Total compensation for Express Scripts Chairman and CEO George Paz slid 17 percent in 2011, matching a drop the pharmacy benefits manager's stock took largely after it announced a $29.1 billion acquisition of competitor Medco Health Solutions Inc. last July.

Paz, 56, received compensation valued at $8.5 million, according to an Associated Press analysis of the St. Louis company's annual proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That compares to a total of $10.3 million in 2010.
