Humana Prices $3.0 Billion Debt OfferingHumana Inc. (the "company") (NYSE: HUM) announced today that it has priced a public offering of $3.0 billion in senior notes. These senior notes are comprised of $1,500 million of the company's 0.650 percent senior notes, due 2023 (the "2023 notes"), at 99.933 percent of the principal amount, $750 million of the company's 1.350 percent senior notes, due 2027 (the "2027 notes"), at 99.905 percent of the principal amount and $750 million of the company's 2.150 percent senior notes, due 2032 (the "2032 notes"), at 99.804 percent of the principal amount (collectively, the "Senior Notes Offerings"). The Senior Notes Offerings are expected to close on August 3, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The company expects net proceeds from the Senior Notes Offerings will be approximately $2.973 billion, after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the Senior Notes Offerings, together with cash on hand and borrowings under its $500 million delayed draw term loan to fund the approximately $5.7 billion purchase price of the acquisition of Kindred at Home, which includes the assumption of approximately $1.9 billion of Kindred at Home's indebtedness and is net of its existing 40% equity interest (the "Acquisition"), and to pay related fees and expenses. The closing of the Senior Notes Offerings are not conditioned on, and will be consummated prior to, closing of the Acquisition. If (i) the Acquisition has not been completed by January 22, 2022 or (ii) prior to such date, the stock purchase agreement relating to the Acquisition is terminated in accordance with its terms, the company must redeem all of the 2023 notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date. If the Acquisition is not consummated, the company will use the proceeds of the 2027 notes and 2032 notes for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of existing indebtedness.

Cautionary Statement This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana's executive officers, the words or phrases like "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "likely will result," "estimates," "projects" or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the company's SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:
The spread and impact of COVID-19, or actions taken to mitigate this spread, could have material and adverse effects on Humana's ability to operate effectively, including as a result of the complete or partial closure of facilities or labor shortages. Disruptions in public and private infrastructure, including communications, availability of in-person sales and marketing channels, financial services and supply chains, could materially and adversely disrupt the company's normal business operations. Humana has transitioned a significant subset of its employee population to a remote work environment in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, as have a number of the company's third-party service providers, which may exacerbate certain risks to Humana's business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks, and increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information about the company or its members or other third-parties. The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity, including the businesses of some of Humana's commercial customers, and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. In addition to disrupting Humana's operations, these developments may adversely affect the timing of commercial customer premium collections and corresponding claim payments, the value of the company's investment portfolio, or future liquidity needs. The ongoing, heightened uncertainty created by the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact to Humana of COVID-19. Humana is continuing to monitor the spread of COVID-19, changes to the company's benefit coverages, and the ongoing costs and business impacts of dealing with COVID-19, including the potential costs and impacts associated with lifting or reimposing restrictions on movement and economic activity, the timing and degree in resumption of demand for deferred healthcare services, the pace of administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the effectiveness of those vaccines, and related risks. The magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on Humana's business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows is uncertain, but such impacts could be material to the company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:
