Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the extension of the closing deadline for the Company's acquisitions of Medicare Advantage assets from Aetna and Humana.

On December 30, 2016, both sellers notified the Company of their election to extend this "End Date" to August 31, 2017.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Acquisition Status: The acquisitions remain pending and have not closed as of the report date.
- Contractual Terms: Under Section 8.01(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreements, the extended deadline of August 31, 2017, allows the transactions to proceed beyond the original year-end cutoff.
- Termination Rights: If the closing does not occur by the new End Date, either the Company or the applicable Seller retains the right to terminate the agreement.
- Regulatory Note: The information provided is furnished under Regulation FD and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
