Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 14, 2008, in accordance with the terms of a previous Order entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court"), AMERIGROUP Corporation (the "Company"), its former wholly-owned subsidiary, AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., the United States of America, the State of Illinois, and the Relator, Cleveland A. Tyson, filed a joint status report with the Court regarding settlement proceedings in connection with the Company’s appeal of the judgment in United States of America and the State of Illinois, ex rel. Cleveland A. Tyson v. AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Case No. 02-C-6074 (the "Qui Tam Litigation").
The report provides that (i) the parties have met repeatedly under the auspices of the Court’s Settlement Conference Program and have reached agreement as to many issues, but that some material issues remain the subject of disagreement, (ii) the parties believe that further good faith eff orts could resolve the outstanding issues and (iii) the parties request that the Court afford an additional thirty days to determine whether a settlement can be finalized or whether the parties will proceed with the appeal. The report further provides that if a final settlement is not reached by August 13, 2008, the parties jointly request that the appeal be re-calendared for oral argument.
Additional information regarding the Qui Tam Litigation can be found under the heading "Legal Proceedings" in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 29, 2008 and in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2008.
