Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(a) Medco Health Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Medco”), held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of Medco stockholders on December 21, 2011. At the Special Meeting, Medco stockholders approved the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 20, 2011 and amended on November 7, 2011, by and among Express Scripts, Inc., Medco, Aristotle Holding, Inc., Aristotle Merger Sub, Inc. and Plato Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”). Sufficient votes were received to approve the proposal for the adjournment of the Special Meeting (if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement), but an adjournment was not necessary in light of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the non-binding advisory vote to approve certain compensation arrangements for Medco’s named executive officers in connection with the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement was also approved by Medco stockholders.

(b) There were 387,152,813 shares of Medco common stock issued and outstanding on the record date and eligible to be voted at the Special Meeting and 280,792,765 shares represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, which constituted a quorum to conduct business at the meeting.

The items voted upon at the Special Meeting and the final voting results for each proposal were as follows:

1. To adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 20, 2011, as amended on November 7, 2011 and as it may be amended from time to time, by and among Express Scripts, Inc., Medco, Aristotle Holding, Inc., Aristotle Merger Sub, Inc., and Plato Merger Sub, Inc.
