Walgreens Boots Alliance thanks outgoing board director Rosenstein

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens Boots Alliance thanked Barry Rosenstein, managing partner of JANA Partners and outgoing board director, for his service since September 2016. Rosenstein’s board service was set to end once JANA reduced its investment in Walgreens below a certain threshold, which happened this week, though it still holds a significant stake in Walgreens. 

 

“I sincerely appreciate, and want to personally thank, Barry for the tremendous insight he has provided to our board to help create value for our shareholders,” Walgreens Boots Alliance executive vice chairman and CEO Stefano Pessina said. “His talent and expertise have made a significant contribution to the success of our company and its future.”

 

Rosenstein said he “could not have dreamed up a better example of the value of constructive and positive engagement between a company and its shareholders, and I am proud of the work this board has done since 2014 to put Walgreens on the path to delivering maximum value for all of its shareholders.”
