 Exhibit 10.6 

WALGREENS BOOTS ALLIANCE, INC. MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN 

(As amended and restated effective December 31, 2014) 

Walgreen Co. (“Walgreens”) previously maintained the Walgreen Co. Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). On December 31, 2014, a
reorganization of Walgreens into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) was completed. Pursuant to the Reorganization, Walgreens became a wholly owned subsidiary of a new Delaware corporation named Walgreens Boots Alliance,
Inc. (the “Company”). In connection with the Reorganization, the Plan was assumed by the Company and the Plan is hereby amended and restated as set forth herein, effective as of December 31, 2014, in order to reflect such assumption.

  

	1.	Purpose: The purpose of the Plan is to provide special incentive and motivation to eligible employees through annual bonuses. 

 

	2.	Definitions: Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below, unless the context clearly provides otherwise: 

 

	 	a.	The term “Base Salary” shall mean the hourly or salaried base compensation paid during the fiscal year to a Participant, and any such base salary earned but deferred or reduced pursuant to a Company
Section 401(k) plan, or Section 125 plan, or another Company deferral plan. The term Base Salary does not include any incentive or other bonuses, stock purchase discounts, or other fringe benefits or supplementary remuneration.

  

	 	b.	The term “Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	 	c.	The term “Company” shall mean Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, as applicable, subsidiaries and affiliates of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. whose employees are eligible to
participate in the Plan. 

  

	 	d.	The term “Disability” shall mean total disability as determined by the Committee, consistent with how the Company determines whether termination of employment is upon disability for other benefit plan
purposes. 

  

	 	e.	The term “Employee” shall mean any employee of the Company, including, but not limited to, the officers of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Employee shall not include any person who is not classified as an
employee in the common law sense in the records of the Company, even if those records are subsequently determined to have been in error or the person is subsequently reclassified as an employee. For example, no person shall be considered to be an
Employee for any period of time during which he or she: (1) is a leased employee; (2) is an independent contractor; or (3) is otherwise not classified as an employee in the records of the Company. 

 

	 	f.	The term “Extraordinary Items” shall mean significant transactions that are different from the typical or customary business transactions and are not expected to occur frequently as determined by the informed
professional judgment of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company after taking into consideration all the facts involved in a particular situation and the objectives of the Plan. 

	 	g.	The term “Individual Adjustment” shall mean the amount of any increase or reduction in the bonus share that would otherwise be allocated to a Participant.

Committee. 

  

	 	j.	The term “Retirement” shall mean termination of employment from the Company in good standing, as determined by the Committee or its delegates, and after having attained at least age 55 and at least 10 years of
continuous service. 

  

	3.	Eligibility and Participation: The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to determine the class or classes of Employees eligible to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year. As of the effective date
of this amended and restated Plan, the following categories of Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Plan: 

  

	 	a.	Any Employee whose job position is within the Analysis pay band and above or its equivalent and is not covered by another Company management incentive plan; and 

 

	 	b.	Any other Employee who is approved for participation by the Committee, based on the recommendation of Company management that he or she is in a position to make a substantial contribution to the success of the Company
by exceptional service in a supervisory or staff position. 

 The Committee shall also have the authority to approve or deny
Plan participation to any individual Employee. No Employee shall have a contractual right to receive any incentive award or payment, as all awards and payments are ultimately subject to the approval and authorization of the Committee. 

 

	4.	Determination of Bonuses: Participant bonuses for each Plan Year shall be determined as follows: 

  

	 	a.	Prior to the beginning of the Plan Year, or as early in the Plan Year as is practical considering the circumstances, management will recommend for Committee approval the bonus structure and accompanying details for that
Plan Year. Such recommendation shall cover the following areas and any other pertinent bonus provisions: 

  

	 	(1)	The class or class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year. 

  

	 	(2)	The performance measure or measures upon which bonuses shall be based, and the extent to which such measures shall be based on Company, division, or business unit performance, or some combination thereof. The
application of such performance measures may vary among different categories of employees. 

  

	 	(3)	Target bonus levels (typically expressed as a percentage of Base Salary), threshold and maximum bonus levels (typically expressed as a percentage of the target bonus level), and the corresponding Company performance
measure or measures. Such bonus levels may vary for different groups of Participants as determined by the Committee. 

  

	 	(4)	Any Individual Adjustments that may be applied, whether based on pre-established individual performance measures or determined on a discretionary basis. 

  
 - 2 - 

	 	b.	After the end of each Plan Year when the computations and accounting determinations required to determine Plan bonuses have been completed, the highest-ranking accounting officer of the Company will report to the
Committee that in his or her opinion those computations and accounting determinations were made in reasonable accordance with the terms of the Plan, and generally accepted accounting principles, subject to any adjustments provided for under the
terms of paragraph 4c of the Plan and the certifications provided for under the terms of this paragraph 4b. 

  

	 	c.	In the event that the Company experiences any Extraordinary Items, the Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with the Chief Human Resources Officer, will recommend to the Committee, whether such Extraordinary Items
will be included in or excluded from the determination of the Company’s financial performance measure or measures used in determining the bonus for the Plan Year. 

 

	 	d.	The bonuses earned by Participants under the terms of the Plan will be paid to Participants after the first meeting of the Board of Directors which follows the end of the applicable Plan Year, but in no event later than
the date by which such bonuses must be paid in order to be allowed as a Federal income tax deduction for the fiscal year coinciding with such Plan Year. 

  

	5.	Participation for Partial Plan Years: 

  

	 	a.	Any Plan Participant whose employment with the Company terminates during a Plan Year for reasons other than Retirement, Disability or death shall not be eligible for a bonus for that Plan Year. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Company management may recommend to the Committee for its approval a discretionary bonus for any terminated Participant if in the judgment of management such a discretionary bonus is warranted. 

 

	 	b.	Any Plan Participant whose employment with the Company terminates during a Plan Year due to Retirement, Disability or death shall be eligible for a pro-rated bonus for such Plan Year, based on Base Salary earned while a
Participant in the Plan prior to such termination of employment. 

  

	 	c.	A Participant who is eligible for a bonus hereunder for a portion of a Plan Year (due to hire, promotion or transfer during that Plan Year), shall generally be eligible for a bonus under this Plan based on Base Salary
earned during the eligible portion of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the bonus amount payable to a Participant who is hired within the Plan Year, moves to a different target bonus level during the Plan Year, or receives payment under
another Company incentive plan during the current or prior year, shall be subject to the discretion of the Committee and its delegates. 

  

	 	d.	Subject to the end-of-year employment requirement set forth in paragraph 5a above, a Plan Participant who is on a Company-approved leave of absence (other than a Personal Leave of absence) for a portion of a Plan Year
shall remain eligible for a bonus for up to the first six months of such leave of absence. Any short-term disability pay during any such leave of absence shall be included in such Participant’s bonusable Base Salary. 

  
 - 3 - 

	6.	Administration. Subject to the terms of the Plan and the powers granted to the full Board of Directors, the Committee has ultimate authority and responsibility for the administration of the Plan. The Committee
shall have all powers necessary to administer the Plan, including, without limitation, the power to interpret the provisions of the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility, to establish rules and forms for the administration of the Plan, and to
delegate specific duties and responsibilities to officers or other employees of the Company. All determinations, interpretations, rules, and decisions of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest or right under the Plan.

  

	7.	Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the members of the Committee, the other members of the Board of Directors and all Company officers and other employees responsible for administering the Plan against
any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act or failure to act made in good faith in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. For this purpose, liabilities include expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating to the
Plan. 

  

	8.	Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended from time to time or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. 

 

	9.	General Plan Provisions: 

  

	 	a.	Nothing in this Plan is intended to limit the authority of the Committee to award additional discretionary bonuses to one or more senior executives of the Company as the Committee deems appropriate from time to time.

  

	 	b.	The impact of the payment of bonuses under the Plan on Participants’ other Company employee benefits shall be based on the governing terms of such other employee benefit plans and programs, or as determined by the
Committee or its delegates, where necessary. 

  

	 	c.	Neither the existence of the Plan nor any substantive aspect of the Plan shall give any Participant the right to continued employment with the Company for any period of time or shall interfere with the right of the
Company to discipline or discharge a Participant at any time. 

  

	 	d.	The Company shall withhold from any bonus payment made pursuant to the Plan any taxes required to be withheld from such payment under local, state or federal law. 

 

	 	e.	Bonuses otherwise payable hereunder may be paid on a deferred basis pursuant to any deferred compensation program that may be implemented with Committee approval in compliance with the requirements of Internal Revenue
Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. 

  

	 	f.	The Company shall not be required to fund or otherwise segregate any cash or other assets for purposes of meeting its obligations under the Plan. 

 

	 	g.	The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Illinois, except as preempted by federal law. 

 

	 	h.	A Participant shall not have any right to pledge, hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien upon any amounts provided under this Plan and no benefits payable hereunder shall be assignable in anticipation of
payment either by voluntary or involuntary acts, or by operation of law. 

  

	 	i.	The Plan shall be binding upon the Company and any successor of the Company, including without limitation any corporation or other entity acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company whether by merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise. Such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of the Plan.

    solicit the services of any employee of the Company employed as at or after the date of such termination, or in the year preceding
    such termination.

 

The
provisions contained in Section 10 are considered reasonable by the Executive and the Company. In the event that any such
provisions should be found to be void under applicable laws but would be valid if some part thereof was deleted or the period
or area of application reduced, such provisions shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make them valid and
effective.

 

This
Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 10,
the Executive acknowledges that there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief
and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate).
In any event, the Company shall have right to seek all remedies permissible under applicable law.

anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any
amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such national, provincial, local or any other income,
employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

		12.	ASSIGNMENT

 

This
Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Company may assign or transfer
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any member of the Group without such consent, and (ii) in the
event of a Change of Control Transaction, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations
of the Company hereunder.

		13.	SEVERABILITY

 

If
any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions
or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end
the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

Employment and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter, including any
prior agreements between the Executive and a member of the Group. The Executive acknowledges that he or she has not entered into
this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking which is not set forth in this Agreement. Any amendment

		17.	WAIVER

 

Neither
the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy,
power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with
respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted
to have granted such waiver.

 

		18.	NOTICES

 

All
notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall

to consult with legal counsel of choice. In any construction of the terms of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed
