This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein may contain
certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (the "Reform Act"). Generally, the inclusion of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "project," "anticipate,"
"will," "should" and similar expressions identify statements that constitute forward-looking statements. All statements addressing
operating performance of CVS Caremark Corporation or any subsidiary, events or developments that the Company expects or
anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to corporate strategy; revenue growth; earnings or earnings per
common share growth; adjusted earnings or adjusted earnings per common share growth; free cash flow; debt ratings; inventory
levels; inventory turn and loss rates; store development; relocations and new market entries; retail business, sales trends and
operations; pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") business, sales trends and operations; the Company's ability to attract or retain
customers and clients; Medicare Part D competitive bidding, enrollment and operations; 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 the Company serves, which could impact consumer
purchasing power, preferences and/or spending patterns, drug utilization trends, the financial health of the Company's PBM

clients or other payors doing business with the Company 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, including as a result of failure to win

renewal of expiring contracts, contract termination rights that may permit clients to terminate a contract prior to expiration
and early or periodic renegotiation of pricing by clients prior to expiration of a contract.

· The possibility of loss of Medicare Part D business and/or failure to obtain new Medicare Part D business, whether as a

result of the annual Medicare Part D competitive bidding process or otherwise.


· 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 the Company's ability to offer plan sponsors pricing that includes the use of retail "differential" or
"spread."

· Regulatory changes, business changes and compliance requirements and restrictions that may be imposed by Centers for

Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), Office of Inspector General or other government agencies relating to CVS
Caremark's participation in Medicare, Medicaid and

Table of Contents
other federal and state government-funded programs, including sanctions and remedial actions that may be imposed by CMS

on its Medicare Part D business;

· Risks and uncertainties related to the timing and scope of reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other government-
funded programs, including the impact of sequestration, the impact of other federal budget, debt and deficit negotiations and

legislation that could delay or reduce reimbursement for such programs and the impact of any closure, suspension or other
changes affecting federal or state government funding or operations;

· Possible changes in industry pricing benchmarks used to establish pricing in many of our PBM client contracts,

pharmaceutical purchasing arrangements, retail network contracts, specialty payor agreements and other third party payor
contracts.

· An extremely competitive business environment, including the uncertain impact of increased consolidation in the PBM
industry, uncertainty concerning the ability of the Company's retail pharmacy business to secure and maintain contractual

relationships with PBMs and other payors on acceptable terms, and uncertainty concerning the ability of the Company's PBM
business to secure and maintain competitive access, pricing and other contract terms from retail network pharmacies in an
environment where some PBM clients are willing to consider adopting narrow or more restricted retail pharmacy networks.

· The Company's ability to consummate, fully integrate and to realize the planned benefits associated with the acquisition of

Coram LLC in accordance with the expected timing.

· Uncertainty relating to the effect on our net revenues, gross profit, marketing and other operating expenses and cash flows

over time if the Company is unable to retain the business we have gained as a result of the Express Scripts and Walgreens
contractual impasse to the extent anticipated.

· Risks relating to the Company's ability to secure timely and sufficient access to the products it sells from its domestic and/or

international suppliers.

· 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 the Company's failure to properly maintain our information technology systems, our information security

systems and our infrastructure to support the Company's 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 the Company's business.

· Risks related to litigation, government investigations and other legal proceedings as they relate to the Company's business,

the pharmacy services, retail pharmacy or retail clinic industries or to the health care industry generally.


· Other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC.
The foregoing list is not exhaustive. There can be no assurance that the Company has correctly identified and appropriately
assessed all factors affecting its 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.
