This year,AmerisourceBergen will take advantage of the
Notice and Access method of delivering proxy materials electronically
for the first time. This will allow the Company to cut its paper
copy proxy material requirements by approximately 80%, saving
paper, reducing shipping costs, and giving our shareholders more
timely access to these documents.
CORPORATE GIVING
While the key to our financial success is the responsible
use ofcorporate assets, we also acknowledge our responsibility
as a good corporate citizen to contribute some of our resources
back to our communities. The mission for the AmerisourceBergen
Charitable Contributions Program is to serve local institutions and
agencies in communities wheretheCompany operates through
direct donations,volunteer support, and healthcare education.
Our contributionsprogram focuses on improving the mental,
social, andphysical well-being of the elderly populations in
those communities. For example, over the last two years, we
have contributed $230,000 to the Little Brothers — Friends of
the Elderly (LBFE) organization. The local LBFE Chapters organize
volunteers whoregularly visit socially isolated elderly individuals
and provide other crucial services to that
underserved population. AmerisourceBergen
is proud to support the LBFE and all of their
volunteers across the country who make a
meaningful difference in the lives of the elderly every day.
AmerisourceBergen also supports other organizations that
assist the elderly, and more information can be found at
