Business Wire
McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) announced today that it has
signed an agreement to sell its Canada-based Rexall and Well.ca
businesses to Birch Hill Equity Partners, a Canadian private equity
firm.
In line with McKesson Corporation’s enterprise strategy, this
transaction enables McKesson to further focus and prioritize
investments to grow its oncology and biopharma services platforms.
McKesson Corporation remains fully committed to and confident in
the strength of our Canadian distribution and biopharma businesses,
delivering solutions to ensure the delivery of better health
outcomes.
“This transaction marks an important milestone aligned to our
enterprise strategy, advancing our strategic priorities, further
streamlining our business and prioritizing investment in our growth
areas of oncology and biopharma services,” said Brian Tyler, Chief
Executive Officer, McKesson. “We remain fully committed to and
confident in the strength of our Canadian distribution and
biopharma businesses. I am proud of the accomplishments that Rexall
and Well.ca have achieved with McKesson and I have every confidence
that both businesses will flourish under Birch Hill’s
ownership.”
Birch Hill Equity Partners is a mid-market Canadian private
equity firm with more than 30 years of experience supporting
Canadian companies on driving growth initiatives. Through this
transaction, we believe Rexall and Well.ca will have a partner
committed to investing the resources and capital needed to build on
the businesses’ strong foundation, while providing services to
Canadians from more locations, to address critical healthcare
needs. McKesson Canada continues to see value in Rexall and Well.ca
and intends to remain a wholesale distribution supplier to each
business.
McKesson Canada will continue to own and operate Rexall and
Well.ca until transaction close, which is subject to customary
closing conditions, including necessary regulatory clearances.
