STEVE COLLIS, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF AMERISOURCEBERGEN:

Earlier in January, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire MWI Veterinary Supply, a premier animal health distributor, for $2.5 billion in cash.  We commenced the tender offer for all outstanding shares of MWI on January 26th, and we expect to close the transaction during the March quarter.  As I said when we first announced the deal, ABC has delivered significant growth and shareholder value by staying focused on the pharmaceutical supply chain, where we have developed unparalleled knowledge and expertise, and by bringing a collaborative philosophy to all of our relationships.  Jim Cleary and his team at MWI will be ideal partners with whom to build on that foundation and extend our reach into the growing global animal health sector.  MWI is already well respected for their great success since the company was founded in 1976 and went public in 2005, but we believe that by combining MWI’s legacy of success and innovation, with ABC’s relevant experience in manufacturer and provider services and our global reach, we will create a compelling opportunity to launch the next generation of superior animal health products and services.   I am very excited about the future contributions that Jim and his team will make to AmerisourceBergen, and about the potential for growth that we see ahead.
