Thomas J. Liston to head Humana’s Medicare Operations

Stefen F. Brueckner praised as outstanding leader with exceptional record of success

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —June 12, 2008 — Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that long-time senior officer Thomas J. Liston will head the company’s Medicare operations as senior vice president of senior products. He will replace Stefen F. Brueckner, who at age 58 is retiring from the company, having led Humana’s Medicare operations since January 2005.

“As Humana’s long-time head of strategy and corporate development, Tom Liston brings deep and varied experience and a comprehensive understanding of Humana’s business to his new role,” said Michael B. McCallister, Humana’s president and chief executive officer. “In addition, he has benefitted from close association with Steve Brueckner over the length of Steve’s tenure as vice president of senior products. Steve has been an outstanding leader with an exceptional record of success for our company. He will be sorely missed.”

In his seven years with Humana, Brueckner has led both Commercial market operations and senior products. When he assumed full leadership for senior products in 2005, the company’s Medicare revenue was approximately $3 billion, operating in a limited number of states. With the help of thousands of Humana associates, Brueckner and his team grew that operation to a $15 billion business in all 50 states.

During his tenure, Liston has served in a variety of strategic, financial and operational leadership roles ranging from controller to acquisition integration leader. Prior to joining Humana in 1994, he was a partner with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers).
