Maples and Calder, the Maples Group's law firm, was delighted to act as lead Luxembourg counsel for AmerisourceBergen Corporation ("AmerisourceBergen"), on the acquisition of the Walgreens Boots Alliance ("WBA")’s Alliance Healthcare wholesale pharmacy businesses for US$6.5 billion. The sale included US$6.275 billion in cash and US$2 million shares of AmerisourceBergen common stock.
A team of lawyers based in the firm's Luxembourg office advised AmerisourceBergen on this transaction and was led by Marjorie Allo, Partner and head of the Corporate team in Luxembourg, with
