Summary
Elevance Health, Inc., formerly known as WellPoint, Inc., filed an 8-K on October 26, 2011, to report its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. The filing itself does not contain the detailed financial results, but rather references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) issued on the same date, which contains the specific financial data. This is a standard disclosure mechanism for companies to disseminate earnings information to the public and the SEC concurrently. Investors reviewing this filing should understand that the core financial performance details are located within the referenced press release. The 8-K serves as the official notification and filing of that information with the SEC. The company's principal executive offices are located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's important to note that the information furnished in this 8-K is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it doesn't carry the same legal liabilities as formally filed financial statements, though it is incorporated by reference into the press release.
