Upjohn Announces Pricing of Senior Notes in Connection with the Proposed Combination of Mylan and Upjohn

June 18, 2020 – Upjohn Inc. (“Newco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) (NYSE: PFE), Upjohn Finance B.V. (“Finco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco, Pfizer and Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”) (Nasdaq: MYL) today announced the pricing of a private offering of $7.45 billion aggregate principal amount of Newco’s senior, U.S. dollar-denominated notes (collectively, the “U.S. Dollar Notes”) and a private offering of €3.60 billion aggregate principal amount of Finco’s senior, euro-denominated notes (collectively, the “Euro Notes” and, together with the U.S. Dollar Notes, the “Notes”), comprised of:

 

   

$1,000 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% senior notes due 2022;

 

   

$750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.650% senior notes due 2025;

 

   

$750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.300% senior notes due 2027;

 

   

$1,450 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% senior notes due 2030;

 

   

$1,500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% senior notes due 2040;

 

   

$2,000 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior notes due 2050;

 

   

€750 million aggregate principal amount of 0.816% senior notes due 2022;

 

   

€750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.023% senior notes due 2024;

 

   

€850 million aggregate principal amount of 1.362% senior notes due 2027; and

 

   

€1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 1.908% senior notes due 2032.

Subject to customary closing conditions, the sales of the U.S. Dollar Notes are expected to close on or about June 22, 2020 and the sales of the Euro Notes are expected to close on or about June 23, 2020. Upon completion of each offering of Notes, the commitments under Newco’s previously announced Bridge Loan Facility Commitment Letter dated as of July 29, 2019 will be automatically reduced in an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds from such offering of Notes.

The Notes are being offered in connection with the previously announced proposed combination (the “Combination”) of Pfizer’s global, primarily off-patent branded and generic established medicines business (the “Upjohn Business”) and Mylan. Prior to the Combination, Pfizer will contribute the Upjohn Business to Newco, so that the Upjohn Business is separated from the remainder of Pfizer’s businesses (the “Separation”), and Pfizer will distribute to its stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Newco’s common stock held by Pfizer (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Separation, and as partial consideration for Pfizer’s contribution of the Upjohn Business to Newco, Newco will make a cash payment of $12 billion to Pfizer. Newco intends to use the net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes, together with the net proceeds from other previously announced financing transactions, to fund in full that $12 billion cash payment to Pfizer and related transaction fees and expenses.


The U.S. Dollar Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Newco. The U.S. Dollar Notes will initially be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Pfizer. The guarantee by Pfizer will be automatically and unconditionally terminated and released without the consent of holders upon the consummation of the Distribution. Upon the consummation of the Combination, the Mylan entities (which will be subsidiaries of Newco following the Combination) that are issuers or guarantors of the outstanding senior unsecured notes issued by Mylan or Mylan Inc. (such notes, the “Mylan Notes” and, such issuers and guarantors, the “Mylan Guarantors”) will become guarantors of the U.S. Dollar Notes, substantially concurrently with Newco becoming a guarantor of the Mylan Notes.

The Euro Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Finco. The Euro Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Newco and will initially be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Pfizer. The guarantee by Pfizer will be automatically and unconditionally terminated and released without the consent of holders upon the consummation of the Distribution. Upon the consummation of the Combination, the Mylan Guarantors will become guarantors of the Euro Notes, substantially concurrently with Newco becoming a guarantor of the Mylan Notes.

The U.S. Dollar Notes are being offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The U.S. Dollar Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The Euro Notes are being offered only to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Euro Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the U.K. has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the U.K. may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This news release does not constitute an advertisement for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.


This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the U.S. Dollar Notes or the Euro Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
