Under the terms of the California Department of Corporations' conversion order approving Health Net's for-profit status, the California Wellness Foundation received $300 million plus 80 percent of the equity of Health Net's parent holding company.〔http://www.calwellness.org/about_us/history_and_financial.htm〕 In August 1993, Health Net merged with Qualmed to form Health Systems International.
