EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“CVS Health Stock”), of CVS Health Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that are reserved and available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Signify Health, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which Plan was assumed by the Company in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Signify Health, Inc. (“Signify”). The Company previously registered on Form S-8 shares of CVS Health Stock issuable in respect of certain outstanding and unvested Signify equity awards that were assumed by the Company and converted into equity awards with respect to shares of CVS Health Stock. The Company is filing this Registration Statement to register the number of shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Plan. The number of shares of CVS Health Stock being registered on this Registration Statement is based on the number of shares of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Signify that were reserved and available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Plan as of March 29, 2023, as adjusted on the same basis as the assumed Signify equity awards.

The documents containing the information specified in Part I of Form S-8 will be sent or given to the participants in the Plan covered by this Registration Statement as required by Rule 428(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such documents are not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) either as part of this Registration Statement or as a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

 

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

 

The following documents filed with the Commission by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), are incorporated herein by reference:

 

  (a) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Commission on February 8, 2023, and any amendment thereto (the “2022 Form 10-K”), except to the extent superseded by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 25, 2023, relating to the realigned composition of the Company’s segments;

 

  (b) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Commission on August 2, 2023, and any amendment thereto;
     
  (c) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission since December 31, 2022 (other than portions of those documents furnished or otherwise not deemed to be filed); and

 

  (d) the description of the Company’s capital stock contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Commission on January 4, 2018, including any amendments or supplements thereto, including Amendment No. 1 filed on January 26, 2018, Amendment No. 2 filed on February 5, 2018 and Amendment No. 3 filed on February 9, 2018, as updated by Exhibit 4.21 to the 2022 Form 10-K, together with any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

 

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.

 

   

 

 

Any statement contained herein or in a document all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein (or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein) modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director or officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring before the date when such provision becomes effective. The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Company Charter”) limits the personal liability of a director to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The Company Charter provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company against liability they may incur in their capacities as such to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

 

The directors and officers of the Company are insured under a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

   

 

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
