Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, as they relate to Medco Health
Solutions, Inc. or Express Scripts, Inc., the management of either such company or the transaction,
involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in
the statements. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ
materially from those projected. Medco and Express Scripts undertake no obligation to publicly
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current
expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and future financial
results of the pharmacy benefit management and specialty pharmacy industries, and other legal,
regulatory and economic developments. We use words such as anticipates, believes, plans,
expects, projects, future, intends, may, will, should, could, estimates,
predicts, potential, continue, guidance and similar expressions to identify these
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated
by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the
possibility that (1) Medco and Express Scripts may be unable to obtain stockholder or regulatory
approvals required for the merger or may be required to accept conditions that could reduce the
anticipated benefits of the merger as a condition to obtaining regulatory approvals; (2) the length
of time necessary to consummate the proposed merger may be longer than anticipated; (3) problems
may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of Medco and Express Scripts; (4) the proposed
merger may involve unexpected costs; (5) the businesses may suffer as a result of uncertainty
surrounding the proposed merger; and (6) the industry may be subject to future risks that are
described in SEC reports filed by Medco and Express Scripts.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing
factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the businesses of Medco and Express
Scripts described in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
and other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed merger, Express Scripts, Inc. will file with the SEC a registration
statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement of Medco and Express Scripts, and a
prospectus of Express Scripts, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed merger.
Stockholders are urged to read the registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus
contained therein regarding the merger when they become available and any other relevant documents
as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important
information.
