Electronic Delivery of Shareholder Materials

UnitedHealth Group, through ADP Investor Communications Services (ICS), is pleased to offer electronic delivery of our annual reports, proxy statements and proxy ballots, allowing shareholders to vote their proxies online. Electronic delivery is desirable for a number of reasons:

Immediate availability of important information – no more waiting for the mail to arrive
Less mail – the average consumer is receiving more mail today than ever, and it is time-consuming to look through it all
Cost savings – electronic delivery saves money for the company you are invested in
It’s much better for the environment

With your consent, you will be notified by e-mail when these materials are available via the Internet. To sign up for electronic delivery of proxy materials and accept this new service, you must have an e-mail address, Internet access through an Internet service provider, and a Web browser that supports secure connections. Stockholders should note that UnitedHealth Group is not responsible for any charges you may incur from your personal Internet service provider and/or telephone company.

While you can change your consent for electronic delivery at any time, we are confident that you will find this option the most efficient and effective way to receive your proxy materials. To receive your annual report, proxy statement and proxy ballot on the Internet, instead of receiving printed copies in the mail, follow the links below.

You may sign up at any time to receive your materials electronically for future shareholder materials.

Note to UnitedHealth Group Employees

Some UnitedHealth Group shareholders may be both registered AND beneficial shareholders. Those employee shareholders therefore should enroll for electronic delivery of proxy materials BOTH as a registered shareholder and as a beneficial shareholder. UnitedHealth Group employee shareholders may receive their proxy materials online automatically and may use the Company's e-mail and Internet to vote their proxy ballots online.

If you prefer to receive a hard copy of the proxy materials, they will be provided upon request to:

Beneficial Shareholders

If your UnitedHealth Group stock is held in an account in your name with a brokerage firm (for example, Smith Barney or T. Rowe Price), bank trustee or other agent, you are a "beneficial stockholder." In this case, your proxy materials are delivered to your broker, bank, or other nominee, who then delivers them to you. UnitedHealth Group and its transfer agent do not have records for beneficial stockholders of our stock. However, beneficial stockholders may sign-up for electronic delivery of proxy materials using the web link on this page as long as their brokerage firms and/or banks offer electronic delivery of these documents.
