Cautionary Statement
Cautionary Statement
All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical information provided herein, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements and as
such are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on management’s analysis, judgment, belief and expectation only as of the
date hereof, and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Without limiting the foregoing, statements including the words “believes,” “anticipates,”
“plans,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially due to, among other things, health care reform, including the ultimate impact of the Affordable Care Act, which could materially adversely
affect the company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows through, among other things, reduced revenues, new taxes, expanded liability, and
increased costs (including medical, administrative, technology or other costs), or require changes to the ways in which the company does business; rising health
care costs; continued slow economic growth or a further decline in the economy; negative prior period claims reserve developments; trends in medical care ratios;
membership declines; unexpected utilization patterns or unexpectedly severe or widespread illnesses; rate cuts affecting the Health Net’s Medicare or Medicaid
businesses; costs, fees and expenses related to the post-closing administrative services provided under the administrative services agreements entered into in
connection with the sale of Health Net’s Northeast business; potential termination of the administrative services agreements by the service recipients should
Health Net breach such agreements or fail to perform all or a material part of the services required thereunder; any liabilities of the Northeast business that were
incurred prior to the closing of its sale as well as those liabilities incurred through the winding-up and running-out period of the Northeast business; litigation cost
regulatory issues with agencies such as the California Department of Managed Health Care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and state departments
of insurance, including the continued suspension of the marketing of and enrollment into Health Net’s Medicare products for a significant period of time, which
could have a material adverse impact on Health Net’s Medicare business; operational issues; noncompliance by us or our business associates with any privacy law
or any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information; investment portfolio impairment
charges; volatility in the financial markets; and general business and market conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section included within the company's
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the
risks discussed in the company’s other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The company
undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any of its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this presentation.
