Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

(e)

On June 25, 2009, the Organization & Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Humana Inc. (the “Company”) approved certain amendments (each an “Amendment,” and collectively, the “Amendments”) to the Humana Retirement and Savings Plan (the “HRSP”), the Supplemental Executive Retirement and Savings Plan (the “SERP”), the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), and the form of stock option agreements under the 2003 Plan (the “Stock Option Agreements,” and together with the HRSP, the SERP, and the 2003 Plan, the “Plans”).

The Amendments generally provide that:

 

(1)

The definition of eligible retirement under each of the Plans shall be modified to mean a combination of age and years of service with the Company totaling 65 or greater, with a minimum required age of 55 and a minimum requirement of five years of service (the “Retirement Eligibility Requirement”);

 

(2)

In calculating years of service for purposes of the Retirement Eligibility Requirement, a Participant that experiences a Termination of Employment (as defined in the HRSP) and is later rehired by the Company, is credited with service prior to the Termination of Employment only if the period between the Participant’s Termination of Employment date and the date of rehire is less than the lesser of (x) three years, and (y) the period of continuous service credited to the Participant prior to the Termination of Employment date; and

 

(3)

With respect to the 2003 Plan and the Stock Option Agreements, on the retirement date of a Participant who has satisfied the new Retirement Eligibility Requirement:

 

(a)

any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with a grant date on or after January 1, 2010 (x) that have vested as of the retirement date of that Participant will be exercisable within two years of such retirement date, and (y) that have not vested as of the retirement date of that Participant will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedule and will be exercisable within two years of the vesting date of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; and

 

(b)

any outstanding Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units with a grant date on or after January 1, 2010 will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedule.

---

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other named executive officers participate in each of the Plans. Except as described above, the Amendments do not affect the payments owed to the named executive officers upon retirement. Other than as disclosed in item (3) above, the Amendments do not change the benefits available to Participants under the Plans.
