The Amendment is effective July 1, 2011 and is an amended and restated version of the Contract that incorporates all prior amendments and revises certain terms and conditions which includes, among other things:
(1) The addition of two one-year option terms to the Contract, exercisable by GA DCH, which potentially extends the total term of the Contract until June 30, 2014, as previously discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, filed May 3, 2011; and
(2) Provides plans the option to expand statewide provided they are able to demonstrate compliance with the Contract requirements in all service regions.
The foregoing description does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Amendment.
