| Item 8. | Identification and Classification of Members of the Group |
The Reporting Person is a party to a Second Amended and Restated Voting Agreement by and among Benefitfocus, Inc. (the “Company”), Oak Investment Partners XII, Limited Partnership (“Oak”), Mason Holland, and GS Capital Partners VI Parallel, L.P., GS Capital Partners VI Offshore Fund, L.P., GS Capital Partners VI Fund, L.P. and GS Capital Partners VI GmbH & CO. KG (collectively, the “GS Investing Entities”) (the “Voting Agreement”).
The Voting Agreement provides that, with respect to election for directors, each party thereto agrees to vote his, her or its shares in favor of: (i) two individuals nominated by GS Capital Partners VI Parallel, L.P., for as long as The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS Group”) and its affiliates hold 10% or more of the fully diluted equity interest in the Company, (ii) one individual nominated by Oak for as long as Oak and its affiliates hold 5% or more of the fully diluted equity interest in the Company, and (iii) for each of the Reporting Person and Mr. Holland as long as each holds shares equal to or in excess of 50% of the number of shares each beneficially held upon entering into the Voting Agreement. Additionally, the Voting Agreement provides that each party thereto agrees not to vote for the removal of the foregoing directors unless such removal is directed or approved by the party that nominated such director. The Voting Agreement also provides that so long as a nominee of GS Group or its affiliate serves as one of the Company’s directors and to the extent permitted by the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, that director has a right to serve on the Company’s nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees; this right will terminate when (i) the Company ceases to be a “controlled company” under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing rules or (ii) an affiliate of GS Group ceases to be, either alone or as part of a group, a stockholder of the Company whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s voting stock results in the Company being a “controlled company,” whichever event occurs first. The Voting Agreement will terminate on September 23, 2018, and will terminate as to any party at such time as such party no longer has a right to nominate a director pursuant to the Voting Agreement.
The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned collectively by the GS Investing Entities, Oak, the Reporting Person and Mr. Holland, based on available information, is 19,638,127, which represents approximately 76.3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options that are immediately exercisable).
The share ownership reported for the Reporting Person does not include any shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, beneficially owned by the other parties to the Voting Agreement, except to the extent disclosed in this Schedule 13G. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares for the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, beneficially owned by the other parties to the Voting Agreement, except to the extent disclosed in this Schedule 13G.
