Stock Cost Basis Information
 
Some UnitedHealth Group shareholders were shareholders in predecessor companies that we acquired in tax-free stock-for-stock exchange transactions. In these cases, the shareholder's cost basis in the predecessor company generally carries forward to their UnitedHealth Group shares. We have provided the following stock exchange ratio information to assist in the calculation of cost basis for these situations. For questions relating to tax issues, please consult a professional tax advisor.
