INTRODUCTORY NOTE

As previously disclosed, on December 9, 2019, Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Denali Merger Sub, Inc., a Michigan corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), at a price of $4.00 per share, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest and subject to any required tax withholding.

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:01 a.m. (New York City time) on February 7, 2020 and the Offer was not extended. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as the depositary for the Offer, has advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, 61,203,549 shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that were not actually delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to the expiration of the Offer), representing approximately 80.53 percent of the shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer, were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The number of shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that were not actually delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to the expiration of the Offer) tendered satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement). All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, Sub has irrevocably accepted for payment all shares of Company Common Stock that Sub became obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

On February 10, 2020, following the consummation of the Offer, the remaining conditions to the merger of Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) set forth in the Merger Agreement were satisfied, and Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”), without a vote of the shareholders of the Company in accordance with Section 703a(3) of the Michigan Business Corporation Act. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Company or held in the treasury of the Company or shares owned by Parent, Sub or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, in each case, other than those held on behalf of any third party) was automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest, subject to any required tax withholding (the “Merger Consideration”), and all such shares of Company Common Stock ceased to be outstanding, were cancelled and ceased to exist, and each certificate formerly representing a share of Company Common Stock and each non-certificated share of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry that formerly represented a share of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration were cancelled and ceased to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest thereon, subject to any required tax withholding.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company, and, with respect to clause (ii) of the third bullet point below, as agreed between the Company and Parent, at the Effective Time:

Each outstanding Company stock option held by any former or terminated employee of the Company or its subsidiaries (each, a “Company Non-Employee Option”) was cancelled, and each holder of any such cancelled Company Non-Employee Option became entitled to receive a payment in cash, without interest, of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such cancelled Company Non-Employee Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the (A) the Offer Price over (B) the exercise price per share subject to such cancelled Company Non-Employee Option, less any applicable withholding taxes, except that any such Company Non-Employee Option with respect to which the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Offer Price was cancelled for no consideration;

Each outstanding Company stock option that is not a Company Non-Employee Option, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent common stock (the “Adjusted Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) (A) in the case of a service-based Company stock option, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time or (B) in the case of a performance-based Company stock option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned based on actual performance, if the performance period ended on or before the closing date, or the number of shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to the award, if the performance period was scheduled to end after the closing date, and (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio (as defined below), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (2) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, in each case, subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and exercisability, as applied to the Company stock option for which the Adjusted Option was exchanged, except for (x) any terms rendered inoperative as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (y) such other changes that are necessary for the administration of the Adjusted Option and not materially detrimental to the holder thereof. “Equity Award Conversion Ratio” means the Offer Price divided by the volume weighted average of the closing sale prices per share of Parent common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the New York City edition of the Wall Street Journal (or, if not reported thereby, as reported in another authoritative source), on each of the five full consecutive trading days ending on and including the third business day prior to the closing date of the Merger;

Each outstanding Company restricted stock unit (other than any Company restricted stock unit that (i) by its terms as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement, automatically became fully or partially vested effective immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or (ii) was earned and vested, but not yet settled, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“accelerated RSUs”)) was converted into a restricted stock unit award (the “Adjusted RSU”) denominated in shares of Parent common stock and relating to a number of shares of Parent common stock equal to the product of (I) (A) in the case of a service-based Company restricted stock unit, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company restricted stock unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (B) in the case of a performance-based Company restricted stock unit, the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned based on actual performance, if the performance period ended on or before the closing date, or the number of shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to the award (less any shares of Company Common Stock vested at or prior to the Effective Time), if the performance period was scheduled to end after the closing date, multiplied by (II) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, in each case, subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement, as applied to the Company restricted stock unit for which the Adjusted RSU was exchanged, except for (x) any terms rendered inoperative as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (y) such other changes that are necessary for the administration of the Adjusted RSU and not materially detrimental to the holder thereof; and

Each outstanding accelerated RSU was cancelled, and each holder of any such cancelled accelerated RSU became entitled to receive a payment in cash, without interest, of an amount equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of shares subject to such cancelled accelerated RSU, less any applicable withholding taxes.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 9, 2019 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
