Closing of Notes Offering
On September 5, 2024, McKesson Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). On September 10, 2024, the Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated February 15, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated September 10, 2024, setting forth certain terms of the Notes (the “Officer’s Certificate”).
The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.250% per year. Interest on the Notes is payable on September 15 and March 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025.
Upon at least 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice to holders of the Notes, the Company may redeem the Notes for cash in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, (x) prior to August 15, 2029, at a redemption price that includes accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium that is calculated based on the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Officer’s Certificate) plus 15 basis points and (y) on or after August 15, 2029, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, in each case, as specified in the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate. The Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate include certain covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to create certain liens on its assets or enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to its properties, or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets, subject to a number of important exceptions as specified in the Indenture. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. The Indenture contains customary event of default provisions. In the event of the occurrence of both (1) a change of control of the Company and (2) a downgrade of the Notes below an investment grade rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined in the Officer’s Certificate) within a specified period, unless the Company has previously exercised its optional redemption right with respect to the Notes in whole, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes from the holders at a price in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
The public offering price of the Notes was 99.946%% of the principal amount. The Company received approximately $498.0 million in net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount but before deducting estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the 2026 Notes Redemption (as defined below).
The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-269523) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a prospectus supplement, dated September 5, 2024, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated February 2, 2023.
For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Officer’s Certificate, the Notes and the Underwriting Agreement, please refer to the Officer’s Certificate, the form of Note and the Underwriting Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference and attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, and 99.1, respectively.

Redemption of 2026 Notes
Concurrently with the launch of the offering of the Notes, on September 5, 2024, the Company issued a notice of redemption of all of its outstanding 5.250% notes due February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The redemption of the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Redemption”) will be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Officer’s Certificate, dated February 15, 2023, setting forth certain terms of the 2026 Notes (collectively, the “2026 Notes Indenture”), which provides for a redemption price on or after February 15, 2024 equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The foregoing description of the 2026 Notes Redemption is provided for informational purposes only, and this Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes Redemption will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture.
