ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On November 20, 2008, Mr. Johnson, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, sent the following letter to Mr. Steven J. Shulman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company:

 

Dear Mr. Shulman:

 

The Shamrock Activist Value Fund is one of the largest shareholders in Magellan Health Services, Inc. (“Magellan” or the “Company”), owning 1,368,589 shares of common stock or approximately 3.4% of the outstanding shares. We have been a shareholder of Magellan since January 20, 2006.

 

We urge the Board to immediately take action to maximize the value of the Company for all stockholders, by being more assertive in repurchasing stock under the Board’s authorized share repurchase program. This action should take priority over any other use of shareholder capital unless the Board can both publicly disclose and communicate clearly why an alternative use of capital is in the best long-term interest of the Company’s owners.

 

A more robust and timely share repurchase program will not diminish Magellan’s financial flexibility. Our analysis suggests that the Company can immediately repurchase $300 million in common stock, $100 million more than the Board’s current authorization. We project the Company will end calendar year 2008 with $450-$500 million of unrestricted cash on the balance sheet, absent an accelerated share repurchase program. We also project that for each of the next five years Magellan will produce a minimum of $140 million in free cash flow.


The Company’s repurchase of $300 million of its stock at current market prices will immediately improve the Company’s earnings per share by 21.8 percent. This earnings accretion represents a more efficient use of shareholder capital when compared to earning an assumed 2 percent on the Company’s cash or cash equivalents held in a money market investment vehicle (or similar liquid secure investment).

 

Based on our research and analysis, we believe Magellan’s common stock is currently trading well below its intrinsic value. With the stock down 30 percent from its high of $49.44 and currently trading at a price similar to the levels seen in early 2006, we believe the interest of Magellan shareholders will be best served if a substantial portion of the Company’s excess capital was returned directly to Magellan shareholders in the form of a large and promptly executed share repurchase program or dutch auction self tender offer.

 

We welcome the opportunity to meet with the Board to discuss and present our analysis in detail. Finally, we look forward to continuing our constructive relationship with both the Board and management.

Regards,

 

/s/ Dennis A. Johnson                                    

Dennis A. Johnson, CFA

Managing Director

The Shamrock Activist Value Fund acquired the 1,295,686 shares owned by it based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Ordinary Common Shares represent an attractive investment opportunity.

The Reporting Persons (a) may determine from time to time to acquire additional securities of the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise, and (b) may determine from time to time to sell some or all of the securities they now hold or hereafter acquire, in each case based on factors that such Reporting Persons may deem relevant, which may include, without limitation, (i) market and general economic conditions, (ii) the business affairs and financial conditions of the Company, (iii) the availability of securities at favorable prices, (iv) alternative investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, (v) new or increases or decreases in capital commitments from partners in the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, (vi) the capital requirements of the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, (vii) to honor redemption requests from partners in SAVF, SAVF II or SAVF III, or (viii) other factors from time to time deemed to be relevant by such Reporting Persons.

Except as stated in response to this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no current plans or proposals with respect to the Company or its securities of the types enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 to the form Schedule 13D promulgated under the Act.


ITEM 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III are controlled by the General Partner. As a result, each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III may be deemed members of a group and may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the shares beneficially owned for such purposes by the others.

Accordingly, the Shamrock Activist Value Fund collectively owns 1,295,686 Ordinary Common Shares, which represents approximately 3.2% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Common Shares.

Mr. Gold is a Managing Member of Shamrock Partners, which is the managing member of the General Partner, which in turn is the general partner of each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III. As a result, Mr. Gold may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the Ordinary Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such entities. Mr. Gold disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by any of Shamrock Partners, the General Partner or the Shamrock Activist Value Fund.

Mr. Johnson is a Managing Director of SCA, a Vice President of Shamrock Partners, and the Portfolio Manager of the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, and as such has primary responsibility for portfolio investment decisions relating to the Shamrock Activist Value Fund. As a result, Mr. Johnson may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the Ordinary Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such entities. Mr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by any of Shamrock Partners, the General Partner or the Shamrock Activist Value Fund.

As the general partner of the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, the General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,295,686 Ordinary Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 3.2% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Common Shares. As the managing member of the General Partner, Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,295,686 Ordinary Common Shares owned by the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 3.2% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Common Shares. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 1,295,686 Ordinary Common Shares owned by the Shamrock Activist Value Fund by virtue of its authority to vote and dispose of such Ordinary Common Shares. Finally, each of the controlling persons of Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,295,686 Ordinary Common Shares owned by the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act. Those controlling persons are identified in response to Item 2.


The percentages of ownership figures set forth above and in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assumes that 40,453,168 Ordinary Common Shares were outstanding as of November 28, 2008, as reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2008.

(c) During the last 60 days, SAVF III effected transactions with respect to the Ordinary Common Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices (excluding brokerage fees) as indicated on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as referenced above, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Ordinary Common Shares or has effected any transactions in Ordinary Common Shares during the preceding 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.
