HEALTHSPRING, INC. ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 28, 2010) — HealthSpring, Inc. (NYSE:HS) today announced that, effective
June 1, Sharad Mansukani, M.D., will become Vice Chairman — Strategic Planning of the Board of
Directors and cease to be an executive officer and part-time employee of the Company. Dr.
Mansukani has served on the Company’s Board of Directors since June 2007 and, since November 2008,
has served as the Company’s Executive Vice President — Chief Strategy Officer. Both as a former
practicing physician and as a former CMS senior advisor, Dr. Mansukani has brought relevant
experience and insightful support to the Company’s strategic planning, network development, and
physician engagement activities, and is expected to continue to do so. In light of the challenges
to the Medicare program posed by recent health insurance reform legislation, the Board of Directors
determined that Dr. Mansukani could more effectively assist the Board and management with strategic
initiatives by appointing Dr. Mansukani to this newly created Board position. It is expected that
Dr. Mansukani will continue to work closely with Herb Fritch, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, in developing, implementing, and overseeing the Company’s strategic plans,
including its response to Medicare reform.
The Company also announced that Mark A. Tulloch, Executive Vice President — Enterprise Operations,
has added the title of Chief Operating Officer of the Company, a title held by the Company’s
President, Michael G. Mirt. Mr. Tulloch has served in various management capacities for the
Company since July 2006 and has in-depth working knowledge of the Company’s operations. Mr.
Tulloch will continue to report to the Company’s President, Mr. Mirt.
