To Operate as Private Standalone Company Following <\/b><b>Acquisition By Sycamore Partners<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\"><i>Appoints Mike Motz as Chief Executive Officer<\/i><\/p>\n<p>DEERFIELD, Ill.&#8211;(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\">BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)&#8211;<br \/>\nWalgreen Co. (\u201cWalgreens\u201d, or the \u201cCompany\u201d), America\u2019s leading independent retail pharmacy, announced today that it is now operating as a private standalone company following its acquisition by Sycamore Partners (\u201cSycamore\u201d), a leading private equity firm based in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\nSycamore is acquiring the business in partnership with Stefano Pessina and his family, who have reinvested 100% of their interests in Walgreens, demonstrating their ongoing support and confidence in the Company\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\nMike Motz has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Walgreens effective immediately. Motz was formerly CEO of Staples US Retail, a Sycamore portfolio company. Prior to that, he served as President of Shoppers Drug Mart, the No. 1 pharmacy chain in Canada. A seasoned leader with deep experience, Motz brings a renewed focus on retail, a customer-first mindset and significant operational discipline to guide Walgreens into its next chapter as a private company. Motz replaces Tim Wentworth, who will continue to serve as an ongoing Director. John Lederer, a former director of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (\u201cWBA\u201d) and a Senior Advisor to Sycamore, has been appointed Executive Chairman of Walgreens.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis announcement coincides with Sycamore\u2019s acquisition of WBA, which closed today.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday represents an exciting new chapter and a turning point for Walgreens,\u201d said Motz. \u201cAs a private organization, alongside our dedicated team members, we are renewing our focus on our core pharmacy and retail platform, our stores and our customer experience\u2014building on the progress that\u2019s been made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nStefan Kaluzny, Managing Director of Sycamore, said, \u201cWe are pleased to have closed this momentous transaction with an outstanding brand that has been a cornerstone of American communities for nearly 125 years. Walgreens benefits millions of Americans, and I am confident that, enhanced by the flexibility of operating as a private standalone organization, it can move with certainty, speed and focus to deliver meaningful value to its customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nStefano Pessina said, \u201cWalgreens is an incredible brand, with loyal customers around the country. I believe strongly in the business and its significant impact on the communities it serves. My family and I are pleased to support its continued evolution as we embark on this next chapter. I want to thank the leadership team for stabilizing the business and providing a strong foundation upon which we will build to reach new heights. Walgreens has a very bright future in partnership with Sycamore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About Walgreens<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nFounded in 1901, Walgreens (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walgreens.com&amp;esheet=54314295&amp;newsitemid=20250827136504&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.walgreens.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=b683f277c6f99abb349d5f88f9c75899\">www.walgreens.com<\/a>) proudly serves nearly 9 million customers and patients each day across its approximately 8,500 stores throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
