Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Ed Ignaczak, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Express Scripts Holding Company (the “Company”) adopted a prearranged trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, on June 10, 2013 for personal financial management purposes. Rule 10b5-1 plans permit insiders to sell fixed portions of their holdings over a designated period of time by establishing a prearranged written plan at a time when the insider is not aware of material non-public information. Such plans can provide for the selling of a predetermined number of shares in order to diversify an investment portfolio, potentially minimize the market effect of share sales by spreading them out over a period of time and avoid concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material non-public information.

Mr. Ignaczak’s plan provides for (i) the potential exercise of previously granted stock options, and (ii) the potential sale of certain shares of the Company’s common stock, including shares to be acquired upon the exercise of stock options. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report stock trading plans by other Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications or termination of any publicly-announced plan, including the plan described herein. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock covered by Mr. Ignaczak’s plan represents approximately 27% of his total Company holdings (including unvested equity awards and shares underlying vested and unvested stock options).
