(the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA” and the transactions contemplated by the SPA are referred to herein as the “Transactions”) with Bright Health Management, Inc. (“Bright HealthCare”), pursuant to which EH Holdings will sell all of its equity interest in THNM to Bright HealthCare for a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $22 million, plus excess risk based capital.
