Stock Repurchase Program

On March 6, 2013, the board of directors of Express Scripts Holding Company (the “Company”) approved a new share repurchase program (the “2013 Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to 75 million shares (as adjusted for any subsequent stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction) of the Company’s common stock. The 2013 Program is of indefinite duration. The purchases may be effected by means of open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at management’s discretion, including pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

There can be no assurance as to the precise number of shares that will be repurchased under the 2013 Program, or the aggregate dollar amount of the shares purchased. Depending on market conditions, regulatory, legal and contractual requirements and other factors, repurchases may be made at any time or from time to time, without prior notice. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.
