As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2025, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Blazing Star Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Blazing Star Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the other affiliates of Parent named therein (collectively, together with Parent and Merger Sub, the “Parent Entities”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company.

On July 11, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Merger Agreement.

As of June 6, 2025, the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Special Meeting, there were 865,560,675 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote on each matter considered at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 717,727,706 shares of Company Common Stock held by holders other than Stefano Pessina, John Lederer, Parent and any of their respective affiliates (the “Unaffiliated Stockholders”). A total of 648,219,746 shares of Company Common Stock, representing approximately 74.89% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote, were present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

The Special Meeting was held to consider the following proposals:

Each proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2025 and first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on June 6, 2025. The Merger Agreement and the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal were each approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below.

The Merger Agreement Proposal

Approval of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement required both the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on such matter at the Special Meeting (the “Majority of the Outstanding Shares”) and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by the Unaffiliated Stockholders cast on such matter at the Special Meeting (the “Majority of the Unaffiliated Shares Cast”). A total of 500,386,777 shares of Company Common Stock held by the Unaffiliated Stockholders were cast on this matter at the Special Meeting.

The Merger Agreement was approved by the requisite votes of the Company’s stockholders.
