II. RESPONDENTS 12. Respondent Glaxo is a corporation organized, existing and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the United Kingdom, with its office and principal place of business located at Glaxo Wellcome House, Berkeley Avenue, Greenford, Middlesex, VOLUME 131 Complaint UB6 ONN, England. Glaxo is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and sale of human pharmaceutical products, including 5HT-3 antiemetic drugs, Second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes, Topical prescription herpes antivirals, Ceftazidime, Prophylactic herpes vaccines, OTC H-2 blockers, Topoisomerase I inhibitors, Drugs for the treatment of IBS, and Triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches.

13. Respondent SB is a corporation organized, existing and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the United Kingdom, with its office and principal place of business located at New Horizons Court, Brentford, Middlesex, TW8 9EP, England. SB, among other things, is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and sale of human pharmaceutical products, including 5HT-3 antiemetic drugs, Second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes, Topical prescription herpes antivirals, Ceftazidime, Prophylactic herpes vaccines, OTC H-2 blockers, Topoisomerase I inhibitors, Drugs for the treatment of IBS, and Triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches.

14. Respondents are, and at all times relevant herein have been, engaged in commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 1 of the Clayton Act as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 12, and are corporations whose business is in, or affects commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 44. Ill. THE PROPOSED MERGER 15. On January 17, 2000, the Boards of Glaxo and SB announced agreement to the terms of a merger to be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement of Glaxo and SB under section 425 of the Companies Act of 1985 (“Merger”). The value of the transaction is approximately $182 billion. On completion of the transaction, the current Glaxo shareholders will own approximately 58.75% of the shares of Glaxo Smithkline and VOLUME 131 Complaint current SB shareholders will own approximately 41.25% of the shares of Glaxo Smithkline.

IV. THE RELEVANT MARKETS 16. For the purposes of this Complaint, the relevant lines of commerce in which to analyze the effects of the Merger are: a. the research, development, manufacture and sale of SHT- 3 antiemetic drugs;

b. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes;

c. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Topical prescription herpes antivirals; d. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Ceftazidime;

e. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Prophylactic herpes vaccines;

f.the research, development, manufacture and sale of OTC H-2 blockers;

g. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Topoisomerase I inhibitors;

h. the research, development, manufacture and sale of Drugs for the treatment of IBS; and i.the research, development, manufacture and sale of Triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches. VOLUME 131 Complaint 17. For the purposes of this Complaint, the United States is the relevant geographic area in which to analyze the effects of the Merger in the relevant lines of commerce. V. THE STRUCTURE OF THE MARKETS 18. The market for 5SHT-3 antiemetic drugs is highly concentrated as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (“HHI”). Glaxo and SB are the two leading suppliers of SHT-3 antiemetic drugs in the United States. Glaxo and SB, respectively, have approximately 58% and 34% of the market, and the premerger HHI is 4584. As a result of the Merger, Glaxo Smithkline would have a 92% percent share of the market, and the postmerger HHI would be 8528, representing a 3944 point increase in the HHI.

19. The market for Second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes is highly concentrated. Glaxo and SB are the only two suppliers of these drugs in the United States. No other company is presently manufacturing or selling drugs to compete with Glaxo and SB. 20. The market for Ceftazidime is highly concentrated as measured by the HHI. Glaxo and SB are the only two manufacturers of Ceftazidime in the United States, and two of the three firms with rights to market Ceftazidime in the United States. Glaxo and SB, respectively, have approximately 77% and 8% of the market, and the pre-merger HHI is 6218. As a result of the Merger, Glaxo Smithkline would have an 85% share of the market, and the post-merger HHI would be 7450, representing a 1232 point increase in the HHI.

21. The market for Topical prescription herpes antivirals is highly concentrated. Currently, SB’s Denavir is the only topical prescription preparation approved by the FDA for the treatment of oral herpes. Until April of 2000, Glaxo was in the final stages of seeking FDA approval of a creme formulation of Zovirex for the treatment of oral herpes, but after the announcement of the VOLUME 131 Complaint Merger, Glaxo withdrew the application for FDA approval, without prejudice to its refiling its NDA with the FDA. Glaxo’s Zovirex creme could be on the market in less than one year. No other companies are working on a prescription topical treatments for oral herpes.

22. No company currently markets a prophylactic herpes vaccine. SB has the most advanced development effort toward a herpes vaccine. Glaxo has been developing a vaccine for HSV infection in conjunction with Cantab Pharmaceuticals plc. Glaxo had planned, with Cantab, to design Phase III clinical trials this year, exercising its option to do so pursuant to its contract with Cantab. Other firms that have undertaken efforts to develop a prophylactic herpes vaccine either have failed in their efforts or are far behind SB and Glaxo/Cantab, with vaccines that are only in pre-clinical stages of testing. Thus, Glaxo and SB are likely to be the first two competitors to reach the market with Prophylactic herpes vaccines.

23. The market for OTC H-2 blockers is highly concentrated as measured by the HHI. Glaxo and SB are two of the leading suppliers of OTC H-2 blockers in the United States. Glaxo and SB, respectively, have approximately 30% and 11% of the market, and the pre-merger HHI is 2990. As a result of the Merger, Glaxo Smithkline would have a 41% share of the market, and the postmerger HHI would be 3650, representing a 660 point increase in the HHI.

24. The market for Topoisomerase I inhibitors is highly concentrated. SB’s drug Hycamptin is currently a leading secondline therapy for ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer (“non- SCLC”) and SB is pursuing first-line indications for these cancers as well as second-line therapy for colorectal and other solid-tumor cancers. Glaxo presently maintains rights in a topoisomerase I inhibitor formulation being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. for ovarian, breast, non-SCLC and other solid tumor indications, including colorectal cancer. The only other topoisomerase I inhibitor on the market is Camptosar from Pharmacia, which is VOLUME 131 Complaint currently indicated as a second-line therapy for colorectal cancer. No other topoisomerase I inhibitors is in development. 25. Currently, there are no Drugs available for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Though effective in treating IBS sufferers, Glaxo’s Lotronex, the only FDA-approved treatment for IBS, was recently taken off the market by Glaxo because of concerns about serious side effects in some patients. However, Glaxo continues to conduct clinical trial for Lotronex. Alizyme plc, pursuant to a licensing agreement with SB, has been developing a drug called renzapride for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. If SB exercises the relevant options under its agreement with Alizyme, then SB and Alizyme would have one of only three drugs currently being developed to treat IBS. 26. The market for Triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches is highly concentrated. Glaxo, with approximately 65% of sales, leads the market with its migraine medications Immitrex and Amerge. Only two other drugs in the triptan class are approved for the treatment of migraine headaches — Zomig from AstraZeneca and Maxalt from Merck & Co., Inc. SB presently maintains rights in SB209509, a compound in development that is in the same triptan class as these four drugs. SB209509 is being developed by Vernalis Ltd. for the treatment of migraine headaches.

VI. ENTRY CONDITIONS 27. Entry into each of the relevant markets identified in Paragraph 16 is unlikely and would not occur in a timely manner to deter or counteract the adverse competitive effects described in Paragraph 28, because of, among other things, the time and expense necessary to develop and gain FDA approval for such human pharmaceutical products.

VOLUME 131 Complaint VIL. EFFECTS OF THE MERGER 28. The effects of the Merger, if consummated, may be substantially to lessen competition and to tend to create a monopoly in the relevant markets in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45, in the following ways, among others:

a. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for 5HT-3 antiemetic drugs, either unilaterally or through coordinated interaction;

b. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices in the market for Ceftazidime, either unilaterally or through coordinated interaction; c. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would unilaterally increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for Second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes; d. by eliminating the only potential entrant in the market for Topical prescription herpes antivirals where SB is currently a monopolist;

e. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would forego or delay the development efforts of one of the Prophylactic herpes vaccines or, alternatively, eliminate price competition between the two prophylactic herpes vaccines if both were introduced in the market; f.by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for OTC H-2 blockers, either unilaterally or through coordinated interaction;

VOLUME 131 Complaint g. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for Topoisomerase I inhibitors for the treatment of ovarian, non-SCLC, colorectal, and other solid tumor cancers, either unilaterally or through coordinated interaction; h. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for Drugs for the treatment of IBS; and i.by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for Triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches, either unilaterally or through coordinated interaction. VIII. VIOLATIONS CHARGED 29. The Merger Agreement described in Paragraph 15 constitutes a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45.

30. The Merger described in Paragraph 15, if consummated, would constitute a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45.

WHEREFORE, THE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Federal Trade Commission on this fifteenth day of December, 2000, issues its Complaint against said Respondents.

For a period of one (1) year following the date the divestiture is accomplished, Respondents shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or otherwise attempt to induce any employees of the Commission-approved Acquirer with any amount of responsibility relating to Kytril to terminate their VOLUME 131 Decision and Order employment relationship with the Commission-approved Acquirer; provided, however, a violation of this provision will not occur if: (i) Respondents advertise for employees in newspapers, trade publications or other media not targeted specifically at the employees, or (ii) Respondents hire employees who apply for employment with Respondents, as long as such employees were not solicited by Respondents in violation of this paragraph. During the one-year period following the divestiture, Respondents shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or enter into any arrangement for the services of any employees employed by the Commission-approved Acquirer with any amount of responsibility relating to Kytril, unless the individual’s employment has been terminated by the Commission-approved Acquirer.

K. Respondents shall secure, prior to divestiture, all consents and waivers from all private entities that are necessary for the divestiture of the Kytril Assets, or for the continued research, development, manufacture, sale, marketing or distribution of Kytril by the Commission-approved Acquirer. L. For the periods as set forth in this Paragraph II. L. (collectively, the “Moratorium/Waiting Period,” referred to in the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement as the “Non Competition Period’), Respondents will not market or promote Zofran or any other Antiemetic Product using the services of any employee who has directly participated in the marketing, contracting, promotion or sale of Kytril, regardless of the portion of work time expended on Kytril, within the eighteen (18) month period immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Moratorium/Waiting Period shall be as follows: (1) six (6) months from the Closing Date with respect to Kytril Sales Employees; and (2) twelve (12) months from the Closing Date for all Kytril Core Employees and all other employees who have directly participated in marketing, promotion or sales of Kytril, including participating in strategic decision-making, sales management, brand management, sales training, market research and contracting with managed care organizations, hospitals and other institutions. Without limiting the foregoing, employees covered by this Paragraph II. L. shall include those individuals listed by name and title in Schedule VOLUME 131 Decision and Order 6.10(a) of the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement, as well as all other employees subject to this Paragraph. M. Respondents shall require, as a condition of continued employment post-divestiture, that each Kytril Sales Employee and each Kytril Core Employee sign a confidentiality agreement pursuant to which such employee shall be required to maintain all Kytril Confidential Business Information (including, without limitation, all field experience) strictly confidential, including the nondisclosure of such information to all other employees, executives or other personnel of Respondents. (A copy of this confidentiality agreement is contained in Schedule 6.10(e)(i1) of the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement).

N. Respondents shall provide written notification of the restrictions on the use of the Confidential Business Information relating to Kytril by Respondents’ personnel and of the restrictions on the sale of Zofran by certain SB personnel to all of the Respondents’ employees involved in the manufacturing, distribution, sale or marketing of Kytril or Zofran, with such notification to be in substantially the form set forth in Schedule 6.10(e)(i) of the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement. Respondents shall give such notification by e-mail with return receipt requested or similar transmission, and keep a file of such receipts for one (1) year after the Closing Date. Respondents shall provide a copy of such notification to the Commission-approved Acquirer. Respondents shall also obtain from each employee covered by this Paragraph I. N. an agreement to abide by the applicable restrictions, with the agreement to be in substantially the form set forth in Schedule 6.10(e)(ii) of the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement. Respondents shall maintain complete records of all such agreements at Respondents’ corporate headquarters and shall provide an officer’s certificate to the Commission, stating that such acknowledgment program has been implemented and is being complied with. Respondents shall monitor the implementation by their sales forces of all applicable restrictions, including the provision of written reminders to all such sales personnel at three (3) month intervals until the expiration of the time periods set forth in all VOLUME 131 Decision and Order Divestiture Agreements, including those in the Kytril Asset Sale Agreement, and take corrective actions for the failure of sales personnel to comply with such restrictions or to furnish the written agreements and acknowledgments required by this Order. Respondents shall provide the Commission-approved Acquirer with copies of all certifications, notifications and reminders sent to Respondents’ personnel. O. At the time of divestiture, Respondents shall make available to the Commission-approved Acquirer such personnel, assistance and training as the Commission-approved Acquirer might reasonably need to transfer the Kytril Assets, and shall continue providing such personnel, assistance and training, at the request of the Commission-approved Acquirer, until the Commission-approved Acquirer is fully validated, qualified, and approved by the FDA, and able to manufacture Kytril. At the time of divestiture, Respondents shall also divest any additional, incidental assets of Respondents and make any further arrangements for transitional services within the first twelve (12) months after divestiture that may be reasonably necessary to assure the viability and competitiveness of the Kytril Assets. P. Pending divestiture of the Kytril Assets, Respondents shall take such actions as are necessary to maintain the viability and marketability of the Kytril Assets and to prevent the destruction, removal, wasting, deterioration, or impairment of any of the Kytril Assets except for ordinary wear and tear. Q. Respondents shall maintain manufacturing facilities for Kytril production that are ready, validated, qualified and approved by the FDA, and fully capable of producing Granisetron at a capacity of at least 60 kilograms per year, until either (1) the Commission-approved Acquirer, upon approval by the Commission, terminates, or elects not to extend, any Contract Manufacture arrangement with Respondents to supply Granisetron or Kytril, or (2) the Commission-approved Acquirer is fully validated, qualified, and approved by the FDA and able to manufacture Granisetron or Kytril (hereinafter referred to as the “Kytril Supply Period”).

VOLUME 131 Decision and Order R. During the term of the Kytril Supply Period, Respondents shall manufacture at least 20 kilograms of Granisetron per year and shall not permit, at any time, the total amount of Granisetron available for Kytril production to fall below 30 kilograms. The total amount of Granisetron shall include the amount in both the Respondents’ and the Commissionapproved Acquirer’s inventory.

S. During the term of the Kytril Supply Period, should the amount of Granisetron available for Kytril production fall below 30 kilograms, or should Respondents fail to maintain a facility that is validated, qualified and approved by the FDA to manufacture Granisetron, the Commission may, in its sole discretion, require Respondents to divest the Zofran Assets; provided, however, that Respondents shall be allowed to demonstrate that such failure was entirely beyond the control of Respondents and in no part the result of negligence or willful misconduct by Respondents. If the Commission determines that the Zofran Assets are to be divested, the Commission may appoint a trustee to divest the Zofran Assets. T. The purpose of the divestiture of the Kytril Assets is to ensure the continued use of the Kytril Assets in the same business in which the Kytril Assets were engaged at the time of the announcement of the Merger, and to remedy the lessening of competition resulting from the Merger as alleged in the Commission's complaint.

Il.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

If Respondents do not divest the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Assets to Novartis within ten (10) Business Days after the Merger is consummated, the Commission may appoint a trustee to divest the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Assets, together. Provided, however, that if Respondents have divested the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Assets to Novartis prior to the date this Order becomes final, and if, at the time the Commission determines to make this Order final, the Commission notifies Respondents that Novartis is not an acceptable purchaser of the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Assets or that the manner in which the divestiture was accomplished is not acceptable, then Respondents shall immediately rescind the transaction with Novartis and the Commission may appoint a trustee to divest the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Assets, together, to a Commission-approved Acquirer. B. Failure to comply with all terms of the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Asset Sale Agreement or the Famciclovir and Penciclovir Supply Agreement, if approved by the Commission, shall constitute a failure to comply with this Order.

The Divestiture Agreement shall be consistent with the obligations assumed by Respondents under this Order. This obligation shall not require Respondents to be liable for any negligent act or omission of the Commissionapproved Acquirer or for any representations and watranties, express or implied, made by the Commissionapproved Acquirer that exceed the representations and watranties made by the Respondents to the Commissionapproved Acquirer.

H. During the Access Period, Respondents shall not interfere with the hiring or employing by the Commission-approved Acquirer of Famciclovir and Penciclovir Key Employees or Famciclovir and Penciclovir Sales Employees, and shall remove any impediments that may deter these employees from accepting employment with the Commission-approved Acquirer, including, but not limited to, any non-compete provisions of employment or other contracts with Respondents that would affect the ability or incentive of those individuals to be employed by the Commission-approved Acquirer. In addition, Respondents shall not make any counteroffer to any Famciclovir and Penciclovir Sales Employee or any Famciclovir and Penciclovir Key Employee who receives a written offer of employment from the Commission-approved Acquirer.

Respondents shall pay for the cost of a third-party consultant hired by the Commission-approved Acquirer to supervise such efforts as well as any costs incurred by the Commissionapproved Acquirer as a result of the inability of the Designee of the Commission-approved Acquirer to supply Tazicef to the Commission-approved Acquirer that is not otherwise assumed by the Designee.

VOLUME 131 Analysis Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to Aid Public Comment Issued when the Commission tentatively approved a proposed consent order on December 15, 2001 The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a proposed Consent Order from Glaxo Wellcome plc (“Glaxo”’) and Smithkline Beecham plc (“SB”) which is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects of the merger of Glaxo and SB. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies would be required to: (1) divest all of SB’s worldwide rights and intellectual property relating to its antiemetic drug, Kytril, to F. Hoffman LaRoche; (2) divest SB’s intellectual property rights to manufacture and market ceftazidime to Abbott Laboratories; (3) divest SB’s worldwide rights and intellectual property relating to its antiviral drugs, Famvir and Denavir, including the rights to the base active ingredients, penciclovir and famciclovir, to Novartis Pharm AG and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation; (4) return to Cantab Pharmaceuticals plc all rights to use Cantab’s DISC technology for the development of a prophylactic herpes vaccine; (5) divest Glaxo’s U.S. and Canadian Zantac trademark rights to Pfizer (formerly Warner-Lambert) and thereby remove restrictions on the ability of Pfizer’s Zantac 75 to compete in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) H-2 blocker acid relief market; (6) assign all of SB’s relevant intellectual property rights and relinquish all options to the drug renzapride, a drug to treat irritable bowel syndrome, to Alizyme plc; (7) assign all of Glaxo’s relevant intellectual property rights and relinquish all of Glaxo’s reversionary rights to GI147211C, a topoisomerase I inhibitor to treat certain types of cancer, to Gilead Sciences, Inc.; and (8) assign all of SB’s relevant intellectual property rights and relinquish all options to regain control over frovatriptan, a drug to treat migraine headaches, to Vernalis Ltd.

The proposed Consent Order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will VOLUME 131 Analysis decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement’s proposed Consent Order. Pursuant to a scheme of arrangement announced on January 17, 2000, Glaxo and SB propose to combine their two companies in a transaction valued at approximately $182 billion. Thereafter, the merged entity will be renamed Glaxo Smithkline ple. The proposed Complaint alleges that the proposed merger, if consummated, would constitute a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45, in the markets for the research, development, manufacture and sale of: (1) SHT-3 antiemetic drugs; (2) ceftazidime; (3) second generation oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of herpes virus infections; (4) prescription topical antiviral cremes for herpes labialis or oral herpes, commonly referred to as cold sores; (5) prophylactic herpes vaccines; (6) OTC H-2 blockers; (7) topoisomerase I inhibitors marketed or in development for the treatment of ovarian, non-small cell lung, colorectal and other solid tumor cancers; (8) drugs for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”’); and (9) triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches. The proposed Consent Order would remedy the alleged violations by replacing the lost competition that would result from the merger in each of these markets. 5HT-3 Antiemetic Drugs Antiemetic drugs are administered to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to prevent or lessen the nausea and vomiting associated with those medical procedures. 5HT-3 antiemetic products have revolutionized the treatment of patients with cancer because they are more effective than any of the older antiemetic products. Today, oncologists can pursue more aggressive chemotherapy and radiation regimens because patients are much less likely to experience debilitating nausea and vomiting, side effects that can curtail aggressive cancer treatment.

VOLUME 131 Analysis The United States market for 5HT-3 antiemetic drugs is highly concentrated. In the $778 million dollar SHT-3 antiemetic market, Glaxo markets Zofran and SB markets Kytril, which together represent approximately 90% of the market. Only one other firm, Aventis, markets a SHT-3 antiemetic product, called Anzemet.

Entry into the manufacture and sale of prescription pharmaceutical drugs is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. De novo entry for pharmaceutical products has been estimated to take between 12 to 24 years and cost upwards of $359 million. No other pharmaceutical company is expected to enter the United States market with a 5HT-3 antiemetic product in the foreseeable future.

The merger of SB and Glaxo would reduce the number of 5HT-3 antiemetic competitors from three to two; create a dominant firm with a greater than 90% share of the overall market; and leave Anzemet as the only remaining competitor against the combined Glaxo Smithkline. Currently, health care provider customers benefit enormously by competing Zofran and Kytril against one another to achieve favorable pricing. The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for 5HT-3 antiemetic drugs by requiring that: (1) SB divest all of its worldwide rights and intellectual property relating to Kytril (granisetron) to F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (“Roche”); (2) SB submit all confidential information and know-how regarding Kytril to Roche; (3) the former SB sales force and management who participated in the marketing of Kytril maintain the confidentiality of this information; and (4) the former SB sales and marketing personnel be prohibited from selling products that compete with Kytril, i.e., Zofran, for a period of six to twelve months (depending on the status of the employee). The Consent Agreement also requires SB to contract manufacture Kytril for Roche until Roche obtains approval from VOLUME 131 Analysis the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to manufacture Kytril for itself.

Second Generation Oral and Intravenous Antiviral Drugs for the Treatment of Herpes SB manufactures and markets Famvir, and Glaxo manufactures and markets Valtrex, the only two second generation oral and intravenous antiviral prescription drugs for the treatment of herpes infections. Due to their greater bioavailability, superior efficacy, and requirements for less frequent dosing, Famvir and Valtrex have a significant advantage in treating herpes simplex virus Type 1 (““HSV-1"), herpes simplex virus Type 2 (“HSV-2") and the herpes varicella zoster virus (“herpes zoster’’) over the firstgeneration drug acyclovir.

New entry into the manufacture and sale of second generation antiviral drugs for the treatment of HSV-1, HSV-2 and herpes zoster infection is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. SB and Glaxo are the only firms that have introduced second generation products to the market, and no other companies are developing drugs for these indications. Thus, given the amount of time it would take for a new product to obtain regulatory approval, entry cannot occur in a timely fashion to counter the anticipated anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger. The proposed merger of SB and Glaxo would eliminate the only competition that exists in the $500 million market for second generation prescription oral and intravenous antiviral drugs for the treatment of HSV-1, HSV-2, and herpes zoster. As a result of the proposed merger, American consumers are likely to pay higher prices for Valtrex and Famvir, and because SB and Glaxo offer the only second generation drugs available to treat HSV-1, HSV-2, and herpes zoster infections, the merger will result in a monopoly for an extended period, as there are no other drugs in research or development for these indications. VOLUME 131 Analysis The proposed divestiture to Novartis remedies the anticompetitive effects of the merger in both the oral and intravenous antiviral herpes infection treatment market as well as those in the topical oral herpes prescription creme market, which is discussed below. In the oral and intravenous herpes antiviral market, the divestiture resolves the anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger by requiring that: (1) SB divest all of its worldwide rights and intellectual property relating to Famvir, including rights to the base active ingredient famciclovir, to Novartis; (2) SB submit all confidential information and knowhow regarding Famvir to Novartis; (3) the former SB sales force and management who participated in the marketing of Famvir maintain the confidentiality of this information; and (4) the former SB sales and marketing personnel be prohibited from selling products that compete with Famvir, ie., Valtrex, for a period of six to twelve months (depending on the status of the employee). The Consent Agreement also requires SB to contract manufacture Famvir for Novartis until Novartis obtains FDA approval to manufacture Famvir for itself. Prescription Topical Antiviral Cremes for Oral Herpes SB’s Denavir is currently the only prescription topical antiviral medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of oral herpes infections, commonly called cold sores. Meanwhile, Glaxo’s Zovirex creme is the dominant prescription cold sore product in much of Europe. Glaxo was in the final stages of seeking FDA approval to market its creme formulation of Zovirex for the treatment of oral cold sores in the United States. But, in April of 2000, after the announcement of its proposed merger with SB, Glaxo withdrew the Zovirex creme application then pending at the FDA, but without prejudice to refiling. At the time, Glaxo was a little more than six months from bringing its Zovirex cream to the U.S. market to compete against Denavir. De novo entry into prescription topical antiviral cremes for the treatment of oral herpes is difficult, time-consuming, and VOLUME 131 Analysis expensive. No other companies are currently developing prescription topical medications for the treatment of cold sores. The proposed merger eliminates the only potential entrant into the market for prescription topical antiviral medications for the treatment of cold sores — the Zovirex creme which Glaxo was close to bringing to market. If SB and Glaxo merge, it is highly unlikely that the merged firm would bring the Zovirex cream to market to compete against Denavir.

As noted above, the proposed divestiture to Novartis remedies the anticompetitive effects of the merger in both the oral and intravenous antiviral herpes infection treatment market as well as those in the prescription topical oral herpes antiviral market. In the prescription topical oral herpes antiviral market, the divestiture resolves the anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger by requiring that: (1) SB divest all of its worldwide rights and intellectual property relating to Denavir, including rights to the base active ingredient penciclovir, to Novartis; (2) SB submit all confidential information and know-how regarding Denavir to Novartis; (3) the former SB sales force and management who participated in the marketing of Denavir maintain the confidentiality of this information; and (4) the former SB sales and marketing personnel be prohibited from selling products that compete with Denavir, i.e., topical Zovirex cream, for a period of six to twelve months (depending on the status of the employee). The Consent Agreement also requires SB to contract manufacture Denavir for Novartis until Novartis obtains FDA approval to manufacture Denavir for itself. Ceftazidime Ceftazidime is an injectable antibiotic administered to hospitalized patients who are critically ill and at risk of contracting, and possibly dying from, pseudomonas infection, a serious hospital-borne infection. Ceftazidime is considered the “gold standard” for treating patients who are either at risk of VOLUME 131 Analysis contracting pseudomonas or who have such infections. Ceftazidime is a third-generation of a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins and is considered a “broad spectrum” antibiotic effective at treating a broad range of hospital-borne infection. Nearly all hospitals in the U.S. have ceftazidime on their formularies for use in combating pseudomonas infections. Last year, sales of all ceftazidime products were approximately $82 million dollars in the U.S. Currently, only two firms, SB and Glaxo, manufacture ceftazidime. Three firms market ceftazidime products: Glaxo manufactures and markets Fortaz and Ceptaz; Lilly markets Tazidime, which is manufactured by SB; and Abbott Labs markets SB’s Tazicef brand in the U.S. In 1999, sales of Glaxo’s Fortaz and Ceptaz and of SB’s Tazicef amounted to 85% of the market.

There are significant barriers to entry into the manufacture and sale of ceftazidime. The production of ceftazidime requires an aseptic facility for both the manufacture and sterile filling processes, greatly increasing the costs and complexities of manufacturing the product. Building and obtaining FDA approval for this type of facility takes much longer than two years, and patents covering the manufacture of ceftazidime that do not expire for a number of years prevent generic production of ceftazidime at this time.

The proposed merger of Glaxo and SB would create a monopoly in the manufacture of ceftazidime and would reduce the number of firms marketing ceftazidime from three to two. Glaxo Smithkline would not likely continue its relationship with Abbott as a marketer, removing a competing marketer of branded ceftazidime. Lilly, the only other competitor to Glaxo Smithkline, would be dependent on Glaxo Smithkline for its supply. The presence of three ceftazidime competitors in the market allows customers to negotiate more favorable pricing than would be possible with only two firms. Consequently, after the merger, customers’ ability to negotiate lower prices for ceftazidime would diminish, likely resulting in higher prices. VOLUME 131 Analysis The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for ceftazidime by requiring: (1) SB to provide all necessary intellectual property rights to manufacture and market ceftazidime to Abbott Laboratories, and (2) the creation of a new stream of supply for ceftazidime to Abbott that is independent of SB. Thereby, the Consent Agreement replaces SB’s manufacturing and marketing rights and capabilities in the United States ceftazidime market. Prophylactic Herpes Vaccines The evidence shows that the development of prophylactic vaccines to prevent infection by HSV-1 and HSV-2 is a relevant product market. Currently, no vaccines exist for the prevention of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection, but SB and Glaxo are two of very few firms developing prophylactic vaccines to prevent herpes infections.

SB is one of the world’s three leading vaccine suppliers, and currently, SB has the most advanced development effort toward a prophylactic herpes vaccine. Glaxo is relatively new in the vaccine area, but has a significant effort underway to develop vaccines against genital herpes. Glaxo has been developing a vaccine for genital HSV infection using the Disabled Infectious Single Cycle (‘DISC’) technology developed by Cantab Pharmaceuticals. With Cantab, Glaxo is currently pursuing a therapeutic indication, and had planned to begin work with Cantab designing Phase III clinical trials on a prophylactic indication this year, exercising its option to do so pursuant to its contract with Cantab.

New entry into the research, development, manufacture and sale of vaccines to prevent HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection is extremely difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Development of vaccines for other diseases have generally taken more than a decade and the time frames for vaccine development tend to be longer than those for prescription drugs. Other firms VOLUME 131 Analysis that have undertaken efforts to develop a prophylactic herpes vaccine either have failed in their efforts or are far behind SB and Glaxo/Cantab.

The merger is likely to chill certain innovations in a very complex area as a combined Glaxo Smithkline would potentially forego the development efforts of one of the firms. Even if both products were developed, the merger would eliminate future price competition between the two prophylactic vaccines. The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for prophylactic vaccines for the prevention of infection by HSV-1 and HSV-2 by requiring Glaxo to return to Cantab all rights and information and results from clinical trials that are necessary for Cantab to develop a prophylactic herpes vaccine. This will permit Cantab to pursue a prophylactic indication for the vaccine developed by the joint venture, and, should that effort be unsuccessful, to develop a different prophylactic herpes vaccine using its DISC technology. OTC H-2 Blockers Histamine-2 blockers, more commonly known as “H-2 blockers,” are a class of drugs available over-the-counter (“OTC’’) for acid relief. H-2 blocker products originated as prescription products and were later approved by the FDA for OTC sale. As their name implies, H-2 blockers work by blocking histamine (acid) production, acting in essence like corks to prevent the release of stomach acid.

Today, the $502 million OTC H-2 blocker market is comprised of four branded products - SB’s Tagamet, Glaxo’s Zantac 75 (marketed by Pfizer, formerly Warner-Lambert), Johnson & Johnson’s Pepcid AC and Whitehall-Robin’s Axid, along with private label equivalents of Tagamet, Zantac 75, and Pepcid AC. SB’s Tagamet and Glaxo’s Zantac 75 have a combined market share of approximately 41%.

VOLUME 131 Analysis Entry into the OTC H-2 blocker acid relief market is timeconsuming, difficult, and expensive. New products take several years to develop; each must be approved by the FDA for OTC sale, or alternatively, approved to switch from prescription to OTC status; and furthermore, expensive advertising and promotion is required to establish a brand name in the OTC market. Currently, no additional H-2 blockers are expected to enter the OTC market.

The merger of SB and Glaxo is likely to lessen the competitiveness of Zantac 75 in the OTC market where it is marketed by Pfizer. Currently, the trademark license under which Pfizer sells Zantac 75 requires the approval of Glaxo for any product or trademark changes or improvements. Prior to the merger, as licensor to Pfizer, Glaxo had the incentive to approve changes or improvements that would enhance the competitiveness of Zantac 75 in the OTC H-2 blocker market. But after the merger, it is likely that Glaxo Smithkline will be less inclined to approve changes to enhance the competitiveness of Zantac 75, an OTC H-2 rival to its Tagamet. Furthermore, Pfizer would be in the difficult position of having to ask its close rival for permission to make product improvements, thereby exposing its future competitive strategy, which the rival might preemptively counter. Such a situation could prevent or discourage Pfizer from pursuing such competitive product improvements, as Glaxo Smithkline would be provided with direct access to competitive intelligence on a product that competes directly against its own. The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for OTC H-2 blockers by: (1) requiring Glaxo to divest all of its U.S. and Canadian trademark rights to Zantac to Pfizer; (2) removing all requirements on Pfizer to seek prior approval from Glaxo for any product line extensions; (3) removing all restrictions on Pfizer’s ability to seek FDA approval of higher OTC dosage strengths for Zantac; (4) reducing the cost to Pfizer if a higher dosage strength is approved by the FDA for the OTC market to a payment not to exceed $3 million; and (5) allowing Pfizer to use any FDA VOLUME 131 Analysis approved form of the base active, ranitidine, in Zantac products. In the United States and Canada, Glaxo only retains the exclusive use of the Zantac name for prescription products that contain ranitidine. This gives Pfizer the unrestricted ability to market the OTC Zantac products, improve those products, and use the Zantac trademarks unfettered, which will allow Pfizer to compete vigorously and effectively in the OTC H-2 blocker market. Topoisomerase I Inhibitors for the Treatment of Ovarian, non-SCLC, Colorectal, and other Solid Tumor Cancers SB’s drug Hycamptin is currently a leading therapy for ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer (“non-SCLC’), and SB is pursuing indications for these cancers as well as a second-line indication for treating colorectal and other solid-tumor cancers. Gilead Sciences, in conjunction with Glaxo, is developing a topoisomerase I inhibitor, GI14722C, that is being developed for ovarian, breast, non-SCLC, and other solid tumor indications, including colorectal cancer. The only other topoisomerase I inhibitor on the market is Pharmacia’s Camptosar, which is indicated as a second-line treatment for colorectal cancer, and is being tested for non-SCLC.

The proposed merger is likely to create anticompetitive effects in the topoisomerase I inhibitor market by potentially eliminating one of the few research and development efforts in this area. As a result of the merger, the combined entity could unilaterally delay, terminate or otherwise fail to develop the GI147211C topoisomerase I inhibitor, resulting in less product innovation, fewer choices, and higher prices for consumers. The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for topoisomerase I inhibitors for the treatment of certain cancers by requiring Glaxo to assign all relevant GI147211C intellectual property to Gilead and to relinquish its reversionary rights to Gilead’s drug. Thus, the Consent Agreement eliminates Glaxo’s ability to regain VOLUME 131 Analysis control over GI147211C, a drug likely to compete against SB’s Hycamptin in combating ovarian, non-SCLC, colorectal, and other solid tumor cancers.

Drugs for the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”) is not well understood and often has been labeled as several different conditions, including irritable colon and spastic colon. People with IBS experience varying symptoms, with some sufferers experiencing symptoms of diarrhea, others constipation, and still others a mix of both. The symptoms of IBS may include cramping, abdominal pain and other forms of abdominal discomfort. Seventy percent of IBS sufferers are women. IBS is estimated to affect up to 15% of the U.S. population.

Glaxo currently owns a drug called Lotronex for the treatment of IBS. Though effective in treating IBS sufferers, Lotronex was recently taken off the market by Glaxo because of concerns about serious side effects in some patients, but Glaxo continues to conduct clinical trials for Lotronex. Lotronex is the only FDAapproved drug for the treatment of IBS. SB currently does not have a drug in this market, but has an option to acquire and market renzapride, a drug being developed by Alizyme Therapeutics plc for the treatment of IBS. Alizyme’s renzapride drug is about 2-3 years from being on the market. In addition to the Alizyme/SB renzapride development effort, only two other drugs for IBS are in clinical development; thus, timely entry will not occur to deter or counteract the likely anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger.

The proposed merger likely would eliminate one of the few research and development efforts on drugs to treat IBS. Asa result of the merger, Glaxo Smithkline would likely delay, terminate or otherwise fail to develop renzapride which would compete against Lotronex, resulting in less product innovation, and consequently, fewer product choices, and higher prices for consumers.

VOLUME 131 Analysis The Consent Agreement effectively remedies the anticompetitive effects in the market for drugs to treat IBS by requiring SB to assign all relevant intellectual property rights to Alizyme and to relinquish all options in renzapride, thus removing any possible influence over Alizyme’s development of an IBS drug that is likely to compete directly against Glaxo’s Lotronex. Triptan Drugs for the Treatment of Migraine Headaches Glaxo is the leading seller of triptan drugs for the treatment of migraine headaches with its two triptan migraine drugs — Immitrex (sumatriptan succinate) and Amerge (naratriptan hydrochloride). SB has a reversionary interest in another triptan drug for migraines — SB209509 (frovatriptan) — which is being developed by Vernalis Ltd. The only other approved migraine drugs in the triptan class are Maxalt (rizatriptan benzoate) from Merck and Zomig (zolmitriptan) from Astra Zeneca. Vernalis expects to submit final data to the FDA by the end of 2000, and hopes to launch its frovatriptan drug in the second half of 2001. In addition to the SB/Vernalis frovatriptan effort, only two other triptan drugs for migraine are in clinical development and are well behind the SB/Vernalis efforts. Thus, timely entry will not occur to deter or counteract the likely anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger.

The proposed merger likely would eliminate one of the few research and development efforts on triptan drugs to treat migraines. As a result of the merger, Glaxo Smithkline would likely delay, terminate or otherwise fail to develop frovatriptan which would compete against Glaxo’s Immitrex and Amerge, resulting in less product innovation, and consequently, fewer product choices and higher prices for consumers. To resolve the merger’s anticompetitive effects in this market, SB renegotiated its agreement with Vernalis, assigning all relevant intellectual property to Vernalis and relinquishing its options in VOLUME 131 Analysis frovatriptan, which likely will compete directly against Glaxo’s Immitrex and Amerge.

The Consent Agreement also allows the Commission to appoint a Monitor Trustee to ensure Glaxo SmithKline’s compliance with all of the requirements of the Order. In addition, the Commission may appoint a Divestiture Trustee in the event that Glaxo Smithkline fails to divest all of the assets required to be divested. Finally, the Consent Agreement imposes reporting requirements on Glaxo Smithkline until such time as it has fully complied with all of the provisions of the Order. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed Consent Order, and it is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the proposed Consent Order or to modify its terms in any way.
