On August 17, 2026, in connection with its acquisition of Talkspace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Talkspace”), Universal Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), borrowed $400 million under a delayed draw term loan facility (the “DDTL Facility”) established pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2010, and as amended and restated at various times from March, 2011 to July, 2026, among the Company, as borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, as lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

Additional funds were borrowed in connection with the Talkspace acquisition under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The material terms of the Credit Agreement were previously reported under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Resources – Credit Facilities and Outstanding Debt Securities in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended June 30, 2026, and are incorporated herein by reference. The borrowings under the DDTL Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility constitute direct financial obligations of the Company.

On August 17, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 9, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, UHS Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Talkspace, whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Talkspace with Talkspace being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Talkspace became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Talkspace common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Talkspace Common Stock”) (other than shares of Talkspace Common Stock canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement), automatically converted into the right to receive $5.25 in cash, without interest. In connection with the Transactions, vested stock options and restricted stock units granted under Talkspace’s equity incentive plans were cancelled, and certain holders thereof became entitled to transaction proceeds. Unvested stock options and restricted stock units granted under Talkspace’s equity incentive plans were converted into equivalent equity awards in respect of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The Company financed the purchase price with the proceeds from borrowings under the DDTL Facility and Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement.

The Company and Talkspace issued a joint press release on August 17, 2026 announcing the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
