This excerpt taken from the CVS DEF 14A filed Mar 24, 2009. ITEMS 3 – 6: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company has received four proposals from its stockholders that are included in this proxy statement. In accordance with SEC rules, we are reprinting each proposal and its supporting statement as they were submitted to us. The Company is not responsible for the contents of the stockholder proposals or supporting statements. Some of the following stockholder proposals or supporting statements contain assertions (including as to governance rankings) that we believe are incorrect or misleading. We have not attempted to refute all of the inaccuracies contained in the proposals. For example, we in fact have a strong corporate governance record. In recognition of this, our Company has consistently received high scores on the RiskMetrics (formerly Institutional Shareholder Services) Corporate Governance Quotient, as of March 1, 2009 outranking over 69% of all companies on the S&P 500 and over 90% of all companies within our industry group. The Company’s Board of Directors urges a vote AGAINST each of the following stockholder proposals, for the reasons detailed after each proposal and supporting statement.
