Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 24, 2012, AMERIGROUP Corporation (the “Company”) completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 9, 2012, among the Company, WellPoint, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“WellPoint”), and WellPoint Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of WellPoint (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company was acquired by WellPoint through a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of WellPoint (the “Surviving Corporation”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Company common stock (other than treasury shares held by the Company and any shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by WellPoint, Merger Sub, any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries or any person who properly demanded statutory appraisal of their shares) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $92.00, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), (ii) each option to acquire Company common stock that was outstanding and vested by its terms (including by reason of the Merger) at the Effective Time was canceled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration minus the exercise price per share of the option, (iii) each option to acquire Company common stock that was outstanding but unvested by its terms at the Effective Time was converted into an option to acquire WellPoint common stock, (iv) each Company equity award, including shares of restricted Company common stock and restricted stock units, that was outstanding and vested by its terms (including by reason of the Merger) at the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration per share of the equity award and (v) all other Company equity awards were converted into equity awards in respect of shares of WellPoint common stock.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 9, 2012, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 24, 2012, in connection with the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Merger had been completed, and requested that trading of Company common stock on the NYSE be suspended on December 24, 2012. In addition, the Company requested that the NYSE file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to delist Company common stock from the NYSE and deregister Company common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on December 24, 2012. The Company intends to file a certificate on Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

The information set forth in Items 2.01 and 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Effective Time, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated in its entirety and the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, became the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
