Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On February 16, 2017, Universal American Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”), held a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “
Special Meeting
”) to:
1.
|
Consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016 (as it may be amended, the “
Merger Agreement
”), by and among WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“
WellCare
”), Wind Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare (“
Merger Sub
”), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “
Merger
”) and certain other transactions will be effected with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare (the “
Merger Agreement Proposal
”);
|
2.
|
Consider and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on a proposal to approve certain agreements or understandings with, and items of compensation payable to, the Company’s named executive officers that are based on or otherwise related to the Merger (the “
Compensation Proposal
”); and
|
3.
|
Consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “
Adjournment Proposal
”).
|
Each of the above proposals is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting, which was first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on January 17, 2017.
At the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting, 58,939,901 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. At the Special Meeting, a total of 52,783,555 shares of the Company’s common stock, approximately 90% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, were present in person or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
The stockholders of the Company approved the Merger Agreement Proposal and the Compensation Proposal. While the Company solicited proxies with respect to the Adjournment Proposal in connection with the Special Meeting, there were sufficient votes from the Company’s stockholders to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, and thus adjournment of the Special Meeting was unnecessary and the Adjournment Proposal was not called. The following are the votes cast on each of the matters presented at the Special Meeting:
