About the Lawsuit

On June 29, 2017, the market was stunned by the announcement that the merger between Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. and Rite Aid Corp. had been terminated along with a collaborative Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company to buy 865 Rite Aid stores for $950 million previously reached in order to help obtain FTC approval and complete the Merger.
