(a) – (b)

Merger Agreement

On January 5, 2021, UNH entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Cambridge Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of UNH (“Merger Sub”) and the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNH.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any (i) Company Restricted Shares (as defined below) and (ii) Shares owned by (A) UNH, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned subsidiary of UNH, the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (and, in each case, not held on behalf of third parties) or (B) stockholders who have properly made and not withdrawn or lost a demand for appraisal rights with respect to their Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $25.75 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote on such matter at a meeting to be held for such purpose (the “Company Stockholders Meeting,” and such adoption, the “Requisite Company Vote”), (ii) the expiration or termination


of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), without, solely as relates to UNH’s obligation to consummate the Merger, the imposition of any Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the absence of other legal restraints, (iv) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to customary materiality thresholds), (v) the material performance of the parties’ respective covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, (vi) solely as relates to UNH’s obligation to consummate the Merger, the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to the Company and (vii) solely as relates to UNH’s obligation to consummate the Merger, the Company’s receipt of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby will not affect the intended tax-free treatment of the March 2020 separation of PF2 SpinCo Inc. from McKesson Corporation and subsequent merger of PF2 SpinCo Inc. with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company.

The parties have made customary representations and warranties, and agreed to customary covenants, in the Merger Agreement, including customary covenants regarding (i) the conduct of the Company’s business during the pre-Closing period, (ii) the Company’s obligation to call and hold, and to file a proxy statement in connection with, the Company Stockholders Meeting and (iii) subject to certain qualifications as set forth in the Merger Agreement, the parties’ use of their respective reasonable best efforts to effect the expiration or termination of the required waiting period under the HSR Act, obtain all other required regulatory approvals and otherwise consummate the Merger in a timely manner.

After the Effective Time, UNH intends to cause the Shares to be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and may take one or more of the other actions described in the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Support Agreement

As a condition and inducement to UNH’s entry into the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, UNH and the Shareholders entered into the Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, each Shareholder agreed, among other things, not to Transfer (as defined in the Support Agreement) any Shares (and any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, or rights to purchase or acquire, Shares) that such Shareholder owns, beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) or of record as of the date of the Support Agreement, and any additional Shares (and any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, or rights to purchase or acquire, Shares) that such Shareholder may acquire beneficial (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) or record ownership of after the date of the Support Agreement (collectively, the “Covered Shares”), other than with the prior written consent of UNH.

The Shareholders also agreed to vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) covering all Covered Shares owned (beneficially or of record) by such Shareholder, (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against (A) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Merger not being satisfied, (B) any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any action with the intention to further any Acquisition Proposal, (C) any stock purchase agreement, any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer, exchange, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company (other than the Merger Agreement), and (D) any proposal or action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay, materially postpone or materially adversely affect consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Solely in the event of a failure by a Shareholder to act in accordance with such Shareholder’s obligation as to voting pursuant to the Support Agreement prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, and (iii) the time the Support Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of UNH and each Shareholder (the “Expiration Time”), such Shareholder has also granted UNH an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to vote the Covered Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of the Covered Shares owned (beneficially or of record) by a Shareholder, as provided for in the Support Agreement. The irrevocable proxy will terminate automatically upon the termination of the Support Agreement.

The Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Expiration Time and (ii) any material change to the terms of the Merger without the prior written consent of the Shareholders that (A) reduces the Per Share Merger Consideration (other than certain adjustments in compliance with Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement), (B) changes the form of consideration payable in the Merger or (C) extends the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (other than the extension of the Outside Date that is provided for in Section 9.2(a) of the Merger Agreement).


The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Not applicable.

(d) Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, and the individuals designated by UNH in writing prior to the Effective Time will become the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time.

(e) Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, except as otherwise set forth therein, the Company may not, among other things: (i) declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or otherwise, with respect to any of its capital stock (including with respect to the Company, for the avoidance of doubt, Shares), except for cash dividends paid by any subsidiary to the Company or to any other subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) solely with respect to the Company and its material subsidiaries, reclassify, split, combine, subdivide or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or offer to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its capital stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any shares of its capital stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Shares).

(f) If the Merger is consummated, the Company will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of UNH.

(g) Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as set forth in Annex B to the Merger Agreement and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated at the Effective Time to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced with references to the Surviving Corporation’s name.

(h) – (i) UNH intends to cause the Shares and the 6.00% tangible equity units of the Company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “CHNGU” to be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregistered under the Act, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

(j) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Support Agreement, neither UNH nor, to the knowledge of UNH, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has any present plans or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters described in Item 4(a) – (j) of Schedule 13D (although UNH reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) – (b) Other than those Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by operation of the Support Agreement, UNH does not beneficially own any Shares. As a result of entering into the Support Agreement, UNH may be deemed to possess shared voting power to vote up to 59,046,102 Shares with respect to certain matters described in Item 4 above, and thus, UNH may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of up to 59,046,102 Shares, or approximately 19.3% of the outstanding Shares (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3). The foregoing beneficial ownership calculations are based on 305,612,624 Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020, as represented by the Company in the Merger Agreement. UNH (i) is not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company as to the Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreement, and (ii) disclaims all beneficial ownership of such Shares as permitted by Rule 13d-4 under the Act. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)–(b), neither UNH, nor, to the knowledge of UNH, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, beneficially owns any Shares.

(c) Except with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement (the descriptions of which are qualified in their entirety by reference to the respective agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2), neither UNH, nor, to the knowledge of UNH, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has effected any transaction in the Shares during the past 60 days.

(d) To the knowledge of UNH, neither UNH nor any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto knows any other person, other than the Shareholders, who has the right to receive, or the power to direct, the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by UNH as provided herein.


(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Items 3 through 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6. Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, to the knowledge of UNH, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D or listed on Schedule A hereto, and between such persons and any person, with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Company, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
