• certain changes in law that could adversely affect a participant in the financing facility.
In addition, in connection with the financing facility, we guaranteed the payment of the semi-annual
distributions and any other amounts payable by one of our subsidiaries to the financing facility participants under
certain circumstances provided under the financing facility. Also in connection with the financing facility, we
entered into the 2007 Swap with a non-U.S. bank affiliated with one of the financing facility participants (see
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements). Under the 2007 Swap agreement, we pay a floating payment in
an amount equal to LIBOR times a notional principal amount and receive a fixed payment in an amount equal to
4.294% times the same notional principal amount from the non-U.S. bank counterparty in return in accordance
with a schedule set forth in the 2007 Swap agreement.
Senior Notes
On May 18, 2007, we issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2017.
On May 31, 2007, we issued an additional $100 million of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2017 which were
consolidated with, and constitute the same series as, the Senior Notes issued on May 18, 2007 (collectively, the
“Senior Notes”). The aggregate net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were $393.5 million and were
used to repay outstanding debt.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes limits our ability to incur certain liens, or consolidate, merge or
sell all or substantially all of our assets. In the event of the occurrence of both (1) a change of control of Health
Net, Inc. and (2) a below investment grade rating by any two of Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, within a specified period, we will be required to make an offer to purchase
the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of repurchase. As of December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the covenants
under the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, prior to maturity at
our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
• 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding to be redeemed; or
• the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the
date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 30 basis points
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.
Each of the following will be an Event of Default under the indenture governing the Senior Notes:
• failure to pay interest for 30 days after the date payment is due and payable; provided that an extension
of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes shall not
constitute a failure to pay interest;
• failure to pay principal or premium, if any, on any note when due, either at maturity, upon any
redemption, by declaration or otherwise;
• failure to perform any other covenant or agreement in the notes or indenture for a period of 60 days
after notice that performance was required;
• (A) our failure or the failure of any of our subsidiaries to pay indebtedness for money we borrowed or
any of our subsidiaries borrowed in an aggregate principal amount of at least $50,000,000, at the later
of final maturity and the expiration of any related applicable grace period and such defaulted payment
shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days after notice or (B) acceleration of the
