SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
This supplement to the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on July 29, 2019 (which we refer to as the
definitive
proxy statement
) by WageWorks, Inc. (which we refer to as
WageWorks
,
we
or
us
) is being filed to supplement the definitive proxy statement as described pursuant to the Explanatory
Note below.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On June 26, 2019, WageWorks entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (which we refer to as the
merger agreement
)
with HealthEquity, Inc. (which we refer to as
HealthEquity
) and Pacific Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HealthEquity (which we refer to as
Merger Sub
), pursuant to which the parties agreed that,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, HealthEquity will acquire WageWorks in a merger transaction (which we refer to as the
merger
). In connection with the merger, five purported stockholder complaints have been
filed. Two complaints, captioned
Kevin Nixon v. WageWorks, Inc., et al.
, Case No.
1:19-cv-07120,
and
Botros Soliman v. WageWorks, Inc., et al.,
Case No.
1:19-cv-07419,
were filed against WageWorks and the WageWorks board in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Two complaints, captioned
Charles Glass v. WageWorks, Inc., et al
., Case No.
3:19-cv-04532,
and
Kari Kreuger v. WageWorks, Inc., et al.
, Case No.
3:19-cv-04903,
were filed against WageWorks and the WageWorks board in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. One complaint, captioned
Jordan Rosenblatt v. WageWorks,
Inc., et al.
, Case No.
1:19-cv-01416,
was filed against WageWorks and the WageWorks board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. We refer
to these five actions by purported stockholders collectively as the
purported
stockholder actions
. The complaints generally allege that the definitive proxy statement filed by WageWorks omits material information necessary
for WageWorks stockholders to make an informed decision regarding the merger, and assert claims for violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule
14a-9
promulgated thereunder. The actions captioned
Charles Glass v. WageWorks, Inc., et al
., and
Jordan Rosenblatt v. WageWorks, Inc., et al.
are brought as putative class actions on behalf of all public stockholders of WageWorks. The
action captioned
Charles Glass v. WageWorks, Inc., et al.
also purports to assert a claim for violation of 17 C.F.R. § 244.100. The complaints seek, among other things, to enjoin the proposed merger or, should it be consummated, to
rescind it or award damages, as well as an award of the plaintiffs attorneys fees and costs in the actions.
WageWorks
believes that no supplemental disclosures are required under applicable laws. However, to avoid the risk of the purported stockholder actions delaying or adversely affecting the merger and to minimize the expense of defending the purported
stockholder actions, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, WageWorks is making certain disclosures below that supplement and revise those contained in the definitive proxy statement, which we refer to as the
litigation-related
supplemental disclosures
. The litigation-related supplemental disclosures contained below should be read in conjunction with the definitive proxy statement, which is available on the Internet site maintained by the Securities and Exchange
Commission at http://www.sec.gov, along with periodic reports and other information WageWorks files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. WageWorks and the other named defendants have denied, and continue to deny, that they have committed or
assisted others in committing any violations of law or breaches of duty to the WageWorks stockholders, and expressly maintain that, to the extent applicable, they have complied with their fiduciary and other legal duties and are providing the
litigation-related supplemental disclosures below solely for the purpose of eliminating the burden and expense of further litigation, putting the claims that were or could have been asserted to rest, and avoiding any possible delay to the closing of
the merger that might arise from further litigation. Nothing in the litigation-related supplemental disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the litigation-related supplemental
disclosures set forth herein. To the extent that the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the definitive proxy statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the
definitive proxy statement. All page references are to pages in the definitive proxy statement, and terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the definitive proxy statement.
