Item 8.01.                                        Other Events.

 

On May 22, 2015, Steven H. Collis, President and Chief Executive Officer of AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Company”), adopted a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 stock trading plan. Under the 10b5-1 plan, Mr. Collis may sell up to an aggregate of 325,786 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired through the exercise of stock options which are scheduled to expire at various times beginning in February 2017.  Shares may be sold under the 10b5-1 plan on the open market at prevailing market prices and subject to minimum price thresholds specified in the plan.  Mr. Collis’ plan is scheduled to terminate on June 15, 2016, unless terminated sooner in accordance with the plan’s terms.

 

Mr. Collis’ 10b5-1 plan was adopted in a scheduled open window period under the Company’s insider trading policy.  The plan was designed to comply with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permit persons to enter into a pre-arranged plan for buying or selling Company stock at a time when such person is not in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company.

 

Mr. Collis continues to be subject to the Company’s executive stock ownership guidelines, under which he is required to hold Company stock valued at least six times his base salary. Mr. Collis does not expect the plan to materially change his ownership position.

 

The transactions under Mr. Collis’ 10b5-1 plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 stock trading plans of Company officers, nor to report modifications or terminations of the aforementioned plan or the plans of any other individual.
