Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 2, 2012, in connection with the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 8.01), Express Scripts, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the changes contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Item 8.01). Effective that same date, the Company amended and restated its bylaws to reflect the changes contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Effective April 2, 2012, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 20, 2011, as amended on November 7, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (“Medco”), Express Scripts Holding Company (f/k/a Aristotle Holding, inc.) (the “Parent”), Aristotle Merger Sub, Inc. and Plato Merger Sub, Inc., following the consummation of the mergers contemplated thereby (the “Mergers”), each of the Company and Medco became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent.

Upon completion of the Mergers, each share of common stock of Medco (other than shares held by Medco as treasury stock or that are owned by Medco, Plato Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Medco and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under Delaware law were properly exercised and not withdrawn) was converted into (i) the right to receive $28.80 in cash, without interest, and (ii) 0.81 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock of the Parent, while the Company’s stockholders received Parent shares in a one-for-one exchange for their former shares of common stock of the Company. A portion of the cash component of the merger consideration was funded by the Parent through drawings under its credit facility.

The issuance of Parent common stock in connection with the Mergers, as described above, was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Parent’s registration statement on Form S–4 (File No. 333–177187) (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on November 15, 2011. The common stock of the Parent will trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “ESRX”.

Trading in shares of common stock of the Company on the NASDAQ Global Select Market has been halted. As a consequence of the Mergers, a Form 25 will be filed with the SEC, to request the removal of the common stock of the Company from listing and registration on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
