To Our Stockholders,
You are cordially invited to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Castlight Health, Inc. The meeting will be held at Castlight’s offices at 150 Spear Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94105, on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time).
Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to our stockholders over the Internet.

On or about April 26, 2019, we expect to mail to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and our fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote by telephone or through the Internet and includes instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
The matters to be acted upon are described in the accompanying notice of annual meeting and proxy statement.
Please use this opportunity to take part in our company’s affairs by voting on the business to come before the meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
________________
April 26, 2019
GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION
Information About Solicitation and Voting
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Castlight Health, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “Castlight”) for use at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “meeting”) to be held at Castlight’s offices at 150 Spear Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94105, on Wednesday, June 5, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time), and any adjournment or postponement thereof. If you held shares of our common stock on April 18, 2019, (the “record date”), you are invited to attend the meeting and vote on the proposal described in this proxy statement.
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
Under rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. On or about April 26, 2019, we expect to send to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our annual report. The Notice of Internet Availability also provides instructions on how to vote by telephone or through the Internet and includes instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
This process is designed to reduce our environmental impact and lowers the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials without impacting our stockholders’ timely access to this important information. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability.
General Information About the Meeting
Purpose of the Meeting
At the meeting, stockholders will act upon the proposals described in this proxy statement. In addition, following the meeting, management will respond to questions from stockholders.
Record Date; Quorum
Only holders of record of common stock at the close of business on April 18, 2019, the record date, will be entitled to vote at the meeting. At the close of business on April 18, 2019, we had 143,960,393 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date must be present
at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you are present and vote in person at the meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy.
Voting Rights; Required Vote
With respect to all matters that will come before the meeting, each holder of shares of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the close of business on April 18, 2019, the record date. Holders of our Class A common stock and of our Class B common stock will vote together as a single class. You may vote all shares owned by you as of April 18, 2019, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner in street name through a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on April 18, 2019 your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the meeting or vote by telephone, through the Internet, or if you request or receive paper proxy materials by mail, by filling out and returning the proxy card.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Nominee. If on April 18, 2019 your shares were held in an account with a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, the organization that holds your shares is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the meeting. Because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.
Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the three individuals nominated for election to our Board of Directors at the meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may either vote “FOR” all of the nominees or “WITHHOLD” your vote with respect to any of the nominees. Approval of Proposal 2 will be obtained if the number of votes cast “FOR” such proposal at the meeting exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” such proposal. Abstentions (shares present at the meeting and voted “abstain”) are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and have no effect on the outcome of the matters voted upon. Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted either because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, or (ii) the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but have no effect on the outcome of the matters voted upon. Note that if you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting.
Recommendations of our Board of Directors on Each of the Proposals Scheduled to be Voted on at the Meeting
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR all of the Class II directors named in this proxy statement (Proposal 1), and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 (Proposal 2).
Voting Instructions; Voting of Proxies
If you are a stockholder of record, you may:
| |
• | vote in person - we will provide a ballot to stockholders who attend the meeting and wish to vote in person; |
| |
• | vote via telephone or via the Internet - in order to do so, please follow the instructions shown on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card; or |
| |
• | vote by mail - if you request or receive a paper proxy card and voting instructions by mail, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it before the meeting in the envelope provided. |
Votes submitted by telephone or through the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on Tuesday, June 4, 2019. Submitting your proxy (whether by telephone, through the Internet or by mail if you request or received a paper proxy card) will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the meeting. If you are not the stockholder of record, please refer to the voting instructions provided by your nominee to direct it how to vote your shares. For Proposal 1, you may either vote “FOR” all of the nominees to our Board of Directors, or you may withhold your vote from any nominee you specify. For Proposal 2, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted.
All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy card. If you sign a physical proxy card and return it without instructions as to how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors stated above.
If you received a Notice of Internet Availability, please follow the instructions included on the notice on how to access your proxy card and vote by telephone or through the Internet. If you do not vote and you hold your shares in street name, and your broker does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes” (as described above) and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of the proposals. However, shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the meeting.
If you receive more than one proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. To make certain all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on the Notice of Internet Availability on how to access each proxy card and vote each proxy card by telephone or through the Internet. If you requested or received paper proxy materials by mail, please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Expenses of Soliciting Proxies
The expenses of soliciting proxies will be paid by us. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we and our agents may solicit proxies by mail, electronic mail, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means, or in person. Our directors, officers, and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, e-mail, or otherwise. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, Castlight, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.
Revocability of Proxies
A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the meeting by:
| |
• | delivering to our Corporate Secretary (by any means) a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked; |
| |
• | signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date; or |
| |
• | attending and voting at the meeting (although attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). |
Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.
Electronic Access to the Proxy Materials
The Notice of Internet Availability will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
| |
• | view our proxy materials for the meeting through the Internet; and |
| |
• | instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by email. |
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will reduce the impact of our annual meetings of stockholders on the environment and lower the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.
Voting Results
Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting. The final results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and filed with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the meeting.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
We are strongly committed to good corporate governance practices. These practices provide an important framework within which our Board of Directors and management can pursue our strategic objectives for the benefit of our stockholders.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth expectations for directors, director independence standards, board committee structure and functions, and other policies for the governance of Castlight. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Investor Relations section of our website, which is located at http://ir.castlighthealth.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/governance-documents/, by clicking on “Corporate Governance Guidelines,” under “Governance Documents.” The Corporate Governance Guidelines are reviewed at least annually by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and changes are recommended to our Board of Directors as warranted.
Board of Directors Leadership Structure
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of Castlight for the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer to be separated. Maintaining separate roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer provides us with optimally effective leadership. Our Chairperson’s duties include, among other things, the nonexclusive authority to preside over meetings of the stockholders and the Board of Directors (including non-executive directors of our Board of Directors) and to hold such other powers and carry out such other duties as are also granted to the Chairperson of our Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that the independent directors may, if deemed advisable, select a “Lead Independent Director.”
Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our Board of Directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board of Directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management are undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors security management, including our cybersecurity efforts, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Compensation and Talent Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking and reviews the steps management has taken to monitor or mitigate compensation-related risk exposures.
Independence of Directors
Our Board of Directors determines the independence of our directors by applying the independence principles and standards established by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. These provide that a director is independent only if our Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with our company. They also specify various relationships that preclude a determination of director independence. Material relationships may include commercial, industrial, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, family and other business, professional and personal relationships.
Applying these standards, our Board of Directors annually reviews the independence of Castlight’s directors, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. In its most recent review, our Board of Directors considered, among other things, the relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.
Based upon this review, our Board of Directors has determined that the following director nominees and members of our Board of Directors are currently independent as determined under the rules of the NYSE:
|
| |
Michael Eberhard | Bryan Roberts |
David Ebersman | David B. Singer |
Ed Park | Judith K. Verhave |
| Kenny Van Zant |
Committees of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation and Talent Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Also, from time to time the Board may identify special committee to manage certain discreet subject areas as needed. Copies of the charters for each standing committee are available, without charge, upon request in writing to Castlight Health, Inc., 150 Spear Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94105, Attn: General Counsel or by clicking on “Corporate Governance” in the investor relations section of our website, http://ir.castlighthealth.com/investor-relations/investors-overview/.

In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Singer is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose on him any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors.

Each member of this committee is a non‑employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Our Compensation and Talent Committee is responsible for, among other things:
| |
• | reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board of Directors approve, the compensation of our executive officers; |
| |
• | reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board of Directors approve, the compensation of our directors; |
| |

| |
• | reviewing and approving, or making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to, incentive compensation and equity plans; and |
| |
• | reviewing our overall compensation philosophy. |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Dr. Roberts, Mr. Singer, and Ms. Verhave. Dr. Roberts is the chairman of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the requirements of independence under the NYSE rules and regulations. The committee is responsible for, among other things:
| |
• | identifying and recommending candidates for membership on our Board of Directors; |
| |
• | reviewing and recommending our corporate governance guidelines and policies; |
| |
• | reviewing proposed waivers of the code of conduct for directors and executive officers; |

The charters of our Audit, Compensation and Talent, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are posted on our website at http://ir.castlighthealth.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/governance-documents/.

None of our executive officers has served as a member of the board of directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board of Directors or Compensation and Talent Committee during 2018.

NOMINATIONS PROCESS AND DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
Nomination to our Board of Directors
Candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors are selected by our Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the committee's charter, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the criteria adopted by our Board of Directors regarding director candidate qualifications. In recommending candidates for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers, employees, stockholders and others, using the same criteria to evaluate all candidates. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate and, in addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers stockholder recommendations for director candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established the following procedure for stockholders to submit director nominee recommendations:
| |
• | Our bylaws establish procedures pursuant to which a stockholder may nominate a person for election to our Board of Directors; |
| |
• | If a stockholder would like to recommend a director candidate for the next annual meeting, he or she must submit the recommendations by mail to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices, not less than 75 or more than 105 days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting; |
| |
• | Recommendations for a director candidate must be accompanied by all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of such nominee as a director pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; |
| |
• | The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers nominees based on our need to fill vacancies or to expand our Board of Directors, and also considers our need to fill particular roles on our Board of Directors or committees thereof (e.g. independent director, Audit Committee financial expert, etc.); and |
| |
• | The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates in accordance with its charter and policies regarding director qualifications, qualities and skills discussed above. |
Please see the “Additional Information” section at the end of this proxy statement for details concerning the stockholder proposal process for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Director Qualifications
The goal of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to ensure that our Board of Directors possesses a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board of Directors. To this end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee seeks nominees on the basis of, among other things, independence, integrity, diversity, skills, financial and other expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about Castlight's business or industry and willingness and ability to devote adequate time and effort to Board of Directors responsibilities in the context of the existing composition, other areas that are expected to contribute to the Board of Directors’ overall effectiveness and needs of the Board of Directors and its committees. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses these and other criteria to evaluate potential nominees, we have no stated minimum criteria for nominees. In addition, while the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee values members who represent diverse viewpoints. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not use different standards to evaluate nominees depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our stockholders. When appropriate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may retain executive recruitment firms to assist it in identifying suitable candidates. After its evaluation of potential nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee submits its chosen nominees to our Board of Directors for approval. The brief
biographical description of each director set forth in Proposal No. 1 below includes the primary individual experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each of our directors that led to the conclusion that each director should serve as a member of our Board of Directors at this time.
PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine directors and is divided into three classes with each class serving for three years, and with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. Directors in Class II will stand for election at this meeting. The terms of office of directors in Class III and Class I do not expire until the annual meetings of stockholders held in 2020 and 2021, respectively. At the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board of Directors proposes that each of the Class II nominees named below be elected as a Class II director for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.
Shares represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the three nominees named below, unless the proxy is marked to withhold authority to so vote. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holder might determine. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.
All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by our Audit Committee.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following tables and accompanying narrative provide information about the compensation provided to the following individuals who were executive officers as of December 31, 2018, or, in the case of Mr. Newell, served as our President for part of the year, and to whom we refer collectively in this report as the "named executive officers":
| |
• | John C. Doyle, our Chief Executive Officer and Director; |
| |
• | Derek Newell, who served as our President and Director until June 11, 2018; |
| |
• | Maeve O'Meara, our Executive Vice President, Product and Customer Experience; and |
| |
• | Neeraj Gupta, our Executive Vice President of Engineering |
We operate in a highly competitive business environment, which is characterized by frequent technological advances, rapidly changing market requirements, and the emergence of new market entrants. To succeed in this environment, we must continually develop and refine new and existing products and services, devise new business models, and demonstrate an ability to quickly identify and capitalize on new business opportunities. To achieve these objectives, we need a highly talented and seasoned team of technical, sales, marketing, operations, and other business professionals.
We compete with many other companies in seeking to attract and retain a skilled management team. To meet this challenge, we have embraced a compensation philosophy of offering our executive officers competitive compensation and benefits packages that are focused on long-term value creation and rewarding them for achieving our financial and strategic objectives. This focus on long-term value creation results in our program having a heavy weighting toward equity compensation. In 2018, we provided a significant portion of our executives’ target compensation in the form of time-vesting restricted stock unit awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards. We rely more heavily on equity compensation to ensure that a significant portion of a named executive officer’s realizable compensation opportunity is related to factors that directly and indirectly influence stockholder value. Equity participation establishes a sense of ownership and aligns executives’ interests with those of other stockholders.
Moreover, certain of our named executive officers received substantial proportion of their equity-based compensation in the form of performance-based restricted stock unit awards. An executive receiving a performance-based restricted stock unit award may realize varying degrees of compensation from a performance-based award if certain company performance objectives are met or exceeded, and lower or no realization at all if company performance falls below certain pre-determined thresholds. The performance-based restricted stock unit awards were granted with a target number of shares reflected in the Summary Compensation Table footnotes, and actual realization on the awards, if any, could range, in some cases, from 50% of target up to 150% of target depending on performance achievement including satisfaction of certain minimum performance thresholds to be achieved during calendar year 2018. In addition, the number of shares subject to these awards to be earned based on performance achievement were, in some cases, subject to further time-based vesting of approximately two years after the earned number of shares was determined. We continued our emphasis on performance-based equity awards for 2018 and granted certain of our executive officers a greater proportion of their equity in the form of performance-based restricted stock unit awards.
We observe the following core principles in formulating our compensation policies and making compensation decisions:
| |
• | creating a direct and meaningful link between company business results, individual performance, and rewards; |
| |
• | providing for significant differentiation in compensation opportunities for performance that is below, at, and above target levels; |
| |
• | providing equity awards that establish a clear alignment between the interests of our executive officers and our stockholders; |
| |
• | ensuring that compensation plans and arrangements are simple to communicate and understand; and |
| |
• | offering total compensation that is competitive and fair. |

(1) | The amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent the cash incentive bonus paid under our incentive bonus plan for executive officers. Achievement under our incentive bonus plan takes into consideration corporate performance as well as individual performance. For 2016, Mr. Doyle was eligible to receive incentive cash bonuses, based on our achievement of certain strategic objectives, including objectives relating to customer acquisition and retention, new product introduction and operational metrics as determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee. Mr. Doyle’s target bonus was 75% of base salary. The Compensation and Talent Committee did not approve a bonus for Mr. Doyle, as Mr. Doyle elected to forgo any bonus amount prior to determination of bonus amounts by the Compensation and Talent Committee. For 2017, each of the executives was eligible to receive incentive cash bonuses, based on our achievement of certain strategic objectives, including objectives relating to customer acquisition and retention, new product introduction and operational metrics as determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee. In 2017, each of Mr. Doyle and Mr. Newell’s target bonus was 75% of base salary. Based on our and the individuals’ achievement toward the foregoing objectives, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved a bonus of 100% of the target amount for each of Mr. Doyle and Mr. Newell. For 2018, each of the executives was eligible to receive incentive cash bonuses, based on our achievement of certain strategic objectives, including objectives relating to product development, integration, and customer acquisition and retention. For 2018, achievement under our incentive bonus plan takes into consideration individual performance as well as corporate strategic objectives. Beginning in 2018, we pay bonuses for our named executive officers twice per year, with bonuses for first half and second half performance paid separately. In measuring bonus attainment, the Company weighs first half performance as 40% of the total annual bonus amount and weighs second half performance as 60% of the total annual bonus amount. Our Compensation and Talent Committee determined our first half 2018 achievement to be 89.3% of certain specified targets and our full year 2018 achievement to be 70% of such targets. In 2018, Mr. Doyle and Mr. Newell’s target bonus amounts were 89% of base salary. Ms. O’Meara’s target bonus amount was 50% of base salary for January through May 2018 and 60% of base salary from June through December 2018 (due to a promotion), and was pro-rated accordingly. Mr. Gupta’s 2018 target bonus amount was 50% of base salary. As a result, and based upon its analysis of individual performance, including with respect to product launches and revenue targets, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved the following amounts for 2018: for Mr. Newell, 50% of target bonus amount for the first half only, prior to his |
resignation; for Mr. Doyle: 52% of target bonus amount; for Ms. O’Meara: 93% of target bonus amount; and for Mr. Gupta: 88% of target bonus amount.

See the 2018 Outstanding Equity at Fiscal-Year End Table below for details on the vesting terms of these awards. The maximum achievable value of the performance-based restricted stock unit awards, assuming 150% attainment of the performance-based award target, was $1,620,000.

(10) | Represents the target value of 500,000 time-based restricted stock unit awards, 50,000 performance-based restricted stock unit awards in which the employee could vest up to 150% of the granted shares based on performance (the "150% PSUs") and 100,000 performance-based restricted stock unit awards in which the employee could vest up to 100% of the granted shares based on |
performance (the "100% PSUs"). See the 2018 Outstanding Equity at Fiscal-Year End Table below for details on the vesting terms of these awards. The maximum achievable value of the 50,000 150% PSUs, assuming 150% attainment of the performance-based award target, was $277,500. It was subsequently determined that the performance threshold for the attainment of the 150% PSUs was not met; therefore the performance-based award was canceled and no value for that award was achieved. Based on separate performance metrics, the 100% PSUs were determined to have vested as follows: 17,500 (70% achievement) for the first quarter, 25,000 (100% achievement) for the second quarter, 25,000 (100% achievement) for the third quarter and 25,000 (100% achievement) for the fourth quarter.

See the 2018 Outstanding Equity at Fiscal-Year End Table below for details on the vesting terms of these awards. The maximum achievable value of the 33,000 150% PSUs, assuming 150% attainment of the performance-based award target, was $183,150. It was subsequently determined that the performance threshold for the attainment of the 150% PSUs was not met; therefore the performance-based award was canceled and no value for that award was achieved. Based on separate performance metrics, the 100% PSUs were determined to have vested as follows: 17,500 (70% achievement) for the first quarter, 25,000 (100% achievement) for the second quarter, 25,000 (100% achievement) for the third quarter and 25,000 (100% achievement) for the fourth quarter. |

|

| |
Total | | 15,793,825 | | | | $ | 2.65 |
| | | 16,430,749 |
| |
| |
(1) | Includes 9,528,602 shares subject to restricted stock units. |
| |
(2) | The weighted average exercise price relates solely to outstanding stock option shares since shares subject to restricted stock units have no exercise price. |
| |
(3) | Includes 6,000,000 shares of common stock that remain available for purchase under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, for which the Company has not yet commenced an initial purchasing period. Additionally, there are 10,430,749 shares of common stock that remain available for purchase under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance under it on January 1 of each of the calendar years during the term of the Plan by 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 of the immediately prior year or such lesser amount determined by our Board of Directors. Similarly, our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides for automatic annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance under it on January 1 of each of the calendar years during the term of the Plan by 1% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 of the immediately prior year or such lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. Because we have not commenced our initial purchasing period, no increases have occurred. |
Employment Arrangements
We entered into employment offer letters with Mr. Doyle, Mr. Newell, Ms. O'Meara and Mr. Gupta in connection with their respective commencement dates of employment. Each of these offer letters was negotiated on our behalf by our CEO, with the oversight and approval of our Board of Directors and our Compensation and Talent Committee. Mr. Newell's employment offer letter was amended on June 11, 2018, at which time he resigned from our board of directors and as President.
Typically, these arrangements provided for at-will employment and included the named executive officer’s initial base salary, a discretionary annual incentive bonus opportunity, and standard employee benefit plan participation. These arrangements also provided for a recommended stock option grant to be submitted to our Compensation and Talent Committee, for approval, with an exercise price, in the case of stock options, equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and subject to our specified vesting requirements. These offers of employment were each subject to execution of our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Under the terms of our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, and the Jiff, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan each named executive officer who is terminated other than for cause may exercise any previously-vested stock options that he or she held at the time of termination for a period of three months following the termination date. If a named executive officer is terminated for cause, all stock options held by such officer terminate as of the date of termination. For more information about the named executive officers’ outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2018, see “2018 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table” above.
We entered into retention agreements with certain of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, which provide such officers for the following benefits upon a qualifying termination, which means a termination by us without cause or a termination by the executive for good reason (as such terms are defined in the retention agreement), outside of a change in control (as such term is defined in the retention agreement) in exchange for a customary release of claims: (i) a lump sum severance payment of 12 months of base salary to our Chief Executive Officer and our former President and up to nine months to our other executive officers, including our other named executive officers, and (ii) payment of premiums for continued medical benefits (or equivalent cash payment if applicable law so requires) for up to 12 months to our Chief Executive Officer and our former President and up to nine months to other executive officers, including our other named executive officers. If the executive officer is subject to a qualifying termination within the three months preceding a change in control (but after a legally binding and definitive agreement for a potential change of control has been executed) or within the 12 months following a change in control, the retention agreements provide the following benefits in exchange for a customary release of claims: (i) a lump sum severance payment of 24 months of base salary to our Chief Executive Officer and our former President and up to 18 months to other executive officers, including our other named executive officers, (ii) 100% acceleration of any then-unvested equity awards for executive officers, including our named executive officers, and (iv) payment of premiums for continued medical benefits (or equivalent cash payment if applicable law so requires) for up to 24 months to our Chief Executive Officer and our former President and up to 18 months to other executive officers, including our other named executive officers. Each retention agreement is in effect for three years, with automatic three-year renewals unless we give notice to the executive officer three months prior to expiration.
The benefits under the retention agreements supersede all other cash severance and vesting acceleration arrangements.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES, FOUNDERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
In addition to the executive officer and director compensation arrangements discussed above under “Executive Compensation,” the following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2018 to which we have been a participant, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest or such other persons as may be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K, which we collectively refer to as related parties.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
The charter of our Audit Committee requires that any transaction with a related party that must be reported under applicable rules of the SEC, other than compensation related matters, must be reviewed and approved or ratified by our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has adopted a related party transactions policy to set forth the procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of these transactions, and a copy of such policy is posted on our website.

The information contained in the following report of our Audit Committee is not considered to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference in any past or future filing by Castlight under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 unless and only to the extent that Castlight specifically incorporates it by reference.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management and Ernst & Young LLP our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee has also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed pursuant to AS No. 1301 “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

To be timely for the 2020 annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by our Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of Castlight not earlier than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on February 20, 2020 and not later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on March 20, 2020. A stockholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting the information required by Castlight’s bylaws.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from the directors and executive officers, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were timely met in 2018, except a Form 4 filed for Maeve O'Meara on August 20, 2018 covering one transaction on July 10, 2018, a Form 4 filed for Siobhan Nolan Mangini on August 22, 2018 covering one transaction occurring on August 17, 2018 and a Form 4 filed for Neeraj Gupta on September 20, 2018 covering one transaction occurring on September 17, 2018.

Investor Relations

“Householding” - Stockholders Sharing the Same Last Name and Address
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of our annual report and proxy materials, including the Notice of Internet Availability, unless the affected stockholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees, and helps protect the environment.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our annual report and proxy materials, including the Notice of Internet Availability. A single Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, a single set of annual report and other proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received by the brokers from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. Stockholders may revoke their consent at any time by contacting their brokers.
Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, annual report and other proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, annual report and other proxy materials, you may write or call our Investor Relations department at 150 Spear Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94105, Attn: Investor Relations, telephone number (415) 829-1680.
Any stockholders who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of our Notice of Internet Availability or annual report and other proxy materials who wish to receive only one copy in the future can contact their bank, broker or other holder of record to request information about householding or our Investor Relations department at the address or telephone number listed above.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
Any interested party wishing to communicate with our Board of Directors may write to our Board of Directors at Castlight Health, Inc., 150 Spear Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94105. Our Corporate Secretary will forward these letters and emails directly to our Board of Directors. Interested parties may indicate in their letters and email messages if their communication is intended to be provided to certain director(s) only. We reserve the right not to forward to our Board of Directors any abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials.
