• Following the close of the transaction, Kyle Armbrester will continue to lead Signify Health as part of CVS Health.

• CVS Health expects to fund the transaction with existing cash from its balance sheet.

• CVS Health and Signify Health anticipate that the transaction will close in the first half of 2023.
