[Annual Board Retainer X 5] divided by [the closing price of the WellPoint, Inc. common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders] = Number of shares of the Annual Full Value Share Grant.

Deferral of Full Value Share Grants:

The Initial Full Value Share Grant and each Annual Full Value Share Grant will be deferred for a minimum period of 5 years from the date of the Grant (“Deferral Period”) in accordance with the terms of the Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Such Grants shall not be distributed to the Directors until the earlier of the expiration of the Deferral Period or the date on which a Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.
