Item 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

On December 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of CVS Caremark Corporation (the “Company”) approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from the Saturday nearest December 31 of each year to December 31 of each year. Company management previously discussed during quarterly earnings announcements the desire to make this change, which was subject to Board approval, to better reflect the Company’s position in the healthcare, rather than retail, industry.

The fiscal year change is effective beginning with the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, which will now end on December 31, 2008. The Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 will cover the period from December 30, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Prior to Board approval of this change, the Saturday nearest December 31, 2008 would have resulted in a 53-week fiscal year that would have ended January 3, 2009. The Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2009 will now cover the period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009.

ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was previously the principal accountants for CVS Caremark Corporation (the “Company”). On September 26, 2007, KPMG was dismissed as the Company’s principal accountants.

The decision to change accountants was made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on September 25, 2007 and followed the Audit Committee’s review, as part of its corporate governance practices, of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

During the fifty-two week periods ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the subsequent interim period through September 26, 2007, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fifty-two week periods ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as follows: KPMG’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fifty-two week periods ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 contained a separate paragraph stating that “As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, CVS Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, effective January 1, 2006.”

The audit reports of KPMG on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The Company furnished a copy of the above disclosures to KPMG and requested that KPMG provide a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of KPMG’s letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

At the same meeting, the Audit Committee determined to engage Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm commencing with audit services for the fiscal quarter ending September 29, 2007.

Ernst & Young served as the independent registered public accounting firm for Caremark Rx, Inc. (“Caremark”) prior to Caremark’s merger with the Company in March 2007.
