Universal American Corp.
44 South Broadway
White Plains, New York 10601
(914) 934-0700

January 17, 2017

Dear Stockholder:

        A special meeting of stockholders of Universal American Corp., a Delaware corporation ("UAM" or the "Company"), will be held on February 16, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of the Company, located at 44 South Broadway, White Plains, New York 10601, for the following purposes:

        At the special meeting of the UAM stockholders, you will be asked (a) to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016 (as it may be amended, the "merger agreement"), by and among WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WellCare"), Wind Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare ("Merger Sub"), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "merger") and certain other transactions will be effected with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare (Proposal 1); (b) to consider and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on a proposal to approve certain agreements or understandings with, and items of compensation payable to, the Company's named executive officers that are based on or otherwise related to the merger (the "golden parachute" compensation) (Proposal 2); (c) to consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 3); and (d) to consider and vote on any other matters that properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        On November 16, 2016, after careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) declared that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into the merger agreement and consummate the merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (c) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and (d) recommended to the holders of UAM common stock that they adopt the merger agreement. THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE: "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT (PROPOSAL 1), "FOR" THE ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) APPROVAL OF THE "GOLDEN PARACHUTE" COMPENSATION (PROPOSAL 2), AND "FOR" THE ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING (IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE) TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT (PROPOSAL 3).

        If the merger is completed, each share of UAM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that you own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (referred to herein as the "effective time" or the "effective time of the merger"), other than as provided below, will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash (the "per share merger consideration"), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes (other than (a) shares of UAM common stock owned held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) shares of UAM common stock owned by WellCare or any of its affiliates (including Merger Sub), and (c) shares of UAM common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected (and not withdrawn or waived) their appraisal rights in


Table of Contents

compliance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). Immediately following the closing of the merger, WellCare will own all of the Company's issued and outstanding capital stock. As a result, the Company will no longer have its stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will no longer be required to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to UAM common stock. After the merger, you will no longer have an equity interest in the Company and will not participate in any potential future earnings of the Company.

        In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that some of the Company's directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company's stockholders generally.

        Only holders of record of UAM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at the close of business on January 13, 2017, the record date of the special meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

        The above matters are more fully described in the enclosed Proxy Statement, which also includes, as Appendix A, a copy of the merger agreement. We urge you to read carefully the Proxy Statement in its entirety, including the appendices.

        Your vote is very important. Regardless of the number of shares you own, please vote. The merger cannot be completed unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock vote to adopt the merger agreement. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy by following the instructions on the proxy card. Please see page 28 of the Proxy Statement for detailed information about your voting options.

        Thank you for your continued support.

    Sincerely,

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

        PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR UAM COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES TO THE COMPANY AT THIS TIME. IF THE MERGER IS COMPLETED, YOU WILL BE SENT INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE SURRENDER OF YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES.

        Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the merger, passed upon the merits or fairness of the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the proposed merger, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this document or the Proxy Statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

        We may amend or supplement the Proxy Statement from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required.

        The Proxy Statement is dated January 17, 2017 and is first being mailed to the holders of UAM common stock on or about January 17, 2017.

PROXY STATEMENT

At the special meeting you will be asked to, among other things, consider and vote on the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016 (referred to herein, as it may be amended, as the "merger agreement"), by and among WellCare Health Plans, Inc.

Table of Contents

surviving the merger (referred to herein the "surviving corporation") as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare. If the merger is completed, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (referred to herein as the "common stock" or the "UAM common stock") will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash (referred to herein as the "per share merger consideration"), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes (other than (a) shares of UAM common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) shares of UAM common stock owned by WellCare or any of its affiliates (including Merger Sub), and (c) shares of UAM common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected (and not withdrawn or waived) their appraisal rights in compliance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). For further information, see "The Special Meeting" beginning on page 26 and "The Merger (Proposal 1)" beginning on page 31.

Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)

        In connection with the merger, you are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain agreements and other items of compensation tied to or based on the merger that are payable to the Company's named executive officers under arrangements with the Company and WellCare (which is referred to in this Proxy Statement as the "golden parachute" compensation). For further information, see "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

The Special Meeting

        The special meeting of the holders of the Company's common stock will be held on February 16, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the offices of the Company, located at 44 South Broadway, White Plains, New York 10601, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (such meeting, referred to herein as the "special meeting").

        For further information, see "The Special Meeting" beginning on page 26.

Record Date and Quorum

        The holders of record of UAM common stock as of the close of business on January 13, 2017 (the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting) are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting. On the record date, 58,939,901 shares of UAM common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.

        The presence at the special meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of a majority of the UAM common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the Company to conduct its business at the special meeting.

        For further information, see "The Special Meeting—Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information" beginning on page 26.

Required Vote of the Company's Stockholders

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of UAM common stock outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 1). Abstentions and "broker non-votes" (which, when referred to herein, means when a broker holding shares of UAM common stock for a beneficial owner does not receive instructions from such beneficial owner with respect to a particular matter) will have the same effect as a vote against adoption of the merger agreement. See "The Merger (Proposal 1)" beginning on page 31.

2


Table of Contents

        The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat is required for the approval of the advisory (non-binding) proposal on the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2). The vote to approve the "golden parachute" compensation is advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or WellCare and is not a condition to completion of the merger. If the merger agreement is adopted by the holders of UAM common stock and the merger completed, the "golden parachute" compensation may be paid to the Company's named executive officers even if holders of UAM common stock fail to approve the golden parachute compensation. Abstentions are treated as a vote against the proposal to approve the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2) if your shares are otherwise present in person or otherwise represented in proxy at the special meeting. However, broker non-votes (or other failures to vote) will have no effect on the proposal to approve the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal; 2). See "The Special Meeting—Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information" beginning on page 26 and see also "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

        The approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger proposal (Proposal 3) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat. Abstentions are treated as a vote against the proposal to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting proposal (Proposal 3) if your shares are otherwise present in person or otherwise represented in proxy at the special meeting. However, broker non-votes (or other failures to vote) will have no effect on the proposal to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting proposal (Proposal 3). See "The Special Meeting—Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information" beginning on page 26 and see also "Adjournment or Postponement of the Special Meeting (Proposal 3)" beginning on page 99.

Voting Information

        You will have one vote for each share of UAM common stock that you owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" by a broker, bank, trust, custodian or other nominee (referred to herein as a "broker"), you will need to provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares. Before voting your shares of UAM common stock, you should read this Proxy Statement in its entirety, including its appendices, and carefully consider how the merger affects you. Then, submit your completed, dated and signed proxy by Internet, by telephone or by mail, as soon as possible so that your shares can be voted at the special meeting. For more information on how to vote your shares, please refer to "The Special Meeting—Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information" beginning on page 26.

Board Recommendation

        On November 16, 2016, after careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) declared that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into the merger agreement and consummate the merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (c) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and (d) recommended to the holders of UAM common stock that they adopt the merger agreement.

        Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 1).

Opinion of MTS

        On November 16, 2016, in connection with the proposed merger, MTS Securities, LLC (referred to herein as "MTS Securities"), an affiliate of the Company's financial advisor, MTS Health Partners, L.P. (referred to herein as "MTS"), delivered to the Board of Directors the oral opinion of MTS Securities, which was subsequently confirmed in a written opinion, dated November 17, 2016 (which opinion is referred to herein as the "MTS opinion"), that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken set forth therein, the merger consideration to be received by the holders of UAM common stock (other than shares held by WellCare, Merger Sub or any affiliate of WellCare or Merger Sub) pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

        The full text of the MTS opinion is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix C and is incorporated into this Proxy Statement by reference. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken by MTS Securities in rendering its opinion. You should read the MTS opinion carefully in its entirety. MTS Securities provided the MTS opinion for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the merger and does not address any other aspect of the merger. The MTS opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of UAM common stock should vote with respect to the merger or to take any other action in connection with the merger or otherwise. For a further discussion of the MTS opinion, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 45.

Table of Contents

    the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company, WellCare and Merger Sub (subject in certain cases to certain materiality, knowledge and other qualifications).

Regulatory Approvals

        The merger cannot be completed until the Company and WellCare each file a notification and report form under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting periods have expired or been terminated. Notification and Report Forms were filed with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission on November 30, 2016. Early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the merger was granted effective December 30, 2016.

        Pursuant to the insurance and healthcare laws and regulations of certain states and the U.S. federal government, and pursuant to certain licenses and contracts of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, applicable regulatory authorities must approve, or be notified of, WellCare's acquisition of control of the Company's insurance companies and other regulated entities. To obtain these approvals and provide such notices, WellCare, the Company, and certain of their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, will file or have filed acquisition of control and material modification or similar statements, notices or applications, as required by the insurance and healthcare laws and regulations of each applicable jurisdiction or the UAM regulated entities' licenses and contracts. WellCare filed acquisition of control and material modification or similar statements, notices or applications with the NYDFS and the TDI on December 20, 2016 and December 21, 2016.

        The parties have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain any approvals from governmental authorities for the merger, including all antitrust and regulatory approvals, to make any necessary submissions, to take all other actions necessary or advisable to obtain the required consents and to defend against any legal actions challenging the merger. WellCare has also agreed to promptly take any and all action necessary to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any order that would have the effect of preventing or delaying the closing of the merger and to resolve the objections, any governmental authority asserts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any law reasonably expected to be asserted by any governmental authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement so as to enable the closing of the merger to occur as soon as reasonably possible, unless such actions would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of WellCare. For further information, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Regulatory Approvals" beginning on page 54.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

        The merger agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. The Company has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to various covenants and agreements, including, among others: (a) to use reasonable best efforts to conduct its operations only in the ordinary course of business; and (b) to promptly call a meeting of the holders of UAM common stock to vote on the merger agreement and the merger. For further information, see "The Merger—Representations and Warranties" beginning on page 73 and "The Merger—Covenants of the Company" beginning on page 77.

No Solicitation of Other Offers

        Following the execution of the merger agreement, the Company became subject to customary "no-shop" provisions with respect to its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to or enter into, engage in or maintain discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to receipt of the stockholder approval, the no-shop provision is subject to a "fiduciary out" provision that allows: (a) the

5


Table of Contents

Company to provide third parties with access and information in response to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to participate in discussions, communications and negotiations regarding such acquisition proposal, in each case; provided, that (x) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such acquisition proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal and (y) the Company complies with the terms of the merger agreement (including (i) entering into acceptable confidentiality agreements prior to making third-party disclosures, (ii) providing non-public information that has not been previously provided to WellCare and is shared with third parties to WellCare substantially concurrently with the time it is shared with such person, (iii) providing WellCare with notice and certain information with respect to such acquisition proposals and (iv) allowing WellCare matching rights); (b) the Company to terminate the merger agreement to enter into an acquisition agreement with a third-party with respect to a superior proposal; and (c) the Board of Directors to change its recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger agreement due to an intervening event. See "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Solicitation of Takeover Proposals" beginning on page 79, and "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Fiduciary Out; Superior Proposals; Intervening Events" beginning on page 80.

Termination; Termination Fee and Damages

        The merger agreement contains certain specified termination provisions, including, among others, a mutual termination right if the merger has not been consummated on or before June 19, 2017, which date may be extended until November 17, 2017, if as of June 19, 2017 all conditions to the closing of the merger have been satisfied or waived other than the conditions pertaining to antitrust and regulatory approval and the absence of any legal restraint that enjoins or prohibits consummation of the merger relating to antitrust or regulatory approvals or arises from legal actions initiated by a governmental authority. The Company must pay to WellCare an $18,000,000 termination fee (plus up to $2,000,000 for out-of-pocket expense reimbursement) if the merger agreement is terminated following a withdrawal, modification or amendment of the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in any manner adverse to WellCare, or if the Company terminates the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with a third-party with respect to a "superior proposal", as set forth in, and subject to the conditions of, the merger agreement. The Company also must pay to WellCare an $18,000,000 termination fee (plus up to $2,000,000 for out-of-pocket expense reimbursement) if the merger agreement is terminated for certain specified circumstances (and an acquisition proposal has been made by a third-party after the date of the merger agreement and not withdrawn prior to the special meeting) and the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise consummates, a competing proposal within 12 months after the termination of the merger agreement.

        The merger agreement also provides that if the merger agreement is terminated on account of the willful and material (a) failure of any party to perform its covenants, obligations or agreements or (b) breach by any party of its representations or warranties contained in the merger agreement, then such party will be liable for any damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such failure or breach (which, in the case of damages sought by the Company, will take into account the consideration that would have otherwise been payable to the holders of UAM common stock or UAM preferred stock, as applicable, pursuant to the merger agreement and the loss of market value or stock price of the Company).

Specific Performance

        Under certain circumstances, a party to the merger agreement may seek specific performance to require the other party to complete the merger. Each party will be entitled to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the merger agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the merger agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). See "The Merger Agreement—Specific Performance" beginning on page 95.

Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

        In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that some of the Company's executive officers and directors have interests in the merger that may be different from your interests as a stockholder and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest. The Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and making its recommendation that the Company stockholders adopt the merger agreement. These interests are discussed in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" beginning on page 56 and "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

        The merger will be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each U.S. holder (as defined in this Proxy Statement) will recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the consideration received (prior to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes) in the merger and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of UAM common stock surrendered. A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain, if any, recognized in the merger. See "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 64 for a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to certain U.S. holders and certain non-U.S. holders. The tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on the facts of your own situation. You are urged to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger.

Treatment of Preferred Stock

        Unless, prior to the effective time of the merger, the Company has redeemed each share of UAM Series A preferred stock (referred to herein as "UAM preferred stock"), as required by the certificate of designation, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to redeem, in whole and not in part, each share of UAM preferred stock that is issued and outstanding as of the effective time in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation. If the merger is not consummated by April 29, 2017, then, in accordance with the certificate of designation, each share of UAM preferred stock must be redeemed on such date by the Company for cash in an amount equal to $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. For further information, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Treatment of Preferred Stock" beginning on page 59.

Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, (x) each option (including performance options) to acquire shares of UAM common stock (referred to herein as a "Company Option") that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the per share

Table of Contents

exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of UAM common stock in respect of such Company Option immediately before the effective time of the merger and (y) each share of the Company's restricted common stock (including performance shares) (referred to herein as a "Restricted Share") that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the per share merger consideration in cash. The right to receive the foregoing cash amounts with respect to Company Options and Restricted Shares will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, in each case, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Company Option or Restricted Share, as applicable, would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date; provided, that, equity awards granted in 2017 to employees (which shall be in the form of Restricted Shares) will convert into an equivalent cash award based on the value of the per share merger consideration and shall vest and be payable in accordance with the scheduled vesting terms of such awards, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, with respect to all Company Options and Restricted Shares (including those awards granted in 2017), if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Company Options or Restricted Shares is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Company Options or Restricted Shares, as applicable, will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Company Options and Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time. For further information, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Treatment of Equity-Based Awards" beginning on page 58.

Appraisal Rights

        Holders of UAM common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time who oppose the merger may exercise their right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of UAM common stock as determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware if the merger is completed, but only if they (a) have not voted in favor of the merger or consented to it in writing, (b) have continuously held such UAM common stock through the effective time of the merger, and (c) are entitled to demand and have demanded the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with, the procedures of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which is the appraisal rights statute applicable to Delaware corporations. A copy of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement and the procedures are summarized in this Proxy Statement. Holders of UAM common stock considering seeking appraisal should be aware that this appraisal amount could be more than, the same as or less than the per share merger consideration, that such holder would receive pursuant to the merger agreement if they did not seek appraisal of their shares of UAM common stock. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware will result in the loss of your appraisal rights. For further information, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 59 and Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a stockholder of UAM. You should still carefully read this entire Proxy Statement, including the attached appendices.

Q:
Why am I receiving these materials and who is soliciting my proxy?

A:
You are receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card because you own shares of UAM common stock. The Board of Directors is providing these proxy materials to give you information to determine how to vote in connection with the special meeting. The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors.

Q:
When and where is the special meeting?

A:
The special meeting will be held on February 16, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the offices of the Company, located at 44 South Broadway, White Plains, New York 10601.

Q:
Upon what am I being asked to vote on at the special meeting?

A:
You are being asked:

1.
to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the merger agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare;

2.
to consider and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on a proposal to approve certain agreements or understandings with, and items of compensation payable to, the Company's named executive officers that are based on or otherwise related to the merger (the "golden parachute" compensation); and

to consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting (if necessary or appropriate) to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement.

Q:
Why is the merger being proposed?

A:
The Company's purpose in proposing the merger is to enable holders of UAM common stock to receive, upon completion of the merger, $10.00 per share in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) declared that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into the merger agreement and consummate the merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (c) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and (d) recommended to the holders of UAM common stock that they adopt the merger agreement. For a more detailed discussion of the conclusions, determinations and reasons of the Board of Directors for recommending that the Company undertake the merger on the terms of the merger agreement, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 40.

Table of Contents

Q:
What will happen in the merger?

A:
Pursuant to the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare. As a result of the merger, UAM common stock will no longer be publicly traded, and you will no longer have any interest in the Company's future earnings or growth. In addition, UAM common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (referred to herein as the "NYSE") and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to herein as the "Exchange Act"), and the Company will no longer be required file periodic reports with the SEC with respect to UAM common stock, in each case in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations.

Q:
What will I receive in the merger?

A:
If the merger is completed, as a holder of UAM common stock, you will be entitled to receive $10.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of UAM common stock that you own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. For example, if you own 100 shares of UAM common stock, you will receive $1,000.00 in cash in exchange for your shares of UAM common stock, without giving effect to any applicable withholding taxes (other than (a) shares of UAM common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) shares of UAM common stock owned by WellCare or any of its affiliates (including Merger Sub), and (c) shares of UAM common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected (and not withdrawn or waived) their appraisal rights in compliance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). You will not own any shares of the capital stock in the surviving corporation.

Q:
What happens to my stock options if the merger is completed?

A:
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of UAM common stock in respect of such Company Option immediately before the effective time of the merger. The right to receive the foregoing cash amounts with respect to Company Options will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Company Options that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Company Options that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Company Option would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Company Options is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Company Options will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Company Options owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

Table of Contents

Q:
What happens to my restricted shares if the merger is completed?

A:
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, each Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in cash. The right to receive the foregoing cash amounts with respect to Restricted Shares will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Restricted Shares that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Restricted Share would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, equity awards granted in 2017 to employees (which will be in the form of Restricted Shares) will convert into an equivalent cash award based on the value of the per share merger consideration and shall vest and be payable in accordance with the scheduled vesting terms of such awards, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Restricted Shares is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Restricted Shares, as applicable, will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

Q:
How does the per share merger consideration compare to the market price of UAM common stock prior to announcement of the merger?

A:
The $10.00 per share merger consideration represents a premium of approximately (a) 12.5% relative to the Company's closing stock price on November 16, 2016, the last trading day before the announcement of the transaction, (b) 27.0% compared to the 30-day volume-weighted average price (referred to herein as "VWAP") for the period ended on November 16, 2016, (c) 34.4% compared to the 60-day VWAP for the period ended on November 16, 2016, and (d) 30.2% compared to the closing stock price on October 20, 2016, the last full trading day prior to WellCare's indication of interest.

Q:
What happens to my preferred stock if the merger is completed?

A:
Unless the Company has redeemed each share of UAM preferred stock, prior to the effective time, as required by the certificate of designation, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to redeem on the business day immediately following the merger, in whole and not in part, each share of UAM preferred stock that is issued and outstanding as of the effective time in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation.

Table of Contents

Q:
What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors?

A:
Based on the factors described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 40, and "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

"FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement (Proposal 1);

"FOR" approval of the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2); and

"FOR" the approval of the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting (if necessary or appropriate) to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 3).

Q:
Who can attend and vote at the special meeting?

A:
All holders of UAM common stock at the close of business on January 13, 2017, the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to vote (in person or by proxy) on the merger agreement at the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

Q:
What vote is required to adopt the merger agreement?

A:
The merger agreement will be adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of UAM common stock outstanding on the record date. Because the required vote is based on the number of shares of UAM common stock outstanding rather than on the number of votes cast, failure to vote your shares (including as a result of broker non-votes) and abstentions will have the same effect as voting against the adoption of the merger agreement (Proposal 1).

    Because the advisory vote to approve the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2) and approval of the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3) require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the "golden parachute" compensation and adjournment or postponement proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the "golden parachute" compensation and adjournment or postponement proposal. See "Adjournment or Postponement of the Special Meeting (Proposal 3)" beginning on page 99.

    The Company urges you to either complete, execute and return the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy or voting instructions by Internet, by telephone or by mail to assure the representation of your shares of UAM common stock at the special meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner of UAM common stock does not receive instructions from such beneficial owner with respect to the merger proposal (Proposal 1), the proposal to approve "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2), or the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3), counted separately.

Q:
How are votes counted?

A:
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting, who will separately count "FOR" and "AGAINST" votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, and separately count votes in respect of each proposal.

Q:
What is a quorum?

A:
A quorum will be present if holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of UAM common stock entitled to vote on a matter at the special meeting are present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting. If a quorum is not present at the special meeting, the special meeting may

Table of Contents

    be adjourned or postponed from time to time until a quorum is obtained. If you submit a proxy, your shares will be counted to determine whether the Company has a quorum even if you abstain or fail to provide voting instructions on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, and you do not tell the broker how to vote your shares on at least one of the proposals presented in this Proxy Statement, such shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.

Q:
How many votes do I have?

A:
You have one vote for each share of UAM common stock that you own as of the record date.

Q:
May I vote in person?

A:
Yes. You may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person whether or not you sign and return your proxy card. If your shares are held of record by a broker and you wish to vote at the special meeting, you must obtain a proxy from such holder of record.

Q:
How do I vote my UAM common stock? What do I need to do now?

A:
Before you vote, you should read this Proxy Statement carefully and in its entirety, including the appendices, and carefully consider how the merger affects you. You may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person whether or not you sign and return your proxy card. If you do not wish to attend the special meeting, you can ensure that your shares are voted at the special meeting by granting a proxy either by:

Mail, by completing, signing, dating and mailing the proxy card or vote instruction card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided;

Telephone, by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 15, 2017. You will then be prompted to enter the control number printed on your proxy card and to follow the subsequent instructions. Submitting a proxy by telephone is available 24 hours a day. If you submit a proxy by telephone, it is not necessary to return the proxy card by mail; or

The Internet, by submitting a proxy via the Internet until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 15, 2017. The website for submitting a proxy via the Internet is www.proxyvote.com, and is available 24 hours per day. Instructions on how to submit a proxy via the Internet are located on the proxy card enclosed with this Proxy Statement. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to obtain your records and create an electronic voting form. If you submit a proxy via the Internet, it is not necessary to return the proxy card by mail.

    For more information on how to vote your shares, see "The Special Meeting—Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information" beginning on page 26 and "The Special Meeting—How You Can Vote" beginning on page 28.

Q:
What is a proxy?

A:
A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote your share of UAM common stock. This written document describing the matters to be considered and voted on at the special meeting is a called a proxy statement. The document used to designate a proxy to vote your shares of UAM common stock is called a proxy card.

14


Table of Contents

Q:
If a stockholder gives a proxy, how are the UAM common stock voted?

A:
Regardless of the method you choose to submit a proxy, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your UAM common stock in the way that you indicate. When completing the Internet or Telephone processes or the proxy card, you may specify whether your UAM common stock should be voted "FOR" or "AGAINST" or to "ABSTAIN" from voting on, all, some or none of the specific items of business to come before the special meeting.

    If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes indicating how your shares of UAM common stock should be voted on a matter, the UAM common stock represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted "FOR" the merger proposal (Proposal 1), "FOR" the proposal to approve "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2), and "FOR" the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3).

Q:
What happens if I do not vote?

A:
The vote to adopt the merger agreement is based on the total number of shares of UAM common stock outstanding on the record date, and not just the shares that are voted. If you do not vote, it will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the merger proposal. If the merger is completed, whether or not you vote for the merger proposal, you will be paid the merger consideration for your shares of UAM common stock upon completion of the merger, unless you properly exercise (and do not withdraw or waive) your appraisal rights. See "The Special Meeting" and "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Appraisal Rights" beginning on pages 26 and 59, respectively, and Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

    The vote to approve the "golden parachute" compensation is advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or WellCare and is not a condition to completion of the merger. If the merger agreement is approved and adopted by the holders of UAM common stock and completed, the "golden parachute" compensation may be paid to the Company's named executive officers even if stockholders fail to approve the golden parachute compensation.

Q:
What happens if I do not return a proxy card by mail, vote via the Internet or telephone or attend the special meeting and vote in person?

A:
Your failure to return your proxy card by mail, vote via the Internet or telephone or attend the special meeting and vote in person, will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement.

Q:
May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:
Yes. Any person giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation has the power to revoke and change it any time before it is voted. It may be revoked and/or changed at any time before it is voted at the special meeting by:

giving written notice of revocation to the Company's corporate secretary that you would like to revoke your proxy;

submitting another proper proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by a later-dated written proxy; or

attending the special meeting and voting by paper ballot in person. Your attendance at the special meeting alone will not revoke your proxy.

    If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares of UAM common stock, you must follow directions received from your broker to change those instructions.

Q:
What if I am a beneficial owner rather than a holder of record?

A:
If you hold your shares with a broker, you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name". Your broker, who is considered to be the holder of record with respect to your shares, is forwarding these proxy materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote by filling out the voting instruction form provided by your broker. Telephone and Internet voting options may also be available to beneficial owners. As a beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the special meeting, but you must obtain a legal proxy from the holder of record of your shares in order to vote in person at the special meeting.

Q:
If my shares are held in "street name" by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me? What if I fail to instruct my broker?

A:
Your broker will not vote your shares on your behalf unless you provide instructions to your broker on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to instruct it to vote your shares. Without those instructions, your shares will not be voted, which will have the same effect as voting "AGAINST" the adoption of the merger agreement (Proposal 1), but will have no effect for purposes of the approval of the advisory (non-binding) vote on the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2) and the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, or to solicit additional proxies (Proposal 3). The instructions set forth below apply to stockholders of record (also referred to herein as "registered holders") only and not those whose shares are held in the name of a nominee.

Q:
Will my shares held in "street name" or another form of record ownership be combined for voting purposes with shares I hold of record?

A:
No. Because any shares you may hold in "street name" will be deemed to be held by a different stockholder than any shares you hold of record, any shares so held will not be combined for voting purposes with shares you hold of record. Similarly, if you own shares in various registered forms, such as jointly with your spouse, as trustee of a trust or as custodian for a minor, you will receive, and will need to sign and return, a separate proxy card for those shares because they are held in a different form of record ownership. Shares held by a corporation or business entity must be voted by an authorized officer of the entity. Shares held in an individual retirement account must be voted under the rules governing the account.

Q:
What happens if I sell my shares of UAM common stock before the special meeting?

A:
If you transfer your shares of UAM common stock after the record date but before the special meeting you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the special meeting, but will transfer the right to receive the merger consideration to the person to whom you transfer your shares.

Q:
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

A:
This means you own shares of UAM common stock that are registered under different names or are in more than one account. For example, you may own some shares directly as a stockholder of record and other shares through a broker or you may own shares through more than one broker. In these situations, you will receive multiple sets of proxy materials. You must vote, sign and return all of the proxy cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the proxy cards that you receive in order to vote all of the shares you own. Each proxy card you receive comes with its own prepaid return envelope. If you submit your proxy by mail, make sure you return each proxy card in the return envelope that accompanies that proxy card.

Table of Contents

Q:
Have any stockholders already agreed to adopt the merger?

A:
No.

Q:
Who will own the Company after the merger?

A:
Immediately following the closing of the merger, the Company will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare, a publicly traded company.

Q:
What are the consequences of the merger to present members of management and the Board of Directors?

A:
Shares of UAM common stock owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as shares held by other holders of UAM common stock. Company Options and Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time. For other payments and benefits to the Company's named executive officers that are tied to or based on the merger, see "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

Q:
Is the merger subject to the satisfaction of any conditions?

A:
Yes. The completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Merger" beginning on page 90. These conditions include, among others:

the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock entitled to vote;

the expiration or termination of the regulatory waiting period under HSR Act, which waiting period was terminated effective December 30, 2016;

the receipt of all consents or the making of all required notices with respect to the TDI and NYDFS (such consents, referred to herein as the "required Company consents");

the absence of any order or law of any governmental entity that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the merger;

the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company since the date of the merger agreement;

the Company's, WellCare's and Merger Sub's performance in all material respects of their obligations under the merger agreement; and

the accuracy of the Company's, WellCare's and Merger Sub's representations and warranties (subject in certain cases to certain materiality, knowledge and other qualifications).

Q:
If the merger is completed, how will I receive cash for my shares?

A:
If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is consummated, and if you are the holder of record of your shares of UAM common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (i.e., you have a stock certificate), you will be sent a letter of transmittal to complete and return to a paying agent to be designated by WellCare (referred to herein as the "paying agent"). In order to receive the $10.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, you must send the paying agent your validly completed letter of transmittal together with your UAM common stock certificates and other required documents as instructed in

17


Table of Contents

    the separate mailing. Once you have properly submitted a completed letter of transmittal, you will receive cash for your shares. If your shares of UAM common stock are held in "street name" by your broker, you will receive instructions after the effective time of the merger from your broker as to how to effect the surrender of your "street name" shares and receive cash for those shares.

Q:
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger?

A:
The merger will be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each U.S. holder (as defined below in this Proxy Statement) will recognize a taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the consideration received in the merger (prior to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes) and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of UAM common stock surrendered. A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain, if any, recognized in the merger. See "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 64 for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to certain U.S. holders and certain non-U.S. holders. The tax consequences of the merger will depend on the facts of your own situation. You are urged to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger.

Q:
When do you expect the merger to be completed?

A:
In order to complete the merger, the closing conditions under the merger agreement must be satisfied or waived. The parties to the merger agreement currently expect to complete the merger in the second quarter of 2017, although the Company cannot assure completion by any particular date, if at all. Because the merger is subject to a number of conditions, the exact timing of the merger cannot be determined at this time.

Q:
What happens if the merger is not completed?

A:
If the merger agreement is not adopted by the holders of UAM common stock or if the merger is not completed for any other reason, the stockholders of the Company will not receive any payment for their shares of UAM common stock in connection with the merger agreement. Instead, UAM will remain an independent public company, UAM common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE and registered under the Exchange Act, and the Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC with respect to UAM common stock. Under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay to WellCare a fee with respect to the termination of the merger agreement, or may be entitled to seek damages from WellCare, as described under "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies" beginning on page 93.

Q:
Why am I being asked to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve "golden parachute" compensation payable to certain of the Company's named executive officers in connection with the merger?

A:
The SEC rules require the Company to seek an advisory (non-binding) vote with respect to certain payments that will be made to the Company's named executive officers in connection with the merger.

Q:
What is the "golden parachute" compensation?

A:
The "golden parachute" compensation is certain compensation that is tied to or based on the merger and payable to certain of the Company's named executive officers. See "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

18


Table of Contents

Q:
What vote is required to approve the advisory (non-binding) proposal on "golden parachute" compensation payable to certain of the Company's named executive officers in connection with the merger?

A:
The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat is required for approval of the advisory (non-binding) proposal on "golden parachute" compensation.

Q:
What will happen if stockholders do not approve the "golden parachute" compensation at the special meeting?

A:
Approval of the "golden parachute" compensation is not a condition to completion of the merger. The vote with respect to the "golden parachute" compensation is an advisory vote and will not be binding on the Company or WellCare. If the merger agreement is adopted by the holders of UAM common stock and completed, the "golden parachute" compensation will, subject to the terms of the applicable arrangements, be paid to the Company's named executive officers even if holders of UAM common stock fail to approve the golden parachute compensation.

Q:
When should I send in my stock certificates?

A:
You should send your stock certificates together with the letter of transmittal after the merger is consummated and not now. You will receive the letter of transmittal following the consummation of the merger.

Q:
I do not know where my stock certificate is—how will I get my cash?

A:
The materials you are sent after the completion of the merger will include the procedures that you must follow if you cannot locate your stock certificate. This will include an affidavit that you will need to sign attesting to the loss of your stock certificate. The Company may also require that you provide a customary indemnity agreement to the Company in order to cover any potential loss.

Q:
What rights do I have to seek a valuation of my shares?

A:
Under Delaware law, stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger may exercise appraisal rights, but only if they have not voted in favor of the merger or consented to it in writing and are entitled to demand and have demanded the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with the procedures of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which is the appraisal statute applicable to Delaware corporations. See "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 59. A copy of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Further, the holders of UAM common stock will also be asked to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement.

        The Company does not expect a vote to be taken on any other matters at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If any other matters are properly presented at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration, however, the holders of the proxies will have discretion to vote on these matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Board Recommendation

        On November 16, 2016, after careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) declared that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into the merger agreement and consummate the merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (c) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and (d) recommended to the holders of UAM common stock that they adopt the merger agreement. For a discussion of the material factors considered by the Board of Directors in reaching its conclusions, see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 40.

        Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 1). The Board also unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the nonbinding proposal on golden parachute compensation (Proposal 2) compensation proposal and "FOR" the approval of the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 3).

Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum; Voting Information

        We have fixed January 13, 2017 as the record date for the special meeting. Only holders of record of UAM common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, 58,939,901 shares of UAM common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. A list of the holders of UAM common stock as of the record date will be available for review at the Company's executive offices during regular business hours after the date of this Proxy Statement and through the date of the special meeting. Each holder of record of UAM common stock on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares

Table of Contents

of UAM common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting.

        All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any.

        If a stockholder's shares of UAM common stock are held of record by a broker and such stockholder wishes to vote at the special meeting, such stockholder must obtain from the holder of record a proxy issued in such stockholder's name. Brokers who hold shares in "street name" for clients typically have the authority to vote on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, however, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of non-routine matters, such as the merger agreement. Proxies submitted without a vote by brokers on these matters are referred to as broker non-votes. If your shares are held in the name of a broker and you do not tell the broker how to vote your shares on at least one of the proposals presented in this Proxy Statement, such shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the special meeting.

        Proxies received at any time before the special meeting and not revoked or superseded before being voted will be voted at the special meeting. If the proxy indicates a specification, it will be voted in accordance with the specification. If no specification is indicated, the proxy will be voted "FOR" adoption of the merger agreement, "FOR" the approval of the "golden parachute" compensation, "FOR" the approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement, and in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy with respect to any other business that may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

        Holders of record of UAM common stock may also vote in person by ballot at the special meeting.

        The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock is required to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 1). Because adoption of the merger agreement requires the approval of stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock, failure to vote your shares of UAM common stock (including failure to provide voting instructions if you hold through a broker) will have exactly the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement.

        The advisory vote to approve the "golden parachute" compensation proposal (Proposal 2) and the vote to approve the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3) each require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat. As an abstention represents a share that is "entitled to vote" and is thus counted in the denominator for the purposes of determining the percentage approved, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the "golden parachute" compensation proposal (Proposal 2) and the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3). A proxy submitted without a vote by a broker (a broker non-vote) is not counted as a share "entitled to vote" because, as discussed above, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of non-routine matters. Thus broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the advisory votes to approve either the "golden parachute" compensation proposal (Proposal 2) or the adjournment or postponement proposal (Proposal 3).

        The vote to approve the "golden parachute" compensation (Proposal 2) is advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or WellCare and is not a condition to consummation of the merger. If the merger agreement is adopted by the holders of UAM common stock the merger is and completed,

27


Table of Contents

the "golden parachute" compensation will, subject to the terms of the applicable arrangements, be paid to the Company's named executive officers even if the holders of UAM common stock fail to approve the golden parachute compensation.

        With respect to the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement (Proposal 3), the persons named as proxies may propose and vote for one or more adjournments or postponements of the special meeting, including adjournments or postponements to permit further solicitations of proxies.

        Please do not send in stock certificates at this time. If the merger is completed, you will be sent a letter of transmittal regarding the procedures for exchanging the existing Company's stock certificates for the payment of $10.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

How You Can Vote

        Each share of UAM common stock outstanding on January 13, 2017, the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of UAM common stock outstanding and entitled to vote is required to adopt the merger agreement. Because adoption of the merger agreement requires the approval of stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock, failure to vote your shares of UAM common stock (including failure to provide voting instructions if you hold through a broker, bank or other nominee) will have exactly the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement.

        You may vote your shares in any of the following ways:

    Submitting a Proxy by Mail.  If you choose to have your shares voted at the special meeting by submitting a proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

    Submitting a Proxy by Telephone.  You can have your shares voted at the special meeting by submitting a proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 15, 2017. You will then be prompted to enter the control number printed on your proxy card and to follow the subsequent instructions. Submitting a proxy by telephone is available 24 hours a day. If you submit a proxy by telephone, it is not necessary to return the proxy card by mail.

    Submitting a Proxy by Internet.  You can also have your shares voted at the special meeting by submitting a proxy via the Internet until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 15, 2017. The website for submitting a proxy via the Internet is www.proxyvote.com, and is available 24 hours per day. Instructions on how to submit a proxy via the Internet are located on the proxy card enclosed with this Proxy Statement. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the web site and follow the instructions to obtain your records and create an electronic voting form. If you submit a proxy via the Internet, it is not necessary to return the proxy card by mail.

    Voting in Person.  You can also vote by appearing and voting in person at the special meeting.

        If you choose to have your shares of UAM common stock voted at the special meeting by submitting a proxy, your shares will be voted at the special meeting as you indicate on your proxy card. If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes indicating how your shares of UAM common stock should be voted on a matter, the UAM common stock shares represented by your signed proxy card will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement, "FOR" the approval of the "golden parachute" compensation and "FOR" the approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time

of the special meeting to approve the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. You should return your proxy card even if you plan to attend the special meeting in person.

Proxies; Revocation

        The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Company will not pay additional compensation to its directors, officers and employees for their solicitation efforts, but the Company will reimburse them for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur in their solicitation efforts. The Company will request that brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock registered in their names. The Company will bear all costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the notice of special meeting, this Proxy Statement, the enclosed proxy and any additional materials, as well as the cost of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock and all other costs of solicitation.

        Any person giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation has the power to revoke and change it at any time before it is voted. You may revoke and/or change your proxy at any time before it is voted at the special meeting by:

    giving written notice of revocation to the Company's corporate secretary that you would like to revoke your proxy;

    submitting another proper proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by a later-dated written proxy; or

    attending the special meeting and voting by paper ballot in person at the special meeting. Your attendance at the special meeting alone will not revoke your proxy.

        If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares of UAM common stock, you must follow directions received from your broker to change those instructions.

Expenses of Proxy Solicitation

        The Company will pay the costs of soliciting proxies for the special meeting. Officers, directors and employees of the Company may solicit proxies; however, they will not be paid additional or special compensation for soliciting proxies. The Company will also request that individuals and entities holding shares in their names, or in the names of their nominees, that are beneficially owned by others, send proxy materials to and obtain proxies from, those beneficial owners, and the Company will reimburse those holders for their reasonable expenses in performing those services. D.F King has been retained by the Company to assist it in the solicitation of proxies, using the means referred to above, and will receive a fee of approximately $15,000. The Company will reimburse D.F. King for reasonable expenses and costs incurred by D.F. King in connection with its services.

Adjournments or Postponements

        Although the Company does not expect to do so, if the Company has not received sufficient proxies to constitute a quorum or sufficient votes for the adoption of the merger agreement, the special meeting may be adjourned or postponed for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. The proposal to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies (Proposal 3) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat. Any signed proxies received by the Company that approve the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting will be voted in favor of an adjournment or postponement in these circumstances. Any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting for the purpose of

29


Table of Contents

soliciting additional proxies will allow holders of UAM common stock who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use.

Rights of Stockholders Who Object to the Merger

        Stockholders are entitled to statutory appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in connection with the merger. This means that if the merger is completed, holders of UAM common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time who (a) have not voted in favor of the merger, (b) have continuously held such UAM common stock through the effective date, and (c) are entitled to demand and have demanded the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with the procedures of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, may be entitled to have the "fair value" of their shares determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and to receive payment based on that valuation instead of receiving the $10.00 per share merger consideration. The ultimate amount received in an appraisal proceeding may be more than, the same as or less than the amount that would have been received under the merger agreement.

        To exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting holder of UAM common stock must submit a written demand for appraisal to the Company before the vote is taken on the merger agreement and must NOT vote, in person or by proxy, in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. Failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware will result in the loss of appraisal rights. In addition, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will dismiss appraisal proceedings as to all holders of shares of UAM common stock who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (a) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock, (b) the value of aggregate per share merger consideration for such total number of shares of UAM common stock exceeds $1,000,000, or (c) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. See "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 59 and the text of the Delaware appraisal rights statute reproduced in its entirety as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Other Matters

        The Board of Directors is not aware of any business to be brought before the special meeting other than that described in this Proxy Statement. If, however, other matters are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to those matters.

THE MERGER (PROPOSAL 1)

Overview

        The following subsections of this Proxy Statement describe material aspects of the proposed merger. Although the Company believes that the description covers the material terms of the merger, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement and incorporated into this Proxy Statement by reference. You should carefully read this entire Proxy Statement and the other documents the Company refers you to for a more complete understanding of the merger. You may obtain additional information without charge by following the instructions in "Where Stockholders Can Find More Information" beginning on page 105.

        The parties to the merger agreement currently expect to complete the merger in the second quarter of 2017. Because the merger is subject to a number of conditions, the exact timing of the merger cannot be determined, if it is completed at all.

        The Company is seeking the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of UAM common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, subject to the satisfaction or (if permissible under applicable law) waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (b) declared that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into the merger agreement and consummate the merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (c) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and (d) recommended to the holders of UAM common stock that they adopt the merger agreement.

Background of the Merger

        The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the merger agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among the Board of Directors, the representatives of UAM and other parties.

        As part of the ongoing evaluation of UAM's business, UAM's senior management and the Board of Directors periodically review UAM's performance, future growth prospects, the regulatory environment and overall strategic direction and consider potential opportunities to strengthen its businesses and enhance stockholder value. These reviews have included consideration of a variety of strategic alternatives, including investments, acquisitions, dispositions, financial and strategic transactions and other business combination transactions with third parties, that would further UAM's strategic objectives and could enhance its ability to serve customers and create stockholder value, and the potential benefits and risks of those investments and transactions in light of, among other things, the healthcare industry environment and UAM's competitive position.

        On April 29, 2011, a predecessor entity to UAM consummated the sale of its Medicare Part D Business to CVS Caremark Corporation (which is referred to herein as the "CVS transaction"). Since 2010, holders of UAM common stock have received dividends and other cash payments totaling $19.35 per share, including amounts paid in the CVS transaction.

        Since the closing of the CVS transaction, through 2016, as part of its ongoing strategic review activities, UAM, with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, engaged in frequent discussions with numerous third parties (strategic and financial) regarding a variety of potential business combination transactions, including conducting several formal strategic alternative processes to solicit

31


Table of Contents

interest for the potential sale of all or material portions of UAM. None of these discussions and processes resulted in an offer for UAM or any of its constituent businesses that was acceptable to UAM's management and the Board of Directors until WellCare's offer in November 2016 with respect to the merger.

    The Early 2015 Process

        Following on several discussions of strategic alternatives that the Board of Directors had engaged in at its meetings since late-2014, on February 13, 2015, the Board of Directors held a meeting, which was attended by UAM's management, and discussed strategic alternatives available to the Company, including the universe of potential third parties that might be interested in acquiring UAM and/or portions of UAM and the likelihood of such a transaction. Around that time, the Company had been in informal discussions with two parties (which are referred to herein as "Party A" and "Party B"), each of whom entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company, regarding a potential acquisition of the Company. Representatives of UAM's legal counsel, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP (referred to herein as "Paul Weiss"), attended the meeting and reviewed various legal considerations associated with the strategic alternatives and the directors' fiduciary duties. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Board of Directors authorized UAM's management to contact a leading global investment bank (which is referred to herein as the "Prior Financial Advisor") to assist the Company in its review of strategic alternatives and contact various third parties to explore interest in a potential transaction. Thereafter, at the direction of the Board of Directors, UAM's management held various discussions with the Prior Financial Advisor and requested that the Prior Financial Advisor prepare an assessment of the strategic alternatives available to UAM, a financial analysis of UAM, and an analysis of the mergers and acquisitions market and the healthcare industry.

        In February 2015, at the direction of the Board of Directors, UAM and the Prior Financial Advisor commenced a targeted process to explore the sale of UAM (which is referred to herein as the "Early 2015 Process"), during which several potential acquirers were contacted. In addition, management continued discussions with Party A and Party B. The Company entered into confidentiality agreements with various third parties and, with the assistance of the Prior Financial Advisor and Paul Weiss, prepared and distributed a Confidential Information Memorandum to such third parties, held management meetings with the potential acquirors and responded to various due diligence requests. However, no attractive indications of interest were received by UAM during the Early 2015 Process, and the Board of Directors did not authorize any additional action with respect to the Early 2015 Process.

    The 2015-2016 Strategic Review Process

        Throughout the summer of 2015, UAM's management and the Board of Directors discussed the recent consolidation in the managed care industry, the increase in public and private market valuations for healthcare companies and opportunities for UAM to increase stockholder value, including opportunities to optimize the value of the Company's ACO business and efforts to sell the Company's traditional insurance business (referred to herein as the "Traditional Insurance Business") in order to enhance stockholder value. On August 6, 2015, the Board of Directors held a meeting, which was attended by UAM's management, to discuss, among other things, engaging a financial advisor to assist the Company in reviewing strategic alternatives for the Company's ACO business. At the direction of the Board of Directors, UAM's management and several members of the Board of Directors interviewed various financial advisors (including MTS) to assist the Company with its review of strategic alternatives. During this period, the Company had been in discussions with Party A and Party B regarding a possible acquisition of all or a material portion of the Company. On September 22, 2015, the Board of Directors met and unanimously approved engaging MTS and requested that MTS prepare

32


Table of Contents

a preliminary assessment of the strategic alternatives available to UAM to be delivered to the Board of Directors at an upcoming Board of Directors meeting.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on October 22, 2015, which was attended by representatives from MTS and UAM's management, MTS presented an analysis regarding strategic alternatives available to the Company. At the meeting, the Board discussed the various strategic processes previously conducted by the Company and the third parties that may be interested in pursuing a transaction with the Company, including strategic buyers and financial buyers. At the meeting, the Board of Directors also discussed the ongoing discussions with Party A and Party B. Based on these discussions, the Board of Directors decided to explore various strategic alternatives including the continuance of the operations of UAM's businesses on a standalone basis, opportunities to optimize the value of the ACO business and certain sale transaction alternatives, including (a) a potential sale of UAM as a whole (which is referred to herein as a "whole company transaction"), and (b) a potential sale of UAM's Texas Medicare Advantage business and the related Texas ACO businesses (which are referred to herein, together with the Texas Medicare Advantage business, as the "Texas Businesses") (which transaction is referred to herein as a "Texas Businesses transaction").

    Outreach to Potential Bidders

        Following the October 22, 2015 meeting, UAM began a process to explore various strategic alternatives (which process is referred to herein as the "Strategic Review Process").

        In the fall of 2015, members of the Board of Directors received inquiries from WellCare regarding its general interest in acquiring UAM. Thereafter, in early November 2015, certain members of the Board of Directors met with WellCare to discuss a possible transaction. On November 13, 2015, the Board of Directors met to discuss the Strategic Review Process. Representatives from UAM's management, MTS and Paul Weiss also attended the meeting. Representatives from Paul Weiss and Mr. Wolk reviewed legal considerations associated with the Strategic Review Process, including director fiduciary duties. During the course of the Strategic Review Process, the Board of Directors held regularly scheduled meetings at which UAM's management and the Board of Directors, often with the assistance of MTS and Paul Weiss, discussed the then-current status of the Strategic Review Process.

        As part of the Strategic Review Process, UAM and MTS contacted 11 potential acquirers (including both potential strategic acquirers (including WellCare) and potential financial sponsors) that UAM and MTS believed were reasonably likely to have an interest in pursuing a Texas Businesses transaction or a whole company transaction based on, among other things, (a) the then-existing businesses of such potential acquirers, (b) pending transactions in the healthcare industry, (c) historical discussions with UAM, including in connection with the Early 2015 Process, (d) the historical involvement of such parties in merger and acquisition activity in the healthcare industry, and (e) in the case of financial sponsors, their prior experience and interest in managed care.

        As part of the Strategic Review Process, UAM also sought to divest itself of noncore assets in a separate process and on October 8, 2015, UAM announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Traditional Insurance Business to Nassau Reinsurance Group Holdings, L.P., which sale was consummated on August 3, 2016.

    Indications of Interest

        As part of the Strategic Review Process, UAM negotiated and entered into confidentiality agreements with 10 interested parties. During November and December 2015, representatives of UAM and MTS met or had telephonic meetings with representatives of the potential acquirers and provided diligence materials to interested parties. Based on these discussions, several of the third parties indicated that they were not interested in pursuing a transaction, including Party A.

33


Table of Contents

        On January 7, 2016, at the direction of the Board of Directors, MTS delivered bid instruction letters requesting indications of interest to all four parties that continued to express interest in pursuing a transaction, which included WellCare, Party B, Party C and Party D. During January 2016, with the exception of Party B, each of the bidders indicated that they were not interested in pursuing a whole company transaction.

        In late January 2016, MTS, on behalf of UAM, received the following indications of interest:

    WellCare, Party C and Party D provided indications of interest for the Texas Businesses within various ranges from $350,000,000 - $425,000,000 (implying $4.12 - $5.01 per share at the time of such indications of interest); and

    Party B provided a verbal indication of interest for a whole company transaction at a range of $6.75 - $7.25 per share in cash at the time of such indication of interest (with formal written confirmation of such indication of interest received by UAM on February 1, 2016).

        Also in late January 2016, Molina Healthcare provided an indication of interest for UAM's Total Care NY Medicaid Plan business (which is referred to herein as the "TotalCare Medicaid Business").

    Second Round Proposals

        In February 2016, the Board of Directors determined that all bidders that provided a formal indication of interest would be allowed to proceed with additional due diligence, including meetings with members of the management team at the Company's Houston, Texas offices. As a result, on February 29, 2016, MTS distributed second-round bid instruction letters to the four bidders and requested indications of interest with respect to a whole company transaction or a sale of the Texas Businesses, as applicable, by March 10, 2016, which was subsequently extended to March 17, 2016. In addition, during this period, UAM's management and the Board of Directors met numerous times with the assistance of MTS and Paul Weiss to discuss various considerations related to a whole company transaction and a sale of the Texas Businesses and the potential value associated with the remaining businesses, including potential third parties that may be interested in investing in or acquiring the remaining businesses.

        On March 17, 2016, MTS received second-round indications of interests from:

    Party C for a taxable Texas Businesses transaction at a value of approximately $350,000,000 (implying $4.08 per share at the time of such indication of interest), which value was at the lower end of the range originally proposed by Party C;

    WellCare for a non-taxable Texas Businesses transaction at a value of approximately $390,000,000 (implying $4.55 per share at the time of such indication of interest), which value was at the higher end of the range originally proposed by WellCare but included an escrow and other contingencies that could have lowered such value; and

    Party B for a whole company transaction at a value of approximately $567,600,000 (implying $7.00 per share at the time of such indication of interest), contingent on the consummation of the Traditional Insurance Business sale, which value was at the midpoint of the range originally proposed by Party B.

    April and May 2016 Negotiations

        During this period, Party D indicated that it was no longer interested in pursuing a transaction. Thereafter, the Board of Directors and UAM's management met on multiple occasions to discuss strategies to enhance the bids received and the Board of Directors authorized UAM's management and MTS to contact the bidders to improve their bids. On April 5, 2016, Party B sent a revised and increased offer for a whole company transaction to MTS and UAM at a valuation of $7.20 per share

34


Table of Contents

(at the time of such indication of interest). As part of its bid, Party B removed the contingency relating to consummation of the Traditional Insurance Business sale and was prepared to establish a structure to enable the then ongoing litigation brought by UAM arising from UAM's acquisition of APS Healthcare in 2012 (which litigation is referred to herein as the APS litigation) to be pursued on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Company's common stockholders and option holders pursuant to a contingent value right (which is referred to herein as the "Litigation CVR").

        On April 11, 2016, the Board of Directors held a telephonic meeting, which was attended by UAM's management, and representatives of MTS and Paul Weiss, to discuss the Strategic Review Process, including the values of the bids received compared to the value that would be realized on a standalone basis, as well as whether the bids received could be improved. At the meeting, MTS informed the Board of Directors that WellCare had indicated that it was not prepared to improve its terms or the value of its last offer of $390,000,000 for the Texas Businesses. At the direction of the Board of Directors, MTS requested that Party B increase its offer and, on April 14, 2016, Party B provided a revised indication of interest containing a revised offer of $7.40 per share (at the time of such indication of interest), plus the Litigation CVR. Around this time, Party C informed MTS that it was prepared to increase its offer for the Texas Businesses to $450,000,000.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on April 14, 2016, which was attended by representatives of MTS, Paul Weiss and UAM's management, the Board of Directors authorized management to negotiate transaction documents with Party B with respect to a whole company transaction for $7.40 per share (at the time of such indication of interest), plus the Litigation CVR. At the meeting, the Board of Directors requested that management arrange a presentation from Dechert LLP (which is referred to herein as Dechert), the law firm that represented UAM in the APS Litigation, regarding possible values that might be obtained in the APS Litigation.

        Also as part of the Strategic Review Process, on April 19, 2016, UAM announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell the TotalCare Medicaid Business to Molina for $41,300,000, which sale was completed on August 1, 2016.

        Around this time, the Board of Directors decided not to pursue offers from either Party C or WellCare for the Texas Businesses because of the insufficiency of consideration offered by such bidders.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on April 21, 2016, which was attended by representatives of MTS, Paul Weiss, Dechert and UAM's management, the Board of Directors discussed the terms of the proposal from Party B. In addition, Dechert discussed the APS Litigation and provided the Board of Directors with estimates of possible values that might be obtained in the APS Litigation. The Board of Directors also authorized Dechert to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the APS Litigation in an effort to monetize the value of the Litigation CVR.

        Thereafter, until May 9, 2016, management and representatives of UAM negotiated transaction documents with Party B with respect to a whole company transaction. During this time, Party B continued to perform due diligence.

        On May 5 and May 6, 2016, representatives of Party B held telephonic meetings with UAM's Chief Executive Officer and representatives of MTS to discuss its offer for a whole company transaction and informed the Company that as a result of concerns identified in its due diligence investigation, Party B was reducing its offer to $6.75 per share (at the time of such indication of interest), plus the Litigation CVR. After further discussion with Party B, it agreed to revise its offer to $6.80 per share (at the time of such indication of interest), plus the Litigation CVR.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on May 9, 2016, which was attended by representatives of MTS, Paul Weiss and UAM's management, the Board of Directors considered whether or not to accept the revised offer from Party B. After careful consideration of the price and the terms of Party B's offer, the Board of Directors decided not to accept such offer. Thereafter, MTS and UAM's Chief Executive

    June 2016 Stock Repurchase

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on May 26, 2016, which was attended by representatives of Paul Weiss and UAM's management, the Board of Directors discussed the possibility of acquiring the outstanding shares of common stock of UAM held by Perry Corp. and its affiliated funds (such shares of common stock are referred to herein as the "Perry Shares") and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P. and its affiliated funds (such shares of common stock are referred to herein as the "WCAS Shares"). At the conclusion of this meeting, the Board of Directors (a) established a special committee of the Board of Directors consisting of directors disinterested in the repurchase (which is referred to herein as the "Special Committee") to review (i) the potential acquisition of the Perry Shares and WCAS Shares and (ii) the alternative financing available to fund such a potential acquisition, including through the issuance of convertible notes, and (b) agreed to retain Goldman Sachs & Co. to assist with the potential acquisition of shares and related financing. Thereafter, the Special Committee retained Shearman & Sterling LLP as its legal counsel to advise the Special Committee in its review of UAM's potential acquisition of the Perry Shares and the WCAS Shares and the related financing. The Special Committee was formed because Richard Perry and Sean Traynor, directors of UAM, were affiliated with Perry Corp. and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, respectively. Following the May 26 meeting, the Special Committee negotiated the potential acquisition of the Perry Shares and WCAS Shares and the financing thereof.

        On June 16, 2016, the Special Committee approved, and recommended that the Board of Directors authorize, the issuance of convertible senior notes (which are referred to herein as the "Convertible Notes") and the stock purchase agreements to acquire the Perry Shares and the WCAS Shares for $6.80 per share. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on June 16, 2016, which was attended by representatives of Paul Weiss, Goldman Sachs and UAM's management, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of the Convertible Notes, and authorized UAM to enter into stock purchase agreements to acquire the Perry Shares and the WCAS Shares for $6.80 per share. The Board of Directors also formed a pricing committee to consider and approve the final terms of the Convertible Notes.

        On June 27, 2016, at the direction of the Board of Directors, UAM purchased (a) 11,011,515 Perry Shares and (b) 7,098,775 WCAS Shares (which are referred to herein as the "June Repurchase"), which was funded from cash on hand and the proceeds of the sale of $115,000,000 of Convertible Notes. In connection with the June Repurchase, and pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreements for the acquisition of the Perry Shares and the WCAS Shares, as applicable, Richard Perry and Sean Traynor, respectively, resigned from their positions as members of the Board of Directors.

    Proposal from WellCare

        On September 6, 2016, Mr. Barasch received an unsolicited telephonic inquiry from Ken Burdick, WellCare's Chief Executive Officer, expressing potential interest in acquiring UAM. Thereafter, Mr. Barasch informed the Board of Directors of Mr. Burdick's expression of interest. The Board of Directors indicated to Mr. Barasch that given UAM's prior strategic review process, the Board of Directors did not want to engage with WellCare unless such expression of interest provided substantial value for the Company's stockholders and Mr. Barasch subsequently communicated such indication to Mr. Burdick.

        On September 9, 2016, UAM entered into a settlement agreement to fully resolve the APS Litigation. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, UAM acquired all of the approximately 6,300,000 shares of common stock held by the defendants for an aggregate payment of $13,000,000.

        On September 21, 2016, the Board of Directors met in person to review the Company's business, prospects, the managed care environment, including potential M&A activity, and recent discussions with WellCare and Party B, which indicated that it was not prepared to increase its offer above its prior valuation.

        On September 30, 2016, Mr. Burdick called Mr. Barasch and expressed a preliminary interest in exploring a possible whole company transaction at a value range of $9.50-$10.00 per share, which represented a premium of 26.7% to 33.3% above the closing price on the immediately preceding trading day.

        Over the next couple of days, Mr. Barasch spoke with each member of the Board of Directors to discuss Mr. Burdick's inquiry. Based on these discussions, it was the consensus of the Board of Directors for UAM's management to meet with Mr. Burdick to provide Mr. Burdick with an opportunity to further outline his interest in a potential transaction, including valuation and the timing related thereto.

        On October 4, 2016, WellCare and UAM amended the confidentiality agreement that they had previously entered into in 2015 as part of the Strategic Review Process. At the direction of the Board of Directors, on October 5, 2016, Mr. Barasch and Mr. Wolk met with Mr. Burdick and Drew Asher, WellCare's Chief Financial Officer, at the offices of Paul Weiss in New York City to discuss a whole company transaction.

        On October 7, 2016, the Board of Directors met telephonically and Mr. Barasch updated the Board on his recent discussions with representatives from WellCare, including the October 5 meeting. Mr. Barasch also indicated that UAM's management was planning on holding a management presentation for representatives of WellCare on October 10, 2016. Based on these discussions, the Board of Directors was supportive of UAM management continuing discussions with WellCare.

        On October 10, 2016, representatives of UAM held a management presentation for representatives of WellCare at the offices of MTS in New York City.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on October 18, 2016 UAM's management updated the Board of Directors on recent developments and discussions with WellCare and the Board of Directors discussed progress on the proposed whole company transaction with WellCare.

        On October 21, 2016, WellCare submitted a non-binding indication of interest for a whole company transaction at a value of $10.00 per share payable in cash with no financing contingency. The offer represented a premium of 30.2% over the closing price of the Company's common stock on the immediately preceding trading day. In response to an inquiry from the Company, WellCare clarified that it would be responsible for the settlement of the conversion of the Convertible Notes (including the payment of a make-whole premium).

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on October 22, 2016, which was attended by representatives of MTS and UAM's management, the Board of Directors reviewed the WellCare indication of interest. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Board of Directors authorized UAM's management to continue discussions with WellCare.

        On October 24, 2016, Mr. Barasch and Mr. Wolk met with Messrs. Burdick and Asher to continue discussions regarding a potential transaction, including potential timing and the nature and scope of the due diligence investigation that WellCare expected to conduct.

        During October and November, WellCare conducted extensive due diligence and UAM's management participated in multiple telephonic due diligence sessions with representatives of WellCare.

        On October 25, 2016, the Board of Directors met to continue discussions regarding the potential WellCare transaction. The meeting was attended by representatives of MTS, Paul Weiss and UAM's management. At the meeting, Paul Weiss reviewed with the Board of Directors the various legal considerations associated with evaluating the WellCare indication of interest, including the prior and current marketing processes and the fiduciary duties of the directors. MTS also reviewed a presentation with the Board of Directors and discussed the universe of potential third parties that might be interested in a whole company transaction or an acquisition of portions of UAM, the likelihood of such a transaction given the pending and recently completed healthcare merger transactions, the various marketing processes and other discussions that UAM had previously conducted over the past several years, including the Early 2015 Process and the Strategic Review Process earlier in 2016, and the merits of engaging in another strategic review process. At the conclusion of such discussion, the Board of Directors determined, after consultation with MTS and Paul Weiss, and based on the Board of Directors' knowledge of the Company's businesses, assets, financial condition, results of operations and prospects (as well as the risks involved in achieving those prospects), the nature of the Company's businesses and the industries in which the Company competes and the market intelligence gained through the sale processes previously conducted by UAM, not to commence another active solicitation for a sale of the Company. At the meeting, the Board of Directors authorized management to continue discussions with WellCare regarding a transaction and requested that Paul Weiss prepare and deliver to WellCare a merger agreement that contained a "go-shop" provision.

        On October 29, 2016, Paul Weiss delivered a draft merger agreement to Kirkland & Ellis LLP (which is referred to herein as "K&E"), external legal counsel to WellCare.

        At a meeting of the Board of Directors on November 1, 2016, which was attended by representatives of MTS, Paul Weiss and UAM's management, UAM's management updated the Board of Directors on discussions with WellCare (including progress with respect to ongoing due diligence and a potential timeline for the transaction) and the Board of Directors discussed such updates and timeline.

        On November 2 and November 3, 2016, representatives of WellCare and UAM held due diligence meetings in Houston, Texas and discussed the terms of the draft merger agreement, including the "go-shop" provision proposed by UAM and certain provisions in the merger agreement relating to regulatory and antitrust issues. During these meetings, representatives of WellCare objected to the inclusion of a "go-shop" provision in the merger agreement and indicated that such provision would not be acceptable to WellCare.

        On November 4, 2016, representatives of UAM and WellCare had a telephonic meeting to discuss the proposed transaction and any significant issues identified by WellCare in the course of its due diligence investigation of UAM.

        On November 6, 2016, K&E delivered a revised draft of the merger agreement to Paul Weiss.

        On November 8, 2016, UAM issued its financial results for the third quarter of 2016 and held a conference call to discuss the results.

        On November 10, 2016, representatives of UAM and WellCare had a telephonic meeting to discuss the proposed transaction, including the regulatory and antitrust provisions of the merger agreement, and certain closing conditions relating to regulatory matters. During the call, representatives of UAM indicated that "deal certainty" was highly important and that it expected WellCare to provide strong commitments to obtain antitrust and other regulatory approvals as part of the merger agreement and that in exchange, UAM would consider agreeing to other provisions requested by WellCare, including removal of the "go-shop" provision.

Representatives of Paul Weiss presented, among other things, an antitrust analysis to the Board of Directors during this meeting. The Board of Directors also discussed the potential impact that the election of U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump could have on UAM, the regulatory environment (including the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act), the managed care industry, the mergers and acquisitions environment, interest rates, tax rates, the pending healthcare mergers and overall valuation of UAM. While the Board of Directors indicated a willingness to pursue the transaction with WellCare, the Board of Directors instructed UAM's management and advisors to engage with WellCare and its advisors to attempt to improve the terms of the merger agreement and WellCare's offer.

        On November 14, 2016, K&E delivered a revised draft of the merger agreement to Paul Weiss.

        Later on November 15, 2016, Mr. Barasch contacted Mr. Burdick to discuss the proposed transaction. In addition, on November 15, 2016, Paul Weiss delivered a revised draft of the merger agreement to K&E.

        Later on November 15, 2016, representatives of UAM and WellCare had a telephonic meeting to discuss open issues with respect to the revised draft of the merger agreement.

At this meeting, UAM's advisors reported that while discussions between UAM's advisors and WellCare's advisors resulted in substantial improvements on certain terms of the merger agreement, including antitrust and regulatory provisions, WellCare was unwilling to increase the price of its offer. The Board of Directors agreed to meet again later that evening.

        Later on November 16, 2016, the Board of Directors held a telephonic meeting, which was attended by representatives from MTS, Paul Weiss and UAM's management. Representatives of Paul Weiss reviewed with members of the Board of Directors their fiduciary duties under applicable law and reviewed in detail the provisions of the proposed merger agreement, which had previously been provided to the Board of Directors together with a summary thereof.

Board of Directors its financial analysis of the $10.00 per share cash consideration to be paid to the holders of shares of UAM common stock pursuant to the merger agreement and rendered an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated November 17, 2016, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by MTS described in its written opinion, the $10.00 per share cash consideration to be paid to the holders of shares of UAM common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders (see "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 45). After careful consideration of various reasons to approve the merger agreement, and certain countervailing factors, the members of the Board of Directors, unanimously approved and declared advisable and in the best interests of UAM and its stockholders for UAM to enter into, execute and deliver the merger agreement, and the Board of Directors unanimously approved in all respects the form, terms and provisions of, and transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and all ancillary documents related thereto.

        Early in the morning on November 17, 2016, prior to the commencement of trading of the shares of UAM common stock on the NYSE, the parties executed the merger agreement and issued a joint press release announcing the transaction.

Reasons for the Merger

        In evaluating the merger agreement and the merger, the Board of Directors consulted with the Company's management and legal and financial advisors and, in reaching its decision at its meeting on November 16, 2016 to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to recommend that the holders of shares of UAM common stock vote "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement, the Board of Directors considered a variety of factors in respect of the merger, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

    the Board of Directors' knowledge of the Company's businesses, assets, financial condition, results of operations and prospects (as well as the risks involved in achieving those prospects), the nature of the Company's businesses and the industries and regulatory environment in which the Company operates and competes and the market for UAM common stock;

    the current and historical market prices of UAM common stock and recent trading activity, including the fact that the per share merger consideration of $10.00 represents a premium of approximately (a) 12.5% relative to the Company's closing stock price on November 16, 2016, the last trading day before the announcement of the transaction, (b) 27.0% compared to the 30-day VWAP for the period ended on November 16, 2016, (c) 34.4% compared to the 60-day VWAP for the period ended on November 16, 2016, and (d) 30.2% compared to the closing stock price on October 21, 2016, the last full trading day prior to WellCare's initial indication of interest;

    that the proposed merger consideration is all cash, so that the transaction provides stockholders of the Company certainty of value and liquidity for their shares of UAM stock, especially when viewed against the Company's competitive positioning and prospects as a standalone company, taking into account the continued costs, risks and uncertainties associated with continuing to operate independently as a public company, including:

    the competitive nature of the industry in which the Company operates, including the increasing competition faced by the Company from significantly larger competitors with significantly greater resources than the Company;

40


Table of Contents

      the inherent uncertainty of attaining managements financial projections, including the fact that the Company's actual financial results in future periods could differ materially from the projected results described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)";

      the Company's relatively small size as compared to its competitors which places the Company at a significant scale disadvantage;

      the Company's ability to maintain and/or improve its Medicare Star ratings;

      the geographic concentration of the Company's Medicare Advantage business and risks associated therewith;

      the fact that the Company's businesses are subject to extensive government regulation, oversight and frequent audit and its ability to continue to maintain compliance with all such rules, regulations and laws;

      the general uncertainty about the prospects for the Company's Accountable Care Organization business;

      the Company's ability to continue to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with doctors, hospitals and other providers of care;

      the current, historical and projected financial condition and results of operations of the Company on a stand-alone basis, including the risks to achieving its projections and long-term results amid greater industry consolidation and the current and prospective regulatory environment; and

      the potential consolidation of managed care companies and other industry participants, recent and prospective legislative and regulatory changes, and the potential impact of those industry risks and changes on the Company's stand-alone operations and financial prospects.

    the results of the numerous strategic review processes that the Company had previously undertaken, including the results of the Company's efforts to solicit acquisition proposals (for all or material portions of UAM) from numerous potential third parties, including both strategic and financial buyers, and the proposals (or lack of proposals) received in such processes, including that no other credible bid emerged which offered a value approaching the per share merger consideration, and that the Board of Directors decided against proceeding with such transaction, as further described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Background of the Merger";

    the value and form of the merger consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders in the merger, taking into account:

    the oral opinion of MTS rendered on November 16, 2016, which opinion was subsequently confirmed in a written opinion dated November 17, 2016, to the Board of Directors to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in its written opinion, the per share merger consideration of $10.00 to be offered to the holders of shares of UAM common stock in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, and the financial analyses related thereto and prepared by MTS and described under "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 45;

    that the merger consideration is all cash and is not subject to any financing contingency, which will provide the Company's stockholders certainty of value and the ability to monetize their investment in the Company in the near future, and will also eliminate risks and uncertainties inherent in holding the Company's stock, including as a result of matters beyond the Company's control;

41


Table of Contents

      the fact that the merger consideration represents a premium of approximately 47% relative to the price the Company paid, on June 27, 2016, to repurchase shares of its common stock owned by two stockholder groups that had representatives on the Board of Directors, as further described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Background of the Merger"; and

      the risks associated with operating as a standalone company, including the potential execution risks associated with the likelihood of meeting financial projections and the potential risk associated with the possibility that even if the Company meets such financial projections, the market may not reflect such execution in the Company's stock price;

    the belief that the Company was reasonably likely to receive all required regulatory approvals in connection with the merger transaction with WellCare;

    the fact that the holders of shares of UAM common stock who do not vote to adopt the merger agreement have the right to demand appraisal of their shares in accordance with the procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL; and

    the terms of the merger agreement, including:

    that WellCare is (a) required to take all actions necessary to obtain regulatory approvals of the transaction, including agreeing to divestitures, unless such actions would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of WellCare and (b) otherwise required to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the satisfaction of the conditions in the merger, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Consents; Filings; Further Actions"; and

    the Company's ability, under certain circumstances, to furnish information to and conduct negotiations with, third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals made after the date of the merger agreement and prior to the time the Company's stockholders approve the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Solicitation of Takeover Proposals" beginning on page 79;

    the ability of the Board of Directors to change its recommendation in the event of an intervening event that was not known, or reasonably foreseeable, to the Board of Directors at or prior to the execution of the merger agreement, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Fiduciary Out; Superior Proposals; Intervening Events" beginning on page 80;

    the Board of Directors' view that the terms of the merger agreement would be unlikely to deter third parties from making a superior proposal, including the merger agreement's terms and conditions as they relate to the ability of the Board of Directors to change its recommendation with respect to the merger agreement and the merger, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Fiduciary Out; Superior Proposals; Intervening Events" beginning on page 80;

    the Board of Directors' ability to terminate the merger agreement in specified circumstances relating to a superior proposal subject, in specified cases, to payment of a termination fee of $18,000,000 plus expense reimbursement of up to $2,000,000, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Fiduciary Out; Superior Proposals; Intervening Events" beginning on page 80;

    the Board of Directors' belief that the termination fee of $18,000,000, which is approximately 3.0% of the Company's implied equity value in the merger, together with the expense reimbursement provisions, is reasonable and does not preclude third parties from making competing acquisition proposals, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies";

42


Table of Contents

      the retention and employee benefit arrangements provided in the merger agreement, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Employees; Benefit Plans";

      that, except in the case of a willful and material breach of the Company's non-solicitation covenants or actual and intentional fraud, WellCare's sole remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise) for the damages suffered as a result of the failure of the merger to be consummated or otherwise suffered as a result of, or in connection with, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, is the payment of the termination fee and expense reimbursement, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies"; and

      the fact that the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of UAM common stock in adopting the merger is a closing condition, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Merger".

        The Board of Directors also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in its deliberations concerning the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

    that the Company's stockholders will not participate in the future earnings or growth of the Company and will not benefit from any appreciation in value of the Company, including any appreciation in value that could be realized as a result of the acquisition of the Company by WellCare;

    the fact that the Company and WellCare must obtain clearance under the HSR Act, as well as other approvals from state insurance and other regulators, in order to complete the merger, which approvals may not be obtained or may be subject to conditions that WellCare is not required to comply with;

    the fact that, while the merger is expected to be completed, there is no assurance that all conditions to the parties' obligations to complete the merger will be satisfied or waived, and, as a result, it is possible that the merger might not be completed even if it is approved by the holders of shares of UAM common stock;

    that the covenants, limitations and restrictions imposed in the merger agreement on the conduct by the Company of its business prior to completion of the merger could have negative effects on the Company, including:

    restrictions on the conduct of the Company's business prior to the consummation of the merger, including the requirement that the Company conduct its business in the ordinary course, subject to specific limitations, which may delay or prevent the Company from undertaking business opportunities that may arise before the completion of the merger and that, absent the merger agreement, the Company might have pursued;

    restrictions on the ability of the Company to pursue certain acquisitions without the prior consent of WellCare, which could delay or prevent the Company from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or certain other action the Company might otherwise take with respect to the operations of the Company pending completion of the merger; and

    the negative impact that may result on the Company's ability to retain and, if necessary, attract key employees, particularly while the merger agreement is pending;

    that certain provisions of the merger agreement could have the effect of discouraging third parties from submitting competing acquisition proposals involving the Company, including (a) the restrictions on the Company's ability to solicit proposals for alternative transactions

43


Table of Contents

      involving the Company and (b) WellCare's match right, as further described in "The Merger Agreement—Solicitation of Takeover Proposals";

    the risk that the merger could be delayed or not completed due to the failure of the Company or WellCare to satisfy the conditions to the merger, including the failure of the holders of shares of UAM common stock to approve the merger;

    the potential adverse effect on the Company's business and the share price of UAM common stock due to the risk that the merger may not be completed on the expected timetable, or at all;

    the significant costs involved in connection with entering into the merger agreement and completing the merger, and the substantial time and effort of UAM's management required to complete the merger, which may disrupt UAM's business operations;

    that, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay WellCare a termination fee in an amount equal to $18,000,000 (plus reimbursable expenses up to a maximum of $2,000,000), and the effect such payments may have on a potential buyer considering a competing proposal to acquire the Company;

    the risks, costs and disruptions to the Company's operations if the merger is not completed, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition, and the potential effect on the Company's business and its provider, member, beneficiary agent and vendor relationships;

    general economic, market and political conditions, and the risk that the results of the 2016 U.S. elections, may lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for the Company;

    the fact that an all-cash transaction would be taxable to the Company's stockholders that are U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

    that certain directors and executive officers of the Company have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the Company's stockholders, as further described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" and "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)"; and

    other risks and uncertainties in the Company's filings with the SEC, including the risks set forth in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (filed with the SEC on March 10, 2016), referred to as the "Form 10-K." See "Where Stockholders Can Find More Information" for further information.

        The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive but, the Company believes, includes all material factors considered by the Board of Directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered and the complexity of these matters, the Board of Directors found it impracticable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weight to each of the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. Rather, the Board of Directors based its judgment on the total mix of information available to it regarding the overall effect of the merger on the Company's stockholders compared to the overall effect of any alternative transaction or remaining a stand-alone company. Accordingly, the judgments of individual directors may have been influenced to a greater or lesser degree by their individual views with respect to different factors.

        In reaching the determination described above, the Board of Directors adopted unanimous resolutions, among other things:

    approving the transactions and adopting a plan of merger as contemplated under the merger agreement;

    declaring it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company's stockholders that the Company enter into, execute and deliver the merger agreement; and

44


Table of Contents

    resolving that the merger agreement be submitted to the Company's stockholders for adoption at a special meeting of the Company's stockholders held for such purpose, and recommending to the Company's stockholders that they vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at the special meeting of the Company's stockholders.

        THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT (PROPOSAL 1).

Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor

        UAM retained MTS as financial advisor to the Board of Directors in connection with the merger. In connection with this engagement, the Board of Directors requested that MTS evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of UAM common stock (other than shares held by WellCare, Merger Sub or any affiliate of WellCare or Merger Sub) of the merger consideration to be received by such holders pursuant to the merger agreement.

        On November 16, 2016, MTS Securities rendered the MTS opinion orally to the Board of Directors, which oral opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing, dated November 17, 2016, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken, which are set forth in the MTS opinion, the merger consideration to be received by the holders of shares of UAM common stock (other than shares held by WellCare, Merger Sub or any affiliate of WellCare of Merger Sub), pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

        The full text of the written MTS opinion, dated November 17, 2016, which describes, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the MTS opinion, is attached as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated by reference herein. You should read the MTS opinion carefully in its entirety. MTS Securities provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the merger. The MTS opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of UAM common stock should vote with respect to the merger or to take any other action in connection with the merger or otherwise. The summary of the MTS opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MTS opinion.

        In the course of performing its review and analyses for rendering the opinion described above, MTS Securities:

    reviewed the financial terms of a draft copy of the merger agreement, dated as of November 16, 2016, which was the most recent draft available to MTS (which draft is referred to herein as the "draft merger agreement");

    reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning the Company and the industries in which it operates;

    reviewed certain publicly available financial analyses and forecasts relating to the Company prepared by equity analysts who report on the Company;

    reviewed certain internal financial forecasts prepared by the Company's management and provided to MTS in connection with its engagement as financial advisor to the Board of Directors (referred to herein as the "Company financial projections");

    conducted discussions with members of senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the matters described in the immediately preceding three bullets, and certain other matters MTS believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry;

Table of Contents

    compared the financial and operating performance of the Company with publicly available information concerning other publicly-traded companies and reviewed the current and historical market prices of the UAM common stock and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies, in each case, that MTS deemed relevant;

    reviewed and analyzed the proposed financial terms of the merger as compared to the financial terms of certain selected business combinations and the consideration paid in such transactions that MTS deemed relevant;

    reviewed and analyzed, based on the Company financial projections, the cash flows generated by the Company to determine the present value of the Company's discounted cash flows; and

    performed such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as MTS deemed appropriate for the purposes of the MTS opinion.

        In arriving at its opinion, MTS Securities assumed and relied upon, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information that was publicly available or was provided to, discussed with or reviewed by MTS Securities. MTS Securities and its personnel are not legal, regulatory, tax or financial reporting experts and relied, with the consent of the Board of Directors, on the assessments made by advisors to the Company with respect to such issues. MTS Securities did not conduct any independent verification of the Company financial projections. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Company financial projections, MTS Securities assumed, with the consent of the Board of Directors, and based upon discussions with the Company's management, that they have been reasonably prepared in good faith, that are the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future results of operations and financial performance of the Company. MTS Securities expressed no view as to the Company financial projections or the assumptions on which they were based.

        In arriving at its opinion, MTS Securities did not make any analysis of, and expressed no opinion as to, the adequacy of the statutory capital reserves of the Company and relied upon information supplied to MTS Securities by the Company as to such adequacy. MTS Securities did not make any independent evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or WellCare or any of their respective subsidiaries, and was not furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals, nor did MTS Securities evaluate the solvency of the Company, WellCare or any other entity under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by MTS Securities in connection with its opinion were going-concern analyses. MTS Securities expressed no opinion regarding the liquidation value of the Company or any other entity. MTS Securities assumed that there was no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of the Company since the date of the most recent relevant financial statements made available to MTS Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MTS Securities undertook no independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or may be subject, and at the direction of the Company and with its consent, MTS Securities made no assumption concerning, and therefore did not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters in rendering its opinion. MTS Securities also assumed that neither the Company nor WellCare is party to any material pending transaction that was not disclosed to MTS Securities, including without limitation any financing, recapitalization, acquisition or merger, divestiture or spin-off, other than the merger.

        MTS Securities assumed that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the merger agreement and in all other related documents and instruments that are referred to therein were and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date or the dates made or deemed made, that each party will fully and timely perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be

46


Table of Contents

performed by it under the merger agreement in all material respects, that the merger will be consummated pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement without amendments thereto, and that all conditions to the consummation of the merger will be satisfied without waiver thereof. MTS Securities also assumed that any governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated in connection with the merger will be obtained and that, in the course of obtaining any of those consents, no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the merger.

        The MTS opinion was necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions existing, and on the information made available to MTS Securities, as of the date of its opinion. MTS Securities did not consider any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered by the United States Congress, the SEC, or any other governmental or regulatory bodies, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Although subsequent developments may affect the conclusions reached in its opinion, MTS Securities assumed no obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. The MTS opinion addresses solely the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of UAM common stock (other than WellCare, Merger Sub and their respective affiliates) of the merger consideration set forth in the merger agreement and does not address any other terms in the merger agreement or any other agreement relating to the merger or any other aspect or implication of the merger, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the merger. The MTS opinion does not address the Company's underlying business decision to proceed with the merger or the relative merits of the merger compared to other alternatives available to the Company. MTS Securities was not requested to opine as to, and the MTS opinion does not in any manner address the amount or nature of compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of any party to the merger, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be paid to the Company's public stockholders in connection with the merger or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. The MTS opinion was reviewed and approved by a fairness committee of MTS Securities.

    Summary of Financial Analysis

        MTS Securities performed a variety of financial and comparable analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. In arriving at its opinion, MTS Securities considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. The overall conclusions MTS Securities reached are based on all the analyses and factors presented, taken as a whole, and also on application of MTS Securities' own experience and judgment. Such conclusions may involve significant elements of subjective judgment and qualitative analysis. MTS Securities therefore gave no opinion as to the value or merit standing alone of any one or more parts of the analyses. Furthermore, MTS Securities believes that the summary provided and the analyses described below must be considered as a whole and that selecting any portion of the analyses, without considering all of them, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying MTS Securities' analysis and opinion. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or combination of analyses described below should not be taken to be the view of MTS Securities with respect to the actual value of the Company or its capital stock.

        In performing its analyses, MTS Securities made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, regulatory and economic conditions and other matters, all of which are beyond MTS Securities' control and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Any estimates used by MTS Securities in its analysis are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

    Selected Public Companies Analysis

        MTS Securities reviewed and compared certain financial and operating information for the Company and certain other U.S.-listed companies that are managed care organizations. The companies included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with operations that MTS, for purposes of analysis and based on its professional judgment and experience, deemed relevant to consider in relation to the Company.

        MTS Securities calculated valuation multiples for the selected public companies by calculating, among other things, the ratio of each such company's respective enterprise value (referred to herein as "EV") (based on the closing price per share of each selected public company's common stock on November 15, 2016) to such company's EBITDA for the last twelve months (referred to herein as "LTM") and such company's estimated 2016 and 2017 EBITDA (based on consensus industry estimates and calculated throughout as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). MTS Securities also calculated valuation multiples for the selected public companies by calculating the ratio of current market price to estimated GAAP earnings for fiscal years 2016 (referred to herein as "2016E GAAP P/E") and 2017 (referred to herein as "2017E GAAP P/E"). MTS Securities calculated each of the 2016E GAAP P/E and 2017E GAAP P/E multiples based on (a) closing market prices as of November 15, 2016 and (b) financial data, as of November 15, 2016, that it obtained from publicly available sources.

        MTS Securities categorized the selected public companies as either Diversified Managed Care or Government Services companies and calculated the respective EV/EBITDA multiples and 2016E and 2017E GAAP P/E multiples for each of the selected public companies as set forth in the following tables. The following tables summarize the results of each of these analyses:

        The analyses indicated the following:

    LTM EV/EBITDA multiples for the selected companies ranging from a low of 8.0x to a high of 12.9x;

    2016E EV/EBITDA multiples ranging from a low of 7.3x to a high of 12.3x;

    2017E EV/EBITDA multiples ranging from a low of 6.6x to a high of 11.2x;

    2016E P/E multiples ranging from a low of 15.0x to a high of 25.9x; and

    2017E P/E multiples ranging from a low of 12.4x to a high of 21.0x.

        Based on its analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the selected companies and other considerations that MTS Securities deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience:

    the implied ranges of values of the Company's common stock based on the derived multiples of LTM EV/EBITDA were $3.65 to $5.23 per share;

    the implied ranges of value of the Company's common stock based on the derived 2016E EV/EBITDA were $4.13 to $6.24 per share;

    the implied ranges of value of the Company's common stock based on the derived multiples of 2017E EV/EBITDA were:

    $8.05 to $12.84 per share when applied to the low case of the Company financial projections (as defined below in this Proxy Statement) for fiscal year 2017; and

    $8.68 to $13.89 per share when applied to the high case of the Company financial projections for fiscal year 2017;

    the implied ranges of values of the Company's common stock based on the derived multiples of 2016E GAAP P/E were $0.43 to $0.75;

    the implied ranges of values of the Company's common stock based on the derived multiples of 2017E GAAP P/E were:

    $8.14 to $13.74 per share when applied to the low case of the Company financial projections for fiscal year 2017; and

    $9.05 to $15.27 per share when applied to the high case of the Company financial projections for fiscal year 2017.

    Selected Comparable Acquisitions Analysis

        MTS Securities examined selected transactions with respect to companies that MTS Securities judged to be relevant based on its professional judgment and experience. MTS Securities reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information for the following nine business combinations in the healthcare industry that were announced subsequent to July 1, 2010.

        The transactions selected by MTS Securities were:

Date Announced
  Target   Acquiror   EV/LTM
EBITDA
  EV/NTM
EBITDA
 
07/24/15   Cigna Corporation   Anthem, Inc.     13.1x     12.9x  
07/03/15   Humana Inc.   Aetna Inc.     13.9x     11.8x  
07/02/15   Health Net, Inc.   Centene Corporation     14.5x     8.7x  
11/05/12   Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc.   Humana Inc.     8.2x     N/A  
08/20/12   Coventry Health Care, Inc.   Aetna Inc.     6.2x     7.4x  
07/09/12   AMERIGROUP Corporation   Anthem, Inc.     16.3x     11.6x  
05/21/12   Healthcare Partners LLC   DaVita Inc.     8.4x     N/A  
10/24/11   HealthSpring, Inc.   Cigna Corporation     7.7x     7.0x  
08/27/10   Bravo Health, Inc.   HealthSpring, Inc.     6.5x     N/A  

        These transactions were selected, among other reasons, because their participants, size and other factors, for purposes of MTS Securities' analysis, may be considered similar to the merger. MTS Securities calculated valuation multiples for the selected precedent transactions as a function of EV divided by each of LTM EBITDA and NTM EBITDA. MTS Securities then compared the range of multiples calculated for the selected public companies.

    LTM EBITDA multiples for the selected companies ranged from a low of 6.2x to a high of 16.3x.

    NTM EBITDA multiples ranged from a low of 7.0x to a high of 12.9x.

        Based on its analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the selected transactions and other considerations that MTS Securities deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience, this analysis indicated that the implied ranges of values of the Company's common stock were:

    $3.07 to $6.33 per share based on the derived multiples of LTM EBITDA,

    $8.43 to $14.64 per share per share when applied to the low case of the Company financial projections based on the derived multiples of NTM EBITDA, and

    $9.09 to $15.85 per share when applied to the high case of the Company financial projections based on the derived multiples of NTM EBITDA.

    Sum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

        MTS Securities performed a sum-of-the-parts discounted cash flow valuation of the Company's Medicare Advantage and ACO Segments in order to derive an implied per-share equity value for the Company. MTS Securities performed the discounted cash flow analysis of the Company based on the Company financial projections. Based on such data, MTS Securities calculated and utilized the fully taxed unlevered free cash flows that Company management expects such segments will generate during the period beginning on November 15, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2021, based on management estimates of segment-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, in the case of both the Company's Medicare Advantage and ACO Segments, and tax attributes, M&A activity, other corporate finance activities, other corporate cash flow items, and restricted stock dividends, in the case

50


Table of Contents

of the Company's Medicare Advantage Segment, in each case, as prepared by management of the Company.

        MTS Securities calculated terminal values for the Company by applying a range of terminal value EBITDA multiples of 6.0x to 10.0x and 7.0x to 11.0x to the Company's estimated EBITDA for the Medicare Advantage Segment and the ACO Segment, respectively, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. MTS Securities then discounted these free cash flow and terminal values amounts to present value. For the Company's Medicare Advantage Segment, MTS Securities used a range of discount rates of 8.3% to 9.3% (determined based on MTS Securities' analysis of the weighted average cost of capital for comparable companies) and for the Company's ACO Segment, MTS Securities used a range of discount rates of 17.3% to 18.3% (determined based on MTS Securities' analysis of the weighted average cost of capital for comparable companies), in each case, discounted to November 15, 2016.

        Using these sum-of-the-parts valuation analyses for each of the Company's business segments, MTS Securities estimated the implied total equity value of the Company to be between $7.41 and $10.51 per share when applied to the low case of the Company financial projections or between $9.90 and $14.30 per share when applied to the Company's high case of the Company financial projections.

    Research Analyst Stock Price Targets

        MTS Securities analyzed Wall Street equity research analyst estimates of potential future value for common stock (commonly referred to as price targets) of the Company based on publicly available equity research published on the Company. These price targets reflect each analyst's estimate of the future public market trading price of the UAM common stock and were discounted to reflect present values by applying an illustrative discount rate of 11% for a one-year discount period, based on the Company's implied cost of equity. MTS Securities noted that the range of discounted equity analyst price targets of the UAM common stock ranged from $6.77 to $8.35 per share, with a mean price target of $7.79 per share and a median price target of $7.79 per share. In connection with this analysis, MTS Securities also noted that the $10.00 implied per share value of the merger consideration was higher than the discounted equity analyst price target range of the Company. The public market trading price targets published by equity research analysts do not necessarily reflect current market trading prices for the UAM common stock and these estimates are subject to uncertainties, including the future financial performance of the Company and future market conditions.

        The MTS opinion was one of the many factors taken into consideration by the Board of Directors in making its determination to approve the proposed merger, as further described in "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Recommendation of the Board of Directors—Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 40. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Board of Directors with respect to the merger consideration or of whether the Board of Directors would have been willing to agree to a different merger consideration. The merger consideration was determined through arm's-length negotiations between the Company and WellCare and was approved by the Board of Directors. MTS provided advice to the Company during these negotiations. MTS Securities and MTS did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to the Company or the Board of Directors or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger.

        The Company selected MTS as its financial advisor because MTS is nationally recognized in the healthcare industry as having investment banking professionals with significant experience in healthcare investment banking and M&A transactions, including transactions similar to the merger. Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement dated as of October 20, 2015, between the Company and MTS, the

51


Table of Contents

Company engaged MTS to act as its financial advisor, including in connection with the merger. In addition, MTS agreed to cause MTS Securities to provide, at no additional cost, an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of any consideration to be paid in any such transaction. As compensation for MTS' financial advisory services, upon the completion of the merger, the Company will pay an M&A success fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of consideration paid to the Company and/or its stockholders in connection with such merger (referred to herein as the "Total Consideration") up to $725,000,000, and 1.8% of any Total Consideration thereafter. The Company also agreed to reimburse MTS for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney's fees and expenses, and to indemnify MTS for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, in connection with its work for the Company. As permitted by the terms of the engagement letter, MTS' broker-dealer affiliate, MTS Securities, delivered the MTS opinion to the Board of Directors.

        MTS and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, and for other purposes. As noted above, MTS acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the merger agreement during the two-year period prior to the date of the MTS opinion but received no prior compensation from UAM. MTS and its affiliates may also provide investment banking services to the Company and WellCare in the future, and would expect to receive fees for the rendering of such services. During the two-year period prior to the date of the MTS opinion, no material relationship existed between MTS or any of its affiliates and WellCare or any of its affiliates pursuant to which compensation was received by MTS or its affiliates.

Projected Financial Information

        The Company's senior management does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings, including projections for the current fiscal year, and is especially wary of making projections for extended earnings periods due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, low case and high case financial forecasts for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2021 prepared by management (which forecasts are referred to herein, respectively, as the "low case Company financial projections" and the "high case Company financial projections", and, collectively, as the "Company financial projections") were made available to the Board of Directors in connection with their consideration of the merger and to MTS in connection with its engagement as financial advisor to the Board of Directors.

        In addition, high case financial forecasts for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2017 were made available to WellCare and Merger Sub in connection with their respective considerations of the merger. We have included a summary of the Company financial projections below to give the Company's stockholders access to certain nonpublic information provided to WellCare, Merger Sub and/or MTS for purposes of considering and evaluating the merger and not to influence the Company's stockholders' decision whether to vote for or against the merger. None of UAM, MTS, WellCare or Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates or representatives assumes any responsibility for the validity, reasonableness, accuracy or completeness of the Company financial projections or makes any representation to any of the Company's stockholders regarding the Company financial projections. The Company has not made any representation concerning the Company financial projections to WellCare or Merger Sub in the merger agreement or otherwise. None of the Company, MTS, WellCare, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates intends to, and each of them disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Company financial projections to reflect the occurrence of future events, even if any or all of the assumptions underlying the Company financial projections are shown to be in error, except as may be required in order to comply with applicable securities laws. The inclusion of the Company financial projections should not be regarded as an indication that the Company, MTS, WellCare or anyone who received the projections then considered, or now considers, the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and this information should not be relied upon as such.

52


Table of Contents

        The Company financial projections were prepared by the Company's management for internal purposes. The Company financial projections were not prepared with a view to public disclosure or complying with generally accepted accounting principles (referred to herein as "GAAP"), the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. These non-GAAP financial measures were presented because management believed they could be useful indicators of the Company's projected future operating performance and cash flow. The Company financial projections included in this Proxy Statement should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of the Company's operating and other financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not determined consistently by all companies, the non-GAAP measures presented in these Company financial projections may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

        UAM's independent registered public accounting firm has not examined, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections presented in this Proxy Statement, and it has not expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance of such information or the likelihood that UAM may achieve the results contained in the Company financial projections, and accordingly assumes no responsibility for them and disclaims any association with them. The ultimate achievability of the Company financial projections included herein is also subject to numerous risks and uncertainties including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in "Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward-Looking Information" beginning on page 24, as well as those described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent filings made with the SEC. The Company has made publicly available the Company's actual results of operations for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2016. You should review the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to obtain this information. Readers of this Proxy Statement are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company financial projections set forth below in this Proxy Statement.

        The Company financial projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, competitive, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as matters specific to the Company's business. Many of these matters are beyond the Company's control and the continuing uncertainty surrounding general political and economic conditions and in the industry in which the Company operates creates significant uncertainty around the Company financial projections. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. See also "Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward-Looking Information" beginning on page 24. Because the Company financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year.

        The Company financial projections should be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information regarding the Company contained in the Company's public filings with the SEC. The Company's stockholders are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the Company financial projections included in this Proxy Statement.

        The Company financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared, including the announcement of the merger. There can be no assurance that the announcement of the merger will not affect the Company's business. Further, the Company financial projections do not take into account the effect of any failure to occur of the merger and should not be viewed as accurate or continuing in that context.

Regulatory Approvals

    Consents; Filings; Further Action

        The merger agreement requires each of the parties to use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly (a) obtain any consents, approvals or other authorizations, and make any filings and notifications required in connection with merger agreement, (b) make any other submissions either required or deemed appropriate by either WellCare or the Company, in connection with the merger under the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the NYSE rules and regulations, CMS, state insurance laws and any other applicable law, (c) take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to (i) cause the expiration of the applicable waiting periods, or (ii) obtain receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, as applicable (including the required Company consents), under such laws, rules and regulations as soon as practicable, and (d) defend any legal actions challenging the merger agreement or the merger, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order or any other order vacated or reversed. In addition to the parties' obligations described above, WellCare has agreed to promptly take any and all action necessary (including with respect to its subsidiaries) to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any order that would have the effect of preventing or delaying the closing of the merger and to resolve the objections any governmental authority asserts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any law reasonably expected to be asserted by any governmental authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement so as to enable the closing of the

54


Table of Contents

merger to occur as soon as reasonably possible, except that WellCare is not required to take any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its and its subsidiaries' business, taken as a whole.

    Antitrust Agency Approvals and Consents

        Under the HSR Act, and the related rules and regulations that have been issued by the Federal Trade Commission (referred to herein as the "FTC"), certain transactions having a value above specified thresholds may not be consummated until specified notices, information and documentary material have been furnished to the applicable governmental authorities and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The requirements of the HSR Act apply to the acquisition of shares of UAM common stock in the merger. Notification and Report Forms were filed with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission on November 30, 2016. Early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the merger was granted effective December 30, 2016.

        At any time before or after consummation of the merger, notwithstanding the early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, the FTC or state antitrust and competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the Company or WellCare. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

    Healthcare Insurance Agency Approvals and Consents

        Pursuant to the insurance and healthcare laws and regulations of certain states, the federal government and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, and pursuant to certain licenses and contracts of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, applicable regulatory authorities must approve, or be notified of, WellCare's acquisition of control of the Company's insurance companies and other regulated entities. To obtain these approvals and provide such notices, WellCare, the Company, and certain of their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, will file or have filed acquisition of control and material modification or similar statements, notices or applications, as required by the insurance and healthcare laws and regulations of each applicable jurisdiction or the UAM regulated entities' licenses and contracts.

        The necessary approvals, statements, notices and applications include, among others, (a) pre-acquisition approvals from the NYDFS, with respect to American Progressive Life & Health Insurance Company, and from TDI, with respect to SelectCare of Texas, Inc., SelectCare Health Plans, Inc., and Today's Options of Texas, Inc. and (b) pre-acquisition approvals from TDI in connection with the indirect change in control of certain of the Company's subsidiaries that are licensed as third-party administrators or business entity insurance producers in Texas. WellCare filed acquisition of control and material modification or similar statements, notices or applications with the NYDFS and the TDI on December 20, 2016 and December 21, 2016.

Merger Financing

        The Company and WellCare estimate that the total amount of funds required to complete the merger and the transactions contemplated by merger agreement and to pay the related fees and expenses will be approximately $817,000,000.

        The merger is not conditioned upon the ability of WellCare or Merger Sub to obtain funds to consummate the merger. WellCare and Merger Sub represented in the merger agreement that they will have, as of the effective time and the closing of the merger, access to sufficient funds to pay all

55


Table of Contents

amounts to be paid by WellCare and Merger Sub in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by merger agreement.

Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

        In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that some of the Company's executive officers and directors have interests in the merger, including those described below and as described in "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96, that may be different from your interests as a stockholder and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest. The Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger and making its recommendation that you vote "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement.

    Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Directors' and Officers' Insurance

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the directors and officers of the Company will be entitled to certain ongoing indemnification and coverage under directors' and officers' liability insurance policies following the effective time of the merger. Such indemnification and insurance coverage is further described in "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of WellCare and/or Merger Sub—Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Directors' and Officers' Insurance" on page 84.

    Retention Arrangements

        Erin Page, who holds the title "President, Medicare", has entered into a retention bonus agreement with WellCare, pursuant to which WellCare granted Ms. Page a cash retention bonus (and committed to provide an equity-based award following the Closing) in recognition of the important role that WellCare expects her to play at WellCare and the Company following the merger. For further description, see "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96.

    Common Stock, Company Options and Restricted Shares to be Cashed Out in the Merger

        Shares of UAM common stock owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as shares held by other holders of UAM common stock. Company Options and Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time. See "Treatment of Equity-Based Awards" below for further details.

        The following table sets forth, based on his or her beneficial ownership as of January 5, 2017, the cash proceeds that each of the Company's directors and executive officers would receive at the closing of the merger in respect of the cash-out UAM common stock and equity-based awards. These numbers

    Other Payments and Benefits to the Company's Executive Officers

        For descriptions of the other payments and benefits to the Company's named executive officers that are tied to or based on the merger, including cash severance payments, treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares, health continuation coverage, change-in-control gross-up payments, and retention bonuses, see "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)" beginning on page 96. In addition, Mr. Black's existing employment arrangements provide for enhanced severance in the event of termination of Mr. Black's employment without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control (which would include the merger). Assuming the consummation of the merger and a severance-entitling termination of Mr. Black's employment on January 5, 2017, Mr. Black would be entitled to approximately $671,309 in payments and benefits including (a) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to one and one-half times (1.5x) his base salary, (b) a pro rata bonus payment for calendar year 2017 (5 days), based on 100% of target, and (c) health continuation coverage for 18 months.

Treatment of Equity-Based Awards

    Company Options

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of UAM common stock in respect of such Company Option immediately before the effective time of the merger. The right to receive the foregoing cash amounts with respect to Company Options will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Company Options that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Company Options that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Company Option would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Company Options is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Company Options will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Options owned by members of the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

    Restricted Shares

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, each Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the per share merger consideration. The right to receive the foregoing consideration with respect to Restricted Shares will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Restricted Shares that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the merger occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Restricted Share would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date; provided, that, equity awards granted in 2017 to employees (which shall be in the form of Restricted Shares) will convert into an equivalent cash award based on the value of the per share merger consideration and shall vest and be payable in accordance with the scheduled vesting terms of such awards, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Restricted Shares is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Restricted Shares will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Shares owned by members of the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Restricted Shares

58


Table of Contents

held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

Treatment of Preferred Stock

        Unless the Company has redeemed each share of UAM preferred stock, prior to the effective time, as required by the certificate of designation, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to redeem on the business day immediately following the merger closing date, in whole and not in part, each share of UAM preferred stock that is issued and outstanding as of the effective time in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation. The Company will deliver to the holders of record of UAM preferred stock a conditional redemption notice in accordance with the certificate of designation at least 15 days (and not more than 60 days) before the Company's best estimate of the expected merger closing date. If the merger closing date will be later than initially anticipated, the Company will promptly issue an updated redemption notice that states that the redemption date is set as the first business day after the then-scheduled merger closing date. At the closing of the merger, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to deposit with the paying agent (as required by the certificate of designation), funds sufficient to redeem the shares of UAM preferred stock and will give such paying agent instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares of UAM preferred stock to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender in accordance with the certificate of designation. If the merger is not consummated by April 29, 2017, then each share of UAM preferred stock must be redeemed on such date by the Company for cash in an amount equal to $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.

Conversion of Convertible Notes

        The merger agreement requires the Company to take all necessary actions so that if any of the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the indenture, dated June 27, 2016 (referred to herein as the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Bank Association, as trustee (referred to herein as the "Trustee"), remain outstanding as of the effective time of the merger, the Company will (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, as and to the extent required by the Indenture, including to provide that on and after the effective time, each holder of Convertible Notes will have the right to convert such Convertible Notes into the merger consideration that would be payable to holders of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture governing the conversion of the Convertible Notes (including any applicable increase in the "Conversion Rate" thereunder for conversions made in connection with the merger), and (b) cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee an "Officers' Certificate" and an "Opinion of Counsel" as such terms are defined in the Indenture in connection with such supplemental indenture, as and to the extent required by the Indenture.

Appraisal Rights

        The discussion of the provisions set forth in this section is not a complete summary regarding your appraisal rights under Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (referred to herein as "Section 262"), a copy of which is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. All references in this summary to "stockholder" are to the holder of record of the shares of UAM common stock immediately prior to the effective time as to which appraisal rights are asserted. Stockholders intending to exercise appraisal rights should carefully review Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. Failure to follow any of the statutory procedures precisely may result in a termination or waiver of these rights.

59


Table of Contents

        ANY STOCKHOLDER WHO WISHES TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS OR WHO WISHES TO PRESERVE HIS, HER OR ITS RIGHT TO DO SO SHOULD REVIEW APPENDIX B CAREFULLY AND SHOULD CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS LEGAL ADVISOR, SINCE FAILURE TO TIMELY COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH THEREIN WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS.

        Holders of UAM common stock who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, who properly demand (and do not withdraw or waive) appraisal of their shares, who continuously hold shares through the effective time of the merger, and who otherwise comply with the procedures of Section 262 will be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger under Section 262. In order to exercise and perfect appraisal rights, a holder of record of shares of UAM common stock must follow properly and in a timely manner the steps prescribed in Section 262 and summarized below. Such holders will be entitled to have their shares of UAM common stock appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery (referred to herein as the "Court") and to receive the "fair value" of such shares in cash, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, as determined by the Court, together with interest, if any, to be paid on the amount determined to be the fair value, in lieu of the consideration that such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement.

        The following is a brief summary of Section 262, which sets forth the procedures for dissenting from the merger and demanding and perfecting appraisal rights. Failure to precisely follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 could result in the loss of appraisal rights. Under Section 262, where a merger is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, such as the special meeting, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, the corporation must notify each of its stockholders as of the record date for notice of such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available that such appraisal rights are available and include in each such notice a copy of Section 262. This Proxy Statement constitutes such notice to holders of UAM common stock concerning the availability of appraisal rights under Section 262, and the full text of Section 262 is attached hereto as Appendix B. A stockholder of record wishing to assert appraisal rights must hold the shares of stock on the date a demand for appraisal rights with respect to such shares is made and must continuously hold such shares through the effective time. Accordingly, a stockholder who is the holder of record of shares of UAM common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made, but who thereafter transfers such shares prior to the effective time, will lose any right to appraisal in respect of such shares. Moreover, because of the complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal of shares of UAM common stock, if a stockholder considers exercising such rights, such stockholder should seek the advice of legal counsel.

        Stockholders who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must satisfy all of the conditions of Section 262. A written demand for appraisal of shares must be delivered to the Company before the taking of the vote on the merger at the special meeting. This written demand for appraisal of shares must be in addition to and separate from a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement, or an abstention or failure to vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. If you sign and return a proxy card that does not contain voting instructions, or submit a proxy by telephone or through the Internet that does not contain voting instructions, you will effectively waive your appraisal rights because such shares represented by the proxy will, unless the proxy is revoked, be voted for the adoption of the merger agreement. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing instructions to vote against the adoption of the merger agreement or abstain from voting on the adoption of the merger agreement. Stockholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights must not vote "FOR" the adoption of the merger agreement. Any proxy or vote against the merger in and of itself will not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262.

60


Table of Contents

        A demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record, fully and correctly, and must state that the person intends thereby to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares in connection with the merger. If the shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, the demand must be executed by or for the record owner. If the shares are owned by or for more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand must be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he is acting as agent for the record owner or owners. Beneficial owners of shares of UAM common stock have no right directly to demand appraisal; such demands must be made through the holder of record of such shares. A person having a beneficial interest in UAM common stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker or nominee, must act promptly to cause the holder of record to follow the steps summarized herein and in a timely manner to perfect whatever appraisal rights the beneficial owner may have. A holder of record who holds shares as nominee for several beneficial owners may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares of UAM common stock held for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising such rights with respect to the shares held for other beneficial owners; in such case, the written demand should set forth the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. If the number of shares of UAM common stock is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of the record owner. If UAM common stock is held through a broker who in turn holds UAM common stock through a central securities depository nominee such as Cede & Co., a demand for appraisal of such common stock must be made by or on behalf of the depository nominee and must identify the depository nominee as holder of record.

        A stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights should mail or deliver the required written demand for appraisal to the Company at Universal American Corp., 44 South Broadway, White Plains, New York 10601, Attention: Secretary.

        The demand must reasonably inform the Company of the identity of the holder as well as the holder's intention to demand an appraisal of the "fair value" of the shares held by the holder. A stockholder's failure to make the written demand prior to the taking of the vote on the adoption of the merger agreement at the special meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights. Within 10 days after the effective time of the merger, the Company must provide notice of the effective time to all of the Company's stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and have not voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

        Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger (but not thereafter), any UAM stockholder who has satisfied the requirements of Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Company a statement listing the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. The statement must be mailed within 10 days after a written request therefor has been received by the Company or within 10 days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of UAM common stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, request from the Company the statement described in this paragraph.

        Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger (but not thereafter), either the Company or any stockholder who has complied with Section 262 and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court demanding a determination of the value of the shares of UAM common stock owned by stockholders entitled to appraisal rights. If no such petition is filed within such 120-day period, appraisal rights will be lost for all stockholders who had previously demanded appraisal of their shares. The Company has no obligation or present

61


Table of Contents

intention to file such a petition if demand for appraisal is made, and holders should not assume that the Company will file a petition. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the holders of UAM common stock to initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights in respect of shares of UAM common stock within the time prescribed in Section 262. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of UAM common stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file such a petition.

        Upon the filing of any petition by a stockholder in accordance with Section 262, service of a copy thereof must be made upon the Company. The Company must, within 20 days after such service, file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed, a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom the Company has not reached agreements as to the value of their shares. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares (and who hold stock represented by certificates) to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings and the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to any stockholder that fails to comply with such direction.

        At the hearing on such petition, the Court will determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights thereunder. If immediately before the merger the shares of UAM common stock are listed on a national securities exchange, the Court will dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares of UAM common stock who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (a) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock, (b) the value of aggregate per share merger consideration for such total number of shares of UAM common stock exceeds $1,000,000, or (c) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. After the Court determines the holders of UAM common stock entitled to appraisal, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding, the Court will determine the "fair value" of the shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in the next sentence, interest from the effective time of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5.0% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective time of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the Company may pay to each holder of UAM common stock entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (i) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares of UAM common stock, as determined by the Court and (ii) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time.

        In determining fair value, the Court will take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Supreme Court of Delaware discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered, and that "fair price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Supreme Court of Delaware stated that, in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts that could be ascertained as of the date of the merger that throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Supreme Court of Delaware stated

62


Table of Contents

that such exclusion is a "narrow exclusion that does not encompass known elements of value," but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Supreme Court of Delaware also stated that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered." Stockholders considering seeking appraisal of their shares should note that the fair value of their shares determined under Section 262 could be more, or less than, or equal to, the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger agreement if they did not seek appraisal of their shares. Although the Company believes that the merger consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Court. Moreover, the Company does not anticipate offering more than the merger consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262, the "fair value" of a share of UAM common stock is less than the merger consideration.

        The costs of the appraisal proceeding (which do not include attorneys' fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Court and taxed against the parties as the Court deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application of a dissenting stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of a determination or assessment, each party bears his, her or its own expenses.

        Any stockholder who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the effective time of the merger, be entitled to vote for any purpose the shares subject to the demand or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares, except for dividends or distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date prior to the effective time.

        At any time within 60 days after the effective time of the merger, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party will have the right to withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered in the merger agreement by delivering the Company a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal. After this period, a stockholder may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and receive payment for his, her or its shares as provided in the merger agreement only with the Company's written consent. No appraisal proceeding in the Court will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however, that any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and accept the merger consideration offered pursuant to the merger agreement within 60 days after the effective time of the merger. If the Company does not approve a request to withdraw a demand for appraisal when that approval is required, or, except with respect to any stockholder who withdraws such stockholder's right to appraisal in accordance with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Court does not approve the dismissal of an appraisal proceeding, the stockholder will be entitled to receive only the appraised value determined in any such appraisal proceeding, which value could be more or less than, or equal to, the consideration being offered pursuant to the merger agreement. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the court within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, stockholders' rights to appraisal (if available) will cease and he, she or it will be entitled to receive the cash payment for his, her or its shares pursuant to the merger agreement, as if he, she or it had not demanded appraisal of his, her or its shares. Inasmuch as the Company has no obligation to file such a petition, any stockholder who desires a petition to be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis.

        If you desire to exercise your appraisal rights, you must not vote for the adoption of the merger agreement and you must strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262. Failure by any stockholder to comply fully with the procedures of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of

63


Table of Contents

Delaware (as reproduced in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement) may result in termination of such stockholder's appraisal rights. In view of the complexity of Section 262, stockholders of the Company who may wish to dissent from the merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors. To the extent there are any inconsistencies between the foregoing summary and Section 262, Section 262 will govern.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

        The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (as such terms are defined below in this Proxy Statement) of UAM common stock who exchange their shares for cash in the merger. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (referred to herein as the "Code"), U.S. Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative decisions in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) or to different interpretations, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed here in a material and adverse manner. The following discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to you. This discussion applies only to stockholders who, on the date on which the merger is completed, hold shares of UAM common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The following discussion does not address taxpayers subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as insurance companies, financial institutions, dealers in securities, traders in securities who elect to mark their securities to market, tax-exempt organizations, mutual funds, real estate investment trusts, S corporations, partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and persons holding their shares as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction. In addition, the following discussion may not apply to stockholders who acquired their shares of UAM common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services or through a tax-qualified retirement plan. This discussion does not address the receipt of cash in connection with the cancellation of stock options or any other matters related to equity compensation or benefit plans or the receipt of cash in redemption of shares of UAM preferred stock. The following discussion does not address potential U.S. state, local, estate and gift tax and non-U.S. tax consequences of the merger.

        For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. holder" is a holder of shares of UAM common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

    a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state of the U.S. or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

    a trust if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (b) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

        A "non-U.S. holder" is a holder of shares of UAM common stock, who is not a U.S. holder.

        If shares of UAM common stock are held by a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership (or owner of such partnership) will generally depend upon the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the entity. Partnerships (and other entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that hold shares of UAM common stock and partners (or owners) of such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the merger.

64


Table of Contents

        All stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences, as well as the U.S. state, local, estate and gift tax and non-U.S. tax consequences of the disposition of their shares in the merger.

    U.S. Holders

        For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will be treated as a taxable sale of UAM common stock for cash by each of the Company's stockholders. Accordingly, if you are a U.S. holder, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you generally will be as follows:

    You will recognize a capital gain or loss upon the disposition of your shares of UAM common stock pursuant to the merger.

    The amount of gain or loss you recognize will be measured by the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive in the merger and your adjusted tax basis in the shares of UAM common stock surrendered in the merger. Gain or loss will be determined separately for each block of shares (i.e., shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction).

    The capital gain or loss, if any, will be long-term capital gain or loss with respect to shares of UAM common stock that were held for more than one year at the time of the merger. Net long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. holders generally is subject to preferential rates of tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

    Non-U.S. Holders

        A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain (if any) recognized on the exchange of shares of UAM common stock for cash pursuant to the merger, unless (a) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States, or, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States, (b) the non-U.S. holder is an individual who holds such shares of UAM common stock as a capital asset and is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition (and certain other conditions are satisfied) or (c) UAM is or has been a "United States real property holding corporation" at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the merger and the period during which the non-U.S. holder held the shares of UAM common stock, as the case may be, and certain other conditions are met. We believe that we are not, and have not been during the applicable period, a United States real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, payment of cash proceeds pursuant to the merger made to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, will be reported to the U.S. holders and the Internal Revenue Service. These amounts will be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% if the U.S. holder (a) fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number (referred to herein as a "TIN"), (b) fails to report interest or dividend income in full, (c) fails to certify it is exempt from withholding, or (d) otherwise fails to comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

        The payment of cash proceeds pursuant to the merger made to a non-U.S. holder through the U.S. office of any broker (U.S. or non-U.S.) will be subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless the non-U.S. holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption and the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of cash proceeds pursuant to the merger to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless the

65


Table of Contents

non-U.S. broker has certain types of relationships with the United States (referred to herein as a "U.S. related financial intermediary"). In the case of the payment of proceeds pursuant to the merger to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a U.S. related financial intermediary, the U.S. Treasury regulations require information reporting (but not backup withholding) on the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is not a U.S. person and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from your proceeds under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

        Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors on the application of information reporting and backup withholding in light of their particular circumstances.

        The foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any holder of shares of UAM common stock. The Company urges you to consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any state, local or foreign income and other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares of UAM common stock pursuant to the merger.

    Dissenting Stockholders

        Each holder of UAM common stock who perfects appraisal rights with respect to the merger, as discussed under "The Merger (Proposal 1)—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 59, and who receives cash in respect of their shares of UAM common stock should consult the holder's individual tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the receipt of cash as a result of exercising appraisal rights.

Litigation Related to the Merger

        Since the announcement by the Company and WellCare, on November 17, 2016, that they had entered into the merger agreement, no lawsuits challenging the merger have been filed by purported UAM stockholders.

Payment of Merger Consideration and Surrender of Stock Certificates

        At the effective time of the merger, the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare and each stockholder of record immediately prior to the effective time (other than (a) shares of UAM common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) shares of UAM common stock owned by WellCare or any of its affiliates (including Merger Sub), and (c) shares of UAM common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected (and not withdrawn or waived) their appraisal rights in compliance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will be entitled to receive $10.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of UAM common stock such stockholder holds immediately prior to the effective time. WellCare will designate the paying agent to make the cash payments contemplated by the merger agreement. At the effective time, WellCare will deposit or cause to be deposited with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate merger consideration. The paying agent will deliver to you your merger consideration according to the procedure summarized below.

        No later than three business days following the effective time, the paying agent will mail to each holder of UAM common stock converted into the right to receive the merger consideration a customary letter of transmittal and instructions for surrendering stock certificates or book-entry shares.

66


Table of Contents

        The paying agent will promptly pay you your merger consideration after you have (a) surrendered your stock certificates or book-entry shares to the paying agent together with a properly completed letter of transmittal and any other documents required by the paying agent and (b) provided to the paying agent any other items specified by the letter of transmittal.

        No interest will be paid or will accrue on the per share merger consideration payable upon surrender of the stock certificates or book-entry shares. WellCare, Merger Sub, the surviving corporation and the paying agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under the merger agreement as may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the payment of such consideration under applicable tax laws.

        You will not be entitled to receive the merger consideration until you surrender your stock certificate or certificates (if your shares are certificated) or book-entry shares to the paying agent, together with a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the paying agent. The merger consideration may be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the corresponding stock certificate is registered if (a) the surrendered stock certificate is accompanied by all documents required by WellCare to evidence and effect that transfer and (b) the person requesting such payment pays any applicable transfer taxes or establishes to the satisfaction of WellCare and the paying agent that such transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

        You should not forward your stock certificates to the paying agent without a letter of transmittal, and you should not return your stock certificates with the enclosed proxy.

        The transmittal instructions will tell you what to do if you have lost your stock certificate, or if it has been stolen or destroyed. You will have to provide an affidavit to that fact and, if required by the surviving corporation, post a bond in an amount that the surviving corporation reasonably directs as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it in respect of the stock certificate.

        After the merger, you will no longer have an equity interest in the Company and will not participate in any potential future earnings of the Company.

        None of WellCare, the surviving corporation nor the paying agent will be liable to any holder of stock certificates or book-entry shares for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

        Any portion of the payment fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of stock certificates or book-entry shares one year after the effective time will be delivered by the paying agent to WellCare upon demand, and any former stockholders who have not surrendered their shares in exchange for merger consideration will thereafter look only to WellCare for payment of the merger consideration.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

        This section of the Proxy Statement summarizes the material provisions of the merger agreement, but is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of the merger agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement and incorporated into this Proxy Statement by reference. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the merger agreement and not the summary set forth in this section or any other information contained in this Proxy Statement. The Company urges you to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety.

        The summary of the merger agreement in this Proxy Statement is included to provide you with information regarding some of its material provisions. Factual disclosures about the Company contained in this Proxy Statement or in the Company's public reports filed with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about the Company contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary. The merger agreement contains representations and warranties made by and to the parties thereto as of specific dates. The statements embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of that contract between the parties and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of that contract. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right not to close the merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. Furthermore, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to public disclosures to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by disclosures that were made by each party to the other, which disclosures are not reflected in the merger agreement including information in a disclosure letter that the Company has provided to WellCare and Merger Sub. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this Proxy Statement, may have changed since the date of the merger agreement and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this Proxy Statement. The merger agreement is described in, and included as an appendix to, this Proxy Statement only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions and not to provide any factual information regarding the Company, WellCare, Merger Sub or the Company's respective businesses. The representations and warranties in the merger agreement and the description of them in this document should not be read alone but instead should be read in conjunction with the other information contained in the reports, statements and filings the Company publicly files with the SEC.

General; The Merger

        The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the merger agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. After the completion of the merger, the Company will continue its corporate existence under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the surviving corporation and immediately following the closing of the merger, become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare. If the merger is completed, the UAM common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, and will no longer be publicly traded, and the Company will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC with respect to UAM common stock, in each case, in accordance with applicable law, rule or regulation. The Company will be a privately held corporation and the Company's current stockholders will cease to

68


Table of Contents

have any ownership interest in the Company or rights as the Company's stockholders, with the exception of (a) members of senior management who may be entitled to participate in equity plans of the surviving corporation or its affiliates or (b) as otherwise provided in this Proxy Statement. Therefore, following the completion of the merger, the Company's current stockholders will not participate in any of the Company's future earnings or growth and will not benefit from any appreciation in the value of the Company, if any, including any appreciation in value that could be realized as a result of the acquisition of the Company by WellCare.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

        The closing of the merger will take place at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the fifth business day after the day on which the conditions to closing (see "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Merger" beginning on page 90) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) are satisfied or waived in accordance with the merger agreement or (b) at such other place and time as WellCare and the Company may agree in writing.

        The effective time of the merger will occur upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such later date as the Company and WellCare may agree and specify in the certificate of merger).

Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Directors and Officers

        At the effective time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub will be amended and restated in the form attached to the merger agreement, and as so amended will be the certificate of incorporation of the surviving corporation until further amended as provided therein and by applicable law.

        The bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time, will be the bylaws of the surviving corporation until thereafter amended as provided in the surviving corporation's certificate of incorporation, the surviving corporation's bylaws and applicable law.

        From and after the effective time, (a) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time will be, from and after the effective time, the directors of the surviving corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the surviving corporation's certificate of incorporation, the surviving corporation's bylaws and applicable law, and (b) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time will be, from and after the effective time, the officers of the surviving corporation until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the surviving corporation's certificate of incorporation, the surviving corporation's bylaws and applicable law.

Conversion of Securities

    Common Stock

        At the effective time of the merger:

    each share of UAM common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the excluded shares and dissenting shares, if any) will be converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in cash, without interest and all such shares that have been converted will be cancelled automatically and cease to exist;

69


Table of Contents

    each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the surviving corporation; and

    each share of UAM common stock held in the treasury of the Company, owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or WellCare or any of its affiliates (including Merger Sub) (such shares referred to herein, collectively, as the "excluded shares") immediately prior to the effective time will be cancelled automatically and cease to exist, and no consideration will be paid for such shares.

    Preferred Stock

        Unless, prior to the effective time, the Company has redeemed each share of UAM preferred stock as required by the certificate of designation, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to redeem on the business day immediately following the merger closing date, in whole and not in part, each share of UAM preferred stock that is issued and outstanding as of the effective time in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation. The Company will deliver to the holders of record of UAM preferred stock a conditional redemption notice in accordance with the certificate of designation at least 15 days (and not more than 60 days) before the Company's best estimate of the expected merger closing date. The redemption notice will include, among other things (a) the date of the redemption set as the first business day after the expected merger closing date, (b) that all of the UAM preferred stock are to be redeemed, (c) the redemption price per the certificate of designation, (d) the location to surrender the preferred stock certificates for payment, and (e) that dividends will cease to accumulate after such redemption. If the merger closing date will be later than initially expected, the Company will promptly issue an updated redemption notice that states that the redemption date is set as the first business day after the then-scheduled effective time. At the closing of the merger, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to deposit with the paying agent (as required by the certificate of designation), funds sufficient to redeem the shares of UAM preferred stock and will give such paying agent instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares of UAM preferred stock to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender in accordance with the certificate of designation.

    Outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, (x) each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of UAM common stock in respect of such Company Option immediately before the effective time of the merger and (y) each Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will, at the effective time, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in cash. For a description of vesting and payment mechanics with respect to Company Options and Restricted Shares, see "The Merger Agreement—Payment Procedures—Outstanding Company Option and Restricted Share Payment Procedures" beginning on page 71.

    Convertible Notes

        Following the consummation of the merger, each holder of the Convertible Notes that remain outstanding will have the right to (a) convert its Convertible Notes into the right to receive the per share merger consideration multiplied by the number of shares of UAM common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, which number will reflect an increased conversion rate because the merger will constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" under the terms of the indenture

70


Table of Contents

governing the Convertible Notes (to the extent the conversion occurs "in connection with" the merger), or (b) require that the Company repurchase its Convertible Notes at a repurchase price (payable in cash) equal to 100.000% of the principal amount plus accrued interest (referred to herein as a "Fundamental Change Repurchase"). The offer with respect to the Fundamental Change Repurchase will be made after the effective date of the merger. If notice of conversion of a Convertible Note is received by the conversion agent at or after the effective date of the merger and up to and including the business day immediately prior to the date of the Fundamental Change Repurchase, such conversion will be deemed to be "in connection with" the merger.

Payment Procedures

    Common Stock Payment Procedures

        Not less than 10 business days prior to the effective time, WellCare will select a bank or trust company, satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion, to act as the paying agent in the merger and will enter into a paying agent agreement with paying agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company. WellCare will be responsible for all fees and expenses of paying agent. Immediately prior to or at the effective time, WellCare will deposit or cause to be deposited with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate per share merger consideration payable to holders of shares of UAM common stock (other than holders of excluded shares and dissenting shares).

        No later than three business days following the effective time, the paying agent will mail to each holder of shares of UAM common stock converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) a customary letter of transmittal and instructions for surrendering stock certificates or book-entry shares.

        For information with respect to the conversion of Convertible Notes, see "The Merger—Covenants of Each Party—Convertible Notes" beginning on page 89.

        YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD, AND YOU SHOULD NOT FORWARD YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES TO THE PAYING AGENT WITHOUT A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

    Outstanding Company Option and Restricted Share Payment Procedures

        The right to receive the cash amounts described above with respect to Company Options and Restricted Shares will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, in each case, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Company Option or Restricted Share, as applicable, would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date; provided, that equity awards granted in 2017 to employees (which shall be in the form of Restricted Shares) will convert into an equivalent cash award based on the value of the per share merger consideration and shall vest and be payable in accordance with the scheduled vesting terms of such awards, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, with respect to all Company Options and Restricted Shares (including those awards granted in 2017), if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Company Options or Restricted Shares is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such

71


Table of Contents

term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Company Options or Restricted Shares, as applicable, will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Company Options and Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

    Preferred Stock Payment Procedures

        At the closing of the merger, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to deposit with the paying agent (as defined in the certificate of designation), sufficient funds to redeem the shares of UAM preferred stock and will give such paying agent instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares of UAM preferred stock to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed to be surrendered in accordance with the certificate of designation. Any redemption of UAM preferred stock shall comply in all respects with the certificate of designation.

    General Payment Procedures

        You will not be entitled to receive the merger consideration until you surrender your stock certificate or certificates (if your shares are certificated) or book-entry shares to the paying agent, together with a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the paying agent. The merger consideration may be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the corresponding stock certificate is registered if (a) the surrendered stock certificate is accompanied by all documents required by WellCare to evidence and effect that transfer and (b) the person requesting such payment pays any applicable transfer taxes or establishes to the satisfaction of WellCare and the paying agent that such transfer taxes has been paid or are not applicable.

        No interest will be paid or will accrue on the per share merger consideration payable upon surrender of the stock certificates or book-entry shares. WellCare, Merger Sub, the surviving corporation and the paying agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under the merger agreement as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the payment of such consideration under applicable tax laws. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authorities, those amounts will be treated as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under the merger agreement.

        None of WellCare, the surviving corporation nor the paying agent will be liable to any holder of stock certificates or book-entry shares for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

        The paying agent will invest the payment fund as directed by WellCare, provided, that such investment must be in (a) obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States, (b) in commercial paper obligations of issuers organized under the law of a state of the United States, rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, respectively, or (c) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers' acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10,000,000,000 or in mutual funds investing in such assets. Any such investment will be for the benefit, and at the risk, of WellCare, and any interest or other income resulting from such investment will be for the benefit of WellCare; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon will affect the per share merger consideration payable to former stockholders of the Company, and WellCare will promptly provide, or will cause the surviving corporation to promptly provide, additional funds to the paying agent for the benefit of the former stockholders of the Company in the amount of any such losses to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of WellCare and the surviving corporation in connection with the merger.

Table of Contents

        Any portion of the payment fund that remains unclaimed by holders of stock certificates or book-entry shares one year after the effective time will be delivered by the paying agent to WellCare upon demand, and any former stockholders who have not surrendered their shares in exchange for merger consideration will thereafter look only to WellCare for payment of the merger consideration.

    Payment Procedures in Respect of Dissenting Shares

        Any shares of UAM common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time for which holders thereof have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement or consented in writing and are entitled to demand and have demanded (and not withdrawn or waived) their appraisal rights in respect of such shares in compliance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (referred to herein as "dissenting shares") will not be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration. At the effective time (a) all dissenting shares will be canceled and cease to exist and (b) the holders of dissenting shares will be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

        If any holder of dissenting shares effectively withdraws or loses its appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then such holder's shares (a) will be deemed no longer to be dissenting shares and (b) will be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the effective time into the right to receive the merger consideration upon surrender of the common stock certificates or book-entry shares formerly representing such shares.

        The Company will provide WellCare with prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of UAM common stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other related instrument or notice served on the Company under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as well as the right to participate in and, at WellCare's election and expense, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands for appraisal. The Company will not (or cause or permit any Person on its behalf to) offer to make or make any payment or settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise, or otherwise negotiate with respect to any such demands for appraisal without the prior written consent of WellCare.

Representations and Warranties

        The representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement were made only for the purpose of the merger agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties to the merger agreement and as of specific dates, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the merger agreement, and the merger agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties thereto any rights or remedies thereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth therein, except as expressly set forth therein. Such representations, warranties and covenants may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the merger agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date, and may be subject to important limitations and qualifications (including exceptions thereto set forth in disclosure schedules agreed to by the contracting parties) and may therefore not be complete. The representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement may also be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those generally applicable to public disclosures to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, WellCare, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the merger agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in WellCare's or the Company's public disclosures.

    on terms and conditions more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders than those contemplated by the merger agreement; and

    is reasonably likely to be consummated.

80


Table of Contents

        An "Intervening Event" is defined in the merger agreement to mean any material event, change, effect, development or occurrence occurring or arising after the date of the merger agreement that:

    was not known, or reasonably foreseeable based on facts known as at the date of the merger agreement, to the Board of Directors as of or prior to the date of the merger agreement (or, if known, the consequences of which were not known, or reasonably foreseeable based on facts known as at the date of the merger agreement, to the Board of Directors as of the date of the merger agreement); and

    does not relate to or involve a Takeover Proposal.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the receipt of a Takeover Proposal after entry into the merger agreement that was not the result of a breach of the Company's non-solicitation obligations as set forth above, if the Board of Directors determines, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and the failure to take any such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Company may (a) furnish the person making such Takeover Proposal with access and information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries (including through a physical or electronic data room) pursuant to (i) a confidentiality agreement on terms that are not less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreement between WellCare and the Company, and must include customary standstill provisions (except that such provisions may include an exception to the extent necessary to allow such person to make a confidential proposal to the Board of Directors) or (ii) an existing confidentiality agreement that predates the merger agreement (such agreement referred to herein as an "acceptable confidentiality agreement"), provided, that all such written material non-public information has previously been provided to WellCare substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person (and in any event within 24 hours), and (b) participate in discussions, communications and negotiations regarding such Takeover Proposal.

        Within one business day, the Company is required to advise WellCare in writing of the receipt of (a) any Takeover Proposal or (b) any inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal. The Company is required to disclose to WellCare the material terms, conditions and status of any such Takeover Proposal and provide copies of any such written inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information, including the identity of the person or group of persons making such inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information (provided, that the Company will not be required to disclose such person's identity if such disclosure is prohibited by the terms of a confidentiality agreement that predates the merger agreement). The Company is required to notify WellCare within one business day of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information.

        Except as described below, the Board of Directors may not, directly or indirectly, (a) withdraw, modify or amend the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in any manner adverse to WellCare, (b) approve, endorse or recommend a Takeover Proposal, (c) approve, recommend or allow the Company to enter into a contract relating to a Takeover Proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement), (d) fail to include the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in the Proxy Statement or (e) formally resolve to effect or publicly announce a determination or resolution to effect any of the foregoing.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the merger agreement provides that the Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of UAM common stock, in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Board of Directors after the date of

81


Table of Contents

the merger agreement, terminate the merger agreement to enter into a contract with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if:

    such Superior Proposal did not result from a material breach of the Company's non-solicitation obligations;

    the Company provides prior written notice to WellCare that it is prepared to terminate the merger agreement to enter into a contract in respect of such Superior Proposal, which notice must include a summary of the material terms and copies of all material documents relating to such Superior Proposal and the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal;

    during the five-business day period following such notice, the Company has negotiated in good faith (to the extent WellCare desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and any ancillary agreements with the intent of causing such Superior Proposal to no longer be a Superior Proposal; and

    WellCare does not make, within five business days after the receipt of such notice, a binding, written and complete proposal that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, causes the Superior Proposal to no longer be a Superior Proposal (and any amendment, revision, change or supplement to the financial terms or other material terms or conditions of the Superior Proposal will require a new written notification and a new negotiation period of three business days instead of five business days).

        In addition, the merger agreement provides that, at any time prior to the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of UAM common stock, the Board of Directors may withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in a manner adverse to WellCare, if, following the occurrence of an Intervening Event:

    the Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel that, in light of such Intervening Event, its failure to withdraw, modify or amend the recommendation of the Board of Directors to stockholders in respect of the merger would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and

    the Board of Directors has first (x) provided prior written notice to WellCare that the Board of Directors is prepared to withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in a manner adverse to WellCare, which notice will include a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event and (y) complied, as applicable, with (a) the five-business day notice requirement to negotiate with WellCare and (b) the obligation that WellCare make a binding, written and complete proposal during that period (subject to the right to require a new written notification and a new notification period of three business days instead of five business days in certain circumstances) as described above in respect of a Superior Proposal as if such requirements related to an Intervening Event instead of a Superior Proposal.

        None of the above will prohibit the Company from complying with Rules 14a-9, 14d-9, 14e-2 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a customary "stop, look and listen" statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or making any required disclosure to the Company's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of the Directors, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable law.

        Any violation of the Company's non-solicitation obligations by any subsidiary of the Company or their or the Company's representatives will constitute a breach of the Company's obligations.

    Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meeting

        The merger agreement requires the Company to call and hold a meeting of the holders of UAM common stock as promptly as practicable following the date of the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of the holders of UAM common stock voting on the adoption of the merger agreement.

        The Company may postpone or adjourn the meeting of the Company's stockholders (a) with the consent of WellCare, (b) for the absence of a quorum, (c) to allow reasonable additional time (not to exceed 30 days) for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary or advisable under applicable laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company's stockholders prior to the meeting of the Company's stockholders, (d) to solicit additional proxies if the Company reasonably believes it may be necessary to obtain the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock as of the record date for the meeting of the Company's stockholders, or (e) in connection with its consideration of a Takeover Proposal, subject to the Company's non-solicitation obligations; provided, that in the case of such postponement or adjournment of the meeting of the Company's stockholders, the Company will cause the meeting of the Company's stockholders to be duly called and held as promptly as reasonably practicable after the originally scheduled time.

    Access to Information

        WellCare and its representatives will be provided with access at reasonable times, upon prior notice, to the officers, employees, properties, books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as such information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries as WellCare or its representatives reasonably request. However, nothing in the merger agreement requires the Company or any of its subsidiaries to disclose information to the extent the Company determines that it would (a) materially disrupt or impair the Company's business or operations, (b) violate applicable law or (c) cause a material risk of disclosure of any information of any trade secrets of third parties. There is no requirement for the Company or its subsidiaries to disclose information if it would result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or similar privilege or violate any pre-existing confidentiality obligation (provided, it uses reasonable best efforts to permit such disclosure without loss of privilege or breach of the applicable agreement).

    Certain Litigation

        The Company will promptly notify WellCare of any litigation, or threatened litigation that the Company has knowledge of, against the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their directors, officers or employees, in each case, arising out of or in connection with the merger (such litigation referred to herein as "shareholder litigation"). The Company will give WellCare the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding and the opportunity to participate in but not control the defense settlement or prospection of any such shareholder litigation (at WellCare's expense).

        The Company will obtain the prior written consent of WellCare (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement, understanding or other agreement relating to such shareholder litigation; provided, that the Company may enter into any settlement, understanding or other agreement without the consent of WellCare if the terms thereof are in the aggregate no less favorable than those set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company.

        The parties will cooperate in the defense of any shareholder litigation and provide information and certain assistance, at their own expense, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Covenants of WellCare and/or Merger Sub

    Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

        WellCare must not, and must not permit its subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) enter into, or permit any subsidiary to enter into, any definitive agreement to acquire, by merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or assets or otherwise, or other managed care relationship, any person, if entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or assets or otherwise would reasonably be expected to (a) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any required consents or the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (b) materially increase the risk of any governmental authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the merger, (c) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise or (d) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the merger.

    Employees; Benefit Plans

        For a period of one year following the merger closing date, WellCare will, or will cause the surviving corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries to, provide to each individual who, immediately prior to the merger, is an employee of the Company and who continues in such capacity immediately following the merger (each such employee is referred to herein as a "continuing employee") with (a) salary, hourly wage rate, and short-term cash bonus or commission opportunity that are no less favorable and (b) other material benefits (excluding equity-based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits, retiree medical benefits or long-term incentive plan benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company immediately prior to the merger. WellCare will consider continuing employees for grants, during the portion of the one-year period following the closing of the merger commencing in 2018, of equity-based awards under WellCare's equity compensation plans as part of its ordinary course determinations with respect to grants of equity-based awards to its employees generally.

        WellCare will, or will cause the surviving corporation to, honor all benefit plans of the Company (including all severance, paid time-off, change of control and similar plans and agreements) in respect of continuing employees in accordance with their terms, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted. Subject to the other obligations of WellCare and the surviving corporation, as set forth in the merger agreement, following the effective time, WellCare and the surviving corporation are not required to maintain any benefit plan or agreement.

        To the extent not already paid prior to the closing of the merger, WellCare agrees to cause continuing employees to be paid bonuses in respect of calendar year 2016 by the surviving corporation or the applicable subsidiary, in an amount determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (but not to exceed 100% of the target 2016 bonus applicable to each continuing employee).

        In respect of calendar year 2017, WellCare, agrees to cause the surviving corporation or the applicable subsidiary, to pay bonuses to continuing employees, based on the achievement of performance targets determined by the Company, in good faith, and in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, within 60 days of the date of the merger agreement; provided, however:

    WellCare will determine actual achievement of the 2017 annual bonus targets with respect to each continuing employee (such determinations by WellCare will be made reasonably and in good faith based on actual results, after giving appropriate effect to the merger and actions taken by WellCare in connection therewith that affect the surviving corporation and its subsidiaries);

84


Table of Contents

    each continuing employee who remains employed with WellCare and its affiliates through December 31, 2017, will be paid an annual bonus for 2017 of no less than half of such continuing employee's target 2017 bonus (such bonus referred to herein as the "minimum guaranteed 2017 annual bonus") which amounts shall be paid at the same time or times that WellCare pays annual bonuses in respect of calendar year 2017 to its similarly situated employees;

    any continuing employee whose employment is terminated without "cause" or who voluntarily resigns with "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement) during the 60-day period following the merger closing date, will be entitled to receive a prorated portion of 100% of the target 2017 annual bonus applicable to such continuing employee based on the portion of the 2017 calendar year the continuing employee was employed, payable promptly following the date of such termination, but subject to such continuing employee's timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims (in the form set forth on the disclosure letter); and

    any continuing employee who is terminated without "cause" or who voluntarily resigns with "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement) after the 60-day period following the effective time of the merger, but prior to January 1, 2018, will be entitled to receive a 2017 annual bonus equal to the greater of (x) such employee's minimum guaranteed 2017 annual bonus and (y) a prorated portion of the actual 2017 annual bonus applicable to such continuing employee based on the achievement of performance targets determined by the Company based on the portion of the 2017 calendar year the continuing employee was employed, such 2017 annual bonus to be payable promptly following the date of such termination, but subject to such employee's timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims (in the form set forth on the disclosure letter).

        The merger agreement provides that WellCare shall, and shall cause the surviving corporation to, honor the Company's retention program providing for the payment of retention bonuses to certain continuing employees in connection with the merger on the terms set forth in the disclosure letter.

        Each continuing employee will receive full credit for such employee's years of service with the Company prior to the merger, for the purposes of determining: (a) such employee's eligibility to participate in each employee benefit plan of WellCare or the surviving corporation providing benefits to continuing employees (each such benefit plan is referred to herein as a "new plan"); (b) vesting; and (c) with respect to vacation, such employee's eligibility for paid time off or severance compensation. The foregoing does not apply with respect to any equity-based compensation plan or long-term incentive plans, or to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of benefits or with respect to any retiree welfare plan or defined benefit pension plan. WellCare will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that: (i) each continuing employee is immediately eligible to participate in each new plan to the extent such employee's waiting time was satisfied under the corresponding Company benefit plan before the effective time; (ii) all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each new plan that is a health plan will be waived or satisfied to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous old plan as of the effective time; and (iii) for the plan year in which the merger occurs all eligible expenses incurred by each continuing employee and his/her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the analogous old plan ending on the date such continuing employee's participation in the corresponding new plan begins will be taken into account under such new plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such continuing employee and his/her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such new plan.

        Continuing employees will be allowed to use any accrued but unused paid time off in accordance with the terms of applicable pre-merger paid time off policies. If any continuing employee's

85


Table of Contents

employment is terminated during the one-year period after the merger, such employee will be paid for any accrued but unused paid time off as of the effective time of the merger reduced by any paid time off used between the effective time of the merger and the date of termination in accordance with applicable pre-merger paid time off policy.

        The Company will use reasonable best efforts to provide to WellCare and its representatives access at all reasonable times to the continuing employees and the employment and personnel records and data relating to the continuing employees to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

        Provided that WellCare provides the Company written notice at least five days prior to the merger closing date (but in no event later than the day immediately preceding the merger closing date), the Company will take all actions necessary to terminate all benefit plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, and the Company will provide WellCare with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been properly terminated (effective as of the day immediately preceding the merger closing date). The form of such termination documents will be subject to review of WellCare.

        As soon as administratively practicable following the merger closing date, WellCare will take all actions necessary to permit continuing employees who have an account balance under a 401(k) plan to rollover (whether by direct or indirect rollover, as selected by such continuing employees) his or her "eligible rollover distribution" in the form of cash, a promissory note (in the case of loans) or any combination thereof from the Seller 401(k) plan to a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan maintained by WellCare or its affiliate for the benefit of the continuing employees.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the merger agreement will:

    confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, WellCare, the surviving corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (including any continuing employee), any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment or any term or condition of employment for any specified period, or restrict the ability of WellCare, the surviving corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any person;

    be construed to establish, amend, fund or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement;

    limit the ability of WellCare, the surviving corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or

    create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any person (including any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) other than the parties to the merger agreement.

    Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Directors' and Officers' Insurance

        WellCare will, and will cause the surviving corporation to, cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation in effect on the date of the merger agreement in favor of any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the fiduciaries of any Company benefit plans (each such person referred to herein as an "indemnified person") in any governing document of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other contracts between such indemnified party and the Company or any of its subsidiaries to survive the merger and to continue to be in full force and effect for six years after the effective time, or longer if required under the applicable agreement. WellCare will, and will cause the surviving corporation to, indemnify all indemnified parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law with respect to such indemnified parties' service for the Company, whether asserted or claimed at or after or occurring before the

86


Table of Contents

effective time of the merger (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of the merger agreement and the consummation of the merger).

        Prior to the effective time, the Company will purchase a "tail" directors' and officers' liability insurance policy with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous than the Company's current policies (if the cost thereof does not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for directors' and officers' liability insurance). If the Company is unable to so acquire such a "tail" policy then WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to maintain in effect for at least six years after the effective time the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company or policies with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the effective time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement) so long as WellCare or the surviving corporation are not required to pay an aggregate premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance before the date of the merger agreement (such 300% amount is referred to herein as the "maximum premium"). If the Company is unable to obtain the "tail" policy and WellCare or the surviving corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the maximum premium, WellCare will cause the surviving corporation to instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the maximum premium.

        WellCare and the surviving corporation are the indemnitors of first resort (with the surviving corporation being the indemnitor of first resort as between the two).

    Obligations of Merger Sub

        WellCare will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under the merger agreement and to consummate the merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement.

    Standstill

        Until the closing of the merger agreement, WellCare will comply with customary "standstill" restrictions, whereby WellCare will not, and will not permit any person acting on its behalf to, acquire any securities of the Company or any derivate contracts or derivative securities that give WellCare or any person acting on its behalf economic or voting equivalent ownership of securities of the Company.

Covenants of Each Party

    Consents; Filings; Further Action

        The merger agreement requires each of the parties to use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly (a) obtain any consents, approvals or other authorizations, and make any filings and notifications required in connection with merger agreement, (b) make any other submissions either required or deemed appropriate by either WellCare or the Company, in connection with the merger under the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the NYSE rules and regulations, CMS, state insurance laws and any other applicable law, (c) take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to (i) cause the expiration of the applicable waiting periods, or (ii) obtain receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, as applicable (including the required Company consents), under such laws, rules and regulations as soon as practicable, and (d) defend any legal actions challenging the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order or any other order vacated or reversed.

    Efforts to Obtain Regulatory Approvals

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement and in accordance with applicable law, each of the parties must, and must cause its subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to ensure that the pre-closing conditions applicable to such party are satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as promptly as practicable in accordance with its terms.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to WellCare's obligations to pay filing fees to governmental authorities or certain other related regulatory expenses), WellCare shall not be obligated to pay any amounts (other than de minimis amounts), or provide other consideration (other than de minimis consideration), to any third-party in connection with obtaining or seeking to obtain any consents or approvals a third-party. In addition to the parties' obligations described above, WellCare has agreed to promptly take any and all action necessary (including with respect to its subsidiaries) to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any order that would have the effect of preventing or delaying the closing of the merger and to resolve the objections, any governmental authority asserts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any law reasonably expected to be asserted by any governmental authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement so as to enable the closing of the merger to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including

    restructuring, selling, divesting or disposing of assets or businesses of WellCare or any of its subsidiaries (including, after the effective time of the merger, the surviving corporation or any of its subsidiaries), or committing to take such actions, or

    otherwise taking or committing to take actions that would limit WellCare's or its subsidiaries' (including, after the effective time of the merger, the surviving corporation's or any of its subsidiaries') freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of their respective assets or businesses,

except that WellCare is not required to take any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its and its subsidiaries' business, taken as a whole.

    Rule 16b-3

        Prior to the effective time of the merger, the Company may take such further actions, if any, as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) pursuant to the merger by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

    Notification of Certain Matters

        The parties will promptly notify each other of the following:

    the occurrence of any event known to it that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate:

    cause any closing condition to be unsatisfied in any material respect prior to the effective time of the merger, or

    cause any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any governmental authority or third-party necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement to not be obtained by termination date of the merger agreement; or

    any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or WellCare, threatened that questions or challenges the validity of the merger agreement or the ability of any party to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (except that the delivery of any such notice will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to the party receiving such notice nor will the party giving such notice be prejudiced with respect to any such matters solely by virtue of having given such notice).

        Subject to applicable law, until the effective time, the Company will provide WellCare with copies of all material written notices the Company or its subsidiaries receives from any governmental authority, to the extent primarily related to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and from CMS or the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (other than immaterial, ordinary course communications).

    Convertible Notes

        The merger agreement requires the Company to take all necessary actions so that, if any of the Convertible Notes remain outstanding as of the effective time of the merger, the Company will (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, as and to the extent required by the Indenture, including to provide that on and after the effective time of the merger, each holder of Convertible Notes will have the right to convert such Convertible Notes into the merger consideration in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture governing the conversion of the Convertible Notes (including any applicable increase in the "Conversion Rate" thereunder for conversions made in connection with the merger), and (b) cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee an "Officers' Certificate" and an "Opinion of Counsel" as such terms are defined in the Indenture in connection with such supplemental indenture, as and to the extent required by the Indenture.

        Prior to the effective time of the merger, the Company will give any notices and take all other actions that may be required under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Indenture or applicable law, including giving repurchase or conversion notices. Such notices are subject to WellCare's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company will provide copies of any such notice to WellCare at least three business days prior to delivery. The Company will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective representatives to cooperate with WellCare in connection with the fulfillment of the Company's obligations under the terms of the Convertible Notes and the Indenture at any time after the date of the merger agreement as reasonably requested by WellCare.

Upon WellCare's request, the Company and its subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to consult with WellCare from time to time on strategic and material business matters, to the extent such consultation is not in violation of applicable law, and provided that the foregoing sentence will not be taken into account in determining whether the closing condition with respect to Company Material Adverse Effect has been satisfied.

    by mutual written consent of both WellCare and the Company;

    by either WellCare or the Company if:

    the merger is not consummated by June 19, 2017, except that such right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to WellCare or the Company if a breach of the merger agreement by WellCare or the Company, respectively, was the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure to consummate the merger by such date; provided, that such date may be extended until November 17, 2017, if on June 19, 2017 all conditions to the closing of the merger have been satisfied or waived (or, in the case of conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the merger, are capable of being so satisfied) other than the antitrust and regulatory approval conditions or absence of any legal restraint that enjoins or prohibits consummation of the merger relating to antitrust or regulatory approvals or arises from legal actions initiated by a governmental authority;

    the merger agreement has been submitted to the holders of UAM common stock for adoption at a duly convened meeting of the Company's stockholders (or adjournment or postponement thereof) and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock entitled to vote in respect of the merger is not obtained; or

    any law or order permanently enjoins or otherwise prohibits consummation of the merger and (in the case of an order) such order has become final and non-appealable.

    if (a) the Board of Directors approves, endorses or recommends to the holders of UAM common stock a Superior Proposal, (b) a tender offer or exchange offer for any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company is commenced before the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock entitled to vote in respect of the merger is obtained and the Board of Directors fails to recommend in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders within 10 business days, or (c) the Board of Directors fails to publicly reaffirm the Board of Directors' recommendation or to recommend against any Takeover Proposal within 10 business days after receipt of any written request to do so from WellCare following the public announcement of any Takeover Proposal (provided, that WellCare will only make such request once with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any material amendment thereto);

    if there is an intentional and material breach of the Company's non-solicitation obligations; or

    if the Company breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the merger agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of a closing condition and cannot be cured by June 19, 2017 (or November 17, 2017, if the outside date

92


Table of Contents

        is extended, as described above), or, if curable, has not been cured by the Company within 30 business days after the Company's receipt of written notice of such breach from WellCare; provided, that WellCare will not have the right to terminate the merger agreement for this reason if WellCare or Merger Sub is then in breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements and such breach would result in its closing conditions not being satisfied.

    by the Company if:

    prior to the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of UAM common stock, the Company determines a Takeover Proposal to be a Superior Proposal and terminates the merger agreement to enter into a contract with respect to such Superior Proposal after complying with the non-solicitation obligations under the merger agreement (See "The Merger Agreement—Covenants of the Company—Solicitation of Takeover Proposals" beginning on page 79) and paid all amounts due to WellCare and Merger Sub under the merger agreement (See "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies—Fees Payable to WellCare" beginning on page 94); or

    a breach by WellCare or Merger Sub of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under the merger agreement has occurred, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition to closing and such breach cannot be cured by June 19, 2017 (or November 17, 2017, if the outside date is extended, as described above), or if curable, is not cured by WellCare or Merger Sub within 30 business days after WellCare's receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; provided, that the Company will not have the right to terminate the merger agreement for this reason if the Company is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements and such breach would result in its closing conditions not being satisfied.

Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies

    Effect of Termination; General Expense Provisions

        If the merger agreement is terminated for any reason pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the merger agreement will become void and of no further force or effect with no liability on the part of any party thereto (or any stockholder or representative of such party), except as described under "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies" in the paragraphs below.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any termination of the merger agreement that results from the willful and material (a) failure of any party to perform its covenants, obligations or agreements or (b) breach by any party of its representations or warranties contained in the merger agreement, then such party will be liable for any damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such failure or breach (which, in the case of damages sought by the Company, will take into account the consideration that would have otherwise been payable to the holders of UAM common stock or UAM preferred stock, as applicable, pursuant to the merger agreement and the loss of market value or stock price of the Company).

        Among others, the provisions of regarding access to information and confidentiality, fees and expenses, and effect of termination following termination, will survive any termination of the merger agreement.

        The merger agreement provides that each party is to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby except (a) as described in "The Merger Agreement—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Remedies—Fees Payable to WellCare" beginning on page 94 of this Proxy Statement, (b) WellCare is obligated to pay all charges

and expenses of the paying agent, and (c) WellCare is obligated to pay all filing fees incurred in connection with the HSR Act filings.

    Fees Payable to WellCare

        If any of the following events occurs, the Company will be obligated to pay WellCare, in the aggregate, a termination fee of $18,000,000 (plus an expense reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $2,000,000):

    If the merger agreement is terminated by the Company to enter into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal. In such case, payment is due before or concurrently with such termination.

    If the merger agreement is terminated by WellCare because: (a) of the withdrawal, modification or amendment of the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in any manner adverse to WellCare; (b) (i) the Board of Directors approves, endorses or recommends to the holders of UAM common stock a Superior Proposal, (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer for any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company is commenced before the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock entitled to vote in respect of the merger is obtained and the Board of Directors fails to recommend in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders within 10 business days, or (iii) the Board of Directors fails to publicly reaffirm the Board of Directors' recommendation or to recommend against any Takeover Proposal within 10 business days after receipt of any written request to do so from WellCare following the public announcement of any Takeover Proposal (provided, that WellCare will only make such request once with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any material amendment thereto); or (c) the Board of Directors intentionally and materially breaches its obligations under the merger agreement to not, directly or indirectly (i) withdraw, modify or amend the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in any manner adverse to WellCare, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend a Takeover Proposal, (iii) approve, recommend or allow the Company to enter into a contract relating to a Takeover Proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement), (iv) fail to include the Board of Directors' recommendation to the holders of UAM common stock in respect of the merger in the Proxy Statement or (v) formally resolve to effect or publicly announce a determination or resolution to effect any of the foregoing. In such case, payment is due within five business days of such termination.

    If:

    the merger agreement is terminated by either WellCare or the Company because the merger was not consummated by June 19, 2017 (or November 17, 2017, if the outside date is extended, as described above);

    a third-party has made a Takeover Proposal (for this purpose, references to the figure "15%" in the description of "Takeover Proposal" above are replaced by "more than 50%") after the date of the merger agreement and prior to the special meeting to vote with respect to the merger, which has not been withdrawn, terminated or expired prior to such special meeting; and

    within 12 months following such termination of the merger agreement, the Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement for, or consummates, a Takeover Proposal

      In such case, payment is due within five business days following the date the Company enters into or consummates such Takeover Proposal.

        If the Company fails to pay the termination fee and expense reimbursement as provided above, interest accrues for the period commencing on the date such fee became past due.

94


Table of Contents

        If the termination fee and the expense reimbursement are required to be paid, then, except in the case of a willful and material breach by the Company of its non-solicitation obligations or actual or intentional fraud with respect to making the representations and warranties in the merger agreement, WellCare's right to receive payment of the termination fee and the expense reimbursement as described above is the sole and exclusive remedy available to WellCare, Merger Sub and their respective affiliates for (a) the damages suffered as a result of the failure of the merger to be consummated and (b) any other damages suffered as a result of or in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; provided that the foregoing does not impair the right of WellCare to obtain injunctive relief prior to the termination of the merger agreement. In no event will the Company be required to pay the termination fee and the expense reimbursement on more than one occasion.

Specific Performance

        Under certain circumstances, a party to the merger agreement may seek specific performance to require the other party to complete the merger. Each party will be entitled to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the merger agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the merger agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each party to the merger agreement agreed that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that either the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Amendment; Extension; Waiver

        The merger agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before the effective time, whether before or after obtaining the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of UAM common stock in respect of the merger, so long as no amendment that requires further stockholder approval under applicable law after approval hereof by the holders of UAM common stock will be made without such further approval and such amendment has been duly approved by the board of directors of each of Merger Sub, WellCare and the Company.

        At any time before the effective time, WellCare and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement or (c) subject to applicable law, waive compliance with any covenants or conditions contained in the merger agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Third-party Beneficiaries

        The merger agreement expressly disclaims any third-party beneficiary rights subject to (a) the rights of the indemnified persons to enforce their rights to indemnification, exculpation, advancement of expenses and insurance coverage as provided in the merger agreement, (b) the right of the holders of UAM common stock, Company Options and Restricted Shares to payment of the per share merger consideration, (c) the right of holders of UAM preferred stock in the Company to payment in accordance with the certificate of designation, and (d) the right of the Company on behalf of the holders of UAM common stock and UAM preferred stock, Company Options and Restricted Shares to pursue and collect damages (including claims for damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the transaction to the Company's stockholders, including the loss of market value or stock price of the Company) with respect to any breach of the merger agreement by WellCare or Merger Sub.

Governing Law

        The merger agreement is governed by Delaware law.

In addition to the above assumptions, the costs of providing continued health benefits are based on estimates. Any changes in these assumptions or estimates would affect the amounts shown in the above table.

(1)
Amounts represent the cash severance payable pursuant to the named executive officers' employment agreements, which include (a) a pro rata bonus payment for calendar year 2017 (5 days), based on 100% of target, for all the named executive officers and (b) for each of Messrs. Barasch and Carpenter, a calendar year 2016 bonus payment, based on 100% of target, as provided below. Amounts exclude 2016 bonus payments to Messrs. Thackery ($210,000) and Wolk ($325,125) and Ms. Page ($367,200), which were paid in December 2016 at 100% of target following approval by the Board of Directors. All severance amounts are based on base salary as of January 5, 2017. These amounts are "double-trigger" payments, as they are payable only upon the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination of the named executive officer without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason. The cash severance and bonus for the named executive officers will be paid in a lump sum cash payment.

Specifically, the cash severance each named executive officer would be entitled to receive is comprised of the following: (a) For Mr. Barasch, in the event of termination of employment without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, (i) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to four times (4x) his base salary ($4,279,628), plus the lesser of (x) his bonus for the fiscal year prior to termination or (y) his base salary ($1,069,907, for total of $5,349,535), (ii) any unpaid bonus for 2016, payable at 100% of target ($1,604,861), and (iii) a pro rata bonus for 2017 (5 days) payable at 100% of target ($21,984); (b) For Mr. Thackery, in the event of termination of employment without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, (i) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to one and one-half times (1.5x) his base salary ($525,000) and (ii) a pro rata bonus for 2017 payable at 100% of target ($2,877); (c) For Mr. Carpenter, in the event of termination of employment without cause or for good reason, (i) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to two times (2x) his base salary ($987,606) and (ii) (A) any unpaid bonus for 2016 payable at 100% of target ($370,352) and (B) a pro rata bonus for 2017 (5 days) payable at 100% of target ($5,073); (d) For Ms. Page, in the event of termination of employment without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, (i) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to two times (2x) her base salary ($918,000) and (ii) a pro rata bonus for 2017 (5 days) payable at 100% of target ($5,030); and (e) for Mr. Wolk, in the event of termination of employment without cause or for good reason within 12 months

96


Table of Contents

    following a change in control, (i) a cash lump sum severance payment equal to one and one-half times (1.5x) his base salary ($650,250) and (ii) a pro rata bonus for 2017 (5 days) payable at 100% of target ($4,454).

(2)
Amounts represent value of unvested equity awards. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, (x) each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of UAM common stock in respect of such Company Option immediately before the effective time of the merger and (y) each Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the per share merger consideration. The right to receive the foregoing cash amounts with respect to Company Options and Restricted Shares will vest and be payable (a) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are vested as of the effective time of the merger in accordance with their terms, at the effective time of the merger and (b) with respect to Company Options or Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, in each case, subject to the applicable holder's continued employment through the applicable vesting date, on the earlier of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the date that the effective time occurs (or the next payroll date following such anniversary) and (ii) the next payroll date following the date on which such Company Option or Restricted Share, as applicable, would have otherwise vested in accordance with its terms, and in all cases, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date; provided, that, equity awards granted in 2017 to employees (which shall be in the form of Restricted Shares) will convert into an equivalent cash award based on the value of the per share merger consideration and shall vest and be payable in accordance with the scheduled vesting terms of such awards, without any interest for the period from the effective time of the merger until such date. In addition, with respect to all Company Options and Restricted Shares (including those awards granted in 2017), if the employment with WellCare (or any of its affiliates) of a holder of Company Options or Restricted Shares is, prior to the applicable payment date, terminated by WellCare (or any of its affiliates) for any reason other than "cause" or by the holder for "good reason" (in each case, as such term is defined in the merger agreement), the payment in respect of the Company Options or Restricted Shares, as applicable, will be accelerated to the next practicable payroll date after the date of termination. Company Options and Restricted Shares owned by members of management and the Board of Directors will be treated the same as outstanding Company Options and Restricted Shares held by other employees, except that any unvested awards owned by members of the Board of Directors will accelerate and vest at the effective time.

The following table quantifies with respect to Company Options and Restricted Shares that are not vested in accordance with their terms at the effective time of the merger, the expected equity-based award cash payments (which are single-trigger payments, subject to the terms specified above) for each named executive officer:

Represents health continuation coverage for each of the executives (36 months for Mr. Barasch; 18 months for Mr. Thackery, Ms. Page and Mr. Wolk; and 12 months for Mr. Carpenter). These amounts are "double-trigger" payments as they are payable only upon the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination of the named executive officer without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason.

(4)
Only Mr. Barasch is contractually eligible for a change-in-control gross-up payment pursuant to his employment agreement.

(5)
Represents a retention bonus, payable by WellCare pursuant to a Retention Bonus Agreement entered into between Ms. Page and WellCare in connection with the merger. Such retention bonus shall be payable in two equal lump sum installments, with 50% payable on the one-year anniversary of the date on which the merger closing occurs and 50% payable on the two-year anniversary of the date on which the merger closing occurs,

97


Table of Contents

    subject to acceleration upon a termination of the named executive officer without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason. Such payments are "single-trigger" payments as they are not payable solely as a result of the consummation of the merger, but are not otherwise conditioned on a termination without cause or for good reason (although they would be forfeited on termination for cause or a voluntary resignation without good reason).

    Mr. Carpenter may be eligible to receive a retention bonus from the $2,000,000 retention pool established for employees; however, individual retention bonus amounts have not yet been determined. This would be a "single-trigger" payment as it is not payable solely as a result of the consummation of the merger, but is not conditioned on a termination without cause or for good reason (although it would be forfeited on termination for cause or a voluntary resignation without good reason).

(6)
Mr. Waegelein retired from the Company effective May 31, 2015. Upon retirement, Mr. Waegelein received a cash severance payment of $833,423 and acceleration of any unvested equity awards. Mr. Waegelein will not be entitled to receive any incremental payments or benefits in connection with the consummation of the merger, either alone or in connection with any other event.

        Each named executive officer is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants under his or her employment agreement; however, such covenants do not apply for a termination of employment that occurs within 12 months following a change-in-control. Ms. Page's Retention Bonus Agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation covenants applicable during her employment and for one year thereafter.

Vote Required and Board of Directors Recommendation.

        Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act and Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act require that the Company seek an advisory (non-binding) vote from its stockholders to approve certain "golden parachute" compensation that its "named executive officers" will receive from the Company in connection with the merger. Approval requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat. Accordingly, the Company is asking you to approve the following resolution:

        "RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the agreements or understandings with and items of compensation payable to the named executive officers of Universal American Corp. that are based on or otherwise relate to the merger with WellCare, as disclosed in the section of the Proxy Statement entitled "Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Proposal 2)."

        The Company's Board of Directors recommends that stockholders approve the "golden parachute" compensation arrangements described in this Proxy Statement by voting "FOR" the above proposal.

        Approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the merger, and the vote with respect to this proposal is advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or WellCare. If the merger agreement is adopted by the stockholders and completed, the "golden parachute" compensation may be paid to the Company's named executive officers even if stockholders fail to approve the golden parachute.

ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING (PROPOSAL 3)

Adjournment or Postponement of the Special Meeting

        If the number of shares of UAM common stock present in person and represented by proxy at the special meeting and voting "FOR" the merger is insufficient to approve the merger proposal, the Company may move to adjourn or postpone the special meeting in order to enable the Board of Directors to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of the merger proposal. In that event, the Company will ask its holders of UAM common stock to vote only upon the adjournment or postponement proposal and not on the other proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Vote Required and Board of Directors Recommendation

        The approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of UAM common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon and thereat.

        The Board of Directors has approved and authorized the merger, and recommends that you vote "FOR" adoption of the merger agreement and, if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger proposal, recommends that you were "FOR" the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

        If the merger is completed, there will be no public participation in any future meetings of the Company's stockholders. If the merger is not completed, however, the Company's stockholders will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in meetings of the Company's stockholders.

        If the merger is not completed, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, some stockholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in our 2017 proxy statement. For stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2017 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, if held, they must have been received by the corporate secretary of the Company by December 29, 2016. These stockholder proposals must be submitted, along with proof of ownership of our stock in accordance with Rule 14a-8(b)(2), to our principal executive offices, in care of our corporate secretary, Universal American Corp., 44 South Broadway, Suite 1200, White Plains, New York 10601, Attention: Secretary, and must otherwise comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act. Failure to deliver a proposal by one of these means may result in it not being deemed timely received. We strongly encourage any stockholder interested in submitting such a proposal to contact our corporate secretary in advance of this deadline to discuss the proposal, and stockholders may want to consult knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws. Submitting a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that we will include it in our proxy statement. The Nominating and Governance Committee will review all stockholder proposals and make recommendations to the Board for action on any proposals.

        In addition, if the merger is not completed, to be considered for presentation at the annual meeting of our stockholders to be held in 2017, a stockholder proposal submitted outside the Rule 14a-8 processes described above must be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, our corporate secretary, Universal American Corp., 44 South Broadway, Suite 1200, White Plains, New York 10601, Attention: Corporate Secretary, not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. All proposals must comply with requirements set forth in our bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained from our corporate secretary. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge any matter not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

        Section 2.2
    Redemption of Preferred Stock.     Unless the Company has redeemed each share of Series A Preferred Stock as required by Section 6(a) of the COD, the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to redeem, in whole and not in part, each share of Series A Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the COD. The Company shall deliver a conditional notice of redemption (the "Redemption Notice") in accordance with Section 6(c) of the COD not less than 15 days and not more than 60 days before the Company's best estimation what is expected to be the Closing Date to the holders of record (as of 5:00 pm New York City time on the Business Day (as defined in the COD) preceding the day on which the notice is given) of any Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed. The Redemption Notice shall include: (a) the date of the redemption (the "Redemption Date") set as the first Business Day after the anticipated Closing Date, (b) that all of the Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, (c) the redemption price, calculated in accordance with Section 6(b) of the COD, (d) the place where the Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment therefor, and (e) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate from and after the date of such redemption.

At the Closing, the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit with the Paying Agent (as defined in the COD), funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which the Redemption Notice shall have been given and shall give such Paying Agent instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender in accordance with the COD. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such redemption of Series A Preferred Stock shall comply in all respects with the COD.

              (ii)    Surrender of Shares.    Upon surrender of a Certificate or of a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.3 above, together with a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange therefor, the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by that Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

            (g)    No Liability.    None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Parent shall consider Continuing Employees for grants, during the portion of the Continuation Period commencing in 2018, of equity-based awards under Parent's equity compensation plans as part of its ordinary course determinations with respect to grants of equity-based awards to its employees generally.

            (b)   Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, honor all Company Benefit Plans (including all severance, paid time-off, change of control and similar plans and agreements, including the Company's severance program in effect as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter) to Continuing Employees in accordance with their terms as in effect on the date hereof, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by such Company Benefit Plans and except as provided herein. Subject to the other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Agreement (including the other provisions of this Section 5.7), following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation are not required to maintain any benefit plan or agreement.

The 2016 Bonuses shall be paid by the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, at the time or times that the 2016 Bonuses would normally be paid by the Company in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice but in no event later than February 2017.

            (e)   Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor the Company's retention program providing for the payment of retention bonuses to certain Continuing Employees in connection with the Merger for the purpose of retaining the services of such Continuing Employees, on the terms set forth on Section 5.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "Retention Program"). Following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and/or Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the retention bonuses pursuant to the Retention Program, to certain Continuing Employees in connection with the Merger for the purpose of retaining the services of such Continuing Employees.

            (f)    For purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and, with respect to vacation, paid time off or severance compensation only, determination of the level of benefits, under each employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Time other than any equity based compensation plan or long-term incentive plan (collectively, the "New Plans"), each Continuing Employee shall receive full credit for such Continuing Employee's years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which the Company and its Subsidiaries have given credit for prior service), to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of benefits or with respect to any retiree welfare plan or defined benefit pension plan). In addition, where applicable, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent agrees to use or cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to provide that: (i) at the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee immediately shall be eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan to the extent such waiting time was satisfied under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the "Old Plans"); (ii) Parent shall cause all

A-37


Table of Contents

    pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan that is a health plan to be waived or satisfied for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Old Plan as of the Effective Time; and (iii) for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs Parent shall cause all eligible expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee's participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

            (g)   With respect to any accrued but unused paid time off to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the Company Benefit Plan that is a paid time off policy applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued paid time off in accordance with the terms of such Company Benefit Plan. If any Continuing Employee's employment is terminated during the Continuation Period, Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates to pay the Continuing Employee any accrued but unused paid time off as of the Effective Time (determined in accordance with this Section 5.7(g)) reduced by any paid time off used between the Effective Time and the date of termination in accordance with any Company Benefit Plan that is a paid time off policy applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

            (h)   The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent and its Representatives access at all reasonable times to the Continuing Employees and the employment and personnel records and data relating to the Continuing Employees to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law.

            (i)    Provided that Parent provides the Company written notice at least five days prior to the Closing Date (but in no event later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date), the Company shall or shall cause any applicable Subsidiary to take all actions necessary to terminate all Company Benefit Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a "401(k) Plan"), and the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been properly terminated (effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date), the form of such termination documents shall be subject to review of Parent.

            (j)    As soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date, Parent shall take all actions necessary to permit Continuing Employees who have an account balance under a 401(k) Plan to rollover (whether by direct or indirect rollover, as selected by such Continuing Employees) his or her "eligible rollover distribution" (as defined under Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) in the form of cash, a promissory note (in the case of loans) or any combination thereof from the Seller 401(k) Plan to a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliate for the benefit of the Continuing Employees.

            (k)   Nothing in this Section 5.7 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall: (i) confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including any Continuing Employee), any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment or any term or condition of employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, or restrict the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Person; (ii) be construed to establish, amend, fund or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or

    arrangement; (iii) limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) other than the parties to this Agreement.


        Section 5.8
    Directors' and Officers' Indemnification and Insurance.     

            (a)   Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the fiduciaries of any Company Benefit Plans (the "Indemnified Parties") as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, in the comparable organizational document of any of the Company's Subsidiaries, in any Contract between an Indemnified Party and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or otherwise in effect on the date of this Agreement to survive the Merger and to continue in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time or, if required, for such longer period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Indemnified Party in effect on the date of this Agreement as set forth on Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

            (b)   Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify all Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law with respect to all acts and omissions arising out of or relating to their service as directors or officers of the Company, its Subsidiaries or another Person, if such Indemnified Party is or was serving as a director or officer of such other Person at the request of the Company or Parent, or fiduciaries of the Company Benefit Plans, whether asserted or claimed at or after or occurring before the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). If any Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any Legal Action in connection with any matter subject to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall or Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, advance as incurred any Damages out of or incurred in connection with such Legal Action, subject to Parent's or the Surviving Corporation's, as applicable, receipt of a customary undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, to repay such Damages if it is ultimately determined under applicable Law that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. In the event of any such Legal Action, (i) each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Action and (ii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Legal Action pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Legal Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing.

            (c)   Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a "tail" directors' and officers' liability insurance policy with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) than the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company if the cost thereof does not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company before the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company is unable to so acquire such a "tail" policy then Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect for at least six years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by

A-39


Table of Contents

    the Company or policies with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) so long as Parent or the Surviving Corporation are not required to pay an aggregate premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance before the date of this Agreement (such 300% amount being the "Maximum Premium"). If the Company is unable to obtain the "tail" policy and Parent or the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Premium, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

            (d)   Parent hereby acknowledges that the Indemnified Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other Persons. Parent hereby agrees (i) that Parent and the Surviving Corporation are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Indemnified Party are secondary) (and as between Parent and the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort), (ii) that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full indemnifiable amounts, without regard to any rights any such Indemnified Party may have against any such other Person and (iii) that Parent irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to irrevocably waive, relinquish and release) such other Persons from any and all claims against any such other Persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of Parent and Surviving Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Surviving Corporation shall affect the foregoing and such other Persons shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Party against the Companies.

            (e)   The covenants contained in this Section 5.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of the doubt, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to the covenants contained in this Section 5.8. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.8; provided, that, if requested by the Surviving Corporation, the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses, in the event that it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a Governmental Authority with valid jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement.

            (f)    In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the

    Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Parent's obligations to pay (i) filing fees to Governmental Authorities or (ii) other amounts to the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as required by Section 5.10), Parent shall not be obligated to pay any amounts (other than de minimis amounts), or provide other consideration (other than de minimis consideration), to any Third Party in connection with obtaining or seeking to obtain any consents or approvals from such Third Party. The terms of this Section 5.9 shall not limit the rights of the Company set forth in Section 5.4.

Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notifications, including by providing copies of all submissions and written communications with the government to the non-filing party's outside antitrust or applicable regulatory counsel (and to the non-filing party upon consent of the filing party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before filing. Neither Parent nor the Company shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

            (b)   As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than (i) ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall file (and not subsequently withdraw without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or conditioned or delayed)) any Notification and Report Forms and related material required to be filed by it with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, as applicable, to request early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable and (ii) 30 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and

            (d)   Each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries) receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request. Prior to delivery of such response, to the extent practicable, such party shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such response. No party shall participate in any substantive meeting, or engage in any material substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) that Parent proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Law as promptly as practicable.

            (e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall promptly take (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to promptly take) any and all action necessary to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Order that would have the effect of preventing or delaying the Closing and to resolve the objections, if any, as any Governmental Authority may assert under any applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, consistent with the foregoing, to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that would reasonably be expected to be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including (i) restructuring, selling, divesting or disposing of assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), or committing to take such actions or (ii) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that would limit Parent's or its Subsidiaries' (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation's and its Subsidiaries') freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of their respective assets or businesses; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.10(e) shall require Parent to take any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not require the Company to, and the Company shall not be required to, take any action with respect to any Order or any applicable Law that would bind the Company or its Subsidiaries irrespective of whether the Merger occurs.

    Specific Performance.     The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable injury would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, and further agree that, (a) damages to the Company caused by the non-occurrence of the Closing, including damages related to reputational harm, customer or employee losses, increased costs, harm to the Company's business, and/or a reduction in the actual or perceived value of the Company or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, would be difficult or impossible to calculate, and (b) the right of specific performance is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of the United States as specified in Section 8.5, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.


        Section 8.17
    Counterparts; Effectiveness.     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each party hereto shall have received a counterpart signed by all of the other parties hereto.

Appendix B

Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

§ 262. Appraisal rights.

        (a)   Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

        (b)   Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), and, subject to paragraph (b)(3) of this section, § 251(h) of this title) § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

            (1)   Provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

            (2)   Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

              a.     Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

              b.     Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

              c.     Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

              d.     Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

            (3)   In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 251(h), § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior

B-1


Table of Contents

    to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

            (4)   In the event of an amendment to a corporation's certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as practicable, with the word "amendment" substituted for the words "merger or consolidation," and the word "corporation" substituted for the words "constituent corporation" and/or "surviving or resulting corporation."

        (c)   Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e) and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

        (d)   Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

            (1)   If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

            (2)   If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be

B-2


Table of Contents

    sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

        (e)   Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

        (f)    Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein

stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

        (g)   At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

        (h)   After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

        (i)    The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

        (j)    The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal

B-4

proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

        (k)   From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

        (l)    The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

November 17, 2016

Board of Directors
Universal American Corp.
44 South Broadway, Suite 1200
White Plains, New York 10601

Members of the Board of Directors:

        We understand that Universal American Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, expected to be dated as of November 17, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Wind Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation following the Merger, and each share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Company Common Stock") (other than (i) shares of the Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Merger Sub) immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) Dissenting Shares), will be converted into the right to receive consideration equal to $10.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement, and capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

        You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) of the Merger Consideration to be received by such holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

        In the course of performing our review and analyses for rendering the opinion set forth below, we have:

    (i)
    reviewed the financial terms of a draft copy of the Merger Agreement dated as of November 17, 2016, which was the most recent draft available to us (the "Draft Merger Agreement");

    (ii)
    reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning the Company and the industries in which it operates;

    (iii)
    reviewed certain publicly available financial analyses and forecasts relating to the Company prepared by equity analysts who report on the Company;

    (iv)
    reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by and provided to us by the management of the Company relating to its business (the "Company Projections");

    (v)
    conducted discussions with members of senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the matters described in clauses (ii)-(iv) above, and certain other matters we believed necessary or appropriate to our inquiry;

    (vi)
    compared the financial and operating performance of the Company with publicly available information concerning other publicly-traded companies and reviewed the current and

C-1


Table of Contents

      historical market prices of the Company Common Stock and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies, in each case, that we deemed relevant;

    (vii)
    reviewed and analyzed the proposed financial terms of the Merger as compared to the financial terms of certain selected business combinations and the consideration paid in such transactions that we deemed relevant;

    (viii)
    reviewed and analyzed, based on the Company Projections, the cash flows generated by the Company to determine the present value of the Company's discounted cash flows; and

    (ix)
    performed such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

        In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have assumed and relied upon, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information that was publicly available or was provided to, discussed with or reviewed by us. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or financial reporting experts and have relied, with your consent, on the assessments made by advisors to the Company with respect to such issues. We have not conducted any independent verification of the Company Projections. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Company Projections, we have assumed, with your consent, and based upon discussions with the Company's management, that they have been reasonably prepared in good faith, that the Company Projections are the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future results of operations and financial performance of the Company. We express no view as to the Company Projections or the assumptions on which they are based.

        In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have made no analysis of, and express no opinion as to, the adequacy of the regulatory reserves of the Company and have relied upon information supplied to us by the Company as to such adequacy. In addition, we have not made any independent evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries, and we have not been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Company, Parent or any other entity under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by us in connection with this opinion were going concern analyses. We express no opinion regarding the liquidation value of the Company or any other entity. We have assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of the Company since the date of the most recent relevant financial statements made available to us. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have undertaken no independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or may be subject, and at the direction of the Company and with its consent, our opinion makes no assumption concerning, and therefore does not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters. We have also assumed that neither the Company nor Parent is party to any material pending transaction that has not been disclosed to us, including without limitation any financing, recapitalization, acquisition or merger, divestiture or spin-off, other than the Merger.

        We have assumed that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement and in all other related documents and instruments that are referred to therein are and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date or the dates made or deemed made, that each party will fully and timely perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement in all material respects, that the Merger will be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement without amendments thereto, and that all conditions to the consummation of the Merger will be satisfied without waiver thereof. We have assumed that the final form of the Merger Agreement will be in all material respects identical to the Draft Merger Agreement. We have also assumed that any governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals

contemplated in connection with the Merger will be obtained and that, in the course of obtaining any of those consents, no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Merger.

        Our opinion set forth below is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they exist, and on the information made available to us, as of the date of this letter. We have not considered any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered by the United States Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or any other governmental or regulatory bodies, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in such opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion set forth below addresses solely the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Affiliates) of the Merger Consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement and does not address any other terms in the Merger Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Merger or any other aspect or implication of the Merger, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Merger. Our opinion does not address the Company's underlying business decision to proceed with the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger compared to other alternatives available to the Company. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the amount or nature of compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be paid to the public stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

        It is understood that this letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company for your information in connection with your consideration of the Merger and may not be used for any other purpose or disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing the Company is required to make with the SEC in connection with the Merger. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors or any stockholder of the Company as to how to vote on or to take any other action in connection with the Merger.

        As part of our investment banking services, we are regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, and for other purposes. We have acted as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, all of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement. We will not, however, receive an additional fee for rendering this opinion. We may also seek to provide such services to the Company and Parent in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services.

        This opinion was reviewed and approved by a fairness committee of MTS Securities LLC.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Very truly yours,
