Walgreen, Express Scripts Dismiss Claims Against Each Other
Reuters: Walgreen, Express Scripts Drop Claims Against Each Other
Walgreen Co said on Friday that it and drug benefits manager Express Scripts Holding Co had dropped claims against each other stemming from a September 2011 lawsuit, but said the dismissals did not mean they were any closer to reaching a new deal. Walgreen, the largest U.S. drugstore chain, stopped filling prescriptions in January for members of Express Scripts, which manages prescription drug benefits for employers and other clients, after the two companies failed to agree on terms to renew their contract (6/1).
