Under the terms of the merger agreement, Oak Street Health stockholders received $39.00 per share in cash. The Company financed the transaction with borrowings of $5.0 billion from a term loan agreement entered into on May 1, 2023 as described in Note 10 ‘‘Borrowings and Credit Agreements’’ and cash on hand. Oak Street Health is a leading multi-payor, senior focused value-based primary care company. Oak Street Health is included within the Health Services segment. The Company acquired Oak Street Health to advance its value-based care strategy and broaden its platform into primary care.

_____________________________________________
(1)The fair value of the replacement equity awards issued by the Company was determined as of the Oak Street Health Acquisition Date. The fair value of the awards attributed to pre-combination services of $118 million is included in the consideration transferred and the fair value of the awards attributed to post-combination services of $165 million has been, or will be, included in the Company’s post-combination financial statements as compensation costs.
(2)The purchase price included $29 million of effectively settled liabilities the Company owed to Oak Street Health from their pre-existing relationship.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. The most significant open items included the accounting for contingencies and the accounting for income taxes as management is awaiting additional information to complete its assessment of these matters.

The finalization of the Company’s purchase accounting assessment could result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could be material.

Assets Held For Sale

The Company continually evaluates its portfolio for non-strategic assets. The Company determined that its Omnicare® long-term care business (“LTC business”), which is included within the Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segment, was no longer a strategic asset and during the third quarter of 2022 committed to a plan to sell the LTC business. At that time, the LTC business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

During 2022, the carrying value of the LTC business was determined to be greater than its estimated fair value less costs to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded total losses on assets held for sale of $2.5 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, an incremental loss on assets held for sale of $349 million was recorded to write-down the carrying value of the LTC business to the Company’s best estimate of the ultimate selling price which reflects its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The loss on assets held for sale represents the write-down of long-lived assets and was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations within the Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segment.

While the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for the LTC business, during the third quarter of 2023, the Company determined it was no longer probable that a sale would be completed in the near term. At that time, the Company concluded that the LTC business no longer met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities associated with this business were reclassified to held and used at their respective fair values on the consolidated balance sheet.

Divestiture of bswift

In November 2022, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary bswift LLC (“bswift”) for approximately $735 million. bswift offers software and services that streamline benefits and human resource administration. The results of this business have historically been recorded within the Health Care Benefits segment. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the divestiture of $250 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, which is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations within the Health Care Benefits segment.

Divestiture of PayFlex

In June 2022, the Company sold PayFlex for approximately $775 million. PayFlex provides services to employers, their employees, and their former employees in the areas of tax-advantaged account reimbursement administration (flexible spending, health reimbursement, health savings, transit and parking), Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act administration and special-member billing administration. The results of this business have historically been reported within the
Health Care Benefits segment. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the divestiture of $225 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, which is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations within the Health Care Benefits segment.

Divestiture of Thailand Health Care Business

In March 2022, the Company reached an agreement to sell its international health care business domiciled in Thailand (“Thailand business”), comprised of approximately 266,000 medical members, which was included in the Commercial Business reporting unit within the Health Care Benefits segment. At that time, a portion of the Commercial Business goodwill was specifically allocated to the Thailand business. The net assets of the Thailand business were accounted for as assets held for sale at March 31, 2022. The carrying value of the Thailand business was determined to be greater than its estimated fair value less costs to sell and, accordingly, the Company recorded a $41 million loss on assets held for sale within the Health Care Benefits segment during the first quarter of 2022. The sale of the Thailand business closed in the second quarter of 2022, and the consideration received and ultimate loss on the sale were not material.

International Health Care Benefits Renewal Rights Asset Sale

In May 2022, the Company sold the renewal rights of approximately 200,000 international medical members outside of the Americas, Thailand and India in connection with an Asset Purchase Agreement. As part of this agreement, the Company will introduce and help migrate these existing international medical members to the purchaser upon renewal. The migration process was completed during 2023. The Company ceased writing any new or renewal business for international medical members outside of the Americas during the fourth quarter of 2022. The consideration received related to this agreement was not material.
