Regulation FD Disclosure |
On May 31, 2011, Keith J. Ebling, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Express Scripts,
Inc. (the Company), adopted prearranged trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 for personal financial management purposes. Rule 10b5-1 plans permit insiders
to sell fixed portions of their holdings over a designated period of time by establishing the
prearranged written plans at a time when they are not aware of material non-public information.
Such programs provide for regular selling of a predetermined, fixed number of shares in order to
gradually diversify the individuals investment portfolio, minimize the market effect of share
sales by spreading them out over an extended period of time and avoid concerns about initiating
transactions while in possession of material non-public information.
Mr. Eblings plans provide (i) for the sale of up to 20,960 shares of common stock to be acquired
upon the exercise of stock options granted in 2005; and (ii) through his revocable trust, for the
sale of up to 8,437 shares of common stock that Mr. Ebling
already owns and that had been previously
acquired through the vesting of restricted stock awards and contributed to his trust for estate
planning purposes. On the same date, Mr. Eblings spouse, through her revocable trust, adopted a
Rule 10b5-1 plan that provides for the sale of 31,563 shares of common stock that had been
previously acquired by Mr. Ebling through the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted
stock awards, which shares had been contributed to his spouses trust for estate planning purposes.
Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report stock trading plans by
other Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications or termination of any
publicly-announced plan, including Mr. Eblings plan.
