Merger of Walgreens and Boots Alliance

Gene Drexler on

Our club owns Walgreens, at the close of Dec. 30 the stock
symbol was WAG and closed at 76.05. On Dec. 31st the stock
symbol was WBA and closed at 76.20. How do I make this
change in Bivio?
Under a reorganization merger agreement approved earlier
this week by Walgreens shareholders, Walgreens is now a
wholly owned subsidiary of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.
Existing shares of Walgreens common stock were converted
automatically into shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance common
stock on a one-for-one basis. Walgreens Boots Alliance
common stock will trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange under
the symbol WBA.

Hi Gene,

When changes like this happen, they need to be updated by our pricing provider. The change happened on the 31st so I suspect you will see the ticker adjusted to the new one either tonight or tomorrow.

This was a merger but it was a one to one merger so it may be handled as just a ticker change in the pricing data. We need to wait and see to get your records updated appropriately.
