Re: Employment Agreement
Dear Xxxx:
I am writing to confirm the intent and understanding of the Compensation and
Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of
UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the "Company") as it relates to the annual
stock option grant you are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2(b) of your
employment agreement with the Company. It is the Committee's intent and
understanding that the minimum option grant set forth in such section shall be
adjusted to reflect any stock splits, consolidations or stock dividends in the
Company's common stock occurring after the effective date of your employment
agreement. Therefore, as a result of the Company's two-for-one stock split that
was payable December 22, 2000, you are currently entitled to receive options to
purchase a minimum of 650,000 shares of the Company's common stock annually.
Sincerely,
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx
Chairman
Compensation and Human Resources Committee
