On November 8, 2007, Health Net, Inc. ("Health Net" or the "Company") announced the appointment of James E. Woys, age 49, as the Company's Chief Operating Officer, commencing on November 12, 2007. In his new role as Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Woys will be responsible for overseeing a broad range of operations, including claims processing, call centers, information technology, the Company’s internet activities, health care cost data analytics, pharmacy management and government and specialty services.

Mr. Woys has served as President of the Company’s Government and Specialty Services Division since October 2005, and served as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer from November 10, 2006 to November 1, 2007. He served as President of Health Net Federal Services from February 2001 to October 2005 and as Chief Operating Officer and President of Health Net Federal Services from November 1999 to February 2001. From February 1998 to November 1999, Mr. Woys served as Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Foundation Health Federal Services ("FHFS"), which was a subsidiary of Foundation Health Corporation ("FHC") until FHC's merger with the Company in April 1997, and served as Senior Vice President of FHFS from 1995 to February 1998. From January 1990 to January 1995, Mr. Woys served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Government Division of FHC. He served as Director of Corporate Finance/Tax for FHC from October 1986 to January 1990. Prior to Mr. Woys' employment with FHC, he was employed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP from 1982 to 1986 and by Arthur Andersen & Co. from 1980 to 1982.

Mr. Woys is party to an employment letter agreement with the Company dated January 30, 2006, which was subsequently amended on January 24, 2007 (as amended, the "Letter Agreement"). The Letter Agreement and the amendment thereto were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and Exhibit 10.7 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, respectively. A detailed summary of certain terms of the Letter Agreement is included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on April 2, 2007.

At this time, no changes have been made to the Letter Agreement in connection with Mr. Woys' appointment as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company intends to review Mr. Woys’ compensation arrangements in the near future.
