HEALTHEQUITY, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED NON-EMPLOYEE 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY 
(as amended and restated effective as of November 30, 2017)
HealthEquity, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that, in addition to cash compensation, the granting of equity-based compensation representing the right to acquire the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to members (“Directors”) of its board of directors (the “Board”) represents a powerful tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (“Non-Employee Directors”) and to align the interests of its Non-Employee Directors with those of its stockholders.  This Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”), is intended to establish the Company’s policy regarding cash compensation and equity grants to its Non-Employee Directors.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy will have the meaning given to such term in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”).  Non-Employee Directors shall be solely responsible for any tax obligations they incur as a result of any compensation received under this Policy.
I.    Cash Compensation
(a)    Annual Retainer Fee.  The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director an annual fee of $40,000 for serving on the Board (the “Annual Fee”).  Each Annual Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter.  For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as a Non-Employee Director following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(b)    Annual Audit and Risk Committee Chairperson Retainer Fee.  The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee an additional annual fee of $40,000 for serving as the chairperson (the “Annual Audit and Risk Committee Chairperson Fee”).  The Annual Audit and Risk Committee Chairperson Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter.  For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as the chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(c)    Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Retainer Fee.  The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as chairperson of the Compensation Committee an additional annual fee of $15,000 for serving as the chairperson (the “Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Fee”).  The Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter.  For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director

who is not continuing as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(d)    Annual Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson Retainer Fee.  The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee an additional annual fee of $5,000 for serving as the chairperson (the “Annual Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson Fee”).  The Annual Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter.  For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(e)    Annual Chairman Retainer Fee.  The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as Chairman of the Board an additional annual fee of $100,000 for serving as the Chairman of the Board (the “Annual Board Chairman Fee”).  The Annual Board Chairman Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter.  For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as the Chairman of the Board, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(f)    Form of Payment.  Unless otherwise elected by a Non-Employee Director as herein provided, all retainer fees payable pursuant to this Section I shall be paid by the Company in cash. A Non-Employee Director may elect to have all (but not less than all) of his or her Annual Fee, Annual Audit and Risk Committee Chairperson Fee, Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Fee, Annual Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson Fee and/or Annual Board Chairman Fee, as applicable, in respect of each fiscal year be paid in Restricted Stock Unit Awards under the Plan (rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock using standard rounding principles) with an aggregate fair value on the date of grant equal to the amount of the cash retainer fee(s) elected to be received in Restricted Stock Unit Awards on the first day of the fiscal year, which shall vest in equal installments at the beginning of each quarter to which the cash retainer fee relates.  For these purposes, the grant date fair value of each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  To make such election, a Non-Employee Director shall be required to complete a written election form (“Form of Payment Election Form”) in such form as the Company may prescribe from time to time, and file such completed Form of Payment Election Form with the Company prior to the first day of the calendar year during which the fiscal year to which such cash retainer fee(s) apply commences.  Once a Form of Payment Election Form is filed with the Company, it shall be irrevocable with respect to the cash retainer fee(s) for the immediately following fiscal year.
(g)    Election for First Year of Service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the fiscal year in which a Non-Employee Director commences service with the Company, such Non-Employee Director may file a Form of Payment Election Form with the Company on or before the

commencement of his or her service and such election shall apply to all applicable annual retainers for the then current fiscal year that are due and payable after the date such Form of Payment Election Form is filed.
