Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This presentation contains certain forward-looking information about Anthem,
Trigon and the combined company after completion of the transactions that are
intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements"
provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words
such as "expect(s)", "feel(s)", "believe(s)", "will", "may", "anticipate(s)" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements include, but are not limited to, financial projections and estimates
and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding plans, objectives and
expectations with respect to future operations, products and services; and
statements regarding future performance. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond the control of Anthem and Trigon, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the
forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties
include: those discussed and identified in public filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission made by Anthem and Trigon; trends in health
care costs and utilization rates; our ability to secure sufficient premium rate
increases; competitor pricing below market trends of increasing costs; increased
government regulation of health benefits and managed care; significant
acquisitions or divestitures by major competitors; introduction and utilization
of new prescription drugs and technology; a downgrade in our financial strength
ratings; litigation targeted at health benefits companies; our ability to
contract with providers consistent with past practice; our ability to consummate
Anthem's acquisition of Trigon, to achieve expected synergies and operating
efficiencies in the Trigon acquisition and to successfully integrate our
operations; our expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and
tax treatments of the transactions and the value of the transaction
consideration; and general economic downturns. You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the
date hereof. Neither Anthem nor Trigon undertakes any obligation to republish
revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You are also
urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures in Anthem's and
Trigon's various SEC reports, including but not limited to Annual Reports on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the 2002 quarterly Form 10-Q
filings.

                                                                              14
