DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED CORRECTION TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF THE WARRANTS On January 7. 2004, Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan" or the "Company") amended the terms of certain of its warrants to correct their exercise price to be $30.46. The Company and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"), entered into a Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2004 (the "Warrant Agreement"), substantially in the form of exhibit 2.5 to the Current Report on Form 8 K of the Company dated January 6, 2004, to create and provide for the issuance by the Company of 570,826 warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Ordinary Common Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). This issuance of the Warrants was required by the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Chapter 11 Plan"), as confirmed by order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York filed by the court on October 8, 2003 (the "Confirmation Order"). However, in connection with the consummation of the Chapter 11 Plan and the preparation of the definitive form of the Warrant Agreement as executed, a clerical error was made in calculating the per share purchase price of a share of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrants that is to be applicable in accordance with the Chapter 11 Plan. Specifically, in Section 1 of the Warrant Agreement, in the definition of the "Exercise Price" of a Warrant, the amount of $30.20 appeared which did not accord with the requirements of the Chapter 11 Plan and the Confirmation Order with respect to the exercise price of the Warrants. To remedy such error, and in accordance with Section 14.4(b) of the Warrant Agreement which governs amendments thereto to cure manifest errors, the Company and the Warrant Agent entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2004, to amend the definition of the "Exercise Price" of a warrant to be the correct amount of $30.46. No other terms of the Warrants were amended. In addition, and only in order to avoid confusion regarding the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the amended Warrant Agreement was also restated as an Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement on January 7, 2004.
