Summary
This Form 8-K filing from CVS Caremark Corporation, dated February 8, 2012, primarily serves to announce the company's financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. The report itself does not contain the detailed financial data but rather attaches a press release (Exhibit 99.1) that provides these results. Investors should refer to the press release for specific operational and financial condition details for the period. This filing is a standard disclosure mechanism for material events, in this case, the release of quarterly and annual earnings. While the 8-K itself is brief, the attached press release is the critical document for understanding CVS Caremark's performance and financial standing as of the end of 2011. The filing indicates that the information furnished is not being incorporated into any future SEC registration statements unless specifically referenced, which is typical for earnings release filings.
