Except as described below for Former Service Providers, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted share award granted under any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSA”), whether or not then vested, will be assumed by Parent and will be converted into a restricted share award (each, a “Parent RSA”) on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Merger Agreement), relating to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA multiplied by (ii)the Base Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, plus, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock or an amount in cash equal to the product of (X)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (Y)the Additional Stock Consideration or the Additional Cash Consideration, as elected by the holder of such Company RSA.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with respect to each Company RSA and Company RSU held by a Former Service Provider, (i)the vesting will be fully accelerated at the Effective Time (and all restrictions thereupon will lapse), and (ii)subject to deduction and withholding rights, in respect of such outstanding Company RSA or Company RSU, such Former Service Provider will be entitled to receive that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA or Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of any applicable performance metrics at the target level of achievement) multiplied by (B)the Base Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, plus, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock or an amount in cash equal to the product of (X)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA or Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of any applicable performance metrics at the target level of achievement) multiplied

by (Y)the Additional Stock Consideration or the Additional Cash Consideration, as elected by the holder of such Company RSA and Company RSU, except, with respect to any Company RSU that by its terms provides for settlement in cash, the Former Service Provider will be entitled to receive the cash value of the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of any applicable performance metrics at the target level of achievement) multiplied by (B)the Base Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, plus, an amount in cash equal to the product of (X)the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of any applicable performance metrics at the target level of achievement) multiplied by (Y)the Additional Cash Consideration (for the avoidance of doubt, the holder will not have the right to elect Additional Stock Consideration).

The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay to Parent up to $10 million for expenses incurred by Parent (with such payment credited to any termination fee subsequently paid by the Company). In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances involving a failure to obtain antitrust approval, Parent is required to pay the Company a $65 million termination fee.

From and after the Effective Time and until such time as Cerberus ceases to own at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock, the Merger Agreement grants Cerberus the right to appoint two (2)directors to the Parent Board of Directors. From and after such time as Cerberus ceases to own at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock, but owns at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Parent Common Stock, the Merger Agreement grants Cerberus the right to appoint one (1)director to the Parent Board of Directors.

Standstill Agreement

On February18, 2018, the Company entered into a standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with Parent and Cerberus, to which Cerberus has agreed not to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock or other securities issued by Parent, except Cerberus may acquire beneficial ownership of Parent Common Stock provided that such beneficial ownership does not result in ownership of 30% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock in the aggregate following such transaction, during the standstill period. The standstill period commences at the Effective Time and terminates upon the earliest to occur of (i)thirty days following the date that Cerberus does not have any of its designees on the Parent Board of Directors, (b)the date on which Cerberus no longer has the right to appoint (and has not appointed) at least one director to the Parent Board of Directors and (c)the date on which Parent materially breaches or takes any action challenging the validity or enforceability of the provisions of the Merger Agreement that grant Cerberus certain rights to appoint directors to the Parent Board of Directors.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company is also providing adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and net income guidance for its 2019 fiscal year. Based on current trends, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $615 million to $675 million, adjusted net income to be in the range of $18 million to $61 million, adjusted net income per diluted share

to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.06 per diluted share and net income (loss) to be in the range of ($95 million) to ($40 million). This information does not reflect any financial impact from the Merger.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment, inventory write-downs related to store closings, debt retirements, and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, severance and costs related to distribution center closures, gain or loss on sale of assets and revenue deferrals related to the Company’s customer loyalty program). The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing its performance in addition to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is as follows:

The Company believes adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare the Company’s operating performance with its competitors.

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of amortization of EnvisionRx intangible assets, merger and acquisition-related costs, loss on debt retirements and LIFO adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted net income per diluted share using the Company’s above-referenced definition of adjusted net income. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to net loss is as follows:

The Company believes adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of its business and help its investors better compare the Company’s operating performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent alternative measures of, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definitions of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies or similar terms in the Company’s debt facilities. Other companies may have different capital structures or different lease terms, and comparability to the results of operations of the Company may be impacted by the effects of acquisition accounting on its depreciation and amortization. As a result of the effects of these factors and factors specific to other companies, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide helpful information to analysts and investors to facilitate a comparison of its operating performance to that of other companies.

This financial information contained herein constitutes “forward-looking information” within the meaning of the securities laws and is subject to a number of uncertainties and actual results could differ from those included herein, and such differences may be material. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information.

as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
