IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED
AUGUST 22, 1996
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TO: PARTICIPANTS IN THE CHARTER MEDICAL CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (THE
"ESOP")
FROM: WACHOVIA BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA, N.A., TRUSTEE
RE: DIRECTION CONCERNING TENDER OF SHARES ALLOCATED TO YOUR ESOP ACCOUNT
</TABLE>
DEAR ESOP PARTICIPANT:
Enclosed are materials that require your immediate attention. The materials
describe matters directly affecting your interest in the ESOP. You are entitled
to instruct Wachovia Bank of South Carolina, N.A. as Trustee (the "Trustee") of
the ESOP whether to tender shares of Magellan Health Services, Inc., formerly
known as Charter Medical Corporation (the "Company") allocated to your ESOP
account pursuant to the Offer.
Read all the materials carefully. You will need to complete the enclosed
pink Direction Form and return it in the postage paid envelope provided. Your
instructions to the Trustee will be confidential.
IN ORDER FOR THE TRUSTEE OF THE ESOP TO MAKE A TIMELY TENDER OF YOUR SHARES,
YOU MUST COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PINK DIRECTION FORM IN THE RETURN
ENVELOPE SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED BY THE TRUSTEE'S AGENT NOT LATER THAN 12:00
MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1996, UNLESS EXTENDED.
PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THE PINK DIRECTION FORM EVEN IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER DESCRIBED BELOW. ONLY THE TRUSTEE MAY TENDER THE SHARES
ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. DO NOT USE THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO TENDER
SHARES.
The remainder of this letter summarizes the transaction and your rights and
options under the ESOP, but you also should review carefully the Offer to
Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal included with this letter.
BACKGROUND
Magellan Health Services, Inc. has made a tender offer (the "Offer") to
purchase up to 1,891,891 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share
(the "Shares" or the "Common Stock") (including the associated common stock
purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 21,
1992, between the Company and the Rights Agent named therein), at prices not
greater than $18.50 nor less than $16.50 per Share. The enclosed Offer to
Purchase, dated August 15, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related
Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer") set forth the
objectives, terms and conditions of the Offer and are being provided to all of
the Company's stockholders.
As a participant in the ESOP, you are directly affected because the
Company's Offer to Purchase extends to the approximately 295,108 Shares
currently held by the ESOP. Only the Trustee of the ESOP can actually tender
these Shares for sale. However, as an ESOP participant, you have the right
pursuant to the terms of the ESOP to direct the Trustee whether or not to tender
the Shares that are allocated to your ESOP account. If you elect to have the
Trustee tender these Shares, you also are entitled to specify the price or
prices at which they should be tendered.
The Trustee generally must act pursuant to your directions. The ESOP
provides that the Trustee will not tender Shares that are allocated to accounts
of participants who fail to complete properly and return timely Direction Forms.
To assure the confidentiality of your decision, the Trustee has retained IBJ
Schroder Bank & Trust Company ("IBJ Schroder") to tabulate the directions of
ESOP participants set forth on the enclosed Direction Form. You will note from
the included envelope that your Direction Form is to be returned to IBJ
Schroder.
<PAGE>
The ESOP also provides in Section 5.3 that the "Trust Fund shall be invested
exclusively in Shares..." of Magellan Health Services, Inc. The Company has
informed the Trustee that it intends to amend the ESOP to allow proceeds from a
tender of the Shares pursuant to the Offer to be invested other than in Shares
of Magellan Health Services, Inc. It also may amend the plan to provide that
participants may receive benefit payments in the form of cash or Shares. There
can be no assurances that the Company will pursue such amendments or, that if
amended, such amendments will occur prior to the Trustee receiving the proceeds
from any Shares that are tendered. The investment of any proceeds received from
a tender of Shares under the terms of the ESOP is subject to the Trustee's duty
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended ("ERISA").
See the "Trustee's Legal Responsibility" section below for more information.
HOW YOU INSTRUCT THE TRUSTEE
The details of the Offer are described in the enclosed materials, which you
should review carefully. However, in broad outline, the transaction will work as
follows with respect to ESOP participants.
- The Company has offered to purchase up to 1,891,891 of its
Shares, constituting approximately 5.73% of the Company's
outstanding shares as of July 31, 1996.
- If you want any of the Shares allocated to your ESOP account
sold on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer,
you need to instruct the Trustee by completing the enclosed
Pink Direction Form and returning it to IBJ Schroder in the
return envelope.
- You need to specify on the Direction Form the per Share price
(in multiples of $0.125), not greater than $18.50 nor less than
$16.50, at which you wish to tender the Shares allocated to
your ESOP account.
- The Offer and the proration period will expire at 12:00
midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, September 12, 1996,
unless the Company extends the Offer. ACCORDINGLY, IN ORDER FOR
THE TRUSTEE TO MAKE A TIMELY TENDER OF YOUR SHARES, YOU MUST
COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED DIRECTION FORM IN THE RETURN
ENVELOPE SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED BY IBJ SCHRODER NOT LATER THAN
12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,
1996, UNLESS EXTENDED. PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THE DIRECTION
FORM EVEN IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER.
- After the deadline above for returning the Direction Form to
IBJ Schroder, IBJ Schroder will complete the tabulation of all
directions and Wachovia Bank of South Carolina, N.A. as
Trustee, will tender the appropriate number of Shares to the
Company.
- The Company will then determine the per Share purchase price,
(not greater than $18.50 nor less than $16.50 Share) (the
"Purchase Price"), at which the Company may purchase up to
1,891,891 Shares.
- Unless the Offer is voided, amended or discontinued in
accordance with its terms, the Company then will buy up to
1,891,891 Shares, that were tendered at or below the Purchase
Price. However, all sellers will receive the same per Share
Purchase Price, even if they tendered below the Purchase Price.
- If you direct the tender of any Shares at a price in excess of
the Purchase Price as finally determined, those Shares will not
be purchased, and they will remain allocated to your ESOP
account.
- Finally, if there is an excess of Shares tendered over the
exact number desired by the Company at the Purchase Price,
Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be subject to
proration as set forth in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase;
however, if you own fewer than 100 Shares (including both
Shares held in your ESOP account and Shares you own otherwise)
as of the close of business on August 12, 1996, and you tender
or direct the tender of all of your Shares at or below the
Purchase Price, the Company will purchase your Shares before
any proration. This preference is available only if you
complete the box captioned "Odd Lots" on the Direction Form.
This form of transaction is commonly called a "Dutch Auction". If you do not
want to sell, an option is provided for you to direct that Shares allocated to
your ESOP account not be tendered into the Offer.
<PAGE>
PROCEDURE FOR DIRECTING TRUSTEE
A Direction Form for making your direction is enclosed. You must complete
and return the enclosed Direction Form in the return envelope so that it is
received not later than 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, September
9, 1996, unless extended. PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THE DIRECTION FORM EVEN IF
YOU DECIDE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER. If your Direction Form is not
received by this deadline, or if it is not fully and properly completed, the
Shares allocated to your ESOP account will not be tendered by the Trustee
(except as explained under "Trustee's Legal Responsibility" below).
To properly complete your Direction Form, you must do the following:
(1) On the face of the Direction Form, check Box 1, 2 or 3. CHECK ONLY ONE
BOX. Make your decision which box to check as follows:
- CHECK BOX 1 if you do not want the Shares allocated to your ESOP
account tendered for sale at any price and simply want the ESOP to
continue holding Shares allocated to your account.
- CHECK BOX 2 if you want to tender all the Shares allocated to your
ESOP account at the Purchase Price as outlined by the Offer.
- CHECK BOX 3 in all other cases and complete the table immediately
below Box 3, unless you qualify for the Odd Lot preference, in which
case you should disregard the remainder of this instruction (1) and
refer to instruction (2) below. Specify the number of Shares that you
want to tender at each price indicated. Typically, you would elect to
tender Shares at a single price. However, the Direction Form gives
you the option of splitting your Shares among several prices. You
must state the number of Shares to be sold at each indicated price by
filling in the number of Shares on the line immediately before the
price. Leave a line blank if you want no Shares tendered at that
price. The total number of Shares tendered may not exceed the number
of Shares allocated to your account, but may be less.
(2) If you own fewer than 100 Shares (including both Shares held in your
ESOP account and Shares you own otherwise) as of the close of business on
August 12, 1996 and you tender or direct the tender of all your Shares,
you should complete the box captioned "Odd Lots" if you wish to receive
the Odd Lot preference. In order to receive this preference, you must
check the first box in the "Odd Lots" box to represent that you qualify
for the Odd Lot preference and you also must either direct the Trustee to
tender all Shares at one price (by marking the appropriate box with an
"X" in the "Price" box) or check the second box in the "Odd Lots" box
indicating that you do not wish to specify a purchase price, in which
case all of your Shares will be tendered at the Purchase Price
established by the Company. If you check this second box in the "Odd
Lots" box, DO NOT SPECIFY A PURCHASE PRICE IN THE "PRICE" BOX.
(3) Date and sign the Pink Direction Form in the space provided.
(4) Finally, return the enclosed Direction Form in the return envelope so
that it is received by IBJ Schroder not later than 12:00 midnight, New
York City time, on Monday, September 9, 1996, unless extended. Please
complete and return the Direction Form even if you decide not to
participate in the Offer.
Your direction will be deemed irrevocable unless withdrawn by 12:00
midnight New York City time, on Monday, September 9, 1996, unless
extended. In order to make an effective withdrawal, you must submit a
notice of withdrawal of your direction, which must be in writing, or
submit a new Direction Form in accordance with the previous instructions
for directing the tendering set forth in this letter, either of which
must be received by IBJ Schroder at the following addresses:

instructions for directing the tendering set forth in this letter.
INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE ESOP WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PORTION OF THE
TENDER PROCEEDS FOR SHARES HELD IN THE ESOP. ALL SUCH PROCEEDS AND THE ASSETS
WILL REMAIN IN THE ESOP AND MAY BE WITHDRAWN ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
OF THE ESOP. You should consult your tax advisor concerning any long term tax
consequences that might occur as a result of tendering Shares held within the
ESOP. If you tender Shares and the tender is accepted, you will not experience
any immediate taxable gain or losss.
CONFIDENTIALITY
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND IBJ SCHRODER WILL PROTECT
THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR DECISION AS AN ESOP PARTICIPANT. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOUR DECISION BE DISCLOSED TO ANY DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR
EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY EXCEPT TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF ADMINISTRATORS FOR THE
SOLE PURPOSE OF ALLOCATING PROCEEDS TO YOUR ESOP ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT THAT ALL
OR A PORTION OF YOUR SHARES ARE SOLD.
TRUSTEE'S LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
If you affirmatively direct the Trustee concerning your decision to tender
or not tender the Shares allocated to your ESOP account, the Trustee must
generally follow your direction.
If you fail to affirmatively direct the Trustee to tender or to not tender
the Shares allocated to your ESOP account, the ESOP provides that your Shares
will not be tendered and that the Trustee has no discretion with respect to
those Shares. The Trustee must determine whether following this plan provision
would violate ERISA. The Trustee must generally follow your directions and the
ESOP provisions unless it has well founded reasons that to do so would violate
ERISA. Should the Trustee determine that the implementation of a participant
direction or adherence to any plan provision relative to tender offers would
violate ERISA, it must ignore such direction or plan provision and exercise its
discretion as Trustee in lieu of such direction or plan provision.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Although the Trustee has no recommendation and cannot advise you whether to
direct the Trustee to tender or not tender ESOP Shares, its representative is
prepared to answer any questions that you may have on the procedures involved in
the Dutch Auction and on giving your direction to the Trustee.
For additional information, or if you have questions:
- Concerning the procedure to tender ESOP Shares or for assistance in
completing the Direction Form

participant. Please consider this letter and the enclosed materials carefully
and then return your Direction Form promptly.
