ITEM 2  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        (a) On January 12, 1999, McKesson HBOC, Inc. ("McKesson" which term
shall include references to its predecessor, McKesson Corporation, as
appropriate) consummated its acquisition of HBO & Company ("HBOC"). The
transaction was closed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") dated October 17, 1998, as amended, by and among McKesson
Corporation, McKesson Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub), and HBOC. As a result of
the transaction, HBOC became a wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson. The purchase
price consisted of the issuance of approximately 177.2 million shares of
McKesson common stock valued at approximately $15.1 billion in exchange for all
the outstanding common stock of HBOC as of the date of consummation based on an
exchange ratio equal to 0.37 shares of McKesson common stock for each share of
HBOC common stock acquired. In addition, approximately 10.6 million shares were
reserved for issuance, valued at approximately $903.1 million, in connection
with the assumption of HBOC's outstanding options, warrants and employee stock
purchase plans pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

        The basic terms of the Merger Agreement, the method used for determining
the amount of consideration paid by McKesson and the relationships between
McKesson and HBOC and their respective directors and executive officers were
described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus dated November 27, 1998 filed
in connection with McKesson's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-
67299), which is incorporated herein by reference. HBOC's assets consist of
cash, receivables, inventory, property and equipment, and other tangible and
intangible assets.

        The approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions associated
with it by the stockholders of each of McKesson and HBOC and the consummation of
the merger of Merger Sub with and into HBOC (the "Merger") was announced in a
press release of McKesson dated January 12, 1999, a copy of which is filed as an
exhibit hereto.

        (b) The acquisition by McKesson of shares of HBOC common stock pursuant
to the Merger Agreement is deemed the indirect acquisition of the assets of HBOC
represented thereby, including HBOC's equipment and other physical property.
HBOC utilizes such assets in the conduct of its business as a leader in
providing software solutions, technological innovation and comprehensive
services to the healthcare industry. McKesson will continue to utilize such
assets in the conduct of its business as the world's largest healthcare services
company.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        On January 12, 1999, McKesson took a number of actions required pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of McKesson was amended to change the name of McKesson Corporation
to McKesson HBOC, Inc. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation is filed as an exhibit hereto.

        In addition, the Board of Directors of McKesson adopted resolutions
by unanimous written consent that, among other things, amended the By-laws of
McKesson as required pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. A copy of
the Amendment to the By-laws is filed as an exhibit hereto.

        Further, prior to the effective time of the Merger, each of Mary G. F.
Bitterman, John M. Pietruski, David S. Pottruck and Robert H. Waterman, Jr.
resigned as a Director of McKesson, and Alan Seelenfreund resigned as Chairman
of the Board of Directors of McKesson. As of the effective time of the Merger,
Alfred C. Eckert III and Gerald E. Mayo were elected to serve as a Director of
McKesson until the annual meeting of stockholders for 1999; James V. Napier and
Alton F. Irby III were elected to serve as a Director of McKesson until the 2000
annual meeting; and Charles W. McCall was elected to serve as a Director of
McKesson until the 2001 annual meeting. Mr. McCall was also elected to serve as
Chairman of the Board of Directors of McKesson, and certain changes were made to
the Committees of the Board of McKesson and certain additional officers were
appointed, as further described in a press release of McKesson dated January 13,
1999, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

                 McKESSON HBOC, INC. BEGINS OPERATIONS AS THE 
                 WORLD'S LARGEST HEALTHCARE SERVICES COMPANY

SAN FRANCISCO, January 13, 1999 -- McKesson HBOC, Inc. (McKessonHBOC)
(NYSE:MCK), the world's largest healthcare services company, began operations
today. McKessonHBOC provides pharmaceutical supply management and information
technologies across the entire continuum of healthcare, including market-
leading businesses in pharmaceutical and medical-surgical distribution,
information technology for healthcare providers, services for payors and
outsourcing.
        McKessonHBOC serves approximately 5,000 hospitals, 25,000 retail 
pharmacies, 200,000 physicians, 10,000 long-term care sites, 750 home care 
agencies, 600 healthcare payors, 450 pharmaceutical manufactures and 2,000 
medical-surgical manufacturers. While more than 95 percent of the company's 
revenues come from the U.S. healthcare market, McKessonHBOC also has customers 
in 10 other countries.
        "McKessonHBOC has a proven track record for providing information-based 
solutions that reduce costs and improve quality for our customers across the 
full continuum of healthcare," said Mark A. Pulido, president and chief 
executive officer. "We are dedicated to improving healthcare performance by 
delivering the right products and information to the right place at the right 
time to advance the success of our customers as they restructure healthcare 
delivery."
        "McKesson HBOC, Inc. is the leader in fast-growing healthcare segments, 
with favorable dynamics driving growth in each of our markets. McKessonHBOC 
pharmaceutical sales are growing in excess of 15 percent per year and healthcare
information technology revenues are increasing at a rate of more than 25 percent
per year."

        "By coordinating our product and service offerings, we can reduce steps
in the healthcare delivery process," Pulido continued. "As a result, we
anticipate acceleration of our historically strong growth to create further
value for our shareholders. And, we will continue an aggressive acquisition
program to capitalize on supply management and healthcare technology
opportunities."
        Four HBOC executives have joined McKesson's existing corporate officers 
on the new McKessonHBOC Executive Operating Committee:
        -- Charles W. McCall, chairman of the McKessonHBOC Board of Directors, 
formerly HBO & Company (HBOC) chairman and chief executive officer.
        -- Albert J. Bergonzi, group president, Healthcare Information 
Technology, reporting to Pulido. Bergonzi was formerly HBOC president and chief 
operating officer.
        -- David A. Schenk, in the new position of senior vice president, 
Affiliation Team, reporting to Pulido. Schenk will lead a dedicated team 
selected from McKessonHBOC operating and functional units to identify and fully 
capitalize on opportunities to accelerate revenue growth through cross-selling, 
leveraging customer relationships, enhancing existing products and creating new 
products. Schenk, who joined HBOC in 1982, had been senior vice president, 
Enterprise Services, with responsibility for HBOC's Enterprise Services as well
as the services functions of the Charlotte Product Group and CyCare Business
Group. He also led all enterprise project management efforts.
        -- E. Christine Rumsey, senior vice president, Human Resources and 
Administration, also reporting to Pulido. Rumsey, who had been senior vice 
president for Human Resources for HBOC, replaces William A. Armstrong, who is 
retiring after 26 years with McKesson. She joined HBOC in 1981.
        "The newly formed McKessonHBOC Affiliation Team has a goal to identify 
two to three major projects that will deliver significant incremental pre-tax 
income each year," concluded Pulido. "They have a target of pre-tax synergies in
excess of $75 million in fiscal year 2000 from a combination of cost savings and
cross-selling initiatives, and a target of $125 million in the following fiscal 
year."
