Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 2, 2021, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of McKesson Corporation (“Company”) elected Dr. Richard H. Carmona as a director of the Corporation effective on September 6, 2021.
Dr. Carmona has served as chief of health innovations of Canyon Ranch Inc. since 2017. Prior to joining Canyon Ranch Inc. in 2006, he also served as vice chairman, chief executive officer of the Canyon Ranch health division and president of the nonprofit Canyon Ranch Institute. From 2002 through 2006, Dr. Carmona served as the 17th surgeon general of the United States, achieving the rank of vice admiral. Prior to serving as the surgeon general, he was chairman of the state of Arizona Southern Regional Emergency Medical System, a professor of surgery, public health, and family and community medicine at the University of Arizona, and surgeon and deputy sheriff of the Pima County, Arizona Sheriff’s Department. He also served in the United States Army and the Army’s Special Forces and is a combat-decorated veteran. Dr. Carmona currently serves on the board of directors of Axon Enterprise, Inc., The Clorox Company and Herbalife Nutrition Ltd.
The Board determined that Dr. Carmona is an independent director under standards established by the New York Stock Exchange and the Board. The Board appointed him as a member of the Compensation Committee and the Compliance Committee. The Board size increased from nine to ten members upon his election.
Dr. Carmona will receive compensation in accordance with the Company’s standard compensatory arrangement for non-employee directors. He will receive an annual cash retainer of $80,000, which will be prorated based on his election date. He also will receive restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2013 Stock Plan in an amount that represents the annual equity award value granted to non-management directors after the Company's 2020 annual meeting of shareholders prorated to September 6, 2021. The number of RSUs granted to Dr. Carmona will be determined by dividing $155,835.62 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of September 9, 2021.
Dr. Carmona will, effective as of September 6, 2021, enter into the Company’s standard Indemnification Agreement for directors, which provides for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
