No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. |
17
(d) | If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, as provided in this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. |
(e) | The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each Purchaser, any affiliate of each Purchaser, each employee, officer, director, partner and member of such affiliate and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser or such affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and the Guarantor and to each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act. |
10. | (a) | If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Notes which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Notes on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Memorandum, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Notes. |
18
(b) | If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default. |
(c) | If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Notes of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement (or, with respect to an Additional Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Notes) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default. |
11. | The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, or the Company, the Guarantor or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company and the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. |
12. | If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company and the Guarantor shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8(h)(i), (iii), (iv) or (v)), any Notes are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantor will reimburse the Purchasers through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes, but the Company and the Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof. |
13. | In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by you jointly, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives jointly will be binding upon all the Purchasers. |
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to you as the Representatives in care of: Morgan Stanley & Co.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Guarantor, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.
19
14. | This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantor and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the officers and directors of the Guarantor, the employees, officers and directors of each Purchaser, any affiliate of each Purchaser, each employee, officer, director, partner and member of such affiliate and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantor, any Purchaser or such affiliate, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase. |
15. | Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. |
16. | The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Guarantor, (iii) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Guarantor have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company and the Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Purchaser, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. |
17. | The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that the Purchasers’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Purchasers’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company, Guarantor and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and the Guarantor hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or the Guarantor may have against the Purchasers with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company and the Guarantor by such Purchasers’ investment banking divisions. The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that each of the Purchasers is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
18. | This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Company, the Guarantor and the Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. |
19. | THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and the Guarantor agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or your engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts. |
20. | The Company, the Guarantor and each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. |
20
21. | This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. |
22. | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Guarantor (and the Company’s and the Guarantor’s employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company or the Guarantor relating to that treatment and structure, without the Purchasers’ imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means US federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment. |
23. | If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue. |
24. | In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
For purposes of foregoing two paragraphs, “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b) or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
25. | Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. |
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Purchasers, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantor. It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Purchasers is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Purchasers, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company for examination upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of the signers thereof.

PRICING TERM SHEET | STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL |
Dated November 14, 2022 |
Envestnet, Inc.
2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027
The information in this pricing term sheet relates to the offering (the “Offering”) by Envestnet, Inc. (the “Issuer”) of its 2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) and should be read together with the preliminary offering memorandum dated November 14, 2022 (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) relating to the Offering (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”). The information in this pricing term sheet supplements the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent that it is inconsistent therewith. Terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
The Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or any other jurisdiction, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).
Issuer: | Envestnet, Inc. (NYSE: ENV) |
Guarantor: | Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. |
Securities Offered: | 2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027 |
Offering Size: | $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount (or $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes solely to cover over-allotments in full) |
Offering Price: | 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from the Settlement Date |
Use of Proceeds: | The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses, will be approximately $485.5 million or approximately $558.4 million assuming the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full. |
The Issuer intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to repurchase $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% convertible notes due 2023 for an aggregate of approximately $312.4 million plus accrued interest in cash and $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.75% convertible notes due 2025 for an aggregate of approximately $181.8 million plus accrued interest in cash (collectively, the “convertible notes”) pursuant to separate and individually negotiated transactions with certain holders of the convertible notes. |
Schedule III-1
The Issuer has entered into capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof and other financial institutions (collectively, the “option counterparties”). The Issuer expects to use approximately $69.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. | |
If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Issuer may use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties, and the remaining net proceeds as described above. | |
The Issuer intends to use the remaining net proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include selective strategic investments through acquisitions, alliances or other transactions. | |
Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, the Issuer may invest the net proceeds in marketable securities or other investments. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. | |
Trade Date: | November 15, 2022 |
Settlement Date: | November 17, 2022 |
Maturity: | December 1, 2027, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted |
Interest Rate: | 2.625% per year payable semi-annually in arrears in cash |
Interest Payment Dates: | June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2023 (long first interest period) |
Optional Redemption: | The Issuer may not redeem the Notes prior to December 5, 2025. The Issuer may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after December 5, 2025 if the last reported sale price of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, any of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Issuer provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Issuer is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically. |
Fundamental Change: | If the Issuer undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the heading ‘‘Description of the Notes—Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Purchase Notes’’) prior to maturity, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Issuer to purchase all or any portion of their Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change purchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. The Issuer will pay the fundamental change purchase price in cash. See “Description of the Notes—Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Purchase Notes” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. |

Modification to Conversion Period and Related Terms
The “conversion period” for the Notes during which settlement amounts due upon conversion may be determined will be 60 consecutive trading days instead of 50 consecutive trading days as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Accordingly, the following changes to the definition of the term “conversion period” and related changes to the terms of the Notes described under “Description of the Notes” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum in order to effect this modification are described below. Defined terms used below shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
Settlement amounts will be computed as follows:
● | if we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation through stock settlement, we will deliver to the converting holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of notes being converted a number of shares of our common stock equal to the conversion rate in effect on the conversion date (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares); |
● | if we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation through cash settlement, we will pay to the converting holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the daily conversion values (as defined below) for each of the 60 consecutive trading days during the related conversion period; and |
● | if we elect (or are deemed to have elected) to satisfy our conversion obligation through combination settlement, we will deliver to holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of notes being converted a settlement amount equal to the sum of the daily settlement amounts (as defined below) for each of the 60 consecutive trading days during the related conversion period. |
“Conversion period” with respect to the Notes means:
● | if the relevant conversion date occurs prior to the 65th scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, the 60 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the second trading day immediately following the related conversion date; |
● | if the relevant conversion date occurs on or after the date of our issuance of a notice of redemption with respect to the notes as described under “—Optional Redemption” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and prior to the redemption date, the 60 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 61st scheduled trading day immediately preceding such redemption date; and |
Schedule III-4
● | if the relevant conversion date occurs on or after the final settlement method election date, the 60 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 61st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. |
The “daily settlement amount,” for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes validly surrendered for conversion, and for each trading day during the conversion period, will consist of:
(1) | cash equal to the lesser of (i) a dollar amount per $1,000 principal amount of notes to be received upon conversion as specified by us in the notice regarding our chosen settlement method (the “specified dollar amount”), if any, divided by 60 (such quotient being referred to as the “daily measurement value”) and (ii) the daily conversion value; and |
(2) | to the extent the daily conversion value exceeds the daily measurement value, a number of shares equal to (i) the difference between the daily conversion value and the daily measurement value, divided by (ii) the daily VWAP of our common stock for such trading day. |
“Daily conversion value” means, for each trading day during the conversion period, one-sixtieth (1/60th) of the product of (i) the conversion rate on such trading day and (ii) the daily VWAP of our common stock on such trading day.
As described under “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption,” in the case of any optional redemption, we will provide not less than 70 nor more than 90 scheduled trading days’ notice before the redemption date to the trustee, the paying agent and each holder of notes, and the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (unless the redemption date falls after a regular record date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding interest payment date, in which case we will pay the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record as of the close of business on such regular record date, and the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed).
In connection with an issuance or distribution described in the bullet points under the caption “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion upon Specified Corporate Events—Conversion upon Certain Distributions,” we must notify holders (with a copy to the trustee and conversion agent) at least 70 scheduled trading days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution. Once we have given such notice, holders may surrender their notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date and our announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

As representatives of the several initial purchasers
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (collectively, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Envestnet, Inc. (the “Company”) providing for the offering (the “Offering”) by the several initial purchasers, including the Representatives named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), of the Company’s convertible notes.
In order to induce the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to participate in the Offering, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, he or she will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing to and including the date 60 days after the date of the final offering memorandum relating to the Offering (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Annex III-1
The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (a) transactions by the undersigned relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers by the undersigned of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift or charitable contribution; (c) distributions by the undersigned of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; (d) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 Plan”) for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that such 10b5-1 Plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such 10b5-1 Plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned during the Restricted Period; (e) transfers of shares of Common Stock to family members of, and other persons sharing a household with, the undersigned in connection with personal estate planning matters; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b), (c), or (e), (A) the donee, distributee or transferee shall enter into a written agreement, satisfactory to the Representatives, pursuant to which the donee, distributee or transferee shall agree to receive and hold such shares of Common Stock or security convertible into Common Stock subject to the provisions hereof and (B) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in respect of the transfer or distribution during the Restricted Period; (f) the exercise of options granted under the Company’s equity-based incentive plans, provided that the shares of Common Stock delivered upon such exercise are subject to the restrictions set forth in the forgoing sentence; (g) the surrender or forfeiture of shares of Common Stock to the Company in a transaction exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon exercise or vesting of stock options, restricted stock awards or similar equity awards; (h) transfers of shares of Common Stock to the Company in connection with the cashless exercise of options that would otherwise expire, other than a “broker-assisted” cashless exercise; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock received in connection with the cashless exercise of options shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph; or (i) sales of Common Stock under 10b5-1 Plans in existence on the date hereof, provided that any filing under the Exchange Act as a result of such sale under this clause (i) shall include a footnote stating that such sale was made pursuant to an existing 10b5-1 Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, “family members” shall mean the spouse, lineal descendant (including adopted and “step” lineal descendants), father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, he, she or it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, other than in connection with the Offering.
In addition, the undersigned consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned, except in compliance with this agreement.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Initial Purchasers solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Representatives may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to you in connection with the Offering, the Representatives and the other Initial Purchasers are not making a recommendation to you to enter into this agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Representatives or any Initial Purchaser is making such a recommendation.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Initial Purchasers are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. It is understood, however, that if the Company notifies you, prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering or if the Purchase Agreement is terminated then this agreement shall terminate.
