MOLINA HEALTHCARE FILES SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

LONG BEACH, California (November 23, 2005) – Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today announced that it has filed an amendment to the registration statement on Form S-3 that it filed in April 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to convert the registration statement into a shelf registration statement. Once the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, securities purchase contracts or securities purchase units up to a total of $300 million, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital needs. All securities offered and sold pursuant to the shelf registration statement will be offered and sold by the Company and not by any selling stockholder.

 

At the time any of the securities covered by the registration statement are offered for sale, a prospectus will be prepared and filed containing the specific information about the terms of any such offering. When available, a copy of the written prospectus may be obtained by contacting the underwriters named in the prospectus or by contacting Juan José Orellana, Director, Investor Relations, Molina Healthcare, Inc., One Golden Shore Drive, Long Beach, CA 90802.

 

The registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.
