Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 3, 2010, CVS Caremark Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it has hired Hank Mullany to be Executive Vice President, CVS Caremark Corporation and President, CVS/pharmacy. Mr. Mullany will begin his duties on December 6, 2010. Mr. Mullany was Executive Vice President of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Walmart”) and President of Walmart North, where he was responsible for the operation of 1,300 stores across 19 states.

The Company’s related press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Walmart has filed a lawsuit alleging that Mr. Mullany’s non-competition agreement prohibits him from working for the Company. The Company and Mr. Mullany believe that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that Mr. Mullany’s agreement with Walmart should not prevent him from working for the Company. Prior to hiring Mr. Mullany, the Company and Mr. Mullany attempted to resolve the dispute with Walmart. The Company and Mr. Mullany intend to aggressively defend the lawsuit filed by Walmart.
