Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 4, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Company”) unanimously approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). The principal amendments to the Bylaws are summarized as follows:

(1) Section 2.03 (“Notice and Business of Meetings”) was amended for purposes of making the following changes to the advance notice bylaw provisions: (i) to change the deadline for providing notice to the Secretary of the Company of a stockholder’s intent to bring business or to nominate a person for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders from not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting to not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; (ii) to require additional information in any such notice, including, among other things, disclosure of any derivative positions held beneficially or of record by such stockholder in the Company’s securities and whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transactions or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of the stockholder, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding has been made, the effect or intent of which is to increase or decrease the voting power of the stockholder with respect to the Company’s securities; (iii) to require a representation from the stockholder providing any such notice regarding whether the stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of the proposal or nomination; and (iv) to require, by written notice provided within ten (10) days after the record date, any information required by the applicable advance notice provisions to be supplemented to speak as of the record date for the annual meeting of stockholders.

(2) Section 2.09(b) (“Election of Directors”) was amended to change the date on which a stockholder may withdraw a proposed nominee for director, which may have the effect of changing the voting standard applicable to the election of directors. Under Section 2.09(b) of the Bylaws, the nomination of a person for election as a director by a stockholder in compliance with all of the applicable requirements of the Bylaws has the effect of changing the voting standard applicable to the election of directors at a meeting of the stockholders from a majority vote standard to a plurality vote standard unless all stockholder nominations for directors are withdrawn on or prior to the tenth day preceding the mailing date of Company’s notice of the meeting.

(3) Section 3.13 (“Removal of Directors”) and Section 9.01 (“Amendments”) were amended to replace all supermajority vote requirements with a majority vote requirement.

(4) Section 2.03 (“Notice and Business of Meetings”), Section 3.07 (“Special Meetings; Notice and Waiver of Notice”), and Section 4.03 (“Meetings; Notice and Waiver of Notice”) were amended to allow for electronic transmission of notices of meetings of the stockholders, special meetings of the Board and special meetings of committees of the Board, in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law Section 232.

(5) Section 3.11 (“Action Without a Meeting”) was amended in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law Section 141(f) to allow the Board to act without a meeting by consent using electronic technology in addition to acting by consent in writing as previously authorized.

The amendments to the Bylaws are effective as of March 4, 2010.

As a result of the amendments to the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws, for proposals other than those governed by Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company must receive notice of a stockholder’s intent to bring business or to nominate a person for election as a director at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders no earlier than November 3, 2010 and no later than December 3, 2010.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Bylaws set forth in Item 5.03 of this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

(iii) The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish additional information as may be reasonably required to determine the qualifications of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation; including, but not limited to, such information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understating of independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03(c). If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

SECTION 2.04. Adjournments. Whenever a meeting of stockholders, annual or special, is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat. At the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

SECTION 2.05. Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders, except where otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on a matter at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of the foregoing, where a separate vote by class or classes is required for any matter, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Two or more classes or series of stock shall be considered a single class if the holders thereof are entitled to vote together as a single class at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum of the holders of any class of stock entitled to vote on a matter, the meeting of such class may be adjourned from time to time in the manner provided by these Bylaws until a quorum of such class shall be so present or represented. Shares of its own capital stock belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of Directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

-5-

SECTION 2.06. Organization. The Chairman of the Board shall act as chairman at all meetings of stockholders at which he or she is present, and as such chairman shall call such meetings of stockholders to order and preside thereat. If the Chairman of the Board shall be absent from any meeting of stockholders, the duties otherwise provided in this Section 2.06 to be performed by him or her at such meeting, shall be performed at such meeting by a chairman designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

SECTION 2.07. Inspectors of Elections. Prior to any meeting of stockholders, the Board, or a Chairman of the Board designated by the Board, shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting and make a written report thereof and may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at the meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons to assist them in the performance of their duties. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxy or vote, nor any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted therewith, any information provided by a stockholder who submits a proxy by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission from which it can be determined that the proxy was authorized by the stockholder, ballots and the regular books and record of the Corporation, and they may also consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for such purpose, they shall, at the time they make their certification, specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

SECTION 2.08. Fixing of Record Date. The Board may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any meeting of stockholders, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof, and in such case such stockholders and only such stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such

-6-

meeting and any adjournment thereof, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid. No record date shall precede the date on which the Board establishes such record date. The Secretary shall prepare and make or cause to be prepared and made, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place, specified in the notice of the meeting, within the city where the meeting is to be held, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. Such list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

SECTION 2.09. Voting; Proxies. (a) General. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, every reference in these Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of shares of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such shares of stock. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with a Secretary. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting or the Board.

(b) Election of Directors. Each nominee for Director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for which (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for Directors set forth in Article II, Section 2.03(c) of these Bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the tenth day preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. If Directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee.

(c) Other Action by Stockholders. In all other matters, unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

(d) Separate Class Vote. Where a separate vote by class or classes is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes, except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

AMERISOURCEBERGEN RE-ELECTS THREE BOARD MEMBERS
AND REAFFIRMS FISCAL 2010 EXPECTATIONS AT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 4, 2010 — At the AmerisourceBergen Corporation (NYSE: ABC) annual meeting of stockholders, held today in Philadelphia, Company stockholders re-elected three directors: Richard W. Gochnauer, Edward E. Hagenlocker and Henry W. McGee. Stockholders also ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2010 and approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to replace all supermajority vote requirements with a majority vote requirement.

During the meeting, AmerisourceBergen’s President and Chief Executive Officer, R. David Yost, gave an overview of the Company’s activities and reaffirmed the Company’s expectations for fiscal year 2010.

“AmerisourceBergen continues to expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 to be in a range of $1.89 to $1.98, which represents an increase of 12 percent to 17 percent over the $1.69 in fiscal year 2009,” said Yost. “Also unchanged are our key assumptions supporting this diluted earnings per share range, which are: revenue growth of between 7 percent and 8 percent; operating margin expansion in the low to mid single digit basis point range; and free cash flow in the range of $500 million to $575 million, which includes capital expenditures in the $140 million range. Assumptions also include the expected repurchase of approximately $350 million of AmerisourceBergen common shares in fiscal 2010.”

Mr. Gochnauer, 60, has been a member of the Board of Directors since September 2008. He has been President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of United Stationers Inc., a wholesale distributor of business products, since 2002, and served as Chief Operating Officer from July to December 2002. He was President and Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman and President, International, of Golden State Foods Corporation from 1994 to 2002. He currently is a Director of Golden State Foods Corporation.

Mr. Hagenlocker, 70, has been a member of the AmerisourceBergen Board of Directors since the Company’s inception in 2001. Prior to that, he was a director of AmeriSource Health Corporation from 1999 to 2001. He was Vice Chairman of Ford Motor Company from 1996 until his retirement in 1999 and Chairman of Visteon Automotive Systems from 1997 to 1999. He also served as President of Ford Automotive Operations from 1994 to 1996 and Chairman of Ford of Europe in 1996. Mr. Hagenlocker is also a Director of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited.

Mr. McGee, 57, has been an AmerisourceBergen Director since 2004, and since 1995 has been President of HBO Home Entertainment, a distributor of videos and DVDs and a unit of Home Box Office, Inc. He has held a variety of other positions with Home Box Office, Inc., Time Warner, Inc. (parent of Home Box Office) and their predecessors since 1979.
