     This Amendment Number 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on January 16, 2004, the Amendment Number 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 11, 2005 (the “First Amendment”), the Amendment Number 2 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 27, 2005 (the “Second Amendment”), the Amendment Number 3 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 7, 2005 (the “Third Amendment”) and the Amendment Number 4 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on November 1, 2005 (the “Fourth Amendment,” together with the Original Schedule 13D, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Ordinary Common Stock , par value $.01 per share (“Ordinary Common Stock”), of Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) previously filed by Magellan Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Holdings”), Onex Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Partners”), Onex Partners GP LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Partners GP LP”), Onex Partners GP Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Partners GP”), Onex Corporation, an Ontario corporation (“Onex”), and Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz (“Mr. Schwartz,” together with Holdings, Partners, Partners GP LP, Partners GP and Onex, the “Reporting Persons”). Rights to such Ordinary Common Stock were acquired pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of December 18, 2003, between the Issuer and Holdings (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), whereby Holdings purchased 8,415,580 shares of Multiple and Variable Vote Restricted Convertible Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“MV Common Stock”) of the Issuer, which are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the same number of shares of Ordinary Common stock.
     Except as specifically provided herein, this Fifth Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Holdings has sold 3,762,713 shares of MV Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten offering, its entire position in the Issuer.
     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the terms of the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code dated August 18, 2003, as amended (the “Plan of Reorganization”), Holdings has an outstanding commitment to purchase up to an additional 12,781 shares of MV Common Stock at a price of $9.78 per share, upon settlement of disputed claims of certain of the Issuer’s creditors. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Reporting Person’s investment strategy, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s Ordinary Common Stock in particular, as well as other developments. Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire shares of Ordinary Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to the availability of such shares at prices deemed favorable, the Issuer’s business or financial condition and to other factors and conditions the Reporting Persons deem appropriate, and may dispose of any shares it may acquire through open market or privately negotiated transactions.
     Except as set forth above in the two immediately preceding paragraphs, no Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     (a) and (b). As of the date hereof, Holdings beneficially owns 0 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (which may be obtained at any time by conversion of shares of MV Common Stock held by Holdings), which constitutes 0% of the Issuer’s shares of Ordinary Common Stock. Shares beneficially owned by Holdings may be deemed as beneficially owned by each of Partners, Partners GP LP, Partners GP and Onex. As discussed above, such shares constitute 0% of the Issuer’s shares of Ordinary Common Stock. Mr. Schwartz may be deemed a beneficial owner of shares of Ordinary Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons but disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
     (c) On November 9, 2005, Holdings sold 3,762,713 shares of MV Common Stock at a per share price of $28.18 in an underwritten offering.
     (d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of Ordinary Common Stock or MV Common Stock, except that limited partners of the Reporting Persons may receive distributions including a portion of such dividends or proceeds.
     (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the MV Common Stock on November 9, 2005.
