Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 10, 2013, CVS Caremark Corporation and Cardinal Health, Inc. jointly announced the signing of an agreement to form a generic pharmaceutical sourcing entity. The U.S.-based entity is expected to be operational as soon as July 1, 2014, and will have an initial term of 10 years. Under this arrangement, both companies are contributing their sourcing and supply chain expertise to this entity and are committing to source and negotiate generic pharmaceutical supply contracts for both CVS Caremark and Cardinal Health through the entity. The entity will be owned equally by the two parties and the agreement includes a quarterly payment of $25 million over the life of the agreement from Cardinal Health to CVS Caremark. No physical assets (e.g., property, plant or equipment) are being contributed by either company to the entity, and minimal funding is being provided to capitalize the entity. The venture is subject to the completion of final documentation and customary closing conditions.
