Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On April 25, 2018, McKesson Corporation (the “Company”) announced a multi-year strategic growth initiative, focused on creating innovative solutions that improve patient care delivery and drive incremental profit growth. As an initial phase of this initiative, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to optimize its operating model and cost structure. The plan will encompass key functional areas such as information technology, finance and human resources and is expected to be substantially implemented prior to the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

As a result, the Company expects to record after-tax charges of approximately $150 million to $210 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. The charges will primarily consist of employee severance, exit-related costs and other charges. The range is an estimate and actual charges may be higher or lower than the estimate.
