On October 3, 2011, Triple-S Management Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on October 1, 2011, the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration (“ASES”) notified Triple-S Salud, Inc. (“Triple-S”) that it had been selected to administer healthcare services for the Metro North, North, San Juan, Northeast and West regions of the Puerto Rico Government’s health insurance program (Medicaid), known as MiSalud, for a 20-month term commencing on November 1, 2011.
The appointment of Triple-S is subject to the execution of a definitive contract with ASES and the approval of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. While there can be no assurance that the parties will reach agreement, the Company expects to conclude negotiations with ASES within a week.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
