Humana Completes Acquisition of KMG America



LOUISVILLE, Ky.  November 30, 2007  Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) and KMG America Corporation (KMG) (NYSE: KMA) today jointly announced that the acquisition of KMG by Humana has been completed in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger approved by KMGs shareholders on Nov. 16, 2007.  KMG shareholders will be receiving instructions for surrendering outstanding shares in exchange for $6.20 in cash for each KMG share held.  The total transaction price of approximately $187.7 million (including approximately $15 million of debt which was repaid at closing and the assumption of approximately $35 million of debt) was financed through a combination of cash and debt.



KMG offers life and health insurance products and services to approximately 1 million group and individual members nationwide, including stand-alone stop-loss insurance through group employers for approximately 392,000 members and third-party claims administration and medical management services for approximately 126,000 self-insured members.  KMGs revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 approximated $163 million.



The transaction is not expected to impact Humanas guidance for 2007 diluted earnings per common share (EPS) and was already reflected in Humanas previous guidance for 2008 EPS of $5.30 to $5.50.
