On October 24, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of PSS World Medical, Inc. (“PSS World Medical”) of Jacksonville, Florida for $29.00 per share in cash. The total transaction, including the assumption of PSS World Medical’s outstanding debt, is valued at approximately $2.1 billion. PSS World Medical markets and distributes medical products and services throughout the United States. On December 21, 2012, we received notification of early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, in connection with this proposed acquisition.  The acquisition is subject to approval by PSS World Medical shareholders; the shareholder vote has been scheduled for February 19, 2013. After the closing, the operations of PSS World Medical will be included in the results of our Medical-Surgical business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment.

On April 6, 2012, we purchased the remaining 50% ownership interest in our corporate headquarters building located in San Francisco, California, for $90 million, which was funded from cash on hand.  We previously held a 50% ownership interest and were the primary tenant in this building.  This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 50% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between the fair value and carrying value as a gain in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $81 million ($51 million after-tax), which was recorded as a gain on business combination within Corporate in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2013.

The total fair value of the net assets acquired was $180 million, which was allocated as follows: building and improvements of $113 million and land of $58 million with the remainder allocated for settlement of our pre-existing lease and lease intangible assets. The fair value of the building and improvements was determined based on current market replacement costs less depreciation and unamortized tenant improvement costs, as well as, other relevant market information, and has a weighted average useful life of 30 years. The fair value of the land was determined using comparable sales of land within the surrounding market.

On March 25, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Drug Trading Company Limited, the independent banner business of the Katz Group Canada Inc. (“Katz Group”), and Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc., the franchise business of the Katz Group (collectively, “Katz Assets”) for $925 million, which was funded from cash on hand. The acquisition of the assets from the Drug Trading Company Limited consists of a marketing and purchasing arm of independently owned pharmacies in Canada. The acquisition of Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc. consists of the franchise business of providing services to independent pharmacies in Canada.

During the second quarter of 2013, the fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Katz Assets as of the acquisition date were completed. The following table summarizes the final amounts of the fair values recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, as well as measurement period adjustments made in the first six months of 2013 to the amounts initially recorded in 2012. The measurement period adjustments during the first six months of 2013 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or cash flows in any period, and, therefore, we have not retrospectively adjusted our financial statements.

(In millions)	Amounts Previously Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional) (1)			Measurement Period Adjustments			Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Final as Adjusted)

⁽¹⁾  As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Included in the purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $442 million, the fair values of which were determined by using Level 3 inputs, which are estimated using significant unobservable inputs. Acquired intangibles primarily consist of $318 million of service agreements and $114 million of trademarks and trade names. Service agreements, trademarks and trade names and total acquired intangibles assets each have an estimated weighted average life of 20 years. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets of $512 million was recorded as goodwill, which primarily reflects the expected future benefits to be realized upon integrating the business. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $290 million.

Financial results for the acquired Katz Assets are included in the results of operations within our Canadian pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment, beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

During the last two years, we also completed a number of smaller acquisitions within both of our operating segments. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. However, if we acquire the assets of a company, the goodwill may be deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma results of operations for our business acquisitions and the results of operations for these acquisitions since the acquisition date have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.
