Recently a complaint was filed against the company. The Individual Defendants willfully ignored their obligations, Walgreens’ internal controls and numerous warnings and government investigations and inquiries specifically relating to failure to address rampant misconduct in the Company’s pharmacies. The Individual Defendants failed to make a good faith effort to correct the problems or prevent their recurrence. Defendants, by their actions and by engaging in the wrongdoing described herein, abandoned and abdicated their responsibilities and duties about prudently managing the business of Walgreens in a manner consistent with the duties imposed upon them by law. By committing the misconduct alleged herein, Individual Defendants breached their duties of due care, diligence and loyalty in the management and administration of Walgreens’ affairs and in the use and preservation of Walgreens’ assets. As a direct and proximate result of the Individual Defendants’ conscious failure to perform their fiduciary obligations, Walgreens has sustained significant damages, not only monetarily, but also to its corporate image and goodwill. As a result of the misconduct alleged herein, Defendants are liable to the Company.
