EXPRESS SCRIPTS COMMENTS ON DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY ORDER

St. Louis, February 13, 2007 – Express Scripts, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESRX) today noted the order by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in support of an independent stockholder’s motion to enjoin the Caremark Rx, Inc., (NYSE: CMX) February 20, 2007 special meeting of stockholders until at least March 9, 2007. The company commented:

“This is the right decision for Caremark stockholders. It is unfortunate that it was necessary for a court to enjoin the meeting rather than Caremark’s Board of Directors acting in the best interests of its stockholders.”

In its order the Court noted that “a reasonable shareholder may consider the revelation that Caremark has considered, on at least three separate occasions, potential transactions with Express Scripts to be highly relevant. This is particularly true in the face of Caremark’s present protestations that antitrust difficulties loom so large as to prevent the board of directors from even discussing an offer with an admittedly higher dollar value.”

Caremark stockholders are being offered a low growth CVS Corporation (NYSE: CVS) currency and ownership in a CVS/Caremark combination that is predicated on a model that history shows will destroy value. By contrast, Express Scripts is offering Caremark stockholders greater certainty of value through a significant cash payment – approximately 50% of the total consideration – in a combination based on a model that has historically added value.

Express Scripts urges Caremark stockholders vote AGAINST the CVS transaction by signing, dating and mailing in the GOLD proxy card today.

Caremark stockholders are reminded that their vote is important. Stockholders may be able to vote their shares by telephone or by the Internet, and are advised that if they have any questions or need any assistance in voting their shares, they should contact Express Scripts’ proxy advisor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc. Toll-Free at 800-322-2885.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Arnold & Porter LLP are acting as legal counsel to Express Scripts, and Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking and Credit Suisse are acting as financial advisors. MacKenzie Partners, Inc. is acting as proxy advisor to Express Scripts.
