On May 9, 2014, Triple-S Management Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration ("ASES" by its Spanish acronym) had informed Triple-S Salud, Inc., the Company’s health insurance subsidiary ("Triple-S"), of the cancellation of the request for proposals for the selection of the managed care organizations that would manage the delivery of all covered physical and behavioral health services under a capitated risk-bearing contract for all regions in the Puerto Rico Government Health Plan. The Company also announced that ASES informed Triple-S of its intention of extending the contract by which Triple-S currently administers the provision of the physical health component of the program in all of the service regions in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which currently expires on June 30, 2014, for a nine-month period through March 31, 2015. Formal discussions regarding the contract extension are expected to begin the week of May 12, 2014. The Company expects the terms and conditions of the extension to be similar to those in the existing contract. In addition, ASES also indicated that a new request for proposals process will begin shortly.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
