McKesson Announces Final Results of Exchange Offer

The exchange offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2020. Under the terms of the offer, 11.4086 shares of SpinCo common stock were exchanged for each share of McKesson common stock accepted in the offer. McKesson accepted 15,426,537 of the tendered shares in exchange for 175,995,192 shares of SpinCo common stock, which were immediately converted into an equal number of whole shares of Change common stock (with cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon completion of the merger, which closed on March 10, 2020. The exchange offer and merger are generally expected to be tax-free to participating McKesson stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Change common stock.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, McKesson accepted tendered shares of McKesson common stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total number of shares validly tendered and accepted for exchange. Stockholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of McKesson common stock, or an “odd lot” of such shares, and who validly tendered all of their shares, were not subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. The final proration factor of approximately 14.82% was applied to all other shares of McKesson common stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn to determine the number of such shares that were accepted from each tendering stockholder.

Based on the final count by the exchange agent Equiniti Trust Company, the final results of the exchange offer are as follows:

In connection with the transactions, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is acting as legal advisor to McKesson.

Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to: changes in the healthcare industry and regulatory environment; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; material adverse resolution of pending legal proceedings, including those related to the distribution of controlled substances; cyberattack, natural disaster, or malfunction of sophisticated internal computer systems to perform as designed; the potential inadequacy of insurance to cover property loss or liability claims; the anticipated tax treatment of the Transactions; the expansion and growth of Change’s operations; ongoing risks related to the price or trading volume of McKesson’s and Change’s common stock; failure to pay dividends to holders of McKesson’s or Change’s common stock; impairment charges for goodwill; and the risk that disruptions from the Transactions will harm McKesson’s, SpinCo’s, Change Healthcare’s or Change’s businesses.
