Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Indiana Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation,
unless limited by its articles of incorporation, is required to indemnify its
directors and officers against reasonable expenses incurred in the successful
defense of any proceeding arising out of their serving as a director or officer
of the corporation.
As permitted by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, Anthem's Articles
of Incorporation provide for indemnification of directors, officers, employees
and agents of Anthem against any and all liability and reasonable expense that
may be incurred by them, arising out of any claim or action civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which they may become involved by reason of
being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent. To be entitled to
indemnification, those persons must have been wholly successful in the claim or
action or the board of directors must have determined, based upon a written
finding of legal counsel or another independent referee, or a court of competent
jurisdiction must have determined, that such persons acted in good faith in what
they reasonably believed to be the best interest of Anthem (or at least not
opposed to its best interests) and, in addition, in any criminal action, had
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was lawful (or had no reasonable cause
to believe that their conduct was unlawful). The Articles of Incorporation
authorize Anthem to advance funds for expenses to an indemnified person, but
only upon receipt of an undertaking that he or she will repay the same if it is
ultimately determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification.
The rights of indemnification provided by the articles of incorporation
of Anthem are not exhaustive and are in addition to any rights to which a
director or officer may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.
Irrespective of the provisions of the articles of incorporation of Anthem,
Anthem may, at any time and from time to time, indemnify directors, officers,
employees and other persons to the full extent permitted by the provisions of
applicable law at the time in effect, whether on account of past or future
transactions.
Anthem maintains a standard policy of officers' and directors'
liability insurance.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
