5.2 Unauthorized Disclosure of MNPI is Prohibited
You are prohibited from disclosing, without authorization by the Company, Potential MNPI that you learn in the course of your work for the Company or any of its affiliates. You also are prohibited from recommending to any third party that they purchase or sell any Securities based on Potential MNPI, even if you do not reveal the Potential MNPI to them. Those activities may constitute illegal or unauthorized Tipping.
These prohibitions include disclosing information without authorization to colleagues at the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information.
These prohibitions include disclosing information without authorization to persons outside of the Company such as acquaintances, family, friends, business associates, financial advisors or any other third parties. Your acquaintances, family, friends, business associates, financial advisors or any other third parties may violate Insider Trading Laws by trading Securities while they are aware of MNPI.

Civil liability and sanctions;
Criminal sanctions, including fines and imprisonment; and/or
Disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination of employment.

Procedure Name: Insider Trading Procedure

Procedure Type: Enterprise

1. Purpose
This procedure provides guidance under the Insider Trading Policy, which is designed to mitigate the risk that persons who are aware of Material Non-Public Information (MNPI) about any company might violate the law by (i) trading in Securities of that company or (ii) providing MNPI or recommendations based on MNPI to persons who trade based on that information.
2. Scope
This procedure applies to all employees of the Company and its business reporting segments, business units and direct and indirect subsidiaries (“affiliates”), and to non-management directors on the Company’s board of directors. The Insider Trading Policy governs transactions and transfers of ownership for all types of Securities whether related to the Company or another organization. Insider Trading Laws apply to all persons, including non-employees and former employees.
3. Resources to Get Help and Ask Questions
Please email StockPlanAdmin@mckesson.com with any questions about this procedure.
4. Procedure Requirements
4.1 How do I determine if information is Potential MNPI?
Whether information should be considered Material Information is a legal judgment that is based on all the facts and circumstances. Regulators may make those determinations in hindsight, with the benefit of historical developments.
You should be conservative in evaluating Potential MNPI and refrain from trading until that information is Publicly Disclosed or your trade is authorized by the Company’s securities legal counsel.
You should treat as Potential MNPI any information that reasonably could be expected to affect the market price of any Security upwards or downwards, until after that information has been Publicly Disclosed.
The Appendix to this procedure includes examples of types of information that might be Potential MNPI.
If you have questions regarding whether your planned transaction or transfer of ownership relating to Company Securities is permissible under the Insider Trading Policy or this procedure, you should submit a trading authorization request to StockPlanAdmin@mckesson.com and allow one business day for a response.

4.2 Authorization to Trade Securities is not Legal, Tax or Financial Advice
Authorization from a Company representative for you to trade Securities does not constitute personal legal, tax or financial advice to you.
A Trading Window Period or other form of authorization from the Company to trade in Securities does not create a legal safe harbor from an Insider Trading violation.
In all cases, you are personally responsible for determining whether you are aware of MNPI and, if so, to refrain from trading in Securities to which that MNPI relates.
The Company’s attorneys represent the Company and its affiliates, not individuals. The securities laws are complex, and you should consider seeking advice from your personal legal counsel about your decisions to trade in any Securities.
4.3 How do I determine whether information was Publicly Disclosed?
Confirm that the information was disclosed by the related company using a method such as those described in the Fair Disclosure Policy, and allow at least one trading day to pass after that public disclosure.
Information contained in news media reports or social media outlets may not have been disclosed by the related company; it might instead be based on rumor, speculation or unauthorized leaks of MNPI. Always confirm that the related company confirmed the validity of the information disclosed.
4.4 Avoid Certain Higher Risk Securities Transactions
Certain types of Securities transactions involve a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct. You should avoid engaging in any of the types of transactions below related to Company Securities, unless you receive approval from the Company’s securities legal counsel.
Securities Trades Based on Rumors or Speculation
Avoid speculative transactions in Company Securities, such as trades based on market rumors. Speculative transactions might create the appearance that you are trading while aware of MNPI and might be contrary to the interests of the Company’s long-term Securities owners.
Short Sales
You are prohibited from engaging in short sales of Company common stock. For this purpose, a short sale is one involving securities that you do not own at the time of sale, or, if you own them at the time of sale, that are not delivered to the purchaser within 20 days after the sale or deposited in the mail or other usual channels of transportation within 5 days after the sale.
Trades in Options and Other Derivative Securities
You should avoid transactions in derivative Securities related to the Company, such as publicly traded put or call options for the Company’s common stock. The short-term nature of options transactions may divert your focus from the Company’s long-term objectives. This does not apply to options granted by the Company under equity compensation plans.

Hedging Transactions
Avoid hedging or monetization transactions involving Company Securities, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds. These types of transactions could facilitate continued legal ownership of Company Securities, but without your bearing the full risks and rewards of beneficial ownership in alignment with the Company’s long-term Securities owners.
Securities Pledges and Margin Accounts
You should avoid pledging Company Securities as collateral for a loan, including by holding them in a margin account. Securities held in a margin account, or as collateral for a loan, might be sold by the broker or lender without your consent at a time when you are aware of MNPI.
Standing Orders and Limit Orders
You should avoid placing standing orders to purchase or sell Company Securities, such as an order to sell common stock if the market price reaches a set limit. Standing orders might be executed by the broker without your consent at a time when you are aware of MNPI.

Standing orders and limit orders are permitted pursuant to a pre-arranged trading plan that is approved by the Company and that is designed to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 10b5-1. For more information, refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
4.5 Generally Permissible Types of Transactions
Pre-Arranged Trading Plans
Transactions and transfers of ownership, including gifts, are permitted pursuant to a pre-arranged trading plan that is approved by the Company and that is designed to comply with SEC Rule 10b5-1. For more information, refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
Vesting of Stock Awards
You are permitted to elect to have the Company retain a portion of the shares of the Company’s common stock upon the vesting of your restricted stock units (RSUs) or performance stock units (PSUs), to satisfy your income tax withholding obligations.
Any sales or transfers of vested shares to persons other than the Company, however, are subject to the Insider Trading Policy.
Page 3

image_0a.jpg
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
You are permitted to purchase shares of Company common stock resulting from your contributions to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). For more information, refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
Your sales or transfers of Company common stock purchased pursuant to the ESPP, however, are subject to the Insider Trading Policy.
Those who elect to participate in the ESPP, or who want to make changes to their ESPP elections, are advised to do so during Trading Window Periods while not aware of MNPI.
Transactions with the Company
A purchase of Securities from the Company or sale of Securities to the Company is not subject to the Insider Trading Policy.
Exercise of Stock Options
You are permitted to use cash (other than cash generated from a sale of the Company’s Securities) to exercise vested options in the Company’s common stock, and to hold the resulting shares.
You also are permitted to elect to have the Company retain a portion of the shares to satisfy your exercise price and tax withholding obligations upon a stock option exercise (a cashless net exercise and hold).
Any sales or transfers of shares to persons other than the Company, however, are subject to the Insider Trading Policy.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
You are permitted to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (DRP). For more information, refer to the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
Your sales or transfers of Company common stock purchased pursuant to the DRP, however, are subject to the Insider Trading Policy.
Those who elect to participate in the DRP, or who want to make changes to their DRP elections, are advised to do so during Trading Window Periods while not aware of MNPI.
Bona Fide Gifts not Involving a Sale
You generally are permitted to make good faith gifts of the Company’s common stock, unless you know that the recipient intends to sell the Securities while you are aware of MNPI. The SEC considers a bona fide gift to be a gift that is not required or inspired by any legal duty or that is in any sense a payment to settle a debt or other obligation, and is not made with the thought of reward for past services or hope for future consideration.
Investment in Mutual Funds
You are permitted to make purchases and sales of shares of index funds or other mutual funds that hold the Company’s common stock.

4.6 Providing Instruction to Brokers and Financial Advisors
To avoid inadvertent violations of the Insider Trading Policy Framework and Insider Trading Laws, you should instruct your securities brokers or financial advisors to not make discretionary transactions involving Company Securities without your approval, which could include approval under a plan that complies with the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Policy and the Pre-Arranged Trading Plan Procedure.
4.7 Unusual Trading Activity in Securities
Securities enforcement authorities and market regulators monitor trading in stock and other Securities to identify circumstances in which the securities market might have been affected by information that was not Publicly Disclosed by the relevant company. They also routinely review trading that occurred prior to announcement of significant events and ask the Company whether it can identify any of the individuals who traded during that time.
The Company will cooperate with securities enforcement authorities and market regulators seeking information about potential violations of Insider Trading Laws.
5. Penalties for Noncompliance
Your failure to comply with the Insider Trading Policy Framework and Insider Trading Laws could result in:
Civil liability and sanctions;
Criminal sanctions, including fines and imprisonment; and/or
Disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination of employment.
6. Exceptions
There are no exceptions to this procedure, such as for small transactions, routine transactions or transactions that may seem necessary or justifiable for reasons independent of your awareness of MNPI (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure).
