OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE. On September 30, 2003, Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it had reached a settlement with its largest unsecured creditor, R2 Investments LDC ("R2"), with respect to the Company's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization as modified (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the settlement, R2 will withdraw the objections it has raised to the Plan and has indicated that it will vote in favor of the Plan. The settlement, together with proposed modifications to the Plan which were filed by Magellan on Thursday, September 25, 2003 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Court") (the "Plan Modifications"), as described below, provide for a larger board of directors for reorganized Magellan, for an additional designee of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Magellan, who is acceptable to R2, to be a member of the reorganized Company's initial board of directors and for certain additional rights for Magellan and other shareholders relating to the post-reorganization circumstances of Magellan. The settlement was signed and filed with the Court late on September 29, 2003. A copy of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement with respect to the Plan, each as filed with the Court, were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibits 2(a) and 2(b), respectively, to Magellan's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated August 19, 2003. The Plan Modifications will, among other things: o expand the initial Board of Directors of the reorganized Company from seven members to nine, of whom (i) three will be designated by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (of which designees two acceptable to R2 have been named); (ii) four will be appointed by Onex Corporation and affiliated entities ("Onex") (which are investing or backstopping a $150 million equity investment in Magellan as part of the Plan), and (iii) two will be members of Magellan's management; o afford stockholders of reorganized Magellan certain tag-along rights with respect to sales by Onex or R2 of more than 15% of the outstanding shares of reorganized Magellan; and o grant R2 co-investment rights with Onex in the event Onex makes a tender offer for reorganized Magellan shares, and grants like co-investment rights to Onex in the event R2 makes a tender offer for reorganized Magellan shares. The first two of these modifications were reflected in the forms of Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws of reorganized Magellan filed with the Court on September 25, 2003 and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to Magellan's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 26, 2003. The third of the modifications will be reflected in the definitive agreement to be entered into by R2 and Onex. The Plan Modifications also include a modification of the 2 management incentive plan to be adopted in connection with the Plan to authorize the issuance of stock option or other stock awards, for a period of not more than 10 years after consummation of the Plan, for not more than 15% of the shares outstanding upon consummation of the Plan, and also provide for certain stock awards to be issued at the time of consummation of the Plan.
