THE ACTION
On and after October 29, 2007, Plaintiffs filed shareholder derivative complaints against certain current and former directors and officers of WellCare alleging, inter alia, breaches of their fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  On December 7, 2007, the Court entered an order consolidating the related actions for all purposes.  On October 31, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of nominal defendant WellCare and against defendants Todd S. Farha, D. Robert Graham, Regina E. Herzlinger, Kevin F. Hickey, Alif A. Hourani, Ruben Jose King-Shaw, Jr., Christian P. Michalik, Neal Moszkowski, Paul Behrens, and Thaddeus Bereday.  Generally, Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) engaging in certain unsound business practices, (ii) artificially enhancing WellCare’s financial results, (iii) overstating WellCare’s income, (iv) creating an inadequate internal controls system, (v) causing WellCare to disseminate materially false and misleading statements during the relevant period, and (vi) engaging in insider stock sales and executive compensation packages in order to unjustly enrich themselves.
 
On March 30, 2009, the Court denied motions to dismiss the derivative action filed by both nominal defendant WellCare and the Individual Defendants.

On April 29, 2009, the WellCare Board of Directors voted to create the SLC to investigate the claims against WellCare asserted in this action.  The sole member of the SLC, David J. Gallitano, joined WellCare as a director on March 23, 2009.
 
On May 14, 2009, the Court stayed proceedings, including all discovery, so that the SLC could conduct its investigation and report to the Court.  After over six months of investigation, the SLC filed its report on November 20, 2009.  In the report, the SLC concluded that the claims against the Independent Director Defendants should be dismissed as there was “no basis under either federal law or Delaware law to pursue claims against them.”  The SLC also determined to continue the case against the Officer Defendants for breaches of their contractual and fiduciary duties to WellCare.
 
On November 18, 2009, Plaintiffs served a settlement demand letter upon WellCare.
 
On December 23, 2009, the SLC filed a motion to realign WellCare as the plaintiff against the Officer Defendants and to dismiss all claims against the Independent Director Defendants.  Following a status conference on January 6, 2010, Plaintiffs served on the SLC requests for the production of documents, a set of interrogatories, a notice of deposition to the SLC, and a subpoena directed to the SLC’s counsel who conducted the investigation.  Plaintiffs also filed an opposition to WellCare’s motion to realign on January 20, 2010.  On January 25, 2010, the SLC filed a reply in further support of its motion.
 
Beginning in October 2009, Plaintiffs and WellCare, through the SLC, engaged in extensive, hard-fought, and arm’s-length settlement negotiations, culminating in the execution of the Stipulation.
 
SCOPE OF PARTIAL SETTLEMENT
The Stipulation of Partial Settlement is being entered into between Plaintiffs, the Independent Director Defendants and WellCare.  A report based on an investigation conducted by the SLC concluded that the claims against the Independent Director Defendants should be dismissed as there was “no basis under either federal law or Delaware law to pursue claims against them.”  WellCare, through the SLC’s report, has also determined that certain claims against the Officer Defendants have merit and it intends to pursue them on its own behalf.  Upon approval by the Court of the Stipulation, all claims in the Action against the Independent Director Defendants will be dismissed and WellCare will be realigned as the plaintiff so that it can pursue claims against the Officer Defendants in the manner it deems appropriate and in the best interests of WellCare.  The Stipulation does not affect in any way WellCare’s claims against the Officer Defendants.  For their legal services to WellCare, Plaintiffs’ counsel will petition the Court for a Fee Award, as described below.
 
PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSELS’ POSITION CONCERNING SETTLEMENT
Plaintiffs believe that the claims asserted in the Action have merit.  Plaintiffs’ Counsel believes that the partial settlement set forth in the Stipulation confers substantial benefits upon WellCare and Current WellCare Shareholders.  Based on their evaluation, Plaintiffs’ Counsel has determined that the partial settlement set forth in the Stipulation is in the best interests of Plaintiffs, WellCare and Current WellCare Shareholders.
 
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR DEFENDANTS’
POSITION CONCERNING SETTLEMENT
The Independent Director Defendants have denied and continue to deny each and all of the claims and contentions alleged by Plaintiffs in the Action, including all charges of wrongdoing or liability against them arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Action.  The Independent Director Defendants have further asserted that at all relevant times, they acted in good faith, and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of WellCare and its Shareholders.
 
BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THE ACTION
The Settling Parties acknowledge that by bringing and pursuing the Action, Plaintiffs have benefited WellCare in at least the following ways:

 
4

 

1.         As a result of the Action, WellCare, through the SLC, has determined that certain claims against the Officer Defendants have merit and it intends to pursue them in the manner it
            deems appropriate and in the best interests of WellCare, which may result in a recovery by WellCare.
 
2.
As a result of the Action and the resulting SLC investigation, WellCare, through the SLC, decided not to remove the restrictions on certain stock that was to have been made available to the Officer Defendants.  The value of the restricted stock is in excess of $28 million at the time of the filing of this Stipulation.
 
3.
As a result of many factors and the filing of this Action, WellCare has made the following organizational changes that have strengthened WellCare’s compliance:
 
    
(a)      the departure of the Officer Defendants;
 
  
(b)
the separation of the positions of Board Chairman and CEO and the creation of the new positions of Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Operating Officer;
 
       (c)
the creation of a Regulatory Compliance Committee as a standing committee of the Board.  The principal purpose of the Regulatory Compliance Committee is to assist the Board in overseeing the regulatory compliance program, which is focused on compliance with (1) federal and state laws, rules and regulations and (2) WellCare’s Code of Conduct and related policies;
 
  
(d)
the adoption of a new charter for WellCare’s Disclosure Committee as well as new disclosure controls, policies and procedures.  The new procedures provide for a more comprehensive review of WellCare’s financial statement disclosures;
 
       (e)
the reorganization and strengthening of WellCare’s Corporate Compliance Committee.  Chaired by WellCare’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Committee is made up of other members of senior management, including the General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer and leaders of WellCare’s Medicare and Medicaid businesses.  The Corporate Compliance Committee reviews areas of legal, regulatory and compliance risk throughout WellCare and, under the oversight of the Regulatory Compliance Committee, is responsible for developing appropriate policies and procedures to address such risks;
 
       (f)
the creation of a new stand-alone Compliance Department that is under the supervision of the Chief Compliance Officer; and
 
        (g)
the launch of the iCare Program, a substantially revised and enhanced compliance program.  Some key features of the iCare Program include communication of WellCare’s mission and values to the entire organization and mandatory compliance training programs, or training modules, for all associates.   
 
4.
As a sole result of the Action, WellCare has made the following additional corporate governance changes:
 
       (a)
the Board of Directors will adopt a resolution requiring that shareholders be permitted to ask questions of the members of the Board of Directors at WellCare’s annual meeting each year; and
 
            (b)
the Board of Directors will adopt a resolution making it a non-binding corporate policy that the positions of CEO and chairman be held by different individuals (which is the case currently).
 
ATTORNEY’S FEES AND EXPENSES OF PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL
WellCare and Plaintiffs negotiated the attorney’s fees that WellCare would pay to Co-Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs.  Subject to Court approval of the Settling Parties’ agreement, WellCare has agreed to pay or cause to be paid the Fee Award, in the sum of $ 1,687,500 to Co-Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs for their fees and expenses.
 
CONDITIONS TO SETTLEMENT
The Stipulation contains conditions, which must be satisfied for the parties to be required to complete the Settlement.  Those conditions are detailed in the Stipulation, which can be viewed on WellCare’ website at http://www.WellCare.com.
