Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 26, 2019, Centene Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Wellington Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Wellington Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), and WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WellCare”), providing for (i) the merger of Merger Sub I with and into WellCare (the “First Merger”), with WellCare continuing as the surviving corporation of the First Merger and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately after the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving corporation of the Second Merger and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of WellCare (the “WellCare Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than any shares of WellCare Common Stock owned by WellCare, any shares of WellCare Common Stock owned by the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and any shares of WellCare Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) 3.38 (such ratio, as may be adjusted, the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and (ii) $120.00 in cash, without interest (the “Per-Share Cash Amount” and, collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

At the First Effective Time, each outstanding WellCare restricted stock unit (each, an “RSU”) that was granted in or prior to 2017 and each outstanding RSU held by a non-employee director (regardless of when granted), whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Additionally, at the First Effective Time, each other outstanding RSU, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a restricted stock unit relating to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of WellCare Common Stock subject to the RSU multiplied by the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio, plus (ii) the quotient of the Per-Share Cash Amount divided by the volume weighted average sale price of Company Common Stock for the ten (10) full consecutive trading days ending on and including the business day prior to the First Effective Time (the “Stock Award Exchange Ratio”) and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions (including the vesting schedule and termination-related vesting provisions) applicable immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

At the First Effective Time, each outstanding WellCare performance stock unit (“PSU”) that was granted in or prior to 2017, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, with any outstanding performance criteria with respect to such PSUs measured at the First Effective Time based on actual performance through the First Effective Time. Further, at the First Effective Time, each other outstanding PSU, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a restricted stock unit subject to the same terms and conditions (including the time-based vesting schedule and termination-related vesting provisions applicable immediately prior the First Effective Time, provided that the performance-based vesting conditions will no longer apply), and relating to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Stock Award Exchange Ratio multiplied by (i) for PSUs subject to total shareholder return performance criteria granted in 2018 or thereafter and for each other PSU granted in 2018, a number of shares of WellCare Common Stock determined based on actual performance through the First Effective Time and (ii) for each other PSU granted in 2019 or thereafter, a number of shares of WellCare Common Stock based on the achievement of the applicable performance metrics at the target level of performance.

In the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to take all actions necessary to (i) cause two individuals, jointly selected by the Company and WellCare, serving on the WellCare board of directors immediately prior to the First Effective Time, to be appointed as members of the Company board of directors and (ii) appoint one such director to the nominating and governance committee of the Company board of directors.

The consummation of the First Merger is subject to certain conditions, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by WellCare’s stockholders, the approval of the issuance of the shares of Company Common Stock forming part of the Merger Consideration, as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Company Stock Issuance”), by the Company’s stockholders, the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued in connection with the First Merger, the receipt of U.S. federal antitrust clearance and certain other required regulatory approvals, the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers or the Company Stock Issuance, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Company for the registration of the Company Stock Issuance under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company or WellCare, and other conditions customary for a transaction of this type.

The Company and WellCare each made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants by the Company and WellCare to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the First Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains restrictions on the Company’s and WellCare’s ability to solicit competing acquisition proposals, subject to certain exceptions designed to allow the respective boards of directors of WellCare and the Company to fulfill their fiduciary duties.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and WellCare, including (a) if the Mergers are not consummated on or before the “outside date” of March 26, 2020 (subject to extension to August 26, 2020 under certain circumstances), (b) if the required approval of the WellCare stockholders or the Company stockholders is not obtained, (c) subject to compliance with certain terms of the Merger Agreement, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal, (d) if the other party willfully breaches its nonsolicitation obligations in the Merger Agreement, (e) if the other party materially breaches its representations, warranties or covenants and fails to cure such breach, (f) if any law or order prohibiting the Mergers or the Company Stock Issuance has become final and non-appealable or (g) if the board of directors of the other party changes its recommendation.

In the event of a termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company or WellCare may be required to pay a termination fee to the other as follows.

WellCare will be required to pay the Company (i) a termination fee of $507,658,910, which increases to $609,190,692 if such termination occurs after May 10, 2019, in connection with the acceptance by WellCare of a superior proposal or a change of recommendation related thereto, (ii) a termination fee of $640,431,240 if the board of directors of WellCare changes its recommendation in connection with an intervening event, (iii) a termination fee of $609,190,692 if WellCare willfully breaches its nonsolicitation obligations in the Merger Agreement or (iv) a termination fee of $171,823,016 if the required vote of WellCare’s stockholders is not obtained. In addition, if an acquisition proposal is made for WellCare, the Merger Agreement is later terminated under certain circumstances and within twelve months after termination WellCare enters into an agreement to sell more than 50% of its capital stock or assets, WellCare will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $609,190,692 less any termination fee paid pursuant to clause (iv) above.

The Company will be required to pay WellCare (i) a termination fee of $756,826,826, which increases to $908,192,191 if such termination occurs after May 10, 2019, in connection with the acceptance by the Company of a superior proposal or a change of recommendation related thereto, (ii) a termination fee of $954,766,149 if the board of directors of the Company changes its recommendation in connection with an intervening event, (iii) a termination fee of $908,192,191 if the Company willfully breaches its nonsolicitation obligations in the Merger Agreement or (iv) a termination fee of $256,156,772 if the required vote of the Company’s stockholders is not obtained. In addition, if an acquisition proposal is made for the Company, the Merger Agreement is later terminated under certain circumstances and within twelve months after termination the Company enters into an agreement to sell more than 50% of its capital stock or assets, the Company will be required to pay WellCare a termination fee of $908,192,191 less any termination fee paid pursuant to clause (iv) above.

In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) as a result of the failure of the Mergers to occur on or before the outside date (as it may be extended) due to the failure to achieve U.S. federal antitrust clearance or the other required regulatory approvals or (ii) as a result of a law or order prohibiting the Mergers or the Company Stock Issuance becoming final and non-appealable that relates to antitrust or other specified regulatory approvals, then, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to pay WellCare a termination fee of $546,709,595.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company has entered into a bridge financing commitment, dated March 26, 2019, with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), pursuant to which Barclays has committed to lend to the Company an amount up to $8,350,000,000 in the aggregate in the form of a senior unsecured bridge loan facility, subject to customary conditions as set forth therein.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

All statements, other than statements of current or historical fact, contained in this communication are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “goal,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “can,” “continue” and other similar words or expressions (and the negative thereof). We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and Centene Corporation is including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe-harbor provisions. In particular, these statements include, without limitation, statements about Centene’s future operating or financial performance, market opportunity, growth strategy, competition, expected activities in completed and future acquisitions, including statements about the impact of Centene’s proposed acquisition of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (the “WellCare Transaction”), Centene’s recent acquisition (the “Fidelis Care Transaction”) of substantially all the assets of New York State Catholic Health Plan, Inc., d/b/a Fidelis Care New York (“Fidelis Care”), investments and the adequacy of Centene’s available cash resources.

These forward-looking statements reflect Centene’s current views with respect to future events and are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by us in light of Centene’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environments, future developments and other factors Centene believes appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are subject to change because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future, including economic, regulatory, competitive and other factors that may cause Centene’s or its industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

All forward-looking statements included in this filing are based on information available to us on the date of this communication. Except as may be otherwise required by law, Centene undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements included in this communication, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this filing. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, as actual results may differ materially from projections, estimates, or other forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, variables and events including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the risk that regulatory or other approvals required for the WellCare Transaction may be delayed or not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated that could require the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources or otherwise have an adverse effect on Centene; (ii) the risk that Centene’s stockholders do not approve the issuance of shares of Centene common stock in the WellCare Transaction; (iii) the risk that WellCare’s stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement; (iv) the possibility that certain conditions to the consummation of the WellCare Transaction will not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis and accordingly the WellCare Transaction may not be consummated on a timely basis or at all; (v) uncertainty as to the expected financial performance of the combined company following completion of the WellCare Transaction; (vi) the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the WellCare Transaction will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; (vii) the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources, and other expenses incurred and business changes required, in connection with complying with the undertakings in connection with any regulatory, governmental or third party consents or approvals for the WellCare Transaction; (viii) the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the completion and/or integration of the WellCare Transaction or that the integration of WellCare will be more difficult or time consuming than expected; (ix) the risk that potential litigation in connection with the WellCare Transaction may affect the timing or occurrence of the WellCare Transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; (x) a downgrade of the credit rating of Centene’s indebtedness, which could give rise to an obligation to redeem existing indebtedness; (xi) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the WellCare Transaction; (xii) the possibility that competing offers will be made to acquire WellCare; (xiii) the inability to retain key personnel; (xiv) disruption from the announcement, pendency and/or completion of the WellCare Transaction, including potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships with customers, employees, suppliers or regulators, making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; and (xv) the risk that, following the WellCare Transaction, the combined company may not be able to effectively manage its expanded operations.

Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from projections, estimates, or other forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Centene’s ability to accurately predict and effectively manage health benefits and other operating expenses and reserves; (ii) competition; (iii) membership and revenue declines or unexpected trends; (iv) changes in healthcare practices, new technologies, and advances in medicine; (v) increased healthcare costs, (vi) changes in economic, political or market conditions; (vii) changes in federal or state laws or regulations, including changes with respect to income tax reform or government healthcare programs as well as changes with respect to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), and any regulations enacted thereunder that may result from changing political conditions or judicial actions, including the ultimate outcome of the District Court decision in “Texas v. United States of America” regarding the constitutionality of the ACA; (viii) rate cuts or other payment reductions or delays by governmental payors and other risks and uncertainties affecting Centene’s government businesses; (ix) Centene’s ability to adequately price products on federally facilitated and state-based Health Insurance Marketplaces; (x) tax matters; (xi) disasters or major epidemics; (xii) the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings; (xiii) changes in expected contract start dates; (xiv) provider, state, federal and other contract changes and timing of regulatory approval of contracts; (xv) the expiration, suspension, or termination of Centene’s contracts with federal or state governments (including but not limited to Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE or other customers); (xvi) the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of pending or future litigation or government investigations; (xvii) challenges to Centene’s contract awards; (xviii) cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents; (xix) the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from acquired businesses, including, without limitation, the Fidelis Care Transaction, will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; (xx) the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources, and other expenses incurred and business changes required in connection with complying with the undertakings in connection with any regulatory, governmental or third party consents or approvals for acquisitions, including the Fidelis Care Transaction; (xxi) disruption caused by significant completed and pending acquisitions, including, among others, the Fidelis Care Transaction, making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; (xxii) the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the completion and/or integration of acquisition transactions, including, among others, the Fidelis Care Transaction; (xxiii) changes in expected closing dates, estimated purchase price and accretion for acquisitions; (xxiv) the risk that acquired businesses, including Fidelis Care, will not be integrated successfully; (xxv) the risk that, following the Fidelis Care Transaction, Centene may not be able to effectively manage its expanded operations; (xxvi) restrictions and limitations in connection with Centene’s indebtedness; (xxvii) Centene’s ability to maintain the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star ratings and maintain or achieve improvement in other quality scores in each case that can impact revenue and future growth; (xxviii) availability of debt and equity financing, on terms that are favorable to us; (xxxix) inflation; and (xxx) foreign currency fluctuations.

This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive. We discuss certain of these matters more fully, as well as certain other factors that may affect Centene’s business operations, financial condition and results of operations, in Centene’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Centene’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Due to these important factors and risks, Centene cannot give assurances with respect to Centene’s future performance, including without limitation Centene’s ability to maintain adequate premium levels or Centene’s ability to control its future medical and selling, general and administrative costs.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Sub.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action by any Party or any other Person (including the Company Stockholders or the Parent Stockholders):

(i) all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned of record or Beneficially Owned by Parent, either Merger Sub or the Company (including shares held as treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (except for shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled under Section 2.1(a)(i) and Appraisal Shares) (each, a “Converted Share”) shall be (1) automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and (2) converted into the right to receive (A) subject to Section 2.3, 3.38 (such ratio, as may be adjusted under Section 2.2, the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) $120.00 in cash, without interest (such amount of cash, as may be adjusted under Section 2.2, the “Per-Share Cash Amount” and, the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Merger Consideration”); and

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) As of the First Effective Time, each holder of (i) a certificate that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented any share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or (ii) any share of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall cease to have any rights related thereto, except (subject to Section 2.4) the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to compliance with Section 2.5, any cash in lieu of fractional shares under Section 2.3 and any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.5(d).

Section 2.2 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, from the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the First Effective Time and (b) any termination hereof under Article VII, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within such period, then the Exchange Ratio (and the Per-Share Cash Amount in the case of any such action related to Company Common Stock) and

4

any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Equity Awards) the same economic effect as contemplated by Section 2.1 and Section 2.7 prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision hereof.

Section 2.3 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Converted Share into the right to receive the Merger Consideration under Section 2.1(a)(ii), and such fractional shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to (a) any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock, (b) vote any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock or (c) any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. The Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Converted Shares that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock under Section 2.1(a)(ii), shall aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed under Section 2.1(a)(ii) and cause them to be sold on the NYSE at then-prevailing prices, and each holder of Converted Shares that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock under Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the Exchange Agent, rounded to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder’s proportionate interest in the proceeds of such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Converted Shares in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of Converted Shares entitled to receive such cash.

Section 2.4 Appraisal Shares. As used herein, “Appraisal Share” means any share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and that is held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such share of Company Common Stock in accordance, and who complies in all respects, with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”). At the First Effective Time, (a) by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person (including the Company Stockholders and the Parent Stockholders), each Appraisal Share shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and (b) each holder of an Appraisal Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Appraisal Share under Section 262; provided, however, that, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 for such Appraisal Share, (i) the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Appraisal Share shall cease, such Appraisal Share shall cease to be an Appraisal Share and shall be referred to herein as a “Subsequently Converted Share” and (ii) such Subsequently Converted Share shall be deemed to be a Converted Share. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served under Section 262. Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct and control all negotiations and Actions related to such demands. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment related to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal under the DGCL or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a customary exchange agent agreement with a financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b) (i) At or prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent (1) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, assuming the effect of Section 2.3, into which Converted Shares are to be converted under Section 2.1(a)(ii)(2)(A) and (2) an amount of cash necessary to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration under Section 2.1(a)(ii)(2)(B), and (ii) after the First Effective Time, on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash equal to the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.5(d) on the shares of Parent Common Stock deposited under the foregoing clause (1) (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Exchange Fund”). If any Appraisal Share becomes a Subsequently Converted Share, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, (A) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, assuming the effect of Section 2.3, into which such Subsequently Converted Shares were converted under Section 2.1(a)(ii) and Section 2.4, (B) the aggregate amount of cash into which such Subsequently Converted Shares were converted under Section 2.1(a)(ii) and Section 2.4 and (C) on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, an amount of cash equal to the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.5(d) on the shares of Parent Common Stock deposited under the foregoing clause (A). The Parties intend that the Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to the holders of Converted Shares and Subsequently Converted Shares out of the Exchange Fund under the exchange agent agreement contemplated by Section 2.5(a). Except as provided in Section 2.5(i), the Parties intend that the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Certificates. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than five (5) Business Days) after the First Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration under Section 2.1, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 2.5(h)) and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Prior to such mailing, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the form of such letter of transmittal and such instructions. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 2.5(h)), together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange

6

Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable, (A) cash in an amount equal to the Per-Share Cash Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate, (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate under Section 2.1(a)(ii) (after taking into account all other Certificates surrendered by such holder under this Section 2.5(c)(i)), (C) any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.5(d)(i) and (D) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under Section 2.3, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate hereunder.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder of a Book-Entry Share that is a Converted Share shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares that are Converted Shares shall automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, (1) cash in an amount equal to the Per-Share Cash Amount multiplied by the number of Converted Shares previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares, (2) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive for such Converted Shares under Section 2.1(a)(ii), (3) any dividends or distributions payable under Section 2.5(d)(ii) and (4) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under Section 2.3. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon conversion of any Book-Entry Shares.

(d) Distributions Related to Unexchanged Shares.

(i) No dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate formerly representing Company Common Stock, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder under Section 2.3, until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) under this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(i), the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with a dividend or other distribution with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid by Parent and (B) by Parent at the appropriate payment

date, the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with a dividend or other distribution with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(i), and a payment date subsequent to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(i).

(ii) Subject to applicable Law, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares under this Article II, without interest, (A) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(ii), the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with a dividend or other distribution with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid by Parent and (B) by Parent at the appropriate payment date, the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with a dividend or other distribution with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(ii), and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(c)(ii).

(e) The Merger Consideration issued and paid under this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock (except for the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, under Section 2.5(d), and the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3). After the First Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock for nine (9) months after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.5(d). Any portion of the Merger Consideration provided to the Exchange Agent under Section 2.5(b) to pay for any Subsequently Converted Share shall be delivered to Parent promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of Parent’s demand to the Exchange Agent therefor; provided that, in such case, until nine (9) months after the First Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be delivered for such Subsequently Converted Share.

(g) None of Parent, Merger Subs, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

8

(h) In the event any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Entity related to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof under Section 2.5(d) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article II.

(i) The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Common Stock. Any interest, gains and other income resulting from such investments (net of any losses) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Article II. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

(j) Each of Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person under this Agreement such amounts as required to be deducted and withheld related to the making of such payment under applicable Law related to Taxes. Any amount deducted or withheld under this Section 2.5(j) shall be treated as having been paid to the Person for which such deduction or withholding was made. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority within the period required by applicable Law.

Section 2.6 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity determines that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity its right, title or interest in, to or under any right, property or asset of either of the Company or (if applicable) Merger Sub I acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, either Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the agents of the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to take all such actions as any such agents deems necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Entity or otherwise to carry out the purposes hereof.

(d) Except as provided under Section 5.4(e) or Section 5.4(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (1) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, (2) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement (in either preliminary or definitive form) or (3) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, an Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) fail to expressly reaffirm publicly the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days following Parent’s written request to do so if an Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or disclosed (provided that Parent may only make such request once with respect to any particular Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal or any material publicly announced or disclosed amendment or modification thereto) or (iii) make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer, except for a recommendation against such offer (each of the foregoing clauses (i)–(iii), a “Company Change of Recommendation”). In addition, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall cause or permit a Company Entity to enter into any acquisition agreement, agreement and plan of merger or similar definitive Contract, or any other Contract (including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or similar document, agreement or understanding), (1) constituting, related to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal (except for an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement under Section 5.4(b)) (any such Contract, an “Alternative Company Acquisition Agreement”) or (2) requiring it to abandon or terminate this Agreement or fail to consummate the First Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby.

64

(ii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Company Acquisition Proposal and the failure to make a Company Change of Recommendation or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d)(iii) in response to such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(iii) the Company Board provides to Parent a prior written notice that the Company Board intends to make a Company Change of Recommendation or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d)(iii) (a “Company Recommendation Change Notice”) in response to such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal, which Company Recommendation Change Notice shall identify the Person making such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal, attach a copy of such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal and any proposed written definitive agreement relating to such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal and summarize in reasonable detail any material terms and conditions of such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal that are not reflected in such copies;

(v) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period and taking into account any changes to the terms hereof proposed by Parent in writing (provided that, if Parent has proposed any changes to the terms hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and there is any subsequent amendment to any material term of such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board shall provide a new Company Recommendation Change Notice (including all required information and documents) and an additional three (3) Business Day period from the date of such notice shall apply), the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Company Acquisition Proposal and that the failure to make such a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Alternative Company Acquisition Proposal or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d)(iii) would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

65

(d) Except as provided under Section 5.5(e) or Section 5.5(f), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (1) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify), in a manner adverse to the Company, the Parent Recommendation, (2) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement (in either preliminary or definitive form) or (3) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, an Alternative Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) fail to expressly reaffirm publicly the Parent Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days following the Company’s written request to do so if an Alternative Parent Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or disclosed (provided that the Company may only make such request once with respect to any particular Alternative Parent Acquisition Proposal or any material publicly announced or disclosed amendment or modification thereto) or (iii) make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer, except for a recommendation against such offer (each of the foregoing clauses (i)–(iii), a “Parent Change of Recommendation”). In addition, neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall cause or permit a Parent Entity to enter into any acquisition agreement, agreement and plan of merger or similar definitive Contract, or any other Contract (including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or similar document, agreement or understanding), (1) constituting, related to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Parent Acquisition Proposal (except for an Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement under Section 5.5(b)) (any such Contract, an “Alternative Parent Acquisition Agreement”) or (2) requiring it to abandon or terminate this Agreement or fail to consummate the First Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding the Company’s covenants and agreements under Section 5.8(a), without Parent’s prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Company Entity or any of their respective Representatives to, take or cause to be taken, do or cause to be done, propose, negotiate, commit to, suffer, agree to or effect any Regulatory Concession.

Section 5.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company Entities imposed under (i) each indemnification agreement in effect on the date hereof between any Company Entity and any Indemnified Person (the “Company Indemnification Agreements”) and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision in the Constituent Documents of the Company Entities as in effect on the date hereof. The Constituent Documents of the Surviving Entity and the Surviving Entity’s Subsidiaries shall contain provisions related to indemnification and exculpation from liability substantially similar to the indemnification and exculpation from liability provisions in the Constituent Documents of the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries on the date hereof, and, during the period commencing at the First Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that could adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person.

(b) During the period commencing at the First Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity or its applicable Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Indemnified Persons against any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, or damages in connection with any actual or threatened Action arising out of or relating to (i) the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of any Company Entity, (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the First Effective Time in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director or officer of any Company Entity or (iii) the Mergers, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation shall not apply to the Persons and matters listed in Section 5.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

77

(c) Through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity or its applicable Subsidiaries to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Entity be required to expend in any one (1) year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company related to such current policy (the “Annual Cap”); provided, further, that, if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceed the Annual Cap, the Surviving Entity shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to the Annual Cap. In lieu of the obligations in, and notwithstanding anything in, the immediately preceding sentence, the Company, in consultation with Parent, may obtain a prepaid “tail” policy prior to the First Effective Time that provides the Indemnified Persons with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period ending no earlier than the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the premium payable for such “tail” policy shall not exceed the Annual Cap.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Entity or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Entity (or Parent) under this Section 5.9.

(e) From and after the Closing, the Indemnified Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9, with full rights of enforcement as if a party hereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 5.9 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that any such Indemnified Person may have under the applicable Constituent Documents or any Company Indemnification Agreement.

(f) Nothing herein is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence related to the Company Entities for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g) For purposes hereof, “Indemnified Person” means any Person who is or was an officer or director of any Company Entity at or at any time prior to the First Effective Time.

Section 5.10 Financing.

(a) Unless Parent has sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of capital markets, securities or other financing transactions that do not include a provision of the type that would constitute a Prohibited Amendment) available to satisfy its cash payment obligations under this Agreement, from and after the execution hereof, Parent shall not agree to nor permit any termination, amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waiver of any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter without the Company’s prior written

78

consent to the extent such termination, amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver would (i) add new conditions (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent any existing condition) to the consummation or availability of the Financing as compared to those in the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, (ii) reduce the amount of the Financing such that the aggregate funds that would be available on the Closing Date, together with other immediately available financial resources of Parent, would not be sufficient to pay the Required Funding Amount, (iii) adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce their rights against such parties to the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or (iv) reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), collectively, the “Prohibited Amendments”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Letter may be amended or supplemented to add lenders, lead arrangers, underwriters, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company true and complete copies of any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver of the Commitment Letter. Parent shall have the right to substitute the proceeds of capital markets, securities or other financing transactions that do not include a provision of the type that would constitute a Prohibited Amendment for all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter by reducing commitments under the Commitment Letter. For purposes hereof, (1) the term “Financing” shall be deemed to include the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as amended, replaced, supplemented, modified or waived in accordance with this Section 5.10 (including any Alternative Financing), and (2) the term “Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Commitment Letter as may be amended, replaced, supplemented, modified or waived in accordance with this Section 5.10 and any commitment letters related to any Alternative Financing.

(b) Unless Parent has sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of capital markets, securities or other financing transactions that do not include a Prohibited Amendment) available to satisfy its cash payment obligations under this Agreement, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter under its terms until the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements for the Financing on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Commitment Letter or on other terms agreed by Parent (that in each case do not include a provision of the type that would constitute a Prohibited Amendment) and (iii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, seek a waiver on a timely basis of) all conditions to funding in the Commitment Letter that are within its, or its Affiliates’, control and, in the event that all conditions to funding in the Commitment Letter are satisfied at or prior to Closing, consummate the Financing at the Closing under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing. Parent shall give prompt written notice (A) of any breach or default or threatened breach or default by any party to any Financing, in each case, of which Parent becomes aware, if such breach or default would reasonably be expected to result in a material delay of the Closing Date and (B) of the receipt of any written notice from any Person with respect to any breach or default or threatened breach, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing.

79

(c) Unless Parent has sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of capital markets, securities or other financing transactions that do not include a Prohibited Amendment) available to satisfy its cash payment obligations under this Agreement, in the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after becoming aware thereof) and use reasonable best efforts to arrange alternative financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount not less than the Required Funding Amount and otherwise on conditions no less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than as set forth in the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (the “Alternative Financing”); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to obtain financing that includes terms and conditions materially less favorable (taken as a whole and taking into account any “market flex” provision) to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent), in each case relative to those in the Financing being replaced. Parent shall promptly (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after becoming aware thereof) provide the Company with a correct and complete copy of any commitment letter and any related fee letter (or similar agreements) relating to such Alternative Financing. Upon request, Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed of its efforts to arrange and obtain the Financing.

(d) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective controlled Affiliates and Representatives, including legal, Tax, regulatory and accounting Representatives, to provide, at Parent’s sole expense, on a timely basis, all reasonable assistance and cooperation requested by Parent or the Financing Sources in connection with the Financing (which, for purposes of this Section 5.10(d), shall include any capital markets equity or debt financing that does not include a Prohibited Amendment sought by Parent in connection with the First Merger in replacement of all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter) or other financing by Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such cooperation shall include the following: (i) promptly providing Parent and the Financing Sources and their respective agents with (1) the financial information regarding the Company Entities required to be delivered under conditions 6(b) and 9 in Annex C attached to the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (provided that the information required by such condition 9 (in addition to the information required by such condition 6(b)) shall be limited to acquired company financial statements of any Company Entity that would be required to be included in a registration statement filed for the purpose of offering Notes (as defined in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof)) and (2) other information with respect to the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Financing Sources and of the type customarily prepared and delivered by the Company to prepare customary offering memoranda, private placement memoranda (including under Rule 144A under the Securities Act), registration statements and prospectuses under the Securities Act and other materials in connection with an offer or sale of securities in connection with such Financing (other than any pro forma financial statements, which shall be the responsibility of Parent, and projections) (all information required to be delivered under this clause (i) being referred to as “Required Information”); provided, however, that all information pursuant to the foregoing clause (2) shall be deemed to have been delivered, as of any date of determination, if the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under the Exchange Act to file reports with the SEC as of such date; (ii) participating (including by making members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors, in each case with appropriate seniority and expertise, available to participate) upon reasonable advance notice in a

(e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.10(d), none of the Company Entities shall be required to (i) agree to pay any commitment or other fee prior to the Closing in connection with the Financing, (ii) make any payment or incur any other liability or give any indemnity in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing other than expenses reimbursable under Section 5.10(f), (iii) take any action that would require any director, officer or employee of any Company Entity to execute any document, agreement, certificate or instrument (including any resolutions) that would be effective prior to the Closing, (iv) take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operation of the Company Entities, (v) take any action that would conflict with or violate the Constituent Documents of the Company Entities, any Contract to which a Company Entity is a party or applicable Law, (vi) cause any director, officer or employee of any Company Entity to incur any actual or potential personal liability or breach any fiduciary duty, or (vii) provide access to or disclose information that the Company reasonably determines could jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing clause (iii) shall not apply to (1) customary authorization letters to the extent required by the foregoing clause (ix) of Section 5.10(d) or (2) customary resolutions, representation letters, officer’s certificates, supplemental indentures (which do not result in the creation or assumption of any additional obligations on any Company Entity prior to the First Effective Time) and solicitation agreements and similar documents required to be executed in connection with the closing of a sale of securities (registered or unregistered), debt offering into escrow or in connection with any consent solicitation, offer to purchase or offer to exchange, in each case, on customary terms, referred to in Section 5.10(g) below.

(f) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company Entities and their respective Representatives and Affiliates from and against any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, or damages suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the cooperation or assistance obligations pursuant to this Section 5.10 and the provision of any information utilized in connection therewith (other than with respect to any material misstatement or omission in the information provided by any Company Entity expressly for use in connection therewith), except to the extent any such cost or expense, judgment, fine, loss, claim, or damage results from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Company Entities or their respective Representatives or controlled Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Parent will reimburse the Company Entities promptly on demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or otherwise payable by the Company Entities in connection with their cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.10, except to the extent any such expense results from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Company Entities or their respective Representatives or controlled Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

82

(g) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.10 (including Section 5.10(f)), if requested by Parent, the Company shall cause its controlled Affiliates and Representatives to use its and their reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate with Parent and Merger Subs to, with respect to the Company’s 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025 and the Company’s 5.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Notes”) and the related indentures (as amended or supplemented prior to the date hereof), (i) commence any of (1) one or more offers to purchase any or all of the outstanding series of Notes for cash (the “Offers to Purchase”) or (2) one or more offers to exchange any or all of the outstanding Notes for securities issued by any Parent Entity (the “Offers to Exchange”) and (ii) conduct consent solicitations to obtain from the requisite holders thereof consent to certain amendments to such indentures (the “Consent Solicitations” and, together with the Offers to Purchase and Offers to Exchange, if any, the “Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations”); provided that any such transaction shall be funded using consideration provided by the Parent Entities, Parent shall be responsible for all other liabilities incurred by any Company Entity in connection with any Company Notes Offers and Consent Solicitations and no Offer to Purchase or Offer to Exchange shall be consummated prior to Closing. Any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall be made on customary terms and conditions (including price to be paid and conditionality) as are reasonably proposed by any Parent Entity, are reasonably acceptable to the Company and are permitted or required by the terms of such Notes, the applicable indentures and applicable Laws, including SEC rules and regulations. Subject to the receipt of the requisite consents, in connection with any or all of the Consent Solicitations, the Company shall execute supplemental indentures to the applicable Notes indentures in accordance with the terms thereof amending the terms and provisions of such indentures in a form as reasonably requested by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, which supplemental indentures shall not become effective until Closing. At the Parent Entities’ expense, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective controlled Affiliates and Representatives to, on a timely basis, upon the reasonable request of any Parent Entity, provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations (including but not limited to requesting, and using reasonable best efforts to cause, (i) the Company’s independent accountants (and certified independent auditors of any company recently acquired or whose acquisition by the Company is pending of whose financial statements would be required to be included in order for a registration statement filed by the Company to be declared effective) to provide customary consents for use of their reports to the extent required in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations and (ii) the Company’s Representatives to furnish any customary certificates, legal opinions or negative assurance letters in connection with the Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations). The dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations will be selected by the Parent Entities and reasonably acceptable to the Company and their fees and out-of-pocket expenses will be paid directly by Parent.

(h) On or prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause the agent under the Existing Credit Facility to deliver an executed payoff letter (the “Payoff Letter”) with respect to the Existing Credit Facility, in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent; provided that any such Payoff Letter shall be contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.

83

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein, each of Parent and each Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing is not a condition to Closing.

Section 5.11 NYSE Stock Exchange Listing; Blue-Sky Laws; Delisting.

(a) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the First Merger to be listed on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the First Effective Time, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection therewith, including by providing all information reasonably requested by Parent in connection therewith. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the Parent Stock Issuance, except for qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which Parent is not now so qualified.

(b) Prior to the First Effective Time, upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to be taken prior to the First Effective Time to cause the delisting of the Company Common Stock from the NYSE and the termination of the Company’s registration under the Exchange Act, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable following the First Effective Time, subject to compliance with the Company’s obligations under the Exchange Act.

Prior to the First Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities related to Company Common Stock) or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities related to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act related to the Company or shall become subject to such reporting requirements related to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 5.13 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year immediately following the First Effective Time (or if shorter, during the relevant period of employment), Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each employee of any Company Entity who continues to be employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than that provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (ii) target cash and equity incentive opportunities that are in the aggregate no less favorable than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (iii) employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than those that would have been provided to each such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Benefit Plans set forth in Section 3.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and designated thereon as a severance benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company.

84

(b) From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, assume and honor all Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the First Effective Time and the Mergers shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control”, “change of control” or term of similar import, as applicable, under such Company Benefit Plans.

(c) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under any benefit plans, policies, programs, contracts, agreements or arrangements of Parent and its Subsidiaries to the extent such plans provide benefits to any Continuing Employee on or after the First Effective Time (excluding the Company Benefit Plans) (the “New Plans”), each such Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company Entities and their respective predecessors before the First Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the First Effective Time, to credit for such service under any Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the First Effective Time; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not be required to apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service, (ii) for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan and (iii) for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accruals under any retiree medical or welfare arrangement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for any New Plans that are welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plans”), in which a Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the First Effective Time, Parent, the Surviving Entity and their respective Subsidiaries shall (1) waive all limitations as to eligibility waiting periods and preexisting and actively at-work conditions, if any, related to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee (and each covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) under any Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plan to the same extent waived or otherwise satisfied under a comparable Company Benefit Plan, and (2) provide, credit to each Continuing Employee (and each covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employee (or covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) under the Company Benefit Plans during the relevant plan year, up to and including the First Effective Time.

(d) If requested by Parent no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, the Company shall terminate or cause the termination of each U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan provided to current and former employees of the Company Entities (each, a “Company Qualified Plan”). In such event, prior to the Closing Date and thereafter (as applicable), the Company and Parent shall take any and all action as may be required, including amendments to a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent Qualified Plan”), to permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) in cash or notes (representing plan loans from the Company Qualified Plan) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributable to such Continuing Employee from such Company Qualified Plan to the corresponding Parent Qualified Plan. If the Company Qualified Plan is terminated as described herein, the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in a Parent Qualified Plan as of the Closing Date.

85

(e) To the extent that the First Effective Time occurs (i) in 2019 or (ii) following the end of the 2019 performance period with respect to the Company’s annual cash incentive plans (each, a “Company Incentive Plan”), but prior to payment of the bonuses for such 2019 performance period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay (without proration) to each Continuing Employee as soon as practicable following the First Effective Time (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the First Effective Time), an amount based on the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria as determined in good faith and consistent with past practice by the Company Board or a committee thereof (and taking into account any shortened performance period and the information available to the Company Board or the applicable committee thereof at the time of such determination) (each such payment, a “2019 Bonus”); provided, however, any 2019 Bonus payable to any Continuing Employee pursuant to this provision in excess of the pro-rated amount that would have been payable to such Continuing Employee with respect to the portion of the 2019 performance period elapsing prior to the First Effective Time shall be treated as the payment of post-closing compensation for purposes of Section 5.13(a). No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date that the Company provides its calculations as to the achievement of the performance metrics applicable to the 2019 Bonuses to the Company Board or a committee thereof, the Company shall provide such calculations to Parent. The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or adjustments to such calculations by Parent prior to providing such calculations to the Company Board or a committee thereof.

(f) In the event that the First Effective Time occurs in 2020, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to each Continuing Employee who remains employed with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates through December 31, 2020, at the same time or times that Parent or the Surviving Corporation pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2020 performance period to other similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries, but in no event later than March 15, 2021, a bonus for the 2020 performance period (the “2020 Annual Bonus”) that is no less than the sum of (i) the pro-rata portion of 2020 Annual Bonus that such Continuing Employee would have been entitled to receive under the Company Incentive Plans determined based on the Continuing Employee’s target bonus for such 2020 performance period and the number of days elapsed from January 1, 2020 through the First Effective Time, and (ii) the 2020 Annual Bonus earned by such Continuing Employee for the period following the First Effective Time through the remainder of calendar year 2020, based on actual performance as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Parent Board or a committee thereof based on actual results (and after giving appropriate effect to the Mergers and actions taken by Parent in connection therewith that affect the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated without “Cause” or due to the Continuing Employee’s resignation with “Good Reason” (as each term is defined in Section 5.13(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), in each case, after the First Effective Time but prior to December 31, 2020 (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to such Continuing Employee, as soon as administratively practicable following the date of such Qualifying Termination (but no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such

86

Qualifying Termination), a pro-rated portion of 100% of the target 2020 Annual Bonus applicable to such Continuing Employee, with such proration based on the relative portion of the 2020 calendar year during which such Continuing Employee was employed with the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that the foregoing treatment upon a Qualifying Termination shall not apply to any Continuing Employee who is otherwise entitled to a prorated bonus under the terms of an applicable Company Benefit Plan.

(g) Nothing in this Section 5.13 shall be treated as an amendment, establishment or termination of, or undertaking to amend, establish or terminate, any Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement. The provisions of this Section 5.13 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.13, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or any other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or service or continued employment or service for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or a right of any employee or beneficiary of such Continuing Employee or other Person under a Company Benefit Plan that such Continuing Employee or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that Company Benefit Plan.

Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.10 Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision hereof was not performed under their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.

The Parties further agree not to assert (i) that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason or (ii) that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Centene and WellCare to Combine to Create a Premier Healthcare Enterprise

Focused on Government-Sponsored Healthcare Programs

Transaction Valued at $17.3 Billion

Combined Company to Have Approximately 22 Million Members Across All 50 States

Increased Scale and Leading Medicare Platform Enhances Growth

Transaction Projected to Be Mid-Single Digit Accretive to Adjusted EPS in Year Two

Companies to Host Conference Call at 8:00 AM ET

ST. LOUIS and TAMPA, Fla., March 27, 2019 – Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) (“Centene”) and WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) (“WellCare”) today announced that Centene will acquire WellCare in a cash and stock transaction for $305.39 per share based on Centene’s closing stock price on March 26, 2019 for a total enterprise value of $17.3 billion pursuant to the terms of a definitive merger agreement. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of both companies, will create a premier healthcare enterprise focused on government-sponsored healthcare programs and a leader in Medicaid, Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Centene and WellCare are two high-performing companies with decades of experience serving a broad range of states and large government programs. Together, the combined company will have meaningful product diversification and the opportunity to better serve members, help them achieve better health outcomes and drive growth. WellCare brings to Centene a high-quality Medicare platform and further extends Centene’s robust Medicaid offerings. The combination will enable the combined company to provide access to more comprehensive and differentiated solutions across more markets with a continued focus on affordable, high-quality, culturally-sensitive healthcare services. The enterprise would have approximately 22 million members across all 50 states in the U.S. The enterprise would also be expected to have estimated pro forma 2019 revenues of approximately $97 billion and $5 billion in EBITDA, based on the most recent 2019 outlooks publicly reported by both companies.

“This transformational combination creates a leading healthcare enterprise that is committed to helping people live healthier lives through a localized approach and provides access to high-quality healthcare through a wide range of affordable health solutions,” said Michael F. Neidorff, Centene’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “With the addition of WellCare, we expect to bolster and diversify our product offerings, increase our scale and have access to new markets, which will in turn, enable us to continue investing in technology and better serve members with innovative programs designed to meet their needs. Centene has grown significantly by adding capabilities that have increased revenues and enabled margin expansion. The addition of WellCare is the next logical step in our growth strategy and to drive value for our collective shareholders. We have long admired the WellCare organization and together look forward to building on our mission of transforming the health of our communities, one person at a time.”

“We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to create a high-performing combined business focused on government-sponsored managed care that will bring benefits to all of our stakeholders,” said Ken Burdick, WellCare’s Chief Executive Officer. “By combining with Centene, we will create a more competitive, diversified company that is better able to deliver fully integrated, high-quality, cost-effective services for our members and government partners. Both companies share a deep history and focus on the government-sponsored healthcare market and, together, our expertise will allow us to deliver enhanced value for our shareholders, opportunities for our associates and better outcomes for our members.”

“I could not be more excited to have the next chapter of WellCare’s successful journey be as part of the Centene organization,” said Christian Michalik, Chairman of the WellCare Board of Directors. “This transaction is a testament to the mission-driven company the WellCare team has built, and their

Page 1

unrelenting focus on putting members first. As part of the combined company, our shareholders can look forward to a continued bright future as Centene increases its scale and delivers diversified services to meet the needs of the communities both companies serve.”

Strategic and Financial Benefits of the Transaction

• Delivering Significant Benefits to Members and Government Partners Through Increased Scale and Diversified Services. The combined company would be the leader in government-sponsored healthcare with increased scale and diversification both geographically and in its managed care service offerings, and enhance access to high-quality services for members. It will offer affordable and high-quality products to its more than 12 million Medicaid and approximately 5 million Medicare members (including Medicare Prescription Drug Plan), as well as individuals served in the Health Insurance Marketplace and the TRICARE program. The combined company will operate 31 NCQA accredited health plans across the country and will have increased exposure to government-sponsored healthcare solutions through WellCare’s Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. It will also benefit from leveraging Centene’s growing position in the Health Insurance Marketplace to new markets. The transaction creates a company with the size and scale to better serve members through enhanced healthcare programs, expanded capabilities and increased investment in technology.

• Sharing a Commitment to Local Communities. Centene and WellCare share strong commitments to the communities in which their employees and members live and work. The combined company will enhance its already robust efforts to address the social determinants of health such as food insecurity, housing instability, homelessness, unemployment, lack of access to transportation and other non-medical barriers to health.

• Expanding National Footprint. With the addition of WellCare’s markets, and its healthcare plans in Hawaii, Kentucky, and New Jersey, and enhanced presence in Michigan, the combined company will operate nationally, while maintaining a local approach. The combination will also create new opportunities for Centene to provide health solutions and innovative programs across a wider footprint for the benefit of all stakeholders.

• Delivering Shareholder Value and Earnings Accretion. The transaction is expected to generate adjusted diluted earnings per share accretion of approximately mid-single digits in year two following closing, with long-term growth opportunities and cost reduction across markets and products. The transaction is expected to be slightly dilutive to adjusted earnings per share in year one.

• Achieving Cost Synergies. The combination is expected to generate approximately $500 million of annual net cost synergies by year two, driven primarily by the ability to capitalize on economies of scale in pharmacy and other medical cost management, leveraging WellCare’s Medicare capabilities across markets, optimizing capabilities in IT systems and process management, as well as increased efficiencies in G&A. These synergies would be in addition to the previously communicated efforts of Centene Forward.

Transaction Terms and Financing

Under the terms of the merger agreement, WellCare shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 3.38 shares of Centene common stock and $120 in cash for each share of WellCare common stock. Based on Centene’s closing stock price on March 26, 2019, the implied cash and stock consideration to be received by WellCare shareholders is $305.39 per share. The cash and stock consideration represents an approximately 21.0% premium to WellCare shareholders based on the 30-day volume weighted average closing stock price (“VWAP”) of WellCare prior to signing and an approximately 32.1% premium based on the closing stock price of WellCare on March 26, 2019.

Page 2

Upon completion of the transaction, Centene shareholders will own approximately 71% of the combined entity, with WellCare shareholders owning approximately 29%.

The transaction is not contingent upon financing. Centene intends to primarily fund the cash portion of the acquisition through debt financing, with Barclays providing an $8.35 billion financing commitment. Upon closing, Centene expects its debt-to-capital ratio to be approximately 40%, and intends to use its strong earnings and cash flows to achieve its targeted debt-to-capital ratio in the mid-to-upper 30% range within 12 to 18 months post close.

The transaction is subject to approval by Centene and WellCare shareholders. The transaction is also conditioned on clearance under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act, receipt of required state regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Centene and WellCare expect to complete the transaction in the first half of 2020.

Organization and Management

The board of the combined company will consist of 11 members, nine of whom will be from the board of Centene and two of whom will be from the board of WellCare. After the close of the transaction, Michael Neidorff will lead the combined company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Ken Burdick and Drew Asher are expected to join the Centene senior management team in new positions created as a result of the acquisition.

The combined company will be headquartered in St. Louis, the location of Centene’s headquarters, with operations throughout the country, and will continue to support substantial operations in WellCare’s home state of Florida consistent with the size of the business, as part of its commitment to a strong local approach.
