Summary
This 8-K filing from McKesson Corporation, filed on August 9, 2002, primarily serves as a disclosure regarding statements submitted by its Principal Executive Officer, John H. Hammergren, and Principal Financial Officer, William R. Graber. These statements were provided in response to an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Section 21(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The filing itself does not contain new financial results or operational updates but points to the attached exhibits (99.1 and 99.2) for the detailed statements. For investors, the critical takeaway is that the company's top leadership is formally responding to an SEC inquiry. While the nature of the inquiry isn't detailed in this 8-K, the requirement for sworn statements from the CEO and CFO suggests a matter of significant regulatory scrutiny. Investors should pay close attention to the content of Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to understand the specifics of the SEC's order and McKesson's response, as this could have material implications for the company's future operations and valuation.
