Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on January 4, 2021, Magellan Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Magellan”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Centene Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Centene”) and Mayflower Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Centene (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Centene.

On February 8, 2021, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) and on February 19, 2021, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the special meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on March 31, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) to, among other things, vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

As described more fully below, on March 19, 2021, the Company affirmatively waived the standstill restrictions contained in certain confidentiality agreements to the extent required to permit each such party to make a confidential alternative acquisition proposal to the Board should it choose to do so, consistent with Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement.

Since the filing of the Preliminary Proxy Statement, four actions (collectively, the “Federal Stockholder Actions”) have been filed in federal court in Delaware and Pennsylvania by purported Magellan stockholders against Magellan and the members of the Magellan board of directors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement: Shiva Stein v. Magellan Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00185-RGA (D. Del. Feb. 10, 2021); Marc Waterman v. Magellan Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00217-UNA (D. Del. Feb. 16, 2021); Michael Kent v. Magellan Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00352 (D. Del. Mar. 9, 2021); and Jeffrey D. Justice II v. Magellan Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-01194-PBT (E.D. Pa. Mar. 11, 2021). Each of the Federal Stockholder Actions alleges, among other things, that the preliminary proxy statement or Definitive Proxy Statement, as applicable at the time of the filing of the complaint, is false and misleading and/or omits material information concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in violation of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The plaintiffs in the Federal Stockholder Actions, among other things, seek to enjoin the defendants from consummating the transaction, rescissory damages should the transaction not be enjoined and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

In addition, one putative class action lawsuit, Bryan Anderson v. Magellan Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 2021-0202-KSJM (Del. Ch. Mar. 9, 2021) (the “Anderson Action” and, together with the Federal Stockholder Actions, the “Stockholder Actions”) has been filed against Magellan and the members of the Magellan board of directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Anderson Action alleges breach of fiduciary duty claims against Magellan’s directors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and further alleges that the Definitive Proxy Statement is false and misleading and/or omits material information concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. On March 9, 2021, the plaintiff in the Anderson Action also filed a motion to expedite proceedings and a motion for a preliminary injunction.

SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Page references in the below disclosures are to pages in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. To the extent the following information differs from or conflicts with information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information contained herein shall be deemed to supersede the information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement. The Company denies the allegations in the complaints relating to the Stockholder Actions and denies any alleged violations of law or any legal or equitable duty.

1. The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Background of the Merger” is amended and supplemented as follows:

A. The disclosure in the fifth full paragraph on page 30 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined and deleted text marked with a strikethrough):

On March 4, 2019, Goldman Sachs commenced contacting third parties, including Centene and the three other parties that had contacted Mr. Smith on an unsolicited basis. Centene informed Goldman Sachs that it was not interested in participating in the process. A total of 34 parties expressed potential interest in the Company, with 24 26 of those parties entering into confidentiality agreements or amendments to existing confidentiality agreements with Magellan. Twenty-five of those confidentiality agreements, with certain exceptions, included “standstill” provisions that prohibited the third party from requesting waivers of the standstill restrictions. The, among other things, with certain exceptions, acquiring or making proposals to acquire securities of the Company or offering or indicating an interest in any merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, in each case, without the Company’s prior consent. The Company’s purpose in entering into the standstill provisions was to incent each counterparty to participate in the Company’s sale process and elicit the highest potential price that such third party would be willing to offer to engage in a transaction involving the Company. The standstill provisions also generally included a provision that precluded the third party from requesting the Company, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any of the standstill restrictions. The purpose of these “don’t request” provisions was to make it more difficult for the counterparty to circumvent or make ineffective the standstill restrictions, which, as noted in the preceding sentence, were thought by the Company to be a value-enhancing tool in the context of the sale process. As of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, 20 standstill provisions had expired. Six standstill provisions remained in effect as of such time, including any such provisions as were subsequently amended, as discussed further below. The parties entering into confidentiality agreements with Magellan received certain materials regarding the Company and details concerning the process contemplated to be undertaken pursuant to the Broad Outreach and such parties were requested to submit “first round” indications of interest on March 27, 2019.

B. The disclosure in the last paragraph beginning on page 32 and ending on page 33 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined and deleted text marked with a strikethrough):

In late February 2020, following the receipt of unsolicited proposals from a number of interested parties, the Board authorized Magellan’s management team and a financial advisor engaged by the Company for this purpose to commence a process to explore the potential for a sale of its MCC Business. In the Board’s view, a sale of the MCC Business at an attractive price would eliminate the risks of execution of its profitability improvement initiatives regarding the MCC Business, provide the Company with additional financial flexibility and allow the Company’s senior management team to focus on the remaining businesses and improving the services provided to the customers of those businesses. Pursuant to this process, a number of three parties (a) entered into amendments to the confidentiality agreements previously executed and delivered in connection with the Broad Outreach to extend the time periods during which the standstill and non-solicitation and no-hire provisions contained therein would be in effect, (b). One such confidentiality agreement did not contain a standstill provision. Another such confidentiality agreement was with Molina; the amendment to its agreement, given the lapse of time since its original execution and the Company’s desire to maintain the effectiveness of the standstill restrictions, extended the term of the standstill provision contained therein to February 11, 2022. The amendment to the third confidentiality agreement, given the lapse of time from its original execution and the Company’s desire to maintain the effectiveness of the standstill restrictions, extended the term of the standstill provision contained therein to August 11, 2021, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances. The standstill provision in the third confidentiality agreement terminated in accordance with its terms upon the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement. The three parties that entered into amendments to their confidentiality agreements in connection with the MCC Business sale process were provided due diligence access and, management presentations, (c) were provided with and transaction documentation for their review and comment and (d) were asked to submit proposals to purchase the MCC Business, as well as to consider commercial agreements with Pharmacy Management and the Behavioral and Specialty Health businesses of Healthcare. Following the conclusion of this process, on April 30, 2020, Magellan publicly announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Molina to sell the MCC Business to Molina for a purchase price of $850 million, subject to certain adjustments (which we refer to as the “MCC Business Sale Announcement” and such sale, the “MCC Business Sale”), as well as various binding letters of intent to enter into long-term commercial agreements, including new medical pharmacy and musculoskeletal management services to be provided by Magellan to Molina members and Molina’s retaining Magellan for behavioral health, pharmacy benefit management (which we refer to as “PBM”), radiology and musculoskeletal management services in certain markets serviced by the MCC Business.

C. The following disclosure is hereby added as three new paragraphs following the second paragraph on page 43 of the Definitive Proxy Statement (with new text in bold and underlined):

Six confidentiality agreements containing standstill provisions remained in effect in accordance with their terms following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement. Following Magellan’s entry into the Merger Agreement, one such standstill provision allows the making by the counterparty on a confidential basis directly to the Board of any offers or proposals that would otherwise be prohibited by the standstill provision. Five such standstill provisions prohibit the counterparty from, among other things, with certain exceptions, acquiring or making proposals to acquire securities of the Company or offering or indicating an interest in any merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, in each case without the Company’s prior consent. Four of these standstill provisions prohibit the counterparty from requesting the Company, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive such provisions and the fifth, which is scheduled to expire on March 20, 2021, as noted below, prohibits the counterparty from requesting the Company, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive the standstill provision in a manner that would reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement with respect thereto. Thus, absent the Company’s decision affirmatively to waive the “don’t request” clauses of the foregoing confidentiality agreements, none of the parties to such confidentiality agreements, other than the counterparty to the confidentiality agreement containing the standstill provision scheduled to expire on March, 20, 2021, could approach the Company to request a waiver of the standstill restriction in order to present an offer to purchase securities of the Company in a consensual merger or other form that might constitute an alternative acquisition proposal under Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement permits the Company to waive the standstill provisions that remained in effect following the execution of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances — see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—No Solicitation” beginning on page 87.

Of the five standstill provisions containing these “don’t request” clauses, one expired on March 11, 2021 and one is scheduled to expire on March 20, 2021 (we refer to the counterparty to the latter standstill provision as “Company A”). The remaining three standstill provisions are scheduled to expire after March 31, 2021, the scheduled date of the special meeting. Of these three standstill provisions, one is with Molina, which throughout the Broad Outreach and subsequently in the MCC Business Sale process, expressed interest only in the MCC Business, which it purchased on December 31, 2020. Of the remaining two standstill provisions, one counterparty (which we refer to as “Company B”) determined early in the Broad Outreach process not to pursue any transaction with the Company pursuant to such process and the other (which we refer to as “Company C”) expressed an interest in considering a transaction involving only a part of one of the Company’s business segments, which was deemed unattractive by the Board.

On March 19, 2021, the Company affirmatively waived the standstill restrictions applicable to each of Company A, B and C to the extent required to permit each such party to make a confidential alternative acquisition proposal to the Board should it choose to do so, consistent with Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement. For more information on alternative acquisition proposals, see the section entitled “The Merger—Covenants and Agreements—No Solicitation” beginning on page 87. The Board is aware of the standstill restrictions applicable to Molina and understands that the impact of the “don’t request” clause prohibits Molina from indicating any interest that it might have in a transaction involving the Company beyond the MCC Business Sale that Molina completed on December 31, 2020. In the Board’s judgment and belief, it has a valid corporate purpose for maintaining the standstill restrictions in place with Molina.

2. The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Reasons for Recommending the Adoption of the Merger Agreement” is amended and supplemented as follows:

A. The disclosure in the fourth bullet point under the heading “Negotiations with Centene and the Merger Agreement” on page 45 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined and deleted text marked with a strikethrough):

Magellan’s ability, under certain circumstances, to furnish information and conduct negotiations with third parties regarding unsolicited alternative acquisitions proposals, including that, although standstill restrictions under six confidentiality agreements entered into or amended in connection with the Broad Outreach and/or the exploration of the MCC Business Sale remained in effect in accordance with their terms following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, five of which standstill restrictions prohibited the making of confidential proposals to the Board, Magellan would be permitted to waive such standstill restrictions in certain circumstances to the extent that the Board determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failure to make such waiver would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and solely to the extent necessary to permit the counterparty to make a confidential alternative acquisition proposal to the Board. For additional details concerning these standstill restrictions, please see the section entitled “—Background of the Merger”;

B. The disclosure in the ninth bullet point under the heading “Negotiations with Centene and the Merger Agreement” on page 45 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined):

[T]hat the Merger Agreement is subject to the adoption by Magellan stockholders, which, in the Board’s view, would allow sufficient time for a third party to make a superior proposal to acquire Magellan if it desires to do so, except, as discussed above, that (i) Companies A, B and C were subject to contractual restrictions disclosed above (which in the case of Company A are scheduled to expire on March 20, 2021), until the Board exercised its rights to waive the standstill restrictions applicable to those counterparties on March 19, 2021 to the extent required to permit each such party to make a confidential alternative acquisition proposal to the Board should it choose to do so, consistent with Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) Molina, which throughout the Broad Outreach and subsequently in the MCC Business Sale process, expressed interest only in the MCC Business, which it purchased on December 31, 2020, is contractually prohibited from acquiring or making proposals to acquire securities of Magellan or offering or indicating an interest in any merger or other extraordinary transaction involving Magellan and is prohibited from requesting Magellan, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive such provision;

3. The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC” is amended and supplemented as follows:

A. The disclosure in the third paragraph under the heading “Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on page 53 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined):

Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for the Company by adding the ranges of present values it calculated for the unlevered free cash flow and illustrative terminal values, as described above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it had derived the Company’s net debt as of September 30, 2020 of $558 million (defined for this purpose as the Company’s debt as of September 30, 2020, as reflected in the Company’s publicly available filings, less the Company’s unrestricted cash and short term investments balance as of September 30, 2020, as reflected in the Company’s publicly available filings), to derive a range of illustrative equity values for the Company. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values by the implied total number of fully diluted shares of Magellan common stock as of December 28, 2020 (27.7 million shares), based on the derived range of illustrative equity values, and calculated using information provided by Company management and the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Magellan common stock of $85.55 to $100.89.

B. The disclosure in the first paragraph under the heading “Premia Paid Analysis” beginning on page 53 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows (with new text in bold and underlined):

Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed, using publicly available data obtained from Thomson and DataStream, the premia paid in 40 acquisitions of publicly traded healthcare companies (excluding biotech companies) in the United States (which we refer to as “Healthcare Acquisitions”) announced during the period from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2020 in which the target company had an implied enterprise value of $1 billion to $5 billion. For each calendar year through December 31, 2020, Goldman Sachs calculated the premia of the price paid in all Healthcare Acquisitions announced during such period as well as in any all-cash Healthcare Acquisitions announced during such period, in each case, relative to the target company’s closing share price at the 1-trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction. For the entire period from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2020, Goldman Sachs calculated the median, mean, 25th percentile and 75th percentile premia of the price paid in all Healthcare Acquisitions announced during such period as well as in any all-cash Health Acquisitions announced during such period, in each case, relative to the target company’s closing share price at the 1-trading day prior to the original announcement of the transaction. The following shows a summary of the results of the review:
