Mylan Statement Regarding European Commission’s Conditional Approval of the Combination of Mylan and Pfizer’s Upjohn Division

Mylan Statement Regarding European Commission’s Conditional Approval of the Combination of Mylan and Pfizer’s Upjohn Division
 
We are pleased to receive the European Commission’s (EC) approval of the combination of Mylan and Upjohn, conditioned upon the completion of the sale of certain of Mylan’s products in Europe. We appreciate the opportunity to have worked collaboratively with the EC on this approval, and the scale and scope of these required product divestitures are substantially in line with Mylan’s previously stated expectations. This is a significant milestone, and we are committed to fully satisfy the EU’s conditions, and expect to have the divestitures complete by the timely close in the second half of 2020.
