SUBSEQUENT EVENTS<br />

Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 <strong>TRS</strong>-Care has been approved for participation in the Early Retiree<br />

Reinsurance Program. (See Note 6 for amounts received during fiscal year <strong>2011</strong>.) While funds remain available, reimbursements under<br />

the program will be provided for 80 percent of qualified costs between $15,000 and $90,000. <strong>TRS</strong> estimates that its additional claim for<br />

fiscal year ended August 31, <strong>2011</strong> will be approximately $98.7 million. However, because of the uncertainty surrounding the availability<br />

of funds, <strong>TRS</strong> cannot reasonably estimate the amount, if any, it will actually receive. As of November 10, <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>TRS</strong> has not received<br />

any additional funds attributable to this program.<br />
