On October 4, 2007, McKesson Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase Oncology Therapeutics Network (“OTN”), a U.S. distributor of specialty pharmaceuticals. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including any necessary regulatory review.

In addition, in the Press Release, the Company reaffirmed its previous outlook that the Company expects to earn between $3.15 and $3.30 per diluted share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, excluding restructuring charges and adjustments to the Securities Litigation reserve. The outlook includes the expected impact of the purchase of OTN.
