F1 Represents a sale in a private transaction to the Issuer by WBA Holdings.
F2 On May 11, 2023, Walgreens Boots Alliance Holdings LLC ("Counterparty"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (the "Reporting Person"), entered into variable pre-paid forward sale contracts (the "Contracts") with four unaffiliated financial institutions. The Contracts obligate Counterparty to deliver to the financial institutions in the aggregate up to 4,590,000 shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of AmerisourceBergen Corporation (or, at Counterparty's election, an equivalent amount of cash based on the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock) over a valuation period and may entitle Counterparty to an additional cash payment in respect of each valuation date of the Contracts. In exchange for assuming these obligations, Counterparty received cash payments from the financial institutions in an aggregate amount of approximately $644.3 million on or about the date of entering into the Contracts.
F3 [continued from FN (2)] Counterparty also pledged 4,590,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Pledged Shares") in the aggregate to the financial institutions or their affiliates to secure its obligations under the Contracts and retained certain dividend and voting rights on the Pledged Shares. In respect of each valuation date under the Contracts, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the financial institutions or cash to be delivered to (or by) the financial institutions is to be determined as follows: Counterparty may, at its election, subject to certain conditions (1) be obligated to deliver to the financial institutions the full number of shares to which such valuation date relates and will receive an additional cash payment determined as follows:
F4 [continued from FN (3)] (a) if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on such valuation date (the "Reference Price") is less than or equal to $ $151.9853 (the "Floor Price"), the additional cash payment would be zero, (b) if the Reference Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to $ $196.3855 (the "Cap Price"), the additional cash payment would equal the number of shares of Common Stock to which such valuation date relates multiplied by the excess of the Reference Price over the Floor Price and (c) if the Reference Price is greater than the Cap Price, the additional cash payment would equal the number of shares of Common Stock to which such valuation date relates multiplied by the excess of the Cap Price over the Floor Price. Alternatively, (2) Counterparty may elect, subject to certain conditions, to not receive any additional cash payment and be obligated to deliver to the financial institutions in the aggregate a number of shares of Common Stoc
F5 [continued from FN (4)] (or the cash value thereof at the Reference Price) determined as follows: (a) if the Reference Price is less than or equal to the Floor Price, the full number of shares to which such valuation date relates, (b) if the Reference Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to the Cap Price, a number of shares of Common Stock having a value (based on the Reference Price) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to which such valuation date relates multiplied by the Floor Price and (c) if the Reference Price is greater than the Cap Price, a number of shares of Common Stock having a value (based on the Reference Price) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to which such valuation date relates multiplied by the sum of the Floor Price and the excess of the Reference Price over the Cap Price.
F6 The Contracts are scheduled to mature evenly over a series of 30 valuation dates from June 2, 2025 to July 16, 2025, inclusive.
