Re: Anthem / Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maine: Anthem Health Plans of Maine, Inc. Application for Certificate of Authority

Dear Superintendent Iuppa:

Pursuant to Item 10 of the Order on Completeness dated February 25, 2000, I enclose the First Amendment to the Application for Certificate of Authority. As required by the Order, the First Amendment changes Section 8 of the Application to reflect paid-in capital of $2,500,000 and initial free surplus of $2,500,000.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter.

Very truly yours,

 

James B. Zimpritch
