Exhibit 3.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
MEDCO HEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC.
Adopted in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under, and by virtue of, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify as follows:
1. The Corporation was originally formed as a limited liability company by the filing of a certificate of formation under the name “Mergerco Delaware No. 1, L.L.C.” with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) on August 26, 1996. The name of the Corporation was changed to “Merck-Medco Managed Care, L.L.C.” pursuant to a merger effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State on December 27, 1996. The Corporation converted from a limited liability company to a corporation effective upon the filing of a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State on May 21, 2002. In connection with this conversion, a certificate of incorporation for the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State under the name “MedcoHealth Solutions, Inc.” on May 21, 2002. The present name of the Corporation is “Medco Health Solutions, Inc.,” as changed pursuant to a filing of an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State on June 07, 2002. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, which was filed with the Secretary of State on July 31, 2003, was duly amended on May 25, 2007. The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State on May 22, 2008. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State on May 12, 2010.
2. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, dated as of May 24, 2011, was, in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the DGCL, (a) duly proposed by resolutions adopted and declared advisable by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), (b) approved by its stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders and (c) duly executed by an authorized officer of the Corporation pursuant to Section 103 of the DGCL.
3. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation restates, integrates and further amends the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as heretofore amended, corrected or supplemented, and, upon filing with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 103, shall supersede the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as heretofore amended and restated, corrected or supplemented, and shall, as it may thereafter be amended in accordance with its terms and applicable law, be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.
4. Pursuant to Section 103(d) of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.

The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 2,010,000,000, of which 2,000,000,000 shares with the par value of $0.01 per share shall constitute a class designated as Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares with the par value of $0.01 per share shall constitute a class designated as Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series from time to time. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series of Preferred Stock (with respect to each series of Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock Designation”).
FIFTH. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal any bylaws of the Corporation by resolutions duly adopted by a majority of the directors then in office, but the stockholders entitled to vote may adopt additional bylaws and may amend or repeal any bylaw whether or not adopted by them, at a meeting duly called for that purpose, by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes hereof as a single class.

Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, and any vacancies on the Board of Directors (resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal, or other cause), shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the one-year term and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
EIGHTH. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) fixing the powers, privileges or rights of any class or series of stock other than the Common Stock in respect of action by written consent of the holders of such class or series of stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders.
Except as otherwise provided pursuant to provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) fixing the powers, privileges or rights of any class or series of stock other than the Common Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation of any class or series of capital stock for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or a majority of the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution stating the purpose or purposes thereof or, as and to the extent required by the bylaws of the Corporation, by the secretary of the Corporation upon the written request of the holders of record of not less than forty percent (40%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Requisite Percent”).

No business other than that stated in the notice sent by the Corporation for a special meeting shall be transacted at such special meeting.
NINTH. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended. If the DGCL is amended after the effective date of this Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
