On December 16, 2016, Express Scripts Holding Company (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an increase in the authorized number of shares that may be repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) by an additional 65 million shares, or a total authorization of 330 million shares (including shares previously purchased), of the Company’s common stock (as adjusted for any subsequent stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction). The purchases may be effected by means of open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or otherwise, at management’s discretion, including pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Repurchase Program is of indefinite duration and 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.
