To Our Shareholders:
October 30, 2001, was a milestone for Anthem as
the “ATH” symbol moved across the New York Stock
Exchange ticker for the first time.
The completion of our demutualization and
the very successful Initial Public Offering of Anthem,
Inc. stock was a reaffirmation that Anthem is a
strong, vibrant company positioned to be even more
successful in the future. We are proud that our IPO
was received enthusiastically by the investment
community and was the 23rd largest IPO in history.
We view the conversion to a public company as another
“great stride” as we meet the needs of our customers
and our shareholders.
Anthem, Inc. board members and leadership team celebrate the
closing of Anthem’s first day of trading from the bell podium at the
New York Stock Exchange.
