CVS Health was founded in 1892 and is headquartered in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.  The Company was formerly known as CVS Caremark Corporation and changed its name to CVS Health Corporation in September 2014.  CVS Health, together with its subsidiaries, provides integrated pharmacy health care services, operating through its Pharmacy Services and Retail/LTC segments. 

On May 20, 2015, CVS Pharmacy, Inc. ("CVS Pharmacy"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS Health, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare"), a provider of pharmaceuticals and related pharmacy services to long-term care facilities and provider of specialty pharmacy and commercialization services for the bio-pharmaceutical industry (the "Omnicare Acquisition").  According to CVS Health's SEC filings, upon the effective date of the Omnicare Acquisition, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Omnicare would be converted into the right to receive $98.00 in cash, or approximately $10.6 billion in the aggregate.  In addition, CVS Pharmacy would assume approximately $2.3 billion in debt of Omnicare.
