This excerpt taken from the CVS DEF 14A filed Mar 24, 2009. The Company has established and maintains an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Select Senior Management of the Company (the SERP). As the Company does not have a qualified defined benefit plan, the SERP is designed to supplement the retirement benefits of selected executives. Under the SERPs benefit formula, executives selected for participation (including each of the executive officers specified in the table and certain other executives) will receive an annual benefit commencing on the later of age 55 or retirement, equal to 1.6% of a three-year average of final compensation (as defined in the SERP) for each year of service up to 30 years, with no offset for any amounts provided by the Companys qualified plans, Social Security or other retirement benefits. As part of a retention agreement

Table of Contentsentered into with Mr. Ryan in August 2005, the 30-year limit on service will be removed for Mr. Ryan if he remains employed with the Company through December 31, 2009, or if he terminates earlier by reason of death or disability or is terminated by the Company without cause. Final compensation for purposes of the SERPs benefit formula is the average of the executives three highest years of annual salary and annual cash bonus during the last ten years of service. The estimated credited years of benefit service for Messrs. Ryan, Rickard, Bodine, Merlo and Sgarro as of the measurement date of December 31, 2008 were 30, 9, 22, 30 and 11 years, respectively. Benefits under the SERPs benefit formula are payable in annual installments for the life of the executive, unless the executive has made an advance election in accordance with plan and IRS rules, to have the benefit paid in the form of a lump sum or joint and survivor annuity of equivalent actuarial value. As of the measurement date, no executive has made an election to receive his benefit on account of termination of employment in the form of a lump sum. No benefits are payable to an eligible executive until he or she terminates employment. After termination of employment, SERP benefits are payable (i) immediately, if the executive is age 55 or older at the time of termination, regardless of years of service, or (ii) upon reaching age 55, if the executive is younger than 55 at the time of termination and five or more years of Company service were completed prior to termination. As of the measurement date, only Messrs. Ryan and Rickard are eligible for an immediate annuity benefit. The accumulated values for the Pension Table and Summary Compensation Table are based on the benefit accrued as of the measurement date payable as a single life annuity commencing on the earliest unreduced retirement age (55) using assumptions which include a 6.25% discount rate as of December 31, 2008. Annual benefits accrued as of the measurement date and payable as a single life annuity at the earliest unreduced retirement age are: for Mr. Ryan, $2,699,033; for Mr. Rickard, $210,006; for Mr. Bodine, $834,415; for Mr. Merlo, $1,120,523; and for Mr. Sgarro, $304,928. Each of the executives is fully vested in his accrued benefit. The accrued benefit for Mr. Ryan reflects his waiver of his rights to $100,967 of that benefit, and the accrued benefit for Mr. Rickard reflects his waiver of his rights to $161,465 of that benefit. For further information regarding pension assumptions, please see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In the event an executive elects to receive a lump sum, the present value of accumulated SERP benefits as of the measurement date, based on the SERPs assumptions for determining lump sums, would be: for Mr. Ryan, $38,617,764; for Mr. Rickard, $2,606,594; for Mr. Bodine, $11,445,671; for Mr. Merlo, $15,010,526; and for Mr. Sgarro, $3,506,977. Mr. McLure participates in the Caremark Rx, Inc. Special Retirement Plan (the SRP). The SRP was effective January 1, 2006. The SRP benefit (payable at age 60) is equal to 2.5% of the participants final average compensation multiplied by years of credited service. No more than 20 years of credited service can be counted in the pension formula. Final average compensation is the average of the base salary paid during the 36-month period prior to termination of employment. Years of credited service includes the number of full twelve-month periods during which the participant was employed by the company or one of its subsidiaries. The monthly benefit accrued as of the measurement date and payable over a ten-year period starting at the earliest unreduced retirement age is $17,066. The estimated credited years of benefit service for Mr. McLure as of the measurement date of December 31, 2008 was 11 years. A participant is fully vested in his SRP benefit at age 60, or at age 58 with 15 years of credited service. Benefits that commence prior to age 60 are reduced by 0.5% for each full month that benefits commence prior to age 60. For purposes of calculating benefits under the SRP, Mr. McLure received one additional year of credited service. The December 31, 2008 present values for the Pension Benefits Table and the Summary Compensation Table are calculated using a 6.25% discount rate and the SRPs normal retirement age of 60.
