Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of CVS Health or Signify Health. Statements in this press release that are forward looking include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the benefits of the proposed acquisition of Signify Health and the associated integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future operating performance and results of CVS Health, the expected management and governance of Signify Health following the acquisition, and the expected timing of the closing of the proposed acquisition and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. By their nature, all forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and/or quantify. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of CVS Health or Signify Health or both of them to terminate the merger agreement, including circumstances requiring a party to pay the other party a termination fee pursuant to the merger agreement; failure to obtain applicable regulatory or Signify Health stockholder approval in a timely manner or otherwise; the risk that the acquisition may not close in the anticipated timeframe or at all due to one or more of the other closing conditions to the transaction not being satisfied or waived; risks related to the ability of CVS Health and Signify Health to successfully integrate the businesses and achieve the expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected timeframes or at all and the possibility that such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of CVS Health and Signify Health’s common stock, credit ratings or operating results; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of CVS Health and Signify Health to retain customers and maintain relationships with each of their business partners, suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; the risk of litigation and/or regulatory actions related to the proposed acquisition; and other business effects, including the effects of industry, market, economic, political or regulatory conditions. Also, CVS Health’s and Signify Health’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of additional reasons as described in our respective SEC filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our respective most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for our respective second quarters of 2022 and our respective Current Reports on Form 8-K.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on CVS Health’s or Signify Health’s forward-looking statements. CVS Health’s and Signify Health’s respective forward-looking statements are and will be based upon each company’s management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding the CVS Health’s proposed acquisition of Signify Health, future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Neither CVS Health nor Signify Health assumes any duty to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, uncertainties or otherwise.

The press release and presentation may include non-GAAP financial measures that CVS Health uses to describe its performance. In accordance with SEC regulations, you can find the definitions of these non-GAAP measures, as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, on the Investor Relations Resources portion of CVS Health’s website. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. CVS Health’s definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
