merger with Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc., SXC Health Solutions Corp.

challenges. The merged company will have estimated annual revenues of
$13 billion, placing it among the top 250 companies in the U.S. and
among the top 15 companies in the Chicagoland area, where it is
headquartered. Catamaran will serve approximately 25 million members
and will have an annual volume of more than 200 million adjusted
pharmacy benefits management prescriptions.
