(the "Director Plan"). Under the Director Plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual retainer fees (on a pre-tax basis) into Common Stock Units held in an account maintained for the director under the Director Plan. The number of Common Stock Units a director receives is based on the closing price of PacifiCare's common stock on the day the annual retainer fee would have been paid but for the deferral. When a director terminates his or her service as a director, a distribution from the director's Common Stock Unit account under the Director Plan is made in a single payment of shares of PacifiCare common stock.s/Dominic Ng2003-07-02
