Summary
This 8-K filing from CVS Health reports on the outcomes of its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 16, 2024. The primary focus for investors is the stockholder approval of amendments to the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP), which will increase the number of shares available for issuance by 33.5 million.

Additionally, the filing confirms the election of all 12 director nominees, the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor for 2024, and the advisory approval of executive compensation.
