Item 8.01.                                        Other Events.

 

On May 13, 2013, AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Company”) issued a news release in which it announced that it had completed the divestiture of its contract packaging business, AndersonBrecon Inc. and AndersonBrecon (UK) Limited (collectively, “AndersonBrecon”),to an entity formed by affiliates of an investor group led by Frazier Healthcare VI, L.P.  The purchase price for the transaction was $308 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for, among other things, the working capital of the business.  The investor group includes affiliates of Greenspring Associates, QIC Global Private Equity, and Thomas McNerney & Partners.

 

The results of operations of AndersonBrecon are reported within discontinued operations.  Therefore, the completion of the divestiture has no impact on AmerisourceBergen’s financial performance expectations for fiscal 2013, which were updated in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 25, 2013.  Any gain on the sale of AndersonBrecon will be recorded within discontinued operations, and is excluded from our fiscal 2013 financial expectations.

 

The news release issued on May 13, 2013 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01.                                        Financial Statements and Exhibits.
