Exhibit 10.1

SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

This SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 9, 2023 by and between Cencora, Inc., formerly known as AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Walgreens Boots Alliance Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a stockholder of the Company (the “Selling Stockholder”).

Background

A.           The Selling Stockholder owns an aggregate of 31,769,546 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

B.           The Selling Stockholder intends to enter into certain variable pre-paid forward transactions (the “VPF Transactions”) between the Selling Stockholder and one or more dealers in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with which shares of Common Stock (the “144 Shares”) shall be sold in one unregistered block trade (the “Rule 144 Sale”).

C.           The Selling Stockholder wishes to sell to the Company, and the Company wishes to repurchase from the Selling Stockholder, shares of the Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholder at the per share block price of the Rule 144 Sale used as the reference price to determine the terms of the VPF Transactions (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) and upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement (the “Repurchase”).

D.           The Company intends to use cash on its balance sheet to complete the Repurchase.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

Agreement

1.           Repurchase.

(b)           The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the consummation, at or prior to the Closing, of the closing of the Rule 144 Sale.

(c)           The closing of the sale of the Repurchase Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place upon the same day as the closing of the Rule 144 Sale at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 1701 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Stockholder. At the Closing, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the Repurchase Shares, and the Company agrees to deliver to the Selling Stockholder by wire transfer of immediately available funds that the Selling Stockholder shall designate in writing at least two business days prior to the Closing the Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Repurchase Shares being sold by the Selling Stockholder (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”).
