Item 1.01.  Entry into a Materially Definitive Agreement.

On September 21, 2007, concurrently with the closing of the Merger (as defined below), Universal American Financial Corp., a New York corporation (“Universal American” or the “Company”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement among Universal American and the securityholders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Stockholders Agreement”).  The material terms of the Stockholders Agreement were described in Universal American’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed on July 16, 2007 (File No. 333-143822), which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, and reference is made to the complete text of the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 21, 2007, Universal American announced the completion of its acquisition of MemberHealth, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“MemberHealth”) (the “Merger”).  Universal American completed this acquisition pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Universal American, MH Acquisition I Corp. and MH Acquisition II LLC, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Universal American, MemberHealth, MHRx LLC, sole owner of MemberHealth, and WCAS IX, as shareholder representative, and joined by certain other parties.  As a result of the Merger, which became effective on September 21, 2007, MemberHealth was merged with and into MH Acquisition II LLC, which remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal American.  As consideration for the Merger, MemberHealth shareholders received an aggregate of 14,175,000 shares of Universal American common stock and an aggregate of $346,500,000, minus fees and expenses.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MemberHealth shareholders are also entitled to possible future earn-out payments or adjustments having a value of up to $150,000,000, in cash and stock.

The foregoing description of the Merger and 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 was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Universal American’s Current Report on Form 8-K on May 11, 2007 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional information regarding the Merger was provided in Universal American’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed on July 16, 2007 (File No. 333-143822), which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K.

A copy of the press release announcing the acquisition of MemberHealth is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by this reference.

For information regarding the relationship between Universal American and investors providing funds for use in the acquisition of MemberHealth, see the information under Item 3.02.




 

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On September 21, 2007, Universal American completed the previously announced issuance and sale (the “Sale”) to Lee-Universal Holdings, LLC, WCAS X, WCAS Management Corporation, as partial successor to WCAS X, Union Square, Perry Partners, L.P., Perry Partners International, Inc., and Perry Private Opportunities Fund, L.P. and Perry Private Opportunities Offshore Fund, L.P., successors to Perry Commitment Fund, L.P. and Perry Commitment Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”) in a private placement of an aggregate of 16,632 shares of Series A Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 108,368 shares of Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $250 million.  Universal American used the proceeds of the Sale as a portion of the consideration paid to MemberHealth shareholders in the Merger.

The Sale was conducted as a private placement in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as transactions not involving a public offering.  The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act, and they may not be subsequently offered or sold by investors in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement.  This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Additional information regarding the Sale was provided in Universal American’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed on July 16, 2007 (File No. 333-143822), which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K.

See Universal American’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 7, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information relating to the Sale, the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Series B Preferred Stock.
