OWENS MINOR INCVA

On October 11, 2024, the Company and Rotech each received a request for additional information and documentary materials from the Federal Trade Commission (the FTC) in connection with the FTC’s review of the Merger. The effect of a Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, until 30 days after each of the Company and Rotech has substantially complied with the Second Request issued to it, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier by the FTC.

Completion of the Rotech Acquisition remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Company continues to work constructively with the FTC in its review of the Merger and expects that the Merger will be completed in the first half of 2025, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none ofour directors orofficers informed us of the adoption or termination of a trading plan intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c).
