Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously disclosed, on September 18, 2017, Rite Aid Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WBA”), and Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of WBA (“Buyer”). Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer will purchase a total of 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and related inventory from the Company for an all-cash purchase price of $4.375 billion on a cash-free, debt-free basis. As of January 18, 2018, the Company has completed the disposition of a “significant amount” of the Company’s assets within the meaning of, and in accordance with, the standards set forth in Item 2.01 of Form 8-K.
As previously disclosed, the Company has been transferring ownership of Company stores and related assets to Buyer in a series of ongoing closings, with the goal of completing the store transfers in the spring of 2018. As of January 18, 2018, the Company has transferred 561 stores and related assets and has received cash proceeds of $1,184,900,000. As of today, January 22, 2018, Rite Aid has transferred 625 stores and related assets to WBA, and has received cash proceeds of $1,309.8 million (the "Proceeds"). The Company will use a portion of the Proceeds from the Sale to fully prepay the outstanding $970 million balance on its two tranches of second priority secured term loans, the Tranche 1 Term Loan due August 2020 (the “Tranche 1 Term Loan”) and the Tranche 2 Term Loan due June 2021 (and together with the Tranche 1 Term Loan, the “Term Loans”). In connection with the prepayment of the Term Loans, all second priority liens will be released and discharged. The majority of the closing conditions have been satisfied, and the subsequent transfers of Company stores and related assets remain subject to minimal customary closing conditions applicable only to the stores being transferred at such subsequent closing, as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company does not have any material relationship with WBA or its subsidiaries, including Buyer, out of the ordinary course of business other than in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the continued disposition of assets, a transition services agreement and the Company’s option to purchase generic drugs from an affiliate of WBA, under terms, including costs, that are substantially similar to WBA for a period of ten years.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to provide unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company giving effect to the sale of all assets contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Specifically, this pro forma financial information gives effect to the completion of the sale of 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and related assets pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the sale of the remaining Company stores, distribution centers and related assets that have not occurred as of January 18, 2018 given that such sales are probable, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Although the Company believes that the sale of the remaining stores and related assets to Buyer will be consummated during the spring of 2018, there can be no assurance that all of the remaining closings will occur, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results would have been as set forth in the pro forma financial statements, and such differences could be material. In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the Company intends to file additional current reports on Form 8-K to disclose the closings of the sale of the remaining assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement when the Company completes the subsequent disposition of a significant amount of the Company’s assets pursuant to the applicable legal requirements. However, the Company does not intend to update the pro forma financial statements contained herein unless the Company is required to update such pro forma financial statements by applicable legal requirements.
The notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information includes the non-GAAP financial measure, “Adjusted EBITDA.” The Company uses this non-GAAP measure in assessing its performance in addition to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is also included in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare the Company’s operating performance with its competitors. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment, inventory write-downs related to store closings, debt retirements, the previously received WBA merger termination fee, and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, severance and costs related to distribution center closures, gain or loss on sale of assets and revenue deferrals related to the Company’s customer loyalty program). The Company references this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in its decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to historical periods and external comparisons to competitors. In addition, incentive compensation is based in part on Adjusted EBITDA and the Company bases certain of its forward-looking estimates and budgets on Adjusted EBITDA.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 19, 2017, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 22, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has completed the disposition of a “significant amount” of the Company’s assets within the meaning of, and in accordance with, the standards set forth in Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.2
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
On September 18, 2017, Rite Aid Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Walgreens Boots Alliance (“WBA”) and Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of WBA (“Buyer”), which amended and restated in its entirety the previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Original APA”), dated as of June 28, 2017, by and among the Company, WBA and Buyer. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer will purchase from the Company 1,932 stores (the “Acquired Stores”), three (3) distribution centers, related inventory and other specified assets and liabilities related thereto (collectively the “Assets to be Sold” or “Disposal Group”) for a purchase price of approximately $4.375 billion, on a cash-free, debt-free basis (the “Sale”). The Sale is scheduled to occur in increments, whereby the Assets to be Sold will be sold to Buyer over time based on guidelines as established in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement.
The Company announced on September 19, 2017 that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), expired with respect to the Sale. On November 27, 2017, the Company announced that it had completed the pilot closing and first subsequent closings under the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, resulting in the transfer of 97 Rite Aid stores and related assets to the Buyer. With the final significant closing condition met, and the successful completion of the pilot closing and the first subsequent closings, the Sale will proceed as contemplated under the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement. The Sale remains subject to minimal customary closing conditions applicable only to individual stores being transferred at such subsequent closings, as specified in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement.
The parties to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement have each made customary representations and warranties. The Company has agreed to various covenants and agreements, including, among others, the Company’s agreement to conduct its business at the Acquired Stores in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement and the subsequent closings. The Company has also agreed to provide transition services to Buyer for up to three (3) years after the initial closing of the Sale. During the thirteen week period ended December 2, 2017, the amount charged to Buyer for transition services was nominal.
In the event that the Company enters into an agreement to sell all of the remainder of Rite Aid or over 50% of its stock or assets to a third party prior to the end of the transition period under the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), any potential acquirer would be obligated to assume the Company’s remaining obligations under the TSA. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has the option to purchase pharmaceutical drugs through an affiliate of WBA under terms, including cost, that are substantially equivalent to WBA’s for a period of ten (10) years, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Divestiture of the Assets to be Sold
The Sale constituted a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Company prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Based on its magnitude and because the Company is exiting certain markets, the Sale represents a significant strategic shift that has a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company has applied discontinued operations treatment for the Sale as required by Accounting Standards Codification 210-05 – Discontinued Operations (ASC 205-20). In accordance with ASC 205-20, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities to be sold, including 1,932 stores (the “Acquired Stores”), three (3) distribution centers, related inventory and other specified assets and liabilities related thereto (collectively the “Assets to be Sold” or “Disposal Group”) to assets and liabilities held for sale on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the period ended December 2, 2017, and reclassified the financial results of the Disposal Group in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Additionally, corporate support activities related to the Disposal Group were not reclassified to discontinued operations.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 2, 2017 (the “unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet), which present the historical results of operations and financial position of the Company adjusted to reflect the impact of the Sale, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended December 2, 2017 and for each of the fiscal years ended March 4, 2017 February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015 (the “unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the Sale had occurred on December 2, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations present the Sale as if it occurred on March 1, 2014 for the thirty-nine week period ended December 2, 2017 and for the fiscal years ended March 4, 2017, February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this current Report on Form 8-K.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were based on and derived from our historical consolidated financial statements, adjusted to reflect discontinued operations presentation as required by ASC 205-20 and for those amounts which were determined to be directly attributable to the Sale, factually supportable, and with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on our consolidated results. Actual adjustments, however, may differ materially from the information presented.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is subject to adjustments and is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations or financial position would actually have been if the Sale had in fact occurred on the dates discussed above. It also does not project or forecast the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position for any future date or period. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 3, 2017 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 2, 2017 as filed with SEC on January 11, 2018. Such historical consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United states generally accepted accounting principles. Because the Sale qualifies as a discontinued operation that has not been reflected in the Company's historical consolidated financial statement filings with the SEC, pro forma income statements are provided herein for all historical financial statement periods that are presented in the aforementioned filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements contain the following adjustments:
(a) | To adjust the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the completion of the Sale as of December 2, 2017 as follows: |
Sources and Uses of Proceeds | ||||
Total anticipated cash proceeds | $ | 4,375,000 | ||
Proceeds received through December 2, 2017 | (240,900 | ) | ||
Net additional anticipated cash proceeds | $ | 4,134,100 | ||
Cash taxes | (86,000 | ) | ||
Closing costs, net of taxes | (63,800 | ) | ||
Anticipated proceeds that will be received from (used to pay) items settled in cash | ||||
(i.e. assets and liabilities that relate to the Disposal Group and are | ||||
recorded on the historical balance sheet as of December 2, 2017, that | ||||
are not being sold as part of the Sale): | ||||
Accounts receivable, net | 352,426 | |||
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 47,808 | |||
Accounts payable | (407,071 | ) | ||
Accrued salaries, wages and other current liabilities | (190,983 | ) | ||
Anticipated repayment of indebtedness with expected excess | ||||
Sale proceeds (a component of current liabilities held for sale). | (3,786,480 | ) | ||
Total anticipated uses | $ | (4,134,100 | ) |
(b) | Estimated gain components |
Anticipated cash proceeds | $ | 4,134,100 | ||
Current assets held for sale | (1,868,128 | ) | ||
Current liabilities held for sale | 51,039 | |||
Expense prepaid closing costs | (23,200 | ) | ||
Remove accrued closing costs | 11,200 | |||
Cash taxes | (86,000 | ) | ||
Closing costs, net of taxes | (63,800 | ) | ||
Remove items not settled in cash (i.e. assets of liabilities that relate | ||||
to the Disposal Group that are not being sold as part of the Sale) | ||||
Other assets | (13,711 | ) | ||
Accrued salaries wages and other current liabilities | 1,300 | |||
Other noncurrent liabilities | 66,400 | |||
Estimated pre tax gain on Sale | 2,209,200 | |||
Estimated income tax expense | (960,900 | ) | ||
Estimated after tax gain on Sale | $ | 1,248,300 |
(c) | Removal of the operating results of the discontinued operations that are included in the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
(d) | The Company will continue to generate pharmacy services revenue from the Disposal Group after the Sale is completed. As such, the Company has increased revenues and cost of revenues to reflect amounts that were previously eliminated in consolidation relating to intercompany sales between the Company and the Disposal Group. |
(e) | In connection with the Sale, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to provide transitional services to Buyer for up to three (3) years after the initial closing of the Sale. In exchange for the transitional services as defined in the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) , the Company will receive $96,000 per year once the store sales are completed based on providing transition services for all 1,932 stores to be sold. The TSA fee decreases proportionally with any decrease in the number of stores being serviced under the TSA by the Company. |
The Company has included the TSA fees in its unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of Selling, general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company has included the corresponding income tax impact of the TSA fee using the Company's historical income tax rate for each period presented. |
For the thirty-nine week period ended December 2, 2017, the Company included TSA fees of $72,000 which is representative of three quarters of the annual TSA fees. The Company has reflected the receipt of the TSA fees as an adjustment to its unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 4, 2017 and the thirty-nine week period ended December 2, 2017 in accordance with rules stipulated in Article 11 of Regulation S-X. |
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations
In addition to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, we use the non-GAAP measure, “Adjusted EBITDA”, in assessing our operating performance as we believe it serves as an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment, inventory write-downs related to store closings, debt retirements, the Walgreens Boots Alliance merger termination fee, and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, severance and costs related to distribution center closures, gain or loss on sale of assets, and revenue deferrals related to our customer loyalty program). We reference Adjusted EBITDA frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical periods and external comparisons to competitors. In addition, incentive compensation is primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA and we base certain of our forward-looking estimates on Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate quantification of planned business activities and enhance subsequent follow-up with comparisons of actual to planned Adjusted EBITDA.
The following is a reconciliation of our pro forma net income to our pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the thirty-nine week period ended December 2, 2017 and our fifty-three week period ended March 4, 2017:
