Item 8.01 Other Events

Humana Inc. today disclosed that as of the close of business on Friday, September 12, 2008, its investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, had a fair value of approximately $6.6 billion. Of this amount, the company held direct debt securities of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., or Lehman (NYSE: LEH) of approximately $25.7 million at fair value, or about 0.5 percent of the approximate value of the portfolio. Furthermore, the company also held $4.9 million at fair value of the debt securities of American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG).

Approximately $29.2 million of the company’s cash collateral under its securities lending program were invested in obligations of Lehman at September 12, 2008. A description of the company’s securities lending program is included in the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, at June 30, 2008, the company had an asset related to an interest rate swap agreement with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. of approximately $7.1 million.

The company expects to continue to analyze and review the valuation of these securities and assets and all remaining securities in its investment portfolio, including the impact, if any, on its 3Q08 financial results which are expected to be announced on November 3, 2008.
