Livongo Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) FAQs

 

  1.

What will happen to the Livongo Employee Stock Purchase Plan?

For any offering period in effect under Livongo’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), prior to the closing of the merger between Livongo and Teladoc, Livongo will cause the final purchase date to be no later than five business days before the effective time of the merger, and each Livongo ESPP participant’s accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares of Livongo common stock on such date; provided that any accumulated contributions will be refunded to the applicable participant to the extent they are not used to purchase such shares. Livongo currently anticipates the purchase date will be on October 23, 2020. The Livongo ESPP will be terminated as of immediately prior to the closing date.

 

  2.

Am I allowed to still make contribution changes before the purchase date?

Livongo ESPP participants may not change their payroll deductions from those in effect on August 5, 2020 (the date on which the merger agreement was entered into), other than to discontinue (withdraw) their participation in the Livongo ESPP in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Livongo ESPP.

 

  3.

Will the purchased shares on October 23, 2020 qualify for the cash consideration applied to other shares of Livongo common stock?

Livongo common stock purchased through the ESPP is entitled to the same merger consideration as all other shares of Livongo common stock. For each share of Livongo common stock you continue to hold at the closing of the merger, you will receive 0.592 shares of Teladoc common stock and $11.33 in cash (consisting of $4.24 in merger consideration and a $7.09 special dividend) at the effective time of the merger.

 


  4.

Once the merger closes will I be able to enroll in Teladoc’s ESPP?
