition, using a discount rate of 12.88%, reflecting an estimate of Yodlee's cost of equity, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of June 30, 2015 the estimated benefits of Yodlee's net operating losses ("NOLs") from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034, as reflected in the Yodlee Management Forecasts. Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for Yodlee by adding the ranges of present values it derived based on the estimated unlevered free cash flows of Yodlee for the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034, the ranges of present value it derived based on the illustrative terminal values for Yodlee as of December 31, 2035 and the present value it derived for the estimated benefits of Yodlee's NOLs for the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034. Goldman Sachs subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Yodlee an illustrative amount of cash and cash equivalents of Yodlee as of June 30, 2015 to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Yodlee as of June 30, 2015. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by an implied number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock (calculated on a treasury method basis based on information provided by Yodlee management) to derive a range of illustrative present values per Yodlee common stock ranging from $14.08-$18.59.
Pro Forma Combined Company
Goldman Sachs also performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of Envestnet taking into account consummation of the merger to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Envestnet common stock. Using discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 15.0%, reflecting an estimate of Envestnet's weighted average cost of capital taking into account consummation of the merger, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of June 30, 2015, (i) estimates of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Envestnet during the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034 reflected in the Yodlee Management Forecasts (which forecasts for the pro forma combined company took into account the Yodlee Management Synergies), and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Envestnet as of December 31, 2035 calculated by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 4.5% to a terminal year estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Envestnet taking into account consummation of the merger (reflecting the estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Envestnet in 2035) as reflected in the Yodlee Management Forecasts. In addition, using a discount rate of 4.25%, reflecting Yodlee management's estimate of Envestnet's cost of debt taking into account consummation of the merger, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of June 30, 2015 the estimated benefits of Envestnet's NOLs from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034 and the estimated benefits to Envestnet (taking into account the merger) of Yodlee's NOLs from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034, in each case as reflected in the Yodlee Management Forecasts. Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for Envestnet by adding the ranges of present values it derived based on the estimated unlevered free cash flows of Envestnet taking into account consummation of the merger for the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034, the ranges of present value it derived based on the illustrative terminal values for Envestnet as of December 31, 2035 and the present value it derived for the estimated benefits to Envestnet (taking into account the merger) of Envestnet's and Yodlee's NOLs for the period from the second half of calendar year 2015 through calendar year 2034. Goldman Sachs subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Envestnet, taking into account consummation of the merger, an illustrative amount of cash and cash equivalents of Envestnet and Yodlee as of June 30, 2015 to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Envestnet, taking into account consummation of the merger, as of June 30, 2015. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by an implied number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Envestnet common stock (calculated on a treasury method basis based on information provided by Yodlee management), taking into account the consummation of the merger, to derive a range of illustrative present values per
114
Envestnet common stock ranging from $41.12-$58.74. Based on this analysis, Goldman Sachs calculated a range of the implied per share value to be paid to holders of Yodlee common stock in the merger (assuming 15.1% pro forma ownership of Envestnet by the former Yodlee stockholders and $353 million of aggregate cash consideration in the merger) of $18.42 to $22.07 per share of Yodlee common stock.
Yodlee
Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared certain financial information, ratios and public market multiples for Yodlee to corresponding financial information, ratios and public market multiples for the following publicly traded corporations in the software industry:
Selected 2014 IPO Peers
SaaS Peers
Although none of the selected companies is directly comparable to Yodlee, the companies included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with operations that for purposes of analysis may be considered similar to certain operations of Yodlee.
Goldman Sachs also calculated and compared various financial multiples and ratios based on information it obtained from publicly available historical data and Institutional Brokers' Estimate System, or "IBES," estimates. The multiples and ratios were calculated using the applicable closing
115
market prices as of August 7, 2015. The multiples and ratios of Yodlee were based on IBES estimates and the Yodlee Management Forecasts, and the multiples and ratios of the selected companies were based on IBES estimates. With respect to the selected companies and Yodlee, Goldman Sachs calculated:

Illustrative Present Value of Future Stock Price Analysis
Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of the future price per share of Yodlee common stock, on a standalone basis, and of the implied per share value to be received by holders of Yodlee common stock in the merger (assuming 15.1% pro forma ownership of Envestnet by the former Yodlee stockholders and $353 million of aggregate cash consideration in the merger) based on the implied present value of the future price per share of Envestnet common stock. For this analysis, Goldman Sachs used the Yodlee Management Forecasts for each of the calendar years 2016 through 2018.

While none of the companies that participated in the selected transactions is directly comparable to Yodlee, the companies that participated in the selected transactions are companies with operations that, for the purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to certain of Yodlee's results, market size and product profile.
Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed the acquisition premia for certain publicly disclosed all cash transactions involving technology targets and mixed consideration transactions for all sectors since 2009 in which a majority stake was acquired, excluding share buybacks and any transaction with a premium in excess of 150% or a negative premium of less than 50%, calculated relative to the target's closing share price on the last trading day prior to announcement, based on information obtained from Thomson Reuters. Using such data for these 340 selected transactions, for each year for the years 2009 to 2015 (through August 7, 2015), Goldman Sachs calculated the annual average acquisition premium for these transactions for each applicable year. The results of this analysis are summarized as follows:

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company
120
or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Yodlee or Envestnet or the Transaction.
Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for purposes of Goldman Sachs' providing its opinion to the Yodlee Board that, based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, as of August 10, 2015, the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to holders (other than Envestnet or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Envestnet) of shares of Yodlee common stock. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Yodlee, Envestnet, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.
The merger consideration was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Yodlee and Envestnet and was approved by the Yodlee Board. Goldman Sachs provided advice to Yodlee during these negotiations. Goldman Sachs did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to Yodlee or the Yodlee Board or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transaction.
As described above, Goldman Sachs' opinion to the Yodlee Board was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Yodlee Board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Appendix C.
Goldman Sachs and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of Yodlee, Envestnet, any of their respective affiliates and third parties, including Warburg Pincus, a significant stockholder of Yodlee, and its affiliates and portfolio companies, or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Transaction. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to Yodlee in connection with, and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. Goldman Sachs also has provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Yodlee and/or its affiliates from time to time for which the Investment Banking Division of Goldman Sachs has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as lead manager with respect to Yodlee's initial public offering of 6,250,000 shares of Yodlee common stock in October 2014. Goldman Sachs also provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Warburg Pincus and/or its affiliates and portfolio companies from time to time for which the Investment Banking Division of Goldman Sachs has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as (i) financial advisor with respect to the sale of Bausch and Lomb Inc. in August 2013, (ii) lead bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 21,051,000 shares of Endurance International Group, Inc. in October 2013, (iii) lead bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 41,687,500 shares of ARAMARK Corporation in December 2013, (iv) as bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 85,242,042 shares of Satander Consumer USA Inc. in January 2014, (v) financial advisor with respect to the sale of Survitec Group Limited in March 2015, and (vi) bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 543,588,000 shares of Red Star Macalline Group in June 2015. Goldman Sachs may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Yodlee, Envestnet, Warburg Pincus and its
121
portfolio companies and their respective affiliates for which its Investment Banking Division may receive compensation. Affiliates of Goldman Sachs also may have co-invested with Warburg Pincus and its affiliates from time to time and may have invested in limited partnership units of affiliates of Warburg Pincus from time to time and may do so in the future.
The Yodlee Board selected Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Transaction. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated September 17, 2012, Yodlee engaged Goldman Sachs to act as its financial advisor in connection with the possible sale of all or a portion of Yodlee. Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter, Yodlee has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs a transaction fee of approximately $7 million, all of which is payable upon completion of the Transaction. In addition, Yodlee has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for certain of its expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Certain Yodlee Prospective Financial Information
Although Yodlee has publicly issued limited forecasts concerning various aspects of its expected financial performance, Yodlee does not make public disclosure of detailed forecasts or projections of its expected financial performance for extended periods because of, among other things, the inherent difficulty of accurately predicting financial performance for future periods and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may prove incorrect.
In connection with the evaluation of the merger, however, Yodlee management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for Yodlee on a standalone basis without giving effect to the merger (the "Yodlee Standalone Business Projections"), and on a combined basis with Envestnet, including Yodlee Management Synergies (the "Combined Business Projections," together with the Yodlee Standalone Business Projections, the "Yodlee Management Projections"). Yodlee is providing below certain unaudited prospective financial information that was made available to the Yodlee Board and provided to, and approved for use by, Goldman Sachs, for purposes of considering and evaluating the merger. Certain versions of the Yodlee Standalone Business Projections were also provided to Envestnet as part of Envestnet's due diligence review of Yodlee. Given the specific purposes for which such projections were prepared by Yodlee's management, such information may not be appropriate for other purposes, and is not included to influence your decision to vote for the adoption of the merger agreement.
The Yodlee Management Projections were not prepared for the purpose of public disclosure, nor were they prepared in compliance with published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts, or GAAP. Such projections do not represent Envestment management work product, and have not been reviewed or approved by Envestnet management. For purposes of Envestnet's evaluation of the merger, the Yodlee Management Projections represented only one component of a wide array of information collected and analysis conducted throughout its financial diligence process.
The Yodlee Management Projections have been prepared by Yodlee management, and are the sole and exclusive responsibility of, Yodlee management. Neither Yodlee's independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has examined, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to these internal financial forecasts and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The reports of any independent registered public accounting firm included or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus do not extend to the Yodlee Management Projections and should not be read to do so.
122
While presented with numeric specificity, the Yodlee Management Projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions (including, but not limited to, assumptions related to industry performance and competition and general business, economic, market and financial conditions and additional matters specific to Yodlee's businesses and the combined company) that are inherently subjective and uncertain and are beyond the control of Yodlee management. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these internal financial projections to not be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to Yodlee's business and the combined company (including either of their abilities to achieve strategic goals, objectives, targets and Yodlee Management Synergies over applicable periods), industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other factors described in the sections entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" of this proxy statement/prospectus. The Yodlee Management Projections also reflect numerous variables, expectations and assumptions of Yodlee management available at the time they were prepared as to certain assumed business decisions that are subject to change. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those contained in the Yodlee Management Projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Yodlee Management Projections will be realized.
The inclusion of a summary of the Yodlee Management Projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that any of Yodlee, Envestnet or their respective officers, directors, affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered the Yodlee Management Projections to necessarily be predictive of actual future events, and the Yodlee Management Projections should not be relied upon as such nor should the information contained in the Yodlee Management Projections be considered appropriate for other purposes. None of Yodlee, Envestnet or their respective officers, directors, affiliates, advisors or other representatives can give you any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Yodlee Management Projections. Yodlee undertakes no obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the Yodlee Management Projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date the projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Yodlee Management Projections are shown to be in error. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.
Yodlee has not made, and does not make, any representation to Envestnet or any stockholder in the merger agreement or otherwise, concerning the Yodlee Management Projections or regarding Yodlee's or Envestnet's future performance. Yodlee urges all stockholders to review Yodlee's and Envestnet's most recent SEC filings for descriptions of Yodlee's and Envestnet's reported financial results.

Interests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger
Stockholders should be aware that Yodlee's executive officers and members of the Yodlee Board have agreements or arrangements that may provide them with interests that may differ from, or be in addition to, those of stockholders generally, as more fully described below. The Yodlee Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent they existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and the merger and recommending that the merger agreement be adopted by stockholders. The completion of the merger will constitute a "change in control," a "change of control," and/or any term of similar meaning discussed in this section.
Yodlee's current executive officers and members of the Yodlee Board are:
Anil Arora | President, Chief Executive Officer, Director | |
Michael Armsby | Chief Financial Officer | |
Arun Anur | Senior Vice President, Services | |
Thomas Hempel | Senior Vice President, Engineering | |
David T. Lee | Chief Marketing Officer | |
Timothy O'Brien | Senior Vice President of Operations and Information Security | |
William C. Parsons | Chief Customer Officer | |
Joseph Polverari | Chief Strategy & Development Officer and Managing Director | |
Arjun Singh | Managing Director, Asia | |
Gayle Crowell | Director | |
Bruce C. Felt, Jr. | Director | |
Patrick T. Hackett | Director | |
William Harris, Jr. | Director | |
Mark Jung | Director |
In addition, Eric Connors served as Yodlee's Senior Vice President, Products through September 15, 2015, and John C. Colligan, Elizabeth A. Nelson and Dennis Phelps served on the Yodlee Board during Yodlee's fiscal year 2014 but resigned from the Yodlee Board prior to the end of such fiscal year. Mr. Connors announced his resignation as Yodlee's Senior Vice President, Products on September 14, 2015, in connection with the Company's plans to restructure its product team to align with market-driven customer needs.
As of the effective time, Anil Arora will be appointed as a director and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Envestnet.
As of August 15, 2015, Yodlee's then-current executive officers (including Mr. Connors) and members of the Yodlee Board held outstanding stock options to purchase 3,304,609 shares of Yodlee common stock. All of these stock options were in-the-money (that is, the exercise price was less than the price of the underlying stock) as of the same date. Each Yodlee stock option was granted under Yodlee's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"), 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, 2001 Stock Plan or 1999 Stock Plan (the "Yodlee equity plans") and subject to a stock option agreement (and any amendment thereto) under the applicable Yodlee equity plan between Yodlee and the award recipient.
126
In connection with the termination of Mr. Connors' employment with Yodlee and effective as of the date of such termination, any shares subject to Mr. Connors' stock options that remained unvested automatically were cancelled. As a result, any stock options that Mr. Connors holds as of the completion of the merger will be vested stock options. Accordingly, the treatment of unvested stock options described below is not applicable to any of his stock options referenced under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled "Interests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger."
Each vested and exercisable stock option granted pursuant to the equity plans of Yodlee that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger, including vested stock options, will be exercised immediately prior to the closing of the merger via a cashless net exercise. In a cashless net exercise, Yodlee will retain the number of shares of Yodlee common stock that would otherwise be received on the exercise of such vested stock option to cover the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding obligations and to issue the net number of shares of Yodlee common stock to the holder of the vested stock option. The value of a share of Yodlee common stock for these purposes will be the sum of (i) the per share cash consideration and (ii) the value of the per share stock consideration, which will be determined using the Envestnet stock value. At the effective time of the merger, each such share of Yodlee common stock will be converted into the right to receive the sum of the per share cash consideration and per share stock consideration pursuant to the same terms and conditions of the merger agreement as described above in the section entitled "The Merger AgreementConsideration to be Received in the Merger" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
All outstanding Yodlee unvested stock options will be assumed by Envestnet and converted into awards of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock. The number of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock that will be granted in exchange for each unvested Yodlee stock option will be equal to:
The value of the per share stock consideration will be determined using the Envestnet stock value. The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested stock option will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested stock option.
To the extent that the treatment of any Yodlee stock options in the merger that are subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in adverse tax consequences to the option holder, Yodlee, the surviving corporation, and/or Envestnet, Yodlee and Envestnet may adjust the treatment of such affected stock option to so comply or avoid adverse tax consequences in a manner that yields the option holder the intended economic benefit as described above.
As of August 15, 2015, Yodlee's then-current executive officers (including Mr. Connors) and members of the Yodlee Board held outstanding restricted stock units covering 487,630 shares of Yodlee common stock. Each Yodlee restricted stock unit award was granted under one of the Yodlee equity plans and subject to a restricted stock unit agreement (and any amendment thereto) under the applicable Yodlee equity plan between Yodlee and the award recipient.
127
In connection with the termination of Mr. Connors' employment with Yodlee and effective as of the date of such termination, any of Mr. Connors' restricted stock units that remained unvested automatically were cancelled and any restricted stock units that vested were settled in shares of Yodlee common stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement and 2014 Plan under which they were granted. As a result, Mr. Connors no longer has any outstanding restricted stock units and the treatment of restricted stock units described below is not applicable to any of his restricted stock units referenced under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled "Interests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger."
All outstanding Yodlee restricted stock units (the "unvested RSUs") that remain outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be assumed by Envestnet and converted into awards of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock. The number of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock that will be issued in exchange for each unvested RSU will be equal to:
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested RSUs will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested RSU. To the extent that the treatment of the unvested RSUs in the merger that are subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in adverse tax consequences to the unvested RSU holder, Yodlee, the surviving corporation, and/or Envestnet, Yodlee and Envestnet may adjust the treatment of such affected unvested RSUs to so comply or avoid adverse tax consequences in a manner that yields the unvested RSU holder the intended economic benefit as described above.
Yodlee has entered into a change of control severance agreement (referred to as a "Yodlee severance agreement") with each of Yodlee's current executive officers. Each Yodlee severance agreement provides that if Yodlee terminates the executive officer's employment with Yodlee for any reason other than "cause" (as defined in the Yodlee severance agreement), or the executive resigns for "good reason" (as defined in the Yodlee severance agreement), and in either case the termination occurs within 12 months after a change of control (as defined in the Yodlee severance agreement), the executive officer will receive: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of the executive officer's base salary in effect as of the date of such termination or, if greater, as in effect immediately prior to the change of control, and (ii) other than for Mr. Singh, continuing payments to reimburse the executive officer for continued coverage under Yodlee's group health plans for a period of up to 12 months.
As defined in the Yodlee severance agreements, "cause" generally means the executive officer's (i) commission of any act of personal dishonesty in connection with executive's responsibilities as a Yodlee employee which is intended to result in executive's substantial personal enrichment, (ii) conviction of a felony which the Yodlee Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on Yodlee's reputation or business, (iii) commission of any willful act which constitutes misconduct and is injurious to Yodlee, or (iv) continued willful violation by the executive of his or her obligations to Yodlee after Yodlee has issued a written demand for performance.
As defined in the Yodlee severance agreements, "good reason" generally means the executive officer's voluntary termination of employment with Yodlee after the expiration of a specified cure
128
period after one or more of the following occurring without the executive officer's consent: (i) a material reduction in the executive officer's base salary; (ii) a material reduction in the executive officer's position, duties, or responsibilities; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the individual performs services or (iv) Yodlee's failure to obtain an assumption of such executive officer's Yodlee severance agreement by any successor to Yodlee.
The following table sets forth the estimated payments and benefits that each executive officer who has a Yodlee severance agreement could become entitled to receive under his Yodlee severance agreement upon a qualifying termination that occurs within 12 months following Yodlee's change of control, assuming that the merger is completed on December 31, 2015, and the qualifying employment termination occurs on December 31, 2015.

Mr. Connors' employment with Yodlee terminated effective September 15, 2015. In connection with the termination, Mr. Connors and Yodlee entered into a separation and release of claims agreement (the "separation agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Connors received certain severance benefits. The severance benefits included continued payment of base salary through September 30, 2015, one month of reimbursement for continued coverage under Yodlee's group health plans, and vesting acceleration of 25% of the unvested portion of Mr. Connors' equity awards that were outstanding as of his employment termination date. The separation agreement also provided for transition services by Mr. Connors, a release of claims by each party against the other party, and a
129
nondisparagement obligation on the part of Mr. Connors. The following table sets forth the severance benefits that Mr. Connors received under his separation agreement.

Yodlee maintains the 2014 Plan, pursuant to which Yodlee has granted equity awards to each of its non-employee members of the Yodlee Board (the "non-employee directors") subject to award agreements entered into between Yodlee and the non-employee director. The 2014 Plan provides that in the event of a "change in control" as defined in the 2014 Plan, any outstanding awards granted to Yodlee's non-employee directors will accelerate vesting in full. Please also see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled "Equity Interests of Yodlee's Executive Officers and Non-employee Directors" below for further information regarding these equity awards. Mr. Colligan, Ms. Nelson, and Mr. Phelps do not hold any unvested Yodlee equity awards.
Yodlee maintains the 2014 Plan, pursuant to which Yodlee has granted equity awards to each of its executive officers subject to award agreements (and any amendments thereto) entered into between Yodlee and the executive officer. Upon a change of control of Yodlee, each of Yodlee's current executive officer's outstanding equity awards will accelerate vesting with respect to 25% of the then-unvested shares underlying the award. In addition, in the event that, within 12 months following Yodlee's change of control, such executive officer's employment with Yodlee is terminated by Yodlee without cause or by the executive officer for good reason, then 100% of then-unvested shares underlying the executive officer's then-outstanding equity awards will accelerate vesting in full.
The following table sets forth the estimated number of shares of Yodlee common stock subject to equity awards held by Yodlee's current executive officers that would accelerate vesting upon the merger and the estimated value thereof for each executive officer, as well as the equity awards held by such individuals that would accelerate upon a qualifying termination that occurs within 12 months following Yodlee's change of control as described in the preceding paragraph above. The amounts in the table assume that the merger is completed on December 31, 2015, and the price per share of Yodlee
130
common stock is $16.708 (the reference per-share value of a share of Yodlee common stock as determined in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K) as of the same date.

As defined in these award agreements, "cause" generally means the executive officer's (i) act of personal dishonesty in connection with the executive officer's responsibilities as a service provider to Yodlee intended to result in executive officer's substantial personal enrichment, (ii) conviction of a felony which the Yodlee Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on Yodlee's reputation or business, (iii) willful act which constitutes misconduct and is injurious to Yodlee, or (iv) continued willful violation by the executive officer of his or her obligations to Yodlee after Yodlee has issued a written demand regarding performance.
As defined in these award agreements, "good reason" generally means the executive officer's voluntary termination as a service provider of Yodlee after the expiration of a specified cure period after one or more of the following occurring without the executive officer's consent: (i) a material reduction in the executive officer's gross base salary; (ii) a material reduction in the executive officer's position, duties, or responsibilities; or (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the individual performs services.
In accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, the following table sets forth the compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger that will or may become payable to each of Yodlee's named executive officers in connection with the merger. Please also see the other descriptions in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading "Interests of Yodlee's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" for further information regarding this compensation. The amounts indicated below are estimates of the amounts that would be payable assuming, solely for purposes of this table, that the merger is completed on December 31, 2015, that the price per share of Yodlee common stock is $16.708, and that the named executive officer's employment is terminated other than
131
for cause or the named executive officer resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable Yodlee severance agreement), in each case on December 31, 2015, except that with respect to Mr. Connors, this table assumes that his employment with Yodlee terminated on September 15, 2015, which is the effective date of termination of his employment with Yodlee. The estimates set forth in the table below also are based on certain other assumptions that are described in the footnotes accompanying the table below. Accordingly, the ultimate values to be received by a named executive officer in connection with the merger may differ from the amounts set forth below. Yodlee's named executive officers will not receive pension, non-qualified deferred compensation, tax reimbursement or other benefits in connection with the merger.

Envestnet's Reasons for the Merger
At a meeting held on August 10, 2015, after due consideration and consultation with Envestnet's management and its legal and financial advisors, the Envestnet Board of Directors unanimously resolved to approve entry into the merger agreement. In doing so, the Envestnet Board of Directors considered a number of substantive factors, both positive and negative, and potential benefits and detriments of the merger to Envestnet and its stockholders. In making its determination, the Envestnet Board of Directors focused on the following material factors:
Strategic Rationale. The Envestnet Board of Directors considered that the strategic combination of Envestnet and Yodlee creates the world's only financial technology network delivering better relationships and greater lifetime value for financial advisors, investors and financial services providers. In particular, the Envestnet Board of Directors expected the combined company to benefit from:
135
Additional Considerations. In the course of reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, the Envestnet Board of Directors considered the following additional factors as generally supporting its decision:
The Envestnet Board of Directors also considered the following potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the merger agreement:
136
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Envestnet Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather is meant to include the material factors that the Envestnet Board of Directors considered. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the Envestnet Board of Directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative or specific weight or values to any of these factors. Rather, the Envestnet Board of Directors based its approval on an overall analysis and on the totality of the information presented to and factors considered by it. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.
This explanation of Envestnet's reasons for the merger and other information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors described under "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 3 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Regulatory Clearances Required for the Merger
The merger is subject to the requirements of the HSR Act. Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated under the HSR Act, acquisitions of a sufficient size may not be completed unless information has been furnished to the Department of Justice and to the Federal Trade Commission, and applicable waiting period requirements have been satisfied or early termination of the waiting period has been granted. Both Envestnet and Yodlee filed the required notification and report forms on September 1, 2015, and early termination of the waiting period was granted on September 14, 2015.
Under the merger agreement, Envestnet and Yodlee have agreed to cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to complete the
137
merger; however, neither Envestnet nor Yodlee is required to take, or commit to take, any action or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with such regulatory clearances that would reasonably be likely to result in a "Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition," which includes, among other things, the transfer or disposition of assets or a limitation on the ability of Envestnet or Yodlee to conduct their respective businesses.
Envestnet and Merger Sub
Envestnet and Merger Sub have not historically paid any dividends on common stock and do not presently anticipate paying any dividends on their common stock in the foreseeable future.
Yodlee
Yodlee has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Yodlee is permitted to pay holders of its common stock dividends consistent with the merger agreement. Otherwise, Yodlee is generally prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock during the pendency of the merger.
The shares of Envestnet common stock to be issued in the merger will be listed for trading on the NYSE.
Delisting and Deregistration of Yodlee Common Stock
Upon completion of the merger, shares of Yodlee common stock currently listed on NASDAQ will cease to be listed on NASDAQ and will subsequently be deregistered under the Exchange Act.
GAAP requires the merger to be accounted for using acquisition accounting pursuant to which Envestnet has been determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The combined company will allocate the total purchase consideration to Yodlee's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of the completion of the merger. Any excess purchase price after this allocation will be assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. Upon consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of the combined company will reflect only the operations and financial condition of Envestnet. The operating results of Yodlee will be reported as part of the combined company beginning on the date of the merger.
Final valuations of Yodlee's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been completed. The completion of the valuation upon consummation of the merger could result in significantly different amortization expenses and balance sheet classifications than those presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Envestnet anticipates that the funds needed to complete the merger will be derived from a combination of (i) available cash on hand of Envestnet and (ii) the financing as described below.
In connection with the financing of the merger, Envestnet has received a commitment letter (the "debt commitment letter") from BMO, pursuant to which BMO commits to provide senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million (the "facilities") on a fully
138
underwritten basis, in the form of (i) $100.0 million revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and (ii) $100.0 million term loans to be fully funded on the closing date of the merger. BMO will act as the administrative agent for the financial institutions and other investors who commit to lend under the facilities. The facilities will mature on the earlier of January 15, 2019 or three years from the date of the closing of the merger. Envestnet has agreed to pay BMO certain fees as consideration for the commitment and the services to be performed by BMO under the debt commitment letter.
BMO's commitment with respect to the facilities expires on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) February 28, 2016.
Yodlee will, and will cause its subsidiaries and its and their respective representatives to, provide to Envestnet, at Envestnet's sole expense, all reasonable cooperation on a timely basis as may be reasonably requested by Envestnet to assist Envestnet with the arrangement of the financing, including (i) furnishing such financial statements and other financial data and other information relating to Yodlee and its subsidiaries requested by Envestnet as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the financing, (ii) authorizing the reasonable use by Envestnet and its subsidiaries of Yodlee's and its subsidiaries' logos for syndication and underwriting, as applicable, of the financing, (iii) participating in a reasonable and limited number of meetings, presentations and road shows with prospective lenders and investors and in drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, as applicable, (iv) providing customary information regarding Yodlee and its subsidiaries required by governmental entities under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and (v) providing information reasonably necessary to assist Envestnet with the preparation of pro forma financial information and financial statements to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, subject to the terms and conditions of the debt commitment letter.
General
If you hold one or more shares of Yodlee common stock, you are entitled to appraisal rights under Delaware law and have the right to dissent from the merger, have your shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and receive the "fair value" of such shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger) as of completion of the merger in place of the merger consideration, as determined by the court, if you strictly comply with the procedures specified in Section 262 of the DGCL. Any such Yodlee stockholder awarded "fair value" for their shares by the court would receive payment of that fair value in cash, together with interest, if any, in lieu of the right to receive the merger consideration.
The following discussion is not a full summary of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the DGCL and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL that is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix D. All references in Section 262 of the DGCL and in this summary to a "stockholder" are to the record holder of the shares of Yodlee common stock. The following discussion does not constitute any legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that you exercise any rights to seek appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL.
Under Section 262 of the DGCL, when a merger is submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders as in the case of the adoption of the merger agreement, Yodlee, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, must notify each stockholder who was a Yodlee stockholder on the record date for notice of such meeting and who is entitled to exercise appraisal rights, that appraisal rights are available and include in the notice a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes the required notice, and the copy of applicable statutory provisions is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix D. A holder of Yodlee common stock who wishes to
139
exercise appraisal rights or who wishes to preserve the right to do so should review the following discussion and Appendix D carefully. Failure to strictly comply with the procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL in a timely and proper manner will result in the loss of appraisal rights. A stockholder who loses his, her or its appraisal rights will be entitled to receive the merger consideration.
How to Exercise and Perfect Your Appraisal Rights
Yodlee stockholders wishing to exercise the rights to seek an appraisal of their shares must do ALL of the following:
Voting, in person or by proxy, against, abstaining from voting on or failing to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement will not constitute a written demand for appraisal as required by Section 262 of the DGCL. The written demand for appraisal is in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote.
Only a holder of record of shares of Yodlee common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time may assert appraisal rights for the shares of stock registered in that holder's name. A demand for appraisal must be executed by or on behalf of the stockholder of record and must reasonably inform Yodlee of the identity of the stockholder (including, as requested herein, the stockholder's name, fully and correctly, as such name appears, with respect to shares evidenced by certificates, on such stock certificate, or, with respect to shares held in "street name" through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, on the stock ledger) and that the stockholder intends to demand appraisal of his, her or its common stock. Beneficial owners who do not also hold their shares of common stock of record may not directly make appraisal demands to Yodlee. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the owner of record, such as a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, submit the required demand in respect of those shares of common stock of record. A record owner, such as a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, who holds shares of Yodlee common stock as a nominee for others, may exercise his, her or its right of appraisal with respect to the shares of Yodlee common stock held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In
140
that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Yodlee common stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares of Yodlee common stock is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Yodlee common stock held in the name of the record owner.
IF YOU HOLD YOUR SHARES IN BANK OR BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS OR OTHER NOMINEE FORMS, AND YOU WISH TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR BANK, BROKERAGE FIRM OR OTHER NOMINEE, AS APPLICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES FOR THE BANK, BROKERAGE FIRM OR OTHER NOMINEE TO MAKE A DEMAND FOR APPRAISAL OF THOSE SHARES. IF YOU HAVE A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHARES HELD OF RECORD IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON, SUCH AS A BANK, BROKERAGE FIRM OR OTHER NOMINEE, YOU MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO CAUSE THE RECORD HOLDER TO FOLLOW PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PERFECT YOUR APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
If you own shares of Yodlee common stock jointly with one or more other persons, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, demand for appraisal must be executed by or for you and all other joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, such person is acting as agent for the record owner. If you hold shares of Yodlee common stock through a broker who in turn holds the shares through a central securities depository nominee such as Cede & Co., a demand for appraisal of such shares must be made by or on behalf of the depository nominee and must identify the depository nominee as record holder.
If you elect to exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, you should mail or deliver a written demand to:
Yodlee, Inc.
3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200
Redwood, CA 94065
Attention: Corporate Secretary
Surviving Corporation's Actions After Completion of the Merger
If the merger is completed, the surviving corporation will give written notice of the effective time within 10 days after the effective time to Yodlee stockholders who did not vote in favor of the merger agreement and who made a written demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. At any time within 60 days after the effective time, if a dissenting stockholder has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party, such dissenting stockholder shall have the right to withdraw the demand and to accept the merger consideration in accordance with the merger agreement for shares of Yodlee common stock. Within 120 days after the effective time, but not later, either the Yodlee stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL, or the surviving corporation may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the surviving corporation in the case of a petition filed by the dissenting stockholder, demanding a determination of the value of the shares of Yodlee common stock held by all dissenting stockholders. The surviving corporation is under no obligation to file an appraisal petition and has no intention of doing so. If you desire to have your shares appraised, you should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL.
Within 120 days after the effective time, provided you have complied with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, you will be entitled to receive from the surviving corporation, upon written request, a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the adoption of
141
the merger agreement and with respect to which Yodlee has received demands for appraisal, and the aggregate number of holders of those shares. The surviving corporation must mail this statement to you within the later of 10 days of receipt of the request or 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal. If you are the beneficial owner of shares of stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on your behalf you may, in your own name, file an appraisal petition or request from the surviving corporation the statement described in this paragraph.
If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a record holder of Yodlee common stock who has properly exercised his, her or its appraisal rights in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all holders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares. The Delaware Court of Chancery will then determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and may require the stockholders demanding appraisal who hold certificated shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings, and the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss any stockholder who fails to comply with this direction from the proceedings. Where proceedings are not dismissed or the demand for appraisal is not successfully withdrawn, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted as to the shares of Yodlee common stock owned by such stockholders in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. The Delaware Court of Chancery will thereafter determine the fair value of the shares of Yodlee common stock at the effective time held by dissenting stockholders, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective time through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective time and the date of payment of the judgment. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon, if any, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by such stockholders of their stock certificates and book-entry shares.
In determining the fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered and that "[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that, in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other factors which could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a "narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value," but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered." An opinion of an investment banking firm as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration payable in a merger is not an opinion as to, and may not in any manner address, fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL. The fair value of their shares as determined under Section 262 of the DGCL could be greater than, the same as, or less than the value of the merger consideration. We do not anticipate offering more than the merger
142
consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262, the "fair value" of a share of Yodlee common stock is less than the merger consideration.
If no party files a petition for appraisal within 120 days after the effective time, then all Yodlee stockholders will lose the right to an appraisal, and will instead receive the merger consideration described in the merger agreement, without interest thereon, less any withholding taxes.
The Delaware Court of Chancery may determine the costs of the appraisal proceeding and may allocate those costs to the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery determines to be equitable under the circumstances. However, costs do not include attorneys and expert witness fees. Each dissenting stockholder is responsible for its own attorneys and expert witnesses expenses, although, upon application of a stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal.
If you have duly demanded an appraisal in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL you may not, after the effective time, vote the Yodlee shares subject to the demand for any purpose or receive any dividends or other distributions on those shares, except dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record of Yodlee shares as of a record date prior to the effective time.
If you have not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined such a proceeding as a named party you may withdraw a demand for appraisal and accept the merger consideration by delivering a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal to the surviving corporation, except that any attempt to withdraw made more than 60 days after the effective time will require written approval of the surviving corporation, and no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery. Such approval may be conditioned on the terms the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just, provided, however, that this provision will not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined such proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered in the merger within 60 days. If you fail to perfect, successfully withdraw or lose the appraisal right, your shares will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, without interest thereon, less any withholding taxes.
Failure to follow the steps required by Section 262 of the DGCL for perfecting appraisal rights may result in the loss of appraisal rights. In that event, you will be entitled to receive the merger consideration for your shares in accordance with the merger agreement. In view of the complexity of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, if you are a Yodlee stockholder and are considering exercising your appraisal rights under the DGCL, you should consult your own legal advisor.
THE PROCESS OF DEMANDING AND EXERCISING APPRAISAL RIGHTS REQUIRES STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH TECHNICAL PREREQUISITES. IF YOU WISH TO EXERCISE YOUR APPRAISAL RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLIANCE UNDER SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE ANY INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE FOREGOING SUMMARY AND SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL, THE DGCL WILL GOVERN.
Litigation Related to the Merger
Yodlee, each of the members of the Yodlee Board, Envestnet and Merger Sub have been named as defendants in a putative class action challenging the merger in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Suman Inala v. Yodlee, Inc., et al. (Case No. 11461) (filed September 2, 2015). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Yodlee Board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to ensure that Yodlee stockholders received adequate and fair value for their shares. The complaint also
143
alleges that Envestnet and Merger Sub have aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiff seeks as relief, among other things, an injunction against the merger, rescission of the merger agreement to the extent it is already implemented, an award of damages and attorneys' fees. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit.
Restrictions on the Shares of Envestnet Common Stock Received in the Merger
The shares of Envestnet common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be freely transferable under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, except for shares issued to any stockholder who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of Envestnet for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or under the common control with Envestnet and may include the executive officers, directors and significant stockholders of Envestnet.
144
The following section summarizes material provisions of the merger agreement, which is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A and is incorporated herein by reference. The rights and obligations of Yodlee and Envestnet are governed by the express terms and conditions of the merger agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. Yodlee stockholders are urged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety, as well as this proxy statement/prospectus, before making any decisions regarding the merger.
The merger agreement is included in this proxy statement/prospectus only to provide public disclosure regarding its terms and conditions as required by U.S. federal securities laws, and is not intended to provide any factual information about Yodlee or Envestnet. The merger agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the merger agreement. These representations and warranties:
Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the merger agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement.
The merger agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the effective time of the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Yodlee, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yodlee will continue as the surviving corporation and become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. Each share of Yodlee common stock issued and outstanding prior to the effective time will be converted into a right to receive the consideration as described below. See the section entitled "Consideration to be Received in the Merger" of this proxy statement/prospectus.
The rights of Yodlee stockholders who receive Envestnet common stock as merger consideration will be governed by Envestnet's charter and bylaws after the completion of the merger.
Effective Time and Completion of the Merger
The closing of the merger will occur no later than three business days after all of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement and described in the section entitled "Conditions to Completion of the Merger" beginning on page 161 of this proxy statement/prospectus are satisfied or waived, or at such other date as agreed to by Yodlee and Envestnet. The merger will become effective at the effective time when the applicable certificate of merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at a later time as agreed to by Yodlee and Envestnet and specified in the certificate of merger.
145
At the effective time, Envestnet will become the sole owner of Yodlee and its business. Therefore, current stockholders of Yodlee will cease to have direct ownership interests in Yodlee or rights as stockholders of Yodlee, will not participate directly in any future earnings or growth of Yodlee, will not benefit directly from any appreciation in value of Yodlee and will not bear directly the future risks of Yodlee's operations.
Following the completion of the merger, Yodlee common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Exchange Act. As a result, Yodlee will be a privately held corporation, and there will be no public market for Yodlee common stock. This will make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the requirement of furnishing a proxy or information statement in connection with special meetings, no longer applicable to Yodlee. After the effective time, Yodlee will also no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC.
The Board of Directors of Merger Sub at the effective time will be the directors of the surviving corporation from and after the effective time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the charter and bylaws of the surviving corporation.
Envestnet and Yodlee currently expect the closing of the merger to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015. However, as the merger is subject to various regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions described in the merger agreement, it is possible that factors outside the control of Envestnet and Yodlee could result in the merger being completed at an earlier time, a later time or not at all.
Consideration to be Received in the Merger
At the effective time, by virtue of the merger, each share of Yodlee common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, except for (i) shares of Yodlee common stock as to which the holders thereof have not voted in favor of the merger or consented thereto in writing and have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal and (ii) shares of Yodlee common stock owned by Yodlee as treasury stock or owned by Envestnet or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, (A) $10.78 in cash (the "per share cash consideration") and (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Envestnet common stock, determined by dividing $8.10 by the volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten full trading days ending on and including the second full trading day prior to the closing of the merger, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement (such volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Envestnet common stock, the "Envestnet stock value" and such number of shares of Envestnet common stock, the "per share stock consideration," together with the per share cash consideration, the "merger consideration"). However, if the Envestnet stock value is less than $39.006, then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $39.006 and if the Envestnet stock value is greater than $47.674, then the Envestnet stock value will be equal to $47.674.
To the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable pursuant to the foregoing paragraph plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Envestnet common stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Envestnet common stock subject to restricted stock awards of Envestnet issuable pursuant to the merger agreement (the sum of the amounts in clauses (A) and (B), the "total stock amount"), would be equal to or greater than 19.9% of the shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time (such amount, the "stock threshold"), the per share stock consideration will be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the total stock amount will not exceed the stock threshold. In such event, the per share cash consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the per share stock consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Envestnet stock value; provided that (i) the aggregate per share cash consideration will in no event be increased by greater than $32,000,000 and (ii) the total stock amount will in no event exceed the stock threshold.
146
As a result of the various limitations described above, the per share stock consideration will never be less than 0.1699 shares of Envestnet common stock. Furthermore, if the Envestnet stock value is at or below $43.52, the per share cash consideration will begin to increase until the Envestnet stock value is at $39.01 at which time the per share cash consideration would be fixed at $11.7579. The table below sets forth the per share cash consideration, per share stock consideration for various Envestnet stock values and aggregate value of the merger consideration (assuming the trading price of the Envestnet common stock is equal to the Envestnet stock value) at various Envestnet stock values.

Adjustment to Merger Consideration
If, during the period between the date of the merger agreement and the effective time, the issued and outstanding Yodlee common stock or Envestnet common stock will have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction, then the per share cash consideration and the per share stock consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, will be equitably adjusted to provide to the holders of Yodlee common stock the same economic effect as contemplated by the merger agreement prior to such action, subject to further adjustment in accordance with the merger agreement.
Envestnet will not issue fractional shares of Envestnet common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Envestnet will pay to each former stockholder of Yodlee who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Envestnet stock value by (ii) the
147
fraction of a share of Envestnet common stock (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Yodlee common stock owned by such holder as of immediately prior to the effective time).
Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Certificates
The conversion of Yodlee common stock into the right to receive the merger consideration will occur automatically at the effective time. As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time, the exchange agent will exchange old certificates representing shares of Yodlee common stock for merger consideration to be received in the merger pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC will be the exchange agent in the merger (the "exchange agent") and will receive your old certificates for the merger consideration and perform other duties as explained in the merger agreement.
As promptly as practicable after the effective time, but in no event later than ten days thereafter, Envestnet will cause the exchange agent to mail to each person who was, immediately prior to the effective time, a holder of record of one or more old certificates representing shares of Yodlee common stock that have been converted at the effective time into the right to receive the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the old certificates in exchange for the consideration for certificates representing the number of whole Envestnet common stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and the cash portion of the merger consideration, as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement. From and after the effective time, upon proper surrender of an old certificate or old certificates for exchange and cancellation to the exchange agent, together with properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such old certificate or old certificates will be entitled to receive the merger consideration as contemplated in the merger agreement.
If any new certificate representing shares of Envestnet common stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the old certificate or certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, such old certificate or certificates so surrendered must be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such exchange will be responsible for any required transfer or other similar taxes, or alternatively, establish to the satisfaction of the exchange agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. After the effective time, there will be no transfers of Yodlee common stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time.
If any old certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the consideration properly payable under the merger agreement upon receipt of an affidavit to that fact and, if required by Envestnet, the posting of a bond in such amount as Envestnet may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such old certificate.
From and after the effective time, all holders of certificates representing shares of Yodlee common stock or book-entry shares will cease to have any rights as stockholders of Yodlee other than the right to receive the merger consideration and the stock transfer books of Yodlee will be closed.
Envestnet will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash portion of the merger consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares or cash dividends or distributions payable to any Yodlee stockholder the amounts it is required to deduct and withhold under the Internal Revenue Code (the
148
"Code"), or any state, local or foreign tax law. These withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of the merger as having been paid to the stockholders from whom they were withheld.
Treatment of Yodlee Equity Awards
At the effective time, Yodlee equity awards will be treated as follows:
Vested Options
Each vested and exercisable stock option granted pursuant to the equity plans of Yodlee that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger, including vested stock options, will be exercised immediately prior to the closing of the merger in a cashless net exercise. In a cashless net exercise, Yodlee will retain the number of shares of Yodlee common stock that would otherwise be received on the exercise of such vested stock option to cover the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding obligations and to issue the net number of shares of Yodlee common stock to the holder of the vested stock option. At the effective time, each such share of Yodlee common stock will be converted into the right to receive the sum of the per share cash consideration and per share stock consideration pursuant to the same terms and conditions of the merger agreement as described under the section entitled "Consideration to be Received in the Merger" in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Unvested Options
All outstanding Yodlee unvested stock options will be assumed by Envestnet and converted into awards of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. The number of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock that will be granted in exchange for each unvested Yodlee stock option will be equal to:
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested stock option will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested stock option.
Restricted Stock Units
All outstanding Yodlee restricted stock units granted pursuant to the equity plans of Yodlee that remain outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger (the "unvested RSUs") will be assumed by Envestnet and converted into awards of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. The number of shares of restricted shares of Envestnet common stock that will be issued in exchange for each unvested RSU will be equal to:
149
The restricted shares of Envestnet common stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such unvested RSUs will vest proportionally on the same dates and be subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable unvested RSU.
To the extent that the treatment of the Yodlee equity awards in the merger that are subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in adverse tax consequences to the award holder, Yodlee, the surviving corporation, and/or Envestnet, Yodlee and Envestnet may adjust the treatment of such affected equity awards to so comply or avoid adverse tax consequences in a manner that yields the award holder the intended economic benefit as described above.
Yodlee has agreed that it will take, in accordance with applicable law and its charter and bylaws, all action necessary to convene the Yodlee special meeting to be held as promptly as practicable after this proxy statement/prospectus is declared effective for the purpose of obtaining the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock required in connection with the merger agreement and the merger (the "requisite company vote"), and, if reasonably agreed by Envestnet and Yodlee, upon other matters of the type customarily brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders to adopt a merger agreement. The Yodlee Board has agreed that it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the stockholders of Yodlee the requisite company vote, including by communicating to its stockholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus) that they adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger.
Representations and Warranties
In the merger agreement, Yodlee has made customary representations and warranties to Envestnet and Merger Sub with respect to, among other things:
150
In the merger agreement, Envestnet and Merger Sub have made customary representations and warranties to Yodlee with respect to, among other things:
151
Many of the representations and warranties in the merger agreement are qualified by a "materiality" or "material adverse effect" standard (that is, they will not be deemed to be untrue or incorrect unless their failure to be true or correct, individually or in the aggregate, would, as the case may be, be material or have a material adverse effect, taken as a whole).
Under the merger agreement, a "material adverse effect" with respect to Envestnet and its subsidiaries or Yodlee and its subsidiaries is generally defined as any change, effect, development, circumstance, condition, state of facts, event or occurrence, individually or in the aggregate, that has a material adverse effect on, with respect to Envestnet or Yodlee, as the case may be, the business, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that "material adverse effect" will not be deemed to include the impact of:
152
operations for any period, in and of itself, or any failure by such party to meet its internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations, in and of itself (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a "material adverse effect" may be taken into account);
except, with respect to (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such effect will be taken into account in the determination of whether a material adverse effect has occurred solely to the extent such effect materially and disproportionately affected Yodlee or Envestnet relative to other participants in the industry in which such party and its subsidiaries operate).
The representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement will not survive the effective time.
Covenants of Yodlee Relating to Conduct of Its Business
During the period from the date of the merger agreement to the effective time, except as expressly contemplated or permitted by the merger agreement (including as set forth in Yodlee's confidential disclosure schedule to the merger agreement), required by law, regulation or mandatory policies imposed by any governmental entity or as consented to in writing by Envestnet (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Yodlee has agreed to, and will cause its subsidiaries to, (i) conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve intact its business organization, employees and advantageous business relationships.
In addition, during the period from the date of the merger agreement to the effective time, except as set forth in the relevant sections of Yodlee's confidential disclosure schedule to the merger agreement, as expressly contemplated or permitted by the merger agreement or as required by law, regulation or mandatory policies imposed by any governmental entity, Yodlee has agreed not to, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of Envestnet (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), with certain exceptions:
(a) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or assume, guarantee, endorse or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible for the obligations of any other person (other than any subsidiary of Yodlee listed on Yodlee's confidential disclosure schedule to the merger agreement);
(b) (i) adjust, split, combine or reclassify any capital stock;
(ii) make, declare or pay any dividend, or make any other distribution on, or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of its capital stock or any securities or obligations convertible (whether currently convertible or convertible only after the passage of time or the occurrence of certain events) into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock (except (A) dividends paid by any Yodlee subsidiary to Yodlee or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (B) the acceptance of shares of Yodlee common stock as payment
153
for the exercise price of Yodlee stock options or for withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of Yodlee stock options or the vesting or settlement of Yodlee equity awards or (C) acquisition of shares of Yodlee common stock pursuant to Yodlee rights that arise upon the termination of service of any employee, director or consultant of Yodlee of any of its subsidiaries, in each case in accordance with past practice and, if applicable, the terms of the applicable award agreements, equity plan or non-qualified plan);
(iii) grant any stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock units, restricted shares or other equity-based awards or interests, or grant any person any right to acquire any shares of Yodlee capital stock, other than to new hires in amounts or values consistent with past practice and Yodlee's grant policies relating thereto up to a maximum of 75,000 shares of Yodlee common stock subject to options and 350,000 shares of Yodlee common stock in the form of restricted stock units; or
(iv) issue, sell or otherwise permit to become outstanding any additional shares of capital stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, any shares of its capital stock or any options, warrants or other rights of any kind to acquire any shares of capital stock, except for the issuance of shares upon the exercise of Yodlee stock options or the vesting or settlement of Yodlee equity awards or as permitted by the merger agreement;
(c) sell, transfer, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of its material properties or assets to any individual, corporation or other entity other than a wholly owned subsidiary of Yodlee, or cancel, release or assign any indebtedness to any such person, in each case, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;
(d) make any loans, advances, guarantees or capital contributions to or investments in any person (subject to certain exceptions; provided that Yodlee will consult with Envestnet prior to making any loan, advance or capital contribution to or investment in any subsidiary that would decrease the cash and liquid assets owned and held by Yodlee and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole);

(f) (i) amend, modify, terminate or otherwise waive, release or assign any rights, claims or benefits of Yodlee or any of its subsidiaries under any material contract if such amendment, modification, termination, waiver, release or assignment would be reasonably expected to be adverse to Yodlee and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in any material respect, or (ii) enter into or renew or extend any material contract, other than in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

(n) agree to take, make any commitment to take, or adopt any resolutions of its Board of Directors body in support of, any of the foregoing.
Covenants of Envestnet Relating to Conduct of Its Business
During the period from the date of the merger agreement to the effective time, except as set forth in Envestnet's confidential disclosure schedule to the merger agreement, as expressly contemplated or permitted by the merger agreement, or as required by law, regulation or mandatory policies imposed by any governmental entity, each of Envestnet and Merger Sub has agreed not to, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of Yodlee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld):
(a) adjust, split, combine or reclassify any capital stock;
(b) amend Envestnet's certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that would adversely affect the economic benefits of the merger to the holders of Yodlee common stock or adversely affect the holders of Yodlee common stock relative to holders of Envestnet common stock or that would materially impede Envestnet's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement on a timely basis;
(c) make, declare or pay any dividend, or make any other distribution on, or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of its capital stock or any securities or obligations convertible (whether currently convertible or convertible only after the passage of time or the occurrence of certain events) into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock (except
155
(A) dividends paid by any Envestnet's subsidiary to Envestnet or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries or (B) the acceptance of Envestnet common stock as payment for the exercise price of, for withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of or the vesting or settlement of, as applicable, Envestnet's equity-based awards, in each case in accordance with past practice and the terms of the applicable award agreements and plan documents);
(d) issue or sell any additional shares of Envestnet common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, any shares of Envestnet common stock or any options, warrants or other rights of any kind to acquire any shares of Envestnet common stock, except for (i) issuances of shares of Envestnet common stock in respect of any exercise of Envestnet's stock options or the vesting or settlement of Envestnet's equity-based awards, (ii) transactions between Envestnet and any of its wholly owned subsidiaries or between any of its wholly owned subsidiaries and (iii) issuances of Envestnet's equity-based awards;
(e) authorize or announce an intention to authorize, or enter into agreements providing for, any acquisitions of an equity interest in or a substantial portion of the assets of any person or any business or division thereof, or any mergers, consolidations or business combinations in excess of $40,000,000 in the aggregate or that would be reasonably expected to affect the ability of Envestnet to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; or
(f) agree to take, make any commitment to take, or adopt any resolutions of its Board of Directors in support of, any of the foregoing.
Yodlee has agreed that it will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, the "representatives") not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning or (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person relating to, any acquisition proposal; provided, that, prior to receipt of the requisite company vote, in the event Yodlee receives an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal and the Yodlee Board concludes in good faith that such acquisition proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal, it may, and may permit its subsidiaries and its and its subsidiaries' representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that its Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, further, that, prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing, Yodlee must provide notice to Envestnet of its intention to provide such information, and contemporaneously provide or make available such information to Envestnet if not previously provided to Envestnet, and must enter into a non-disclosure agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the non-disclosure agreement entered into between Envestnet and Yodlee, which non-disclosure agreement will not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with Yodlee, but which non-disclosure agreement need not include any "standstill" or similar provision.
Yodlee has agreed that it will, and will cause its representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of the merger agreement with any person other than Envestnet with respect to any acquisition proposal. Envestnet will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) advise Envestnet following receipt of any acquisition proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal, and the terms thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry
156
or acquisition proposal), and will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) advise Envestnet of any material related developments, discussions and negotiations on a prompt basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the material terms of such inquiry or acquisition proposal.
Yodlee has agreed to, within ten business days after the date of the merger agreement, request and confirm the return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any person (other than Envestnet and its affiliates) pursuant to any non-disclosure agreement. Yodlee has agreed not to, and will cause its subsidiaries not to, and will cause its representatives not to on its or its subsidiaries' behalf, enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, or other agreement (other than a non-disclosure agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with the foregoing) relating to any acquisition proposal.
An "acquisition proposal" means, other than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Yodlee and its subsidiaries or 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Yodlee or its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Yodlee and its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Yodlee or its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Yodlee and its subsidiaries, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, reorganization, joint venture, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving Yodlee or its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Yodlee and its subsidiaries.
A "superior proposal" means a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach of the foregoing that the Yodlee Board concludes in good faith to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its stockholders than the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (i) after consultation with its financial advisors, (ii) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and (iii) after taking into account all legal (after consultation with outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including any expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to closing) and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law; provided that for purposes of the definition of "superior proposal," the references to "20% or more" in the definition of acquisition proposal will be deemed to be references to "a majority."
The Yodlee Board's Recommendation
The Yodlee Board unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Yodlee and its stockholders, (ii) declared the advisability of the merger agreement, (iii) approved the merger agreement and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, (iv) recommended that Yodlee's stockholders adopt the merger agreement in accordance with the DGCL and (v) directed that the adoption of the merger agreement be submitted for consideration of Yodlee's stockholders at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. In addition, the Yodlee Board agreed to include its recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Yodlee Board also agreed that, from the date of the merger agreement until the date the requisite company vote is obtained, neither the Yodlee Board nor any committee thereof will: (1) withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to Envestnet or Merger Sub, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to Envestnet or Merger Sub, the recommendation or (2) recommend, declare advisable or propose publicly to recommend or declare advisable, the approval,
157
acceptance or adoption of any acquisition proposal or any acquisition agreement or resolve or agree to take any such action (any such action, resolution or agreement to take such action being referred to herein as an "adverse recommendation change").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to obtaining the requisite company vote, the Yodlee Board, after consultation with its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that, because of the receipt by Yodlee of an acquisition proposal (that did not result from a breach of the merger agreement) that the Yodlee Board concludes in good faith constitutes a superior proposal, the Yodlee Board may (x) in connection with such superior proposal, make an adverse recommendation change or (y) terminate the merger agreement for the purpose of causing Yodlee to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to such superior proposal (provided that Yodlee must pay Envestnet the termination fee in connection with such termination). Prior to taking any actions under clause (x) or (y), the Yodlee Board must have done the following: (i) give Envestnet at least three business days' prior written notice of its intention to take such action, (ii) during the three business days following such written notice, the Yodlee Board and its representatives must negotiate in good faith with Envestnet (to the extent Envestnet desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement proposed by Envestnet and (iii) at the end of such three business day period, the Yodlee Board, taking into account any amendment or modification to the merger agreement proposed by Envestnet and after consultation with its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to make an adverse recommendation change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
In addition, if prior to obtaining the requisite company vote, the Yodlee Board, after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, determines in good faith that, because of the occurrence of an intervening event that the Yodlee Board concludes in good faith that the failure to make an adverse recommendation change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Yodlee Board may make an adverse recommendation change. Prior to taking such action, the Yodlee Board must have done the following: (i) give Envestnet at least three business days' prior written notice of its intention to take such action, (ii) during the three business days following such written notice, the Yodlee Board and its representatives must negotiate in good faith with Envestnet (to the extent Envestnet desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement proposed by Envestnet and (iii) at the end of such three business day period, the Yodlee Board, taking into account any amendment or modification to the merger agreement proposed by Envestnet and after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to make an adverse recommendation change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
An "intervening event" means any event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition that is material to Yodlee and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, that occurs or arises after the date of the merger agreement and prior to obtaining the requisite company vote and that was not, prior to the date of the merger agreement, known by or reasonably foreseeable to the Yodlee Board (or, if known, the consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable as of the date of the merger agreement); provided, however, that in no event will the trading price of Yodlee common stock or the receipt, existence or terms of an alternative proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof constitute an intervening event.
From and after the effective time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Envestnet will cause the surviving corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present or former director, or officer of Yodlee and its subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual
158
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, for acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time, including the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, to the same extent as such persons are indemnified pursuant to Yodlee's and its subsidiaries' respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) and any indemnification agreements for indemnification or advancement of expenses, in effect as of the date of the merger agreement between Yodlee or any of its subsidiaries and any of their respective present or former directors and officers.
For a period of six years after the effective time, the surviving corporation will maintain in effect the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Yodlee (provided, that the surviving corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of Yodlee or any of its subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the effective time (including the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement); provided, however, that the surviving corporation is not obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium paid as of the date of the merger agreement by Yodlee for such insurance (the "premium cap"), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the premium cap, then the surviving corporation must maintain policies of insurance which, in the surviving corporation's good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the premium cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Yodlee may in consultation with Envestnet (and at the request of Envestnet, Yodlee has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the effective time a six-year "tail" policy under Yodlee's existing directors and officers insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the premium cap.
The merger agreement provides that:
(a) As a result of the merger, each of the current employees of Yodlee and its subsidiaries who remain employed as of the effective time will become employees of the surviving corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Yodlee employees"). For the period beginning on the date of the closing of the merger and ending on December 31, 2016, Envestnet will or will cause the surviving corporation or any successor thereto to maintain (x) base compensation, (y) target bonus and other incentive opportunities consistent with past practice of Yodlee for each employee (subject to satisfaction of applicable performance goals, and the bonus or incentive opportunity does not in any way guarantee any bonus or grant amount and provided further that Envestnet retains the discretion to determine the mix of cash and equity of any such bonus or incentive opportunity distribution consistent with the mix of cash and equity determined for similarly situated employees of Envestnet), and (z) employee benefits that are no less favorable than the benefits provided in the aggregate to similarly situated employees of Envestnet;
(b) On or after the date of the closing of the merger upon a transition date to be selected by Envestnet in its sole discretion, Envestnet will, or will cause the surviving corporation and/or the appropriate subsidiaries of Envestnet to permit the Yodlee employees to enroll and participate the employee benefit or compensation plans, programs or arrangements adopted, maintained or contributed to by Envestnet or the surviving corporation and/or their subsidiaries in which employees of Yodlee are eligible to participate (and until such transition date is selected, Envestnet will or will cause Yodlee and/or the appropriate subsidiaries to maintain the corresponding Yodlee benefit plans in which the Yodlee employees are eligible to participate in accordance with their terms). With respect to any Envestnet benefit plans in which the Yodlee employees become eligible to participate on or after the transition date, Envestnet will, or will
159
cause the surviving corporation and/or the appropriate subsidiaries to, no later than the transition date (i) provide the Yodlee employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting, and levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan), under each applicable Envestnet benefit plan for all periods of employment with Yodlee or any predecessor and, after the effective time of the merger, Envestnet, the surviving corporation, and any subsidiary or affiliate and (ii) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any Envestnet benefit plan to be waived with respect to Yodlee employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the applicable Yodlee employee participated immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (provided that in no event will any service prior to the effective time of the merger with Yodlee or any of its affiliates or predecessors count as service with Envestnet for purposes of Envestnet's scholarship plan);
(c) In the event that any Yodlee employee is terminated without cause at any time during the 12-month period following the effective time, such employee will, subject to signing and not revoking a general release of claims against Yodlee, the surviving corporation, Envestnet and their respective affiliates that becomes effective within sixty (60) days of the date of such termination, be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for at least three months (without duplication with any payment under any severance or separation plan or program of general applicability maintained by Envestnet or its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Envestnet severance plans") or any individual agreement between such employee and Yodlee, the surviving corporation, Envestnet, or any of their respective subsidiaries) and (ii) with respect to the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, a payment equal to the bonus or variable compensation otherwise payable under any management incentive plan or other similar plan or program maintained by Envestnet or the surviving corporation in which the employee is participating at the time of termination as determined by Envestnet in good faith with such amount no greater than the amount of bonus paid with respect to such employee consistent with past practice and with such bonus amount prorated based on the number of days that the employee was employed by the surviving corporation during such fiscal year. In the event that the employment of any current employee of Yodlee or any of its subsidiaries is terminated without cause at any time after the initial 12-month period of the closing, such employees will be entitled to receive severance benefits equal to the benefits under the Envestnet severance plans, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, any Yodlee employee who is a party to an individual agreement that provides for the payment of severance in any amount or who would be entitled to statutory payments of severance pursuant to local law will not be eligible for the payments described in the foregoing;
(d) Yodlee will terminate the Yodlee, Inc. 401(k) Plan effective prior to the effective time, unless Envestnet provides written notice to Yodlee no later than fifteen days prior to the date of the closing of the merger that it should not terminate such plan; and
(e) Yodlee has agreed to, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten days after the date requested, make available to Envestnet all information reasonably requested by Envestnet in order for Envestnet to determine if any person is reasonably likely to receive payments or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, each of Envestnet and Yodlee will, and will cause their respective subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its subsidiaries with respect to the merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, to consummate the
160
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any governmental entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Yodlee or Envestnet or any of their respective subsidiaries in connection with the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Other Covenants and Agreements
Envestnet and Yodlee have made certain other covenants and agreements with each other regarding various other matters, including, but not limited to:
Conditions to Completion of the Merger
Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party
The respective obligations of Envestnet, Merger Sub and Yodlee to consummate the merger will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible under applicable law) prior to the effective time, of each of the following conditions:
161
Additional Conditions to the Obligations of Envestnet and Merger Sub
The obligations of Envestnet and Merger Sub to consummate the merger will also be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Envestnet at or prior to the effective time, of each of the following conditions:
Additional Conditions to the Obligations of Yodlee
The obligations of Yodlee to consummate the merger will also be subject to the satisfaction or waiver at or prior to the effective time, of each of the following conditions by Yodlee:
162
merger (except for those representations and warranties which address matters only as of an earlier date, the truth and correctness of which will be determined as of such earlier date), except for any failure to be so true and correct that would not increase the capitalization of Envestnet on a fully diluted basis by more than 2%;
Please refer to the section entitled "Representations and Warranties" beginning on page 150 of this proxy statement/prospectus for the definition of "material adverse effect."
Termination of the Merger Agreement
Yodlee, Envestnet and Merger Sub may terminate the merger agreement by mutual written consent at any time before the effective time. In addition, with certain exceptions, either Yodlee or Envestnet may terminate the merger agreement at any time before the consummation of the merger if:
163
Envestnet may also terminate the merger agreement if, prior to obtaining the requisite company vote:
Yodlee may also terminate the merger agreement prior to obtaining the requisite company vote to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal after an adverse recommendation change by the Yodlee Board, if (i) Yodlee has satisfied the specified requirements and conditions concerning notification of an adverse recommendation change and negotiation with Envestnet as described above in the section entitled "The Yodlee Board's Recommendation" beginning on page 157 of this proxy statement/prospectus and (ii) concurrently with the termination of the merger agreement, Yodlee pays to Envestnet the termination fee as described below in the section entitled "Expenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach" beginning on page 164 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Expenses and Termination Fees; Liability for Breach
Each party will generally pay all fees and expenses it incurs by it in connection with the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, except that Envestnet and Yodlee will share equally all fees and expenses in relation to the printing, filing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus and any filing or other fees paid to the SEC, in each case in connection with the merger.
If the merger agreement is validly terminated, the merger agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Envestnet, Yodlee, Merger Sub, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of them, except that termination will not relieve either party from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of the merger agreement. The obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses described below, to hold information in confidence pursuant to the non-disclosure agreement between Yodlee and Envestnet, and certain general provisions of the merger agreement, including, but not limited to, provisions relating to expenses, governing law, submission of jurisdiction and waiver of jury trial, will survive the termination of the merger agreement.
Yodlee has agreed to pay to Envestnet a fee of $17.8 million, if:
164
acquisition proposal (for purposes of the foregoing, all references in the definition of "acquisition proposal" to "20%" will instead refer to "50%");
Yodlee, Envestnet and Merger Sub are entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting security or a bond, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the merger agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of the merger agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity.
The summary of the material provisions of the voting agreement below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of voting agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain stockholders of Yodlee, consisting of funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus, entered into a voting agreement with Envestnet pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Yodlee common stock in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. As of the record date, the stockholders who entered into the voting agreement with Envestnet collectively beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 8,160,691 shares of Yodlee common stock, which represent approximately 26.5% of outstanding shares of Yodlee common stock entitled to vote at the Yodlee special meeting.
The stockholders who entered into a voting agreement with Envestnet agreed to vote their shares of Yodlee common stock at the Yodlee special meeting:
165
reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the merger and all other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
These stockholders also granted Envestnet a proxy to vote their shares of Yodlee common stock on any of the foregoing matters at the Yodlee special meeting. These stockholders further agreed to (i) certain restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer, tender or otherwise disposition of their shares of Yodlee common stock and (ii) waiver and non-pursuit of any appraisal rights with respect to the merger.
If the merger agreement is lawfully terminated, the voting agreement will also terminate.
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger that are relevant to holders of shares of Yodlee common stock whose shares are converted into the right to receive cash and shares of Envestnet common stock pursuant to the merger. This discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, court decisions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this proxy statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion is limited to holders who hold their shares of Yodlee common stock as "capital assets" within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes). This summary does not describe any of the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign tax jurisdiction and does not consider any aspects of U.S. federal tax law other than income taxation (e.g., estate, gift or alternative minimum tax or the Medicare net investment income surtax). In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of shares who exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law. For purposes of this discussion, a "holder" means either a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder (each as defined below) or both, as the context may require.
This discussion is for general information only and does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances, including:
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of shares of Yodlee common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding the shares of Yodlee common stock and partners therein should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of the merger.
We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary. No assurance can be given
166
that the IRS will agree with the views expressed in this summary, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation.
A HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION.
For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of shares of Yodlee common stock who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
The receipt of cash and Envestnet common stock by a U.S. Holder in exchange for shares of Yodlee common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, such U.S. Holder's gain or loss will be equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Envestnet common stock received and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares surrendered pursuant to the merger. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis generally will equal the amount that such U.S. Holder paid for the shares. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder's holding period in such shares is more than one year at the time of the completion of the merger. A reduced tax rate on capital gain generally will apply to long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder. There are limitations on the deductibility of capital losses. If a U.S. Holder acquired different blocks of shares at different times or at different prices, for purposes of determining such U.S. Holder's gain or loss, the U.S. Holder must determine its tax basis and holding period separately with respect to each block of shares.
A U.S. Holder's holding period in the shares of Envestnet common stock received begins the day after the merger is effective. The U.S. Holder's basis in the Envestnet common stock received will be equal to its fair market value at the time the merger is effective.
Payments of cash made to a U.S. Holder pursuant to the merger may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless such holder properly establishes an exemption or provides a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or a credited against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
For purposes of this discussion, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of shares of Yodlee common stock who or that is not a U.S. Holder or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Payments of cash and Envestnet common stock made to a Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the merger may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless such holder certifies that it is not a United States person or that it is eligible for another exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax.

DESCRIPTION OF ENVESTNET CAPITAL STOCK
Envestnet is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The following is a summary description of the material terms of Envestnet's capital stock. Envestnet's amended and restated bylaws and Envestnet's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which are incorporated as exhibits herein by reference, provide further information about Envestnet's capital stock.
As of October 12, 2015, there were 35,891,537 shares of Envestnet common stock outstanding.
The holders of Envestnet common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders, including elections of directors. No holder of Envestnet common stock may cumulate votes in voting for directors. Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of Envestnet common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, that the Board of Directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available. In the event of Envestnet's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Envestnet common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock then outstanding.
The Envestnet common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Envestnet common stock. All outstanding shares of Envestnet common stock are fully paid and non-assessable, and the shares of Envestnet common stock to be issued by Envestnet in connection with the merger will be fully paid and non-assessable.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Envestnet common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which Envestnet may designate and issue in the future.
Envestnet's Board of Directors has the authority, without action by Envestnet's stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and related restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of the series. The issuance of preferred stock may delay, impede or prevent the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt of Envestnet without further action of its stockholders, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of its stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders may receive a premium for their stock over its then current market price. At present, Envestnet has no plans to issue any preferred stock following the merger.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Envestnet's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
Board of Directors
Envestnet's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide:
172
These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire Envestnet or discourage a third party from acquiring Envestnet.
Stockholder Actions and Special Meetings
Envestnet's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provide that:
Envestnet's amended and restated bylaws provide that in order for any matter to be considered "properly brought" before a meeting, a stockholder must comply with requirements regarding advance notice to Envestnet. These provisions could delay stockholder actions which are favored by the holders of a majority of Envestnet's outstanding voting securities until the next stockholders meeting. These provisions may also discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer for Envestnet common stock because such person or entity, even if it acquired a majority of Envestnet's outstanding voting securities, would be able to take action as a stockholder (such as electing new directors or approving a merger) only at a duly called stockholders meeting and not by written consent.
Amendment
Delaware law provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. Envestnet's amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the shares of Envestnet's capital stock entitled to vote to amend or repeal any provision of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation relevant to the foregoing. Envestnet's amended and restated bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the Board of Directors or the holders of at least 662/3% of the shares of Envestnet's capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. The stockholder vote with respect to charter amendments would be in addition to any separate class or series vote that might in the future be required.
Preferred Stock
The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change the control of Envestnet.
These and other provisions may deter hostile takeovers or delay changes in control or management of Envestnet.
173
Delaware Business Combination Statute
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that, subject to exceptions set forth therein, an interested stockholder of a Delaware corporation shall not engage in any business combination, including mergers or consolidations or acquisitions of additional shares of the corporation, with the corporation for a three-year period following the date that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless:
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 203, an interested stockholder is defined to include:
Section 203 may make it more difficult for a person who would be an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Envestnet has not elected to be exempt from the restrictions imposed under Section 203. The provisions of Section 203 may encourage persons interested in acquiring Envestnet to negotiate in advance with its Board of Directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in any such person becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in Envestnet's management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which Envesnet's stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
The transfer agent and registrar for Envestnet common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.
Envestnet common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "ENV."

DESCRIPTION OF YODLEE'S BUSINESS
Yodlee is a leading technology and applications platform powering dynamic innovation for digital financial services in the cloud. Yodlee refers to its platform as the Yodlee Financial Cloud. Yodlee's vision is to empower lives with innovative digital financial services. Yodlee's customers include financial institutions, Internet services companies providing innovative financial solutions and third-party developers of financial applications. As of June 30, 2015, more than 900 organizations in over 15 countries use the Yodlee platform to power their consumer-facing digital offerings, and Yodlee receives subscription fees for 20.7 million of these consumers, whom Yodlee refers to as Yodlee's paid users.
Yodlee serves two main customer groups, financial institutions, or FI, customers and Internet services companies providing innovative financial solutions, which Yodlee refer to as Yodlee's Yodlee Interactive, or YI, customers. Yodlee provides FI customers with access to the Yodlee Financial Cloud (Yodlee's platform and secure, open application programming interfaces, or APIs) and FinApps (end-user facing applications powered by Yodlee's platform and APIs). Yodlee's platform and APIs enable FI customers to receive end user-permissioned transaction data elements that Yodlee aggregates and cleanses, as well as to enable Yodlee's money movement solutions. The FinApps powered by Yodlee's platform and APIs can be subscribed to individually or in combinations that include personal financial management, wealth management, card, payments and small-medium business, or SMB, solutions. Yodlee's YI customers are Internet services companies and third-party developers, who use Yodlee's platform to develop new applications and enhance existing solutions. Yodlee's YI customers operate in a number of sub-vertical markets, including wealth management, personal financial management, small business accounting, small business lending and authentication. These customers use the Yodlee platform to build solutions that leverage Yodlee's open APIs and access to a large end user base. In addition to aggregated transaction-level account data elements, Yodlee provides YI customers with secure access to account verification, money movement and risk assessment tools via Yodlee's APIs. Yodlee plays a critical role in bringing innovation from Internet services companies to financial institutions through the Yodlee Financial Cloud. For example, Yodlee's YI customers use Yodlee's solutions in diverse applications such as: providing working capital to small businesses online; personalized financial management, planning and advisory services; ecommerce payment solutions; and online accounting systems for small businesses. Yodlee provides access to its solutions across multiple channels, including web, tablet and mobile.
181
Yodlee's financial institution customers encompass many of the leading financial institutions, including 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014). These institutions subscribe to the Yodlee platform to power offerings that Yodlee believes improve consumer satisfaction and enhance engagement, while capturing cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. Yodlee estimate that its current network of financial institution customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users, representing a significant opportunity to potentially grow Yodlee's paid user base within existing customers. Yodlee's customers that are Internet services companies have an increasingly large and diverse base of users that also provides additional potential growth opportunities.
Financial institutions today operate in a highly fragmented, complex and regulated environment. At the same time, consumers and small businesses struggle to manage their increasingly complex finances, often across multiple online financial accounts at a variety of financial institutions, each with a different interface and login procedure. In addition, a new wave of Internet services companies is changing the way that consumers and small businesses manage their finances and transact online. As competition in the financial services industry has increased and financial institutions have concentrated resources on the sale of financial products, these institutions are seeking innovative technology solutions to improve their end users' experience and enhance engagement, while capturing data-driven cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.
The financial services industry is undergoing a technological shift. Outdated enterprise hardware and software is being replaced by cloud-driven solutions that are easier and less expensive to implement, update and manage. Banks continue to spend heavily on IT in order to compete effectively in an increasingly competitive environment. According to a January 2015 report ("IT Spending in Banking: A North American Perspective") published by Celent, an international financial research and consulting firm, total bank information technology spending across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific will grow to $196.7 billion in 2015, an increase of approximately 4.6% over 2014. Celent estimates that in 2014 U.S. and Canadian banks alone spent a total of $12.1 billion on external software, which includes purchasing costs and licensing fees associated with third-party packaged software solutions. In addition, according to a February 2015 report ("IT Spending in Banking: A Global Perspective") also published by Celent, European banks spent $14.7 billion on external software in 2014, bringing total spend on external software by U.S., Canadian and European banks to $26.8 billion. Celent projects that this combined spending will increase to $32.9 billion in 2016. Yodlee believes that as financial institutions continue to spend on technology, a growing proportion of that spending will shift from outdated internally-developed or custom-built enterprise software to cloud-based solutions. In addition to the large opportunity that Yodlee has with traditional financial institutions, Yodlee believes that it also has a significant opportunity with Internet services companies providing innovative financial solutions.
The Yodlee Financial Cloud delivers a wide variety of FinApps, and also enables Yodlee's customers to develop their own applications through Yodlee's open APIs, that deliver trusted and secure data, money movement solutions, and other feature functionality. Yodlee's FinApps are targeted at the retail financial, wealth management, small business, card and other financial solutions sectors. These FinApps help consumers and small businesses simplify and manage their finances, review their financial accounts, track their spending, calculate their net worth, and perform a variety of other activities. Examples of FinApps include Yodlee's Expense FinApp, which helps consumers track their spending, and a Payroll FinApp from a third party, which helps small businesses process their payroll.
Yodlee provide subscription services on a business-to-business-to-consumer, or B2B2C, basis to financial services clients, whereby Yodlee's customers offer Yodlee-based solutions to their customers, whom Yodlee refer to as end users. On a business-to-business, or B2B, basis Yodlee deliver the same platform to third-party developers.

Yodlee also offers data solutions and market research services that enhance the value of Yodlee's solutions to Yodlee's customers and provide insights derived from small, scrubbed, non-identified and dynamic samples from a massive population of end user-permissioned transaction-level data that Yodlee gathers and refines. Yodlee's platform collects a wide variety of end user data from over 14,000 sources and puts it in a common repository. Beyond collecting user-permissioned, non-identified transaction data elements, Yodlee's platform performs a data refining process and augments the data with additional information from a variety of other sources. Yodlee enriches the data with a proprietary twelve-step process, adding such elements as categorization and merchant identification for bank or credit card account data and investment holding identification for investment account data. With this enhanced data, Yodlee enables its customers to offer better applications and more personalized solutions to end users.
Yodlee believes that its brand leadership, innovative technology and intellectual property, large customer base, and unique data gathering and enrichment provide it with competitive advantages that have enabled it to generate strong growth.
Yodlee's solutions benefit its customers and their end users in a wide variety of ways. For both Yodlee's FI and YI customers, providing Yodlee-powered solutions improves their end user satisfaction and retention, accelerates speed to market, creates technology savings and enhances their data analytics solutions and market research capabilities. For Yodlee's customers' end users, Yodlee's solutions provide better access to their financial information and more control over their finances, leading to more informed and personalized decision making. For Yodlee's customers who are members of the developer community, Yodlee's solutions provide access to critical data and payments solutions, faster speed to market and enhanced distribution.
Yodlee's technology infrastructure is designed to provide a highly accessible and secure multi-tenant cloud-based platform across hundreds of customers and millions of end users. Yodlee's solutions use a single code base for all customers and are globally accessible across multiple digital channels. Yodlee's multi-tenancy model uses a common data model for all customers but isolates data with logical technical and administrative controls and separate encryption keys for each customer. Yodlee's architecture utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to achieve enhanced availability, scalability and security.
Yodlee believes a large addressable market and the need for innovative digital financial services give it the opportunity to grow considerably in the near term. Yodlee's growth strategy addresses two key drivers of Yodlee's business: number of paid users and revenue per paid user. As Yodlee looks to grow the number of paid users on Yodlee's platform, Yodlee intends to focus on increasing penetration within Yodlee's existing customer base, signing new customers, and expanding internationally. Yodlee also intends to drive additional revenue per paid user by introducing new solutions like data analytics solutions and market research services and by pursuing revenue-sharing opportunities from premium FinApps.
Yodlee's revenues were $50.6 million, $89.1 million, $70.2 million, and $57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. A substantial portion of Yodlee's revenues has been derived from contractually-recurring subscription revenues, and Yodlee's solutions are integrated into Yodlee's customers' business processes driving strong customer retention. Yodlee's subscription revenue net retention rate, which Yodlee uses as a measure of Yodlee's ability to retain Yodlee's customers through renewals of subscription agreements and to expand the number of Yodlee's paid users, was 121%, 124%, 123% and 114% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Yodlee generates revenues primarily from subscription fees and professional service fees. Subscription revenue has been a growing majority of Yodlee's revenues and accounted for 87%, 85%, 81% and 77% of Yodlee's revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
183
Yodlee's customer agreements typically provide for an initial three-year term, and many have a majority of subscription and support revenue derived from committed minimum fees pursuant to which Yodlee's customers generally commit to a minimum level of paid users. As paid users grow across Yodlee's platform in excess of the guaranteed minimum level, customers are required to pay additional usage fees. As usage increases and customers are required to pay additional usage fees, over time a more significant proportion of Yodlee's revenue may be derived from usage by paid users. Yodlee also generates revenue from professional services, primarily relating to the implementation and configuration of Yodlee's solutions for Yodlee's customers. The contractual nature of a significant proportion of Yodlee's revenue, together with favorable revenue retention rates, have historically assisted it in predicting Yodlee's near-term revenues and reduced the variability of Yodlee's projected revenue and cash flows.
Except in 2010, Yodlee has not been profitable on an annual basis since Yodlee's formation. Yodlee experienced a net loss of $5.6 million, $7.0 million, $1.2 million and $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Yodlee's accumulated deficit was $362.8 million and $357.2 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Consumers and Small Businesses are Struggling to Effectively Manage Their Finances
The complex and fragmented nature of the financial industry makes managing finances a stressful and frustrating activity for consumers and small businesses. Having multiple accounts requires the navigation of a variety of user interfaces and management of multiple sets of logins. Maintaining this number of disparate accounts can be complex, frustrating and time consuming as consumers struggle to gain an accurate and holistic view of their personal finances and to manage financial tasks like monitoring cash balances, budgeting and paying bills. Small businesses also struggle with effectively managing basic financial tasks, such as cash flow and expense management, invoicing and payroll. These event-driven processes are fragmented, giving rise to the need for a centralized platform that can consolidate consumers' and small businesses' finances and make these necessary everyday tasks seamless, integrated and able to be performed across multiple channels.
Widespread improvements in consumer-facing technologies in other sectors, such as media (Apple in music, Netflix/Hulu/Vudu in video), employee benefits (Benefitfocus), local service access (OpenTable, Yelp, Uber, Angie's List), and navigation (Google, Inrix, NavTeq), are driving user expectations for simpler and easier experiences in managing their finances. A similar opportunity to innovate exists within the digital financial services industry, enabling consumers and small businesses to simplify and more easily manage their finances.
Financial Institutions Have Challenges and Opportunities to Engage and Retain Their Customers
Historically, the banker-customer relationship was rooted in human interaction and underpinned by the importance of customer satisfaction. As competition in the industry increased, FIs began to concentrate more resources on the sale of financial products. Customers have become more likely to fulfill their financial needs with multiple FIs, shopping around for the best mortgage deal, lowest credit card interest rate, or highest savings account rate. FIs are increasingly challenged in retaining their role as a trusted advisor. As a result, FIs are seeking innovative technology solutions to enhance customer engagement while capturing cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.
As FIs compete for more of their customers' business, customer experience and satisfaction has become increasingly important. Today, customer satisfaction is driven by the ease and functionality of digital financial services, rather than the branch banking experience. Innovators in financial services have begun to build solutions designed for the digital world that provide a superior customer
184
experience-the use of technology to drive both a highly automated and highly personalized experience-to deepen and strengthen the relationship and engagement with their customers. Enabling deeper and better engagement in financial services demands new technology solutions that offer speed to market, security, efficiency and sophisticated data capabilities.
Emerging Internet-Based Financial Services Companies are Paving the Path of Innovation
While FIs invest heavily in new initiatives to enhance their digital capabilities, a new wave of hundreds of Internet services companies is also changing the way consumers and small businesses execute transactions and manage their finances. Offerings like eWallets, virtual currencies and Amazon Payments, and companies like LifeLock, PayPal and Xero, are driving accelerated new user adoption with a range of solutions across multiple markets geared towards simplifying financial interactions, processes, transactions and management. These entities require scalable and secure technology platforms, data and payment capabilities to continue to accelerate their rate of adoption.
Cloud-Based Platforms are Simplifying Software Delivery
Celent estimates that IT spending by banks in the United States and Canada will increase to $62.2 billion in 2015. Outdated enterprise software systems are expensive and time-consuming to deploy and to update, and traditionally have had high levels of maintenance. According to Celent, approximately 72.6% of the IT budget at U.S. and Canadian banks, or $45.2 billion in 2015 will be dedicated to maintaining legacy systems and operations ("IT Spending in Banking: A North American Perspective," January 2015). Furthermore, outdated enterprise software deployment makes new solutions difficult to implement, dampening the pace of innovation.
The rise of cloud-based platforms is the result of rapid and significant technological improvements. Because cloud computing enables the delivery of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), it is helping to reduce costs, increase speed to market, and enable greater levels of innovation relative to outdated enterprise software. Mission critical applications can now be delivered reliably without the purchase of costly on-premise software or hardware. Cloud-based platforms permit the development of applications without affecting the common capabilities maintained at the platform layer. Therefore, cloud-based platforms can be leveraged by multiple participants in the ecosystem, including customers and third-party developers, to create better solutions. The shared utility of cloud-based platforms permits a deeper level of vertical and functional specialization and creates an environment conducive to rapid and disruptive innovation.
Open Platforms and Application-Level Developer Ecosystems are Driving Innovation Forward
Open platform companies are changing the way innovation occurs across the economy. Enterprise cloud vendors such as salesforce.com, ServiceNow, and Concur, and companies like Amazon.com and Google provide open platforms with highly configurable application layers that are easily extendable into new application functionality by the vendors themselves, their enterprise customers, and third-party developers. Developers use these platforms as a base for rapid and more efficient delivery of innovative digital solutions and services.
As exemplified in other industries, this open platform system can result in an improved experience for the end user, developer, institutional customer and platform provider alike. Products can come to market faster, with better functionality, and these improved solutions can benefit customers, leading to heightened levels of end user demand. For the institutions utilizing these open platforms, developer community-led innovation helps to keep pace with rapidly evolving consumer expectations.
185
New Technology Platforms are Leveraging Big Data
In the financial services industry, data is highly fragmented and complex and often siloed at not only individual institutions but also within the various business units at a specific institution. Yodlee believes there is an opportunity to leverage this data to transform and improve existing processes and procedures around financial management, customer engagement and credit and risk management. As new technologies emerge to organize, process and access this siloed data, new business models that aggregate and syndicate intelligence are turning vast amounts of otherwise unusable information into actionable data used for superior process management and business insight.
In an increasingly mobile and digital world, consumer expectations of financial service providers continue to rise. Consumers are evaluating these providers based in part on the functionality and user experience of their digital services. In this environment, a financial service provider's ability to create a differentiated user experience for its customers is increasingly important in sustaining a competitive advantage, which requires innovation to help address unsolved consumer problems and an ability to bring these innovations to market quickly. Cloud-based platforms facilitate rapid discovery and implementation of new solutions and enable financial service providers to integrate new solutions more efficiently.
Against this industry backdrop, Yodlee believes it has a significant market opportunity. Celent estimates that in 2014 U.S. and Canadian banks alone spent a total of $12.1 billion on external software, which includes purchasing costs and licensing fees associated with third-party packaged software solutions ("IT Spending in Banking: A North American Perspective," January 2015). In addition, Celent estimates that European banks spent $14.7 billion on external software in 2014, bringing the total spend on external software by U.S., Canadian and European banks to $26.8 billion. Celent projects that this combined spending will increase to $32.9 billion in 2016 ("IT Spending in Banking: A Global Perspective," February 2015).
Yodlee also has a significant market opportunity with Yodlee's YI customer base. Yodlee's Internet services customers such as Kabbage, LearnVest, PayPal and Xero have an increasingly large and diverse number of users and the need for a variety of financial solutions to support their development and delivery of innovative financial services. Yodlee believes its services have the potential to address a wide variety of additional financial and data marketing needs of Yodlee's YI customers.
Yodlee believes a portion of its future growth and addressable market will also come from expansion into large and rapidly growing markets, such as data solutions examples of which are cross-selling within financial institutions and market research services, and online credit information services.
As Yodlee continues to expand Yodlee's presence in the markets outlined above, the number of potential end users who use Yodlee's solutions increases dramatically. Yodlee's potential end user base includes any consumer of financial services on the Internet-and this end user could be a paid user of Yodlee many times over across multiple customers and products. This multiplier effect greatly increases Yodlee's addressable end user base.
Yodlee is a leading technology and applications platform powering dynamic innovation for digital financial services in the cloud. Yodlee refers to its platform as the Yodlee Financial Cloud. Yodlee provides subscription services on a B2B2C basis to financial services clients, whereby Yodlee's customers offer solutions based on Yodlee's platform to their end users. On a B2B basis, Yodlee delivers an open platform to customers and third-party developers through Yodlee's API's. Yodlee also
186
provides transaction-level data for data solutions and market research services. Yodlee serves two main customer groups or channels: FI and YI customers.
Yodlee's FI customers encompass many of the leading FIs, including 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014). Yodlee estimates that its current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users, representing a significant opportunity to grow Yodlee's paid user base within existing customers.
Yodlee's YI customers are Internet services companies providing innovative financial solutions, with an increasingly large and diverse base of users, and third-party developers. Third-party developers benefit from access to critical data and payment capabilities, Yodlee's faster speed to market and enhanced distribution.
Yodlee's platform powers hundreds of FinApps created and made available by it, Yodlee's customers and third-party developers. FinApps can be sold individually or in combinations and include personal financial management, wealth management, card, payments and SMB solutions. Examples of FinApps are an Expense FinApp that helps a consumer track their spending, or a Payroll FinApp from a third party that can help a small business with processing its payroll. Yodlee's open APIs enable it, Yodlee's FI and YI customers and third-party developers to create new FinApps that can be made available across Yodlee's broad end user base.
Yodlee also provides its customers with trusted and secure access to Yodlee's platform via APIs that enable them to receive end user-permissioned transaction-level data that Yodlee aggregates and cleanses. Access to this data enables Yodlee's customers to create a much more complete view of their end users' finances, allowing them to make better informed, targeted decisions. Yodlee also offers data for data solutions and market research services that enhance the value of Yodlee's solutions to Yodlee's customers and provide anonymized data derived from a massive and dynamic set of end user-permissioned transaction-level data that Yodlee gathers and refines. Yodlee collects this data from over 14,000 sources and, as of June 30, 2015, received 75% of it through structured data feeds that are provided under the terms of Yodlee's contracts with most of Yodlee's FI customers. These structured feeds, which consist of either batch files pushed to it or real-time access, provide this critical data efficiently and at scale. Where Yodlee does not have a data feed in place, Yodlee is able to gather consumer data leveraging Yodlee's proprietary information-gathering techniques.
In addition to aggregated transaction-level account data, Yodlee provides Yodlee's customers with secure access to account verification, money movement and risk assessment tools via Yodlee's APIs. By using Yodlee's account verification solutions, customers can verify an end user's account information, ownership and balance in real time, reducing risk for Yodlee's customers when interacting with an end user's checking account. By using Yodlee's money movement solutions, end users can debit and credit consumer and small business accounts in real time or in batches, route payments between accounts or to other people and pay bills.
Yodlee has developed best-in-class security procedures and technologies that are embedded into Yodlee's platform and applications and meet industry standards as well as the stringent security requirements of Yodlee's largest FI customers. Yodlee's security procedures and technologies are regularly audited by independent security auditors engaged by it, and many of Yodlee's prospective and current customers conduct their own audits or review the results of such independent security audits as part of their evaluation of Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee is also periodically audited by regulatory agencies to which Yodlee's operations or Yodlee's customers are subject. Yodlee's platform is available across multiple channels, including web, tablet and mobile.
187
Yodlee's solutions drive tangible results for its customers:

Speed to MarketYodlee's open platform makes it easier for FIs, Internet services companies and third-party developers to create new applications on Yodlee's platform that can be deployed across Yodlee's customer base. Yodlee's broad network of developers enables solutions to be more rapidly distributed to Yodlee's customers via Yodlee's established channels. Yodlee's cloud-based platform can make new solutions easier and faster to deploy than outdated enterprise software solutions. When a customer decides to use, or add functionality from, the Yodlee platform, time to deployment can be less than three months. Implementation of internally-developed or custom-built outdated enterprise software solutions can often take multiple years.
Technology SavingsYodlee's solutions often provide Yodlee's customers with extensive cost savings as compared to outdated internally-developed or custom-built enterprise software solutions, without the need to purchase additional hardware or software. In addition, these solutions can be inefficient to maintain and update. Because the Yodlee platform is cloud-based, updates can be made readily available in a cost-effective manner. For Yodlee's YI customers, Yodlee's solutions provide a capital-efficient means of developing their service offerings and reaching end users.
Enhanced Data Solutions and Market Research CapabilitiesYodlee's data aggregation platform provides an opportunity for Yodlee's customers to leverage transaction-level data for data solutions and market research uses. Through the data Yodlee make available, Yodlee's customers can create a much more complete view of their end users' finances, allowing them to make better informed targeting decisions. For example, Yodlee's customers may be able to engage with their end users on new investment and credit solutions. These targeting decisions create cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. In addition, Yodlee's comprehensive sets of anonymized data enable various market research and trend analyses for multiple use cases.
Yodlee's solutions also provide tangible benefits for end users:
Better Access and FunctionalityYodlee's solutions enable customers to aggregate information into a single view of multiple accounts across several financial institutions. Yodlee provides end users with access to highly engaging personalized financial applications across multiple channels, such as web, mobile and tablet.
More ControlYodlee's solutions provide end users with more control over their finances, by providing access to applications designed to make financial tasks like budgeting, saving for a goal and investing for the future easier. These applications are designed to intelligently present financial information in a way that gives end users more control in a seamless, integrated and accessible fashion.
Informed Personalized Decision MakingYodlee's FinApps ecosystem, built on top of the Yodlee platform, provides end users with relevant content and applications when they need to take action or make decisions.
188
Yodlee's solutions also offer benefits to Yodlee's customers that are members of the developer community:
Enhanced DistributionYodlee estimates that Yodlee's current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users. This provides developers with large-scale distribution opportunities for their solutions.
Speed to MarketAccess to Yodlee's unique data platform and Yodlee's open, secure and trusted APIs enhances speed to market for Yodlee's developers.
Access to Critical Data and Payments CapabilitiesYodlee's solutions provide developers with critical data and payments capabilities which allows them to focus their innovation on their unique offerings.
Since Yodlee's founding in 1999, Yodlee has built a premier and trusted brand in digital financial services. Yodlee's competitive strengths include:
Yodlee has developed a leading market presence with over 900 organizations, including 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014). These organizations include some of the largest and best known retail banks, brokerages, insurance companies, wealth management firms, private banking institutions and card companies. Yodlee's platform also enables the emergence or functionality of many innovative Internet services companies. These customer relationships and deployments have taken many years to accomplish, with complex sales cycles and integration efforts. Yodlee has 20.7 million paid users and estimates that Yodlee's current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users. Yodlee has significant opportunity to grow the number of paid users with existing customers, as well as leverage Yodlee's market leadership with new customers across Yodlee's platform. Yodlee believes that its ability to retain existing customers through renewals of subscription agreements and expand the number of paid users of Yodlee's applications and services is an indicator of the long-term value of Yodlee's customer relationships.
Over Yodlee's 15-year history, Yodlee has developed and maintained a commitment to excellence in Yodlee's product offerings and client engagements. Yodlee's brand is reinforced by its stable and growing customer base. A large part of the reputation Yodlee has established comes from its commitment to scalability, security, privacy and compliance throughout all of Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee has developed robust security procedures and technologies that are embedded into its platform and applications and meet industry standards as well as the stringent security requirements of Yodlee's largest FI customers. Yodlee employs a comprehensive program of risk-driven policies and procedures that are frequently audited by independent security auditors engaged by it to maximize effectiveness of Yodlee's information security program.
Yodlee provides its customers with data solutions and market research services that enhance the value of Yodlee's solutions and anonymized data derived from a massive and dynamic set of end
189
user-permissioned transaction-level data that Yodlee gathers and refines. Yodlee's big data activities include two key processes:
Data GatheringYodlee's platform collects a wide variety of end user-permissioned transaction-level data from over 14,000 sources and puts it into a common repository. As of June 30, 2015, 75% of this data was collected through structured feeds from Yodlee's FI customers and other FIs. These structured feeds, which consist of either batch files pushed to it or real-time access, provide this critical data efficiently and at scale. This direct data connectivity to large FIs is a significant competitive advantage for it. Where Yodlee does not have direct connections, Yodlee captures data using Yodlee's proprietary information-gathering techniques. Yodlee's flexible data model allows new and incremental data sources and data elements to be added quickly and efficiently.
Data EnrichmentBeyond collecting data, Yodlee's platform performs a data refining process and augments the data with additional information from a variety of other sources. With this enhanced data, Yodlee enables its customers to offer better applications and more personalized solutions to their end users which provide end users insights that allow them to take better control of, and better manage, their finances.
Yodlee has a history of innovation leadership. In 1999, Yodlee introduced the first financial account aggregation product to the digital financial services industry. Yodlee was the first platform to go to market with online personal financial management tools in 2006 and first to introduce an open platform for digital financial services in 2010. Recently, Yodlee's innovation was recognized by the Best of Show award for Yodlee's new collaborative finance mobile product, Tandem, which won at the Finovate Conference in September 2013 and at the Finovate Asia Conference in November 2013. Additionally, Yodlee was named Best of Show at FinDEVr in October 2014 for Yodlee's secure APIs that connect financial apps and services with significantly accurate categorical financial data. Furthermore, Yodlee was selected as a winner from more than 50 finalists for Yodlee's multi-national voice and digital financial management application at the Citi Mobile Challenge Latam in November 2014.
As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee had been granted 72 U.S. issued patents in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, such as the European Patent Office, Canada, Australia and India, as well as additional patent applications pending in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Yodlee believes its innovation leadership is a core strength that positions it for future growth.
Yodlee's solutions are built on a scalable open cloud-based technology platform that allows it to address the challenges facing FI and YI customers. Yodlee's platform was created to support the existing challenges of Yodlee's customers and to evolve with them to address their future needs. Yodlee has a highly configurable platform that enables Yodlee's customers to create differentiated solutions. Yodlee has open and secure APIs that leverage Yodlee's data aggregation and money movement capabilities. As Yodlee's business continues to grow, Yodlee expects its open APIs to continue to attract an active community of third-party developers, whose innovations will further extend Yodlee's existing set of products and applications. With these tools delivered through Yodlee's highly efficient Software-as-a-Service-based, or SaaS-based, model, Yodlee is able to provide its customers with valuable data and innovative services quickly and efficiently.
Access to Yodlee's platform and data is predominantly through Yodlee's hosted web pages and applications, and client-created applications utilizing Yodlee's APIs and FinApps. This variety of access methods and usage has contributed to an increase in user logins on the Yodlee platform to over
190
5 million per day. Yodlee process over 27 million API calls per day, while maintaining an average API response time under 500 milliseconds.
The Yodlee Financial Cloud brings together FIs, Internet services companies, end users and third-party developers by providing a unified, flexible, cloud-based platform that can deliver applications and new solutions at scale with powerful network effects.
Yodlee estimates that Yodlee's current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users. As Yodlee's platform usage grows and is exposed to more users and use cases, the system benefits from machine learning algorithms to better normalize, categorize and process high volumes of transaction-level data captured on Yodlee's platform, allowing Yodlee's network to become more effective, efficient and valuable to Yodlee's customers.
As Yodlee's platform has become more effective and efficient, Yodlee has attracted a broad network of third-party developers. As more developers build on Yodlee's platform, the number of solutions Yodlee can offer to Yodlee's FI and YI customers increases, expanding the number of end users on the platform, and further enhancing Yodlee's network, accelerating the pace of innovation.
As Yodlee's end user community grows, users are able to leverage Yodlee's platform by establishing connections to other end users to form financially relevant social groups, contributing further network effects.
Yodlee's growth strategy is currently divided into two primary areas of focus: user growth and revenue per paid user growth. Key elements of Yodlee's growth strategy include:
Expand End User Usage with Existing CustomersYodlee believes there are significant opportunities for growth within Yodlee's existing customer base. As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee's customer base has grown to more than 900 organizations using the Yodlee platform and Yodlee receives subscription fees for 20.7 million paid users. Yodlee's FI customers encompass many of the leading FIs, including 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014). Yodlee estimates that its current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users, representing a significant potential opportunity to grow Yodlee's paid user base within existing customers. Yodlee believes it can increase penetration among its existing customer base, both by increasing the adoption of Yodlee's solutions in business units that Yodlee currently serves and by expanding into new business units. Yodlee intends to grow its business in the retail, financial, wealth management, small business, card and other financial solutions sectors in part by distributing FinApp solutions tailored to the needs of those sectors. Yodlee also believes distributing FinApp solutions tailored to specific sectors will enable FIs to deepen engagement across their user base and will contribute to growth.
Grow the Number of CustomersWhile Yodlee's platform was used by more than 450 FIs, including many of the top FIs, and 350 Internet services companies globally as of December 31, 2014, many opportunities exist for it to target new customers. According to Bankscope by Bureau van Dijk, as of March 14, 2014, there were approximately 9,941 active banks in the U.S. and 22,409 globally. Yodlee continues to drive efforts to deploy solutions with leading global FIs while also driving penetration in smaller FIs through channel partners. Yodlee intends to employ a land and expand strategy to target these institutions with simple initial product offerings and continually grow use cases over time. In addition, Yodlee believes demand for Yodlee's YI solutions will continue to grow outside
191
Yodlee's current areas of focus. Yodlee's product capabilities across Yodlee's YI customers currently cover over 30 sub-verticals and these capabilities will continue to increase as Yodlee's platform usage grows and is exposed to more use cases. In many of these use cases, there is considerable room for expansion of Yodlee's offerings. Lastly, Yodlee's emerging data solutions and market research efforts are developing new product and customer base opportunities as Yodlee expands.
Increase Yodlee's Global Market PresenceYodlee intends to deepen Yodlee's presence in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa, India and Australia, and to establish a presence in select markets in Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Yodlee will continue to focus on selling to the largest banking organizations and YI customers in each region using a scalable approach to enter new markets in a cost-effective manner.
In addition to generating revenue directly from Yodlee's platform and FinApps with Yodlee's FI and YI customers, Yodlee also intends to grow its revenue by providing additional data solutions and market research services and are pursuing revenue-sharing opportunities from premium FinApps developed by its developer partners.
Data Solutions and Market ResearchYodlee believes there is significant value inherent in its data solutions and market research services which it can realize through several different channels:
Data-driven cross-sell and digital marketing opportunitiesThe scale and breadth of Yodlee's platform allow it to gather transaction-level data from user accounts in outside institutions that provides a more holistic understanding of Yodlee's customers' end users than Yodlee's customers are able to compile themselves. Yodlee's data solutions and market research services can be used by its customers to enhance the efficacy of their marketing strategies, enabling them to capture cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. There is also significant value in integrating Yodlee's data services into FI customer relationship management systems.
Market researchYodlee has developed data products by aggregating anonymized financial transactions that occur on Yodlee's platform, which will then power research and reporting products for multiple research use cases.
Credit and risk analyticsThe end user-permissioned transaction-level data can also be used to improve real-time authentication and risk management and to enhance predictive analysis.
FinAppsYodlee is pursuing opportunities to grow revenue from premium FinApps through revenue sharing with developer partners and Yodlee's customers. Yodlee is engaging with a number of partners on Yodlee's platform and are focusing Yodlee's efforts on connecting these partners with Yodlee's customers for distribution to their end users.
Yodlee designs, builds, and delivers flexible solutions within the Yodlee Financial Cloud. These solutions broadly address the financial management needs of end users. Yodlee's customers deploy these products to enhance end user engagement across all digital channels.

Yodlee APIs allow Yodlee, FI and YI customers, including third-party developers, to build applications on the Yodlee platform. Yodlee's customers can use these APIs to develop proprietary applications. In addition, Yodlee's customers and third-party developers can also leverage these APIs to create FinApps that are available across all digital channels including Web, tablet, and mobile. Access to Yodlee APIs is licensed to FI and YI customers based on the solutions they seek to supplement. All of the Yodlee APIs are available via traditional Simple Object Access protocols or the more modern Representational State Transfer or Java Script Object Notation formats.
Key APIs include:
Yodlee PersonalFinance Management and Yodlee Risk Management APIs. These APIs provide customers with access to user-permissioned financial data.
Yodlee MoneyMovement APIs. These APIs provide customers with access to traditional payment mechanisms through the money movement capabilities of the Yodlee platform.
Yodlee uses the transaction-level data gathered and refined by the Yodlee platform to provide data solutions and market research services that enhance the value of its solutions to its customers, as well as leverage the breadth and depth of its anonymized data with new customers. Transaction data
193
enrichment delivers robust transaction-level merchant identification capabilities coupled with simplified transaction descriptions and geolocation. This transaction data enrichment service is developed to enable FIs and Internet service companies to more effectively engage digital users with relevant information on their transactions and increase success rates on offers.
Technology, Security and Operations
Yodlee's technology infrastructure is designed to provide a highly available and secure multi-tenant cloud-based platform across hundreds of customers and millions of end users. Yodlee's solutions use a single code base for all customers and are globally accessible across multiple digital channels. Yodlee's multi-tenancy model uses a common data model for all customers but isolates data with logical controls and separate encryption keys for each customer.
Yodlee's SaaS platform is highly scalable. Yodlee's architecture utilizes state-of-the-art technologies, hardware and software to achieve enhanced availability, scalability and security. Yodlee has architected the system to scale horizontally allowing it to add more servers as volumes increase. The data base processing uses large servers and high performance storage arrays. This scalability is made possible by extensive use of parallel, distributed, and auto-scaling message based architectures. Yodlee's support tools, commercial and internally-developed, provide consistent and cost efficient processes across products and support functions.
Yodlee's infrastructure and applications have been designed and built to optimize this SaaS environment. Yodlee's applications, APIs, and FinApps all access the same core application layer and backend processing. Yodlee enable highly customized deployments and still maintain the efficiencies of a SaaS model. This is accomplished through a configuration architecture in Yodlee's application framework. This Yodlee-developed framework allows for extensive customer-specific configuration in the user experience and the functions exposed to end users, while still maintaining a true multi-tenant SaaS operational model.
The backbone of Yodlee's technology includes Yodlee's data aggregation and money movement capabilities in a highly secure environment.
Yodlee's data aggregation platform collects a wide variety of end user-permissioned transaction-level data from over 14,000 sources and puts it in a common repository. Over the last 15 years Yodlee has developed robust proprietary technology and processes and established relationships that allow it to curate these data sources and expand Yodlee's access to new data sources. As of June 30, 2015, 75% of this data was collected through structured feeds from Yodlee's FI customers and other FIs. These structured feeds, which consist of either batch files pushed to it or real-time access, provide this critical data efficiently and at scale. Where Yodlee does not have direct connections, Yodlee capture data using Yodlee's proprietary information-gathering techniques.
Beyond collecting data, Yodlee's data aggregation platform performs a data refining process and augments the data with additional information from a variety of other sources. Yodlee enriches the data with a proprietary twelve-step process, adding such elements as categorization and merchant identification for bank or credit card account data and investment holding identification for investment account data. As Yodlee's platform usage grows and is exposed to more users and use cases, the system benefits from machine learning algorithms to better normalize, categorize and process large amounts of data, allowing Yodlee's network to become more effective, efficient and valuable to Yodlee's customers. With this enhanced data, including consolidated data from within Yodlee's FI customers and account data regarding accounts at other FIs, Yodlee enables its customers to offer more personalized solutions
194
to their end users, which provide end users insights that allow them to take better control of, and better manage, their finances.
Yodlee's money movement solutions facilitate payment flows. Yodlee's customers can debit and credit consumer and small business accounts in real time or in batches and route payments between accounts (funds transfer), to billers (bill pay), or to other individuals (peer to peer). Designed to be run as a service, Yodlee's money movement solutions allow it to operate these functionalities in the cloud and quickly adapt to new payment systems.
Yodlee's payment engine, which is a principal component of Yodlee's money movement solutions, is a task-based payment processing platform that controls all payment activity across cobrands, originators, processors, and billers. Yodlee's payment engine handles multiple tasks, including payment initiation, payment routing, payment processing, Office of Foreign Assets Control checking of payee and payer, and risk and fraud detection.
As a provider of financial data and digital financial management services, Yodlee's security and data integrity are critical components of Yodlee's platform and applications. Yodlee has developed robust security procedures and technologies that are embedded into Yodlee's platform and applications and meet industry standards as well as the stringent security requirements of Yodlee's largest FI customers. Yodlee employs a comprehensive program of risk-driven policies and procedures to maximize effectiveness of Yodlee's information security program, including frequent external audits. In 2014, Yodlee successfully passed numerous security and operational audits conducted by Yodlee's customers and independent security auditors engaged by it. Many of Yodlee's current and prospective customers reviewed the results of such audits as part of their evaluation of Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee is also audited by U.S. regulatory agencies to whom its operations or Yodlee's customers' operations are subject. Yodlee follow industry security standards in the design and implementation of Yodlee's applications, systems and network. For example, Yodlee uses extensive network segmentation to separate Yodlee's production, staging, development, corporate, and other platforms from each other with access controls between each zone. Other key security processes include: keystroke logging of administrative actions; file integrity monitoring; systems and network vulnerability scanning; security monitoring with event correlation; and security incident response procedures.
Yodlee physically hosts the Yodlee platform in five third-party data centers in the United States, Canada and India that provide secure facilities, space, power, and Internet connectivity and service all customers, both domestic and international. Yodlee also plans to host the Yodlee platform in third-party data centers in additional international locations in the future. Yodlee owns or leases the hardware and owns or licenses the software used to host its solutions. Currently the primary production data center and disaster recovery center, in the United States and the largest data centers for Yodlee, has two different third-party providers. This reduces the risk and dependencies on any single hosting provider. Similarly, Yodlee has already established relationships and services with different international data centers providers.
Yodlee's contracts with data center providers only require standard services such as floor and secure cage space, standard power density for systems, and redundant internet connectivity. Yodlee does not require managed services or any customized hosting services. Yodlee's staff can remotely manage systems and platform in all data centers and when needed Yodlee's employees perform work
195
on-site. Yodlee's platform is also certified to run on virtual machines and thus start-up and implementation of new data center capacity in the same or different hosting providers can be completed in a relatively short timeframe.
Yodlee has Service Level Agreements, or SLAs, with customers that define Yodlee's operational and performance commitments, and Yodlee deploys commercial and internally-developed tools to monitor and report on SLA commitments. Yodlee runs a command center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that is responsible for monitoring Yodlee's operations.
Yodlee also has formal disaster recovery programs for Yodlee's internal services and Yodlee's customers' applications. Yodlee regularly test Yodlee's internal disaster recovery programs and engage in annual testing with customers. In addition, Yodlee's infrastructure consists of highly redundant environments. This includes redundant equipment at every layer with various configurations such as active/active and active/failover.
Yodlee's research and development efforts are generally focused on improving Yodlee's existing and developing new data aggregation and money movement components, security infrastructure, APIs, new FinApps, data solutions and market research services and tools for third-party developers. As of December 31, 2014, Yodlee had approximately 430 employees in the research and development department in Yodlee's India and U.S. offices who are dedicated to improving Yodlee's existing solutions, developing new solutions that meet Yodlee's customers' needs and maintaining quality control over Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee's significant presence in India provides it with direct access to a large pool of talented engineers from which it has been able to successfully recruit, hire and retain qualified personnel who help to drive Yodlee's business growth.
Yodlee's research and development expenses were $23.6 million, $17.9 million and $16.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Yodlee's sales and business development teams are responsible for acquiring and growing Yodlee's relationships with customers, channel and development partners.
Yodlee has a direct sales and pre-sales team servicing the leading global FIs. The FI sales team is divided geographically into two regional groups: North America, Europe, Middle East/Africa and Asia-Pacific. Each regional sales and pre-sales team is responsible for acquiring new FI customers. Within the North America region Yodlee further divides Yodlee's direct sales and pre-sales representatives into teams that focus on specific accounts, on a named-account basis, depending on size, location, product specialization and/or brand. Yodlee's direct sales and pre-sales teams are supported by customer advocacy teams who specialize in customer account management and expansion. Together, sales, pre-sales and customer advocacy representatives are responsible for growing Yodlee's customer relationships in terms of account penetration (cross-selling additional products and services into the same or additional groups within a FI) and expanding use of existing products and services (increasing usage). Yodlee also has a global channel partner sales team responsible for acquiring and supporting channel partners who target sales to FIs with fewer than $20 billion in deposits or assets under management. Additionally, Yodlee has resources that pursue Yodlee's opportunities for sales of data solutions and market research services.
Yodlee has a direct sales and technical pre-sales team servicing Internet services companies and partners in each region in which Yodlee currently operate or intend to operate. This sales team is
196

Each regional sales and technical pre-sales team is responsible for acquiring new customers and channel partners. From time to time, Yodlee assigns specific accounts based upon sales or domain expertise. Yodlee's direct sales and technical pre-sales teams are supported by a customer success and developer relations team who specialize in customer API integration, and account management and expansion, including services to Yodlee's channel partners. Together, sales, technical pre-sales, customer success and developer relations representatives are responsible for growing Yodlee's direct customer and channel partner relationships in terms of account penetration and API usage.
Yodlee's marketing efforts are focused on initiatives to drive global company, brand and solutions awareness and significant lead generation and sales acceleration across Yodlee's whole business. These initiatives include educating the market about Yodlee, achieving recognition as the industry leader through awards, speaking engagements, thought leadership articles, data trends and metrics, and high profile interviews.
Yodlee is constantly refining its grassroots lead-generation approach to ensure that it generates high quality sales leads that meet or exceed its pipeline goals. Yodlee employs a variety of integrated sales and marketing initiatives, including hosted demand generation webinars, sponsorship and partnership of key industry conferences, customer and developer-focused events and programs, meet-ups and hack-a-thons, and other high-profile activities designed to demonstrate thought leadership and engage new audiences in actionable and measurable ways. Yodlee employs many tools, including web and social properties, integrated creative campaigns consisting of online advertising, digital and video content marketing, direct mail, blogs, analyst relations and media relations. In addition, Yodlee's marketing efforts develop consumer best practices tools, case studies, and education to drive deeper consumer activity and engagement with top customers.
Yodlee's sales and marketing expenses were $22.4 million, $15.4 million, and $13.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Yodlee provides a variety of implementation services to Yodlee's customers, focused on configuring the Yodlee platform to meet customer needs. Yodlee's platform is designed to be robust, yet easy to configure and personalize, to ensure an efficient implementation process. Yodlee engages with key customers on projects ranging from turnkey implementations to ongoing consulting engagements. As a part of every implementation, Yodlee provides training to Yodlee's customers.
Yodlee has developed expertise and experience in integrating Yodlee's solutions with Yodlee's customers' platforms throughout Yodlee's history. Yodlee's professional services team, working closely with Yodlee's support and operations teams, uses this expertise and experience in Yodlee's efforts to ensure the end user has a positive experience with Yodlee's solutions.
Yodlee's customer support is provided via Yodlee's software-based Yodlee CustomerCare console, phone or e-mail and is available to Yodlee's FI and YI customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as a second level of support for issues that Yodlee's customers cannot resolve internally.
Yodlee customer support is provided both on an on-demand basis through Yodlee's support command center, and on an ongoing basis through Yodlee's Technical Account Managers. Yodlee's support command center is responsible for all urgent issues with Yodlee's customers. Once an issue is
197
identified, customer support triages the issue and assigns it to several internal teams depending upon the type of issue that is encountered. Yodlee's ongoing customer support is administered by Yodlee's Technical Account Managers. Each manager is assigned to key accounts and is responsible for meeting with customers on a weekly basis to discuss the overall status of the account.
Yodlee relies on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, license agreements, confidentiality procedures and confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements to establish and protect Yodlee's proprietary rights in Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee generally enters into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with Yodlee's employees, contractors, vendors and customers. Yodlee also seeks to control access to and distribution of Yodlee's software, documentation and other proprietary information.
As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee had 72 issued patents in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions as well as additional pending patent applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As a pioneer in data aggregation, Yodlee has patents relating to Yodlee's core aggregation engine. In addition, Yodlee's patent portfolio includes patents relating to the supporting infrastructure of error reporting, error correction and auto configuration functionalities. Yodlee also has patents relating to applications of aggregation, including reporting, financial analysis, bill presentment and identity verification. Yodlee also seek patents on new and emerging technologies, such as FinApps.
Yodlee use various trademarks for Yodlee's products and solutions and "Yodlee," "Yodlee Moneycenter," "Yodlee Personalpay," "Paytoday," "Payitall," "Innovation Applied," "Finapp" and Yodlee's logo are Yodlee's registered trademarks in the United States. Yodlee also has registered trademarks and pending trademark applications in foreign jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada, the EU, India, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico and South Africa.
Despite Yodlee's efforts to protect Yodlee's intellectual property and proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or obtain and use Yodlee's technology to develop solutions that provide features and functionality that are similar to Yodlee's solutions. Policing unauthorized use of Yodlee's intellectual property and proprietary rights is difficult and expensive, and Yodlee's monitoring and policing activities may not be sufficient to identify any misappropriation and protect Yodlee's proprietary technology. If unauthorized use of Yodlee's intellectual property and proprietary rights were to occur, it could harm Yodlee's reputation and adversely affect Yodlee's competitive position or operations. In addition, laws of other jurisdictions may not protect Yodlee's intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use or disclosure in the same manner as the United States. If Yodlee is unable to protect Yodlee's proprietary rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to Yodlee's or similar technologies, Yodlee's business, revenue, reputation and competitive position could be harmed.
Yodlee's customers include financial institutions, Internet service companies providing innovative financial solutions and third-party developers of financial applications. Yodlee's platform was used by more than 450 FIs, including many of the top FIs, and 350 Internet services companies globally as of December 31, 2014. Because a portion of Yodlee's business is targeted at the highly concentrated financial industry and Yodlee's largest customers include 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014), a significant portion of Yodlee's revenue is concentrated among a small number of these large financial institution customers. As a percentage of total revenue, revenue derived from its three largest customers, as a group, was approximately 21.0%, 25.4%, 32.2% and 31% during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

See the section entitled "Yodlee's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsBacklog" of this proxy statement/prospectus for information regarding Yodlee's backlog.
While Yodlee does not believe any single company in the digital financial services market offers a comprehensive platform with features such as ours, the following companies offer products that compete with one or more of Yodlee's solutions:
Yodlee believes the principal competitive factors in digital financial services include the following: reputation, cloud-based delivery model, data aggregation capability, access to data through direct connectivity to FIs, scale (size of customer base and level of user adoption), security, time to market, breadth and depth of application functionality user experience, access to third-party applications, ease of use, ease of integration, flexibility and configurability, and competitive pricing. Yodlee believes that it competes favorably with respect to all of these factors.
Yodlee is subject to numerous domestic and foreign laws and regulations covering a wide variety of subject matter. New laws and regulations (or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations) may also impact Yodlee's business. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations are high and are likely to increase in the future and any failure on Yodlee's part to comply with these laws may subject it to significant liabilities and other penalties.
Yodlee's culture and employees are fundamental to Yodlee's success. Dedication to innovation is a core element of Yodlee's culture. Yodlee achieves and sustains innovation by always striving to be the best in whatever Yodlee do, enabled by a focus on teamwork and an open and authentic environment. Yodlee seeks to hire enthusiastic employees who will help it perpetuate Yodlee's positive workplace environment. Yodlee also offers a work exchange program for many of Yodlee's employees in technical roles. This program provides Yodlee's employees the opportunity to work overseas with their peers and to collaborate face to face with one another on a variety of projects. Yodlee believes this program enhances opportunities for innovation, provides valuable work experience and strengthens Yodlee's corporate culture. In addition, Yodlee has a leadership program to align both Yodlee's company's leaders and the organization. Yodlee believes that the company culture Yodlee has established through these programs and initiatives contributes to strong employee retention in both Yodlee's U.S. and India offices.

Yodlee currently leases approximately 36,000 square feet of space for Yodlee's corporate headquarters located at 3600 Bridge Parkway, Redwood City, California under a lease agreement that expires in March 2022. As part of the amendment to Yodlee's lease entered into on October 28, 2014, Yodlee has agreed to the expansion of the premises covered under the lease by approximately 12,000 square feet of office space effective no later than April 1, 2017. Yodlee is in a temporary space until construction of the expanded office spaces is complete.
Yodlee also leases approximately 84,000 square feet of space for Yodlee's Bangalore, India office under three lease agreements that expire between April and May 2017. These offices are used for administrative, marketing, support and development operations. In connection with Yodlee's sales efforts, Yodlee also leases office space in London, England. Yodlee believes that Yodlee's current facilities are sufficient for Yodlee's current needs.
Yodlee intends to add new facilities or expand existing facilities as Yodlee adds staff or expands Yodlee's geographic markets, and Yodlee believes that suitable additional space will be available as needed to accommodate any such expansion of Yodlee's organization. Yodlee believes its facilities are sufficient for Yodlee's current needs. For more information about Yodlee's lease commitments, see Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies" of the Notes to Yodlee's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Yodlee may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from the normal course of business activities, and an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect Yodlee's future business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. For a description of Yodlee's material pending legal proceedings, see Note 7"Commitments and ContingenciesLegal Matters" of the Notes to Yodlee's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

On December 2, 2014, Yodlee filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Plaid Technologies Inc. ("Plaid") has and is continuing to infringe on seven of Yodlee's U.S. patents. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, enhanced damages, interest, fees, expenses, costs and injunctive relief against Plaid. On January 23, 2015, in lieu of filing an answer to the complaint, Plaid filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that Yodlee's patents do not claim patent eligible subject matter. Yodlee filed Yodlee's answering brief to the motion to dismiss on February 20, 2015. Plaid filed its reply brief on March 6, 2015. At the outset of the litigation, the judge presiding over the litigation referred certain matters to be handled by the assigned magistrate judge, including discovery, case scheduling, and any motions to dismiss. Under the applicable procedural rules, the magistrate judge will issue a report and recommendation regarding Plaid's motion to dismiss. Either party may then file objections to the report and recommendations, and those objections will be reviewed by the judge presiding over the litigation. The magistrate judge held a hearing on May 4, 2015, to discuss the case schedule and to hear oral arguments on the motion to dismiss. At the conclusion of the May 4 hearing, the magistrate judge reserved judgment on the motion to dismiss, and entered a trial date of March 13, 2017. On May 18, 2015, Plaid filed a motion requesting that the Court stay all discovery while its decision on the motion to dismiss is pending. Discovery has been proceeding during the pendency of the motion to stay. On July 20, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued an opinion denying the motion to stay. As a result, discovery will continue to proceed while the motion to dismiss is pending.
Additionally, Yodlee, each of the members of the Yodlee Board, Envestnet and Merger Sub have been named as defendants in a putative class action challenging the merger in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Suman Inala v. Yodlee, Inc., et al. (Case No. 11461) (filed September 2, 2015). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Yodlee Board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to ensure that Yodlee stockholders received adequate and fair value for their shares. The complaint also alleges that Envestnet and Merger Sub have aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiff seeks as relief, among other things, an injunction against the merger, rescission of the merger agreement to the extent it is already implemented, an award of damages and attorneys' fees. Yodlee and the other defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit.
It is too early to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or whether an adverse result would have a material adverse impact on Yodlee's operations or financial position.

Yodlee's paid users increased from 10.7 million as of December 31, 2012, to 14.3 million as of December 31, 2013, to 18.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and to 20.7 million as of June 30, 2015.
Yodlee serves two main customer groups: FI and YI customers. Yodlee provides FI customers with access to the Yodlee Financial Cloud (Yodlee's platform and secure, open application programming interfaces, or APIs) and FinApps (end-user facing applications powered by Yodlee's platform and APIs). Yodlee's platform and APIs enable FI customers to receive end user-permissioned transaction data elements that Yodlee aggregates and cleanses, as well as to enable Yodlee's money movement solutions. The FinApps powered by Yodlee's platform and APIs can be subscribed to individually or in combinations that include personal financial management, wealth management, card, payments and small-medium business, or SMB, solutions. Yodlee's YI customers are Internet services companies and third-party developers, who use Yodlee's platform to develop new applications and enhance existing solutions. Yodlee's YI customers operate in a number of sub-vertical markets, including wealth management, personal financial management, small business accounting, small business lending and authentication. These customers use the Yodlee platform to build solutions that leverage Yodlee's open APIs and access to a large end user base. In addition to aggregated transaction-level account data elements, Yodlee provides YI customers with secure access to account verification, money movement and risk assessment tools via Yodlee's APIs. Yodlee plays a critical role in bringing innovation from Internet services companies to financial institutions through the Yodlee Financial Cloud. For example, Yodlee's YI customers use Yodlee's solutions in diverse applications such as: providing working capital to small businesses online; personalized financial management, planning and advisory services; ecommerce payment solutions; and online accounting systems for small businesses. Yodlee provides access to its solutions across multiple channels, including web, tablet and mobile.
Yodlee's FI customers encompass many of the leading financial institutions, including 11 of the 20 largest banks in the United States, which hold 81% of the total assets of the top 20 U.S. banks (based on total assets as of December 31, 2014). These institutions subscribe to the Yodlee platform to power offerings that Yodlee believes to improve consumer satisfaction and enhance engagement, while capturing cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. Yodlee estimates that Yodlee's current network of FI customers alone reaches more than 100 million end users as of December 31, 2014 and 20.7 million as of June 30, 2015, representing a significant opportunity to potentially grow Yodlee's paid user base within existing customers. Yodlee's YI customers have an increasingly large and diverse base of users that also provides additional potential growth opportunities.
The Yodlee Financial Cloud delivers a wide variety of FinApps and also enables its customers to develop their own applications through its open APIs that deliver trusted and secure data, money movement solutions, and other feature functionality. Yodlee's FinApps are targeted at the retail financial, wealth management, small business banking, card and other financial solutions sectors. These FinApps help consumers and small businesses simplify and manage their finances, review their financial accounts, track their spending, calculate their net worth, and perform a variety of other activities.
202
Examples of FinApps include Yodlee's Expense FinApp, which helps consumers track their spending, and a Payroll FinApp from a third party, which helps small businesses process their payroll.
Yodlee provides subscription services on a business-to-business-to-consumer, or B2B2C, basis to financial services clients, whereby Yodlee's customers offer Yodlee-based solutions to their customers, whom Yodlee refer to as end users. On a business-to-business, or B2B, basis Yodlee delivers the same platform to third-party developers.
Yodlee also offers data solutions and market research services that enhance the value of Yodlee's solutions to Yodlee's customers and provide insights derived from small, scrubbed, non-identified and dynamic samples from a massive population of end user-permissioned transaction-level data that Yodlee gathers and refines. Yodlee's platform collects a wide variety of end user data from over 14,000 sources and puts it in a common repository. Beyond collecting user-permissioned, non-identified transaction data elements, Yodlee's platform performs a data refining process and augments the data with additional information from a variety of other sources. Yodlee enriches the data with a proprietary twelve-step process, adding such elements as categorization and merchant identification for bank or credit card account data and investment holding identification for investment account data. With this enhanced data, Yodlee enables its customers to offer better applications and more personalized solutions to end users.
Yodlee believes that its brand leadership, innovative technology and intellectual property, large customer base, and unique data gathering and enrichment provide it with competitive advantages that have enabled it to generate strong growth.
Yodlee's solutions benefit its customers and their end users in a wide variety of ways. For both Yodlee's FI and YI customers, providing Yodlee-powered solutions improves their end user satisfaction and retention, accelerates speed to market, creates technology savings and enhances their data analytics solutions and market research capabilities. For Yodlee's customers' end users, Yodlee's solutions provide better access to their financial information and more control over their finances, leading to more informed and personalized decision making. For Yodlee's customers who are members of the developer community, Yodlee's solutions provide access to critical data and payments solutions, faster speed to market and enhanced distribution.
Yodlee's technology infrastructure is designed to provide a highly accessible and secure multi-tenant cloud-based platform across hundreds of customers and millions of end users. Yodlee's solutions use a single code base for all customers and are globally accessible across multiple digital channels. Yodlee's multi-tenancy model uses a common data model for all customers but isolates data with logical technical and administrative controls and separate encryption keys for each customer. Yodlee's architecture utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to achieve enhanced availability, scalability and security.
Yodlee believes a large addressable market and the need for innovative digital financial services give it the opportunity to grow considerably in the near term. Yodlee's growth strategy addresses two key drivers of Yodlee's business: number of paid users and revenue per paid user. As Yodlee looks to grow the number of paid users on Yodlee's platform, Yodlee intends to focus on increasing penetration within Yodlee's existing customer base, signing new customers, and expanding internationally. Yodlee also intends to drive additional revenue per paid user by introducing new solutions like data analytics solutions and market research services and by pursuing revenue-sharing opportunities from premium FinApps.
Yodlee's revenues were $50.6 million, $89.1 million, $70.2 million, and $57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. A substantial portion of Yodlee's revenues has been derived from contractually-recurring subscription revenues, and Yodlee's solutions are integrated into Yodlee's customers' business processes driving
203
strong customer retention. Yodlee's subscription revenue net retention rate, which Yodlee uses as a measure of Yodlee's ability to retain Yodlee's customers through renewals of subscription agreements and to expand the number of Yodlee's paid users, was 121%, 124%, 123%, and 114% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Yodlee generates revenues primarily from subscription fees and professional service fees. Subscription revenue has been a growing majority of Yodlee's revenues and accounted for 87%, 85%, 81%, and 77% of Yodlee's revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Factors Affecting Yodlee's Future Performance
Yodlee believes that its future success will be dependent on many factors, including its ability to expand relationships with existing customers, grow the number of customers and derive revenue from new offerings such as Yodlee's data solutions and market research services and premium FinApps. While these areas present significant opportunity, they also present risks that Yodlee must manage to ensure successful results.
Growth in Number of Customers Deploying the Yodlee Platform
The continued growth of Yodlee's business partially depends on its ability to secure new subscriptions and deployments of the Yodlee platform by new customers. Yodlee continues to target additional major FIs domestically and internationally to increase the number of paid users and Yodlee's subscription revenue. Yodlee also intend to drive growth with Internet services companies by participating in additional vertical markets and expanding the breadth of applications and solutions running on the Yodlee platform. Revenue from these types of companies has accounted for a growing proportion of Yodlee's total revenue in recent periods and Yodlee believes there is a significant opportunity to increase revenue from these companies in the future.
Renewals and Additional Revenue from Current Customers
The continued growth of Yodlee's business partially depends on its ability to maintain customer relationships, renew subscriptions from current customers and generate additional paid users and sources of revenue from existing customers. Yodlee's ability to increase adoption among existing customers is particularly important in light of Yodlee's land-and-expand business model, pursuant to which Yodlee targets customers with initial product offerings and expands the use cases and relationship over time. For example, an FI customer may initially subscribe to Yodlee data aggregation and later expand its relationship with it by licensing additional product offerings and FinApps. As Yodlee's existing customers increase their adoption and promotion of the functionality of Yodlee's solutions and deploy FinApps and additional value-added offerings to their end users, Yodlee anticipates that its number of paid users will increase.
Mix and Timing of Subscriptions and Deployments
Sales to large organizations have typically been characterized by longer sales cycles, significant contract negotiations and less predictability in completing sales. For example, Yodlee's sales cycle can generally last one year or more with Yodlee's largest FI customers, but is variable and difficult to predict and can be much longer or shorter. Many of Yodlee's YI customers and data analytics solutions and market research customers have shorter sales cycles of three to six months. In addition, FI customers and some large YI customers deploy Yodlee's solutions in six to nine months. In contrast, many other YI customers can implement Yodlee's applications and solutions in approximately three months and Yodlee's data analytics solutions and market research customers can begin using Yodlee's services shortly following contract execution. All of these factors impact the timing of revenue
204
recognition and have resulted in fluctuations in Yodlee's subscription revenue and overall operating results.
Growth of Data Solutions and Market Research Services
Yodlee has commenced deriving revenue by providing data analytics solutions and market research services. Yodlee believes there are significant opportunities to increase Yodlee's revenue and average revenue per paid user by providing these services to Yodlee's existing customers and to new customers for uses such as market analytics, credit and risk analytics and other use cases. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, revenue derived from data analytics solutions and marketing research services was a key factor in the increase of average revenue per paid user Yodlee realized. Yodlee anticipates that revenue from data analytics solutions and marketing research service will continue to be an important factor in its future financial results. Yodlee's future growth and profitability will also be affected by Yodlee's ability to generate higher average revenue per paid user through revenue-sharing arrangements with partners who develop premium FinApps. For example, Yodlee's enterprise API, an API set built for FIs to speed internal innovation, is designed to allow FIs to offer the same types of developer tools and integration capabilities previously only available to technology focused innovators. This is a product designed to allow the FIs to level the playing field against the Internet service companies currently disrupting the traditional models.
Operating Efficiencies and Investment
The cloud-based nature of the Yodlee platform provides it with economies of scale and operating leverage as the number of deployments and paid users grows. In addition, historically, Yodlee has enjoyed increasing operating efficiencies by leveraging Yodlee's significant presence in India, which provides it with direct access to a large pool of talented engineers for research and development, customer support and operations. Yodlee's gross margins have expanded in recent periods and Yodlee expects that they will continue to expand over the long term to the extent Yodlee is able to realize operating efficiencies.
To support Yodlee's future potential growth, Yodlee has made and expects to continue to make investments in Yodlee's data center and other infrastructure in connection with enhancing and expanding Yodlee's operations both domestically and internationally. For example, Yodlee expects to continue to invest in additional data center resources to keep pace with its potential growth. Yodlee believes that its investment in infrastructure will contribute to improvements in Yodlee's operating results in the long-term; however, this investment will require capital expenditures and may impact Yodlee's profitability in the near-term. In addition, Yodlee has continued to invest in research and development to improve and enhance the Yodlee platform and the breadth of applications and services running on the platform to meet Yodlee's customers' and potential customers' needs and to develop new offerings to more effectively realize the value of the transaction-level data that Yodlee gathers and refines. Yodlee also expects to continue to expand Yodlee's sales and marketing efforts domestically and increase awareness of Yodlee's solutions on a global basis and grow Yodlee's international operations. Yodlee also expects to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of its growth and the infrastructure required to be a public company. Investment in these areas will cause Yodlee's operating expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.
In addition to Yodlee's results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Yodlee believes the following non-GAAP and other operational measures are
205
useful in evaluating its operating performance. Yodlee regularly reviews the key metrics set forth below as Yodlee evaluates its business.

Yodlee defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss before income from discontinued operations; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; other (income) expense, net; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation expense and IP patent litigation costs. Yodlee believes adjusted EBITDA provides investors and other users of Yodlee's financial information consistency and comparability with Yodlee's past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations. Yodlee believes adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating Yodlee's operating performance compared to that of other companies in Yodlee's industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Yodlee use adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures as part of Yodlee's overall assessment of Yodlee's performance, including the preparation of Yodlee's annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of Yodlee's business strategies and to communicate with the Yodlee Board concerning Yodlee's financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 from $4.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 and from $(1.9) million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA from the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to increased headcount to support business growth during this period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to an increase in revenue from both existing and new customers. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to the reduction in Yodlee's net losses in the periods.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Yodlee understand that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including: depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, and the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Yodlee's working capital needs or contractual commitments; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes and the cash impact of other income or expense; and other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than Yodlee does. Yodlee compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of Yodlee's financial statements in
206
accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss. The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA:

A paid user is defined as a user of an application or service provided to Yodlee's customer using the Yodlee platform whose status corresponds to a billable activity under the associated customer contract. Yodlee believes that its ability to increase the number of paid users is an indicator of Yodlee's market penetration, the growth of Yodlee's business, and Yodlee's potential future business opportunities.
Paid users increased to 20.7 million as of June 30, 2015 from 18.4 million as of December 31, 2014, 14.3 million as of December 31, 2013, and 10.7 million as of December 31, 2012, as a result of an increase in the number of new customers as well as expansion of user base within certain existing customers.
Average revenue per paid user is defined as of any point in time as the trailing twelve-month subscription revenue divided by the average number of paid users over the same time period. For a given contract, as the number of paid users increases, Yodlee's usage fee per paid user generally decreases due to volume-tiered pricing. However, at the same time, Yodlee's cost of subscription revenue declines more rapidly on a per user basis, which contributes to an increase in Yodlee's gross margins. Yodlee's ability to maintain average revenue per paid user during the last year is an indicator of Yodlee's success in developing and monetizing expanded uses for the Yodlee platform, including data analytics solutions and market research services. In order to support average revenue per paid user, Yodlee intends to continue to develop additional applications and services, including data services and premium FinApps.
Average revenue per paid user increased to $4.57 as of June 30, 2015 from $4.53 as of June 30, 2014 due to revenue from new contracts and data analytics solutions and market research services, which more than offset the decrease in per user usage fees due to volume-tiered pricing.
Average revenue per paid user increased to $4.60 as of December 31, 2014 from $4.52 as of December 31, 2013, due to revenue derived from data solutions and market research services. This increase more than offset the decrease in per user fees resulting from volume-tiered pricing under Yodlee's customer contracts.
Average revenue per paid user increased to $4.52 as of December 31, 2013 from $4.38 as of December 31, 2012, due to data solutions and market research services. This increase more than offset the decrease in per user fees resulting from volume-tiered pricing under Yodlee's customer contracts. Yodlee's subscription gross margin further increased by an additional 5 percentage points to 66% for
207
the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to additional economies of scale realized on higher revenue and higher average revenue per paid user.
Subscription Revenue Net Retention Rate
Yodlee believes that its ability to retain customers through renewals of subscription agreements and expand the number of paid users of its applications and services is an indicator of the stability of Yodlee's recurring revenue base and the long-term value of Yodlee's customer relationships. Yodlee calculates its subscription revenue net retention rate for a particular period by dividing subscription revenue for the four most recent quarters by the subscription revenue for the corresponding quarters in the preceding year for those customers for which subscription revenue was recognized in the corresponding quarters of the preceding year. This calculation includes the impact on Yodlee's revenue from customer non-renewals and attrition, deployments of additional services or discontinued use of services by Yodlee's customers, price changes for Yodlee's services and increases or decreases in the number of paid users.
Yodlee's subscription revenue net retention rate was 121% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and had increased to 124% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 123% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 114% for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of increased revenues from Yodlee's existing customer base and, in particular, the increased maturity of Yodlee's YI customer base. Yodlee expects Yodlee's subscription revenue net retention rate to fluctuate from period to period based on renewals by, and the extent of additional deployments within, Yodlee's existing customers.
Components of Results of Operations
Yodlee derives its revenue primarily from subscription fees and professional services fees. Yodlee sells subscriptions to the Yodlee platform to Yodlee's FI and YI customers who make Yodlee's solutions available to their end users. Professional services include implementation services, upgrade services, development of interfaces requested by customers, assistance with integration of Yodlee's services with the customers' other applications, dedicated support, and advisory services to customers who choose to develop their own interfaces and applications.
Subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of customers, the number of paid users and the renewal of existing subscription contracts. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencing on the date the service is provided to the customer upon satisfaction of all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. As part of the subscription contracts, Yodlee's customers generally commit to a minimum level of paid users from which a minimum level of non-refundable subscription revenue is derived. As paid users in excess of the guaranteed minimum level access the Yodlee platform, the customer is then required to pay additional usage fees calculated based upon a contracted per-paid-user fee. No refunds or credits are given if fewer paid users access the Yodlee platform than the contracted minimum level. Usage-based revenue is recognized as earned, provided all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. For subscription agreements, Yodlee typically invoices Yodlee's customers in monthly or annual fixed installments. Amounts that have been invoiced are initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized ratably over the subscription period. Because the invoicing terms of Yodlee's customer agreements vary, the annualized value of the orders Yodlee enters into with its customers will not be completely reflected in deferred revenue at any single point in time. Accordingly, Yodlee does not believe that change in deferred revenue is an accurate indicator of future revenues for a given period of time. Customer contracts are generally non-cancellable for some specified period and, to the extent such contracts are cancelable before expiration of the term, they generally provide for payment
208
of certain penalties and/or minimums. Yodlee expects Yodlee's subscription revenue to increase as Yodlee adds new customers, expands Yodlee's paid user base and renews existing subscription contracts.
The proportion of Yodlee's revenue derived from customer minimum paid user commitments, together with favorable subscription revenue net retention rates, a measure of Yodlee's ability to retain its customers through renewals of subscription agreements and to expand the number of its paid users, have historically assisted it in predicting Yodlee's near-term revenues. As usage increases and customers are required to pay additional usage fees calculated on a per-paid-user basis, a more significant proportion of Yodlee's revenue over time may be derived from usage by paid users. This usage-based aspect of Yodlee's subscription contracts adds some volatility to Yodlee's revenue because end users' activities may vary from period to period based on a variety of factors outside of Yodlee's control, including personal financial and other circumstances affecting end user activity, seasonality and decisions by Yodlee's customers that affect the extent to which they promote Yodlee's solutions. Yodlee's experience with customers' growth and Yodlee's awareness of deployment and promotional plans help it forecast these usage-based revenues.
Professional services are sold either on a fixed-fee or on a time-and-materials basis. Revenue for time-and-material arrangements is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Yodlee expects its professional services and other revenue to fluctuate based on the number of new customers added and version upgrade work performed in any given period, and the presence of other companies who are able to implement Yodlee's services for customers.
Yodlee's total cost of revenue consists of cost of subscription revenue and cost of professional services and other revenue, both of which consist primarily of personnel-related costs for the operations team or professional services team, respectively, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation.
Cost of revenue-subscription also includes the following: data center costs to host the Yodlee platform and related support and maintenance costs; depreciation of servers and networking equipment; security operations; payment processing cost; and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. Yodlee expects its cost of subscription revenue to increase in absolute dollars, although it may fluctuate as a percentage of subscription revenue from period to period, as Yodlee's subscription revenue increases.
Cost of revenue-professional services and other also includes cost of consultants engaged in providing professional services to Yodlee's customers; and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. When Yodlee defers professional services revenue, Yodlee defers the related direct labor costs that Yodlee considers recoverable and recognize them in cost of revenue in the same periods as the related professional service revenue is recognized. Yodlee expects Yodlee's cost of professional services and other revenue to fluctuate in absolute dollars as Yodlee's professional services and other revenue fluctuates.
Gross profit is total revenue less total cost of revenue. Gross margin, or gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the sales price of Yodlee's product offerings, costs to deliver Yodlee's platform, Yodlee's ability to leverage Yodlee's existing infrastructure as Yodlee continue to grow and the mix of revenue between subscription and professional services and other. Yodlee's subscription services generally have a higher gross margin than Yodlee's professional services and other revenue. Gross margin for professional services and other is impacted by the size of customer deployments, with smaller projects typically
209
having lower gross margins. Yodlee expects Yodlee's gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on these and other factors.
Yodlee's operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expense. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist primarily of salaries, benefits, employee bonuses, stock-based compensation, and with regard to sales and marketing expense, sales commissions.
Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs for employees on Yodlee's engineering and technical teams who are responsible for increasing the functionality and enhancing the ease of use of the Yodlee platform and the development of new products and services. Research and development expense also includes the cost of third-party service providers and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. Yodlee expects research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as Yodlee continues to invest in Yodlee's future products and services, although Yodlee's research and development expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of sales commissions and other personnel costs for employees engaged in sales, sales support, business development and marketing functions. In addition, sales and marketing expense also includes travel-related expenses, marketing and public relations costs, and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. Yodlee expects sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars as Yodlee continues to hire additional personnel and invest in sales initiatives and marketing programs, although Yodlee's sales and marketing expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, professional services and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. General and administrative personnel include Yodlee's chief executive officer, finance and legal organizations. Professional services expense consists primarily of legal, auditing, accounting and other consulting costs. Yodlee expects general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars as Yodlee incur additional legal, accounting, investor relations, and other costs associated with being a public company, although Yodlee's general and administrative expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of the interest expense associated with Yodlee's bank borrowings, foreign exchange gains or loss, gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts, revaluation impact of convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities and other non-operating income or expense.
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in Yodlee's wholly-owned subsidiary in India and other foreign operations. The provision for income taxes related to Yodlee's foreign operations is impacted by items such as increases and decreases in uncertain tax positions in Yodlee's foreign locations, as well as foreign withholding taxes. These items, and their impact to Yodlee's effective tax rate, may fluctuate from year to year. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amount expected to be realized. Due to uncertainty as to the realization of benefits from Yodlee's U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry forwards, research and development and other tax credits, Yodlee has a full valuation allowance against such assets. Yodlee expects to maintain this full valuation allowance in the near term.

Average revenue per paid user increased to $4.60 for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $4.52 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of revenue from data solutions and marketing research services.

2013 compared to 2012. Other income (expense), net, decreased $0.5 million, from 2012 to 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from an insurance settlement in 2012 and the re-measurement of Yodlee's convertible preferred stock warrants.

2014 compared to 2013. Income tax expense increased $0.4 million. The increase in the provision for 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to increased foreign taxes resulting from the expansion of business operations in 2014.
2013 compared to 2012. Provision for (benefit from) income taxes increased $0.3 million. The increase in the provision for 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the inclusion of $0.2 million tax expense related to an uncertain tax position for permanent establishment in a foreign jurisdiction, changes in uncertain tax positions in Yodlee's foreign and domestic operations, as well as foreign withholding taxes.
From time to time, Yodlee may become subject to legal proceedings and claims with respect to such matters as patents and other actions arising out of the normal course of business, as well as other matters identified in "Legal Proceedings" appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
It is possible that other companies might pursue litigation with respect to any claims such companies purport to have against it. In addition, litigation may be necessary to protect and enforce Yodlee's intellectual property rights. The results of any litigation are inherently uncertain. Any such litigation could be very costly, could divert management attention and resources and may not be successful, even when Yodlee's rights have been infringed.
218
Given the uncertainties associated with litigation, if Yodlee's assessments prove to be wrong, or if additional information becomes available such that Yodlee estimate that there is a probable loss or probable range of loss associated with these contingencies, then Yodlee would record the minimum estimated liability, which could materially impact Yodlee's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Quarterly Results of Operations
The following tables presenting Yodlee's quarterly results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Yodlee has prepared the unaudited information on the same basis as Yodlee's audited consolidated financial statements. Yodlee's operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future quarters or for a full year.
The following table presents Yodlee's unaudited quarterly results of operations for the ten quarters ended June 30, 2015. This table includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that Yodlee consider necessary for fair presentation of Yodlee's consolidated financial position and operating results for the quarters presented.

Yodlee's quarterly subscription revenue has increased sequentially over the past ten quarters. The increases resulted primarily from growth in subscription revenue from new customers, upgrades and additional subscriptions from existing customers, and an increase in the number of paid users due to the launch and expansion of customers' applications. Yodlee's quarterly professional services and other revenue has fluctuated from quarter to quarter depending on the nature and extent of customer deployments. In addition, Yodlee's revenue has usually been the strongest during the last two quarters of the year due to the terms of existing customer contracts with certain of Yodlee's largest customers and associated revenue recognition, and timing of Yodlee's customers' deployment of Yodlee's solutions and associated professional services revenue.
Quarterly Cost and Expense Trends
Cost of revenue in absolute dollars varied from quarter-to-quarter in the quarters presented. However, cost of revenue generally increased over the periods presented primarily due to overall business growth and implementation and service related costs that Yodlee incur and recognize in the same periods as the related revenue.
Yodlee's operating expenses have increased in absolute dollars as it has continued to hire additional employees, introduce new marketing programs to increase brand awareness and incur additional costs in becoming a public company.
Yodlee's quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control, making its results of operations variable and difficult to predict. As such, Yodlee believes sequential quarterly comparisons of its results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2015, Yodlee had cash and cash equivalents of $71.4 million, all of which was held in the United States. Yodlee anticipates that the amount of its cash and cash equivalents held in India may increase in the future as funds are remitted to its Indian subsidiary for services performed under Yodlee's intercompany agreements.
Yodlee's cash and cash equivalents are comprised primarily of deposits with commercial banks in checking, interest-bearing and money market accounts. To date, Yodlee has satisfied its capital and liquidity needs through cash collections from its customers, private placements of convertible preferred stock, bank borrowings, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Yodlee has incurred significant losses in the past as it continued to expand its business. Yodlee's cash flow from operating activities will continue to be affected principally by the extent to which its revenue exceeds or does not exceed any increase in spending on personnel to support the growth of its business. Yodlee's largest source of operating cash flow is cash collections from its customers.
Yodlee believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, Yodlee may explore additional financing sources which could include equity, equity-linked and debt financing arrangements. Yodlee cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to it on acceptable terms or at all.

Yodlee's primary source of cash from operating activities has been from cash collections from its customers. Yodlee expects cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by the level of sales and timing of collections. Yodlee's primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel costs. Yodlee's cash flow from operations will continue to be affected principally by the extent to which Yodlee grows its revenue and increases its headcount in order to grow its business.
Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $2.4 million was driven by a net loss of $5.6 million as adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash expenses of $6.7 million and an increase in Yodlee's working capital of $3.5 million. Non-cash charges consist primarily of depreciation and amortization of Yodlee's property and equipment and stock-based compensation for stock options. The changes in Yodlee's working capital were due primarily to a decrease in accrued compensation of $2.7 million due to 2014 bonus payouts offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.0 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $1.2 million.
Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $1.0 million was driven by a net loss of $0.9 million as adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash expenses of $2.6 million and changes in Yodlee's working capital of $2.7 million. Non-cash charges consist primarily of depreciation and amortization of Yodlee's property and equipment and stock-based compensation for stock options. The changes in Yodlee's working capital were due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $1.7 million and prepaid expenses of $1.7 million.
Cash provided by operating activities in 2014 of $2.4 million was driven by a net loss of $7.0 million as adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash expenses of $10.9 million and changes in Yodlee's working capital of $1.5 million. Non-cash charges consist primarily of depreciation and amortization of Yodlee's property and equipment and stock-based compensation for stock options. The changes in Yodlee's working capital were due primarily to an increase in accrued compensation and accounts payable of $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as well as increases in accounts receivable and prepaid assets of $3.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of $0.7 million, and an increase in accrued liabilities and other long term liabilities of $0.2 million. The increase in accounts receivable resulted from the growth in Yodlee's business.
Cash provided by operating activities in 2013 of $3.5 million was driven by a net loss of $1.2 million as adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash expenses of $4.3 million and changes in Yodlee's working capital of $0.4 million. Non-cash charges consist primarily of depreciation and amortization of Yodlee's property and equipment and stock-based compensation for stock options. The changes in Yodlee's working capital were due primarily to an increase in accrued compensation of $2.9 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.2 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities and other long term liabilities of $0.6 million. The
221
increase in accrued compensation was due to the partial-payment of 2012 bonuses within the year ended December 31, 2012, whereas no such partial-payment of bonuses was made in the year ended December 31, 2013 for 2013 bonuses. The increase in accounts receivable resulted from the growth in Yodlee's business.
Cash used in operating activities in 2012 of $10.8 million was driven by a net loss of $6.5 million as adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash expenses of $3.3 million and changes in Yodlee's working capital of $7.6 million. Non-cash charges consist primarily of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. The changes in Yodlee's working capital were due primarily to a decrease in its deferred revenue of $4.0 million, a decrease in accrued compensation of $1.1 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $0.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $1.8 million. The decrease in deferred revenue was due to the recognition in 2012 of deferred professional services revenue upon completion of professional services engagements. The decrease in accrued compensation was due to the timing of bonus payments. The increase in accounts receivable resulted from the growth in Yodlee's business.
Yodlee's investing activities have consisted primarily of capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment, particularly purchases of servers, networking equipment and software licenses. Yodlee expects to continue investing in capital expenditures to support continued growth of its business.
Yodlee used $2.7 million, $2.5 million, $5.2 million, $3.0 million and $3.0 million for purchases of property and equipment in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014 and 2013, $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of additional purchases were financed through capital leases. In addition, Yodlee received proceeds of $0.1 million and $0.5 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, from an insurance settlement.
Yodlee's financing activities have consisted primarily of bank borrowings, net proceeds from the issuance of Yodlee common stock in its initial public offering and upon the exercise of stock options, and issuance of convertible preferred stock.
In the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 million, which consisted primarily of $4.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee common stock upon exercises of stock options offset by $0.9 million of tax payments related to stock-based award activities and $0.6 million of capital lease payments.
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million, which consisted primarily of $2.7 million of net bank borrowings, and $0.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee common stock upon exercise of stock options offset by $0.5 million of capital lease payments, $0.9 million of deferred offering costs, and $0.5 million repurchase of common stock.
In 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $68.2 million, which consisted of $74.5 million in net proceeds from Yodlee's initial public offering of common stock in October 2014 and $1.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee common stock upon the exercise of stock options, offset by $6.4 million of repayment on Yodlee's bank borrowings, $0.8 million of capital lease payments, and $0.5 million used towards the repurchase of common stock.
In 2013, cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million, which consisted of $1.5 million of net repayments on Yodlee's bank borrowings and $0.4 million of capital lease payments offset by $1.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee common stock upon the exercise of stock options.
222
In 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $12.6 million, which consisted primarily of $9.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee's convertible preferred stock, and $3.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of Yodlee common stock upon the exercise of stock options, offset by $0.4 million of net repayments on Yodlee's bank borrowings.
Yodlee sells subscriptions to Yodlee's solutions through contracts that are generally one to three years in length, although terms can extend to as long as five years. Yodlee's subscription agreements with Yodlee's customers generally contain scheduled minimum subscription fees, and usage-based fees which depend on the extent their customers or end users use Yodlee's platform. Yodlee considers the unpaid contractual minimum payments under Yodlee's subscription agreements to be Yodlee's backlog. Due to the inherent volatility of backlog measured using contractual minimums, and the fact that contractual minimums are becoming increasingly less important to Yodlee's business, Yodlee does not utilize backlog as a key management metric internally and Yodlee does not believe that it is a meaningful measurement of Yodlee's future revenues.
Yodlee expects that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of Yodlee's subscription agreements will change from year to year for several reasons, including the timing of contract renewals, the proportion of total subscription revenue represented by contractual minimum payments and the average non-cancellable terms of Yodlee's subscription agreements. The change in backlog that results from these events may not be an indicator of the likelihood of renewal or expected future revenues.
Yodlee also expects that as Yodlee's customer base continues to mature and customer deployments scale usage, renewals over time will increasingly have fewer contractual minimum fees because such fees are intended to decrease the timing risk associated with initial deployment commitments.
In addition, because revenue for any period is a function of revenue recognized from deferred revenue under contracts in existence at the beginning of the period, as well as contracts that are renewed and new customer contracts that are entered into during the period, backlog at the beginning of any period is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Yodlee did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

No amounts related to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740-10, Income Taxes, are included. As of December 31, 2014, Yodlee had approximately $2.9 million of tax liabilities recorded related to uncertainty in income tax positions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Yodlee's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, Yodlee evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or conditions could significantly affect Yodlee's financial condition and results of operations.
Yodlee believes that of its significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Yodlee's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies Yodlee believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Yodlee's consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Yodlee primarily derives its revenue from subscription fees and professional services fees. Yodlee sells subscriptions to the Yodlee platform through contracts that are generally between one to three years in length, although terms can extend to as long as five years. Yodlee's arrangements do not contain general rights of return. Yodlee's subscription contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the Yodlee platform and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts. Yodlee records revenue net of any sales or excise taxes.
224
Yodlee commences revenue recognition for the Yodlee platform and professional services when all of the following criteria are met:
Subscription revenue is primarily derived from customers accessing the Yodlee platform and includes subscription, support, and usage-based fees. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencing on the date the service is provisioned to the customer, provided the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Usage-based revenue is recognized as earned, provided the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Professional Services and Other Revenue
Professional services include implementation services, development of interfaces requested by customers, assistance with integration of Yodlee's solutions with the customers' applications, dedicated support, and advisory services to customers who choose to develop their own interfaces and applications. Professional services are typically performed within three to nine months of entering into an arrangement with the customer. Professional services are sold either on a fixed-fee or on a time-and-materials basis. Revenue for time-and-material arrangements is recognized as the services are performed. During the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue for fixed-fee arrangements was recognized under the completed performance method of accounting. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue for fixed-fee arrangements was recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting as Yodlee has developed a history of accurately estimating activity. The change from completed performance method of accounting to the proportional performance method of accounting was due to a change in underlying facts and circumstances, primarily due to increased management oversight and knowledge of plan project hours. Professional services are not considered essential to the functionality of the Yodlee platform.
Yodlee enters into multiple element arrangements in which a customer may purchase a subscription and professional services. For arrangements with multiple deliverables, Yodlee evaluates whether the individual deliverables qualify as separate units of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, Yodlee accounts for each deliverable separately and revenue is recognized for the respective deliverables as they are delivered. If one or more of the deliverables does not have standalone value upon delivery, the deliverables that do not have standalone value are combined with the final deliverable within the arrangement and treated as a single unit of accounting.
225
Subscription contracts have standalone value as Yodlee sells the subscriptions and support separately. In determining whether professional services can be accounted for separately from subscription services and support, Yodlee considers the availability of the professional services from other vendors, the nature of Yodlee's professional services and whether Yodlee sells its applications to new customers without professional services. Based on these considerations Yodlee assessed that its professional services have standalone value.
Yodlee determines the selling price for each element based on the selling price hierarchy of: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value, (ii) third-party evidence, or TPE, and (iii) estimated selling price or, ESP. Yodlee is unable to establish VSOE for any of Yodlee's services, as Yodlee has not historically priced Yodlee's services with sufficient consistency. Yodlee is also unable to establish TPE, as Yodlee does not have sufficient information regarding pricing of third-party subscription and professional services similar to Yodlee's offerings. As a result, Yodlee has developed estimates of selling prices based on margins Yodlee's senior management has established as the targets in the selling and pricing strategies after considering the nature of the services, the economic and competitive environment, and the nature and magnitude of the costs incurred. The amount of arrangement fee allocated is limited by contingent revenue, if any.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization. Yodlee tests goodwill for impairment at the company level, which is the sole reporting unit, on at least an annual basis and at any interim date whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
When assessing goodwill for impairment, Yodlee has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative goodwill test is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and any other company developments, that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not is less than the carrying amount, or if significant changes to macroeconomic factors have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test would be required. Additionally, there is an option to bypass the qualitative assessment and directly perform the quantitative test. The quantitative test for goodwill impairment is a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If this step indicates impairment, then the second step is performed to measure the loss as the excess of recorded goodwill over its implied fair value. Implied fair value is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of all identified assets and liabilities. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.
Yodlee examined goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. When assessing goodwill for impairment, Yodlee chose to bypass the qualitative assessment and directly perform the quantitative assessment. Yodlee compared the fair value of Yodlee's reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. The first step of the quantitative assessment indicated that the fair value of Yodlee's reporting unit was significantly higher than the carrying amount including goodwill, and hence Yodlee was not required to perform the second step. Yodlee's annual goodwill impairment test resulted in no impairment charges in any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
Yodlee accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718, which
226
requires the recognition of expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For stock options issued to employees and non-employees directors, Yodlee estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates, the value of the common stock and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, Yodlee recognizes stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. For awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, Yodlee recognizes stock-based compensation expense using the accelerated attribution method when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based payments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values, and are periodically revalued as the equity instruments vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and ASC Topic 505, Equity.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized by award type is as follows:

Prior to Yodlee's IPO, Yodlee was required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying its stock-based awards when performing the fair value calculations at each grant date. Yodlee engaged an independent third-party valuation firm to assist the Yodlee Board in determining the fair value of the common stock underlying Yodlee's stock-based awards. All options to purchase shares of Yodlee common stock have been granted with an exercise price per share no less than the fair value per share of Yodlee common stock underlying those options on the date of grant, based on the information known to it on the date of grant.
Yodlee accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Yodlee's financial statements or tax returns. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, Yodlee considers all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that Yodlee changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, Yodlee will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Estimates of future taxable income are based on assumptions that are consistent with Yodlee's plans. Assumptions represent management's best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of
227
management's judgment. Should actual amounts differ from Yodlee's estimates, the amount of Yodlee's tax expense and liabilities could be materially impacted.
Yodlee applies the authoritative accounting guidance prescribing a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Yodlee recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires it to estimate and measure the tax liability as the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
Significant judgment is also required in evaluating Yodlee's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. Although Yodlee believes its liabilities for uncertain tax positions are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in its historical income tax provisions and accruals. Yodlee adjusts these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences may impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument might change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. Yodlee does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative, hedging or trading purposes, other than as described below. Yodlee's market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as described below.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Yodlee did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Yodlee does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations. Yodlee continues to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. If Yodlee's costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, Yodlee may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Yodlee's inability or failure to do so could harm its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Yodlee has costs denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Indian Rupee. This exposes it to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and
228
in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar, would negatively affect Yodlee's expenses and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. Yodlee manages Yodlee's exposure to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee by entering into forward contracts to cover a portion of Yodlee's projected expenditures paid in local currency. These contracts generally have a term of less than 12 months.
The notional amount of Yodlee's forward contracts was $17.1 million, $12.9 million, $9.3 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
A sensitivity analysis performed on Yodlee's hedging portfolio indicated that a hypothetical 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar from its value at June 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 would decrease the fair value of Yodlee's foreign currency contracts by $1.6 million, $1.5 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its value at June 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 would increase the fair value of Yodlee's foreign currency contracts by $1.9 million, $1.8 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The consolidated financial statements of Envestnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (Envestnet) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, and management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 expresses an opinion that Envestnet did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 because of the effect of a material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states that controls were inadequately designed over the portion of revenues and cost of revenues of a business that was acquired in 2013, Wealth Management Solutions, that was not migrated to the Envestnet core technology platform in 2014, and the financial statement review process, including the review of manual journal entries, which has been identified and included in management's assessment.
The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 also contains an explanatory paragraph that states that Envestnet acquired Placemark Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (Placemark) during 2014, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, Placemark's internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $70,147,000 and total revenues of $6,157,000 included in the consolidated financial statements of Envestnet as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. The audit of internal control over financial
230
reporting of Envestnet also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Placemark.
The consolidated financial statements of Placemark as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in Exhibit 99.1 of Envestnet, Inc.'s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on December 5, 2014 have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent auditors, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The audit report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Placemark consolidated financial statements were restated and were previously audited by other auditors. The audit report also refers to the audit of an adjustment that was applied to restate accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements of Yodlee as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, included in this proxy statement/prospectus, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report appearing elsewhere herein, and included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Yodlee Board does not know of any matters that will be presented for consideration at the Yodlee special meeting other than as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. However, if any other matter shall properly come before either the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and shall be voted upon, the proposed proxies will be deemed to confer authority to the individuals named as authorized therein to vote the shares represented by the proxy as to any matters that fall within the purposes set forth in the notice of the Yodlee special meeting.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. As permitted by the Exchange Act, unless you advised otherwise, if you hold your shares in "street name" and you and other residents at your mailing address share the same last name and also own Envestnet common stock or shares of Yodlee common stock in an account at the same broker, bank or other nominee, your nominee delivered a single set of proxy materials to your address. This method of delivery is known as "householding." Householding reduces the number of mailings you receive, saves on printing and postage costs and helps the environment. Stockholders who participate in householding continue to receive separate voting instruction cards and control numbers for voting electronically. A holder of shares of Yodlee common stock who wishes to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, now or in the future, should submit this request by writing to Innisfree M&A Incorporated at 501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive a single copy of these materials in the future should contact their broker, bank or other nominee to make this request.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF YODLEE, INC.
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Yodlee, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yodlee, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Yodlee, Inc. at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Yodlee, Inc. ("Yodlee" or the "Company") is a technology and applications platform powering digital financial services in the cloud. The Company refers to its platform as the Yodlee Financial Cloud. The Yodlee Financial Cloud delivers a wide variety of financial applications ("FinApps") targeted at the retail financial, wealth management, small business, card and other financial solutions sectors. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in February 1999 and is headquartered in Redwood City, California. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in India, Canada, and Australia.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of Yodlee and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
On October 8, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") in which it issued and sold 6.25 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $65.87 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5.25 million and issuance costs of $3.9 million. Part of the IPO proceeds was used by us to repay the outstanding balance under our credit facility. On October 27, 2014, we received net proceeds of $8.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.6 million, for the exercise by underwriters of their option to purchase 760,724 shares of our common stock.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Company's IPO, all 113,457 convertible preferred stock warrants were automatically converted into common stock warrants to purchase shares of common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2014, shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of these common stock warrants. Additionally, all shares of the Company's then-outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 14.4 million shares of common stock.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of the Company's common stock and stock options issued, provision for income taxes and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Company primarily derives revenue from subscription fees and professional services fees. The Company sells subscriptions to its SaaS technology platform through contracts that are generally between one to three years in length, although terms can extend to as long as five years. The Company's arrangements do not contain general rights of return. The Company's subscription arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the SaaS technology platform and, as a result, are accounted for as service arrangements. The Company records revenue net of any sales or excise taxes.
The Company commences revenue recognition for its SaaS technology platform and professional services when all of the following criteria are met:
Subscription revenue is primarily derived from customers accessing the SaaS technology platform and includes subscription, support, and usage-based fees. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencing on the date the service is provisioned to the customer, provided the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Usage-based revenue is recognized as earned, provided the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Professional Services and Other Revenue
Professional services include implementation services, development of interfaces requested by customers, assistance with integration of the Company's services with the customers' applications, dedicated support, and advisory services to customers who choose to develop their own interfaces and applications. Professional services are typically performed within three to nine months of entering into an arrangement with the customer. Professional services are sold either on a fixed-fee or on a time-and-materials basis. Revenue for time-and-material arrangements is recognized as the services are performed. During the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue for fixed-fee arrangements was recognized under the completed performance method of accounting. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue for fixed-fee arrangements was recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting as the Company has developed a history of accurately estimating activity. The Company uses labor hours incurred to the end of each reporting period compared to the total estimated labor hours as an input based measure of performance under customer arrangements. The Company believes labor hours incurred is materially representative of the value delivered to the customer at any point in time during the performance of the service. Professional services are not considered essential to the functionality of the SaaS offering.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Included in other revenue, the Company recognized software license revenue on a straight-line basis from the acceptance date over the contractual post-sale customer support ("PCS") period, as the Company did not have sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the PCS.
The Company enters into multiple element arrangements in which a customer may purchase a subscription and professional services. For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company evaluates whether the individual deliverables qualify as separate units of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple element arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately and revenue is recognized for the respective deliverables as they are delivered. If one or more of the deliverables does not have standalone value upon delivery, the deliverables that do not have standalone value are combined with the final deliverable within the arrangement and treated as a single unit of accounting.
Subscription contracts have standalone value as the Company sells subscriptions separately. In determining whether professional services can be accounted for separately from subscription services, the Company considers the availability of the professional services from other vendors, the nature of its professional services and whether the Company sells its applications to new customers without professional services. Based on these considerations the Company assessed that its professional services have standalone value.
The Company determines the selling price for each element based on the selling price hierarchy of: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value, (ii) third-party evidence ("TPE"), and (iii) estimated selling price ("ESP"). The Company is unable to establish VSOE for any of its services, as the Company has not historically priced its services with sufficient consistency. The Company is also unable to establish TPE, as the Company does not have sufficient information regarding pricing of third-party subscription and professional services similar to its offerings. As a result, the Company has developed estimates of selling prices based on margins established by senior management as the targets in the Company's selling and pricing strategies after considering the nature of the services, the economic and competitive environment, and the nature and magnitude of the costs incurred. The amount of arrangement fee allocated is limited by contingent revenue, if any.
Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the Company's subscription offerings as described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. For subscription agreements, the Company typically invoices its customers in monthly or annual fixed installments. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of these multi-year subscription agreements. Deferred revenue also includes certain deferred professional services fees, which are recognized in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy. The portion of deferred revenue the Company expects to recognize during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Cost of revenue-subscription consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, for the operations team; data center costs to host the SaaS technology platform and related support and maintenance costs; depreciation of servers and networking equipment; security operations; payment processing cost; and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs.
Cost of revenue-professional services and other consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, for the professional services team; cost of consultants engaged in providing professional services to customers; and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs.
Deferred Professional Services Costs and Commissions
Deferred professional services costs are related to deferred professional services revenue that the Company considers recoverable and are recognized in cost of revenue in the same periods as the related revenue.
Deferred commissions are the incremental costs that are directly associated with noncancelable subscription contracts and consist of sales commissions paid to direct sales representatives. The commissions are deferred and amortized over the related subscription term. The commission payments are typically paid in full the month after the customer's service commences. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable from the future revenue streams under the noncancelable subscription contracts.
Deferred professional services and deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred professional services and deferred commissions are included in cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The professional services costs are charged to expense over the same period that the related subscription or professional services revenue is recognized. The commission costs are charged to expense over the same period that the subscription revenue is recognized.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company capitalized $1.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of commissions and amortized $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to sales and marketing expense. During the year ended December 31, 2014, no deferred professional service fees were capitalized or amortized. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company capitalized $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of deferred professional services costs and amortized $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to cost of revenue-professional services and other.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts on deposit with commercial banks in checking, interest-bearing, and demand money market accounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
As required by the lease agreement for the Company's main facilities in Redwood City, California, the Company provided a certificate of deposit as collateral for a letter of credit issued for the benefit of the landlord in lieu of a security deposit. The letter of credit expires on July 31, 2022. The restricted certificate of deposit of $0.1 million is included in long-term restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has restrictions as to the withdrawal or usage of its restricted cash until the completion of the contract term.
The Company leases office spaces under noncancelable operating leases. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a monthly basis. Certain operating lease arrangements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and accrues for rent expense incurred but not yet paid. The Company does not assume renewals in its determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured at lease inception.
The Company acquired certain software licenses and server and network equipment classified as capital leases. The Company's server and networking equipment leases typically are accounted for as capital leases as they meet one or more of the four capital lease classification criteria. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over their estimated useful life of three years. The original term of the capital leases ranges from three to four years. The portion of the future payments designated as principal repayment was classified as a capital lease obligation on the consolidated balance sheets.
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis and is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets or the term of the lease.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the Company level, which is the sole reporting unit, on at least an annual basis and at any interim date whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative goodwill test is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and any other Company developments, that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not is less than the carrying amount, or if significant changes to macroeconomic factors have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test would be required. Additionally, there is an option to bypass the qualitative assessment and directly perform the quantitative test.

Yodlee, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The quantitative test for goodwill impairment is a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If this step indicates impairment, then the second step is performed to measure the loss as the excess of recorded goodwill over its implied fair value. Implied fair value is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of all identified assets and liabilities.
The Company has goodwill of $3.1 million reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Goodwill is examined for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company completed the annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2014. When assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company chose to bypass the qualitative assessment and directly perform the quantitative assessment. The fair value of the reporting unit, at Company level, was compared with its carrying amount including goodwill. The first step of quantitative assessment indicated that the fair value of the Company's reporting unit was significantly higher than the carrying amount including goodwill, and hence the second step was not required to be performed. As of December 31, 2014, no impairment of goodwill has been identified.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company identifies and records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired and when projected undiscounted cash flows from those assets are less than the carrying amounts of the assets. If those conditions are present, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. No significant impairment charges to long-lived assets were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for research and development staff, the cost of third-party service providers, allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs.
For website development costs and the development costs related to the SaaS technology platform, the Company's policy is to capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage, if material. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.
While most of the Company's customer arrangements are delivered to customers on the Company's SaaS technology platform, whereby the customers do not have the ability to take possession of the software, customers could, and on occasion have, negotiated to purchase licenses to the Company's products that would not involve hosting by the Company. Accordingly, when determining which software development costs to capitalize, the Company follows the guidance for cost of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. The Company begins to capitalize software development costs upon the establishment of technological feasibility, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has been certified as having no critical bugs and is available to be purchased by the customers. To date, software development costs incurred between completion of a working prototype and general availability of the related product have not been material and are expensed as incurred.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Company considers operating segments to be components of Yodlee in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity, and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results, or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718, which requires the recognition of expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For stock options issued to employees and non-employees directors, the grant date fair value of each option is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates, the value of the common stock and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, stock-based compensation expense is recorded, net of estimated forfeitures, equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. For awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based payments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values, and are periodically revalued as the equity instruments vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and ASC Topic 505, Equity.
During 2013, the Company granted restricted stock units (RSUs) which vest upon the satisfaction of both a performance condition and a service condition. The performance condition includes, among other alternatives, the completion of our IPO which was satisfied on October 8, 2014. The service condition for the awards is satisfied if the RSU holder continues to be a service provider six months subsequent to our IPO, and the awards vest quarterly over 21/2 years from that date.
During 2014, the Company granted RSUs which vest upon the satisfaction of both a performance condition and a service condition. The performance condition includes, among other alternatives, the completion of our IPO which was satisfied on October 8, 2014. The service condition for the awards is satisfied if the RSU holder continues to be a service provider through the applicable annual vesting dates. RSUs for which the service condition or performance condition has not been satisfied are forfeited. Share-based compensation expense related to these grants is based on the grant date fair value of the RSUs and is recognized based on the accelerated attribution method over the applicable

service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is determined by the estimated fair value of Company's common stock at the time of grant.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $3.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs. The performance condition for the RSUs was satisfied upon completion of the IPO, therefore the Company recorded a significant cumulative stock-based compensation expense for these RSUs in the quarter in which the IPO occurred, using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures. The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs will be recorded over the remaining requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures.
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement carrying amounts, and consideration is given to operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company estimates actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differences for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes for certain items, such as accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in the consolidated statements of operations become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws or when net operating loss or credit carryforwards are utilized. Accordingly, realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions, losses, and credits can be utilized.
The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it establishes a valuation allowance.
The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions on a regular basis. Evaluations are based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.
The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance

sheet date. Income and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") in stockholders' equity (deficit) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company is also subject to gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions and the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts, both of which are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes of the Indian Rupee on certain forecasted operating expenses and on certain existing assets and liabilities.
The contracts typically mature within 12 months, and they are not held for trading purposes. The Company may designate certain of its foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments subject to hedge accounting treatment. The Company records all of its derivative instruments at their gross fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, at each balance sheet date.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the instrument has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. For foreign currency forward contracts that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity/(deficit) and reclassified into operating expenses and cost of revenue in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. The changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Gains and losses related to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recognized in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company classifies its cash flows from the derivative instruments as operating activities.
Credit Risk and Significant Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and derivative instruments to the extent of the amounts recorded as an asset on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For cash equivalents, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution, and deposits may exceed federally insured limits. For accounts receivable, the Company does not require collateral, but instead limits its exposure to credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and by limiting the amount of credit extended whenever deemed necessary. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign currency risks. Derivatives expose the

Company to credit risk to the extent the counterparty may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. The Company seeks to minimize such risk by limiting the counterparty to those with high credit ratings. The Company has not historically experienced any losses due to credit risk or lack of performance by counterparties.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, one customer (a related party) accounted for 14% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2013, two customers accounted for 15% (a related party) and 11% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2012, one customer, a related party, accounted for 18% of total revenue.
As of December 31, 2014, one customer, a related party, accounted for 20% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2013, one customer, a related party, accounted for 17% of total accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, and are not interest bearing. Accounts receivable includes both billed and unbilled amounts due from customers. Unbilled receivables represent accrued revenue earned and recognized on contracts for which billings have not yet been presented to the customer. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, trade accounts receivable included unbilled receivables of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. The Company does not require collateral from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined using the specific-identification method for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible receivables are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all efforts to collect them have been exhausted, and recoveries are recorded as a decrease to the bad debt expense when they are received. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required and the Company's operating results and financial position could be adversely affected.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses were not significant during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
Freestanding Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants
The Company accounted for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of convertible preferred stock that were contingently redeemable as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value because the Company may be obligated to redeem the preferred stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants at some point in the future. At the end of each reporting period, changes in the estimated fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrants during the period were recorded through other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company continued to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the Company's IPO in October 2014 when the convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock. Upon conversion, the convertible preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, and convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level IInputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level IIInputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level IIIUnobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update requiring an entity to release into net income the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment related to its investment in a foreign entity when as a parent it either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This accounting standard update will be effective prospectively for the Company beginning in the fiscal year 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue from contracts with customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In June 2014, the FASB issued new accounting standard update on stock-based compensation when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be
F-18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this new accounting standard update is expected to have no impact to the Company's financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued new accounting standard update which requires management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new guidance, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.
In January 2015, the FASB eliminated the concept of extraordinary items (Subtopic 225-20) as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). This amendment aims to save time and reduce costs for preparers because they will not have to assess whether a particular event or transaction event is extraordinary (even if they ultimately would conclude it is not). This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.

forward points and the executed contract rate. For further details on the Company's derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 3.
Level III liabilities consist of convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities, which are measured using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

7. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Under the indemnification provisions of its standard sales contracts, the Company agrees to defend its customers against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, and to indemnify its customers for certain losses resulting from such claims. In addition, the Company also agrees to indemnify its customers against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against them if its applications are found to result in a security breach in certain circumstances. The exposure to the Company under these indemnification provisions could potentially expose it to losses in excess of the amount received under the agreement. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, there have been no material claims under such indemnification provisions, and no liability related to these indemnification agreements has been recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment, and other matters. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosures. The Company believes that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as of December 31, 2014. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
8. Bank Borrowings and Extinguishment of Debt
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has repaid all amounts outstanding related to all bank borrowings using proceeds from the IPO. Bank borrowings consist of the following as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

8. Bank Borrowings and Extinguishment of Debt (Continued)
In 2005, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, as amended, with a lender. The agreement, as amended, provides for borrowings up to $15.0 million in revolving loans subject to a borrowing base of trailing three months subscription revenue. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% per annum (prime rate was 3.25% per annum as of December 31, 2014 and 2013). The drawdown on the revolving line of credit can be made until March 2015 and must be repaid on or before March 2015. As of December 31, 2014, no amounts were outstanding on the revolving loans and up to $15.0 million was available for drawdown, subject to borrowing base limitations.
The agreement also provided an equipment financing facility for the purchase of equipment through March 31, 2011, with a repayment period of 36 months from the date of advance. The equipment financing facility is nonrevolving, and repaid equipment advances may not be reborrowed. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the interest rate for borrowings under the facility was 5.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2014, the facility has been repaid in full and no amount remains available to be borrowed. As of December 31, 2013, $0.1 million was outstanding.
In July 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility with the same lender to borrow $3.0 million term loans with a repayment period of 36 months including interest and principal. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.5% per annum. In August 2013, the Company entered into another amendment to its credit facility with the same lender to borrow an additional $3.0 million in term loans with a repayment period of 42 months including interest only payments for the first six months and equal monthly payments including principal and interest for the next 36 months. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum. As of December 31, 2014, the term loans have been repaid in full. As of December 31, 2013, $4.6 million was outstanding on the term loans.
9. Net Loss per Share
On September 18, 2014, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of all outstanding shares, including common stock and convertible preferred stock. Any fractional shares of common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options, RSUs and preferred stock warrants resulting from the reverse stock split were settled in cash equal to the fraction of a share, option, RSU or warrant of which the holder was entitled. All information related to common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options, RSUs, preferred stock warrants and per share information presented in the consolidated financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented and all share information is rounded down to the nearest whole share after reflecting the reverse stock split.
The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of the Company's convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders of the preferred stock were entitled to receive a noncumulative dividend on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock. The holders of all series of convertible preferred stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. As such, the Company's net losses for the years ended December 2014, 2013 and 2012, were not allocated to these participating securities.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing total net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. The weighted-average common shares outstanding is adjusted for shares subject to repurchase.

9. Net Loss per Share (Continued)
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding including potential dilutive common stock instruments. In the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company's potential common stock instruments such as stock options, RSUs, shares of preferred stock and the preferred stock warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts).

10. Stock Warrants
The Company issued 113,457 warrants to purchase shares of convertible preferred stock at various times between the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2010, in connection with various financing arrangements. Immediately prior to the closing of the Company's IPO on October 3, 2014, all 113,457 convertible preferred stock warrants were automatically converted into common stock warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The fair value of the common stock warrants as of October 3, 2014, estimated to be $0.7 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was reclassified to additional paid in capital. The Company determined the fair value of the common stock warrants at October 3, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

12. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
On September 18, 2014, the Company's board of directors and stockholders approved an increase to the authorized common stock to 150,000,000 shares and authorized 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock which became effective in connection with the completion of the IPO of the Company's common stock on October 3, 2014. In addition, in accordance with the conversion rights of preferred stock, the holders of preferred stock elected to automatically convert the preferred stock to common stock. The conversion subsequently became effective immediately prior to the effective date of the Company's IPO.
On September 18, 2014, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"), which became effective upon the IPO of the Company's common stock on October 3, 2014. At the time of completion of the IPO, any shares of common stock reserved for issuance and any shares of common stock which are forfeited, cancelled or terminated, other than by exercise, under the 2009 Plan became available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. The 2009 Plan was canceled and the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2014 Plan from the 2009 Plan was 5,800,000 shares, subject to annual increases under such plan.
Prior to the 2014 Plan, the equity incentive plans consisted of the 1999 Stock Plan (the 1999 Plan), 2001 Stock Plan (the 2001 Plan) and 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan). The 1999 Plan expired during the year ended December 31, 2009, and the 2001 Plan expired during the year ended December 31, 2011, and further stock option grants cannot be made from these plans. Upon expiration of the 1999 Plan, the Company adopted the 2009 Plan. The remaining shares available for grant under the 1999 Plan were transferred to the 2009 Plan. Upon expiration of the 2001 Plan, remaining shares available for grant under 2001 Plan were cancelled. The 2009 Plan provided for the issuance of stock options, RSUs, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards.
Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan vest over the periods determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years, and expire no more than ten years after the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee, who at the time of grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair value per share on the date of grant, and expire five years from the date of

grant, and for options granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair value per share on the date of grant. Stock options become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the board of directors. RSUs, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards are granted under such conditions as determined by the board of directors.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was authorized to grant up to 7,873,253 and 5,024,976 shares, respectively, under equity incentive plans.
On September 18, 2014, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2014 ESPP"). A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2014 ESPP. As of December 31, 2014, no purchase has been made pursuant to the 2014 ESPP and 500,000 shares remain available for future issuance. There has been no stock-based compensation expense recorded as of December 31, 2014 related to the ESPP.
Determining the Fair Values of Stock Options
The per-share weighted-average fair value of the options granted to employees and non-employees was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $162.0 million and $90.1 million to offset federal and state future taxable income, respectively. Of these amounts, $4.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, represent federal and state tax deductions from stock-based compensation, which will be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital when they reduce taxes payable. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2019 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the Company has federal research tax credits of $3.1 million and state research tax credits of $4.4 million. The federal research tax credits will expire beginning in 2022. The state credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

16. Income Taxes (Continued)
Utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards is subject to substantial annual limitations due to ownership change limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating losses before utilization. The Company believes a change of control occurred in August 2002, as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC, which resulted in a forfeiture of a significant portion of the Company's net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets related to these tax attributes have been reduced accordingly.
The tax benefit of operating losses, temporary differences, and credit carryforwards is recorded as a deferred tax asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is "more likely than not." Realization of the future tax benefit is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company's history of domestic losses, management believes that recognition of its federal and state deferred tax assets arising from the above mentioned tax benefit is not currently more likely than not to be realized, and accordingly, the Company's domestic deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
The Company has not provided U.S. income tax on certain foreign earnings that are deemed to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amount of accumulated unremitted earnings from the Company's foreign subsidiaries is approximately $5.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the unrecognized tax benefit during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that would affect the Company's effective tax rate is $1.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The amount accrued as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 for interest and penalties was $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The amount of interest and penalties that the Company recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.
The Company's tax jurisdictions are the United States, various state jurisdictions, India, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. The tax years 1999 through 2014 remain open and subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies in the U.S. due to tax attribute carryforwards and the tax years 2005 through 2014 remain open to examination in various foreign jurisdictions.

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Yodlee, Inc. ("Yodlee" or the "Company") is a technology and applications platform powering digital financial services in the cloud. The Company refers to its platform as the Yodlee Financial Cloud. The Yodlee Financial Cloud delivers a wide variety of financial applications ("FinApps") targeted at the retail financial, wealth management, small business, card and other financial solutions sectors. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in February 1999 and is headquartered in Redwood City, California. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in India, Canada and Australia.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yodlee and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect, in management's opinion, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update on revenue from contracts with customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend the new standard by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. As a result, the new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update on stock-based compensation when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this new accounting standard update is expected to have no impact to the Company's financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update which requires management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new guidance, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.
In January 2015, the FASB eliminated the concept of extraordinary items (Subtopic 225-20) as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). This amendment aims to save time and reduce costs for preparers because they will not have to assess whether a particular event or transaction event is extraordinary (even if they ultimately would conclude it is not). The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on consolidation which addressed the current accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The new guidance places more emphasis in the consolidation evaluation on variable interests other than fee arrangements such as principal investment risk, guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of variable interest entities ("VIEs"), written put options on the assets of VIEs, or similar obligations, including some liquidity commitments or agreements (explicit or implicit). Additionally, the amendments in this update reduce the extent to which related party arrangements cause an entity to be considered a primary beneficiary. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and may be retrospectively applied using a simple or modified approach, recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on intangibles, goodwill and other internal use software which addressed the lack of guidance about a customer's accounting for fees in a cloud computing arrangement. The new guidance requires that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and can be applied either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and, at this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.
2. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents and foreign currency forward exchange contracts at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
IInputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
IIInputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
IIIUnobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

2. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis requiring Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
There were no transfers of financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, between Level I, Level II, and Level III during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes of the Indian Rupee on certain forecasted operating expenses and on certain existing assets and liabilities.
The contracts typically mature within 12 months, and they are not held for trading purposes. The Company may designate certain of its foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments subject to hedge accounting treatment. The Company records all of its derivative instruments at their gross fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, at each balance sheet date.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the instrument has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. For foreign currency forward contracts that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") in stockholders' deficit and reclassified into operating expenses and cost of revenue in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. The changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Gains and losses related to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recognized in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company classifies its cash flows from the derivative instruments as operating activities.
Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification on the consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

Under the indemnification provisions of its standard sales contracts, the Company agrees to defend its customers against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, and to indemnify its customers for certain losses resulting from such claims. In addition, the Company also agrees to indemnify its customers against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against them if its applications are found to result in a security breach in certain circumstances. The exposure to the Company under these indemnification provisions could potentially expose it to losses in excess of the amount received under the agreement. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, there have been no material claims under such indemnification provisions, and no liability related to these indemnification agreements has been recorded as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment, and other matters. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosures. The Company believes that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as of June 30, 2015. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
On December 2, 2014, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Plaid Technologies Inc. ("Plaid") has and is continuing to infringe on seven of the Company's U.S. patents. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, enhanced

damages, interest, fees, expenses, costs and injunctive relief against Plaid. On January 23, 2015, in lieu of filing an answer to the complaint, Plaid filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that the Company's patents do not claim patent eligible subject matter. The Company filed its answering brief to the motion to dismiss on February 20, 2015. Plaid filed its reply brief on March 6, 2015. At the outset of the litigation, the judge presiding over the litigation referred certain matters to be handled by the assigned magistrate judge, including discovery, case scheduling, and any motions to dismiss. Under the applicable procedural rules, the magistrate judge will issue a report and recommendation regarding Plaid's motion to dismiss. Either party may then file objections to the report and recommendations, and those objections will be reviewed by the judge presiding over the litigation. The magistrate judge held a hearing on May 4, 2015, to discuss the case schedule and to hear oral arguments on the motion to dismiss. At the conclusion of the May 4 hearing, the magistrate judge reserved judgement on the motion to dismiss, and entered a trial date of March 13, 2017. On May 18, 2015, Plaid filed a motion requesting that the Court stay all discovery while its decision on the motion to dismiss is pending. Discovery has been proceeding during the pendency of the motion to stay. On July 20, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued an opinion denying the motion to stay. As a result, discovery will continue to proceed while the motion to dismiss is pending. It is too early to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or whether an adverse result would have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations or financial position.
7. Bank Borrowings and Extinguishment of Debt
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has repaid all amounts outstanding related to all bank borrowings using proceeds from the initial public offering ("IPO").
On March 17, 2015, the term of the Company's revolving line of credit expired and was not renewed.
8. Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of the Company's convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive a noncumulative dividend on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock. The holders of all series of convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. As such, the Company's net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were not allocated to these participating securities.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing total net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. The weighted-average common shares outstanding is adjusted for shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding including potential dilutive common stock instruments. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company's potential common stock instruments such as stock options, RSUs, shares of preferred stock and the preferred stock warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

9. Stockholders' Equity
The Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") provides for the award of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, performance shares, and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The 2014 Plan became effective upon the IPO of the Company's common stock on October 3, 2014. At the time of completion of the IPO, any shares of common stock reserved for issuance and any shares of common stock which are forfeited, cancelled or terminated, other than by exercise, under the 2009 Plan became available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. The 2009 Plan was canceled and the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2014 Plan from the 2009 Plan was 7,263,193 shares, subject to annual increases under such plan.

9. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)
Stock options granted under the 2014 Plan vest over the periods determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years, and expire no more than ten years after the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee, who at the time of grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair value per share on the date of grant, and expire five years from the date of grant, and for options granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair value per share on the date of grant. Stock options become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the board of directors. RSUs, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards are granted under such conditions as determined by the board of directors.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company was authorized to grant up to 1,757,027 shares under the equity incentive plans.
On September 18, 2014, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2014 ESPP"). A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2014 ESPP subject to annual increases under such plan. As of June 30, 2015, no purchase has been made pursuant to the 2014 ESPP and 792,638 shares remain available for future issuance. There has been no stock-based compensation expense recorded as of June 30, 2015 related to the ESPP.
Determining the Fair Values of Stock Options
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model for valuing its stock options. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $5.83 and $4.98 per share, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $5.32 and $4.98 per share, respectively.

Repurchases associated with tax withholdings were $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and zero dollars during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

The Company did not recognize any stock compensation expense related to RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 because the completion of the Company's IPO had not occurred and was not probable of occurrence as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to RSUs was $14.5 million, and was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period vesting period of 3.1 years.
10. Common Stock Reserved For Future Issuance
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 8,509,700 and 7,873,253 common shares reserved for future issuance under the Company's equity incentive plan.

11. Related-Party Transactions (Continued)
The Company recorded revenue of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, from other related parties during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $1.2 million and $0.5 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total accounts receivable from other related parties as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
12. Income Taxes
The provision for income tax was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign income taxes.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the provision for income taxes differed from the statutory amount primarily due to foreign taxes currently payable, and because the Company realized no benefit for losses which could not be benefited due to maintaining a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets.
The realization of tax benefits of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate character, in the periods the items are expected to be deductible or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that all the net deferred tax assets will be realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the domestic deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company intends to maintain the full valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.

14. Subsequent Events
On August 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Envestnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Yale Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of the Company by Parent by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent will acquire all of the shares of the Company in a cash and stock transaction valued at $18.88 per share, or approximately $660 million on a fully-diluted equity value basis. The consideration consists of $10.78 per share in cash and the number of validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") determined by dividing $8.10 by the volume weighted average price per share of Parent Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day prior to completion of the Merger, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
Consummation of the Merger, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015, is subject to customary closing conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's shareholders, listing of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the New York Stock Exchange, absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination provisions and provides that, upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay the Parent a termination fee of approximately $17.8 million.

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their stockholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for herein, pursuant to which Merger Sub will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), so that the Company is the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to in such capacity as the "Surviving Corporation") in the Merger;
WHEREAS, as an inducement to and condition of Parent's willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the entry of the parties into this Agreement, funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus are entering into a voting agreement with Parent; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company. The Company shall be the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and, except as set forth in this Article I, shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware unaffected by the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.
1.2 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of Mayer Brown LLP, on a date which shall be no later than three (3) business days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject at Closing to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or at such other time and place as is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date."
1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Secretary") a certificate of merger in customary form and substance and complying will the DGCL (the "Certificate of Merger"), and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective as of the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger or, if a specific date and time is mutually agreed between the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger, as of such specified date and time (such date and time, the "Effective Time").
1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
1.5 Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any of the following securities:
(a)
(i) Each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Company Common Stock"), except for Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub), shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive, without interest (A) $10.78 in cash (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") determined by dividing (1) $8.10 by (2) the Parent Stock Value (such number of shares, the "Per Share Stock Consideration") (the consideration described in clauses (i) and (ii), the "Merger Consideration"). For purposes of this Agreement, the "Parent Stock Value" shall be equal to the volume weighted average of the sales price per share of Parent Common Stock for the ten (10) full trading days ending on and including the second (2nd) full trading day prior to the Closing Date, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function "ENV US Equity VWAP," subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.5(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Parent Stock Value is less than 90% of the Reference Price, then the Parent Stock Value shall be equal to $39.006 and if the Parent Stock Value is greater than 110% of the Reference Price, the Parent Stock Value shall be equal to $47.674. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Reference Price" shall be $43.34 and Parent and the Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, jointly provide written notice to the Exchange Agent stating the Parent Stock Value.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(i) plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable, including shares of restricted stock and shares of Parent Common Stock subject to restricted stock awards of Parent issuable pursuant to Section 1.7 (the sum of the amounts in clauses (A) and (B), the "Total Stock Amount"), would be equal to or greater than nineteen and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of the shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the "Stock Threshold"), the Per Share Stock Consideration shall be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the Total Stock Amount shall not exceed the Stock Threshold. In such event, the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Parent Stock Value; provided that (i) the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration shall in no event be increased by greater than $32,000,000 and (ii) the Total Stock Amount shall in no event exceed the Stock Threshold.
(b) All the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (each, an "Old Certificate", it being understood that any reference herein to an "Old Certificate" shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock ("Book-Entry Shares")) previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares that the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this
A-2
Section 1.5 and Section 2.2, without any interest thereon, and (iii) any dividends or distributions that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, and prior to the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction, , then the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.5(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and neither the Merger Consideration nor any other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
1.6 Merger Sub Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
1.7 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.
(a) Vested Options. Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have adopted resolutions (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent), and the Company hereby agrees to take all other actions reasonably necessary, to cause, in accordance with the Yodlee, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan, as amended; the Yodlee, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan, as amended; the Yodlee, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended; and the Yodlee, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively the "Equity Plans"), each stock option granted thereunder ("Company Stock Option") that is vested and exercisable and that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing, including Company Stock Options that will become vested as of the Closing (the "Vested Options") to be exercised immediately prior to the Closing in a cashless net exercise with shares of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be received on the exercise of such Vested Option being retained by the Company to cover the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding obligations and to issue the net number of shares of Company Common Stock upon such net exercise to the holder of such Company Stock Option where the value of a share of Company Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing shall be the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration and for purposes of determining the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration, the Parent Stock Value used to determine the Per Share Stock Consideration will be used. As of the Effective Time, each such share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article I. Each Vested Option outstanding immediately prior to the date of exercise, when exercised in accordance with this Section 1.7(a) or otherwise, shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The Company agrees to process the exercise of the Vested Options through payroll as appropriate and to remit any necessary withholding amounts that arise upon the exercise of the Vested Options to the appropriate Tax authorities or Governmental Entities, as required by applicable law.
A-3
(b) Unvested Options. Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have adopted resolutions (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parent), and the Company hereby agrees to take all other actions that are reasonably necessary, in accordance with the Equity Plans, to cause the assumption by Parent of all Company Stock Options granted pursuant to the Equity Plans, other than Vested Options, that remain outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the "Unvested Options") and the conversion of such assumed Unvested Options into awards of restricted shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the terms of this Section 1.7(b). For each Unvested Option, the number of restricted shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the assumption and conversion of such Unvested Stock Option shall be calculated by first multiplying (X) by (Y) and next dividing the result by (Z) where (X) equals the difference between the value of (i) the sum of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (B) the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration and (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock for such Unvested Option, (Y) equals the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Option and (Z) equals the Parent Stock Value. For avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration, the Parent Stock Value used to determine the Per Share Stock Consideration will be used. The restricted shares of Parent Common Stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such Unvested Option shall become vested proportionally on the same dates and subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable Unvested Option. Each Unvested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, when canceled and extinguished in exchange for the assumption of such Unvested Option and conversion into restricted shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.7(b), shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.
(c) Restricted Stock Units. Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have adopted resolutions (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parent), and the Company hereby agrees to take all other actions reasonably necessary, in accordance with the Equity Plans, to cause the terms of the assumption by Parent of all restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Equity Plans ("Company RSUs") that remain outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the "Unvested RSUs") and conversion of such assumed Unvested RSUs into awards of restricted shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the terms of this Section 1.7(c). For each Unvested RSU, the number of restricted shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the assumption and conversion of such Unvested RSU shall be calculated by first multiplying (X) by (Y) and next dividing the result by (Z) where (X) equals the value of the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration, (Y) equals the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested RSU and (Z) equals the Parent Stock Value. For avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration, the Parent Stock Value used to determine the Per Share Stock Consideration will be used. The restricted shares of Parent Common Stock received in connection with the assumption and conversion of such Unvested RSU shall become vested proportionally on the same dates and subject to the same terms and conditions generally of each applicable Unvested RSU. Each Unvested RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, when canceled and extinguished in exchange for the assumption of such Unvested RSU and conversion into restricted shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.7(c), shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.
(d) Notices.
(i) The Company agrees to provided notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of Vested Options no less than fifteen days prior to the day prior to Closing notifying the holder that the holder has no less than fifteen days to exercise such Vested Option and that any Vested Option that remains unexercised and outstanding as of
A-4
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exercised in a cashless net exercise as required by Section 1.7(a).
(ii) The Company agrees to provide notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of Unvested Options and Unvested RSUs no less than fifteen days prior to the Closing notifying the holder that such Unvested Options and Unvested RSUs are being assumed by Parent consistent with the requirements of the Equity Plans and as required by Sections 1.7(b) and 1.7(c), respectively.
(e) Form S-8 and Documentation. Parent shall take reasonable actions as are necessary for the assumption and conversion of the Unvested Options and Unvested RSUs as provided pursuant to this Sections 1.7(b) and 1.7(c), respectively, including the reservation, issuance and listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock as is necessary to effectuate the assumption contemplated herein. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on a Form S-8 (to the extent available) within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such assumed award or otherwise register such shares consistent with applicable law and will maintain the effectiveness the registration statement while those assumed awards remain outstanding. Parent shall prepare documentation, including, if applicable, a plan document and grant agreement, for such assumed awards (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such agreement and documentation will include a provision that will permit the holder of such assumed award to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that arise upon vesting or otherwise with respect to the assumed awards to be satisfied by delivering the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the award as are necessary to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations and Parent agrees to remit any required amounts to the appropriate Tax authorities or Governmental Entities, as required by applicable law.
(f) If Parent and the Company reasonably determine in good faith and on reliance upon the advice of counsel that the application of the terms of this Section 1.7 with respect to any Vested Options, Unvested Options or Unvested RSUs that is subject to the applicable laws of any foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Stock Awards") is not consistent with the laws of such jurisdiction or would result in any adverse tax consequence (whether to the individual holding such Stock Award, to Parent, to the Company or to the Surviving Company), the Company and Parent agree to work in good faith to adjust the treatment of such Stock Awards to the extent necessary in order to comply with such laws or avoid such adverse tax consequence to the extent practicable and in such a manner as yields to the holder of such Stock Award the economic benefit intended by this Sections 1.7(a), 1.7(b) or 1.7(c); provided, that, such Stock Awards as are treated differently as a result of the foregoing will remain subject to all other applicable terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 1.5(b)(ii).
1.8 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. (a) The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as set forth in the form of Exhibit A and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the "Surviving Corporation Charter") until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law and (b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time to become the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (the "Surviving Corporation Bylaws"), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law.
1.9 Directors of the Surviving Corporation. The Board of Directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation Charter and the Surviving Corporation Bylaws.
A-5
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock (including Book-Entry Shares) as to which the holder thereof (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, (ii) has properly complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and (iii) has not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to appraisal (each, a "Dissenting Share"), if any, such holder shall be entitled to payment (subject to, and net of, any applicable withholding Tax), solely from the Surviving Corporation, of the appraisal value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that (x) if any holder of Dissenting Shares, under the circumstances permitted by Section 262 of the DGCL, affirmatively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to dissent or its rights for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares, (y) if any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to establish his entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL or (z) if any holder of Dissenting Shares takes or fails to take any action the consequence of which is that such holder is not entitled to payment for his shares under the DGCL, such holder or holders shall forfeit the right be paid the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to constitute Dissenting Shares, and each such share of Company Common Stock shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.2, of such formerly Dissenting Shares.
(b) The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of, together with copies of, any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served on or otherwise received by the Company pursuant to the DGCL. Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any and all such demands for appraisal. Without limiting, and in furtherance of, the foregoing, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal, (ii) offer to settle or otherwise settle any such demands, (iii) waive any failure to properly make or effect any such demand for appraisal or other action required to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL or (iv) agree to do any of the foregoing.
ARTICLE II
DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
2.1 Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (a) evidence of Book-Entry Shares, representing the Parent Common Stock ("New Certificates"), to be given to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5 and this Article II in exchange for outstanding shares of such Company Common Stock, and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Exchange Agent to make all payments required pursuant to this Article II (such New Certificates and cash, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent or Merger Sub, or as otherwise directed by Parent.
A-6
(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article I, a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates (or surrender of Book-Entry Shares) to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the consideration for certificates representing the number of whole Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and the cash portion of the Merger Consideration which shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(b). From and after the Effective Time, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I and (ii) payment representing the amount of (A) the cash portion of the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II and (C) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2, and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued with respect to any property to be delivered upon surrender of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.2.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable after the Effective Time with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.
(c) If any New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old
A-7
Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former stockholder of the Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Parent Stock Value by (ii) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time).
(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. Any former stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore exchanged their Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Common Stock such stockholders hold as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(g) Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Merger Sub or Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the cash portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
(h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit in customary form of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
Except (i) as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution hereof (the "Company Disclosure Schedule"), provided, that any disclosures made with respect to a section of this Article III shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section of this Article III specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) any other sections of this Article III to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections; or (ii) as disclosed in any Company SEC Reports filed after June 30, 2014 and prior to the date hereof (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading "Risk Factors," or disclosures of risks set forth in any "forward-looking statements" disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:
(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" means any change, effect, development, circumstance, condition, state of facts, event or occurrence (an "Effect"), individually or in the aggregate, that has a material adverse effect on, with respect to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, the business, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (provided, however, that Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (i) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including accounting and financial reporting pronouncements by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), (ii) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate, or interpretations thereof by courts or Governmental Entities, (iii) changes, after the date hereof, in global, national, regional or local political conditions (including the outbreak of war or acts of terrorism) or in economic or market conditions affecting the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate generally and not specifically relating to such party or its Subsidiaries, (iv) any failure by such party to meet any internal or published projections, estimates or expectations of such party's revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period, in and of itself, or any failure by such party to meet its internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations, in and of itself (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a "Material Adverse Effect" may be taken into account), (v) changes attributable to the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the events leading thereto (provided that this clause (v) shall not apply to any representation or warranty to the extent that the purpose of such representation or warranty is to address the consequences resulting from the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger), or (vi) any actions expressly required by, or the failure to take any action expressly prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement; except, with respect to subclause (i), (ii) or (iii), such Effect shall be taken into account in the determination of whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred solely
A-9
to the extent such Effect materially and disproportionately affected the Company or Parent relative to other participants in the industry in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate). As used in this Agreement, the word "Subsidiary" when used with respect to any party, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such party and/or by one or more of its Subsidiaries.
(b) True and complete copies of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the "Company Certificate"), and the bylaws of the Company, as amended (the "Company Bylaws"), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by the Company to Parent.
(c) Section 3.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) each Subsidiary of the Company (a "Company Subsidiary"), (ii) the number of authorized, allotted, issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Company Subsidiary, (iii) each Company Subsidiary's jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and (iv) the location of each Company Subsidiary's principal executive offices, if any. Each Company Subsidiary (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly qualified to do business and, where such concept is recognized under applicable law, in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and in which the failure to be so qualified and, where applicable, in good standing would reasonably be likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.
(d) The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity ownership interests of each of the Company Subsidiaries, free and clear of any liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances and security interests whatsoever ("Liens"), other than Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or Taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all such shares or equity ownership interests are duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that have the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders of the Company may vote are issued or outstanding. No Company Subsidiary has or is bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any shares of capital stock or any other equity security of such Subsidiary or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of capital stock or any other equity security of such Subsidiary. Except for the shares of capital stock of the Company Subsidiaries, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock in any entity.
(e) There are no restrictions on the ability of any Company Subsidiary to pay dividends or distributions except as required by applicable law.
(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 150,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

A-10
outstanding, (ii) no shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury, and (iii) 1,768,199 shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plans, and since July 31, 2015, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of the Company have been issued, other than pursuant to the exercise or settlement of outstanding awards with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plans described in the preceding clause (iii). All the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness that have the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders of the Company may vote are issued or outstanding. Other than the Company Stock Options and the Company RSUs (collectively, the "Company Equity Awards"), in each case, issued or unsettled prior to the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, puts, calls, rights, exchangeable or convertible securities or other commitments or agreements obligating the Company or its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its or its Subsidiaries' capital stock or other equity security.
(b) There are no voting trusts, stockholder agreements, proxies or other agreements in effect pursuant to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries has a contractual or other obligation with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company Common Stock or other equity interests of the Company. Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each Equity Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock available for issuance and not subject to outstanding awards under each Equity Plan. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent the form of agreement related to each such award. No material changes have been made to such form in connection with any award. Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all Company Equity Awards outstanding as of the date hereof specifying, on a holder-by-holder basis, to the extent applicable, (i) the name of each holder, (ii) the number of shares subject to each such Company Equity Award (assuming target performance, if applicable), (iii) the grant date of each such Company Equity Award, (iv) the exercise price for each such Company Equity Award that is a Company Stock Option and (v) the expiration date of each such Company Equity Award that is a Company Stock Option. Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, with respect to all Company Equity Awards that are unvested as of the date hereof, the vesting schedule applicable to such Company Equity Awards. Other than the Company Equity Awards, no equity-based awards (including any cash awards where the amount of payment is determined in whole or in part based on the price of any capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries) are outstanding.

No such Parent SEC Report, at the time filed, furnished or communicated (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of the relevant meetings, respectively), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except that information filed or furnished as of a later date (but before the date of this Agreement) shall be deemed to modify information as of an earlier date.

KPMG LLP has not resigned (or informed Parent that it intends to resign) or been dismissed as independent public accountants of Parent as a result of or in connection with any disagreements with Parent on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
(b) Neither Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries has any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) that would be required by GAAP to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (or in the notes thereto), except (a) as reflected or reserved against in Parent's consolidated balance sheet included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (including any notes thereto), (b) for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since March 31, 2015, (c) liabilities under this Agreement, including fees and expenses payable to any accountant, outside legal counsel or financial advisor which are incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger) and (d) for liabilities which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

Parent (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to Parent, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Parent by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Parent's outside auditors and the Audit Committee of Parent's Board of Directors (x) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (y) to the knowledge of Parent, any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent's internal control over financial reporting. Copies of any such disclosures were made in writing by management to Parent's auditors and Audit Committee and a copy has been previously made available to the Company. To the knowledge of
A-31
Parent, there is no reason to believe that Parent's outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without qualification, prior to the Closing Date.

agreement to take such action being referred to herein as an "Adverse Recommendation Change"); provided, however, that prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, if the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that, because of the receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a breach of Section 6.11(a) ) that the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may (x) in connection with such Superior Proposal, make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (y) terminate this Agreement for the purpose of causing the Company to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (provided that such termination shall not be effective until and unless the Company shall have paid the Termination Fee in connection with such termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2(b)(iv)), which the Company shall enter into concurrently with or immediately following such termination; provided that the Board of Directors of the Company may not take any actions under clause (x) or clause (y) of this sentence unless (i) it gives Parent at least three (3) business days' prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which shall include a description of the then current material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal (including the ultimate parent of such person) and any subsequent material amendment or modification thereof), (ii) during the three (3) business days following such written notice, the Company's Board of Directors and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent; and (iii) at the end of such three (3) business day period, the Board of Directors of the Company, taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent and after consultation with its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law (it being understood that any material amendment to the Superior Proposal will require a new notice period as referred to in clause (i) of this Section 6.2(a) (except that such notice period shall be two (2) business days) and require compliance with the other provisions of clauses (i)(iii) of this Section 6.2(a)), provided, further, however, that prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, if the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, determines in good faith that, because of the occurrence of an Intervening Event that the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, that the Board of Directors of the Company may not take such action unless (i) it gives Parent at least three (3) business days' prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which shall include a description of the reasons therefor, (ii) during the three (3) business days following such written notice, the Company's Board of Directors and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent; and (iii) at the end of such three (3) business day period, the Board of Directors of the Company, taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent and after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. As used in this agreement, "Intervening Event" means any event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, that occurs or arises after the date hereof and prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote and that was not, prior to the date of this Agreement, known by or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if known, the consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable as of the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event will the trading
A-39
price of the Company Common Stock or the receipt, existence or terms of an Alternative Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof constitute an Intervening Event.
(b) The Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting, if (A) as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Company Vote, (B) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting by applicable law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (C) if the Company has sent to the stockholders of the Company or otherwise made available to them any new material information or disclosure since the date of the Proxy Statement, the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting in order to give the stockholders of the Company sufficient time to evaluate any such new material information or disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Company Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement and the other matters contemplated hereby, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation (including any Adverse Recommendation Change).
(a) The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and Governmental Entities.
(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall (i) make or cause to be made the filings required of such party under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (ii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request under the HSR Act for additional information, documents or other materials received by such party from the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") or by any other Governmental Entity in respect of such filings or the Merger and (iii) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any such filings and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Entity with respect to any such filing or the Merger. Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and all correspondence relating thereto prior to filing, other than any portions of material filed in connection therewith that contain competitively sensitive business or other proprietary information filed under a claim of confidentiality and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of
A-40
information. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. Each party shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.
(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Parent or the Company to take, or commit to take, any action or agree to any condition or restriction that would reasonably be likely to result in a Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition" shall mean making proposals, executing or carrying out agreements (including consent decrees) or submitting to Laws (i) providing for the transfer, license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of the shares of capital stock of any Company Subsidiary or any Parent Subsidiary or (ii) imposing or seeking to impose any limitation on the ability of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses or own such assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the business of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries, in each case other than any de minimis administrative or ministerial obligations.
(d) Parent and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, (i) that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 will, at the time the Form S-4 and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to stockholders and at the time of the Company Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each of Parent and the Company further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement.
A-41
(e) Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any such consent or approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will not be timely received.
6.4 Access to Information; Cooperation.
(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, personnel, information technology systems and records, and each shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in preparing to execute after the Effective Time conversion or consolidation of systems and business operations generally (including by entering into customary confidentiality, nondisclosure and similar agreements with service providers), and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize any interference with the Company's regular business operations during any such access. Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, furnish or otherwise make available to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives of the other party such information concerning its businesses as is reasonably relevant to such party and its stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No party shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or work-product protection of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will seek to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
(b) Each party shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to this Section 6.4 in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated February 26, 2015, as amended April 22, 2015, by and between Parent and the Company (the "Non-Disclosure Agreement").
(c) No investigation by Parent, the Company or their respective representatives pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other party prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries' respective operations.
6.5 Further Assurances. Subject in all respects to Section 6.3, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall cause the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notices of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.
(a) As a result of the Merger, each of the current employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed as of the Effective Time shall become employees of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the "Company Employees") by operation of law. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2016, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any successor thereto to maintain (x) base compensation (including base salary or base hourly wage) (y) target bonus and other incentive opportunities consistent with past practice of the Company for each Employee (provided that the bonus and other incentive opportunity remains subject to satisfaction of applicable performance goals and the bonus or incentive opportunity does not in any way guaranty any bonus or grant amount and provided further that the Parent retains the discretion to determine the mix of cash and equity of any such bonus or incentive opportunity distribution consistent with the mix of cash and equity determined for similarly situated employees of Parent), and (z) employee benefits that are no less favorable than the benefits provided in the aggregate to similarly situated employees of the Parent.
(b) On or after the Closing Date upon a transition date to be selected by the Parent in its sole discretion (the "Transition Date"), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and/or the appropriate Subsidiaries of Parent to permit the Company Employees to enroll and participate the employee benefit or compensation plans, programs or arrangements adopted, maintained or contributed to by Parent or the Surviving Corporation and/or their Subsidiaries in which employees of the Company are eligible to participate (the "Parent Plans"). The Transition Date may be a different date for separate Parent Plans. Until the applicable Transition Date is selected for a Parent Plan, the Parent shall or shall cause the Companies and/or the appropriate subsidiaries of Parent to maintain the corresponding Company Benefit Plans in which the Company Employees are eligible to participate in accordance with their terms. Further, if the Parent elects to require the Company to terminate the Savings Plan in accordance with Section 6.7(d), the Transition Date with respect to the Parent Plan corresponding to the Savings Plan shall be the Closing Date. With respect to any Parent Plans in which the Company Employees become eligible to participate on or after the applicable Transition Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and/or the appropriate Subsidiaries of Parent to, no later than the applicable Transition Date: (i) provide the Company Employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan), under each applicable Parent Plan for all periods of employment with the Company or any predecessor entity to the extent that such service was taken in to account under the applicable plan of the Company, prior to the Effective Time, and with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates on and after the Effective Time; and (ii) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any Parent Plan to be waived with respect to the Company Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the applicable Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any service prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any of its Affiliates or any predecessor count as service with Parent for purposes of the Parent Scholarship Plan.
(c) In the event that the employment of any Company Employee shall be terminated without cause at any time during the twelve (12)-month period following the Effective Time, such Company Employee shall, subject to such Company Employee signing and not revoking a general release of claims against the Company, the Surviving Company, the Parent and their respective
A-43
affiliates that becomes effective within sixty days of the date of such termination, be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for at least three (3) months (without duplication, however, with any payment under any severance or separation plan or program of general applicability maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Parent Severance Plans") or any individual agreement between the Employee and the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries) and (ii) with respect to the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, a payment equal to the bonus or variable compensation otherwise payable under any management incentive plan or other similar plan or program maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation in which the employee is participating at the time of termination as determined by Parent in good faith with such amount no greater than the amount of bonus paid with respect to such Company Employee consist with past practice and with such bonus amount prorated based on the number of days that the employee was employed by the Surviving Corporation during such fiscal year. In the event that the employment of any current employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated without cause at any time after the initial 12-month period of the Closing, such employees shall be entitled to receive severance benefits equal to the benefits under the Parent Severance Plans, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Employee who is a party to an individual agreement that provides for the payment of severance in any amount or who would be entitled to statutory payments of severance pursuant to local law shall not be eligible for the payments described in this Section 6.7(c).
(d) The Company shall adopt resolutions to terminate the Yodlee, Inc. 401(k) Plan "Savings Plan") effective prior to the Effective Time, unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date that it should not terminate the Savings Plan.
(e) 280G Calculation. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the date requested, the Company will make available to Parent all information reasonably requested by Parent in order for the Parent to determine if any person is reasonably likely to receive payments or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause either Parent or any of its affiliates to be obligated to continue to employ any person, including any Employees, for any period of time following the Effective Time, (ii) shall prevent Parent or its affiliates from revising, amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time, (iii) shall be construed as an amendment of any Company Benefit Plan, or (iv) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person, including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual.
6.8 Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present or former director, or officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the "Company Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, for acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby, to the same extent as such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Certificate, or the Company Bylaws, or the governing or organizational documents of
A-44
any Company Subsidiary and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof or entered into prior to Closing on the same form as in existence as of the date hereof; and the Surviving Corporation to advance expenses as incurred by such Company Indemnified Parties to the same extent as such persons are entitled to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Certificate, or the Company Bylaws, or the governing or organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof; provided that the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking (in a reasonable and customary form) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) Subject to the following sentence, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the "Premium Cap"), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall maintain policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation's good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company may in consultation with Parent (and at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year "tail" policy under the Company's existing directors and officers insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.
(c) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If either Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or any of its successors or assigns, consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, transfers all or substantially all of its assets or deposits to any other entity or engages in any similar transaction, then in each case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will expressly assume the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, set forth in this Section 6.8.
6.9 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take, or cause to be taken, all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by any other party, at the expense of the party who makes any such request.
6.10 Advice of Changes. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly advise the other of any fact, change, event or circumstance known to it (i) that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein that
A-45
reasonably would be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of one of its conditions in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) to be satisfied.
(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, "Representatives") not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning or (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; provided, that, prior to receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, in the event Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, it may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries' Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that its Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, further, that, prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, the Company shall have provided notice to Parent of its intention to provide such information, and shall contemporaneously provide or make available such information to Parent if not previously provided to Parent, and shall have entered into a non-disclosure agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the Non-Disclosure Agreement, which non-disclosure agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company, but which non-disclosure agreement shall not be required to include any "standstill" or similar provision. The Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Parent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company will promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the terms thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), and will promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent of any material related developments, discussions and negotiations on a prompt basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the material terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall within ten (10) business days after the date hereof, request and confirm the return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any person (other than Parent and its affiliates) pursuant to any non-disclosure agreement. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall cause its Representatives not to on its or its Subsidiaries' behalf, enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, or other agreement (other than a non-disclosure agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with this Section 6.11(a)) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (each an "Acquisition Agreement").
(b) As used in this Agreement, "Acquisition Proposal" shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated
A-46
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, reorganization, joint venture, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(c) As used in this Agreement, "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 6.11(a) that the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its stockholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (i) after consultation with its financial advisors, (ii) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and (iii) after taking into account all legal (after consultation with outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including any expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to closing) and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law; provided that for purposes of the definition of "Superior Proposal," the references to "twenty percent (20%) or more" in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to "a majority."
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or any other applicable law; provided, however, that any statement(s) made by the Company or its Board of Directors pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, that any public statement (other than as provided in the next proviso or in a notice to Parent provided under Section 6.2(a) relating to a Superior Proposal) that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless it includes either an express rejection of the Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Company Recommendation; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change for the Company Board to make a "stop, look and listen" communication pursuant to Rule 14d9-f or any substantially similar communication in connection with any Acquisition Proposal that is not a tender offer. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from making any disclosure to its stockholders that is required under applicable law or that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the Board of Directors' fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.12 Public Announcements. The Company and Parent shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to develop a joint communications plan, (b) to ensure that all press releases and other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint communications plan, and (c) except in respect of any announcement required by (i) applicable law or regulation, (ii) a request by a Governmental Entity or (iii) an obligation pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, each of the Company and Parent agrees to consult with the other and to obtain the advance approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) before issuing any press release or, to the extent practical, otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Company shall not be required by this Section 6.12 to consult with, or obtain prior approval

(g) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither obtaining financing related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor completing the Financing, is a condition to the Closing.

(c) by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before February 15, 2016 (the "Termination Date"), unless the failure of the consummation of the Merger to occur by such date shall be due to the material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement;

A-54
Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a termination by the Company;

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 8.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 9.5, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.
(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Parent, Company, Merger Sub, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Section 6.4(b), this Section 8.2 and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.
(b) (i) In the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c), or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) as a result of a material breach of covenant by the Company, and (B) prior to the date of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made known to senior management of the Company or shall have been made publicly known or any person shall have publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal and (C) within twelve (12) months of the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to in clause (B) of this Section 8.2(b)(i)), then the Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, a fee equal to $17.8 million (the "Termination Fee"); provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(b), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to "twenty (20%)" shall instead refer to "fifty (50%)".

A-55
Section 8.2(b)(ii), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to "twenty (20%)" shall instead refer to "fifty (50%)".
(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then the Company shall pay Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee as promptly as reasonably practical after the date of termination (and, in any event, within three (3) business days thereafter).
(iv) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g) (with respect to a termination effected under Section 6.2(a)), then the Company shall pay Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with such termination of this Agreement.
(c) Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses of Parent (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if the Company fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.2, then the Company shall pay interest on such overdue amounts (for the period commencing as of the date that any such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to the "prime rate" (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or any successor thereto) in effect on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable by the Company under this Section 8.2 shall be equal to the Termination Fee, and in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such fee is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities forgone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

WHEREAS, the Stockholder owns of record and has sole or shared voting power with respect to the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated opposite the Stockholder's name on Schedule 1 attached hereto (together with any New Shares (defined in Section 5 below), and any other shares or New Shares such Stockholder beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), the "Shares");
WHEREAS, the Stockholder owns of record the warrants, options, restricted stock units and convertible notes representing the right to acquire beneficial ownership of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated opposite the Stockholder's name on Schedule 1 attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Stockholder and Parent agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
(a) The Stockholder agrees that, prior to the Expiration Time (as defined in Section 4 below), at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, with respect to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, any Acquisition Proposal, the Stockholder shall:
(i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and
(ii) from and after the date hereof until the Expiration Time, vote (or cause to be voted) or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) covering all of the Shares that such Stockholder shall be entitled to so vote: (A) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (whether or not recommended by the Company's Board of Directors); (B) against any action or agreement upon which the Company calls its stockholders to vote or consent in breach of the Merger Agreement; and (C) against any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal for any recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other business combination between the Company and any other person (other than the Merger) that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere
B-1
with, delay or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Stockholder to vote or otherwise consent to any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the taking of any action that could result in the amendment, modification or a waiver of a provision therein, in any such case, in a manner that (i) decreases the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration, (ii) imposes any material restrictions or additional conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the payment of the Merger Consideration to stockholders, (iii) extends the Termination Date or (iv) amends any other term or condition of the Merger Agreement that is adverse to the Stockholder's rights under the Merger Agreement.

liabilities or damages arising out of the willful and material breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement prior to such
termination.

Shares"), including shares of capital stock of the Company that are acquired by the Stockholder from the exercise, conversion or vesting of warrants, options, restricted stock
units and convertible notes shown on Schedule 1, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they
constituted Shares as of the date hereof, and the representation and warranties in Section 7 below shall be true and correct as of the date that
beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.

8. Irrevocable Proxy. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder does hereby
appoint Parent and up to three designees of Parent, and each of them individually, with
full power of substitution and re-substitution, as the Stockholder's true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and irrevocable proxies, to the fullest extent of the Stockholder's rights with respect to the
Shares, in the event the Stockholder does not vote in the manner described in Section 2 of this Agreement, to vote each of the Shares solely in

hereby agrees to take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of the Stockholder's proxy and hereby revokes any proxies previously
granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Shares, and represents to Parent that no such previously-granted proxies are irrevocable.

may reasonably be likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (c) enter into any agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement), (d) solicit

securities of the Company that takes any action in support of any Acquisition Proposal.

Company, from exercising his or her duties, obligations or rights as a director or officer of the Company or otherwise taking any action while acting in such capacity as a director or officer of the

parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy
for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific relief hereunder, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions to prevent and enjoin
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in any state or federal court in any competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy

Parent prompt (and in any event within 48 hours) written notice of any breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Stockholder set forth in this Agreement that would
prevent or delay the performance by the Stockholder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
13. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all

hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary or Affiliate.
15. No Waivers. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by Parent to the Stockholder
shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of Parent with respect
to any other stockholder of the Company who has executed an agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement with respect to Shares held or subsequently held by such stockholder or with respect
to any subsequent breach of the Stockholder or any other such stockholder of the Company. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by
any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each
party agrees that it will bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in the Chancery Court

executed in connection herewith and the matters contemplated hereby and thereby.

anti-takeover laws and regulations, and any applicable provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement,
(b) the Merger Agreement is executed by all parties thereto, and (c) this Agreement is executed by all parties hereto.

among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an

of Directors
Yodlee, Inc.
3600 Bridge Parkway, Suite 200
Redwood City, California 94065
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Yodlee, Inc. (the "Company") of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2015 (the "Agreement"), by and among Envestnet, Inc. ("Parent"), Yale Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") and each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive a combination of (i) $10.78 in cash (such dollar amount, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5(a)(ii) of the Agreement), the "Cash Consideration") plus (ii) a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the "Parent Common Stock"), of Parent based upon the volume weighted average sale prices per Parent Common Stock as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function "ENV US Equity VWAP," as more fully set forth in the Agreement (such number of shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5(a)(ii), the "Stock Consideration"). As used herein, the term "Merger Consideration" shall mean, collectively, the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of the Company, Parent, any of their respective affiliates and third parties, including Warburg Pincus LLC, a significant stockholder of the Company ("Warburg Pincus"), and its affiliates and portfolio companies, or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the "Transaction"). We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. We expect to receive fees for our services in connection with the Transaction, all of which are contingent upon consummation of the Transaction, and the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement. We have provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company and/or its affiliates from time to time for which our Investment Banking Division has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as lead manager with respect to the Company's initial public offering of 6,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock in October 2014. We have also provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Warburg Pincus and/or its affiliates and portfolio companies from time to time for which our Investment Banking Division has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as (i) financial advisor with respect to
C-1
the sale of Bausch and Lomb Inc. in August 2013, (ii) lead bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 21,051,000 shares of Endurance International Group, Inc. in October 2013, (iii) lead bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 41,687,500 shares of ARAMARK Corporation in December 2013, (iv) as bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 85,242,042 shares of Satander Consumer USA Inc. in January 2014, (v) financial advisor with respect to the sale of Survitec Group Limited in March 2015, and (vi) bookrunning manager with respect to the initial public offering of 543,588,000 shares of Red Star Macalline Group in June 2015. We may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company, Parent, Warburg Pincus and its portfolio companies and their respective affiliates for which our Investment Banking Division may receive compensation. Affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. also may have co-invested with Warburg Pincus and its affiliates from time to time and may have invested in limited partnership units of affiliates of Warburg Pincus from time to time and may do so in the future.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Agreement; the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, including the prospectus contained therein dated October 2, 2014 relating to the Company's initial public offering; annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014; Parent's Registration Statement on Form S-1, including the prospectus contained therein dated July 28, 2010 relating to Parent's initial public offering; annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Parent for the four fiscal years ended December 31, 2014; certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and Parent; certain other communications from the Company and Parent to their respective stockholders; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company and Parent; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for Parent prepared by its management; and certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company and for Parent, in each case as prepared by the management of the Company and approved for our use by the Company (the "Forecasts"), and certain revenue synergies and cost savings projected by the managements of the Company and Parent to result from the Transaction, as approved for our use by the Company (the "Synergies"). We have also held discussions with members of the senior managements of the Company and Parent regarding their assessment of the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the Transaction and the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company and Parent; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Shares and Parent Common Stock; compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company and Parent with similar financial and stock market information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the software industry and in other industries; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as we deemed appropriate.
For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have, with your consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, us, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, we have assumed with your consent that the Forecasts and the Synergies, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company. We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. We have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company or Parent or on the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to our analysis. We have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to our analysis.
C-2
Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. This opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of Shares, as of the date hereof, of the Merger Consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement. We do not express any view on, and our opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the Agreement or Transaction or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Agreement or entered into or amended in connection with the Transaction, including, the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company, or class of such persons, in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of Shares pursuant to the Agreement or otherwise. We are not expressing any opinion as to the prices at which Parent Common Stock will trade at any time or as to the impact of the Transaction on the solvency or viability of the Company or Parent or the ability of the Company or Parent to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date hereof. Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Shares should vote with respect to such Transaction or any other matter. This opinion has been approved by a fairness committee of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of Shares pursuant to the Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Shares.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Goldman, Sachs & Co. (GOLDMAN, SACHS & CO.) |

Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title and, subject to paragraph (b)(3) of this section, § 251(h) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:
(1) Provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 251(h), § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
D-1
(4) In the event of an amendment to a corporation's certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as practicable, with the word "amendment" substituted for the words "merger or consolidation," and the word "corporation" substituted for the words "constituent corporation" and/or "surviving or resulting corporation."
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated by §251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either
D-2
(i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such
D-3
publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.
(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease.
D-4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
D-5
