STOCK COMPENSATION
 
Annual Full Value Share Grant: 
 
Each Director will receive on the date of the Anthem, Inc. annual meeting of shareholders, subject to the deferral described below, an annual grant of a number of shares equal in value to $175,000 (the “Annual Full Value Share Grant”). The exact number of shares for each Annual Full Value Share Grant will be calculated using the following formula: 









Exhibit 10.7


[$175,000] ÷ [the closing price of the Anthem, Inc. common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders] = Number of shares of the Annual Full Value Share Grant. 


 Partial Value Share Grants:


Any Director who joins the Board of Directors after the date of the Anthem, Inc. annual meeting of shareholders (the “Effective Date”) shall receive a pro-rated share grant (the “Partial Value Share Grant”) on the first business day of the month following the Effective Date (unless the Effective Date is on the first business day of a month, in which case, the grant shall be made on the Effective Date).  The Partial Value Share Grant shall be subject to the deferral described below.  The exact number of shares of the Partial Value Share Grant will be calculated using the following formula: 
 
[$175,000 x (the number of days from the Effective Date to the first annual meeting of shareholders after the Effective Date ÷ 365)] ÷ the closing price of the Anthem, Inc. common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the first business day of the month following the Effective Date (unless the Effective Date is on the first business day of a month, in which case, the closing price on the Effective Date shall be used) = Number of shares of the Partial Value Share Grant. 


Deferral of Share Grants: 
  
Share grants will be deferred for a minimum period of five years from the (1) grant date for Annual Full Value Share Grants and (2) the date of the annual meeting of shareholders that immediately precedes the Effective Date for Partial Value Share Grants (each a “Deferral Period”) in accordance with the terms of the Director Deferred Compensation Plan.  Such grants shall not be distributed to the Directors until the earlier of the expiration of the Deferral Period or the date on which a Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors. 


     Director Ownership Guidelines: 
 
Each Director shall have the obligation to own at least $500,000 of Anthem, Inc. common stock (including deferred shares and phantom stock, but not options) commencing on the fifth anniversary of the date such Director became a member of the Board of Directors.
