Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Item 7.01 of the Form 8-K contains “forward-looking”
statements that are made to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that
are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future
events or conditions, or that include words such as “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” and similar expressions are forward-looking
statements. For example, statements regarding the Companys 2016
and 2017 financial outlook contain forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties that may cause WellCare’s actual future results to
differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, the outcome of any protests or
litigation related to Medicaid awards, the approval of Medicaid
contracts by the Centers of Medicare Medicaid Services, any
changes to programs or contracts, WellCare’s ability to address
operational challenges relating to the implementation of the
contract requirements, including, but not limited to, meeting the
requirements of readiness reviews, WellCare’s>progress on top
priorities such as improving health care quality and access,
ensuring a competitive cost position, and delivering prudent,
profitable growth, WellCare’s ability to effectively estimate
and manage growth, potential reductions in Medicaid revenue,
WellCare’s ability to estimate and manage medical benefits
expense effectively, including through its vendors, its ability
to negotiate actuarially sound rates, especially in new programs
with limited experience, and WellCare’s ability to comply with
the terms of the Corporate Integrity Agreement. Given the risks
and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, any of
WellCare’s forward-looking statements could be incorrect and
investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of our
forward-looking statements.

Additional information concerning these and other important risks
and uncertainties can be found in WellCares filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), included under the
captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in
WellCares Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December

period ended September 30, 2016, and other filings by WellCare
with the SEC, which contain discussions of WellCare’s business
and the various factors that may affect it. Subsequent events and
developments may cause actual results to differ, perhaps
materially, from WellCare’s forward-looking statements. WellCare
undertakes no duty to update these forward-looking statements to
reflect any future events, developments, or otherwise.
