Summary of the Action and Settlement

The Notice relates to a proposed settlement of claims in a pending securities class action brought by investors alleging, among other things, that Centene and certain of its officers, Michael F. Neidorff and Jeffrey A. Schwaneke (collectively, the “Individual Defendants,” and, together with Centene, “Defendants”) violated the federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements concerning Centene’s merger with Health Net, Inc.  A more detailed description of the Action is set forth in paragraphs 11-19 of the Notice.

Lead Plaintiff, on behalf of itself and the Settlement Class, has settled the Action for $7,500,000 in cash.

The Settlement Class consists of:

all persons and entities who purchased the common stock of Centene during the period from May 24, 2016 through July 25, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”) and who were damaged thereby.

Certain persons and entities are excluded from the Settlement Class by definition (see paragraph 20 of the Notice) or who requested exclusion pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Notice (see paragraphs 69-72 of the Notice).

On October 26, 2020, the Court held a hearing on approval of the Settlement and related matters and announced that it would approve the Settlement.  On October 28, 2020, the Court entered a Judgment approving the Settlement and orders approving the proposed Plan of Allocation and awarding attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, in order to be potentially eligible for a payment from the Settlement, you were required to submit a Claim Form with adequate supporting documentation postmarked no later than October 13, 2020.
