PROXY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION
This proxy statement is provided in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by United American Healthcare Corporation (the "COMPANY"), for use at
the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on ______, 2008 at
__:00 [a.m./p.m.], Eastern Time, at the Atheneum Suite Hotel, 1000 Brush Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan, and any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in
the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy statement
and proxies in the enclosed form are first being sent to the Company's
shareholders on or about ______, 2008.
It is important that your shares be represented at the Special Meeting. The
proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors. Shares represented by
valid proxies in the enclosed form will be voted if received in time for the
meeting. Whether you plan to attend the meeting or not, please sign, date and
mail the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If
you send in your proxy card and then decide to attend the Special Meeting to
vote your shares in person, you may still do so. Your proxy is revocable in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement.
The proposed sale to Molina Healthcare, Inc. of a 19.9% or 49.9% interest
in the stock of our subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc., the signing
of the Shareholder Agreement to be entered into with Molina, and the future sale
for cash to Molina, at its option, of our remaining UAHC Health Plan stock have
been agreed to in a Purchase Agreement between the Company and Molina in
connection with the proposal they jointly submitted to apply for one or two
TennCare managed care contracts. The closing of these and other transactions
contemplated in the Purchase Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things,
approval of the proposal stated in the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders
accompanying this proxy statement by a majority of the votes cast by the
Company's shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting (represented in
person or by proxy).
If Molina would exercise its purchase option and if, consequently, the sale
of all our UAHC Health Plan stock is completed, the Company will sell
substantially all of its non-cash assets to Molina for the purchase price
determined as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement at some future time. THE
SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT KNOW, AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. HOWEVER, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY HAS
CAREFULLY REVIEWED AND APPROVED THE PROPOSAL AS BEING FAIR AND IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE
PROPOSAL.
1
NEITHER THE GRANTING OF MOLINA'S PURCHASE OPTION NOR THE SALES OF UAHC
HEALTH PLAN STOCK TO MOLINA HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE COMMISSION HAS NOT PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR
MERITS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
SUMMARY TERM SHEET
The following is a summary of the most material terms of the signed
Purchase Agreement dated as of March 24, 2008 (attached to this proxy statement
as APPENDIX A) and the transactions contemplated therein, including a summary of
the most material terms of the proposed Shareholder Agreement which is Exhibit D
in such APPENDIX A. We have included page references in parentheses to direct
you to a more complete description of such transactions and agreements elsewhere
in this proxy statement.
- - PARTIES. (See pages 13 and 14) The parties to the Purchase Agreement are
Molina Healthcare, Inc., UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc., United
American of Tennessee, Inc. and United American Healthcare Corporation. In
addition, if the proposal that UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. and
Molina Healthcare, Inc. jointly submitted to TennCare in March 2008
results in receiving one or two TennCare contracts, and if applicable
conditions are satisfied or waived, then the Shareholder Agreement will be
entered into by UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc., United American of
Tennessee, Inc. and Molina Healthcare, Inc.
- - DEFINED TERMS FOR BREVITY. For brevity in this proxy statement: (A) "WE" or
"OUR" refer to United American Healthcare Corporation; (B) our wholly-owned
subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc., is sometimes referred to
as "UAHC HEALTH PLAN"; (C) our wholly-owned subsidiary, United American of
Tennessee, Inc., is sometimes referred to as "UAT"; (D) Molina Healthcare,
Inc. is sometimes referred to as "MOLINA"; and (E) "SPECIAL MEETING" means
the Special Meeting of our shareholders referred to in the very first
paragraph of this proxy statement.
- - THE SALE OF A MINORITY INTEREST IN OUR SUBSIDIARY. (See page 14) You are
being asked to approve the sale of a 19.9% or 49.9% stock interest in our
operating subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan, to Molina, depending on whether the
proposal they jointly submitted to TennCare in March 2008 results in
receiving one or two TennCare contracts, respectively. However, if no
TennCare contract is received pursuant to the joint proposal, there will be
no sale, and hence no Shareholder Agreement, and the Special Meeting will
be canceled.
- - CLOSING OF THE MINORITY INTEREST SALE. (See page 14) The closing of the
sale of the minority stock interest to Molina will occur only if at least
one TennCare contract is received pursuant to the joint proposal. In that
event, the closing is expected to occur, if all applicable conditions have
been satisfied or waived, no sooner than the TennCare contract signing
(expected on or before May 9, 2008) and no later than the TennCare contract
effective date (expected to be November 1, 2008 if only a West Grand Region
contract is received, or January 1, 2009 if an East Grand Region contract
is received).
- - CONSIDERATION FOR THE MINORITY INTEREST SALE. (See page 14) At the closing
(if any), the cash purchase price to be paid by Molina to UAHC Health Plan
will be $4,500,000 for a 19.9% interest, or $18,040,000 for a 49.9%
interest, in the total outstanding stock of UAHC Health Plan, as
applicable.
2
- - MOLINA'S OPTION TO BUY-OUT OUR INTEREST IN UAHC HEALTH PLAN. (See pages
14-15) You are being asked to approve our granting Molina Healthcare, Inc.
an option to purchase all our shares of UAHC Health Plan stock for cash,
exercisable at a future time. Accordingly, you are being asked to approve
the sale of substantially all of our non-cash assets to Molina if it
exercises that option.(1) However, if no TennCare contract is received
pursuant to the joint proposal, there will be no such option, and hence no
such potential sale, and the Special Meeting will be canceled.
- - WHEN MOLINA CAN EXERCISE ITS OPTION TO BUY-OUT OUR INTEREST IN UAHC HEALTH
PLAN. (See pages 14-15) Molina could exercise the option any time between
the dates that are 24 and 48 months (if the joint proposal results in one
TennCare contract) or 36 and 60 months (if it results in two TennCare
contracts) from the TennCare contract effective date. Accordingly, if the
joint proposal results in only a West Grand Region contract (with a
November 1, 2008 expected effective date), Molina could exercise the option
between November 1, 2010 and November 1, 2012; and if the joint proposal
results in a West Grand Region contract and an East Grand Region contract
(with a January 1, 2009 expected effective date), Molina could exercise the
option between January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2014.
- - ALSO WHEN MOLINA CAN EXERCISE ITS OPTION TO BUY-OUT OUR INTEREST IN UAHC
HEALTH PLAN. (See page 15) In addition, Molina could exercise the option to
buy-out our interest in UAHC Health Plan prior to the expiration dates
described in the preceding paragraph any time that (i) UAHC Health Plan
requires a capital infusion of more than $5,000,000 upon a capital call by
its Board of Directors as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, or
requires additional capital as mandated by TennCare and/or the Tennessee
Department of Commerce and Insurance, and (ii) UAT declines to contribute
its proportionate share, and (iii) Molina elects to and does contribute
100% of the required capital.
- - CONSIDERATION FOR OUR ENTIRE INTEREST IN UAHC HEALTH PLAN. (See page 15) If
Molina exercises its option to purchase all of our UAHC Health Plan stock
(which is owned by our subsidiary, UAT), the cash purchase price to be paid
by Molina to UAT will equal the percentage share of all outstanding UAHC
Health Plan stock then owned by UAT multiplied by the Fair Market Value of
UAHC Health Plan determined as of the purchase closing date. For this
purpose, the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan will equal the sum of
(1) its Medicaid membership multiplied by $345 per Medicaid member, plus
(2) its Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan
membership multiplied by $2,500 per Medicare member, plus (3) the market
value of its Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Program plan business
operations, if any, plus (4) the sum of capital then held by UAHC Health
Plan in excess of its statutory minimum net worth requirement. Because
these variable components of the purchase price must be determined at an
indefinite date
- ----------
(1) We note that upon Molina's purchase of a minority interest in UAHC Health
Plan stock, the remaining majority interest in UAHC Health Plan stock that
UAT will continue to own will constitute substantially all of our non-cash
assets (i.e., assets other than cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities), and may continue to constitute substantially all of our
non-cash assets when Molina later exercises its buy-out purchase option. It
is possible, however, that if and when Molina exercises the option, the
Company by that time might have acquired other non-cash assets to such an
extent that the sale of all of UAT's UAHC Health Plan stock to Molina would
not then be a sale of substantially all of our non-cash assets. Since that
is wholly speculative and may not occur, we ask shareholders to consider
and vote on the Transactions proposal at the Special Meeting (in person or
by proxy) on the assumption that if Molina exercises the option, the sale
of all of UAT's UAHC Health Plan stock to Molina would be a sale of
substantially all of our non-cash assets at that time.
3
likely to be more than 2 1/2 years from now, we cannot know or accurately
predict what the actual cash purchase price will be.
- - OUR OPTION TO BUY ALL OF MOLINA'S INTEREST IN UAHC HEALTH PLAN. (See page
15) In the Shareholder Agreement, Molina will grant to our subsidiary, UAT,
the option to purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock owned by Molina for a
purchase price equal to the percentage share of the total outstanding UAHC
Health Plan stock then owned by Molina multiplied by the Fair Market Value
of UAHC Health Plan (as defined in the preceding paragraph) determined as
of the purchase closing date. UAT could exercise the option any time
between the dates that are 60 and 72 months from the effective date of the
TennCare contract received pursuant to the joint proposal. Accordingly, UAT
could exercise the option any time between November 1, 2013 and November 1,
2014 if the contract effective date for this purpose is November 1, 2008,
or between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 if the contract effective
date for this purpose is January 1, 2009.
- - MOLINA'S OPTION TO REQUIRE US TO BUY ALL OF ITS INTEREST IN UAHC HEALTH
PLAN. (See pages 15-16) In the Shareholder Agreement, our subsidiary, UAT,
will grant to Molina the option (called the "PUT") to require UAT to
purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock owned by Molina for a price equal to
the percentage share of the total outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock then
owned by Molina multiplied by the Total Value of UAHC Health Plan. Molina
could exercise the Put any time between the dates that are 60 and 72 months
from the effective date of the new TennCare contract. Accordingly, Molina
could exercise the Put any time between November 1, 2013 and November 1,
2014 if the contract effective date for this purpose is November 1, 2008,
or between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 if the contract effective
date for this purpose is January 1, 2009. For this purpose, the Total Value
of UAHC Health Plan would be (i) the valuation proposed in writing by
Molina with its notice of exercising the Put, if agreed to by UAT, or (ii)
the alternative valuation proposed by UAT to Molina, or (iii) if Molina and
UAT could not agree upon the Total Value of UAHC Health Plan within 30 days
after Molina's notice of exercising the Put, the valuation determined by
arbitration procedures set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning

harbor provisions created by that Act. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of terms such as "expect," "could," "may," "believe,"
"anticipate," "will" and other future tense and forward-looking terminology.
Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of

ABOUT THE MEETING
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL MEETING?
At our Special Meeting, shareholders will act upon the proposal stated in
the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this proxy statement,
to approve the Purchase Agreement dated as of March 24, 2008 among us, our
subsidiaries United American of Tennessee, Inc. and UAHC Health Plan of
Tennessee, Inc., and Molina Healthcare, Inc. and all transactions contemplated
therein (together with the Purchase Agreement and a Shareholder Agreement
referred to in it, the "TRANSACTIONS").
4
WHAT ARE THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS?
Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as
proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendation
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD" or "BOARD OF DIRECTORS").
The Board's recommendation is set forth with the description of the Transactions
proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote FOR
the approval of the Transactions proposal as being in the best interests of the
Company and our shareholders.
Management is not aware of any matters, other than as specified above, that
will be presented for action at the Special Meeting, but if any other matters do
properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by
the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, at their discretion.
WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE MEETING?
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2008, the
record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to
participate in the Special Meeting. If you were a shareholder of record on that
date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date
at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. As of the
record date, there were 8,734,214 shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
WHAT ARE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK?
Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, each holder of outstanding
Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock held by
such holder.
WHO CAN ATTEND THE MEETING?
All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies,
may attend the meeting. If you attend, please note that cameras, recording
devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.
Please also note that if you hold your shares in "street name" (that is,
through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage
statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date in order to gain
entrance.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?
With respect to all of the matters to be voted on at the meeting, the
presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a
quorum at the meeting, permitting the shareholders to take action on those
matters.
Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be
included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at
the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum.
HOW DO I VOTE?
If you complete and properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card and
return it to the Company, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a
registered shareholder and attend the meeting, you
5
may deliver your completed proxy card in person. "Street name" shareholders who
wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the
institution that holds their shares.
CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I RETURN MY PROXY CARD?
Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at
any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the Secretary of the
Company either a notice of revocation or a duly exercised proxy bearing a later
date. In addition, the powers of the proxy holders will be suspended as to your
earlier submitted proxy if you attend the meeting in person and vote, although
attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE TRANSACTIONS PROPOSAL?
A majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of Common Stock entitled
to vote at the meeting (represented in person or by proxy) will be required to
approve the Transactions proposal. A properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN"
with respect to the Transactions proposal will not be voted, although it will be
counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an
abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.
If you hold your shares in "street name" through a broker or other nominee,
your broker or other nominee will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion
with respect to the Transactions proposal and may not be permitted to exercise
voting discretion with respect to any other matter that may properly come before
the meeting. Thus, if you do not give your broker or other nominee specific
instructions, your shares may not be voted on that proposal or those matters and
will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval.
Shares represented by such "broker non-votes" will, however, be counted in
determining whether there is a quorum.
WHAT WILL THE INSPECTOR OF ELECTION DO AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?
The shareholder votes cast for all items considered at the meeting will be
calculated by an officer of Computershare Investor Services, L.L.C., our
Registrar and Transfer Agent, as the Board-designated Inspector of Election. The
Inspector of Election will determine the number of shares outstanding and the
voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a
quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, hear and
determine challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote,
count and tabulate votes, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper
to conduct the election. Abstentions will not be counted either for or against
any action for which cast.
WILL THE SHAREHOLDERS HAVE APPRAISAL RIGHTS OR SIMILAR RIGHTS OF DISSENTERS?
Under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, the shareholders of the
Company are not entitled to any appraisal rights or dissenters' rights in
connection with the Transactions or any other matter to be acted upon at the
Special Meeting.
WHAT IS BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP?
Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT").
Under Rule 13d-3, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more
than one person (such as where persons share voting power or investment power).
In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the
person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an
option) within 60 days of the date as of
6
which the information is provided. In computing the percentage of ownership of
any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of
shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of
such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of
any person as shown on the following table does not necessarily reflect the
person's actual voting power at any particular time. The following information
is based on information contained in the most recent Schedule 13D or 13G and
Form 4 filings available to the Company.
HOW MUCH STOCK DO THE COMPANY'S 5% SHAREHOLDERS OWN?
The following table contains information with respect to the beneficial
ownership of our common shares as of March 21, 2008 by each person known by us
to beneficially own more than 5% of our common shares, our only outstanding
class of voting shares:

BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSACTIONS
In early 2007, the Company became aware that the State of Tennessee's
TennCare Bureau could issue a request for proposals for TennCare's East and West
Grand Regions (the "RFP") as early as later that year.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan, is an incumbent
contractor in the TennCare West Grand Region, with over 14 years' experience in
the TennCare system. The Company's management believes that the Company has a
well staffed operation in Memphis, Tennessee with an extensive provider network
consisting of more than 900 primary and specialty care physicians and more than
19 hospitals in Tennessee. However, the Company's management determined that, to
maximize its chances for success in the RFP process and to better serve the
members of UAHC Health Plan in the future, the Company should explore potential
strategic alliances or joint ventures with one or more national healthcare
management companies.
During the summer and fall of 2007, a team of the Company's senior
executives (reporting to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
William C. Brooks) identified several companies which in their judgment could
serve as suitable strategic partners for the Company. The Company's executives
and representatives had discussions with each of these candidates. The Company
was able to structure an acceptable arrangement with only one of them, Molina
Healthcare, Inc.
On September 10, 2007, an initial meeting was held in Detroit, Michigan,
between representatives of the Company and Molina, including Mr. Brooks and
Stephen D. Harris, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, for the Company, and Marvin Cobern, Molina's Vice President for
Strategic Planning and Development. Following that meeting, a conference call
was held on September 17, 2007, to further discuss a potential strategic
alliance or joint venture between the companies. The participants in the
conference call included Messrs. Brooks and Harris for the Company and several
senior executives of Molina, including John C. Molina, Molina's Chief Financial
Officer. Following additional discussions between representatives of the two
companies, Molina and the Company entered into a Mutual Confidentiality and
Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of October 1, 2007.
From October 4, 2007 through November 20, 2007, senior executives of the
Company held negotiations with Molina representatives regarding a joint venture
between the two companies. On behalf of the Company, these negotiations were led
by Messrs. Brooks and Harris. They were assisted by the
10
Company's financial advisor, The Chesapeake Group of New York City, and the
Company's principal law firm, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP.
On November 2, 2007, at its regular quarterly meeting, the Board of
Directors of the Company reviewed the status of the potential joint venture
between the Company and Molina. At the meeting, presentations were made by
senior executives of the Company and the Company's financial advisor and legal
counsel. Following these presentations, the Board unanimously voted to authorize
the Company to continue negotiating with Molina and to enter into a non-binding
preliminary agreement with Molina to establish a joint venture with respect to
health maintenance organization operations in Tennessee.
Discussions continued between representatives of the Company and Molina and
led, on November 20, 2007, to a preliminary agreement between them to establish
a joint venture. The agreement, titled "Memorandum of Interest and Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement," provided, among other things, that the parties would
"exclusively negotiate with each other" regarding submitting a joint response to
the anticipated RFP, and would continue to "expend the time, energy and
resources necessary to negotiate the acquisition [by Molina] of an equity
interest in [UAHC Health Plan]". Attached to the preliminary agreement was a
"preliminary term sheet," which proposed that (1) Molina acquire an equity
interest in UAHC Health Plan for a cash payment at the closing, and (2) Molina
acquire an option exercisable at a later date to purchase full ownership of UAHC
Health Plan at a formula price, with additional consideration for UAHC Health
Plan's Medicare Advantage business and any excess statutory net worth of UAHC
Health Plan at the time of such purchase.
On November 28, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors held a special
meeting to discuss the potential Molina joint venture. At the meeting, the Board
reviewed the terms of the November 20th preliminary agreement, including the
"preliminary term sheet" and unanimously ratified the Company's execution of the
preliminary agreement (including the preliminary term sheet). However, the Board
also directed the Company's management to make further presentations to the
Company's Board before entering into any definitive agreements relating to the
proposed Molina joint venture. The Board also directed its Finance and Audit
Committee to conduct further evaluation and inquiry regarding whether the
potential transaction with Molina was in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders. The Finance and Audit Committee was asked to focus
particularly on whether the pricing was fair for both (a) the initial sale to
Molina of a minority equity interest in UAHC Health Plan and (b) a subsequent
sale to Molina of the Company's entire equity interest in UAHC Health Plan, in
the event Molina exercised its purchase option described in the November 20th
preliminary agreement. The Finance and Audit Committee was asked to make a
recommendation to the full Board regarding the proposed Molina joint venture
before the Board would vote on whether to authorize the Company to enter into
any definitive agreements for the proposed transaction.
From November 28, 2007 through December 22, 2007, the Finance and Audit
Committee of the Company's Board reviewed substantial information regarding
Molina, the Company's Tennessee operations, TennCare, and the terms of the
proposed Molina joint venture, including the proposed initial sale to Molina of
a minority equity interest in UAHC Health Plan and the terms of the buy-out
option proposed to be granted to Molina. In connection with its review, the
Committee held discussions with the Company's senior executives and, in
executive sessions, held discussions with the Company's financial advisor and
legal counsel regarding the proposed Molina joint venture.
Based on its review, the Finance and Audit Committee of the Company's Board
concluded that Molina represented a strong potential partner for the Company,
and that the proposed affiliation with Molina offered substantial advantages to
the Company in connection with both UAHC Health Plan's response to the
anticipated RFP and UAHC Health Plan's potential future operations in regard to
TennCare. Among other things, the Committee noted that the proposed affiliation
with Molina would
11
bring significant additional capability to the Company's Tennessee operations,
in the form of Molina's substantial knowledge and experience in behavioral
health and disease management.
The Finance and Audit Committee of the Company's Board also considered the
pricing of the proposed sale to Molina of a minority equity interest in UAHC
Health Plan and the purchase price to be paid by Molina in the event it
exercised the buy-out option proposed to be granted to it to purchase full
ownership of UAHC Health Plan. In its consideration of the pricing issues, the
Finance and Audit Committee took into account the current public trading price
of the Company's shares and the terms of comparable transactions involving sales
of health maintenance organizations. The Finance and Audit Committee also took
into account that, under the proposed structure for the joint venture with
Molina, following the initial closing Molina and its organization would be
required to make a significant contribution to UAHC Health Plan in terms of
operations and capital. In the Finance and Audit Committee's judgment, by making
such contributions Molina will therefore have substantially contributed to any
increased future value of UAHC Health Plan at the time of any exercise of the
Molina purchase option.
On December 22, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors held a special
meeting to discuss the proposed Molina joint venture. The Company's senior
executives and legal counsel were also in attendance. At the meeting, the
Chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee, Darrel W. Francis, described the
Committee's review of the proposed transaction and reported the Committee's
findings. Mr. Francis said that based on the Finance and Audit Committee's
review, the Committee determined that the joint venture with Molina was in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and the Committee
unanimously recommended that the Board of Directors grant the Company's
management authority to complete negotiations with Molina and to enter into
definitive agreements consistent with the presentations that had been made to
the Board of Directors.
After further discussion, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to
authorize the Company's management to negotiate definitive agreements with
Molina for a joint RFP submission by Molina and UAHC Health Plan, for Molina's
investment in a minority stock interest in UAHC Health Plan and for the grant to
Molina of a purchase option for all of the Company's stock interest in UAHC
Health Plan, all on the terms presented to the Board. The Board also directed
the Company's management to present the terms of such definitive agreements to
the full Board of Directors prior to execution.
On January 7, 2008, the State of Tennessee's TennCare Bureau issued its
RFP. Representatives of UAHC Health Plan attended TennCare's Pre-Proposal
Conference on January 16, 2008. On January 23, 2008, UAHC Health Plan and Molina
filed with TennCare a joint Notice of Interest to Propose with respect to the
RFP. On March 11, 2008, UAHC Health Plan and Molina jointly filed a response to
the RFP. The response included their joint proposal to provide contracted
managed care services in both the TennCare West and East Grand Regions.
On March 13, 2008, at its regular quarterly meeting, the Board of Directors
of the Company reviewed the status of the Molina joint venture. Messrs. Brooks
and Harris and the Company's counsel, Alex L. Parrish, made presentations
regarding the RFP response process and the status of negotiations regarding the
definitive Molina joint venture agreements. Following these presentations and
further discussions among the Directors, the Board of Directors unanimously
authorized the Company's officers to complete negotiations with Molina regarding
the definitive joint venture agreements, including a Purchase Agreement and form
of Shareholder Agreement, and to enter into the same on behalf of the Company.
On March 20, 2008, the Board of Directors held another special meeting to
discuss the terms of the Molina transaction. At the meeting, with all Directors
present, Mr. Brooks and legal counsel reported
12
on the parties' most recent negotiations. Following discussion, the Board of
Directors unanimously voted: (A) to request the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company to call a special meeting of the shareholders of the
Company, to consider and act upon a Company proposal to approve the Purchase
Agreement with Molina and all transactions contemplated therein, including
without limitation the sale to Molina of a minority equity interest in UAHC
Health Plan and the grant to Molina of an option, exercisable at a future date,
to purchase for cash all of the Company's shares of UAHC Health Plan stock; and
(B) to declare the Board's belief that such proposal is fair and in the best
interests of the shareholders and to recommend that the Company's shareholders
should vote for the proposal.
On March 24, 2008, the Company and Molina entered into a definitive
Purchase Agreement, and the Company publicly announced the joint venture with
Molina. Prior to executing the Purchase Agreement, the Company's Board of
Directors was briefed by the Company's senior executives and legal counsel that
morning by telephone on the last negotiation activity preceding completion of
the documents, and the Board of Directors then gave its final approval to the
Company's execution and delivery of the definitive agreement with Molina.
PROPOSAL: THE TRANSACTIONS
The Transactions are summarized below. This summary does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase
Agreement, attached hereto as APPENDIX A (including without limitation the form
of Shareholder Agreement which is Exhibit D in APPENDIX A), which is
incorporated by reference herein. Shareholders are urged to read APPENDIX A to
this proxy statement in its entirety.
INTRODUCTION
On January 7, 2008, the Department of Finance and Administration of the
State of Tennessee, Bureau of TennCare ("TENNCARE"), issued a Request for
Proposals (as since amended, "RFP") for managed care services to be provided in
the East Grand Region and the West Grand Region of Tennessee. The RFP indicates
TennCare's intent to award two contracts in the East Grand Region and two
contracts in the West Grand Region. TennCare's award of the contracts is
scheduled for April 22, 2008, with the signing of the contracts scheduled to
occur no later than May 9, 2008. The performance of the contracts is expected to
start in the West Grand Region on November 1, 2008 and in the East Grand Region
on January 1, 2009. It is expected that each contract will require the
successful bidder to provide comprehensive medical services on a capitated,
full-risk basis to Medicaid beneficiaries assigned to it by TennCare in the
applicable Region.
In response to the RFP, on March 11, 2008, our subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan
of Tennessee, Inc. ("UAHC HEALTH PLAN"), and Molina Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("MOLINA"), jointly submitted a proposal to apply for contracts with
TennCare for both the East and West Grand Regions. The RFP proposal potentially
could result in UAHC Health Plan and Molina jointly receiving two TennCare
contracts (one for each Region), or one TennCare contract for one Region, or no
TennCare contract for either Region. UAHC Health Plan currently provides managed
care services on a modified-risk basis under an existing TennCare contract in
the West Grand Region only, which is expected to end when the anticipated new
TennCare contracts for that Region become effective.
In connection with the joint proposal, on March 24, 2008 we and our
subsidiaries, United American of Tennessee, Inc. and UAHC Health Plan, entered
into a Purchase Agreement with Molina dated as of March 24, 2008 (the "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT"). A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached as APPENDIX A to this
proxy statement and incorporated herein by reference. We and our affiliates
13
have no relationship with Molina other than in respect of the Purchase
Agreement, any agreements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the joint
proposal.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Currently, our wholly-owned subsidiary, United American of Tennessee, Inc
("UAT"), owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of UAHC Health Plan.
Under the Purchase Agreement, if (AND ONLY IF) UAHC Health Plan enters into at
least one of the new TennCare contracts, Molina will become a part owner of UAHC
Health Plan by purchasing newly issued UAHC Health Plan stock from UAHC Health
Plan, either: (A) shares representing 19.9% of the total issued and outstanding
UAHC Health Plan stock, for a purchase price of $4,500,000, in the event UAHC
Health Plan executes one new TennCare contract; or (B) shares representing 49.9%
of the total issued and outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock, for a purchase price
of $18,040,000, in the event UAHC Health Plan executes two new TennCare
contracts. Our subsidiary UAT would continue to own all of the remaining
outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock. The Purchase Agreement requires the stock
purchase closing (the "CLOSING") to occur on a date mutually agreed upon by the
parties that is no earlier than the signing of the full-risk contract(s)
(currently expected to occur by May 9, 2008) and no later than the effective
date(s) of the contract(s) (currently expected to be November 1, 2008 for the
West Grand Region and January 1, 2009 for the East Grand Region), or on such
other date as the parties may mutually agree in writing.
The Purchase Agreement requires the delivery at the Closing of a
Shareholder Agreement among UAHC Health Plan and its shareholders, UAT and
Molina (the "SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT"). The form of the Shareholder Agreement is
an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also requires us to
seek approval from our shareholders of the Purchase Agreement and all
transactions contemplated in it (including without limitation Molina's Purchase
Option, as described below), and makes our obtaining that approval a condition
precedent to the Closing.
Thus, the reason for the Special Meeting of Shareholders to which this
proxy statement pertains is to obtain our shareholders' approval of the Purchase
Agreement and all transactions contemplated in it (together with the Purchase
Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement referred to in it, called the
"TRANSACTIONS" in this proxy statement). The Transactions proposal to be
considered and acted on at the Special Meeting has been carefully reviewed by
the Board of Directors of the Company, who believe the proposal is fair and in
the best interests of the shareholders and who unanimously recommend that you
vote FOR the proposal.
The Transactions will occur ONLY IF UAHC Health Plan receives at least one
contract pursuant to the RFP proposal that it and Molina jointly submitted in
March 2008 to apply for contracts with the Department of Finance and
Administration of the State of Tennessee, Bureau of TennCare, to provide managed
care services in the East and West Grand Regions of Tennessee. TennCare's
announcement of the award of the contracts is scheduled for April 22, 2008, with
the signing of the contracts scheduled to occur no later than May 9, 2008.
The Purchase Agreement may be terminated any time prior to the Closing by
mutual written consent of the parties and in certain other events.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT
The Shareholder Agreement will be entered into at the Closing when Molina
becomes a minority shareholder of UAHC Health Plan. In the Shareholder
Agreement, if and when executed, our subsidiary UAT would grant Molina the
exclusive option to purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock owned by UAT, for a
purchase price described below ("MOLINA'S PURCHASE OPTION"). Molina could
exercise the option
14
any time between the dates that are 24 and 48 months (in the event UAHC Health
Plan executes one new TennCare contract) or 36 and 60 months (in the event UAHC
Health Plan executes two new TennCare contracts) from the effective date of the
new TennCare contract(s). Accordingly, if the joint proposal results in only a
West Grand Region contract (with a November 1, 2008 expected effective date),
Molina could exercise the option between November 1, 2010 and November 1, 2012;
and if the joint proposal results in a West Grand Region contract and an East
Grand Region contract (with an January 1, 2009 expected effective date), Molina
could exercise the option between January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2014.
In addition, Molina could exercise Molina's Purchase Option prior to the
expiration dates described in the preceding paragraph any time that (i) UAHC
Health Plan requires a capital infusion of more than $5,000,000 upon a capital
call by its Board of Directors as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, or
UAHC Health Plan requires additional capital as mandated by TennCare and/or the
Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, and (ii) UAT declines to
contribute its proportionate share, and (iii) Molina elects to and actually does
contribute 100% of the required capital.
Under the Shareholder Agreement, Molina's exercise of its option to
purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock owned by UAT would require it to pay UAT a
purchase price equal to the percentage share of UAHC Health Plan then owned by
UAT multiplied by the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan determined as of the
closing date of the purchase. As used in the Shareholder Agreement, the "Fair
Market Value of UAHC Health Plan" is equal to the sum of (1) UAHC Health Plan's
Medicaid membership multiplied by $345 per Medicaid member, plus (2) UAHC Health
Plan's Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan
membership multiplied by $2,500 per Medicare member, plus (3) the market value
of any Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Program plan business operations of
UAHC Health Plan, plus (4) the sum of capital then held by UAHC Health Plan in
excess of its statutory minimum net worth requirement.
The Shareholder Agreement provides that if the Company shareholders'
approval of the Transactions proposal (as stated in the Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this proxy statement) is not obtained for
any reason and if that closing condition is waived by Molina, Molina's Purchase
Option shall be amended so that Molina will have an option to only acquire the
maximum number of UAT's shares of UAHC Health Plan stock that will permit UAT to
retain a significant continuing business activity as set forth under state and
federal statutes and regulations, and in that event the Transactions (including
the grant of Molina's Purchase Option) will not require shareholder approval.
Also in the Shareholder Agreement, Molina would grant UAT the exclusive
option to purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock owned by Molina, for a purchase
price equal to the percentage share of UAHC Health Plan then owned by Molina
multiplied by the above-defined Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan determined
as of the closing date of the purchase. UAT could exercise the option any time
between the dates that are 60 and 72 months from the effective date of the new
TennCare contract. Accordingly, UAT could exercise the option any time between
November 1, 2013 and November 1, 2014 if the contract effective date for this
purpose is November 1, 2008, or between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 if
the contract effective date for this purpose is January 1, 2009.
Also in the Shareholder Agreement, UAT would grant Molina the exclusive
option (called the "PUT") to require UAT to purchase all UAHC Health Plan stock
owned by Molina for a price equal to the percentage share of UAHC Health Plan
then owned by Molina multiplied by the Total Value of UAHC Health Plan. Molina
could exercise the Put any time between the dates that are 60 and 72 months from
the effective date of the new TennCare contract. Accordingly, Molina could
exercise the Put any time between November 1, 2013 and November 1, 2014 if the
contract effective date for this purpose is November 1, 2008, or between January
1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 if the contract effective date for this
15
purpose is January 1, 2009. As used in the Shareholder Agreement, the "Total
Value of UAHC Health Plan" would be (i) the valuation proposed in writing by
Molina with its notice of exercising the Put, if agreed to by UAT, or (ii) the
alternative valuation proposed by UAT to Molina, or (iii) if Molina and UAT
could not agree upon the Total Value of UAHC Health Plan within 30 days after
Molina's notice of exercising the Put, the valuation determined by arbitration
procedures set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The Shareholder Agreement would require a 12-member Board of Directors of
UAHC Health Plan, with Molina and UAT electing directors in proportion to their
respective ownership interests. If two full-risk TennCare contracts are awarded
to UAHC Health Plan, then certain matters specified in the Shareholder Agreement
would require the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors.
REGULATORY MATTERS
Certain federal and state regulatory requirements must be complied with
before the Transactions are consummated. The Company, UAHC Health Plan and UAT
are not aware of any material governmental consents or approvals that are
required prior to the parties' consummation of the Transactions other than those
described below. It is currently contemplated that if such additional
governmental consents or approvals are required, they will be sought. There can
be no assurance, however, that any such additional consents or approvals will be
obtained.
HART-SCOTT-RODINO ACT
The sale to Molina of a minority interest in UAHC Health Plan is not
subject to the requirements of the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act ("H-S-R ACT")
and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provide that certain acquisition
transactions may not be consummated until certain information has been furnished
to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal
Trade Commission and until certain waiting periods have been terminated or have
expired.
However, a future sale of the remaining stock of UAHC Health Plan, pursuant
to Molina's Purchase Option, may or may not be subject to such H-S-R Act
requirements. This will depend upon whether, at the time of the exercise of
Molina's Purchase Option, (A) the size of the transaction in terms of purchase
price meets the applicable threshold established by the H-S-R Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder (currently $63,100,000) or (b) the size of the
parties to the transaction meets the thresholds established by the H-S-R Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder (currently the acquired party must have
more than $12,600,000 in total assets and the acquiring party must have more
than $126,200,000 in sales or total assets in order for the H-S-R Act's
requirements to apply). These thresholds are subject to change from time to time
by administrative action of the federal government.
It is contemplated that if H-S-R Act filings are required, upon exercise of
Molina's Purchase Option, such filings will be made and the applicable waiting
periods will be complied with by the parties prior to the consummation of any
such sale pursuant to such option.
STATE OF TENNESSEE
Certain informational filings with, and approval by, the Commissioner of
the State of Tennessee's Department of Commerce and Insurance may be required in
connection with the acquisition of shares of stock of a Tennessee health
maintenance organization. We expect that any such requirement with respect to
UAHC Health Plan stock in connection with the Transactions will be timely
observed and satisfied if and when required.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, UAT and UAHC Health Plan,
entered into a Purchase Agreement with Molina dated as of March 24, 2008. Under
the Purchase Agreement, if (and only if) UAHC Health Plan enters into at least
one new TennCare contract pursuant to TennCare's RFP, Molina will become a part
owner of UAHC Health Plan by purchasing newly issued UAHC Health Plan stock from
UAHC Health Plan - either (1) shares representing 19.9% of the total issued and
outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock for a cash purchase price of $4,500,000 in
the event that UAHC Health Plan executes one new TennCare contract; or (2)
shares representing 49.9% of the total issued and outstanding UAHC Health Plan
stock for a cash purchase price of $18,040,000 in the event that UAHC Health
Plan executes two new TennCare contracts. The closing of that purchase of stock
by Molina is dependent upon an award of either one or two new TennCare contracts
to UAHC Health Plan. (See "PROPOSAL: THE TRANSACTIONS - Introduction" above.)
Under the Shareholder Agreement to be executed pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, Molina will be granted an option to purchase all of the remaining
outstanding shares of UAHC Health Plan from UAT during a future period
determined as described under "SUMMARY TERM SHEET - When Molina Can Exercise Its
Option to Buy-Out Our Interest in UAHC Health Plan" above. Exactly when that
period will begin and end depends on facts that cannot yet be known.
Consequently, for the purpose of presenting pro forma financial information in
this proxy statement, we have assumed Molina will exercise its buy-out option on
November 1, 2010(2) (our assumed "OPTION EXERCISE DATE"). It is important that
you realize that this assumption is necessarily made in order to provide an
illustrative pro forma example, and that the actual Option Exercise Date could
be any of a large number of other potential dates.
In the event of the exercise of Molina's Purchase Option pursuant to the
Shareholder Agreement, Molina will purchase substantially all of the Company's
assets, except for cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.(3) The
purchase price payable to UAT by Molina will be an amount in cash equal to the
percentage interest that UAT then owns of the outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock
multiplied by the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan determined as of the
purchase closing date. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health
Plan will equal the sum of (1) its Medicaid membership multiplied by $345 per
Medicaid member, plus (2) its Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Advantage
Special Needs Plan membership multiplied by $2,500 per Medicare member, plus (3)
the market value of its Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Program plan
business operations, if any, plus (4) the sum of capital then held by UAHC
Health Plan in excess of the statutory minimum capital required. None of these
four amounts is currently determinable.
Set forth below is the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007, which has been prepared for
illustrative purposes as if Molina's purchase of all of UAT's UAHC Health Plan
stock pursuant to Molina's buy-out option was
- ----------
(2) Under the Purchase Agreement, November 1, 2010 is the earliest date for
Molina's exercise of its buy-out option under any possible fact situation
(other than certain potential instances of Molina's contributing required
capital to UAHC Health Plan if UAT would decline to contribute its own
proportionate share; see "Also When Molina Can Exercise Its Option to
Buy-Out Our Interest in UAHC Health Plan" in the Summary Term Sheet
on p.3). It is the earliest date that would be possible for that exercise
if UAHC Health Plan received (A) only one new TennCare contract pursuant
to the RFP, (B) for the West Grand Region, and (C) effective
November 1, 2008. Each of those facts potentially could be different, and
even on those facts, Molina could exercise the option as late as
November 1, 2010. At the opposite extreme, Molina potentially could
exercise the option as late as January 1, 2014. See "SUMMARY TERM SHEET -
When Molina Can Exercise Its Option to Buy-Out Our Interests in UAHC Health
Plan" above.
(3) See footnote 1 on page 3 of this proxy statement.
17
consummated as of that date. The consummation of Molina's stock purchase
pursuant to its exercised buy-out option is sometimes called the "BUY-OUT
CLOSING" below. Although a Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations has not been prepared, the pro forma effect on the Company's
consolidated operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2007 if the Buy-Out Closing occurred as of July 1, 2006 is described in Note 2
in the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information below.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are presented for informational purposes only and are subject to a
number of estimates, assumptions and other uncertainties; and they neither
purport to represent what the Company's consolidated results of operations or
financial position actually would have been if the Buy-Out Closing occurred on
the dates specified, nor purport to project the Company's consolidated results
of operations or financial position for any future period or at any future date.
All pro forma adjustments are necessarily based on preliminary estimates and
assumptions and are subject to revision upon Molina's actual exercise of its
buy-out option and the actual Buy-Out Closing. The pro forma financial
information and the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Information contained in this proxy statement should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto and the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007 and in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2007.
The objective of the unaudited pro forma financial information in this
proxy statement is to show what the significant effects on the Company's
historical consolidated financial statements might have been if Molina's
exercise of its buy-out option and the Buy-Out Closing occurred for balance
sheet purposes on December 31, 2007. The pro forma balance sheets are not
necessarily indicative of the effects on the Company's financial position that
would have been attained if such option exercise and the Buy-Out Closing had
occurred then. The pro forma adjustments are based on information currently
available and on certain assumptions, as described in the Notes to the Unaudited
Pro Forma Financial Information below, that management of the Company believes
are necessary and reasonable for a fair presentation of the pro forma financial
information.
The following two Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
as of December 31, 2007, give the effect of the Buy-Out Closing based on the
alternative assumptions that UAHC Health Plan enters into either one or two new
TennCare contracts pursuant to the TennCare RFP.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NOTE 1 - PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEETS
Reflected in the Pro Forma Balance Sheets is the following:
Cash and cash equivalents - Includes the cash from the exercise of the Molina
option to purchase all of UAT's shares of UAHC Health Plan stock. The purchase
price payable to UAT by Molina will be an amount in cash equal to the percentage
interest that UAT then owns of the outstanding UAHC Health Plan stock multiplied
by the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan determined as of the purchase
closing date. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of UAHC Health Plan will
equal the sum of (1) its Medicaid membership (assumed to be approximately
181,000 members if there is one TennCare contract and 388,000 members if there
are two TennCare contracts) multiplied by $345 per Medicaid member, plus (2) its
Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan membership
(assumed to be 815 members) multiplied by $2,500 per Medicare member, plus (3)
the market value of its Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Program plan
business operations, if any (assumed to be zero since there currently are none),
plus (4) the sum of capital then held by UAHC Health Plan in excess of its
statutory minimum net worth requirement. Since it is not possible to reasonably
determine the amount of capital in excess of the minimum net worth requirement
at the assumed Option Exercise Date (November 1, 2010), which will be impacted
by the net earnings or net loss performance of UAHC Health Plan from the assumed
effective date of a new TennCare contract (November 1, 2008) through the assumed
Option Exercise Date (November 1, 2010), we assume the excess capital at the at
the Buy-Out Closing date is equal to the excess capital at the assumed contract
effective date (November 1, 2008). Thus, the estimated cash purchase price is
$58.6 million in the event of one new TennCare contract or $75.7 million in the
event of two new TennCare contracts.
Deferred income taxes - The deferred tax assets as reported at December 31, 2007
are utilized to offset the gain on the sale of the UAHC Health Plan subsidiary
in the pro forma financial statements.
Property and equipment, net - Molina would purchase substantially all of the
physical assets of UAT that relate to UAHC Health Plan. The purchase price
payable to UAT by Molina as described two paragraphs above will be for the
purchase of those assets as well as for the purchase of all of UAT's shares of
UAHC Health Plan stock.
Federal income tax payable - An adjustment is recorded for the estimated tax
liability of $7.2 million in the event of one new TennCare contract, or $13.3
million in the event of two new TennCare contracts, associated with the gain on
the sale of the UAHC Health Plan subsidiary.
NOTE 2 - INCOME STATEMENT
For the purposes of this pro forma analysis, we assume that the exercise by
Molina of its option to purchase all of UAT's shares of UAHC Health Plan stock
will involve the sale of substantially all of the Company's non-cash assets to
Molina; that following the closing of such transaction the Company will
effectively be a corporation with only cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities and no intangible assets or ongoing business operations; and that the
Company will incur only costs and expenses associated with remaining a publicly
held company and efforts to complete an acquisition or enter into a strategic
transaction or alliance with a potential business partner. These costs and
estimates are difficult to estimate at this time as they are dependent on many
factors, including the availability of potential
21
acquisition targets or potential strategic business partners and the time
and effort required to negotiate and complete such transactions.
The unaudited pro forma narrative income statement for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, assuming that the Buy-Out Closing date was July 1, 2006, would
reflect all of the revenue and expenses associated with the Company's only
business operation being eliminated. The only remaining costs of approximately
$3.5 million on a pro forma basis relate to maintaining an ongoing publicly held
company, and costs expended to identify potential acquisition targets or
business partner candidates. The $3.5 million includes salaries of existing
management and professional consulting and financial advisor expense of $0.3
million expected to assist in the completion of a transaction with an
acquisition target or a strategic business partner. The costs associated with
identifying potential acquisition targets or business partner candidates will
continue until such time as an agreement with such a partner is completed or the
Company decides to abandon such efforts. These costs will be offset by net other
income of approximately $3.6 million if there is one TennCare contract or $4.6
million if there are two TennCare contracts, after giving effect to interest
income from the investment of the consideration received from the Buy-Out
Closing, resulting in net earnings on a pro forma basis of approximately $0.1
million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share if there is one TennCare contract,
or $0.7 million or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share if there
are two TennCare contracts, based on 8,734,214 basic and 9,694,360 fully diluted
shares outstanding, respectively.
For the purposes this pro forma analysis, we assume that the Company will also
incur legal expenses for ongoing litigation for which the ultimate liability
cannot be quantified or estimated with any reasonable certainty.
The Company will incur approximately $0.1 million for legal services provided by
the Company's outside counsel and $0.4 million if there is one TennCare
contract, or $1.0 million if there are two TennCare contracts, for ongoing
consulting services provided to the Company in connection with the completion of
the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
In the event of the exercise of Molina's Purchase Option pursuant to the
Shareholder Agreement, Molina will purchase 100% of UAT's remaining interest in
UAHC Health Plan and substantially all of UAT's assets, except for cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities(4). UAT would record the disposition of
these assets and its remaining interest in UAHC Health Plan and a corresponding
gain or loss representing the difference between the proceeds received by UAT
and UAT's carrying value of the assets given up, net of applicable state and
federal income taxes. See "UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION" for
additional information.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
In the event of the exercise of Molina's Purchase Option pursuant to the
Shareholder Agreement, any gain realized from the sale of UAT's interest in UAHC
Health Plan and other assets sold will be taxable at the applicable state and
federal tax rates. The amount of the gain or loss recognized by the Company with
respect to the sale of UAT's remaining interest in UAHC Health Plan and other
assets sold will be measured by the difference between the proceeds received and
the tax basis in the assets and interest sold. UAT files a consolidated tax
return with its parent, the Company, as a consolidated group.
The proposed sale of substantially all of the non-cash assets of the
Company by itself will not produce any separate and independent federal income
tax consequences to the Company's shareholders.

has given or could give rise to a Claim for indemnity under this Agreement (such

after the Indemnitee has made such a determination. In amplification of the

could, give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder.

obligation to do so, but the Indemnitee shall be permitted to do so at the
expense of the indemnifying Party without releasing or compromising the
Indemnitee's rights against the indemnifying Party in respect of the Claim and,

liable to the Indemnitee with respect thereto.

Party disputes the validity or extent of any request for indemnification under

ARTICLE 2
OWNERSHIP, VESTING AND PURCHASE OF SHARES
2.1 OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. After Closing, as defined in the Purchase
Agreement, the Shareholders will own all of the Shares as follows:
MHI - ______ shares
UAHC - _____ shares
2.2 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except as provided in this Agreement, each of
the Shareholders agrees not to Transfer any Shares by any means without offering
to Transfer such Shares to the other Shareholder as set forth in this Section.
(a) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section,
each of the Shareholders (the "Selling Shareholder") hereby grants to the other
Shareholder (the "Acquiring Shareholder), and such Acquiring Shareholder hereby
accepts from the Selling Shareholder, a right of first refusal, as more
specifically set forth in this Section. In the event a Selling Shareholder
receives a bona fide written offer, whether or not solicited, from any
unaffiliated
2
third party, as defined below (the "Third-Party Offer") to purchase any Shares,
and if such Selling Shareholder is willing to accept such offer, then such
Selling Shareholder shall deliver a copy of the Third Party Offer to the
Acquiring Shareholder accompanied by copies of all information previously
delivered to said third-party, along with such Selling Shareholder's written
offer to sell the Shares to the Acquiring Shareholder upon the same terms and
conditions as set forth in such Third-Party Offer (the "Selling Shareholder's
Offer").
(b) The Acquiring Shareholder shall have the option, exercisable
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Selling Shareholder's Offer, to
purchase all of the Shares that are the subject of the Selling Shareholder's
Offer upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Selling Shareholder's
Offer.
(i) If the Selling Shareholder's Offer includes non-cash
consideration (including, but not limited to, promissory note, marketable or
unmarketable securities, or real estate) the Acquiring Shareholder shall propose
similar non-cash consideration, which such Selling Shareholder, at its sole
option, may accept or reject. In the event the Selling Shareholder rejects the
Acquiring Shareholder's proposal of non-cash consideration, the non-cash
consideration set forth in the Selling Shareholder's Offer shall be valued, as
set forth below, and such valuation shall be paid to such Selling Shareholder in
cash in accordance with the other terms and conditions set forth in the Selling
Shareholder's Offer.
(ii) If the Acquiring Shareholder and the Selling Shareholder are
unable to reach agreement through negotiations between themselves within fifteen
(15) days after such Selling Shareholder's written rejection of the Acquiring
Shareholder's proposed non-cash consideration, the value of the non-cash
consideration shall be determined by an independent appraiser in the following
manner:
(A) Within ten (10) business days, each party shall engage
at their sole expense one (1) appraiser with experience in the health care
industry, and such appraisers shall select a third appraiser with experience in
the health care industry, who shall be engaged as the sole appraiser to
determine the value of the non-cash consideration;
(B) Any value of the non-cash consideration determined in
accordance herewith shall, in the absence of fraud or gross negligence, be
binding and conclusive upon the Acquiring Shareholder and the Selling
Shareholder; and
(C) The costs, expenses, and fees of such appraiser shall be
paid one-half (1/2) by the Acquiring Shareholder and the Selling Shareholder.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "unaffiliated third party" means
any individual, person, corporation, partnership or other entity (i) of which
any Selling Shareholder, or an immediate family member of any Selling
Shareholder has thirty-three percent (33%) or less ownership or control, (ii)
which is not under common ownership or control with any Selling Shareholder, an
immediate family member of any Selling Shareholder (where control means
thirty-three percent (33%) or greater voting representation of partners,
shareholders, board of directors or other governing body), and (iii) who is not
an immediate family member of any Selling Shareholder.
3
(d) If the Acquiring Shareholder fails to timely exercise its right of
first refusal granted herein, then the Shares may be Transferred to the proposed
transferee on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer
for up to sixty (60) days, after which the provisions of this Section must again
be complied with before any Transfer.
(e) Notwithstanding that the Shares are transferred to a third-party
in accordance with this Agreement, the right of first refusal granted to the
Acquiring Shareholder shall continue to apply to all Shares and to any
subsequent Transfer.
2.3 TAG-ALONG RIGHTS.
(a) In the event of a proposed Transfer of Shares by a Shareholder (a
"Transferring Shareholder"), each Shareholder (other than the Transferring
Shareholder) shall have the right to participate on the same terms and
conditions and for the same per Share consideration as the Transferring
Shareholder in the Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 2.3. Prior
to any such Transfer, following compliance with Section 2.2, the Transferring
Shareholder shall deliver to the Corporation prompt written notice (the
"Transfer Notice"), which the Corporation will forward to the Shareholders
(other than the Transferring Shareholder, the "Tag-Along Participants") within 5
days of receipt thereof, which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed
Transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred (the
"Transferred Securities") and the percentage (the "Tag Percentage") that such
number of Shares constitute of the total number of Shares owned by such
Transferring Shareholder, (iii) the proposed purchase price, including a
description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the
determination of the fair market value thereof, and (iv) the other material
terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the proposed Transfer
date (which date may not be less than 35 days after delivery to the Tag-Along
Participants of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a
written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Transferred
Securities, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by
the Transferring Shareholder, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale
documentation between the Transferring Shareholder and the Transferee which
shall make provision for the participation of the Tag-Along Participants in such
sale consistent with this Section 2.3.
(b) Each Tag-Along Participant may elect to participate in the
proposed Transfer to the proposed Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice
by giving written notice to the Corporation and to the Transferring Shareholder
within the 15 day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to such
Tag-Along Participant, which notice shall state that such Tag-Along Participant
elects to exercise its rights of tag-along under this Section 2.3 and shall
state the maximum number of shares sought to be Transferred (which number may
not exceed the product of (i) all such Shares owned by such Tag-Along
Participant, multiplied by (ii) the Tag Percentage). Each Tag-Along Participant
shall be deemed to have waived its right of tag-along with respect to the
Transferred Securities hereunder if it fails to give notice within the
prescribed time period. The proposed Transferee of Transferred Securities will
not be obligated to purchase a number of Shares exceeding that set forth in the
Transfer Notice, and in the event such Transferee elects to purchase less than
all of the additional Shares sought to be Transferred by the Tag-Along
Participants, the number of Shares to be Transferred by the Transferring
Shareholder and each such Tag-Along Participant shall be reduced so that each
such Shareholder
4
is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares the proposed
Transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of
Transferred Securities set forth in the Transfer Notice).
(c) Each Tag-Along Participant, if it is exercising its tag-along
rights hereunder, shall deliver to the Transferring Shareholder at the closing
of the Transfer of the Transferring Shareholder's Transferred Securities to the
Transferee certificates representing the Transferred Securities to be
Transferred by such holder, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock
powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the
applicable purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by
wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each Shareholder participating in
a sale pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall receive consideration in the same form
and per share amount after deduction of such Shareholder's proportionate share
of the related expenses. Each Shareholder participating in a sale pursuant to
this Section 2.3 shall agree to make or agree to the same customary
representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring
Shareholder so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the
liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration
to be received by each Shareholder; provided, that any general indemnity given
by the Transferring Shareholder, applicable to liabilities not specific to the
Transferring Shareholder, to the Transferee in connection with such sale shall
be apportioned among the Shareholders participating in a sale pursuant to this
Section 2.3 according to the consideration received by each such Shareholder and
shall not exceed such Shareholder's net proceeds from the sale; provided,
further, that any representation relating specifically to a Shareholder and/or
its ownership of the Equity Securities to be Transferred shall be made only by
that Shareholder. The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under
this Section 2.3 and for the benefit of all Shareholders (it being understood
that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Shareholder for his, her or its sole
benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Shareholders), to
the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Corporation or the Transferee or
acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Shareholders on a pro rata basis,
based on the consideration received by each Shareholder in respect of its Equity
Securities to be Transferred; provided that no Shareholder shall be obligated to
make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction
consummated pursuant to this Section 2.3 (excluding de minimis expenditures).
The proposed Transfer date may be extended beyond the date described in the
Transfer Notice to the extent necessary to obtain required approvals of
Governmental Entities and other required approvals and the Corporation and the
Shareholders shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such approvals.
(d) If the Transferring Shareholder sells or otherwise Transfers to
the Transferee any of its Shares in breach of this Section 2.3, then each
Tag-Along Participant shall have the right to sell to each Transferring
Shareholder, and each Transferring Shareholder undertakes to purchase from each
Tag-Along Participant, the number of Shares that such Tag-Along Participant
would have had the right to sell to the Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.3,
for a per Share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and
conditions on which the Transferee bought such Shares from the Transferring
Shareholder, but without any indemnity being granted by any Tag-Along
Participant to the Transferring Shareholder; provided that nothing contained in
this Section 2.3(d) shall preclude any Shareholder from seeking alternative
remedies against any such Transferring Shareholder as a result of its breach of
this Section 2.3.
5
ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL SHARES
3.1 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT; DIVIDENDS. A Shareholder will be issued
additional Shares by the Corporation whenever, upon a capital call issued by the
Board of Directors of the corporation as set forth below, such Shareholder makes
an additional investment in the Corporation either (a) to provide working
capital reasonably required by the Corporation for its operations, or (b) to
provide capital for acquisitions of equipment or other capital expenditures, (c)
as may be required by the State Agency or DOI, or (d) for other business
purposes as may be reasonably determined by the Corporation for its operations.
Such Shareholder shall be issued the number of Shares as the Board of Directors
and the contributing Shareholder shall agree upon at such time. Nothing herein
shall be construed as requiring or mandating any additional investment by any
Shareholder in the Corporation.
ARTICLE 4
OPTION
4.1 GRANT OF OPTION TO MHI.
(a) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, UAHC grants
to MHI, and MHI accepts from UAHC, the exclusive right and option (the "Option")
to purchase all of UAHC's right, title and interest in and to the stock of the
Corporation then owned by UAHC ("UAHC Stock"). The Option may be exercised at
any time between the dates that are twenty-four (24) months and forty-eight (48)
months (in the event the Corporation executes one (1) Full-Risk Medicaid
Contract), or thirty-six (36) months and sixty (60) months (in the event the
Corporation executes two (2) Full-Risk Medicaid Contracts), from the effective
date of the Full-Risk Medicaid Contract(s) (as described in the Purchase
Agreement). Further, in the event the Corporation executes one (1) Full-Risk
Medicaid Contract, the Option may be exercised at any time (i) the Corporation
requires a capital infusion of more than $5,000,000 upon a capital call by the
Board of Directors as set forth above, or the Corporation requires additional
capital as mandated by the State Agency and/or DOI, and (ii) UAHC declines for
whatever reason to contribute its proportionate share, and (iii) MHI elects to,
and actually contributes one hundred percent (100%) of the required capital.
(b) The purchase price for the UAHC Stock shall be equal to the then
percentage interest UAHC owns of the Corporation multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of the Corporation, as defined herein;
(c) The "Fair Market Value of the Corporation" shall be measured as of
the closing date of the purchase as set forth above, and shall be equal to the
sum of (1) the Medicaid membership multiplied by $345 per Medicaid member), plus
(2) the Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan
membership multiplied by $2,500 per Medicare member, plus (3) the market value
of any Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Program ("PDP") plan business
operations, plus (4) the then sum of capital held by the Corporation in excess
of the statutory minimum capital required. For purposes of establishing the
market value
6
of the Medicare Advantage PDP line of business, the parties will agree upon a
dispute resolution process in the event the parties cannot reach agreement as to
the value of such line of business.
(d) The Option shall be exercised by MHI giving a written notice of
exercise, and preparing and delivering a stock purchase agreement ("UAHC Stock
Purchase Agreement") to UAHC. Such UAHC Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in
form and substance similar to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, such
UAHC Stock Purchase Agreement shall include provisions for indemnification,
non-competition, and non-solicitation that are usual and customary for similar
transactions in which a majority owner is conveying its stock holdings.
(e) If MHI gives UAHC a timely Notice of Exercise and UAHC Stock
Purchase Agreement, UAHC shall (i) execute and deliver the UAHC Stock Purchase
Agreement to MHI within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the MHI's notice of
exercise, and (ii) pursuant to the UAHC Stock Purchase Agreement, close the
purchase and sale of the UAHC Stock within three (3) days thereafter by delivery
of the UAHC Stock to MHI properly endorsed, and accompanied by any other
instruments necessary to transfer the UAHC Stock to MHI.
(f) To the extent not previously conveyed, UAHC shall arrange for its
tangible and intangible assets, and the tangible and intangible assets of its
Affiliates, that are used and useful to the business of the Corporation to be
transferred and conveyed to the Corporation prior to the closing at not cost or
charge. In addition, UAHC shall grant the Corporation a royalty-free license in
perpetuity for Healthtrek for use in Tennessee. Such assets shall include
network contracts, vendor contracts, and software licenses; provided, however,
that such assets shall not include the assets set forth in Exhibit A, attached
hereto. In addition, MHI shall have the right to offer employment at the
Corporation to any employees of UAHC or its Affiliates who primarily worked on
the business and operations of the Corporation, and UAHC shall reasonably
cooperate in conveying such offers of employment to such employees.
(g) All closing costs, including, but not limited to the attorney's
fees of each party, shall be borne solely by the party incurring such costs or
fees.
(h) Further, in the event the shareholder approval described in
Section 4.1.8 of the Purchase Agreement is not obtained for any reason (and such
condition to closing is waived by Buyer), the option to acquire the remaining
Shares by Buyer set forth herein shall be amended so that Buyer shall have an
option to only acquire the maximum number of Shares that will permit UAHC to
retain a significant continuing business activity as set forth under state and
federal statutes and regulations, and therefore the Purchase Agreement shall
not, and the transactions (including the grant of option to MHI) set forth
herein shall not, require shareholder approval.
4.2 GRANT OF OPTION TO UAHC.
(a) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, MHI grants
to UAHC, and UAHC accepts from MHI, the exclusive right and option (the
"Option") to purchase all of MHI's right, title and interest in and to the stock
of the Corporation then owned by MHI ("MHI Stock"). The Option may be exercised
at any time between the dates that are sixty (60)
7
months and seventy-two (72) months from the effective date of the full-risk
Medicaid Contract (as described in the Purchase Agreement).
(b) The purchase price for the MHI Stock shall be equal to the then
percentage interest MHI owns of the Corporation multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of the Corporation.
(c) The Option shall be exercised by UAHC giving a written notice of
exercise, and preparing and delivering a stock purchase agreement ("MHI Stock
Purchase Agreement"), to MHI. Such MHI Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in form
and substance similar to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, such MHI
Stock Purchase Agreement shall include provisions for indemnification,
non-competition, non-solicitation, and true-ups for changes in net worth, IBNR,
and working capital that are usual and customary for similar transactions in
which a minority owner is conveying its stock holdings.
(d) If UAHC gives MHI a timely Notice of Exercise and MHI Stock
Purchase Agreement, MHI shall (i) execute and deliver the MHI Stock Purchase
Agreement to UAHC within fifteen (15) days of delivery of UAHC's notice of
exercise, and (ii) pursuant to the MHI Stock Purchase Agreement, close the
purchase and sale of the MHI Stock within three (3) days thereafter by delivery
of the MHI Stock to UAHC properly endorsed, and accompanied by any other
instruments necessary to transfer the MHI Stock to UAHC.
(e) All closing costs, including, but not limited to the attorney's
fees of each party, shall be borne solely by the party incurring such costs or
fees.
4.3 GRANT OF PUT TO MHI.
(a) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, UAHC grants
to MHI, and MHI accepts from UAHC, the exclusive right and option to require
UAHC to purchase all of the MHI Stock ("Put"). The Put may be exercised at any
time between the dates that are sixty (60) months and seventy-two (72) months
from the effective date of the full-risk Medicaid Contract (as described in the
Purchase Agreement).
(b) The purchase price for the MHI Stock shall be equal to the then
percentage interest MHI owns of the Corporation multiplied by the Total Value of
the Corporation as set forth below.
(c) The Put shall be exercised by MHI giving a written notice of
exercise, and preparing and delivering the MHI Stock Purchase Agreement to UAHC,
along with the proposed valuation of the Corporation (the "Total Value of the
Corporation"). Such MHI Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in form and substance
similar to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, such MHI Stock Purchase
Agreement shall include provisions for indemnification, non-competition, and
non-solicitation that are usual and customary for similar transactions in which
a minority owner is conveying its stock holdings.
(d) If MHI delivers to UAHC a timely Notice of Exercise and MHI Stock
Purchase Agreement, UAHC shall execute and deliver the MHI Stock Purchase
Agreement to MHI within fifteen (15) days of delivery of MHI's notice of
exercise. At such time, UAHC shall
8
either agree to the Total Value of the Corporation proposed by MHI or shall
propose an alternative Total Value of the Corporation. If the parties cannot
agree upon the Total Value of the Corporation within thirty (30) days of the
date of the Notice of Exercise, the parties shall arbitrate the Total Value of
the Corporation in accordance with the arbitration procedures set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
(e) Pursuant to, and in accordance with, the MHI Stock Purchase
Agreement, the parties shall close the purchase and sale of the MHI Stock by
delivery of the purchase price as soon as possible, but in no event more than
ninety (90) days after the date of the Notice of Exercise. Concurrently
therewith, MHI shall deliver to UAHC the MHI Stock properly endorsed, and
accompanied by any other instruments necessary to transfer the MHI Stock to
UAHC.
(f) All closing costs, including, but not limited to the attorney's
fees of each party, shall be borne solely by the party incurring such costs or
fees.
