Surplus notes are unsecured obligations of Anthem Insurance and are subordinate in right of payment to all of
Anthem Insurance’s existing and future indebtedness. Any payment of interest or principal on the surplus notes may
be made only with the prior approval of the Indiana Department of Insurance (“DOI”), and only out of capital and
surplus funds of Anthem Insurance that the DOI determines to be available for the payment under Indiana
insurance laws. For statutory accounting purposes, the surplus notes are considered a part of capital and surplus
of Anthem Insurance.
Senior guaranteed notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Anthem Insurance and will rank equally in
right of payment with all other existing and future senior indebtedness of Anthem Insurance.
On November 2, 2001, Anthem issued 4,600,000 of 6.00% Equity Security Units (see Note 2). Each Unit contains a
5.95% subordinated debenture. The debentures are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all of
Anthems existing and future senior indebtedness. The debentures will mature on November 15, 2006. Each debenture
will initially bear interest at the rate of 5.95% per year, payable quarterly, commencing February 15, 2002, subject to
Anthems rights to defer these payments.
On November 5, 2001, Anthem and Anthem Insurance entered into two new unsecured revolving credit facilities
totaling $800.0. Anthem is jointly and severally liable for all borrowings under the facilities. Anthem also will be
permitted to be a borrower under the facilities, if the Indiana Insurance Commissioner approves Anthem Insurance’s
joint liability for Anthem’s obligations under the facilities. Upon execution of these facilities, Anthem Insurance
terminated its prior $300.0 unsecured revolving facility. Borrowings under these facilities will bear interest at rates, as
defined in the agreements, which generally provide for three different interest rate alternatives. One facility, which
provides for borrowings of up to $400.0, expires on November 5, 2006. The second facility, which provides for
borrowings of up to $400.0, expires on November 4, 2002. Certain amounts outstanding under this facility at
November 4, 2002, as defined in the agreement, may be converted into a one-year term loan at the option of Anthem
and Anthem Insurance. Each credit agreement requires Anthem to maintain certain financial ratios and contains
minimal restrictive covenants. Availability under these facilities is reduced by the amount of any commercial paper
outstanding. No amounts were outstanding under the current or prior facilities at December 31, 2001 or 2000 or
during the years then ended.
