Dear Shareholder:

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our 20182019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting will be held on May 10, 201816, 2019 at 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 260, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

Our formal agenda for this year’s meeting is to vote on the election of directors; to vote, on an advisory basis, on 20172018 executive compensation; and to ratify the selection of independent auditors for 2018.2019. In addition, we will report to you on the highlights of 20172018 and discuss the outlook for our business in 2018.

2019.

Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, your vote on these matters is important to us. Shareholders of record can vote their shares via the Internet, by using a toll‑free telephone number or by requesting and completing a proxy card and mailing it in the return envelope provided. If you hold shares through your broker or other intermediary, that person or institution will provide you with instructions on how to vote your shares.

If you are a beneficial holder of our shares, we urge you to give voting instructions to your broker so that your vote can be counted. This is especially important since the New York Stock Exchange does not allow brokers to cast votes with respect to the election of directors or the advisory vote on executive compensation unless they have received instructions from the beneficial owner of shares.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,

You have one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned at the close of business on March 16, 2018.

The proxy card indicates the number of shares of common stock you are entitled to vote.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Many of our shareholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some differences between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.


Shareholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record and these proxy materials are being sent to you directly. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may also vote by telephone or via the Internet as described below under the heading “Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting—May I vote by telephone or via the Internet?” or you may vote your proxy card by mail.

Beneficial Owner

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and our proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee on how to vote your shares and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may only vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting if you follow the instructions described below under the heading “Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting—How do I vote in person at the Annual Meeting?” and your broker or nominee has provided a voting instruction card forsigned proxy giving you to use in directing your broker or nominee as to howthe right to vote yourthe shares. If you would like to vote by telephone or on the Internet, you should read the information described below under the heading “Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting—May I vote by telephone or via the Internet?”

How do I vote by proxy if I am a shareholder of record?

If you are a shareholder of record, you must properly submit your proxy card (by telephone, via the Internet or by mail) so that it is received by us in time to vote. Your “proxy” (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card (including electronic signatures in the case of Internet or telephonic voting) but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board:

·

“FOR” the election of each Class I director nominee and Class III director nominees; the election of each Class I director;

·

“FOR” the approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation; and

·

 “FOR” the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

If any other matter is presented, your proxy will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the individuals named on the proxy card. As of the date of printing this proxy statement, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

Table of Contents

How do I give voting instructions if I am a beneficial owner?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, the broker will ask you how you want your shares to be voted. If you give the broker instructions, the broker will vote your shares as you direct. If your broker does not receive instructions from you about how your shares are to be voted, one of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal. Pursuant to rules of the New York Stock Exchange which we refer to as the NYSE,(the “NYSE”), brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters, but they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares on “non‑routine” matters. Brokers holding shares beneficially owned by their clients do not have the ability to cast votes with respect to the election of directors or executive compensation unless they have received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. It is therefore important that you provide instructions to your broker if your shares are beneficially held by a broker so that your vote with respect to directors and on the advisory vote on executive compensation, and any other matters treated as non‑routine by the NYSE, is counted.

May I vote by telephone or via the Internet?

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record, you have a choice of voting over the Internet, voting by telephone using a toll‑free telephone number or voting by requesting and completing a proxy card and mailing it in the return envelope provided. We encourage you to vote by telephone or over the Internet because your vote is then tabulated faster than if you mailed it. Please note that there are separate telephone and Internet arrangements depending on whether you are a shareholder of record (that is, if you hold your stock in your own name), or whether you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name” (that is, if your stock is held in the name of your broker or bank).

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by telephone, or electronically via the Internet, or by following the instructions provided on the proxy card.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name,”name”, you will need to contact your bankbroker or brokerbank to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet.


The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. If you vote via the Internet, you may incur costs, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies. You will be responsible for those costs.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote. Voting by telephone or over the Internet or returning your proxy card by mail will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote.

May I revoke my proxy or my voting instructions?

Yes. If you change your mind after you vote, if you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy by following any of the procedures described below. To revoke your proxy:

·

Send in another signed proxy with a later date or resubmit your vote by telephone or the Internet;

·

Send a letter revoking your proxy to Envestnet’s Corporate Secretary at 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois, 60601; or

·

Attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name,”name”, you will need to contact your bankbroker or brokerbank to determine how to revoke your voting instructions.

If you wish to revoke your proxy or voting instructions, you must do so in sufficient time to permit the necessary examination and tabulation of the subsequent proxy or revocation before the vote is taken.

Table of Contents

How do I vote in person at the Annual Meeting?

You may vote shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record in person at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, please bring proof of identification. Shares held in “street name” may be voted in person by you only if you obtain a signed proxy from the shareholder of record giving you the right to vote the shares. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring to the Annual Meeting an account statement or letter from the broker, bank or other nominee indicating that you are the owner of the shares, and a signed proxy from the shareholder of record giving you the right to vote the shares. The account statement or letter must show that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on March 16, 2018.

15, 2019. 

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, Envestnet recommends that you vote your shares in advance as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

What votes need to be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

To have a quorum for our Annual Meeting, the holders of a majority of our shares of common stock outstanding as of March 16, 201815, 2019 must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Directors are elected by a plurality vote, which means that the twoone nominee for Class I director and three nominees for Class IIII directors receiving the most affirmative votes will be elected. However, if the majority of the votes cast for a director are withheld, then notwithstanding the valid election of such director, our by‑laws provide that such director will voluntarily tender his resignation for consideration by our Board. Our Board will determine whether to accept the resignation of such director. All other matters submitted for shareholder approval require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

How are votes counted?

In the election of Envestnet directors, your vote may be cast “FOR��“FOR” all of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. Your vote may be cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” or you may “ABSTAIN” with respect to the proposals relating to the advisory vote on executive compensation and the ratification of Envestnet’s independent auditors. If you sign (including electronic signatures in the case of Internet or telephonic voting) your proxy card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. If you sign (including electronic signatures in the case of Internet or telephonic voting) your broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in the broker’s discretion with respect to routine matters but will not be voted with respect to non‑routine matters. As described in “How“Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting —How do I give voting instructions if I am a beneficial holder?” the election of directors and the advisory vote on executive compensation are considered non‑routine matters. We will appoint one or more inspectors of election to count votes cast in person or by proxy.



What is the effect of broker non‑votes and abstentions?

A broker “non‑vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Common stock owned by shareholders electing to abstain from voting with respect to any proposal will be counted towards the presence of a quorum. Common stock that is beneficially owned and is voted by the beneficiarybeneficial holder through a broker or bank will be counted towards the presence of a quorum, even if there are broker non‑votes with respect to some proposals, as long as the broker votes on at least one proposal. Broker “non‑votes” will not be considered present and voting with respect to elections of directors or other matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, broker “non‑votes” will have no direct effect on the outcome of any of the proposals. Abstentions will be considered present and voting and will have the impact of a vote against a proposal.

Table of Contents

Are there any voting agreements with respect to our common stock?

No. 

No.

What are the costs of soliciting these proxies and who will pay them?

Envestnet will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. Our directors and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by fax or other electronic means of communication, or in person. We will reimburse banks, brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you.

Where can I find the voting results?

We will publishreport the voting results in a Form 8‑K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), within four business days after the Annual Meeting. You can find the Form 8‑K at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.envestnet.com.

Will Envestnet’s independent auditors attend the Annual Meeting?

Representatives of KPMG LLP will attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish and will be available to respond to questions from shareholders.

Do directors attend the Annual Meeting?

Directors are encouraged to attend all meetings of shareholders called by Envestnet. All sevensix of our independent directors, who were members of our Board at the time, attended the 20172018 Annual Meeting.

Can a shareholder, employee or other interested party communicate directly with our Board? If so, how?

Our Board provides a process for shareholders, employees or other interested parties to send communications to our Board. Shareholders, employees or other interested parties wanting to contact the Board, the independent directors, the Chairman of the Board, the lead independent director, the chairperson of any Board committee, or any other director, as to accounting or auditing matters or any other matters, may send an email to corpsecy@envestnet.com. Alternatively, shareholders, employees or other interested parties may send written communications to the Board c/o Corporate Secretary, 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois, 60601, although mail is not as prompt as e‑mail. Communication with the Board may be anonymous. The Secretary will forward all communications addressed to the Board, to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee, who will then determine when it is appropriate to distribute such communications to other members of the Board or to management.

Whom should I call if I have any questions?

If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or voting, please contact Shelly O’Brien, our Corporate Secretary, at (312) 827‑2800 or at corpsecy@envestnet.com.

The Board of Directors

Our Board oversees our business and monitors the performance of management. The directors keep themselves up‑to‑date on the Company by discussing matters with the CEO, other key executives and our principal external advisors, such as outside legal counsel, outside auditors, investment bankers and other consultants, by reading the reports and other materials that we send them regularly and by participating in Board and committee meetings.

The Board usually meets sixseven times per year in regularly scheduled meetings, but will meet more often if necessary. From time to time, the Board has telephonic information sessions on various topics. The Board met twelveeleven times, including these telephonic conferences,sessions, during 2017.2018. All of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board of which they were a member held while they were in office during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Director Independence

In January 2018,2019, our Board determined that the following directors are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE: Luis Aguilar, Ross Chapin, Gayle Crowell, James Fox, James Johnson,Valerie Mosley, Charles Roame and Gregory Smith. These independent directors constitute substantially more than a majority of Envestnet’s Board. In making its determination of independence, the Board applied the categorical standards for director independence set forth in the NYSE’s rules and therefore determined that no other material relationships existed between us and these directors. The Board also considered the other directorships held by the independent directors and determined that none of these directorships constituted a material relationship with us.

What are our stock ownership guidelines and an anti-hedging policy?

for independent directors?

In order to align the interests of the non-employee members of the Board with the long-term interests of the Corporation’sour shareholders, all non-employee directors must maintain an ownership level in our common stock equal to or greater than $300,000. Directors have four years to come into compliance with the ownership guidelines. For those persons who were directors when the guidelines were adopted, they need to be in compliance by October 28, 2019. For directors appointed after that time, they have four years from their date of appointment to the Board to come into compliance with the ownership guideline.

In addition,guidelines.


What restrictions do we have with respect to short-term or speculative transactions, hedging or pledging with respect to our insider trading policy prohibits oursecurities?
We consider it improper and inappropriate for directors, officers, employees, consultants and temporary contract workers from hedging the economic risk of ownership of(whom we refer to as “covered persons”) to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in our common stock as well assecurities. Consequently, we have adopted a policy that prohibits covered persons from engaging in short sales of our securities (sales of securities that are not then owned), including “sales against the box” (sales with delayed delivery) and in transactions in publicly traded options on our securities (such as puts, calls and other derivative securities) on an exchange or in any other organized market. We also only allow “standing orders” for a brief period of time.
Furthermore, we believe that certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, may result in a misalignment of our interests and the interests of covered persons. Accordingly, we have adopted a policy that prohibits hedging transactions and all other similar forms of monetization transactions. For purposes of this policy, hedging includes the purchase of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), or engaging in any other transaction, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities.

10

Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold by the broker if a covered person fails to meet a margin call or by the lender in foreclosure if the covered person defaults on the loan. For these reasons, covered persons are prohibited from holding our securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan unless the covered person clearly demonstrates the ability the repay any obligations arising under the margin account or any loan without resorting to the securities held in the margin account or pledged securities in the case of a loan.

What is our Board leadership structure?

The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board evaluates the Board’s leadership structure on a regular basis.

While the Board does not have a policy with respect to combining or separating the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions, under the current Board leadership structure, the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are combined into one role. Mr. Bergman has served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since 1999. Effective as of November 19, 2015, Anil Arora was appointed Vice Chairman. The independent directors of the Board have designated one lead director. The lead director’s responsibilities include, among other things, presiding over all executive sessions of the non‑employee directors, where non‑employee directors meet outside the presence of the management directors, presiding at all other meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, servesserving as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors discussesand discussing with the Chairman all information sent to the

11


Board, and discusses with the Chairman theincluding meeting agendas of the Board.agendas. The other responsibilities of the lead director are determined by the Board from time to time. Ross Chapin has been designated the lead director.

In considering its leadership structure, the Board takes a number of factors into account. Based on its most recent review of the leadership structure, the Board believesdetermined that the current structure is appropriate for our Company because it allows for effective evaluation and execution of our strategies and operations management. In addition, a number of Board and Committeecommittee processes and procedures, including regular executive sessions of non‑employee directors and annual performance evaluations, provide substantial independent oversight of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s performance.

How does the Board oversee risk?

Envestnet’s policies and procedures relating to risk assessment and risk management are overseen by our Board. The Board takes an enterprise‑wide approach to risk management that is designed to support our business plans at a reasonable level of risk. A fundamental part of risk assessment and risk management is not only understanding the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for our Company. The Board annually approves our business plan, giving consideration to risk management. The involvement of the Board in setting our business strategy is a key part of its assessment of management’s risk tolerance and also a determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our Company.

The Audit Committee of the Board reviews our policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management and discusses with management our major financial risk exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures.

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation risk.

The Compensation Committee assesses our executive compensation programs to ascertain any potential material risks that may be created by the compensation program.

In conducting this assessment, the Compensation Committee focused on our incentive compensation programs in order to identify any general areas of risk or potential for unintended consequences that exist in the design of our compensation programsprograms; and to evaluate our incentive plans relative to our enterprise risks to identify potential areas of concern, if any.

The Compensation Committee considered the findings of this assessment of compensation policies and practices and determined that our compensation programs are designed and administered with the appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy. Envestnet’sThe Company's policies and practices are not structured to encourage executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks, and therefore do not create risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

The Compliance and Information Security Committee reviews potential risk related to regulatory compliance requirements and reviews and assesses our regulatory compliance programs. The Compliance and Information Security Committee also reviews potential risk related to our information technology systems, including cybersecurity risk, and reviews and assesses our information technology security framework.

How do directors evaluate their performance?

The Board and each committee of the Board conduct a formal annual self‑evaluationsevaluation to assess the business skills, experience and background represented on the Board and to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. During the year, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives input on the Board’s performance from directors and discusses the input with the full Board and oversees the full Board’s review of its performance. Each committee also discusses the input with respect to the committee and the review of its performance.self-evaluation process. The self‑assessments focusevaluation focuses on whether the Board is operating effectively and on areas in which the Board or management believes that the Board or any of its committees could improve.

The self-evaluation may be in the form of written or oral questionnaires or interviews and may be conducted by a third party. Each year the Nominating and Governance Committee discusses and considers the appropriate approach and approves the form of the self-evaluation.

12



The results of the self-evaluation are reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and summarized for the full Board. Any recommendations for improvement are reviewed and appropriate plans are initiated to address such recommendations by the full Board.    

How are directors nominated?

In accordance with its charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee identifies potential nominees for directors from various sources. TheWhen reviewing candidates qualifications, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviewsconsiders the qualificationsrelevance of these persons to determine whether they might be a good candidate for membership on the Board.their experience and background as well as their independence, judgment and understanding of our business and related industries. The Nominating and Governance Committee includes a review of the person’s judgment, experience, independence, understanding of our business or other related industries and such other factors as the Nominating and Governance Committee determines are relevant in light of the needs of the Board and our Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee will select qualified candidates and review its recommendations with the Board, which will decide whether to nominate the person for election to the Board at an annual meeting. Between annual meetings, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, can approve additions to the Board.

Envestnet does not have a formal

The Board diversity policy. However,believes that it is important that the Board considers diversity in professional experience and professional training in recommending nominees.members represent a diverse mix of viewpoints.  The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determineperiodically assess the appropriate characteristics,expertise, experience, skills and experience forbackgrounds of its directors in light of the needs of the Board, asincluding the extent to which the current composition of the Board reflects a wholediverse mix of knowledge, experience, skills and its individual members.backgrounds. The skills and backgrounds collectively represented on the Board should reflect the diverse nature of the business environment in which the Company operates.  In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee take into account numerous factors such as the individual’s general understanding of marketing, financethe Company’s business, or aspects thereof, and other disciplinesthe industry in which it operates, skills relevant to the success of a publicly traded company; understanding of our business;company, gender, race, education and professional background, including current employment and other Board memberships; reputation for integrity;memberships, and any other factors they consider to be relevant. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group that can best perpetuateadvance the success of the business and represent shareholder interestinterests through the exercise of sound judgment, using its diversity of experience.  Any search firm engaged to assist the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee in identifying candidates for appointment to the Board is specifically directed to include diverse candidates.  In determining whether to recommend a director for re‑election, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.

The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews its own performance. In connection with such self‑evaluation, the Nominating and Governance Committee assesses whether it effectively nominates candidates for director in accordance with the above described standards specified by the corporate governance guidelines. See each nominee’s and director’s biography appearing later in this proxy statement for a description of the specific experiences that each such individual brings to our Board.


The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider a shareholder’s recommendation for directors, but the Nominating and Governance Committee has no obligation to recommend such candidates for nomination by the Board. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material is provided for candidates recommended by shareholders, the Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate those candidates by following substantially the same process and applying substantially the same criteria as for candidates recommended by other sources. If a shareholder has a suggestion for candidates for election, the shareholder should mail it to: Corporate Secretary, Envestnet, Inc., 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois, 60601. No person recommended by a shareholder will become a nominee for director and be included in a proxy statement unless the Nominating and Governance Committee recommends, and the Board approves, such person.


If a shareholder desires to nominate a person for election as director at a shareholders’ meeting, that shareholder must comply with Section 5.2 of our By‑by‑laws, which requires notice not more than 120 days nor less than 90 days in advance of the anniversary of the date of the proxy statement provided in connection with the previous year’s annual meetingAnnual Meeting of shareholders.Shareholders.

Compensation Committee interlock and insider participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee of any company that employs any member of the Compensation Committee.

What is our Related Party transactions approval policy and what procedures do we use to implement it?

Our Board has adopted a written Related Party transactions policy. This policy applies to any transaction, arrangement or relationship which we refer to as a Related(a “Related Party Transaction,Transaction”), in which we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, are, or will be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 annually and in which any director, officer, 5% or greater shareholder or certain other related parties or entities each of which we refer to as(each, a Related Party,“Related Party”), has a direct or indirect material interest. We refer to these transactions as Related Party Transactions. Under the policy, the Audit Committee considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction, including:

·

The benefits to us of the proposed Related Party Transaction;

·

The impact on a director’s independence in the event the Related Party is a director, an immediate family member of a director, or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer;

·

The creation of an actual or apparent conflict of interest;

·

The availability of other sources for comparable products or services;

·

The terms of the proposed Related Party Transaction;

·

The Related Party’s interest in the transaction; and

·

The terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally.

The Audit Committee will approve only those Related Party Transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of our Company and our shareholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith.

14


The following types of transactions do not require approval or ratification under this policy:

·

Transactions involving the purchase or sale of products or services in the ordinary course of business, not exceeding $120,000;

·

Transactions in which the Related Party’s interest derives solely from his or her service as a director of another corporation or organization that is a party to the transaction;

·

Transactions in which the Related Party’s interest derives solely from his or her ownership of less than 10% of the equity interest in another person (other than a general partnership interest) which is a party to the transaction;

·

Transactions in which the Related Party’s interest derives solely from his or her service as a director, trustee or officer (or similar position) of a not‑for‑profit organization or charity that receives donations from us;

·

Compensation arrangements of any executive officer (other than an individual who is an immediate family member of a Related Party) that have been approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board and that are reported in our annual meeting proxy statement or would be reported if the executive officer (other than an individual who is an immediate family member of a Related Party) that have been approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board and that are reported in our annual meeting proxy statement or would be reported if the executed officer were a named executive officer; and

·

Director compensation arrangements that have been approved by our Board and that are reported in our annual meeting proxy statement.


What Related Party transactions dodid we have?have in 2018?
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had no Related Party Transactions.

Registration Rights

On March 22, 2004, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain holders of our common stock, or the registration rights agreement, pursuant to which these holders of our common stock are entitled to demand registration rights, Form S‑3 registration rights and piggyback registration rights with respect to the registration of their shares of our common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We refer to shares of our common stock that are subject to the registration rights agreement as “registrable securities.”

In connection with our 2010 initial public offering, which we refer to as our IPO, The EnvestNet Group, Inc., Envestnet’s 41% shareholder prior to the IPO (the “Envestnet Shareholder”), merged with and into Envestnet, with Envestnet being the surviving entity. Upon consummation of the merger of the Envestnet Shareholder with and into Envestnet, certain shareholders of the Envestnet Shareholder are entitled to become a party to the registration rights agreement and to receive each of the registration rights described below.

Demand Registration Rights. The holders of registrable securities have rights, at their request, to have their shares registered for resale under the Securities Act. Holders of at least 50% of registrable securities may demand the registration of their shares on up to two occasions within any 12‑month period if the gross proceeds from the registration of their shares would exceed $15,000,000.

Registration on Form S‑3. In addition to the demand registration rights discussed above, holders of at least 20% of the registrable securities may require that we register their shares of our common stock for public resale on Form S‑3 or similar short‑form registration statement if the gross proceeds from the registration of their shares of our common stock would exceed $5,000,000 and our Company is eligible to use Form S‑3.

Piggyback Registration Rights. The holders of approximately 2.5 million shares of registrable securities have rights to have their shares of our common stock registered for resale under the Securities Act if we register any of our

15


securities, either for our own account or for the account of other shareholders, subject to the right of the underwriters involved in any such transaction to limit the number of shares of our common stock included in an underwritten offering.

The following Related Parties are currently party to the registration rights agreement: Judson Bergman (our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors), William Crager (our President), Scott Grinis (our Chief Technology Officer), Brandon Thomas (our Chief Investment Officer), and James Johnson, a current director. Holders of our registrable securities are entitled to the registration rights described above. Collectively, these Related Parties hold approximately 1.5 million shares covered by the registration rights agreement as of March 16, 2018. 

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers

We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and certain of our officers in addition to the right to indemnification provided to such persons in our certificate of incorporation and by‑laws. These agreements will, among other things, require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, including for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of services by any such person as a director or officer of our Company or as a director or officer of any of our subsidiaries, or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise if any such person serves in such capacity at our request. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and executive officers.

Did our insiders comply with Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting in 2017?

2018?

Our executive officers and directors are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. Except as disclosed in the next sentence, we(the “Exchange Act”). We believe that all of our executive officers and directors complied with all filing requirements imposed by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis during fiscal year 2017. Due to an administrative error, Mr. Bergman was late in reporting an option exercise and related acquisition of stock on Form 4, and Mr. Crager and Ms. O’Brien were each late in reporting two option exercises and related acquisitions of stock on Form 4; the sales of stock associated with the cashless exercise of such options were timely filed on Form 4s and such Form 4s were promptly amended to report the option exercises and related acquisition of stock.

2018.

Our by‑laws provide for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 11 directors and empower our Board to fix the exact number of directors and appoint persons to fill any vacancies on the Board until the next Annual Meeting.

Following the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board has nominated Charles Roame and Gregory Smith as directors of EnvestnetValerie Mosley to each serve a three‑yeartwo-year term to expire at the Annual Meeting in 2021 and Judson Bergman, Anil Arora and Gayle Crowell to each serve a three-year term to expire at the Annual Meeting in 2022 or, in each case, until their respective successors shall have been elected and shall have qualified. Each nominee is currently serving as a director of Envestnet. Our Nominating and Governance Committee has been working with our directors and management over the last few years to identify qualified individuals to serve on our Board. Ms. Crowell and Messrs. Aguilar, and Fox were identified through this process. Mr. Johnson, currently a Class I director is not standing for re-election, and will retire from the Board at the expiration of his term, which will occur immediately prior to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THESE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS OF ENVESTNET.

It is the intention of the persons named as proxies, subject to any direction to the contrary, to vote in favor of the candidates nominated by the Board.

Company Overview

Envestnet is a leading provider of intelligent systems for wealth management and financial wellness. Envestnet’sEnvestnet's unified technology enhances advisor productivity and strengthens the wealth management process. Envestnet empowers enterprises and advisors to more fully understand their clients and deliver better outcomes.

Founded in 1999, Envestnet has been a leader in helping transform wealth management, working towards its goal of building a holistic financial wellness network that supports enterprises, advisors and their clients.



Through a combination of platform enhancements, partnerships and acquisitions, Envestnet uniquely provides a financial network connecting software, services and data, delivering better intelligence and enabling its customers to drive better outcomes.


Shareholder Feedback and Compensation Committee Response

In 2017 Envestnet’s compensation program received support from 64%

Highlights of votes cast. During the prior three years, shareholders overwhelmingly supported our say-on-pay advisory resolutions with 98% support of votes cast. In response to the lower than expected 2017 say-on-pay results, the Compensation Committee and management evaluated our executive compensation programs with input from the Board’s independent compensation consultant. This evaluation included engagement with shareholders to gather their perspectives and feedback, which was incorporated into Board and Compensation Committee discussions and determinations regarding compensation programs. Discussions with shareholders took place in July 2017 and then again in February 2018.

23


Our shareholder engagement in February 2018 was led by our lead independent director (Mr. Chapin) and our Compensation Committee Chairperson (Mr. Fox) and included senior executives from Envestnet’s legal, finance, and human resources departments.  We reached out to shareholders representing approximately 75% of our outstanding shares, and received feedback from shareholders representing approximately 25% of our outstanding shares; these shareholders typically represented larger shareholders and included some investors who voted in favor of our executive compensation program last year and some who voted against. Outreach occurred in the form of conference calls with a shareholder driven agenda, enabling shareholders to offer their perspective and ask questions directly to the Company representatives participating on the calls. Each discussion with our shareholders was interactive and constructive.  We engaged with proxy advisory firms to gain insight into their views on our executive compensation programs.

While shareholders generally were consistent in desiring compensation programs tied to metrics and corporate performance, a number of our shareholders noted the value in having a discretionary component to the evaluation of executives’ performance, and that determination of their variable compensation should not always be solely tied to numbers. Based on the feedback we received from our shareholders and our internal review of our programs, we have implemented several changes to our program and processes for fiscal year 2018 and enhanced disclosure related to compensation decisions made for fiscal year 2017. The Compensation Committee is committed to engaging with shareholders on executive compensation and making pay program changes that are directly responsive to shareholder feedback and that enhance alignment of our program with the Envestnet business strategy.

Shareholder Feedback

Envestnet Actions

Provide clearer disclosure on Compensation Committee’s role in pay decisions for NEOs

Enhanced the disclosure in the Role of Compensation Committee and Management section of the CD&A (page 28) to clarify the steps taken by the Compensation Committee in setting CEO pay and approving other NEO compensation.

Explain basis for determining performance goals and allocation of individual bonus and equity awards for NEOs

Continued to evaluate company and business results in measuring annual and long-term results for NEOs and we provided additional information in the Annual Incentive Program section (page 32) on the performance metrics used, and how Management and the Compensation Committee determine and approve NEO compensation.

In determining 2017 NEO individual cash bonuses, the Compensation Committee reviewed achievements for each NEO in several categories including core growth, product and market expansion, organizational effectiveness, succession and talent development and business unit performance for business unit leaders.

Established a more structured annual incentive program for 2018 for NEOs based on pre-established goals encompassing Company and individual performance. For additional information see the Executive Compensation Program Enhancements section (page 29).

Tie a portion of the total incentive to longer-term performance results

Implemented a new Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) program which adds a  three-year performance-based compoment to the long-term program. This program will only reward executives if pre-established performance goals are achieved. For additional information see the Executive Compensation Program Enhancements section (page 29).

Preference for a balanced use of performance measures in compensation plans, including the use of a shareholder return measure

Selected performance measures that provide a balanced view of results in our newly implemented PSU program. The measures include top line growth, profitability and a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) measure.

Additionally, to enhance our governance practices, in January 2018, the Compensation Committee adopted a clawback policy on incentive awards for all Section 16 officers. The policy is described in more detail in the Compensation Recoupment ("Clawback") Policy section of this proxy on page 34.

24


The Compensation Committee also undertook a review of competitive total compensation for Envestnet NEOs relative to market. The market was defined as a peer group of 14 companies in similar businesses as Envestnet that were also of a relevant size based on revenue and market capitalization.  See pages 29-30 for a more detailed description of the peer group.  Published data from nationally recognized compensation surveys was also reviewed for companies in the technology sector of a relevant revenue size. Compared to both these market reference points, our CEO’s total compensation was well below market median. The Compensation Committee uses market data as one input when determining pay levels and also considers company and individual performance, individual contributions, and role criticality in their deliberations.

Highlights of 2017 and Long-Term Performance

Overall Envestnet achieved solid performance in 20172018 demonstrated by strong growth in revenue (18%(19%). GAAP net lossincome of $3.3$4.0 million and GAAP lossnet income per diluted share of $0.07$0.12 improved significantly from 20162017 due to the strong revenue growth and management of operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per diluted share grew at 30%22% and 34%47%, respectively. These results exceeded our long-term growth targets and were supported by the accomplishment of key strategic objectives critical to our future growth. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA are important value drivers for our business as we look to grow while maintaining profitability.

Our results were strong across our business, with the Envestnet segment, which includes our Enterprise and Tamarac wealth management offerings, growing revenue 18%20% over the prior year. The Yodlee segment performed equally well, growing revenue 19%15%. Both segments also expanded profit margins meaningfully.

Shareholder Engagement
Envestnet’s current executive compensation program is reflective of a comprehensive evaluation by the Compensation Committee and management, and includes the feedback and perspectives of shareholders. In 2018 Envestnet’s compensation program received support from 97% of votes cast. In the last year, we reached out to shareholders representing approximately 76% of our outstanding shares, and received feedback from shareholders representing approximately 29% of our outstanding shares. Each discussion with our shareholders was interactive and constructive. We also engaged with proxy advisory firms to gain insight into their views on our executive compensation programs. Our Committee and management will continue to reach out to our shareholders on an annual basis.
Based on the feedback we received from our shareholders in 2018 and 2019 and our internal review of our programs, several changes to our program and processes were implemented for fiscal year 2018, as highlighted below. The Compensation Committee is committed to engaging with shareholders on executive compensation and making pay program changes that are directly responsive to shareholder feedback and that enhance alignment of our program with the Envestnet business strategy.
Enhanced the structure of the Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) in 2018 based on pre-established goals weighted heavily on Company performance, with a small portion tied to individual performance.
Implemented a Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) program which adds a three-year Company performance-based component to the long-term program. This program will only reward executives if pre-established performance goals are achieved after the three-year performance period.
Selected performance measures that provide a balanced view of results in the PSU program. The measures drive top line growth, profitability and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) focus.
Adopted a clawback policy on incentive awards for all Section 16 officers.
Introduced stock ownership guidelines for NEOs.

Envestnet’s Compensation Philosophy and Guiding Principles

Envestnet believes

Our Company’s philosophy is to attract and motivate employees and provide them with competitive, performance-based compensation should be transparent, understandable and effectively communicated,that encourages achievement of results that create long-term shareholder value. Our total rewards practices are aligned with the market, consistent with our risk profile and reflect goodreflective of solid governance practices. The following principles are the basis for our executive compensation program and our philosophy to align pay with performance and shareholder interests:

We Pay for Performance

Our key principle is to ensure we pay for performance by placing a majority of our executives’ pay at risk subject to company and individual performance.

We Align Pay with Shareholder Interests

We reward performance that meets the goals set for the Company, as approved by the Compensation Committee, consistent with the Company’s long-term business strategy and aligned with long-term shareholder value creation.

26



Compensation is aligned against clearly articulated goals and results.
We reward performance consistent with our long-term business strategy and aligned with long-term shareholder value creation.

Our Compensation Program is Highly Variable

Variable pay awarded through our annual incentive and equity program is generally the largest component of pay for NEOs.

Actual pay is determined based on the achievement of goals set for the Company overall, each Business Unit and individual for that performance year or period.

We Offer an Attractive Compensation Program

Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain skilled executives and to be fiscally responsible to our shareholders.

Based on the competitive markets in which we compete, we evaluate the elements of our program and our pay levels to ensure that we provide attractive, competitive opportunities.

We review market data as one reference but also consider internal equity and general affordability in making pay decisions.


Compensation Decision Process and Decisions for 20172018

In the first quarter of each year, the Compensation Committee and management consider the performance for the prior fiscal year when determining annual cash bonuses as well as equity awards for the NEOs. The stock-based awards granted in the first quarter of each year are made for performance in the prior year and therefore the stock-based awards granted in 20182019 are considered part of 2017 compensation and the stock-based awards granted in 2017 are considered part of 20162018 compensation.

As discussed above, overall Envestnet performance was strong in 20172018 as reflected in our above expectations revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance relative to our long-term strategic plan. Individual contributions by each of our NEOs were also significant, as further described in the Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") section of this CD&A. Incentive compensation decisions for 20172018 are reflective of strong corporate performance and significant individual contributions.

To manage the total potential dilution from stock-based awards to executives and other employees, the number of shares granted each year are adjusted up or down based on prior year performance. The actual grant date value of such award will vary depending on the stock price on the date of grant. As discussed further below, the company had a strong year in 2017 and therefore increased the number of shares granted to NEOs on average by 8%.  Our stock price since the last grant in 2017 increased significantly, approximately 75%, and therefore the value of the 2018 equity grants made for 2017 performance is higher than the increase to the number of shares granted. The Compensation Committee and management believe that managing to a share pool to ensure appropriate levels of share dilution is a  key shareholder consideration.

For equity awards granted in 2018 for 2017 performance, the Committee and CEO continued to grant restriced stock units (“RSU”) and introduced a new performance share unit (“PSU”) award that measures performance over a three-year period. PSUs may be earned based on performance results for the 2018-2020 performance period and actual payouts may vary between 0% and 150% of the target share units depending on the level of performance achieved. As a new program, the Committee determined that a 25% weighting on PSUs would be appropriate in the year of introduction The Committee will continue to evaluate the weighting of PSUs in the overall program for future years.

The Compensation Committee also considered market data for relevant positions. Total compensation decisions for the CEO and other NEOs were compared to the proxy peer group (described in detail on page 30)26) and market data for relevant positions. Overall, the total compensation for the CEO and on average for other NEOs was between the 25th percentile and the median of the peer group and market, with variation by position.

Based on this process, the Committee approved the following compensation decisions in 20182019 for 20172018 performance. This table reflects how the Compensation Committee makes compensation decisions and is not intended to replace the Summary Compensation Table information provided on page 36:

Role of Compensation Committee and Management

The Compensation Committee has responsibility to oversee and approve executive compensation programs at Envestnet. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee approves the components of compensation for the NEOs, the individual performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer, and sets the performance goals for any related compensation programs.

At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee conducts an in-depth review of overall Company results and the CEO’s performance relative to thethe identified goals. The CEO provides an overview of the performance of each of the other NEOs to the Compensation Committee and presents his compensation recommendations. The Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to make changes to any recommendations made by the CEO and approves all compensation decisions for the NEOs with the objective of ensuring that compensation delivered is aligned with the achieved performance results. Compensation decisions for the CEO are made by the Compensation Committee based on its assessment of Company results and his individual performance.

In 2017, the

The Compensation Committee retained Compensation Advisory Partners (“CAP”) to assist the Compensation Committee with the review of the executive compensation programs. CAP worked with the Compensation Committee to develop a peer group and provided the data on executive compensation design practices and pay levels among those peer companies.

Executive Compensation Program Enhancements


Enhancements for 2017 and 2018

The Compensation Committee adopted a compensation peer group to provide a market reference point for compensation levels and practices.

Instituted a more formal outreach/dialogue with shareholders to discuss compensation and governance objectives.

Adopted a clawback policy on all incentive awards for Section 16 officers.

Introduced a more structured approach to individual award allocation for the NEOs. Each NEO, other than the CEO, provided a self-evaluation of their achievements relative to several key categories including financial performance, product and market expansion, organizational effectiveness, succession and pipeline, professional development and business unit results, as applicable. The CEO discussed his review of the self-evaluation of the other NEOs with the Compensation Committee which helped inform their approval of NEO compensation.

Similar to prior years, the Compensation Committee conducted their own assessment of the CEO’s performance with input from the full Board. 

For 2018, we established a more structured annual incentive program based on pre-established goals for revenue (35% weighting), adjusted EBITDA (20% weighting), adjusted EPS (20% weighting), and individual/team performance (25% weighting). Each NEO was assigned a target incentive opportunity ranging between 90% and 110% of salary and participants may earn between 0% and 125% of the assigned target incentive based on actual performance.

Designed and adopted a PSU program that was granted in 2018 to certain executives, including most NEOs.

PSUs may be earned based on performance results for the 2018-2020 performance period and actual payouts may vary between 0% and 150% of target incentive depending on the level of performance achieved.

Performance will be measured based on financial metrics and relative TSR. 

These awards represent approximately 25% of the equity awards made to the NEOs in 2018. The Compensation Committee intends to further review the portion of equity allocated in PSUs for NEOs in 2019 and 2020. Additional information on the PSU program will be disclosed in the fiscal 2018 Proxy Statement. 

Peer Group

In 2017, the Compensation Committee adopted a 14-company peer group to provide a market reference point on executive compensation practices and pay levels. The peer group was developed with the assistance of the Committee’s independent consultant based on the following criteria:

29

Companies that operate in similar businesses to Envestnet, including technology/software services.

Companies with which we compete for business, talent and investor dollars as defined by industry and business mix.
Company size defined by revenue and market capitalization.

The Committee did not make changes to the peer group for 2018 other than excluding DST Systems, which was acquired and Financial Engines, Inc., which is no longer a public company. The peer group is fully vetted every other year to determine if companies should be added or removed. The next review will occur in 2019.    

·

Companies that operate in similar businesses to Envestnet, including technology/software services

·

Companies with which we compete for business, talent, and investor dollars as defined by industry and business mix

·

Company size defined by revenue and market capitalization

The Compensation Committee uses peer group data as one input when determingdetermining pay levels and also considers company and individual performance, individual contributions and role criticality in their deliberations. Envestnet’s revenue and market capitalization is between the 25th25th percentile and median of the peer group listed below and the Compensation Committee took the size positioning into account when reviewing compensation levels for NEOs.

Annual Incentive Program (“AIP”).  Annually, the Company funds an annual incentive pool based on a percentage of the revenues and adjusted EBITDA which is distributed to all eligible employees, including NEOs. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee approves the formula used to determine the total amount of the annual incentives. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA, may be adjusted for certain itemsas defined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee established the following incentive pool formula for the 2017 program:

The 2017 pool for AIP awards would not fund if both revenue and adjusted EBITDA thresholds of $530 million and $87 million, respectively, were not achieved. The total AIP pool allows the Company to provide awards to eligible employees, consisting of any full-time employees with three months of service, and is funded based on a percentage of actual revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Based on the actual revenue of $684 million and adjusted EBITDA before AIP payouts of $153 million, the Compensation Committee approved approximately $24 million to be paid under the AIP. The plan formula allocates the following amounts to the total AIP pool:

In determining the CEO’s AIP award, the Compensation Committee annually evaluates the CEO’s performance against his accomplishments for the year and results relative to certain goals established at the beginning of the year in a Performance Evaluation Framework described below. The framework includes a review of accomplishments on financial performance, strategic priorities, and leadership and culture.


1.The Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion to adjust for revenues and expenses attributable to acquisitions, as well as extraordinary or non-recurring gains or losses. Additionally, EBITDA is based on amounts prior to the payment of any amount paid pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program and certain extraordinary non-cash or non-recurring general and administrative expenses.

Based on the strong 2017 financial results that exceeded expectations and the significant progress in achieving milestones supporting the long term strategic vision,2018, the Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive cash paymentplan for NEOs and other executives to encourage achievement of $600,000our near term objectives. The plan rewards executives based on a combination of Company and individual goals. Company performance is measured based on Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS. Individual and team performance assessment included cross-sell revenue synergies, efficiencies and other goals specific to roles.

To determine 2018 payments under the AIP, the Committee evaluated Company performance against the pre-established financial goals (as described below).

The Company performance reflects 75% of the annual incentive and was achieved at 101% of target.
  Metric Weighting Threshold ($) Target ($) Maximum ($) 
2018
Actual ($)
 Payout by Metric
Revenue ($mil.) 35% 750.00 805.00 - 835.00 875.00 812.40 90%

For each NEO, the compensation committee evaluated their individual and team performance against the metrics described above for 2018. The performance percentage for such metric assigned to each executive was above 100% and up to 125% based on such assessment, which, when combined with the results of the financial metrics, resulted in the payments noted in the table below to each of the NEOs. Additionally, as a result of its review of total compensation relative to the Peer Group and the importance of retention in light of the announced organizational changes, the compensation committee approved additional discretionary payments to Mr. Bergman. Highlights of 2017Bergman and Mr. Crager as noted in the table below.

Based on 2018 Company performance and NEO accomplishments, from the Performance Evaluation Framework are summarized below:

Financial and Stock Performance:

   Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year increased 30%

   Revenue year-over-year increased 18%

   Stock price increased 41%

Corporate Initiatives:

    Growth in advisors, accounts and assets

    Executed on synergies and cross-sell opportunities

Leadership and Culture:

    Employee engagement score improved year-over-year and is currently 69% favorable     Launch of global employee programs covering 95% of all employees

For NEOs other than the CEO, the CEO makes initial AIP award recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on his review of their individual performanceapproved the following AIP and accomplishments. The Compensation Committee has final authority to exercise its discretion in approving final compensation amounts or awards for NEOs. In approving final awards, the Compensation Committee agreed with the CEO’s recommendations based on a review of the other NEO accomplishments and contributions that supported the results summarized above.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation. We also maintain

(1) Mr. Arora did not receive a compensation program with amounts paid to eligible employees as incentive compensation based on a percentage of gross sales. For purposes of determining the total amount availablespecific payment for incentive compensation, we estimate our new fee revenue based on gross sales by calculating the average fee paid on all of our products, taking into account differing fee rates on the various products we sell and various fee schedules related to different client programs. In 2017, we targeted 12.0% of such estimated fee revenue to be used for total incentive compensation, with discretion to award total incentive compensation of up to an additional 1.5% of estimated fee revenue. Mr. Crager is the only NEO participating in this plan. His incentive was based on our total gross sales and the CEO’s assessment of Mr. Crager’s leadership and overall results of the sales organization. For Mr. Crager, the award under this program paid in 2017 was $231,750.

Equity Awards. It has been our practice to annually grant equity awards to employees, including NEOs, in recognition of performance as well as to align their interests with the interests of our shareholders. Long-term equity incentive awards represent a significant portion of the NEOs total compensation. For CEO and on average for other NEOs, equity awards represented approximately 50% and 40% respectively, of annual compensation. In 2017, NEOs generally received stock options and restricted stock unitshis 2018 AIP grant. Instead, as part of their equity awards.his negotiated separation agreement previously filed as part of a Form 8-K by Envestnet, Mr. Arora received alla cash severance payment in exchange for a release of claims and his equity compensation in restricted stock units. agreement to comply with certain restrictive covenants.     

Equity grants are awarded under the Envestnet shareholder approved plans.Awards.

Our practice is to grant equity awards annually to eligible employees, including NEOs, to recognize performance, to align equity participants with the interests of our shareholders and to retain top talent. Long-term equity incentive awards represent a significant portion of the NEOs total compensation. For the CEO and on average for other NEOs, equity awards represent approximately 70% and 60% respectively, of annual compensation. In 2018, NEOs generally received PSUs and RSUs as part of their equity awards. Equity grants are awarded under the Envestnet shareholder approved plans.


Of the total number of shares and optionsequity awards granted to mostthe NEOs in 2017, 75%2018, 65%-75% of the total were delivered in restricted stock unitsRSUs and 25%-35% of the total were delivered in stock options. Stock options and restricted stock unitsPSUs.

RSUs vest over three years, with one third (1/3) of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and one twelfth (1/12) of the option award vesting on each three-month anniversary for the following two years. Mr. Arora received all his equity compensation in restricted stock units with the same

33


vesting schedule as other NEOs. Mr. Arora only receives restricted stock awards as part of the legacy Yodlee program; going forward, Mr. Arora will also receive PSUs.

The size of equity grants for NEOs is based on a number of factors, including our analysis of competitive practices, individual performance as determined byIn 2018, the Compensation Committee changes inadopted PSUs, a new equity vehicle that is intended to reward participating executives, including all NEOs, if specific 3-year (2018-2020) Company and market performance goals are achieved. The PSUs are based on four equally weighted metrics, as described below, and the scopefinal number of shares earned under the plan, if any, will vary based on the degree of achievement on each metric. The maximum number of PSUs that can be earned will be 150% of the individual’s position, internal equitytarget award.

Revenue, EBITDA and EPS growth were selected for the PSU program as they are important measures of top-line and bottom-line results. While some of the metrics overlap with the annual incentive plan, the PSUs are measured over a three-year period, focusing executives on sustained multi-year results. Relative TSR was selected for its alignment with shareholders. No PSUs will be earned if achievement is below the threshold level.
The equity grantsCommittee determined to our NEOs on March 28, 2017 were as follows:

Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Company believes that requiring executive ownership in our common stock creates alignment between executives and shareholders and encourages executives to act to increase shareholder value. In October 2018, the Company established stock ownership guidelines for its Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). The stock ownership guidelines for the NEOs are as gym memberships.

follows:


The CEO is required to hold shares of common stock of the Company with a value equal to at least 6x his base salary; and
All other NEOs are required to hold shares of common stock of the Company with a value equal to at least 3x base salary.

​    These guidelines must be met within five years of becoming an NEO or assuming a new position and are reviewed annually by the Board. As of December 31, 2018, all NEOs subject to these guidelines were in compliance.
NEOs are required to hold exercised option shares and other stock awards until ownership requirements are met. NEOs who fail to achieve these ownership levels will not be eligible to sell shares until they comply with the guidelines.
Shares owned directly by the NEO (including those held as a joint tenant or as tenant in common), RSUs (vested and unvested), shares owned in a self-directed IRA and certain shares owned or held for the benefit of a spouse or minor children are counted toward meeting the guidelines.
Stock options (whether vested or unvested) and performance share awards are not counted toward meeting the ownership guidelines.
Compensation Recoupment ("Clawback"(“Clawback”) Policy

In January 2018, the Compensation Committee has adopted a compensation clawback policy, which provides that in the event a Covered Officer“covered person” engages in fraud or other intentional misconduct that is materially related to a restatement of our financial statements or that results in material financial or reputational harm to the Corporation,Company, the Compensation Committee would determine, in its discretion, whether any unsettled incentive awards held by the Covered Officer would be forfeited or any previously settled incentive awards held by such person would be required to be repaid to the Company. For purposes of the clawback policy, a Covered Person“covered person” is any person who is an officer as“officer” (as that term is defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,Act), as well any other officer of the CorporationCompany designated by the Compensation Committee.

Impact of Tax Treatments on Compensation

Code Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to "covered employees"“covered employees” (as defined by Code) of the Company, unless the compensation satisfied an exception, such as the exception for performance-based compensation. Performance-based compensation generally includes only payments that are contingent on achievement of performance objectives, and excludes fixed or guaranteed payments.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act)("the Act") was enacted, which, among other things, repealed the performance-based compensation exception and expanded the definition of covered employee. The changes to Section 162(m) are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.2018. The Act includes a transition rule so

34


that these changes do not apply to compensation paid pursuant to a "binding“binding written contract"contract” that was in effect on November 2, 2017 and that was not materially modified on or after such date.

Because of the performance-based compensation exception repeal, amounts paid pursuant to a contract effective after November 2, 2017 will not be deductible as performance-based compensation, and the Compensation Committee will not need to consider the requirements of the performance-based compensation exception when considering the design of any such future contracts as part of our compensation program. For amounts paid under contracts in effect on November 2, 2017 that were intended to constitute performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee will continue to consider the performance-based compensation exception when making determinations of performance under those contracts.

The Act also expands the definition of covered employee. For 2017,2018, our covered employees included the CEO and other NEOs (but not the CFO) who were executive officers as of the last day of our fiscal year. For 20182019 and after, our covered employees will generally include anyone who (i) was the CEO or CFO at any time during the year, (ii) was one of the other NEOs who was an executive officer as of the last day of the fiscal year and (iii) was a covered employee for any previous year after 2016.

2017. 

As with prior years, although the Compensation Committee will consider deductibility under Section 162(m) with respect to the compensation arrangements for executive officers, deductibility will not be the sole factor used in determining levels or methods of compensation. Since our compensation objectives may not always be consistent with the requirements for full deductibility, we and our subsidiaries may enter into compensation arrangements under which payments would not be deductible under Section 162(m).

On March 15, 2018, the Compensation Committee granted non-equity incentive compensation awards. The actual cash value was paid in 2019 based on financial metrics and individual factors as described above AIP section of the CD&A on page 27 above. Each of the financial metrics has a threshold target that must be hit in order to receive a payment equal to 50% of the target value. The threshold value listed in the table above assumes that the threshold amount was hit for each of individual financial metrics and individual factors, but it is possible that a lower amount could be paid out for each executive if the threshold targets are not hit for one or more of the financial metrics.

(2)On March 15, 2018 and July 31, 2018 the Board granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards or PSUs. The actual number of PSUs that will become vested is based on financial metrics described above in the Equity Awards section of the CD&A on page 27 above. Each of the financial metrics has a threshold target that must be hit in order to receive a payment equal to 50% of the target value. The threshold value listed in the table above assumes that the threshold amount was hit for each of individual financial metrics, but it is possible that a lower amount could become vested if the threshold targets are not hit for one or more of the financial metrics.

(3)All restricted stock units and stock option grants were approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board on their respective grant dates.


(2)

The fair value of stock options granted was determined using the Black Scholes model as of the grant date. The model for the March 28, 2017 grant assumes: (i) the stock option would be exercised 6 years after grant date, (ii) expected stock price volatility of 43.82%, (iii) a risk free yield equal to 2.13% and (iv) our dividend yield (0%) would remain constant from grant date to exercise date.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

On February 9, 2015, the Board adopted the Envestnet, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), and the Deferred Compensation Plan became effective March 1, 2015. The Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

amended (the “Code”). 

Persons eligible to participate in the Deferred Benefit Plan are called “Participants.”

“Participants”. 

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Participants have the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of up to 90% of their base salary and bonus. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Participants have the right to elect to receive distributions on a specified payment date in the future, or in a lump sum or annual installment payments following the termination of employment. Certain revisions to the distribution election may be made if done in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Amounts deferred by a Participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be credited to a deferral account that will be used to determine the amounts to be paid to the Participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred will be credited or debited with a hypothetical rate of return based on the performance of the available measurement funds selected by the Participant among those made available by the Company under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The deferral account represents an unfunded, unsecured promise by the company to pay such amounts in the future, and does not represent ownership of, or any ownership interest in, any particular assets of the Company. Participants will at all times be fully vested in all deferral contributions and earnings thereon.

The following table sets forth information concerning nonqualified deferred compensation of our NEOs who participated in the Deferred Compensation Plan in 2017.2018. The amounts set forth in this table include only contributions made and earnings received during 20172018 and do not include contribution and earnings with respect to the 20172018 bonus paid in 2018.2019.

Potential Payments Upon Termination of Change of Control 

Employment Agreements. Each of the NEOs is a party to an individual employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreements”). With the exception of Mr. Arora’s Employment Agreement, the Employment Agreements have a three-year term, with an automatic one-year renewal unless either party provides advance written notice of non-renewal. Subject to the signing of a release and compliance with the terms of the Employment Agreements, in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment either without cause or for good reason, the executive will be entitled to (i) “Severance Pay” equal to two (2) multiplied by the sum of his (a) base salary plus (b) an amount equal to the average of his most recent two annual bonuses (paid in equal installments on regular payment dates over two (2) years), (ii) a “Pro-Rata Bonus for Year of Termination” equal to the average of his most recent two annual bonuses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days during the calendar year prior to the termination date and the denominator of which equals 365 (paid on the sixty-day anniversary of the termination date), and (iii) a “Health Care Continuation” lump sum cash payment equal to the applicable percentage of the monthly COBRA coverage in connection with his termination multiplied by eighteen months (with the applicable percentage equal to the percentage of the executive’s health care premium costs covered by the Company as of the termination date) (paid on the sixty-day anniversary of the termination date). Mr. Arora’s Employment Agreement

40


does not have a term and upon termination without cause or for good reason, and subject to the signing of a release, Mr. Arora will be entitled to (i) “Severance Pay” equal to (a) twelve months of his base salary plus (b) the average of the annual cash


bonus amounts paid in relation to the two years prior to the year in which termination occurs, and (ii) a “Health Care Continuation” payment equal to twelve months of the monthly COBRA premium cost applicable to Mr. Arora and his dependents (paid on the sixty-day anniversary of the termination date).

Under the terms of the Employment Agreements (with the exception of Mr. Arora’s and Mr. Grinis’s Employment Agreements), the executive is subject to an ongoing confidentiality obligation, a 24-month non-competition covenant, a 24-month non-solicitation of employees of the Company covenant (including former employees or consultants within the 12-month period prior to the executive’s termination date), and a 24-month non-solicitation of customers of the Company covenant (including prospective customers within the 12-month period prior to the executive’s termination date). Mr. Arora is not subject to restrictive covenant provisions pursuant to his Employment Agreement. The restrictive covenant provisions of the Grinis Employment Agreement have been adapted to comply with local California law and include an ongoing confidentiality obligation, ongoing restrictions on the use of certain Company confidential information (including methods of doing business, business plans, customer contact and relationship information and other valuable proprietary information concerning the Company and its affiliates), and a 24-month24‑month non-solicitation of employees of the Company covenant (including former employees or consultants within the 12-month period prior to Mr. Grinis’s termination date).


In the event that any payments made contingent upon a change in control of the Company would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (with the exception of Mr. Arora’s Employment Agreement), then the amount of payments pursuant to the Employment Agreement would be reduced to the maximum amount that will cause the total amounts of the payment not to be subject to the excise tax, but only if the amount of such payments, after such reduction and after payment of all applicable taxes on the reduced amount, is equal to or greater than the amount of such payments the executive would otherwise be entitled to retain without such a reduction after the payment of all applicable taxes, including the excise tax. The Company also reserves the right to adopt a policy regarding recoupment of excess compensation applicable to its executives, including the executives. Such a policy would control over any inconsistent provision of the Employment Agreement and be binding on the executives.

Equity Incentive Plans.Plans. We currently maintain equity‑based incentive plans—plans - the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan and the Envestnet, Inc. Management Incentive Plan for Envestnet | Tamarac Management Employees (MIP) and the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Award Plan. No new awards are being made under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Award Plan or the MIP. We established the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan to (i) attract and retain key employees and other persons providing services to us and our related companies; (ii) motivate plan participants by means of appropriate incentive to achieve long‑range goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar corporations; and (iv) further align plan participants’ interests with those of our shareholders. Under the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan, we may issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other full value awards, as well as cash incentive awards.

In the event that (a) a Participant’s employment or service, as applicable, is terminated by us, our successor or one of our related companies that is the Participant’s employer for reasons other than cause (as defined in the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan) within 24 months following a change in control (as defined in the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan) or (b) the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan is terminated by us or our successor following a change in control without provision for the continuation of outstanding awards under the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan, all stock options and related awards which have not otherwise expired will become immediately exercisable and all other awards will become fully vested provided that the extent to which any award becomes vested based on the satisfaction of applicable performance goals or targets on or after a change in control, the Compensation Committee may make such determination either based on the determination of the satisfaction of the applicable performance goal based on actual performance through the date of such change in control or based on assumed performance at the target level through the date of such change in control. Awards outstanding under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan will become fully vested and exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on the awards will lapse if a change in control (as defined in the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan) occurs and the Participant’s awards are not converted, assumed or replaced, by awards of the surviving or successor entity or one of its affiliates.

41


Under our equity compensation plans, outstanding and unvested stock options may become fully vested and exercisable, and outstanding and unvested restricted stock units may become fully vested and be distributed upon a participant’s death, disability, or involuntary termination as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. These provisions apply to all employees who participate in the Company’s equity plans. The outstanding equity awards held by the NEOs as of December 31, 20172018 are described above under “2017“2018 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year‑End.”

End”.

With respect to the PSU Awards for Messrs. Bergman, Crager and D’Arrigo granted in 2016,2017, except as otherwise provided below, any portion of the PSU Award that is not vested upon the executive’s termination of employment will be forfeited. If the executive’s employment is terminated without “cause”, for “good reason”, or upon death or “permanent disability”, and subject to the execution of a release, the executive shall become vested in all of the Banked Units on the applicable distribution dates. In the event of a change in control, the applicable performance measures for the PSU Awards will

be determined as if target performance had been satisfied but subject to continued service vesting; provided, that the Compensation Committee may decide to accelerate vesting at the time of such change in control.

Transferability. Awards under the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent provided by the Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or to or for the benefit of the Participant’s family (including, without limitation, to a trust or partnership for the benefit of a Participant’s family).

Withholding.All awards and other payments under the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. With the consent of the Committee, withholding obligations may be satisfied with previously‑owned shares of common stock or shares of common stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan. The amount withheld in the form of such shares may not exceed the maximum individual tax rate for the Participant in applicable jurisdictions for such Participant (based on the applicable rates of the relevant tax authorities (for example, federal, state and local)), including the Participant’s share of payroll or similar taxes, as provided in law, regulations or the authority’s administrative practices, not to exceed the highest statutory rate in that jurisdiction, even if that rate exceeds the highest rate that may be applicable to the specific Participant.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan, and the Board or the Compensation Committee may amend any award, provided that no amendment or termination may adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s written consent. Adjustments to the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan and awards on account of business transactions are not subject to the foregoing prohibition. The provisions of the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan that prohibit repricing of stock options and stock appreciation rights cannot be amended unless the amendment is approved by our shareholders. The 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan also permits the Board to amend the 2010 Long‑Term Incentive Plan and any awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (relating to nonqualified deferred compensation) as it deems necessary to conform to Section 409A.

Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control

The following tables quantify the potential payments upon termination that our NEOs would receive assuming that the relevant termination event had occurred on December 31, 2017.2018. The last table quantifies potential payments upon an involuntary termination without cause and a change of control that our executive officers would receive assuming that both the termination without cause and change in control had occurred on December 31, 2017.

There is no severance or health care continuation payable to any of the NEOs as a result of a termination due to death or disability. The pro-rata bonus is calculated as the average bonus for the executive officer paid with respect to the two calendar years preceding the date of termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of day so the year worked prior to the termination and the denominator of which equals 365. Because the assumed termination date is the last day of the year, the pro-rata bonus amounts listed above equal the average bonus paid for FY 20152017 and 20142016 for the applicable executive officers. For Mr. Arora, the bonus amount listed is equal to the average bonus for the executive officer paid with respect to the two calendar years preceding the date of termination without multiplication by the pro-rata fraction. The unvested equity awards held by the NEOs that were granted in 2016 in consideration for the execution of employment agreements and for retention purposes would vest on a termination due to death or permanent disability. Additionally, the unvested equity awardsPSUs granted to Mr. Arora for retention purposes following the acquisitionNEOs in 2018 would remain eligible to vest at the end of Yodlee, Inc.the performance period in an amount equal to the number of PSUs granted multiplied by the performance percentage determined based on the actual performance of the Company during the performance period further multiplied by a pro-rata fraction based on the number of days worked between the grant date and the unvested restricted stock awardsdate of termination divided by 1095. Because the performance percentage is not yet known, the amount in the table estimates the value of the PSUs granted to Mr. Arora pursuant to the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Plan heldin 2018 that would become vested on such a termination dueassuming vesting with a performance percentage equal to death or permanent disability.100% and a pro-rata fraction equal to one-fourth. All other equity awards held by the NEOs would be forfeited on termination. The value of the equity awards for the table above and the following tables was

calculated using a stock price per share of $49.85,$49.19, which is equal to the closing price of one share on the last trading day of the year on December 29, 2017.

Subject to the signing of a release and compliance with the terms of the Employment Agreements, in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment either without cause or for good reason, the executive will be entitled to (i) “Severance Pay” equal to two (2) multiplied by the sum of his (a) base salary plus (b) an amount equal to the average of his most recent two annual bonuses (paid in equal installments on regular payment dates over two (2) years), (ii) a “Pro-Rata Bonus for Year of Termination” equal to the average of his most recent two annual bonuses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days during the calendar year prior to the termination date and the denominator of which equals 365 (paid on the sixty-day anniversary of the termination date), and (iii) a “Health Care Continuation” lump sum cash payment equal to the applicable percentage of the monthly COBRA coverage in connection with his termination multiplied by eighteen months (with the applicable percentage equal to the percentage of the executive’s health care premium costs covered by the company as of the termination date) (paid on the sixty-day

43


anniversary of the termination date). Mr. Arora’s Employment Agreement does not have a term and upon termination without cause or for good reason, and subject to the signing of a release, Mr. Arora will be entitled to (i) “Severance Pay” equal to (a) twelve months of his base salary plus (b) the average of the annual cash bonus amounts paid in relation to the two years prior to the year in which termination occurs, and (ii) a “Health Care Continuation” payment equal to twelve months of the monthly COBRA premium cost applicable to Mr. Arora and his dependents (paid on the sixty-day anniversary of the termination date). The Health Care Continuation amounts were determined for each executive using a monthly COBRA premium based on the actual elections made by the individual executive.

The unvested equity awards held by the NEOs that were granted in 2016 in consideration for the execution of employment agreements and for retention purposes would vest on a termination due without cause or for good reason. Additionally, the unvested equity awardsPSUs granted to Mr. Arora as for retention purposes following the acquisitionNEOs in 2018 would remain eligible to vest at the end of Yodlee, Inc.the performance period in an amount equal to the number of PSUs granted multiplied by the performance percentage determined based on the actual performance of the Company during the performance period further multiplied by a pro-rata fraction based on the number of days worked between the grant date and the unvested restricted stock awardsdate of termination divided by 1095. Because the performance percentage is not yet known, the amount in the table estimates the value of the PSUs granted pursuant to the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Plan held by Mr. Arorain 2018 that would become vested on such a termination without cause or for good reason.assuming vesting with a performance percentage equal to 100% and a pro-rata fraction equal to one-fourth. All other equity awards held by the NEOs would be forfeited on such termination (unless such termination were within twenty-four months following a change in control as described below).

The severance amounts payable for a termination without cause or for good reason following a change in control would be the same for all NEOs as a termination without cause or for good reason described above. All outstanding unvested equity awards held by the NEOs would become vested for a termination without cause within twenty-four months following a change in control (but not all equity would become vested on a termination for good reason as that would only apply to certain equity awards as described in the previous table for a termination with good reason).

PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

Pay Ratio Disclosure

We are committed to providing a comprehensive total rewards program to attract, retain and reward highly qualified, diverse and productive employees. The total rewards program emphasizes alignment of employee efforts to support our corporate strategies. The components of the program include compensation, benefits, learning and development opportunities and recognition of employee performance. We strive to remain externally competitive in relevant labor markets while maintaining internal equity and rewarding performance. As of December 31, 2017,2018, we had 3,6303,920 employees, including employees in operations, research and development, engineering and systems, executive and corporate functions, sales and marketing and investment management and research. Of these 3,6303,920 employees, 1,2691,429 were located in the United States, 2,3452,475 were located in India and 16 were located in other international locations.

For purposes of this 2018 pay ratio disclosure, we used the same median employee that we identified in 2017 since we believe that there has been no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements in 2018 that would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure. We identified the median employee by examining the base salary as of December 31, 2017 for all employees, excluding the CEO, who were employed by us on December 31, 2017. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time or seasonal basis. For full-time employees hired in 2017, an annualized salary was used. However, compensation for part-time employees was not annualized. We did not make any other assumptions, adjustments or estimates with respect to base salaries other than converting all base salaries to US dollars on the determination date. After identifying the median employee, the median employee’s total annual compensation was calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table.

Based on the methodology described above, we estimated that the 20172018 annual total compensation of our median employee, who was located in India, was $21,649.$22,562. The 20172018 annual total compensation of Mr. Bergman, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"(“CEO”) was $2,488,553.$4,200,366. As a result, we estimate the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to our median employee was 115186 to 1.

The SEC's rules requiring pay ratio disclosure allow companies to exercise a significant amount of flexibility in making a determination as to who is the median employee and does not mandate that each public company use the same method. In addition, our compensation philosophy means fair pay based on a person's role in the company, a subjective determination of the market value of that person's job and that person's performance in that position. As a result, the annual total compensation of our median employee is unique to that person and is not a good indicator of the annual total compensation of any of our other employees and is not comparable to the annual total compensation of employees at other companies. Similarly, we would not expect that the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to our median employee to be a number that can be compared to the ratio determined by other companies in any meaningful fashion.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are asking our shareholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Envestnet believes compensation should be transparent, understandable and effectively communicated, consistent with our risk profile and reflect good governance practices. Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain skilled executives and to be fiscally responsible to our shareholders. Envestnet offers an attractive compensation program and seeks to pay executives for company and individual performance, align the pay of executives with shareholders’ interests and long-term value creation and award executives for their achievement of goals set for that performance year or period. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the compensation programs for our NEOs to ensure that they are achieving the desired goals it sets. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” discussion for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 20172018 compensation of our NEOs.

We believe that our executive compensation programs are structured in the best manner possible to support the Company and our business objectives. We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described on pages 23-4422-40 of this proxy statement, which include the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section and the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure. This proposal, commonly known as a “say‑on‑pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative discussion.”

The say‑on‑pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will review the voting results carefully.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee consists of four members of the Board. Each Audit Committee member is independent, within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards, of Envestnet and its management and has been determined by the Board to be financially literate, as contemplated by the NYSE listing standards. In addition, the Board has determined that Messrs. Smith, Chapin, Fox and JohnsonRoame are each audit committee financial experts within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on our website. As more fully described in the charter, the primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements and financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, the audit process, the performance of our internal audit process and the performance, qualification and independence of our independent auditors, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”).

Our management prepares our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is responsible for the financial reporting process that generates these statements. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control. KPMG is responsible for auditing those financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and annually attesting to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, monitors and reviews these processes, acting in an oversight capacity relying on the information provided to it and on the representations made to it by our management, KPMG and other advisors.

The Audit Committee held seven meetings in 2017.2018. Audit Committee meetings are usually held in conjunction with the regularly scheduled meetings of the Board. At least quarterly, the Audit Committee met with management, KPMG (see “Proposal No. 3: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors”), the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer and the General Counsel to review, among other matters, the overall scope and plans for the independent audit, and the results of such audit; critical accounting estimates and policies; compliance with our conflict of interest and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policies.

At least quarterly in 2017,2018, the Audit Committee met in executive session (i.e., without management present) with representatives of KPMG to discuss the results of their work.

In connection with its audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, KPMG presented to and reviewed with the Audit Committee the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16. The Audit Committee has also discussed with KPMG their independence from Envestnet, including a review of audit and non‑audit fees, and has reviewed in that context the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, and in reliance on the information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Audit Committee by our management and KPMG, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the December 31, 20172018 audited consolidated financial statements be included in Envestnet’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

The foregoing report has been approved by all members of the Audit Committee.

Pre‑Approval Policy of Audit and Non‑Audit Services

The Audit Committee pre‑approved all of the services associated with the fees described above. The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre‑approval of all audit and permissible non‑audit services provided by our independent auditor. The Audit Committee provides a general pre‑approval of certain audit and non‑audit services on an annual basis. The types of services that may be covered by a general pre‑approval include other audit services, audit‑related services and permissible non‑audit services. If a type of service is not covered by the Audit Committee’s general pre‑approval, the Audit Committee must review the service on a specific case by case basis and pre‑approve it if such service is to be provided by the independent auditor. Annual audit services, engagement terms and fees require specific pre‑approval of the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding the pre‑approved fees also require specific pre‑approval by the Audit Committee. For both types of pre‑approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre‑approval authority to one or more of its members.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

APPENDIX A

DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting results according to U.S. GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. Those measures include “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted net income per share”.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other (income) expense,loss, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and loss attributable to non‑controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, non‑cash interest expense, non‑cash compensation expense, accretion on contingent consideration, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, amortization of acquired intangibles, fair‑market value adjustment on contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangibles, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other (income) expense,loss, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and loss attributable to non‑controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net income. The reconciling items, and resulting adjusted net income, are presented on a different basis than historically shown to eliminate the impact of quarterly volatility of the GAAP tax provision (benefit) on the Company’s adjusted earnings figures.

“Adjusted net income per share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholdersstockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted‑average shares outstanding.

Our Board of Directors and our management use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share:

·

As measures of operating performance;

·

For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;

As measures of operating performance;

·

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;

·

To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

·

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.
Our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and our management may also consider adjusted EBITDA, among other factors, when determining management’s incentive compensation.

We also present adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share as supplemental performance measures because we believe that they provide our Board of Directors, management and investors with additional information to assess our performance.  Adjusted EBITDA provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assets affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation‑related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, income tax provision (benefit), restructuring charges and transaction costs, accretion on contingent consideration, fair market value adjustments on contingent consideration, non-income tax expense, other (income) expense, severance, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment, loss attributable to non‑controlling interest, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions. Our management also believes it is useful to

A-1


exclude non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because non‑cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time.

We believe adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations will include adjusted EBITDA and and adjusted net income per share.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.


We understand that, although adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share are frequently used by securities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In particular you should consider:

·

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect non‑cash components of employee compensation;

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share do not reflect non‑cash components of employee compensation;

·

Due to either net losses before income tax expenses or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2017, 2016 and 2015, we had cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $3,261, $1,114, and $1,700 in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income tax payments will be higher if we continue to generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired; and

Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDADue to either net losses before income tax expense or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2018, 2017 and 2016, we had cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $5,531, $3,261, and $1,114 in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income tax payments will be higher if we continue to generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired; and adjusted net income per share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share to net income and net income per share, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
