Dear Shareholders of Elevance Health, Inc.:
We write to urge you to vote FOR Item #4, Trillium’s shareholder
proposal at Elevance Health, Inc. (“Elevance” or “the Company”) which requests that the Company’s Board
commission an independent study evaluating the impact of adopting a policy that would prohibit corporate contributions to partisan 527
political organizations.
This is a targeted, reasonable request. Importantly, the proposal does
not ask Elevance to change its political spending policy currently, to stop making political contributions, or to disengage from the public
policy process. Instead, it seeks a responsible, modest step: an independent assessment to help shareholders understand whether this specific
category of spending from the company’s treasury (not the political action committee) serves the long-term interests of the Company
and its shareholders.
Partisan 527s present distinctive governance and risk-management challenges
because they aggregate funds and distribute support across a wide array of partisan candidates and political efforts. Examples of 527s
include the Republican Attorneys General Association, the Democratic Governors Associations, the Republican State Leadership Committee,
or the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. As a result, Elevance does not control which candidates and causes ultimately benefit
from its corporate dollars being given to 527s.i
This structure invites heightened risk that corporate funds may indirectly
support positions or candidates that conflict with Elevance’s publicly stated commitments, including efforts related to health equity,
Medicaid access, and climate goals. It also adds to the risk of alienating key stakeholders – employees, customers, and shareholders
– who, like the public at large, hold diverse political views.
Importantly, Elevance has not demonstrated that its contributions to
partisan 527 organizations provide measurable value to the Company or its shareholders. In 2024, Elevance spent over $2.1million –
nearly half of its total political contributions – on these partisan political organizations.ii
In addition, a report by the Center for Political Accountability highlights substantial contributions over time, including to $1.3 million
to the Republican Attorneys General Association and $9.7 million to the Republican Governors Association, since 2010.iii
This concern is also true when it comes to organizations associated with the Democrats. In the Company’s most recent political contributions
report which covers the first half of 2025, it reports that it spent $1.6 million on partisan 527 organizations.iv

Yet the Company does not appear to provide shareholders with evidence
that such contributions improve access to policymakers, advance specific policy outcomes, or deliver tangible benefits that justify their
scale.
In its opposition statement the Company emphasizes its existing policies,
governance processes, and disclosures regarding political spending as reasons to vote against the proposal. While oversight and transparency
are important, what is more important for shareholders to consider is that this argument does not answer the central question shareholders
are entitled to ask: Do corporate treasury contributions to partisan 527 organizations deliver demonstrable benefits to Elevance and
its shareholders - or is the benefit unproven?
Governance processes tell shareholders how decisions are made. However,
they do not establish whether those decisions produce value, nor whether they create unnecessary reputational, operational, or stakeholder-alignment
risks. The Company’s assertions that restricting 527 contributions would hinder its advocacy efforts are just assumptions unless
supported by data – data that shareholders do not currently have and that this proposal seeks to develop through an independent
study.
Given the magnitude of these contributions and the absence of demonstrated
return on investment, an independent study is a reasonable and prudent next step. It would provide objective information to help the Board
and shareholders assess whether this spending practice aligns with Elevance’s long-term strategy and risk profile—and whether
a policy change would strengthen, rather than impair, the Company’s advocacy effectiveness and stakeholder trust.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Jonas Kron at jkron@trilliuminvest.com.
For these reasons, we urge you to vote FOR Item #4 at the upcoming
annual meeting.
Respectfully,
Trillium Asset Management
