Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 8”) is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) and relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 31, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on January 20, 2015, by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on December 31, 2015, by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on November 4, 2016, by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on January 17, 2018, by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on July 17, 2018, by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on November 5, 2019, and by Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on December 17, 2019 (as so amended, the “Existing Schedule 13D”).  

 

Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 8 but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended hereby, items in the Existing Schedule 13D remain unmodified.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Existing Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

 

The information set forth under Items 3 and 6 is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

The Reporting Persons currently intend to hold the shares of Common Stock, held of record by ASP and Pessina, for the long-term. However, the Reporting Persons will review on an ongoing and continuing basis their investment in the Issuer. Depending upon the factors discussed below, the Reporting Persons (subject to applicable law, the contractual restrictions described herein and compliance with the Issuer’s securities trading policies and procedures binding on Pessina) may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer or may sell shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer.  Further, subject to applicable law, the contractual restrictions described herein and compliance with the Issuer’s securities trading policies and procedures binding on Pessina, the Reporting Persons may enter into derivative transactions or alternative structures with respect to the shares of Common Stock or the economic or voting rights attached thereto.  Subject to applicable law, the contractual restrictions described herein and compliance with the Issuer’s securities trading policies and procedures binding on Pessina, any open market or privately negotiated purchases, sales, distributions or other transactions may be made at any time without additional prior notice. Any alternative that the Reporting Persons may pursue will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.

 

Page 5 of 13

 

In his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, Pessina takes an active role in working with the other senior members of the Issuer’s management on operational, financial and strategic initiatives. Accordingly, in the course of his duties, Pessina may consider matters related to items (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D and, subject to applicable law, fiduciary duties and contractual restrictions, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.  As a director, Pessina may also be asked to vote on or further discuss such matters.

 

On July 27, 2020, the Issuer announced that:

 

·Pessina has informed the Issuer of his decision to step down from the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and, as a result, the Issuer will commence a search for a successor to Pessina as Chief Executive Officer, with Pessina continuing to serve as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until a new Chief Executive Officer takes office;

 

·James A. Skinner, the Issuer’s Executive Chairman of the Board, also has informed the Issuer of his decision to step down from that role when a new Chief Executive Officer takes office, while remaining on the Board to provide continuity to the Board during the management transition; and

 

·when the new Chief Executive Officer takes office, the Board will appoint Pessina on an annual basis (subject to applicable law, including fiduciary duties), as Executive Chairman, provided that Pessina is a member of the Board of the Company at the time (and upon his initial appointment as Executive Chairman, Pessina would resign as Executive Vice Chairman).

 

The Issuer and Pessina have entered into a letter agreement with respect to certain of these matters and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the letter agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit N.

 

Except as set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed in Annex A hereto, has any current intention, plan or proposal that relate to or would result in any of the transactions involving the Issuer described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Persons or persons listed in Annex A hereto may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing any or all of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Existing Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The ownership percentages set forth below are based on 866,534,089 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding as of June 30, 2020, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2020.

 

(a)The Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 146,113,290 shares of Common Stock, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately, 16.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of these: (i) 144,788,821 shares of Common Stock are held directly and of record by ASP; (ii) 182,707 shares of Common Stock are held directly and of record by Pessina; and (iii) 1,141,762 shares of Common Stock are subject to employee stock options granted to Pessina that are exercisable as of, or within 60 days after, the date of this Amendment No. 8.  All such stock options are “out-of-the-money” having exercise prices in excess of US$ 40.51, being the closing price on July 24, 2020, the trading day immediately preceding the date of this Amendment No. 8. The number does not include 78,700 shares of Common Stock underlying restricted stock units awarded to Pessina (being 76,570 shares underlying restricted stock units awarded to Pessina on November 1, 2019 and 2,130 shares underlying restricted stock units issued in lieu of dividends on outstanding restricted stock units). The shares of Common Stock underlying these restricted stock units vest with respect to 25,498 shares (plus any shares underlying restricted stock units issued in lieu of dividends on such shares) on November 1, 2020, with respect to 25,498 shares (plus any shares underlying restricted stock units issued in lieu of dividends on such shares) on November 1, 2021, and with respect to 25,574 shares (plus any shares underlying restricted stock units issued in lieu of dividends on such shares) on November 1, 2022, subject to acceleration or forfeiture in certain circumstances in accordance with the terms and conditions of their award.

The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the persons listed in Annex A is set forth therein and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b)ASP has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the 144,788,821 shares of Common Stock held directly and of record by ASP, which shares represent approximately 16.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. NewCIP II is the sole shareholder of ASP and Pessina holds 100% voting control over NewCIP II; accordingly each of NewCIP II and Pessina may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 144,788,821 shares of Common Stock held directly and of record by ASP. In addition, Pessina has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the 182,707 shares of Common Stock that he holds directly and of record, which shares represent approximately 0.02% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Finally, on their exercise, Pessina would have the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the 1,141,762 shares of Common Stock that are subject to the employee stock options he holds that are exercisable as of, or within 60 days after, the date of this Amendment No. 8, which shares represent approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The information with respect to the voting and dispositive power of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the persons listed in Annex A is set forth therein and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(c)Other than as described elsewhere in this Schedule 13D (including the information in Item 3 which is incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the persons listed in Annex A hereto have effected no transactions in shares of Common Stock during the last sixty (60) days.

 

(d)Other than the Reporting Persons and the persons listed in Annex A hereto, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the Reporting Persons’ securities or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the securities of the persons listed in Annex A hereto, respectively.

 

(e)Not applicable.
