Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Magellan Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today made available to shareholders, in connection with its upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 16, 2006, certain information regarding compensatory payments made to its three senior executive officers supplementing the information contained in the Board of Directors’ Proxy Statement dated March 31, 2006. As provided by their respective employment agreements entered into in 2004 (which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Reports for 2004 and 2005), these executives were entitled to receive certain tax gross up payments with respect to equity-based compensation awarded to them in 2004. Such payments were initially estimated and, as estimated, paid in 2004, as indicated in the Proxy Statement. As provided by the employment agreements, adjustments in the amounts so payable to them, based on their actual tax liability relating to such awards, were made in 2005 and are required to be made in 2006. The additional information provides the details about the amounts of these adjustment payments, which were inadvertently omitted from the Proxy Statement, and revises the information included in the Proxy Statement to reflect the total amount of the tax gross up payments made and to be made to them with regard to the equity-based compensation awarded to them in 2004. A copy of the additional information made available to shareholders is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
