Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On December 20, 2010, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 applicable to the proposed acquisition (the Acquisition) of US Oncology Holdings, Inc. (the Company) by McKesson Corporation (McKesson).
On December 21, 2010, the Supreme Court of the State of New York entered an Interim Order in the case Cancer Clinics of Excellence, LLC, et al. v. McKesson Corporation, et al., Index No. 652124/10 (N.Y. County), which among other things, enjoined and restrained McKesson from consummating the Acquisition pending an evidentiary hearing on January 10, 2011. The plaintiffs in this case allege that the Acquisition is in breach of an agreement between the plaintiffs and McKesson, and have sought an injunction prohibiting the Acquisition, as well as unspecified damages. McKesson has informed the Company that it intends to immediately appeal this order to allow for the Acquisition to close as soon as possible.
