iGrad Partners with Castlight Health to Integrate Financial Wellness Education

Into Health Navigation Platform

San Diego, CA, June 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- San Diego-based financial wellness education company,
iGrad has announced a new partnership with leading health navigation provider, Castlight Health, to
integrate its Enrich™ platform with Castlight's health navigation solution for employers.

iGrad's Enrich platform is used by more than 250 employers and financial institutions nationwide to
provide personalized, interactive and adaptive financial wellness education and action plans to employees
and customers. Castlight's health navigation platform connects users with hundreds of health vendors,
benefits resources and plan designs, guiding individuals to the best resources available to them, whether
they are healthy, chronically ill or actively seeking medical care.

The integration of Enrich into the Castlight platform has multiple benefits to Castlight's hundreds of
employer-customers. Financial wellness education can help reduce employees' financial stress, which is
proven to negatively impact productivity and health. It also can increase employee engagement and
improve retention. After surveying more than 350 major employers across the country, Castlight found
that both employers and their employees want more emphasis on overall financial wellbeing.

“Retirement has consumed too much of the focus of financial wellness in the workplace,” said Pierce
Graham-Jones, Castlight's senior vice president of growth. “In our recent survey of the state of digital
health, we found that 23 percent of employers are committed to offering, or considering offering, a
financial wellness solution in 2018 -- making financial wellness this year's fastest growing solution.”

Designed around a proprietary behavioral algorithm, Enrich personalizes financial information for each
employee's situation and needs. It also offers tools, quizzes, videos, articles and a library of multimedia
content. Because it is not tied to any specific bank or financial solution, the platform's prescriptive
approach is completely objective.

“We are excited to partner with Castlight Health to offer comprehensive, adaptive and interactive
financial wellness education to their employer customers,” said iGrad Executive Vice President Kris
Alban. “We are especially pleased that Castlight recognizes the importance of financial well-being to
overall health.”

In addition to Enrich, iGrad offers a financial wellness education platform, also called iGrad™, for
college students that is used at more than 600 colleges and universities nationwide. iGrad is a three-time
winner of Education Program of the Year (The Institute for Financial Literacy), Best Product award for
three years running (University Business Magazine), as well as the Outstanding Consumer Information
Award (AFCPE).

Castlight revolutionized the healthcare sector with the introduction of data-driven price transparency tools
in 2008 and the first consumer-grade wellbeing platform in 2012. Today, Castlight serves as the health
navigation platform for millions of people and is a trusted partner to many of the largest employers in the
