ratings, inventory levels, inventory turn and loss rates, store development, relocations and new market entries, PBM business and sales trends, the Company's ability to attract or
retain customers, Medicare Part D competitive bidding and enrollment, new product development and the impact of industry developments, as well as statements expressing
optimism or pessimism about future operating results or events, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.
The forward-looking statements are and will be based upon management's then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are
applicable only as of the dates of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise.
By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

· Risks relating to the health of the economy in general and in the markets we serve, which could impact consumer purchasing power, preferences and/or spending

patterns, drug utilization trends, the financial health of our PBM clients or other payors doing business with us and our ability to secure necessary financing, suitable
store locations and sale-leaseback transactions on acceptable terms.


· Efforts to reduce reimbursement levels and alter health care financing practices, including pressure to reduce reimbursement levels for generic drugs.


· The possibility of PBM client loss and/or the failure to win new PBM business.


· Risks related to the frequency and rate of the introduction of generic drugs and brand name prescription products.

· Risks of declining gross margins in the PBM industry attributable to increased competitive pressures, increased client demand for lower prices, enhanced service

offerings and/or higher service levels and market dynamics and regulatory changes that impact our ability to offer plan sponsors pricing that includes the use of retail
"differential" or "spread."


· Regulatory and business changes relating to our participation in federal and state government-funded programs, such as Medicare Part D and Medicaid.


· Possible changes in industry pricing benchmarks.

· An extremely competitive business environment, including the uncertain impact of increased consolidation in the PBM industry, uncertainty concerning our ability to

secure and maintain competitive pricing and other contract terms from pharmacies participating in our retail pharmacy networks and the willingness of some PBM
clients to consider adopting narrow or more restricted retail pharmacy networks.

our net revenues, gross profit, marketing and other operating expenses and cash flows over time if we are unable to retain the business we have gained as a result of the
Express Scripts and Walgreens contractual impasse.

· Reform of the U.S. health care system, including ongoing implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, continuing legislative efforts, regulatory

changes and judicial interpretations impacting our health care system and the possibility of shifting political and legislative priorities related to reform of the health care
system in the future.

· Risks relating to our failure to properly maintain our information technology systems, our information security systems and our infrastructure to support our business and

to protect the privacy and security of sensitive customer and business information.

· Risks related to compliance with a broad and complex regulatory framework, including compliance with new and existing federal, state and local laws and regulations

relating to health care, accounting standards, corporate securities, tax, environmental and other laws and regulations affecting our business.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely impact the Company. Should any risks and
uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. For
these reasons, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements.
