Expiration of Waiting Period under HSR
Act

The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act), expired at
11:59 p.m. EST on February13, 2017 in connection with the
proposed acquisition of Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc. (the
Company) by UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UnitedHealth Group).

As previously announced on January9, 2017, UnitedHealth Group,
Spartan Merger Sub 1, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of UnitedHealth Group (the Offeror), Spartan Merger Sub 2, LLC, a
direct wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group (Merger Sub
2), and the Company have entered into an agreement and plan of
reorganization (the Merger Agreement) to which the Offeror will
offer to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement (such offer, the Offer), for
each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the Shares):

$11.40 in cash, without interest and less any applicable
withholding taxes (the default cash consideration); and
a number of shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, equal to the amount obtained by
dividing $45.60 by the volume weighted average of the closing
sale prices per share of UnitedHealth Group common stock on
the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE), as reported in the
New York City edition of The Wall Street Journal on
each of the five full consecutive trading days ending on and
including the third business day prior to the final
expiration date of the offer, together with cash in lieu of
any fractional shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock,
without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes
(the default stock consideration).

In lieu of delivering the default cash consideration and default
stock consideration, UnitedHealth Group may, by providing written
notice to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the tenth business day prior to the final expiration
date of the offer, deliver (i)an amount in cash greater than the
default cash consideration and not to exceed $27.93 per Share,
without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (such
cash consideration, including as it may be increased at
UnitedHealth Groups election, the applicable cash consideration),
and (ii)a number of shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock
equal to (a) $57.00 minus the applicable cash consideration,
divided by (b)the volume weighted average of the closing sale
prices per share of UnitedHealth Group common stock on the NYSE,
as reported in the New York City edition of The Wall Street
Journal
on each of the five full consecutive trading days
ending on and including the third business day prior to the final
expiration date of the offer, together with cash in lieu of any
fractional shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock, without
interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions,
following the completion of the Offer, the Offeror will be merged
with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the
surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of
UnitedHealth Group. Immediately after, the Company will merge
with and into Spartan Merger Sub 2, LLC, a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group (Merger Sub 2), with Merger Sub
2 surviving such merger.

The expiration of the HSR Act waiting period satisfies one of the
conditions required to consummate the Offer. The closing of the
Offer will remain subject to other customary conditions,
including the tender of a majority of the outstanding Shares.
