Acquisition of Magellan Complete Care

On April 30, 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Magellan Complete Care (“MCC”) line of business of Magellan Health, Inc. The purchase price for the transaction is approximately $820 million, net of certain tax benefits, which we intend to fund with cash on hand.

MCC is a managed care organization serving members in six states, including Medicaid members in Arizona and statewide in Virginia. Through its Senior Whole Health branded plans, MCC provides fully integrated plans for Medicaid and Medicare dual beneficiaries in Massachusetts, as well as Managed Long Term Care (“MLTC,” commonly known nationally as “MLTSS”) in New York. As of December 31, 2019, MCC served approximately 155,000 members, with full year 2019 revenues greater than $2.7 billion.

The transaction is subject to federal and state regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021. In connection with this transaction, Magellan Health, Inc. has agreed to provide certain transition services following the closing.

In connection with the MCC acquisition, we entered into a commitment letter on April 30, 2020, pursuant to which, among other things, the lenders have committed to provide us with debt financing in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million.

Marketplace Risk Corridor Ruling

On April 27, 2020, the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Maine Community Health Options v. United States. The Supreme Court held that §1342 of the Affordable Care Act obligated the federal government to pay participating insurers the full Marketplace risk corridor amounts calculated by that statute, that such payment obligations survived Congress’ appropriations riders, and that impacted insurers may sue the federal government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to recover damages for breach of that obligation. There are no distinguishing factors regarding liability or damages between this case and the cases we ourselves have brought against the federal government for its failure to pay our Marketplace risk corridors claims for 2014, 2015, and 2016. We have already obtained summary judgment for our 2014 and 2015 risk corridor claims in the approximate amount of $52 million, and we have brought another claim for approximately $76 million for the government’s failure to pay our 2016 risk corridor claims. The timing of recognition and collection of these outstanding Marketplace risk corridor claims is uncertain, but we will request that the Court of Claims act as expeditiously as possible to enter judgment for all of the risk corridors amounts owed to us.
