Pending Rite Aid Merger and Related Financing

On February 18, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Rite Aid Corporation ("Rite Aid"), one of the nation's leading drugstore chains. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Rite Aid common stock issued and outstanding at such time will be converted into the right to receive 0.1000 of a share of the Company's common stock, plus at the Rite Aid stockholder's election, either (i) an amount in cash equal to $0.1832 per share of Rite Aid common stock, without interest, or (ii) 0.0079 of a share of the Company's common stock per share of Rite Aid common stock. The merger is subject to the approval of Rite Aid's stockholders of record as of June 22, 2018 at the special stockholders meeting which is scheduled to be held on August 9, 2018, and other customary closing conditions. If the merger is approved by the Rite Aid stockholders, it is expected to close early in the second half of calendar 2018.
