consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice (the &#147;DOJ&#148;) that allows CVS Health&#146;s proposed acquisition of Aetna (the &#147;CVS Health Transaction&#148;) to proceed, provided Aetna agrees to sell its individual standalone

decree, completion of the CVS Health Transaction may proceed prior to the effective date of the Divestiture. Completion of the CVS Health Transaction remains subject to certain state regulatory approvals required in connection with the acquisition,
including approvals from certain state departments of insurance and similar regulators, and the satisfaction of all closing conditions. CVS Health and Aetna are working with the regulators in the remaining jurisdictions to obtain clearance for the
CVS Health Transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CVS Health continues to expect the CVS Health Transaction to close in the early part of the fourth quarter of 2018. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Woonsocket, RI (October 10, 2018) &#150; </B>CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) that allows it to proceed with its proposed acquisition of Aetna (NYSE: AET). DOJ clearance is a key milestone toward finalizing the transaction, which is also subject to state regulatory approvals, many of which have been granted. CVS
Health&#146;s acquisition of Aetna remains on track to close in the early part of Q4 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;DOJ clearance is an important step toward bringing
together the strengths and capabilities of our two companies to improve the consumer health care experience,&#148; said CVS Health President and Chief Executive Officer Larry J. Merlo. &#147;We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the DOJ
that maintains the strategic benefits and value creation potential of our combination with Aetna. We are now working to complete the remaining state reviews.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Merlo added, &#147;CVS Health and Aetna have the opportunity to combine capabilities in technology, data and analytics to develop new ways to engage patients
in their total health and wellness. Our focus will be at the local and community level, taking advantage of our thousands of locations and touchpoints throughout the country to intervene with consumers to help predict and prevent potential health
problems before they occur. Together, we will help address the challenges our health care system is facing, and we&#146;ll be able to offer better care and convenience at a lower cost for patients and payors.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the close of the transaction, Aetna will operate as a standalone business within the CVS Health enterprise and will be led by members of its current
management team. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of the agreement reached with the DOJ, as previously announced, Aetna entered into an asset purchase agreement with a subsidiary
of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) for the divestiture of Aetna&#146;s standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, which have an aggregate of approximately 2.2&nbsp;million members. Aetna will provide administrative services to and
will retain the financial results of the divested plans through 2019. DOJ&#146;s clearance, subject to this limited divestiture, moves CVS Health closer to realizing the substantial synergies and value expected from the combination. </P>
