On September 20, 2022, Change Healthcare Inc. (the “Company” or “Change Healthcare”) issued a press release announcing that on September 19, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an opinion and final appealable order denying the request made by the U.S. Department of Justice and the States of New York and Minnesota for the Court to enjoin UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE: UNH) (“UnitedHealth Group”) from acquiring Change Healthcare pursuant to the proposed merger (the “Merger”) between the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, which will result in the combination of the Company and Optum Insight, a part of UnitedHealth Group. The opinion and final appealable order also require UnitedHealth Group and the Company to divest ClaimsXten to TPG Capital as proposed by UnitedHealth Group and the Company.
Furthermore, the press release announced that on September 20, 2022, the Company declared a one-time special dividend of $2.00 in cash per each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company. The special dividend will be paid to stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger which pursuant to Nasdaq requirements will occur no less than ten (10) days from the declaration date, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. The special dividend will be payable on or about the first business day following the closing of the Merger.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
