Item 4.    Description of Securities.

 

The Common Stock to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and, therefore, the description of securities is omitted herefrom.

 

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, permits Delaware corporations to eliminate or limit the monetary liability of directors, officers, employees and agents for breach of fiduciary duty of care, subject to certain limitations. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors and officers shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed by such director or officer, as applicable, except for liability (1) for any breach of a director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law under Section 174 of the DGCL or (3) for a transaction from which the officer or director derived an improper personal benefit. Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent permitted by the DGCL. Our directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers. The indemnification agreements provide that the director or officer will be indemnified to the fullest extent not prohibited by law for claims arising in such person’s capacity as a director or officer. In addition, our obligations under the indemnification agreements with our independent directors are guaranteed up to a maximum of $22.5 million by the Mary R. Molina Living Trust, the holder of approximately 22.2% of our common stock.

 

Item 7.    Exemption from Registration Claimed.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8.    Exhibits.

 

Reference is made to the Index to Exhibits.

 

Item 9.    Undertakings.

 

  (1)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the

 

4


registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(b)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(d)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Act (and each filing of the employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (2)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described in Item 6 or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for Molina Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of 3,022,360 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), which may be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, 2002 Equity Incentive Plan and 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

 

This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In connection with rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures (including endorsements), the authority of trustees, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. As to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective officers and other representatives and of public official and others.

 

We do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, when the certificates evidencing the Shares in the form of the specimen certificate examined by us shall have been manually signed by an authorized officer of the transfer agent and registrar for the Shares and registered by such transfer agent and registrar and the Shares shall have been delivered to and paid for in accordance with the terms of the respective Plans, the issuance and sale of the


Shares will have been duly authorized and the Shares will be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Registration Statement. We do not admit in providing such consent that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/    MCDERMOTT, WILL & EMERY
