Centene Corporation announced the final results of the offers to exchange notes (the "WellCare Notes") issued by WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (WellCare) for up to $1,950,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by Centene (the "Centene Notes") and cash and the related consent solicitations made by Centene on behalf of WellCare to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the WellCare Notes. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 21, 2020. Eligible holders of WellCare Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such notes at or prior to the Expiration Date are eligible to receive $1,000 principal amount of the Centene Notes of the applicable series for each $1,000 principal amount of WellCare Notes pursuant to the terms set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated November 1, 2019, as amended on November 12, 2019 and the related letter of transmittal and consent, each as amended by the press releases dated December 2, 2019, December 18, 2019, January 8, 2020 and January 14, 2020 (as so amended, the "offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement" and the "letter of transmittal", respectively). Eligible holders of WellCare Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2019 (the "Early Participation Date") are eligible to receive on the settlement date an early participation payment of $2.50 in cash (the "Early Participation Payment"), even if on such settlement date such noteholder is no longer the noteholder of record of such WellCare Notes. Each Centene Note issued in the Exchange Offers for a validly tendered WellCare Note will have an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the interest rate and maturity date of the tendered WellCare Note, as well as identical interest payment dates and optional redemption terms. No accrued and unpaid interest is payable upon acceptance of any WellCare Notes in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. However, the first interest payment on the Centene Notes will include the accrued and unpaid interest from the applicable WellCare Notes tendered in exchange therefor so that a tendering eligible holder will receive the same interest payment it would have received had its WellCare Notes not been tendered in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The Centene Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Centene and will be (i) equal in right of payment with each other and with all of Centene's existing and future senior indebtedness and (ii) senior in right of payment to all of Centene's existing and future subordinated debt.
