of Arthur Andersen, as
required under Section&nbsp;7 of the Securities Act of 1933, to the inclusion of

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AdvancePCS, a Delaware corporation, is empowered by Section&nbsp;145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, subject to the procedures and
limitations stated therein, to indemnify certain parties. Section&nbsp;145 of the
DGCL provides in part that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any
Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such
Persons against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, if such Person acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a
court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such Person shall not have
been adjudged liable to the corporation. Where an officer or a director is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to
above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. Section&nbsp;145 further
provides that any indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by
the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of such Person is proper because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;145, such determination shall be made,
with respect to a Person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, by: (i)&nbsp;the stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding even if less
than a quorum; (iii)&nbsp;a committee of directors who are not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding designated by majority vote by such disinterested
directors even if less than a quorum; or (iv)&nbsp;an independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, if there are no such disinterested directors, or if such
disinterested directors so direct.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 provides further that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a
Person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;IX of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of AdvancePCS, or certificate, eliminates the personal liability of
AdvancePCS&#146;s directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended.
Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a company&#146;s certificate of incorporation
to eliminate or limit personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director: (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (which addresses director liability for
unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or
(iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;X of the certificate provides that AdvancePCS shall indemnify any
and all Persons whom it has the power to indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, and such indemnity shall continue as to a
Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
Person.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to indemnification under Article&nbsp;X of the certificate is a
contract right which includes, with respect to directors and officers, the
right to be paid by AdvancePCS the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL
requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon
delivery to AdvancePCS of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or
officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under Article&nbsp;X
or otherwise.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VIII of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of AdvancePCS, or
bylaws, provides that AdvancePCS shall indemnify any Person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of AdvancePCS) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
Advance PCS, or is or was serving at the request of AdvancePCS as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of AdvancePCS, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, to the
fullest extent permitted by the bylaws, subject to the DGCL.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VIII of the bylaws further provides AdvancePCS with authority to

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement:
(1)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2002, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (File
No. 0-21447);
(2)
All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since March 31, 2002; and
(3)
The description of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock
contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A, as
filed with the Commission on December 14, 2000, including any
amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such
description.
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Statements contained
in this Registration Statement or in a document incorporated by reference may
be modified or superseded by later statements in this Registration Statement or
by statements in subsequent documents incorporated by reference, in which case
you should refer to the later statement.
Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen"), which audited our financial statements
for the years ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, no longer serves as
AdvancePCS's independent public accountant. Arthur Andersen consented to the
inclusion of their report in the annual reports and registration statements we
filed prior to January 31, 2002 but not after such date. Some changes to the
financial statements covered by Arthur Andersen LLP's report for 2000 and 2001
were made after January 31, 2002, but we do not believe these changes
materially affect the financial results covered by Arthur Andersen's report. A
complete discussion of these changes is located in Notes 2 and 15 to the
financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2002 which is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

Table of Contents
We have not been able to obtain, after reasonable efforts, the written consent
of Arthur Andersen, as
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, to the inclusion of
their reports in this prospectus, and we have dispensed with the requirement to
file their consent in reliance on Rule 437(a). As a result, holders of our
securities, whether acquired under employee benefit plans, on the open market,
or otherwise, may have no effective remedy against Arthur Andersen if there is
a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements incorporated by
reference in this prospectus. In particular, because of this lack of consent,
holders of our securities will not be entitled to recovery against Arthur
Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for any untrue
statements of material fact contained in the financial statements audited by
Arthur Andersen or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated
in those financial statements.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
AdvancePCS, a Delaware corporation, is empowered by Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, subject to the procedures and
limitations stated therein, to indemnify certain parties. Section 145 of the
DGCL provides in part that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any
Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such
Persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, if such Person acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a
court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such Person shall not have
been adjudged liable to the corporation. Where an officer or a director is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to
above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. Section 145 further
provides that any indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by
the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of such Person is proper because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct. Pursuant to Section 145, such determination shall be made,
with respect to a Person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, by: (i) the stockholders; (ii) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding even if less
than a quorum; (iii) a committee of directors who are not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding designated by majority vote by such disinterested
directors even if less than a quorum; or (iv) an independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, if there are no such disinterested directors, or if such
disinterested directors so direct.
Section 145 provides further that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a
Person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

Table of Contents
Article IX of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of AdvancePCS, or certificate, eliminates the personal liability of
AdvancePCS's directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a company's certificate of incorporation
to eliminate or limit personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (which addresses director liability for
unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Article X of the certificate provides that AdvancePCS shall indemnify any
and all Persons whom it has the power to indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, and such indemnity shall continue as to a
Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
Person.
The right to indemnification under Article X of the certificate is a
contract right which includes, with respect to directors and officers, the
right to be paid by AdvancePCS the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL
requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon
delivery to AdvancePCS of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or
officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under Article X
or otherwise.
Article VIII of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of AdvancePCS, or
bylaws, provides that AdvancePCS shall indemnify any Person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of AdvancePCS) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
Advance PCS, or is or was serving at the request of AdvancePCS as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of AdvancePCS, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, to the
fullest extent permitted by the bylaws, subject to the DGCL.
Article VIII of the bylaws further provides AdvancePCS with authority to
purchase and maintain insurance with respect to indemnification on behalf of
any Person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of AdvancePCS
or is or was serving at the request of AdvancePCS as director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise. AdvancePCS maintains directors' and officers' liability
insurance.
In addition, Section 11.05 of the AdvancePCS Employee Stock Purchase Plan
provides indemnification by AdvancePCS against and from (i) any loss, cost,
liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or
proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be
involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan; and (ii) any
and all amounts paid by such person in satisfaction of judgment in any such
action, suit, or proceeding relating to the Plan to any Board member or
Committee member for acts or failures to act under the Plan except to the
extent that any such loss, cost, liability or expense arises from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such person.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and
(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by these paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
II-5
Table of Contents
The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
