Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers.

(b)           Departure of Named Executive Officer

Effective as of March 1, 2012, Humana Inc. (the “Company”) and V. Rajamannar Madabhushi entered into a Voluntary Release and Mutual Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) regarding Mr. Rajamannar’s departure from the Company.

(e)           Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers

The payments and benefits to which Mr. Rajamannar is entitled under the Agreement, which are summarized below, are generally subject to Mr. Rajamannar's compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, in addition to certain incentive, accrued and retirement compensation that Mr. Rajamannar is entitled to under Humana’s compensation programs and policies, certain stock options and restricted stock held by Mr. Rajamannar that, pursuant to the terms of the applicable agreements, were scheduled to vest on April 28, 2012, will continue to vest as if Mr. Rajamannar were still employed by the Company through such date.  Any other equity compensation awards that were unvested as of the termination date were forfeited for no consideration.  Mr. Rajamannar will have 90 days following April 28, 2012 to exercise the options that will become vested and exercisable on April 28, 2012 as described above.
 
The Company has agreed to waive certain non-competition covenants that Mr. Rajamannar would have otherwise been subject to pursuant to the terms of his equity compensation agreements, but solely relating to employment with Wellpoint, Inc. or its affiliates.  Mr. Rajamannar will continue to be subject to covenants restricting his solicitation of employees and customers of the Company contained in such agreements, as well as restrictions prohibiting disclosure of confidential information (the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants, collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”).  The Agreement also contains Mr. Rajamannar’s release of any claims he may have against the Company.
 
If Mr. Rajamannar violates the Restrictive Covenants, he will generally forfeit any remaining equity awards held (including any scheduled to vest on April 28, 2012) and will be required to reimburse the Company for gains on shares acquired pursuant to stock options and restricted stock scheduled to vest on April 28, 2012 as described above.
 
The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
