About the Tenant:
(NYSE: CVS) (Investment Grade S&P Rated: BBB+)
CVS: www.cvs.com - The CVS pharmacy chain fills more prescriptions
at more drugstores than any other drugstore operator. Following
its acquisitions of the Eckerd chain and stores from Albertsons,
CVS operates approximately 6,200 stores in some 40 states.
More recently, CVS purchased prescription benefits management
(PBM) firm Caremark Rx for about $26.5 billion. Caremark was
combined with CVS’s PBM and specialty pharmacy subsidiary
PharmaCare Management Services, which offered managed-care
drug programs to insurers, employers, and other healthcare
plan providers, to form Caremark Pharmacy Services. The acquisition
of Caremark extended CVS’s buying spree beyond the retail
pharmacy industry and positioned the company as a leading
manager of pharmacy benefits in the US. Combined, CVS and
Caremark create a company that’s an industry leader
in pharmacy and specialty pharmacy sales, PBM lives managed,
mail-order pharmacy sales, and retail-based clinics (through
CVS-owned MinuteClinic). Prior to the Caremark purchase, PharmaCare
Management Services had been key to CVS’s growth. In
2007 CVS plans to open 100 new drugstores and add up to 300
MinuteClinic locations. Acquired by CVS in 2006, Minneapolis-based
MinuteClinic operates health clinics inside retail stores.
The CVS subsidiary runs more than 150 clinics in nearly 20
states.
