The KKR Investors (as defined below) hold of record 50% of the voting power of Gibco. As used in this Statement, the “KKR Investors” means KKR Sprint (European II) Limited, KKR Sprint (2006) Limited and KKR Sprint (KPE) Limited, each of which is a Cayman Islands exempted limited company.
6
Attached as Annex A hereto and incorporated herein by reference is a list containing the (a) name, (b) residence or business address, (c) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, and (d) citizenship, in each case of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons, as applicable.
(b) The principal business address of Gibco is at 57/63 Line Wall Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA. The principal business address of ASP and NEWCIP is at 14, avenue du X Septembre, L-2550 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The business address of Pessina is at 24 Boulevard du Ténao, Monte Carlo, 98000 Monaco.
(c) Gibco is principally engaged in the business of investing in and holding the securities of subsidiary undertakings, including (prior to the Second Step Acquisition on December 31, 2014) Alliance Boots GmbH, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland, having its registered office at Untermattweg 8, 3027 Bern, Switzerland and registered with the Registry of Companies and Commerce of the Canton of Zug under No. CH-170.4.007-953-1 (“Alliance Boots”).

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Existing Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 20 business days) after the closing of the Second Step Acquisition, Gibco was required to deliver to its direct and indirect investors a written plan of delivery with respect to the Second Step Purchase Proceeds, including any election mechanism (the “Plan of Delivery”). On January 4, 2015, Gibco delivered the Plan of Delivery to its direct and indirect investors. Pursuant to the Plan of Delivery, direct and indirect investors in Gibco (other than affiliates of KKR) were permitted to make an election (an “Additional Cash Election”) whereby they could choose to receive a greater amount of cash in lieu of some or all of their pro rata allocable share of the Common Stock received by Gibco at the closing of the Second Step Acquisition. To the extent such investors made an Additional Cash Election, subject to a limit of $1 billion, ASP undertook to increase proportionately its allocable share of the Common Stock received by Gibco. As of January 20, 2015, on completion of the return of their allocable share of the Second Step Cash Consideration to the direct and indirect investors in Gibco, after giving effect to the Additional Cash Elections made,
7
ASP (and indirectly the other Pessina Reporting Persons) had a pecuniary interest in 63,162,110 of the 139,689,339 shares of Common Stock held directly and of record by Gibco.
On November 20, 2015, for aggregate consideration of $192,076,896.19, ASP acquired from various direct and indirect co-investors in Gibco additional direct and indirect interests in the class of Gibco shares with an economic interest in the 139,689,339 WBA shares held by Gibco. As a result of these acquisitions, and the simultaneous receipt of additional indirect interests relating to certain previously existing rights, ASP (and indirectly the other Pessina Reporting Persons) acquired a pecuniary interest in an additional 2,333,988 of the 139,689,339 shares of Common Stock held directly and of record by Gibco.
On December 31, 2015, Gibco distributed the 139,689,339 shares of Common Stock issued to Gibco in the Second Step Acquisition. In connection with such distribution, ASP received 66,695,655 shares of Common Stock in respect of its direct or indirect interests in the 139,689,339 shares of Common Stock issued to Gibco in the Second Step Acquisition.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Existing Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The information set forth under Items 3 and 6 is hereby incorporated by reference.
The Pessina Reporting Persons currently intend to hold the shares of Common Stock, held of record by ASP, for the long term. However, the Pessina Reporting Persons will review on an ongoing and continuing basis their investment in the Issuer. Depending upon the factors discussed below, the Pessina Reporting Persons (subject to applicable law and the contractual restrictions described herein) may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer or may sell shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer. Further, subject to applicable law and compliance with the Issuer’s securities trading policies and procedures binding on Pessina, the Pessina Reporting Persons may enter into derivative transactions or alternative structures with respect to the shares of Common Stock or the economic or voting rights attached thereto. Subject to applicable law and the contractual restrictions described herein, any open market or privately negotiated purchases, sales, distributions or other transactions may be made at any time without additional prior notice. Any alternative that the Pessina Reporting Persons may pursue will depend upon a variety of factors, including without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Pessina Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.
In his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, Pessina takes an active role in working with the Issuer’s management on operational, financial and strategic initiatives. As part of the ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, Pessina may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, fiduciary duties and contractual restrictions, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.
8
Except as set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed in Annex A hereto, has any specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions involving the Issuer described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Persons or persons listed in Annex A hereto may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing any or all of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
