MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC. ANNOUNCES PROPOSED OFFERING OF
$325 MILLION OF CASH CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
Long Beach, California (February 11, 2013) — Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:MOH) (the “Company”) announced today that it intends to privately offer, subject to market and other conditions, $325 million aggregate principal amount of cash convertible senior notes due 2020. The Company also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The notes will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The notes will pay interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 and will mature on January 15, 2020. The notes will be convertible only in certain circumstances and solely into cash. Upon conversion, in lieu of receiving shares of our common stock, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at a conversion rate to be determined. The interest rate, conversion rate, offering price and other terms of the notes will be determined by negotiations among the Company and the initial purchasers of the notes.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Company intends to enter into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes or their respective affiliates (the “option counterparties”). The cash convertible note hedge transactions are expected to offset cash payments due upon conversion of the notes. The Company also intends to enter into privately negotiated warrant transactions with the option counterparties, which could have a dilutive effect to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option, the Company may increase the size of the cash convertible note hedge transactions and enter into additional warrant transactions.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the cash convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties or their affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock or the notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock or the notes.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds to (1) pay the costs of the cash convertible note hedge transactions described above (after such costs are partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the warrant transactions described above), (2) repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock in negotiated transactions with institutional investors in the offering through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate, as the Company’s agent, concurrently with the pricing of the offering, and (3) repay all of the currently outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s credit facility in the amount of approximately $40 million. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including possible repurchases of the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014. The Company’s repurchases of its common stock could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of the Company’s common stock, and the notes, concurrently with the pricing of the notes and for a period of time following such pricing.
