On July 21, 2023, McKesson Corporation ("Company") held its Annual Shareholders Meeting (“Annual Meeting”). Shown below are the results of the shareholders' vote, as certified by the Inspector of Election, on each of the items of business described in Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2023 (“Proxy Statement”). Each of the items considered at the Annual Meeting is described in further detail in the Proxy Statement. No additional item was submitted at the Annual Meeting for shareholder action.

Item 1. Each of the following individuals nominated by the Board of Directors ("Board") was elected to serve as a director, having received the following votes:1

Item 2. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 was ratified, having received the following votes:2

112,107,591						7,338,010						186,446						—

Votes For						Votes Against						Abstentions						Broker Non-Votes

Item 4. The proposal for shareholders to vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation received the following votes:3

1 Year						2 Years						3 Years						Abstentions						Broker Non-Votes
106,826,660						112,967						1,360,791						259,354						11,122,275

1			Under the Company’s majority voting standard, the election of a nominee required that the nominee receive a majority of the votes cast (that is, the number of votes cast “for” each nominee had to exceed the number of votes cast “against” such nominee). Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results.

2			Approval of each proposal with this footnote designation required the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, abstentions, which represented shares present and entitled to vote, had the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results.
3			The frequency that received the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal constitutes the advisory recommendation of the shareholders. Therefore, abstentions, which represented shares present and entitled to vote, had the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results. If no frequency option received majority support, then the option that received the highest number of votes would be considered the frequency preferred by shareholders for holding future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Based on the results of the shareholder votes on proxy Item 4 above, and as recommended by the Company’s Board, the Company has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation will be submitted to shareholders on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
