Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On November 10, 2014, Omnicare, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption with respect to all of its outstanding 3.75% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2042 (the “2042 Notes”) at a redemption price equal to approximately $1,048.89 per $1,000 principal amount of 2042 Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date of December 10, 2014). Each holder of the 2042 Notes may, at such holder’s option, convert all or a portion of such holder’s 2042 Notes on or prior to December 9, 2014, subject to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2042 Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash and shares of its common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each day of the applicable 25 trading day cash settlement averaging period. The current conversion rate is 24.3607 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2042 Notes (subject to adjustment in accordance with the indenture governing the 2042 Notes), which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $41.05 per share.
