Here is below the complete press release:
LISLE, IL, July 10, 2012 /CNW/ - Following the recent completion of its merger with Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc., SXC Health Solutions Corp. today unveiled a new name and brand for the company, as well as formally announced its leadership team.

Beginning tomorrow, the company's shares will be traded under the ticker CTRX on the NASDAQ and as CCT on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Catamaran will serve approximately 25 million members and will have an annual volume of more than 200 million adjusted pharmacy benefits management prescriptions.
