Remarks
On December 31, 2014, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation, became the successor of Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation, pursuant to a merger to effect a reorganization of Walgreen Co. into a holding company structure. The merger resulted in Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. becoming the parent holding company of Walgreen Co. and changed the company's domicile, but did not alter the proportionate interests of security holders.
