Civil liability and sanctions;
Recoupment of trading gains or avoided losses; and/or
Disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination of employment.
7. Exceptions

Procedure Name: Section 16 Insider Procedure

Procedure Type: Enterprise1

1. Purpose
This procedure supplements the Section 16 Insider Policy.
2. Scope
This procedure applies to non-management directors on the Company’s board of directors and to employees of the Company or its affiliates who are notified that they have been designated as “officers” who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities Exchange Act).
3. Resources to Get Help and Ask Questions
Please email StockPlanAdmin@mckesson.com with any questions about this procedure.
4. Procedure Requirements
4.1 Trading Pre-Clearance and Window Periods
To assist you in complying with this procedure and the securities laws, your transactions and changes in ownership1 involving Company Securities, including bona fide gifts, must be approved in advance by the Company’s securities legal counsel.
Your transactions and changes in ownership involving Company Securities must also occur during Trading Window Periods as described in the Designated Insider Procedure.
Section 16 Insiders are subject to the Company’s Stock Ownership Policy and any trading requests should ensure that you remain in compliance with that policy.
4.2 Pre-Arranged Trading Plans
The preceding section does not apply to transactions and changes in ownership pursuant to a pre-arranged trading plan that is approved by the Company and that is designed to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 10b5-1. Additional requirements apply to the adoption and use of pre-arranged trading plans by Section 16 Insiders, and there are additional disclosure obligations. Please refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure for more information.
4.3 Authorization to Trade Securities is not Legal, Tax or Financial Advice
1 For purposes of the reporting and other requirements under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act and under this procedure, a Section 16 Insider may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Company Securities held by certain of the Section 16 Insider’s family members or any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or trust that the Section 16 Insider influences or controls. Questions regarding “beneficial ownership” of Company Securities under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act and under this procedure should be directed to the Company’s securities legal counsel.

You may submit transaction and change in ownership authorization requests to StockPlanAdmin@mckesson.com and allow one business day for a response.
Authorization from a Company representative for you to trade Securities does not constitute personal legal, tax or financial advice to you.
The Company’s attorneys represent the Company and its subsidiaries, not individuals. The securities laws are complex, and you should consider seeking advice from your personal legal counsel about your decisions to trade in Securities.
To avoid inadvertent violations of the Insider Trading Policy Framework and Insider Trading Laws, you should instruct your securities brokers or financial advisors to not make discretionary transactions involving Company Securities without your approval, which could include approval under a plan that complies with the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
4.4 SEC Reporting Obligations
Section 16 Insiders are personally responsible for reporting changes in ownership in Company Securities to the SEC in a timely way, as summarized below.
Forms 3,4 and 5

Form 144
Section 16 Insiders who are control persons subject to SEC Rule 144 are personally responsible for simultaneous public disclosure of market sales of the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s securities legal counsel will notify you whether you are considered a control person for this purpose.
Fidelity or your stockbroker or financial advisor will assist you with your Form 144 filings with the SEC subject to your providing them with a power of attorney authorizing them to make those filings on your behalf.
4.5 Prohibited Transactions
Certain types of Securities transactions involve a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct. You must refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any of the types of transactions described below related to Company Securities. These constraints are stricter than those described in the Insider Trading Policy and the Insider Trading Procedure.
Trades in Options and Other Derivative SecuritiesYou are prohibited from engaging in transactions in derivative Securities related to the Company, such as publicly traded put or call options for the Company’s common stock. This prohibition does not apply to exercises of stock options granted by the Company.
Hedging TransactionYou are prohibited from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions involving Company Securities, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds.
Securities Pledges and Margin AccountsYou are prohibited from pledging Company Securities as collateral for a loan, including by holding them in a margin account.
Short Sales
You are prohibited from engaging in short sales of Company common stock.
Section 16(c) of the Securities Exchange Act effectively prohibits Section 16 Insiders from engaging in short sales.
For this purpose, a short sale is one involving securities that you do not own at the time of sale, or, if you own them at the time of sale, that are not delivered to the purchaser within 20 days after the sale or deposited in the mail or other usual channels of transportation within 5 days after the sale.

Short-Swing Trades
You are prohibited from engaging in short swing transactions involving a purchase or sale of Company common stock in the open market and an opposite-direction open market transaction within the preceding or following six months.
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act requires you to disgorge to the Company any gain or avoided loss resulting from prohibited short-swing transactions, and the Company is not permitted to release its claim or provide you an indemnity.
This is a strict-liability requirement that does not depend on your intent, good faith or lack of MNPI at the time of the transactions.
This prohibition generally does not apply to shares acquired pursuant to any of the Company’s stock equity plans.
Standing Orders and Limit Orders
Unless you receive approval from the Company’s securities counsel, you should not place standing orders to purchase or sell Company Securities, such as an order to sell common stock if the market price reaches a set limit.
Standing orders and limit orders are permitted pursuant to a pre-arranged trading plan that is approved by the Company and that is designed to comply with SEC Rule 10b5-1. For more information, refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
5. Penalties for Noncompliance
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act imposes compliance requirements on you personally and your failure to comply with the Insider Trading Policy Framework, Insider Trading Laws, and other securities laws could result in:

Civil liability and sanctions; and/or
Recoupment of trading gains or avoided losses; and/or
Disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination of employment.
6. Exceptions
There are no exceptions to this procedure, such as for small transactions, routine transactions or transactions that may seem necessary or justifiable for reasons independent of your awareness of MNPI (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure).
