On December 6, 2007, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”), an independent committee comprised of two former Minnesota Supreme Court Justices, has concluded its review of claims relating to the Company’s historical stock option practices brought against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in federal and state derivative lawsuits, consolidated as In re UnitedHealth Group Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota and In re UnitedHealth Group Inc. Derivative Litigation filed in the Hennepin County District Court, State of Minnesota (collectively the “derivative actions”). A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Based on its exhaustive review, the SLC reached settlement agreements on behalf of the Company with the Company’s former Chairman and CEO William W. McGuire, M.D. (the “McGuire Agreement”), former General Counsel David J. Lubben (the “Lubben Agreement”), and former director William G. Spears (the “Spears Agreement” and together with the McGuire Agreement and the Lubben Agreement, the “Settlement Agreements”).

In addition, the SLC concluded that all claims against all named defendants in the derivative actions, including current and former Company officers and directors should be dismissed. The SLC’s conclusions are reflected in the Report of the Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC Report”) delivered to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “Federal Court”) and the Hennepin County District Court, State of Minnesota (the “State Court”) on December 6, 2007.
