As previously disclosed, on January 5, 2021, Change Healthcare Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (“UnitedHealth Group”), pursuant to which UnitedHealth Group will acquire the Company (the “Merger”). The obligation of the parties to consummate the Merger is subject to, among other things, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), applicable to the Merger. As previously disclosed, on March 24, 2021, the Company and UnitedHealth Group each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (collectively, the “Second Request”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the DOJ’s review of the Merger.
On August 7, 2021, the Company and UnitedHealth Group entered into a timing agreement with the DOJ pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, not to consummate the Merger before 120 days following the date on which both parties have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request unless they have received written notice from the DOJ prior to the end of such 120-day period that the DOJ has closed its investigation of the pending Merger. In addition, both parties agreed to not certify substantial compliance with the Second Request before September 15, 2021. The Company and UnitedHealth Group have been working cooperatively with the DOJ and will continue to do so.
