Copyright Infringement Claims: Notice and Take-Down Procedures

If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to CVS Caremark a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing and meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details), which, with respect to notices of infringement, currently include, among other requirements, the following:
1. Sufficient information identifying the copyrighted work(s) believed to be infringed.
2. Sufficient information identifying the allegedly infringing material(s) and the location of such material(s) in order to permit CVS Caremark to locate such material(s).
3.

Forward-Looking Statements
The Service may contain or make available forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, CVS Health Corporation and its subsidiaries, including CVS/ caremark (collectively, “CVS Group”), and its and their representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in CVS Health Corporation’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in the CVS Group’s reports to stockholders, press releases, webcasts, conference calls, meetings, and other communications. 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 Health Corporation or any subsidiary, events, or developments that the CVS Group expects or anticipates will occur in the future, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results or events, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. 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 CVS Group 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 as described in CVS Health Corporation’s SEC filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of CVS Health Corporation’s current Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There can be no assurance that CVS Health Corporation has correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting its business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to CVS Health Corporation or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely impact the CVS Group. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on the CVS Group’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. For these reasons, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the CVS Group’s forward-looking statements.
