Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Effective September 30, 2006, Owens & Minor, Inc. (the Company) and Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (O&M Distribution), completed the acquisition of certain assets, including inventory and fixed assets, and the assumption of certain liabilities and contracts related to the acute-care medical and surgical supply distribution business (the Transaction) of McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. (the Seller), a wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation (McKesson), for approximately $165 million in cash (the Purchase Price). The Transaction was completed in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2006 (the Purchase Agreement), among the Company, O&M Distribution, McKesson and the Seller.
The Purchase Agreement provides for an initial closing, which occurred on September 30, 2006, and several delayed closings to facilitate the transition of the acquired business and related facilities to O&M Distribution. At each of the delayed closings, the Purchase Price will be increased or decreased based on the Sellers actual inventory on hand at the time of each closing. Generally, in the event that the Sellers inventory at the time of the applicable closing exceeds the inventory used to calculate the Purchase Price, O&M Distribution will pay to the Seller an amount equal to such excess; in the event that the Sellers inventory at the time of such closing is less than the inventory used to calculate the Purchase Price, the Seller will pay to O&M Distribution an amount equal to such deficiency.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement is included as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
