Walgreens Agrees To Pay $192.5M To Resolve Rite Aid Buyout Suit: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA) has agreed to a $192.5 million settlement following allegations of misleading information regarding its 2015 attempt to purchase Rite Aid Corp (RADCQ). The misleading information led to an increase in Rite Aid's stock value, but the withdrawal of the merger in 2017 resulted in significant financial losses for investors. The settlement is expected to bring relief to Rite Aid's investors, especially given the company's recent filing for Chapter 11.
