The Merger Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include projections as to the anticipated benefits of the Merger Transaction as well as statements regarding the impact of the Merger Transaction on UnitedHealth Group's and Amedisys' business and future financial and operating results, the amount and timing of synergies from the Merger Transaction and the closing date for the Merger Transaction.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Amedisys' business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Amedisys' control. Amedisys' actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include, among other things, (1) the termination of or occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or the inability to complete the Merger Transaction on the anticipated terms and timetable, (2) the inability to complete the Merger Transaction due to the failure to satisfy all of the conditions to closing in a timely manner or at all, or the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the Merger Transaction is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated, (3) the effect of the pendency of the Merger Transaction on Amedisys' ability to maintain relationships with its patients, payers and providers and retain its management and key employees, (4) costs related to the Merger Transaction, (5) the diversion of management's time and attention from ordinary course business operations to completion of the Merger Transaction and integration matters, and (6) the inability to complete the Divestiture, due to failure to satisfy all of the conditions to closing in a timely manner or at all. The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere. Additional information concerning risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in UnitedHealth Group's and Amedisys' respective filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the risk factors discussed in Amedisys' most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and future filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement made in this communication is based only on information currently available to Amedisys and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Amedisys undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. You are cautioned not to rely on Amedisys' forward-looking statements.
