Compensation Plans Align Pay with Performance Short-Term Incentive Pay Payouts under cash-based annual plan down 20% from FY 2016 to FY 2017 CEO’s target annual cash incentive opportunity remains flat since May 2008 (ninth consecutive year) Overall Compensation & Salary CEO’s total reported compensation declined (fourth consecutive year) CEO’s base salary remains unchanged since May 2010 (seventh consecutive year) Payouts under cash-based long-term plan down 40% from FY 2016 to FY 2017 Stock price performance resulted in no payout of shares under FY 2015-2017 Total Shareholder Return Unit program Stock option grants made in FY 2015, FY 2016 and FY 2017 all underwater at fiscal year-end Long-Term Incentive Pay

Realizable Pay: CEO Pay Aligned with Performance The following pay elements are included in both SCT and realizable pay. The gray bars in the graph represent values disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) and actual payouts of the Management Incentive Plan (MIP - annual cash incentive) and Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP – long-term cash incentive) The blue bars in the graph include outstanding long-term incentive awards at target payout using our stock price at the end of FY 17 This is a conservative methodology, since some outstanding awards might not ever ultimately vest Because 100% of our CEO's long-term incentives are directly tied to stock price or operational metrics, our CEO’s realizable pay is materially lower than reported SCT amounts over the same period Declining MIP payouts further reinforce pay for performance alignment over the same measurement period CEO Pay (denoted in thousands) FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 SCT Value Realizable Value SCT Value Realizable Value SCT Value Realizable Value Base Salary $1,680 $1,680 $1,680 $1,680 $1,680 $1,680 MIP $5,292 $5,292 $4,234 $4,234 $3,402 $3,402 Long-Term Incentives $17,504 $2,634 $17,374 $6,152 $14,470 $7,101 All Other Comp. $368 $368 $362 $362 $588 $588 Total Compensation $24,844 $9,974 $23,650 $12,427 $20,140 $12,771 CEO Summary Compensation Table Pay vs. Realizable Pay at March 31, 2017

Item 5. Independent Board Chairman Board Perspectives on Shareholder Proposals Given the robust Lead Independent Director role, the need for Board flexibility to select Chairman best suited to drive shareholder value, and the strong financial performance under current leadership, the Board recommends a vote “AGAINST” The Company’s structure is working effectively as evidenced by the strong financial performance during Mr. Hammergren’s tenure as Chairman/CEO Mr. Hammergren’s in-depth knowledge of the healthcare industry and the Company’s complex businesses and operations best equips him to lead and focus the Board on the most critical issues Effective Company Structure Board Should Select Leadership Structure Board uses its judgment to select the most qualified and appropriate individual to serve as Chairman at any given time based on the needs of the Company Board selected an independent director as Chairman in the past, and may do so again in the future Robust Lead Independent Director role provides management oversight and independent leadership since July 2013 Strong Lead Independent Director


SLIDE 11

Best-in-Class Lead Independent Director Duties and Powers On May 24, 2017, the Board of Directors reelected Edward A. Mueller to serve a two-year term as the Board’s Lead Independent Director, effective July 26, 2017.

Item 6. Right to Act by Written Consent Board Perspectives on Shareholder Proposals Shareholders Have Right to Call a Special Meeting Committed to Governance Best Practices In recent years, McKesson has enhanced its governance practices, including: Proxy Access, No Supermajority Vote Provisions, No Poison Pill, Robust Lead Independent Director role, Declassified Board, and Disclosure of Political Contributions Shareholders have opportunity to communicate directly with members of the Board, including the Lead Independent Director A By-Law amendment in 2013 established the right to call a special meeting of shareholders for record holders who have held a net long position of at least 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares for at least one year Given shareholders’ right to call a special meeting, and the lack of notice and other protections for shareholders in the written consent context, the Board recommends a vote “AGAINST” Not in Best Interest of Company or Shareholders Permits shareholders to take action without input from, and notice and dissemination of corresponding materials to, all of our shareholders No requirement to satisfy any holding requirements with respect to our common stock Does not give Board sufficient opportunity to analyze actions and make recommendations
