On March 10, 2021, Humana Inc. (the “Company”) made the following communication available to the Company’s employees:
Highlights
| • | You may have the right to vote on items being presented at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) |
| • | The Company’s Annual Meeting is scheduled for April 22, 2021 and will be held via a live audio webcast accessible at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HUM2021 |
Exercise your voting privilege as a Humana stockholder
Humana associates who participate in our Company’s Retirement Savings Plan 401(k) and have invested funds in the Humana Common Stock Fund have the right to vote on items being presented at this year’s Annual Meeting, scheduled for April 22, 2021. You may submit one vote for each share held in your Humana Common Stock account as of February 22, 2021, the record date for this Annual Meeting.
What documents do you need to vote?
Every year, Humana produces a document - the proxy statement - that details all of the information the Company’s stockholders need in order to make informed votes. The proxy becomes available to stockholders and the public after Humana files it with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2021. In order to vote, you must also receive an official “voting card.”
When will you receive the proxy statement and voting card?
Starting March 10, 2021, all stockholders who have (recently or in prior years) successfully submitted electronic requests for a proxy statement and voting card will then receive - via the e-mail address you designated during the online-registration process - a proxy statement and voting card. (Please watch for e-mail from ID@ProxyVote.com.) If you did not sign up for electronic delivery of these materials, you’ll receive a “Notice and Access Card” in the mail at home regarding the material.
When can participants in the Humana Retirement Savings Plan vote?
If you wish to vote, you may do so AFTER you receive your voting card. You then must vote BEFORE 11:59 p.m., EDT on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, through Humana’s Retirement Savings Plan Trustee - Charles Schwab - with Broadridge acting as tabulator. If your voting instructions are received by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, the Trustee will submit a proxy that reflects your instructions. If you do not give voting instructions (or give them late), the Trustee will vote your interest in the Humana Common Stock Fund in the same proportion as the shares attributed to the Humana Retirement Savings Plan actually voted. Humana’s Annual Meeting will be held on April 22, 2021.
Whom do you contact for answers to your stockholder-voting-process questions?
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph M. Ruschell, Corporate Secretary via email at CorporateSecretary@humana.com.
On March 10, 2021, the Company distributed the following “Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials” to its stockholders as of the record date of February 22, 2021.
