Summary
CVS Health Corporation (CVS) announced on August 12, 2020, the initiation of significant cash tender offers for its outstanding senior notes, along with those issued by its subsidiary Aetna Inc. The company is looking to repurchase up to $3 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 2023-maturing notes (including 4.000%, 3.700%, and 2.800% rates) and up to another $3 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 2025-maturing notes (including 4.100% and 3.875% rates).
