Honorable Dave Jones Insurance Commissioner California Department of Insurance Sacramento, California

Dear Commissioner:

Pursuant to your instructions, an examination was made of the

ANTHEM BLUE CROSS LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY

(hereinafter also referred to as the Company) at the primary location of its books and

records at 120 S. Via Merida, Thousand Oaks, California 91362. The Company’s

statutory office is located at 21555 Oxnard Street, Woodland Hills, California 91367.

SCOPE OF EXAMINATION

We have performed our multi-state examination of the Company. The previous

examination of the Company was made as of December 31, 2009. This examination

covers the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013. The examination

was conducted in accordance with the National Association of Insurance

Commissioners’ Financial Condition Examiners’ Handbook (Handbook). The Handbook

requires the planning and performance of the examination to evaluate the Company’s

financial condition, to identify prospective risks, and to obtain information about the

Company, including corporate governance, identification and assessment of inherent

risks, and the evaluation of the system controls and procedures used to mitigate those

risks. The examination also included an assessment of the principles used and the

significant estimates made by management, as well as an evaluation of the overall

financial statement presentation, and management’s compliance with Statutory

Accounting Principles and Annual Statement instructions. All accounts and activities of

2

the Company were considered in accordance with the risk-focused examination

process.

The examination was a coordinated examination with Indiana as the Lead State, and

was conducted concurrently with examinations of other insurance entities within the

WellPoint Group of Companies (“WellPoint”).

In addition to those items specifically commented upon in this report, other phases of

the Company’s operations were reviewed including the following areas that require no

further comment: corporate records; fidelity bonds and other insurance; pensions, stock

ownership; growth of company; statutory deposits; and loss experience.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During 2014, the Company’s ultimate parent, WellPoint, Inc., changed its name to

Anthem, Inc.

During February 2015, Anthem, and entities, were the target of a sophisticated external

cyber-attack. The attackers gained unauthorized access to certain information

technology systems and obtained personal information related to many individuals and

employees, such as names, birthdates, health care identification/social security

numbers, street addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and employment

information, including income data. To date, there is no evidence that credit card or

medical information, such as claims, test results or diagnostic codes, were targeted,

accessed or obtained, although no assurance can be given that they will not

identify additional information that was accessed or obtained.

Upon discovery of the cyber-attack, Anthem took immediate action to remediate the

security vulnerability and retained a cyber-security firm to evaluate the systems and

identify solutions based on the evolving landscape and has continued to implement

security enhancements since this incident. Anthem is providing credit monitoring and

3

identity protection services to those who have been affected by this cyber-attack.

Subsequent to the cyber-attack Anthem has incurred expenses to investigate and

remediate this matter and expects to continue to incur expenses of this nature in the

foreseeable future and will recognize these expenses in the periods in which they are

incurred.

Actions have been filed in various federal and state courts and other claims have been

or may be asserted against Anthem on behalf of current or former members, current or

former employees, other individuals, shareholders or others seeking damages or other

related relief, allegedly arising out of the cyber-attack. State and federal agencies,

including state insurance regulators, state attorneys general, the Health and Human

Services Office of Civil Rights and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are investigating

events related to the cyber-attack, including how it occurred, its consequences and

Anthem’s responses. Although Anthem is cooperating in these investigations, Anthem

may be subject to fines or other obligations, which may have an adverse effect on how

they operate their business and their results of operations. With respect to the civil

actions, a motion to transfer was filed with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation in

February 2015 and was subsequently heard by the Panel in May 2015. In June 2015,

the Panel entered its order transferring the consolidated matter to the U.S. District

Court for the Northern District of California. The U.S. District Court entered its case

management order in September 2015. Anthem filed a motion to dismiss ten of the

counts that are before the U.S. District Court. In February 2016, the court issued an

order granting in part and denying in part their motion, dismissing three counts with

prejudice, four counts without prejudice and allowing three counts to proceed. Plaintiffs

filed a second amended complaint in March 2016, and Anthem subsequently filed a

second motion to discuss. In May 2016, the court issued an order granting in part and

denying in part their motion, dismissing one count with prejudice, dismissing certain

counts asserted by specific named plaintiffs with or without prejudice depending on their

individualized facts, and allowing the remaining counts to proceed. In July 2016,

plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint which Anthem answered in August 2016. Fact

discovery is scheduled to be completed by December 2016. There remain two state

4

court cases that are presently proceeding outside of the Multidistrict Litigation. Anthem

has contingency plans and insurance coverage for certain expenses and potential

liabilities of this nature. While a loss from these matters is reasonably possible, Anthem

cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses because their investigation into

the matter is ongoing, the proceedings remain in the early stages, alleged

damages have not been specified, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class

or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and there are

significant factual and legal issues to be resolved.

On July 24, 2015, the Company's ultimate parent company, Anthem, and Cigna

Corporation (Cigna) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of

July 23, 2015, by and among Anthem, Cigna, and Anthem Merger Sub Corp., a

Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Anthem, pursuant to

which Anthem will acquire all outstanding shares of Cigna, or the Acquisition. The

Acquisition will further Anthem’s goal of creating a premium health benefits

company with critical diversification and scale to lead the transformation of health care

delivery for consumers. Cigna is a global health services organization that delivers

affordable and personalized products and services to customers through employer-

based, government-sponsored and individual coverage arrangements. All of Cigna’s

products and services are provided exclusively by or through its operating subsidiaries,

including Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, Cigna Health and Life

Insurance Company, Life Insurance Company of North America and Cigna Life

Insurance Company of New York. Such products and services include an integrated

suite of health services, such as medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, vision,

supplemental benefits, and other related products including group life, accident and

disability insurance. Cigna maintains sales capability in 30 countries and jurisdictions.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cigna’s shareholders will receive $103.40 in

cash and 0.5152 shares of Anthem’s common stock for each Cigna common share

outstanding. The value of the transaction is estimated to be approximately $53.0 billion

based on the closing price of Anthem’s common stock on the New York Stock

Exchange on July 23, 2015. The final purchase price will be determined based on

5

Anthem’s closing stock price on the date of closing of the Acquisition. The combined

company will reflect a pro forma equity ownership comprised approximately 67%

Anthem shareholders and approximately 33% Cigna shareholders. Anthem expects to

finance the cash portion of the Acquisition through available cash on hand and the

issuance of new debt. Anthem entered into a bridge facility commitment letter and a

joinder agreement with a group of lenders which will provide up to $22.5 billion under a

364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan credit facility to finance the Acquisition in the

event that Anthem has not received proceeds from any combination of (i) senior

unsecured term loans, (ii) common or preferred equity or equity-linked securities

and/or (iii) senior unsecured notes in a public offering or private placement in an

aggregate principal amount of at least $22.5 billion prior to the consummation of the

Acquisition. In addition, in August 2015, Anthem entered into a term loan facility which

will provide up to $4.0 billion to finance a portion of the Acquisition. The commitment of

the lenders to provide the bridge facility and the term loan facility is subject to several

conditions, including the completion of the Acquisition. On July 21, 2016, the U.S.

Department of Justice, or DOJ, along with certain state attorneys general, filed a civil

antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to block

the Acquisition. Trial commenced on November 21, 2016. On January 18, 2017,

Anthem provided notice to Cigna that Anthem had elected to extend the termination

date under the Merger Agreement from January 31, 2017 until April 30, 2017. Following

the conclusion of the trial, the Court ruled in favor of the DOJ, on February 8, 2017, and

Anthem promptly filed notice that Anthem would appeal the Court's ruling. On February

14, 2017, Cigna purported to terminate the Merger Agreement and commenced

litigation against Anthem in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or Delaware Court,

seeking damages and a declaratory judgment that its purported termination of the

Merger Agreement was lawful, among other claims. Anthem believes Cigna's

allegations are without merit. Also on February 14, 2017, Anthem initiated its own

litigation against Cigna in the Delaware Court seeking a temporary restraining order to

enjoin Cigna from terminating the Merger Agreement, specific performance compelling

Cigna to comply with the Merger Agreement and damages. On February 15, 2017, the

Delaware Court granted Anthem's motion for a temporary restraining order and issued

6

an order enjoining Cigna from terminating the Merger Agreement. The temporary

restraining order became effective immediately and will remain in place pending any

further order from the Delaware Court. Anthem intends to vigorously defend the

Acquisition in both the Circuit Court and the Delaware Court and remains committed to

completing the Acquisition as soon as practicable.

On December 1, 2016, a Regulatory Settlement Agreement, (RSA) was entered into by

Anthem and the California Department of Insurance, Indiana Department of Insurance

(INDOI), Maine Bureau of Insurance, Missouri Department of Insurance, New

Hampshire Insurance Department, North Dakota Department of Insurance, and South

Carolina Department of Insurance (collectively, the "Lead Regulators") and the

insurance regulatory departments, divisions, or offices of each of the remaining states

and U.S. jurisdictions that adopt, agree to, and approve this Agreement ( the

"Participating Regulators"). This RSA resulted from the targeted multi-state market

conduct and financial examination initially called by the lNDOI as lead domestic

regulator on February 26, 2015, as a result of Anthem's announcing of the cyber-

security breach noted above. The purpose of the examination was to assess Anthem's

state of cyber-security preparedness prior to the Data Breach, its post-Data Breach

response, the adequacy of measures taken by the Company to mitigate the harm to

consumers whose personally identifiable information (PIT) was compromised, and

determine the identity of the persons responsible for the breach. "The results of this

examination found that a) Anthem's pre-breach cyber-security was reasonable and

included the implementation of technologies and procedures consistent with or

exceeding those of a typical organization of its size and type; b) Anthem's preparations

to respond to a data breach began well before the incident occurred and included a

detailed Incident Response Plan (IR Plan); c) The Company's IR Plan allowed it to

timely and effectively respond to the Data Breach when it was discovered, removing

the attacker's ability to access the network within three days of identifying the Data

Breach; d) The examiners identified the attacker with high confidence and concluded

with medium confidence that the attacker was acting on behalf of a foreign

government. Attacks associated with this foreign government have not resulted in PIT

7

being transferred to non-state actors; e) Anthem promptly communicated and

cooperated with law enforcement and regulatory officials; f) Anthem provided affected

individuals with notice through direct mailing, emailing, news publications, website

notice, and working with state insurance departments; g) Within two weeks of

discovering the Data Breach, Anthem contracted with a vendor to provide credit

protection services for two years to breach-impacted consumers; and h)

Immediately following discover of the Data Breach, Anthem engaged expert consultants

to investigate the Data Breach and assist Anthem with its post-breach response. To

date, Anthem has already incurred significant costs related to the Data Breach: $2.5

million to engage expert consultants; $115 million for the implementation of security

improvements; $31 million to provide initial notification to the public and affected

individuals; and $112 million to provide credit protection to breach-impacted consumers.

In light of the facts set forth, the corrective actions already implemented by Anthem, and

the Additional Corrective Actions agreed to, the Lead Regulators find that administrative

fines or penalties are not warranted. Additional Corrective Actions include a) Continued

implementation of enhanced security measures at an estimated additional cost of at

least $30 million; b) Continuation of cyber-security monitoring; and c) Anthem Minor

Credit Protection Program at an estimated additional cost of at least $15 million.
