HealthEquity is a leader in administering health savings accounts (“HSAs”) and complementary consumer-directed benefits (“CDBs”), which empower consumers to access tax-advantaged healthcare savings while also providing corporate tax advantages for employers.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HealthEquity and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

Note 2. Net income (loss) per share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:
Three months ended October 31, Nine months ended October 31,
(in thousands, except per share data) 2021 2020 2021 2020
Numerator (basic and diluted):

Denominator (basic):
Weighted-average common shares outstanding 83,551 76,701 82,939 73,358
Denominator (diluted):
Weighted-average common shares outstanding 83,551 76,701 82,939 73,358
Weighted-average dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units — 1,144 — 1,307
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 83,551 77,845 82,939 74,665
Net income (loss) per share:
Basic $ ( 0.06 ) $ 0.02 $ ( 0.14 ) $ 0.05
Diluted $ ( 0.06 ) $ 0.02 $ ( 0.14 ) $ 0.05
For the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, 1.6 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, attributable to stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 1.9 million and 0.6 million shares, respectively, attributable to stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3. Business combination
Acquisition of Luum
On March 8, 2021, the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding capital stock of Fort Effect Corp, d/b/a Luum (the "Luum Acquisition"). Luum provides employers with a suite of commute tools as well as real-time commute data to help them design and implement flexible return-to-office and hybrid-workplace strategies and benefits. The aggregate purchase price consisted of $ 50.2 million in cash, and up to $ 20.0 million in additional payments which were contingent on Luum achieving certain revenue targets during the two-year period following the closing of the Luum Acquisition and, if achieved, would be payable in fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The Company recorded an $ 8.1 million liability representing its best estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs, with any changes in the fair value recorded as other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company recognized income of $ 3.2 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. On October 31, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement to pay $ 6.0 million in satisfaction of the contingent consideration liability, which is presented within accrued liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2021.
The Luum Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be finalized within the measurement period.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes the Company's current allocation of the consideration paid:
(in thousands) Estimated fair value Adjustments Updated Allocation
Cash and cash equivalents $ 626 $ — $ 626
Other current assets 1,469 — 1,469
Intangible assets 23,900 — 23,900
Goodwill 36,374 ( 19 ) 36,355
Other assets 100 — 100
Current liabilities ( 597 ) — ( 597 )
Deferred tax liability ( 3,566 ) 19 ( 3,547 )
Total consideration paid $ 58,306 $ — $ 58,306
The Luum Acquisition resulted in $ 36.4 million of goodwill. The preliminary goodwill to be recognized is attributable to several strategic, operational, and financial benefits expected from the Luum Acquisition, including an expanded commuter offering beyond traditional pre-tax commuter benefits and additional cross-selling opportunities. The adjustments to the initial allocation were based on more detailed information obtained about the specific assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and tax-related matters. The goodwill created in the Luum Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The preliminary allocation of consideration exchanged to acquired identified intangible assets is as follows:
($ in thousands) Fair value Estimated life
(in years)
Customer relationships (1) $ 12,400 7.0
Developed technology (1) 10,900 5.0
Trade names & trademarks (1) 600 3.0
Total acquired intangible assets $ 23,900 6.0
(1) The Company preliminarily valued the acquired assets utilizing the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach.
The pro forma effects of the Luum Acquisition would not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial information is presented.

Contract balances
The Company does not recognize revenue until its right to consideration is unconditional and therefore has no related contract assets. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the related services, the Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, until its performance obligations are satisfied. As of

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of covenants, representations, and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
Legal matters
In April 2021, WageWorks exercised its right to terminate a lease for office space in Mesa, Arizona that had not yet commenced, with aggregate lease payments of $ 63.1 million and a term of approximately 11 years, following the landlord's failure to fulfill its obligations under the lease agreement. Because the lease had not yet commenced, the Company had not recognized a right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, or any rent expense associated with the lease. WageWorks' right to terminate the lease agreement was disputed by the landlord, Union Mesa 1, LLC (“Union Mesa”). On November 5, 2021, Union Mesa notified WageWorks that it was in default of the lease for failure to pay rent, which Union Mesa claimed was due beginning in November 2021, and on November 24, 2021 drew $ 2.8 million, the full amount under the letter of credit that WageWorks had posted to secure its obligations under the lease. On December 1, 2021, WageWorks filed a lawsuit against Union Mesa in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa. Pursuant to the lawsuit, WageWorks seeks declaratory judgment that the lease was properly terminated and recourse against Union Mesa for breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and conversion, including return of the funds drawn under the letter of credit.
On March 9, 2018, a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Securities Class Action”). On May 16, 2019, a consolidated amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiffs asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Company's subsidiary WageWorks, Inc. ("WageWorks"), its former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer on behalf of purchasers of WageWorks common stock between May 6, 2016 and March 1, 2018. The complaint also alleged claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, arising from WageWorks’ June 19, 2017 common stock offering against those same defendants, as well as the members of its board of directors at the time of that offering. The class action settled for $ 30.0 million. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, WageWorks contributed $ 5.0 million and its insurers paid the remaining $ 25.0 million. The court granted final approval of the settlement and entered a final judgment on August 20, 2021. This matter is now closed.
On June 22, 2018 and September 6, 2018, two derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of WageWorks’ former officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. The actions were consolidated. On July 23, 2018, a similar derivative lawsuit was filed against certain former WageWorks’ officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (together, the “Derivative Suits”). The allegations in the Derivative Suits relate to substantially the same facts as those underlying the Securities Class Action described above. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, fees and costs. Plaintiffs in the Superior Court action filed an amended consolidated complaint on October 28, 2019, naming as defendants certain former officers and directors of WageWorks and alleging a direct claim of "inseparable fraud/breach of fiduciary duty" on behalf of a class. WageWorks was not named as a party in that complaint. On June 24, 2020, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a notice of appeal. On October 28, 2021, the court of appeal dismissed the appeal pursuant to the release in the class action settlement discussed above. The District Court action is currently stayed.
WageWorks previously entered into indemnification agreements with its former directors and officers and, pursuant to these indemnification agreements, is covering the defense fees and costs of its former directors and officers in the legal proceedings described above.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other litigation, governmental proceedings and claims, not described above, that arise in the normal course of business. It is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome or the duration of such litigation, governmental proceedings or claims, or the impact that such litigation, proceedings and claims will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
As required under GAAP, the Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that any liabilities relating to these matters are probable or that the amount of any resulting loss is estimable. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a

material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods.
Note 7. Income taxes
The Company follows ASC 740-270, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting , for the computation and presentation of its interim period tax provision. Accordingly, management estimated the effective annual tax rate and applied this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax book income (loss) to determine the interim benefit or provision for income taxes. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $ 4.1 million and $ 11.5 million, respectively. This resulted in an effective income tax benefit rate of 44.8 % and 50.1 % for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, respectively, compared with an effective income tax expense rate of 56.7 % and 36.8 % for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, discrete tax items had an effective tax rate benefit of 7.7 % and 20.5 %, respectively, compared with an effective tax rate expense of 6.0 % and an effective tax rate benefit of 9.6 % for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, primarily due to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation expense recognized in the provision for income taxes.
As of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefit was $ 11.2 million and $ 10.2 million, respectively. If recognized, $ 10.3 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of October 31, 2021.
The Company files income tax returns with U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is currently under examination by the IRS and in the state of Texas. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to our taxes, net operating losses, and/or tax credit carryforwards. As a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, the Company remains subject to examination by one or more jurisdictions for tax years after 2001.

4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029
On October 8, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $ 600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated October 8, 2021, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes together with borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and cash on hand, were used to repay the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below).
The Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing direct and indirect, wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its obligations under the Credit Agreement and are required to be guaranteed by any of the Company’s future subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Credit Agreement or certain of its other indebtedness. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2029. Interest on the Notes will be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. The effective interest rate on the Notes is 4.72 %.
-14-
Table of Contents
The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of its future subordinated debt.
The Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2024, at a redemption price if redeemed during the 12 months beginning (i) October 1, 2024 of 102.250 %, (ii) October 1, 2025 of 101.125 %, and (iii) October 1, 2026 and thereafter of 100.000 %, in each case of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, and together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem some or all of the Notes before October 1, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Notes, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to October 1, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture on one or more occasions in an aggregate amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.500 % of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Furthermore, the Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes upon the sale of certain assets or upon specific kinds of changes of control.
The Indenture contains covenants that impose significant operational and financial restrictions on the Company; however, these covenants generally align with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. See "Credit Agreement" below for a description of these covenants.
Credit Agreement
On October 8, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and the Swing Line Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and each L/C Issuer (as defined therein) party thereto, pursuant to which the Company established:
(i) a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ 350.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility as described below (the “Refinancing”), to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing and the establishment of the Credit Facilities (as defined below) and for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the financing of acquisitions and other investments; and
(ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 1.0 billion (with a $ 25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit), the proceeds of which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the financing of acquisitions and other investments.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement (including obtaining additional commitments from one or more new or existing lenders), the Company may in the future incur additional loans or commitments under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 300 million, plus an additional amount so long as the Company’s pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed 3.85 to 1.00 as of the date such loans or commitments are incurred.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.25 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.25 %, with the applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of October 31, 2021, the stated interest rate was 1.88 % and the effective interest rate was 2.63 %. The Company is also required to pay certain fees to the Lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20 % to 0.40 %, with the applicable rate also determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The loans made under the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to the following percentage of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility: (i) 2.5 % for the first year after October 8, 2021; (ii) 5.0 % for each of the second and third years after October 8, 2021; (iii) 7.5 % for the fourth year after October 8, 2021; and (iv) 10.0 % for the fifth year after October 8, 2021. In addition, the Term Loan Facility is required to be mandatorily prepaid with 100 % of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds, including to the extent such proceeds are reinvested in assets useful in the business of the Company and its subsidiaries within 450 days following receipt (or committed to be reinvested within such 450 -day period and reinvested within 180 days after the
-15-
Table of Contents
end of such 450 -day period). The loans under the Credit Facilities may be prepaid, and the commitments thereunder may be reduced, by the Company without penalty or premium, subject to the reimbursement of customary “breakage costs.”
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds, qualifications and “baskets.” In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial performance covenants, which require the Company to maintain (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2022, and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2022. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2021, and for the period then ended.
The repayment obligation under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, including, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest or fees on a timely basis, material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, failure to comply with covenants, cross-default to other material debt, material judgments, change of control and certain insolvency or bankruptcy-related events, in each case, subject to any certain grace and/or cure periods.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are required to be unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing or subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions.
Prior Credit Agreement
On August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement”) that provided for:
(i) a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ 1.25 billion; and
(ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Prior Term Loan Facility, the “Prior Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 350.0 million. No amounts were drawn under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facilities bore interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of HealthEquity, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.25 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.25 %, with the applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company was also required to pay certain fees to the lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20 % to 0.40 %, with the applicable rate also determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement.
The Prior Credit Agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limited, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds, qualifications and “baskets.” In addition, the Prior Credit Agreement contained financial performance covenants, which required the Company to maintain (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 (subject to a customary “acquisition holiday” provision that allows the maximum total net leverage ratio to increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period ending on or following the date of a permitted acquisition by the Company in excess of $ 100.0 million), and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Prior Credit Agreement during the period ended October 31, 2021.
The obligations of HealthEquity under the Prior Credit Agreement were required to be unconditionally guaranteed by WageWorks and Fort Effect Corp and were secured by security interests in substantially all assets of HealthEquity and the guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Performance restricted stock units. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company awarded 249,750 performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") subject to a market condition based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 2000 index as measured on January 31, 2024. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine that the grant date fair value of the awards was $ 22.4 million. Compensation expense is recorded if the service condition is met regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. The market condition allows for a range of vesting from 0 % to 200 % based on the level of performance achieved. The PRSUs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors.
Note 10. Fair value
Fair value measurements are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2—inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3—unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 instruments and are valued based on publicly available daily net asset values. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Notes are valued based upon quoted market prices and are considered Level 2 instruments because the markets in which the Notes trade are not considered active markets. As of October 31, 2021, the fair value of the Notes was $ 605.2 million.
The Term Loan Facility is considered a Level 2 instrument and recorded at book value in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Term Loan Facility reprices frequently due to variable interest rate terms and entails no significant changes in credit risk. As a result, the fair value of the Term Loan Facility approximates carrying value.
The Prior Term Loan Facility was considered a Level 2 instrument and recorded at book value in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Prior Term Loan Facility repriced frequently due to variable interest rate terms and entailed no significant changes in credit risk. As a result, the fair value of the Prior Term Loan Facility approximated carrying value.
The contingent consideration liability resulting from the Luum Acquisition was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs. The estimate of fair value of the contingent consideration obligation required subjective assumptions to be made regarding revenue growth rates, discount rates, peer revenue volatilities, and probabilities assigned to various potential business result scenarios and was determined using probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving certain revenue targets. The fair value measurement was based on inputs unobservable in the market and thus represented a level 3 measurement. On October 31, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement to pay $ 6.0 million in satisfaction of the contingent consideration liability, and accordingly, the liability was transferred out of Level 3 as it was no longer measured at fair value. For further information, see Note 3—Business combination.
The following table reconciles the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the period presented:
(in thousands) Carrying amount

Note 11. Subsequent events
In April 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Further for $ 500 million. Further is a leading provider of HSA and other CDB administration services, with approximately 580,000 HSAs and $ 1.9 billion of HSA Assets. In September 2021, the terms of the acquisition were amended pursuant to two agreements: (1) an amended agreement to acquire Further (other than VEBA, as described below) for $ 455 million, which closed on November 1, 2021, and (2) an agreement to acquire all cash balances and investment assets included in any voluntary employee beneficiary association (“VEBA”) account that is funding a health reimbursement arrangement (either Section 501(c)(9) or Section 115 trusts) and all contracts related exclusively thereto, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, for a maximum purchase price of $ 45 million, calculated based on the actual amount of VEBA assets transferred relative to the total amount of VEBA assets as of April 30, 2021. On December 3, 2021, the parties agreed to terminate the agreement to acquire the Further VEBA business. The initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete, pending identification and measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
On December 6, 2021, HealthEquity entered into a definitive agreement with Health Savings Administrators, L.L.C. (“HealthSavings”) to transition the custody of HealthSavings’ HSA portfolio to HealthEquity. The definitive agreement provides a $ 60 million purchase price for approximately $ 1.3 billion of HSA assets held in approximately 87,000 HSAs. Given that a significant portion of the HSA assets are currently invested, HealthSavings and HealthEquity are working closely to coordinate an in-kind transfer of most of the invested assets. The transition of HealthSavings’ HSAs to the HealthEquity platform is expected to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
