Any and All Notes:

The Any and All Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 2, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), which sets forth a more detailed description of the Any and All Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the form of notice of guaranteed delivery with respect to the Any and All Notes ("Notice of Guaranteed Delivery") are available at www.dfking.com/cvs. The Any and All Tender Offer is open to all registered holders (individually, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") of the Any and All Notes.

The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Any and All Notes was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread set forth in the table above plus the yield to maturity of the UST Reference Security set forth in the table above on the bid-side price of such UST Reference Security as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2024.

Any and All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, or in respect of which a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase (the "Guaranteed Delivery Procedures"), at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2024 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Any and All Expiration Date") (unless earlier terminated by CVS Health as described in the Offer to Purchase), that are accepted for purchase will receive the Total Consideration for the Any and All Notes.

The settlement date for the Any and All Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date, or validly tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures, and accepted for purchase is expected to be December 11, 2024, the third business day following the Any and All Expiration Date (the "Any and All Settlement Date").

In addition to the Total Consideration for the Any and All Notes, Holders of the Any and All Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") on those Any and All Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Any and All Notes to, but not including, the Any and All Settlement Date.

Holders who tender their Any and All Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2024 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Any and All Withdrawal Deadline") may withdraw such tendered Any and All Notes at any time at or prior to the Any and All Withdrawal Deadline. Following the Any and All Withdrawal Deadline, Holders who have tendered their Any and All Notes may not withdraw such Any and All Notes unless CVS Health is required to extend withdrawal rights under applicable law.

CVS Health expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to amend, extend or terminate the Any and All Tender Offer at any time prior to the Any and All Expiration Date. The Any and All Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Any and All Notes being tendered but the Any and All Tender Offer is subject to a financing condition and certain other general conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase.
