Passport

On May 28, 2019, UHC, Passport Health Solutions, LLC (“PHS I”), the Company and EVH Passport entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Passport APA”), which provided for the sale of substantially all of the assets of UHC and PHS I, including UHC’s Kentucky Medicaid contract (the “Passport Medicaid Contract”), to EVH Passport for a purchase price of $70.0 million in cash and the issuance of a 30% interest in EVH Passport (the “Passport Purchase Price”) to The University of Louisville, the University of Louisville Physicians, University Medical Center, the Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence, Norton Healthcare, Inc. and the Louisville/Jefferson County Primary Care Association (collectively, the “Sponsors”).

On June 18, 2019, the Company contributed $40.0 million to UHC in the form of an advance for regulatory capital requirements under an agreement with UHC (the “Passport Note”). The Passport Note carried a fixed interest rate of 6.5% per annum. Additionally, on June 6, 2019, the Company and UHC entered into an Indemnity Agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”), with an insurance company (the “Surety”). The Surety issued a performance bond in the amount of $25.0 million to secure UHC’s performance under its Medicaid Contract. Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, the Company and UHC were jointly and severally liable to the Surety in the maximum amount of the bond, plus certain costs of the Surety, in the event of losses arising under the bond. The bond’s original expiry date was June 30, 2020 and during the three months ended June 30, 2020, was extended to December 31, 2020. The bond was released in October 2020.

On December 30, 2019, UHC, PHS I, the Company and EVH Passport consummated the transactions contemplated by the Passport APA (the “Passport Closing”). At the Passport Closing, $16.2 million of the cash Passport Purchase Price was held back until such time as PHS I delivers to EVH Passport certain owned real property and improvements free and clear of all encumbrances. In addition, at the Passport Closing, EVH Passport and UHC entered into an agreement that provided for the administration and assumption of the financial risks by EVH Passport of UHC’s dual eligible special needs business (the “DNP Business”) until such time as EVH Passport became certified as a Medicare Advantage Organization and the D-SNP Business could be transferred to EVH Passport. On October 1, 2020, the D-SNP Business was transferred from UHC to EVH Passport. At the Passport Closing, EVH Passport assumed UHC’s obligations under the Passport Note and the Indemnity Agreement.

On July 16, 2020, EVH Passport, Evolent Health LLC and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Molina APA”), which contemplated the sale by EVH Passport to Molina of certain assets, including certain intellectual property rights of EVH Passport and EVH Passport’s rights under the Passport Medicaid Contract. On September 1, 2020, EVH Passport and Molina consummated the transactions contemplated by the Molina APA (the “Molina Closing”), and the Passport Medicaid Contract was novated to Molina. As a result, EVH Passport began to wind down its business. In connection with the Molina Closing, Molina deposited $20.0 million in cash in escrow, which was subsequently released to EVH Passport in January 2021. In addition, at the Molina Closing, Molina and EVH Passport entered into an agreement that provided for the assumption of the financial risks by Molina of the D-SNP Business until such time as Molina’s Kentucky health plan becomes certified as a Medicare Advantage Organization and the D-SNP Business is transferred Molina. The Company and EVH Passport continued to administer the D-SNP Business until January 1, 2021, at which time Molina became responsible for its administration until the D-SNP Business is officially transferred to Molina effective September 1, 2021.

Prior to the Molina Closing, the Company accounted for its investment in EVH Passport as an unconsolidated variable interest entity under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the transaction, the Company concluded that a reconsideration event occurred whereby EVH Passport was determined to be a voting interest entity and that Evolent had a controlling financial interest in EVH Passport; accordingly, the Company consolidated EVH Passport as of September 1, 2020 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition, as the Company concluded that assets acquired as a result of the consolidation did not meet the criteria to be classified as a business under GAAP. Following the Molina Closing and consolidation of EVH Passport in the Company’s consolidated financials, on November 16, 2020, EVH Passport redeemed the Sponsors’ equity interests in EVH Passport for $20.0 million in cash in accordance with the terms of EVH Passport’s Stockholders’ Agreement, and, as a result, EVH Passport became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As part of the consolidation, the Company recorded assets primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $159.8 million, available for sale securities of $88.6 million, receivables related to unsettled sales of securities of $43.0 million and other assets of $50.2 million and total liabilities primarily comprised of reserve for claims and performance-based arrangements of $164.8 million and accrued liabilities of $50.0 million. Subsequent to winddown activities, any remaining capital will be distributed to the Company subject to regulatory approval from the Kentucky Department of Insurance. In addition, the Passport Note was eliminated upon consolidation, and as of December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the $40.0 million Passport Note was repaid in full by EVH Passport including approximately $3.6 million of accrued interest.

During the first quarter of 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Molina APA, EVH Passport received a cash payment from Molina in the amount of $23.0 million based on the number of enrollees above a certain threshold in the D-SNP Business and Molina's Medicaid plan following the open enrollment period for plan year 2021. The foregoing amount represents 50% of the payment that EVH Passport is eligible to receive pursuant to the terms of the Molina APA based on the number of such enrollees. The remaining 50% will be payable in the first quarter of 2022 subject to the satisfaction of certain contingencies.

Repositioning and Other Changes

We continually assess opportunities to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency to better align our expenses with revenues, while continuing to make investments in our solutions, systems and people that we believe are important to our long-term goals. Across 2020, we divested or agreed to divest a majority of our health plan assets, including certain assets of EVH Passport, which represented a significant revenue stream for the Company. In parallel with these divestitures, we contracted with a third-party vendor to review our operating model and organizational design in order to improve our profitability, create value through our solutions and invest in strategic opportunities in future periods.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we committed to certain operational efficiency and profitability actions that we are taking in order to accomplish these objectives (“Repositioning Plan”). These actions included making organizational changes across our business as well as other profitability initiatives expected to result in reductions in force, re-aligning of resources as well as other potential operational efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. The Repositioning Plan is expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million and $6.0 million of repositioning costs in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the Repositioning Plan.
