As previously disclosed, officers of Humana Inc. (the “Company”) will be meeting with investors and analysts at an industry conference on January 10, 2012. During the meetings, the Company intends to address its prospects and performance.
 
 
The Company expects gross individual sales for Medicare Advantage for 2012 to be somewhat higher than expected, with net growth somewhat higher than the Company’s previous expectation for individual Medicare Advantage membership growth of 145,000 to 155,000.  Gross sales for stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans for 2012 are anticipated to be in the range of previous expectations, with net growth for 2012 in the Company’s stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans also in the range of the Company’s previous expectation of 500,000 to 600,000.
 
 
The Company is continuing to receive January 2012 disenrollment data for all Medicare plans from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), consistent with typical disenrollment reporting patterns from CMS.  Initial data indicates attrition in the Company’s Medicare Advantage and stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans is generally consistent with the Company’s previous expectations.
 
 
The Company will not opine on earnings per share (“EPS”) expectations for 2011 and 2012 at this conference since it is in the process of closing its books for 2011.
