SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Evans,1 and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Evans

In our opinion dated March 4, 2019, we suggested remittitur of $1,800,000 of the damages

awarded to Evolv Health, LLC and EvolvHealth Mexico Servicos, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. (together

“Evolv”) against Epic Era Incorporated (“Epic”). We stated that if the remittitur was filed by

Evolv within fifteen days of the date of the opinion, we would modify the trial court’s judgment

to award Evolv damages in the amount of $1,200,000 against Epic, and affirm the trial court’s

judgment as modified.

1 The Honorable David Evans, Justice of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas—Dallas, Retired, sitting by assignment.

On March 6, 2019, Evolv filed their consent to the suggestion of remittitur. Accordingly,

we vacate our judgment, but not our opinion, dated March 4, 2019, and modify the trial court’s

judgment to reflect the specified remittitur. The trial court's judgment is modified to award Evolv

Health, LLC and EvolvHealth Mexico Servicos, S. DE R.L. DE C.V., on their claims of tortious

interference with existing contracts, damages of $1,200,000 against Epic Era Incorporated and

prejudgment interest thereon is modified by 1.2/3.0 to award $176,876.71. As modified, we affirm

the trial court’s judgment. This Court’s opinion of March 4, 2019, otherwise remains in effect.
