Walgreens Takes Full Ownership of 340B Specialty Pharmacy Company Shields Health Solutions

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) announced September 20th that it is acquiring the remaining 30% stake in 340B specialty pharmacy company Shields Health Solutions that it did not already own. WBA first invested in Shields in July 2019. Last year, it spent about $970 million to raise its stake in Shields to about 70%.  WBA announced that it is acquiring the remaining stake for approximately $1.37 billion.  The transaction is expected to close by the end of the 2022 calendar year.

Shields is a leader in the large, fast-growing market of specialty pharmacy, and is one of the primary players to help 340B hospitals build out their own specialty pharmacy infrastructure.  In January 2021, it purchased ExceleraRx, a specialty pharmacy network that consists of some of the most established specialty pharmacy programs in the country including Fairview Health, CommonSpirit, Avera Health, Intermountain, Banner and Monument Health.
