Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On April 22, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of McKesson Corporation
(the "Company") approved amendments to Sections 9 and 10 of ARTICLE II of the
Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective immediately, for purposes of
making the following clarifications and enhancements to the Company's advance
notice by-law provisions contained in such sections: (i) to make clear and
unambiguous that compliance with the procedures specified in the advance notice
by-law provisions is the exclusive means for a stockholder to nominate any
person for election to the Board or to bring other business before a meeting of
stockholders (other than proposals governed by Rule 14a-8 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); (ii) without limiting the generality of
(i) above, to make clear and unambiguous that notwithstanding a notice of annual
meeting, which includes notice regarding the election of directors, given by or
at the direction of the Board, a stockholder who desires to nominate a person
for election to the Board must comply with the advance notice by-law provisions
specifically relating to nominations by stockholders; (iii) to expand the
information required to be given by any stockholder making a nomination or
proposal, by any beneficial owner on whose behalf a nomination or proposal is
made, and by any proposed nominee, including information relating to any hedging
or other transaction made by or on behalf of any such person with respect to the
Company's stock and any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or
understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests,
options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights or borrowing or lending
shares of stock) made by or on behalf of any such person, the effect or intent
of any of the foregoing being to manage the risk or benefit of share price
changes in the Company's stock or to increase or decrease the voting power or
pecuniary or economic interest of any such person with respect to the Company's
stock; and (iv) to make other technical clarifications and enhancements to the
advance notice by-law provisions.
The foregoing description of the Company's by-law amendments does not purport to
