WellPoint Inc. director Lenox Baker said there is no move on the company’s board to oust CEO Angela Braly even after an institutional investor said last week she needs to go. “Angela, I think, has done a great job,” Baker, a retired cardiac surgeon, told Bloomberg News. “Quite frankly, I think some of this stuff with the company is coming from Wall Street. I’m much more looking to the future.” WellPoint, the second-biggest U.S. health insurer, reported earnings last month that missed analyst estimates, said it would lose 900,000 members, and reduced its 2012 forecast. Those announcements prompted Leon Cooperman, whose hedge fund Omega Advisors owns 2.1 million WellPoint shares, to tell Bloomberg: “There’s a universal view that the CEO is the wrong CEO to lead the business.” Since Braly became chairwoman of WellPoint in 2010, the company’s stock price has fallen 8.5 percent. During the same time, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group has seen its stock rise 53 percent. The results “put an exclamation point on the differences between United and WellPoint,” Carl McDonald, a Citigroup analyst in New York, wrote in a note to clients. “Time may be running out for WellPoint’s management team.”

But a dispute arose between the two companies after Lilly launched another diabetes drug, Tradjenta, in partnership with Germany-based Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH. Lilly intends to use the Amylin payments to pay development costs of new drugs it hopes to bring to market.
