Changes in internal control over financial reporting

On November 28, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Aetna. In conducting its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, management has elected to exclude Aetna from that assessment, as permitted under SEC rules. The Company is in the process of integrating the historical internal control over financial reporting of Aetna with the rest of the Company. Aetna’s operations are included in the Company’s 2018 consolidated financial statements for the period from November 28, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and represented 21% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 3% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.
