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

Effective March 11, 2013, the board of directors of Molina Healthcare, Inc., acting pursuant to the company’s bylaws, expanded the size of the board from nine to eleven, and elected each of Steven James, Dale Wolf, and Daniel Cooperman as directors.

Steven James was elected as a class II director to fill an existing vacancy in that class. His term as a class II director will expire at the company’s 2013 annual meeting. Dale Wolf was elected as a new class III director. Because this board seat is a newly created directorship, under the company’s bylaws Mr. Wolf’s election to such class will be submitted to the shareholders for ratification at the company’s 2013 annual meeting. Daniel Cooperman was elected as a new class I director. Because this board seat is also a newly created directorship, under the company’s bylaws Mr. Cooperman’s election to such class will be submitted to the shareholders for ratification at the company’s 2013 annual meeting. Pursuant to the recommendation of the nominating committee, the board of directors intends to recommend that the stockholders ratify the election of each of Messrs. James, Wolf, and Cooperman at the company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders.

The committee assignments of the new directors will be determined at a later date. There are no arrangements or understanding between any of Messrs. James, Wolf, or Cooperman and the company or its officers or directors pursuant to which Messrs. James, Wolf, or Cooperman was selected as a director, nor are there any transactions between any of Messrs. James, Wolf, or Cooperman and the company or its officers or directors that would be required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The three new directors will receive the standard compensation amounts payable to non-employee directors of the company as described in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2012.
