IN THE MATTER OF PFIZER INC., UPJOHN INC., VIATRIS INC., MYLAN N.V., AND UTAH ACQUISITION SUB INC.

CONSENT ORDER, ETC. IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT AND SECTION 7 OF THE CLAYTON ACT Docket No. C-4727; File No. 191 0182 Complaint, October 30, 2020 – Decision, January 25, 2021 This consent order addresses the combination of certain assets of Pfizer Inc. and Mylan N.V. to form Viatris Inc. The complaint alleges that the Combination, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act by lessening current competition in the markets for: (1) amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets, (2) eplerenone tablets, (3) gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution, (4) medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable solution, (5) phenytoin chewable tablets, (6) prazosin hydrochloride (“HCl”) capsules, and (7) spironolactone hydrochlorothiazide (“HCTZ”) tablets in the United States. The complaint also alleges that the Combination would violate the aforementioned statutes by lessening future competition in the markets for: (1) levothyroxine sodium tablets, (2) sucralfate tablets, and (3) varenicline tartrate tablets. The consent order requires the parties to divest Upjohn’s generic drug rights and assets related to six products and Mylan’s rights and assets related to eplerenone tablets to Prasco, LLC. The consent order also requires prior Commission approval before Upjohn, Mylan, or Viatris may gain an interest in or exercise control over any third party’s rights to (1) levothyroxine sodium tablets, (2) sucralfate tablets, and (3) varenicline tartrate tablets. Participants For the Commission: Jasmine Y. Rosner, Danielle Sims and David von Nirschl. For the Respondents: Harry T. Robins and Scott Stempel, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP; Maggie D’Amico, Yonatan Even, and Christine Varney, Cravath, Swain & Moore LLP; Logan Breed, Chuck Loughlin, and Edith Ramirez, Hogan Lovells U.S. LLP. COMPLAINT Pursuant to the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”), and its authority thereunder, the Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”), having reason to believe that Respondent Pfizer Inc. proposes to combine certain of its assets and liabilities, including Respondent Upjohn Inc. and Respondent Utah Acquisition Sub Inc., with Respondent Mylan N.V. to form Respondent Viatris Inc., all Respondents being corporations subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission, in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45, and that such combination, if consummated, would violate 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, and it PFIZER INC. 77 Complaint appearing to the Commission that a proceeding in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues its Complaint, stating its charges as follows: I. RESPONDENTS 1. Respondent Pfizer Inc. is a corporation organized, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware with its executive offices and principal place of business located at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017. 2. Respondent Upjohn Inc. is a corporation organized, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware with its executive offices and principal place of business located at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017. Upjohn houses Pfizer’s authorized generic distributor, Greenstone LLC. After the proposed transaction, Upjohn Inc. is to be renamed Viatris Inc.

3. Respondent Viatris Inc. is or will be a successor corporation of Upjohn Inc. Viatris is or will be a corporation organized, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware with its executive offices and principal place of business located at 1000 Mylan Boulevard, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317. 4. Respondent Mylan N.V. is a public limited liability company organized, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with its executive offices and principal place of business located at Building 4, Trident Place, Mosquito Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, ALLO 9UL, England. Mylan N.V. includes Mylan I B.V. and Mylan II B.V (collectively, “Respondent Mylan”). Mylan N.V.’s United States address for service of process is Mylan Inc., 1000 Mylan Boulevard, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317. 5. Respondent Utah Acquisition Sub Inc. is a corporation organized, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware with its executive offices and principal place of business located at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017. 6. Each Respondent is, and at all times relevant herein has been or will be, engaged in commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 1 of the Clayton Act as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 12, and engages in business that is in or affects commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 4 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 44.

II. THE PROPOSED COMBINATION 7. Pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between Pfizer Inc. and Upjohn Inc., dated July 29, 2019, and the Business Combination Agreement by and among Pfizer Inc., Upjohn Inc., Utah Acquisition Sub Inc., Mylan N.V., Mylan I B.V., and Mylan II B.V., dated July 29, 2019 (collectively, the “Agreements”), Respondent Pfizer will combine certain of its assets and liabilities with Respondent Mylan to form Respondent Viatris (the “Combination”). Respondent Pfizer will receive $12 billion in cash from Viatris as partial consideration in connection with the Combination, and Respondent Pfizer’s shareholders will VOLUME 171 Complaint gain an interest in Respondent Viatris. The Combination is subject to Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18.

III. THE RELEVANT MARKETS 8. The relevant lines of commerce in which to analyze the effects of the Combination are the development, license, manufacture, marketing, distribution, and sale of the following generic pharmaceutical products:

a. Amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets; b. Eplerenone tablets;

c. Gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution;

d. Levothyroxine sodium tablets;

e. Medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable solution; f. Phenytoin chewable tablets;

g. Prazosin hydrochloride capsules;

h. Spironolactone hydrochlorothiazide tablets;

i. Sucralfate tablets; and j. Varenicline tartrate tablets.

9. The United States is the relevant geographic area in which to assess the competitive effects of the Combination in the relevant lines of commerce. IV. THE STRUCTURE OF THE MARKETS 10. Amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets combine a calcium channel blocker to treat hypertension with a lipid-lowering agent to treat high cholesterol. Only four companies sell generic amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets: Greenstone, Mylan, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., and Apotex Inc. The Combination will reduce the number of current suppliers from four to three. In all eleven strengths of amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets, Greenstone and Mylan account for greater than 30 percent of the market combined. 11. Eplerenone is a diuretic that is prescribed as an adjunctive therapy when treating hypertension or congestive heart failure after a heart attack. Significant sellers of eplerenone include Greenstone, Mylan, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Accord Healthcare Inc. In both the 25mg and 50mg strengths, the Combination would reduce the number of significant suppliers and result in the combined entity accounting for approximately 50 percent of eplerenone tablets sold.

PFIZER INC. 79 Complaint 12. Gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution is an eye drop that treats bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible strains of certain bacteria. The market for gatifloxacin has faced historical supply disruptions. Five companies supply this product today: Greenstone, Mylan, Sandoz International Gmbh, Akorn, Inc., and Lupin Ltd. Together, Greenstone and Mylan account for more than 60 percent of gatifloxacin sales.

13. Levothyroxine sodium tablets are offered in a host of strengths and are prescribed to treat hypothyroidism or as an adjunct therapy for patients undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. Suppliers for levothyroxine sodium tablets vary by strength. Should Upjohn or Greenstone launch an authorized generic of Pfizer’s levothyroxine sodium branded product (Levoxyl®), the Combination would likely allow the combined entity to reduce the number of independent suppliers of some strengths of generic levothyroxine sodium tablets from three to two.

14. Medroxyprogesterone acetate is an injectable solution used to treat certain types of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Injectable products, such as medroxyprogesterone acetate, often experience shortages and supply disruptions. Greenstone, Mylan, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. currently supply medroxyprogesterone acetate. Combined, Greenstone and Mylan account for more than 50 percent of the market.

15. Phenytoin chewable tablets are an anti-epileptic drug that slows down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Only three suppliers provide phenytoin chewable tablets today: Greenstone, Mylan, and Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. The Combination would reduce the number of available suppliers and result in Greenstone and Mylan accounting for more than 40 percent of phenytoin chewable tablets sold.

16. Prazosin hydrochloride (HCl) capsules are an alpha-adrenergic blocker that treats hypertension by relaxing the veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass. The market for prazosin HCl capsules is supplied by four companies: Greenstone, Mylan, Teva, and Novitium Pharma LLC. Across the three strengths of prazosin HCl available today, the Combination would reduce the number of available suppliers and result in the combined entity accounting for approximately half of prazosin HCl capsules sold. 17. Spironolactone hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) tablets are a diuretic used to treat hypertension. Only three suppliers provide spironolactone HCTZ tablets: Greenstone, Mylan, and Sun. The Combination would reduce the number of suppliers from three to two and result in Greenstone and Mylan accounting for more than 30 percent of the market. 18. Sucralfate tablets are used to treat and prevent ulcers in the small intestines. Prior to the proposed Combination, only three companies sold sucralfate tablets historically: Greenstone, Mylan, and Teva. While Mylan has stopped selling sucralfate recently, the proposed Combination likely alters Mylan’s incentives to relaunch sucralfate tablets and would reduce the number of firms capable of selling sucralfate tablets from three to two. VOLUME 171 Complaint 19. Varenicline tartrate tablets are a smoking cessation aid offered under Pfizer’s brand Chantix®. Currently, only branded Chantix® is available in the market. Mylan is one of a limited number of companies likely to share the Hatch-Waxman 180-day exclusivity period when the generic market forms. Should Upjohn or Greenstone launch an authorized generic of Pfizer’s Chantix®, the Combination would likely allow the combined entity to reduce the small number of independent suppliers that would have sold generic varenicline tartrate tablets during the Hatch-Waxman exclusivity period absent the Combination. V. ENTRY CONDITIONS 20. Entry into the relevant markets described in Paragraphs 10-19 would not be timely, likely, or sufficient in magnitude, character, and scope to deter or counteract the anticompetitive effects of the Combination. De novo entry would not take place in a timely manner because the combination of drug development times and FDA approval requirements would be lengthy. In addition, no other entry is likely to occur such that it would be timely and sufficient to deter or counteract the competitive harm likely to result from the Combination. VI. EFFECTS OF THE COMBINATION 21. The effects of the Combination, if consummated, may be to substantially lessen competition 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 eliminating actual, direct, and substantial competition between Upjohn and Greenstone and Mylan and reducing the number of independent significant competitors in the markets for: (1) generic amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets; (2) generic eplerenone tablets; (3) generic gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution; (4) generic medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable solution; (5) generic phenytoin chewable tablets; (6) generic prazosin HCl capsules; and (7) generic spironolactone HCTZ tablets, thereby increasing the likelihood that: (a) Viatris would be able to unilaterally exercise market power in these markets; (b) the remaining competitors would engage in coordinated interaction between or among each other; and (c) customers would be forced to pay higher prices; and b. by eliminating future competition between (1) Upjohn and Greenstone and (2) Mylan in the market for generic levothyroxine sodium tablets, generic sucralfate tablets, and generic varenicline tartrate tablets, thereby (a) increasing the likelihood that the combined entity would forego or delay relaunching this product, and (b) increasing the likelihood that the combined entity would delay, eliminate, or otherwise reduce the substantial additional price competition that would have resulted from an additional supplier of this product.

PFIZER INC. 81 Order to Maintain Assets VII. VIOLATIONS CHARGED 22. The Combination described in Paragraph 7 constitutes a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45.

23. The Combination described in Paragraph 7, 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.

5. A list of all of the NDC Numbers related to the specified Divestiture Product, and rights, to the extent permitted by law, to control, prohibit, or otherwise limit the use, including the use in Customer cross-referencing, of such NDC numbers by the Respondents, unless that Divestiture Product has not been marketed or sold in the United States prior to the Divestiture Date; and 6. The quantity and delivery terms in all unfilled Customer purchase orders for the relevant Divestiture Product as of the Divestiture Date. H. Respondents shall not join, file, prosecute, or maintain any suit, in law or equity, against the Product Releasees under any Patent that was pending or issued on or before the Acquisition Date if such suit would limit or impair the Acquirer’s freedom to research and Develop, or manufacture anywhere in the world the Divestiture Product(s), or to distribute, market, sell, or offer for sale within the United States any such Divestiture Product.

I. Upon reasonable written request from the Acquirer to a Respondent, that Respondent shall provide, in a timely manner, assistance of knowledgeable employees of that Respondent (i.e., employees of that Respondent that were involved in the Development of the Divestiture Products) to assist that Acquirer to defend against, respond to, or otherwise participate in any litigation brought by a third party related to the Product Intellectual Property for the Divestiture Products acquired by that Acquirer from a Respondent.

E. The Respondents shall agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Acquirer for any liabilities, loss of profits, or consequential damages resulting from the failure of the Respondents to deliver the Supplied Products to the Acquirer in a timely manner unless (i) Respondents can demonstrate that the failure was beyond the control of Respondents and in no part the result of negligence or willful misconduct by Respondents, and (ii) Respondents are able to cure the supply failure no later than 30 days after the receipt of notice from that Acquirer of a supply failure.

F. The Respondents shall give priority to supplying the Acquirer over the supplying of Products for any Respondent’s own use or sale.

G.

H. The Respondents shall provide the Acquirer with the actual costs incurred or the price paid for active ingredients, components, and excipients the Respondents use to manufacture the applicable Supplied Products.

I. During the term of any agreement for a Respondent to supply the Supplied Products, Respondents shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure an uninterrupted supply of each of the Supplied Products. J. Respondents shall not be entitled to terminate any agreement to supply the Supplied Products due to (i) a breach by the Acquirer of a Divestiture Agreement, or (ii) that Acquirer filing a petition in bankruptcy, or entering into an agreement with its creditors, or applying for or consenting to appointment of a receiver or trustee, or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becoming subject to involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; provided, however, that this Paragraph shall not prohibit a Respondent from seeking compensatory damages from the Acquirer for that Acquirer’s breach of its payment obligations to the Respondent under the agreement. VOLUME 171 Order to Maintain Assets K. The Respondents shall permit the Acquirer to terminate the agreement for the supply of the Supplied Products on a product-by-product basis, at any time, upon commercially reasonable notice, and without cost or penalty (other than costs or penalties due by the Respondent to third parties pursuant to the termination of such agreement, which may be the responsibility of that Acquirer). L. In the event that that a Respondent becomes (i) unable to supply or produce a Supplied Product from the facility that has been supplying the Acquirer, and (ii) any Respondent has a different facility that is listed on the FDA Authorization for that Supplied Product and is still suitable for use to manufacture the Supplied Product, or any Respondent has a facility that manufactures the Therapeutic Equivalent of such Supplied Product, then such Respondent shall, at the option of the supplied Acquirer, provide a supply of either the Therapeutic Equivalent or the Supplied Product from the other facility under the same terms and conditions as contained in the Divestiture Agreement to supply.

M. During the term of any agreement for a Respondent to supply the Supplied Products, the Respondents shall provide consultation with knowledgeable employees of Respondents and training, at the written request of the supplied Acquirer and at a facility chosen by the supplied Acquirer, for the purposes of enabling that Acquirer (or its Manufacturing Designee) to obtain all Product Approvals to manufacture the applicable Supplied Products in final form in the same quality achieved by, or on behalf of, Respondents and in commercial quantities, in a manner consistent with cGMP, independently of Respondents and sufficient to satisfy management of that Acquirer that its personnel (or its Manufacturing Designee’s personnel) are adequately trained in the manufacture of the applicable Supplied Products.

N. For any Supplied Product that, after the Acquisition Date, is made in a facility owned by Respondent Upjohn or Respondent Viatris, Respondents shall transfer such manufacturing to a facility owned, controlled, or operated by Respondent Pfizer or, at the option of the Acquirer, to its Manufacturing Designee. Respondents shall bear all costs for this transfer including the cost to validate the Supplied Products at the changed facility and the costs for any changes in the specifications for any Supplied Product required by the FDA prior to the FDA’s granting approval to market such Product from the changed site of manufacture. O.

[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank.] ll VOLUME 171 Decision and Order PFIZER INC. 171 Decision and Order Confidential Appendix A VOLUME 171 Concurring Statement STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER CHRISTINE S. WILSON Today, the Commission announces that it has voted 3-2 to issue a complaint and accept a settlement to remedy the threats to competition arising from Mylan’s proposed acquisition of Pfizer’s off-patent drug business.

The experienced staff of the Federal Trade Commission thoroughly investigated all cognizable theories of harm to competition during more than a year of review. Their extensive investigation put to rest some concerns and produced grounds for other concerns. Staff negotiated comprehensive remedies to address the potential anticompetitive effects identified during their exhaustive investigation – as they have done in many transactions in the pharmaceutical sector, including Bristol-Myers Squibb/Celgene and Abbvie/Allergan. Yet, as Commissioners Slaughter and Chopra did in those merger reviews, they are again opposing the settlement of this enforcement action.

Prices for pharmaceuticals and biologics deserve the attention of the American public and the federal government. As I stated in connection with the announcement of the FTC’s settlement with Bristol-Myers and Celgene, within its limited civil authority as a competition agency, the Commission vigorously pursues a comprehensive agenda to address anticompetitive mergers and unlawful conduct in the pharmaceutical industry.1 I continue to encourage those government entities with the appropriate mandates to fix the many problems in this sector that lie beyond our jurisdiction.

1 Statement of Commissioner Christine S. Wilson, In the Matter of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company / Celgene Corporation, File No. 191-0061, Nov. 15, 2019, available at https://www ftc.gov/system/files/documents/ public statements/1554278/bms-celgene - wilson statement.pdf. PFIZER INC. 173 Dissenting Statement STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROHIT CHOPRA JOINED BY COMMISSIONER REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER Summary • The FTC’s record when it comes to reviewing pharmaceutical mergers suggests that the agency will simply never seek to block a merger. Instead, the agency’s approach is to strike narrow settlements. This encourages market actors to propose even more unlawful mergers.

• Both Pfizer and Mylan have been accused of collusion in the generic drug business. We must assess whether this merger will enhance their ability to conspire and collude. • Rajiv Malik, who will be president of the merged entity, is currently a defendant charged with antitrust misconduct. The Commission’s silence about his role is deeply problematic.

Drug prices are out of control, and in too many instances, are out of reach for patients who depend on them. Competition from generic drugs pushes down high prices. That’s why it’s critical to combat abuse of intellectual property that allows branded drug makers to block generic entry. But we should also be deeply concerned that patients can’t reap the full benefits from generic competition, given the alleged collusion in the generic drug industry to drive up prices. Any investigation of massive mergers in the generic business must take this into account. Today, the Federal Trade Commission has voted to settle allegations that Mylan’s (NASDAQ: MYL) proposed $12 billion acquisition of Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) generic drug business is unlawful.1 The combined firm would become the largest generic pharmaceutical firm in the world and offer approximately 3,000 drug products that treat a broad range of diseases and conditions.2 The FTC’s proposed settlement requires divestiture of seven individual products, as well as other provisions.

When it comes to pharmaceutical mergers, I am unable to identify a single instance in recent history where the agency has filed a complaint in federal court seeking to halt a prescription drug company merger. This lack of litigation creates the strong impression that the FTC simply looks to strike settlement deals involving individual product divestitures.

I respectfully disagree with the status quo approach the Commission applied to this pharmaceutical merger. The use here is especially concerning, since both firms and two of Mylan’s top executives have been accused of a wide-ranging price fixing and market allocation conspiracy in the generic drug industry.3 With an expanded empire of generic drug products, these alleged antitrust crimes may be even easier to perpetrate by the new entity.4 In this statement, I focus on how mergers involving companies competing across a large number of product lines can exacerbate the risk of collusive conspiracies, particularly in industries where middlemen may not have an incentive to keep prices low.5 I also focus on issues we must always confront. For example, the Commission should always look to testimony from top executives at companies proposing to merge in order to fully understand the range of potential effects on competition. The Commission can only make a conclusion about the risk of collusion and any impacts on competition when it has a full range of data and evidence. Conditions for Collusion When competitors enter into agreements to fix prices, rig bids, and divvy up markets, they can face civil and criminal charges. Pfizer and Mylan are defendants in several state attorneys general and private plaintiff lawsuits alleging market allocation and price fixing in the generic drug industry.6 They are also under investigation for criminal market allocation and price fixing by the Department of Justice.7 Over thirty additional generic drug companies are defendants in the same state attorneys general suits, including well-known drug firms Sandoz, Actavis, Teva, and Allergan, among others. Patients have allegedly paid many billions of dollars 3 See Compl., Connecticut v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., Case No. 3:19-cv-00710 (D. Conn. filed May 10, 2019) ¶ 50; In re Generic Pharms. Pricing Antitrust Litig. ¶ 34, Civ. Action No. 17-3768 (E.D. Pa. filed June 15, 2018). 4 The Department of Justice also charged Teva with criminally conspiring to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate customers for generic drugs. Five previous corporate cases were resolved by deferred prosecution agreements; Teva and its co-conspirator Glenmark are awaiting trial. Four executives have also been charged; three have entered guilty pleas, and one is awaiting trial. See Press Release, Dept. of Just., Seventh Generic Drug Manufacturer Is Charged In Ongoing Criminal Antitrust Investigation (Aug. 25, 2020), https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/seventh-generic-drug­ manufacturer-charged-ongoing-criminal-antitrust-investigation. 5 Most generic drugs are sold by their manufacturers to group purchasing organizations and large retail purchasers, who negotiate pricing contracts for their members that ultimately purchase the products. These contracts typically have inflation-based provisions that allow for potentially greater compensation when prices are higher. See In re Generic Pharms. Pricing Antitrust Litig. ¶ 74.

PFIZER INC. 175 Dissenting Statement in overcharges for the generic drugs involved, causing a significant negative impact on our national health and economy.8 Typically, collusion is easier to pull off when a market has only a few big players, since coordination is more difficult with more actors.9 However, there are many generic drug companies that operate in the United States. So why might there be widespread misconduct? One potential explanation is that these companies compete with each other in multiple different product markets. The enormous profit potential for these firms from collusion likely contributes to their incentives to engage in mutually beneficial coordination. By trading favorable competitive terms in one market for favorable competitive terms in another market, it may be easier for competing firms to reach mutually beneficial terms of trade and punish each other for any deviations.10 Pfizer and Mylan allegedly did just that.11 In addition to colluding within individual generic drug product markets, Pfizer’s Greenstone division, Mylan, and others are charged with trading customers across different drug markets.12 They allegedly allowed price increases on generic drugs without competing, based on a quid pro quo from competitors on different drug products.13 Given these allegations, it is important that we closely investigate how this transaction could increase the ability of the merged entity to engage in similar – or even more harmful – collusive conduct.

For example, the merged entity would become the top supplier of generic drugs by global revenues, with an enormous number of products and a broad range of competitors with which to engage in quid pro quo collusive arrangements.14 With more generic drugs in the hands of one competitor, it may be easier to form a cartel and punish those who don’t adhere to its terms. 8 Compl., Connecticut v.

VOLUME 171 Dissenting Statement Despite this risk, the Commission’s analysis is silent with respect to the alleged price fixing conduct.15 The FTC often acts without the benefit of the experience of other law enforcement partners.16 In all matters the Commission should avoid a go-it-alone approach and collaborate with other agencies to help shed light on the mechanisms involved in the allegations. Together, we should closely assess whether the likelihood of harm increases post-merger. Investigating Executives In any matter where a company has a history of potential wrongdoing, a key method to determine the motivations for a merger and to predict how it will affect competition is to seek sworn testimony from key executives. This is especially critical to understand how sales, pricing, and market forces are working. This evidence is also helpful if the agency must prepare a lawsuit.

While filings submitted by merging parties shed light on many aspects of a transaction, they do not always provide a complete picture of the deal rationale, pricing models, and boardroom behavior. The state allegations of price fixing and market allocation make clear that individual executives play a key role in sales and price setting, so it is critical that we fully understand this element of the competitive process.

For example, what is their involvement in developing a pricing model? Do they approve deviations from this pricing model? How do they decide which new markets to enter? In what contexts do they interact with their competitors? There are a long list of questions that are absolutely essential in an inquiry like this.

In this transaction, one of the alleged masterminds of the ongoing price fixing and market allocation schemes is Rajiv Malik, Mylan’s current president, who is a named defendant in one of the state lawsuits.17 A second Mylan executive, Vice President of Sales James Nesta, is also a named defendant in one of the cases. 18 The merging parties have publicly announced that Mr. Malik will retain the top executive role in the expanded generic drug empire, if the transaction 15 See, e.g., Analysis Of Agreement Containing Consent Orders To Aid Public Comment, In the Matter of Pfizer Inc./Mylan N.V., File No. 1910182 (Oct. 29, 2020).

PFIZER INC. 177 Dissenting Statement closes.19 As president, he will be in charge of the merged entity’s sales and marketing operations.20 He will also serve on the merged company’s board.21 Mr. Malik’s role in the alleged price fixing scheme is significant. He allegedly conceived and directed many of the schemes.22 In one example, he is alleged to have agreed to cede market share in one market to a specific competitor in exchange for an agreement from that competitor to allow Mylan to enter a different market without competition.23 Despite the obvious alarm bells raised by Mr. Malik’s planned role in the merged firm, the Commission’s analysis does not discuss his involvement in the ongoing price fixing and market allocation allegations in the industry or his future plans for the company. In my view, the Commission owes the public a clear explanation about Mr. Malik’s role. In matters like this, it is critical that the Commission rely on a wide range of data and evidence, including testimony from key executives.24 Conclusion I am concerned that executives in the pharmaceutical industry routinely propose anticompetitive mergers without any fear that their transactions will ever be blocked. In my view, the status quo approach of seeking settlements through divestitures of individual products is myopic and misses some of the fundamental elements of how firms compete in this industry. I am also not aware of any instance where the Commission publicly relied on the testimony under oath of a pharmaceutical executive in approving a pharmaceutical divestiture settlement. Unless we change our approach, anticompetitive mergers in the pharmaceutical industry will continue unabated, and we will all suffer for it. I appreciate the diligence of our staff, who work at the direction of the Commission. Unfortunately, the directives of the Commission are deeply flawed, favoring routine over rigor. For all these reasons, I respectfully dissent. 19 See Pfizer Press Release, supra note 1.

24 This is particularly important in industries where the Commission cannot rely on evidence and testimony from customers who act as middlemen. We know from the allegations in the state attorneys general lawsuits that drug wholesalers and large retailers allegedly benefit when generic drug prices are higher. These firms have contractual provisions allowing for potentially greater compensation when prices are higher. Id. ¶¶ 71 – 75. VOLUME 171 Analysis to Aid Public Comment ANALYSIS OF CONSENT ORDERS TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has accepted, subject to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Orders (“Consent Agreement”) from Pfizer Inc., Upjohn Inc., Viatris Inc., Mylan N.V., and Utah Acquisition Sub Inc., that is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects resulting from the proposed combination of Upjohn and Mylan. Under the terms of the Consent Agreement, the parties are required to divest Upjohn’s generic drug rights and assets related to six products to Prasco, LLC. The Consent Agreement also requires the parties to divest Mylan’s rights and assets related to eplerenone tablets to Prasco. Further, the Consent Agreement requires prior Commission approval before Upjohn, Mylan, or Viatris may gain an interest in or exercise control over any third party’s rights to (1) levothyroxine sodium tablets, (2) sucralfate tablets, and (3) varenicline tartrate tablets. The Consent Agreement has been placed on the public record for thirty days for receipt of comments from interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty days, the Commission will again evaluate the Consent Agreement, along with the comments received, to make a final decision as to whether it should withdraw the Consent Agreement, modify it, or make final the proposed Decision and Order (“Order”). Pursuant to agreements dated July 29, 2019, Pfizer proposes to spin off its Upjohn business, which includes legacy Pfizer branded products and the authorized generic business, Greenstone, LLC. Upjohn will combine with Mylan to form a new entity, Viatris (“Proposed Combination”). The Commission alleges in its Complaint that the Proposed Combination, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18, as amended, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45, as amended, by lessening current competition in the following seven U.S. markets: (1) amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets, (2) eplerenone tablets, (3) gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution, (4) medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable solution, (5) phenytoin chewable tablets, (6) prazosin hydrochloride (“HCl”) capsules, and (7) spironolactone hydrochlorothiazide (“HCTZ”) tablets. The Commission also alleges that the Proposed Combination would violate the aforementioned statutes by lessening future competition in the markets for: (1) levothyroxine sodium tablets, (2) sucralfate tablets, and (3) varenicline tartrate tablets. The Consent Agreement will remedy the alleged violations by preserving the competition that otherwise would be eliminated by the Proposed Combination.

I. The Products and Structure of the Markets In human pharmaceutical markets, price generally decreases as the number of generic competitors increases. Prices continue to decrease incrementally with the entry of the second, third, fourth, and even fifth generic competitor. And in markets prone to supply shortages, additional entry after the fifth generic competitor continues to affect price and ensures more stable supply. Accordingly, the reduction in the number of suppliers within each relevant market has a direct and substantial effect on pricing.

The Proposed Combination would reduce current competition in the markets for seven products where Greenstone distributes the authorized generic version of the branded drug: PFIZER INC. 179 Analysis to Aid Public Comment • Amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets combine a calcium channel blocker to treat hypertension with a lipid-lowering agent to treat high cholesterol. Only four companies sell generic amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets: Greenstone, Mylan, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., and Apotex Inc. • Eplerenone is a diuretic that is prescribed as an adjunctive therapy when treating hypertension or congestive heart failure after a heart attack. Significant sellers of eplerenone include Greenstone, Mylan, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Accord Healthcare Inc.

• Gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution is an eye drop that treats bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible strains of certain bacteria. The market for gatifloxacin has faced historical supply disruptions. Five companies supply this product today: Greenstone, Mylan, Sandoz International Gmbh, Akorn, Inc., and Lupin Ltd. • Medroxyprogesterone acetate is an injectable solution used to treat certain types of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Injectable products, such as medroxyprogesterone acetate, have recently experienced shortages and supply disruptions. Greenstone, Mylan, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. currently supply medroxyprogesterone acetate.

• Phenytoin chewable tablets are an anti-epileptic drug that slows down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Only three suppliers provide phenytoin chewable tablets today: Greenstone, Mylan, and Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. • Prazosin HCl capsules are an alpha-adrenergic blocker that treats hypertension by relaxing the veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass. The market for prazosin HCl capsules is supplied by four companies: Greenstone, Mylan, Teva, and Novitium Pharma LLC.

• Spironolactone HCTZ tablets are a diuretic used to treat hypertension. Only three suppliers provide spironolactone HCTZ tablets: Greenstone, Mylan, and Sun. The Proposed Combination also would reduce future competition in the following generic markets:

• Levothyroxine sodium tablets are offered in a host of strengths and are prescribed to treat hypothyroidism or as an adjunct therapy for patients undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. Suppliers for levothyroxine sodium tablets vary by strength. Should Upjohn or Greenstone launch an authorized generic of Pfizer’s levothyroxine sodium branded product (Levoxyl®), the Proposed Combination likely would reduce the number of independent suppliers from three to two in some strengths.

VOLUME 171 Analysis to Aid Public Comment • Sucralfate tablets are used to treat and prevent ulcers in the small intestines. Only three companies sold sucralfate tablets historically: Greenstone, Mylan, and Teva. More recently, Mylan discontinued sales of sucralfate. The Proposed Combination likely alters Mylan’s incentives to relaunch sucralfate tablets and would reduce the number of firms capable of selling sucralfate tablets from three to two.

• Varenicline tartrate tablets are a smoking cessation aid offered under Pfizer’s brand Chantix®. Currently, only branded Chantix® is available in the market. Mylan is one of a limited number of companies likely to share the Hatch-Waxman 180-day exclusivity period when the generic market forms. Should Upjohn or Greenstone launch an authorized generic of Pfizer’s Chantix®, the Proposed Combination would significantly reduce the number of independent generic suppliers.

II. Entry Entry into the markets at issue would not be timely, likely, or sufficient in magnitude, character, and scope to deter or counteract the anticompetitive effects of the Proposed Combination. The combination of drug development times and regulatory requirements, including approval by the FDA, is costly and time-consuming. III. Competitive Effects The Proposed Combination would likely cause significant anticompetitive harm to consumers in the relevant generic pharmaceutical markets by eliminating current and/or future competition in concentrated existing generic markets or in future generic markets. In generic pharmaceuticals markets, price is heavily influenced by the number of participants with sufficient supply. Market participants consistently characterize generic drug markets as commodity markets in which the number of generic suppliers has a direct impact on pricing. Customers and competitors alike have confirmed that the prices of the generic pharmaceutical products at issue continue to decrease with new entry even after a number of suppliers have entered these generic markets.

The evidence shows that anticompetitive effects are likely to result from the Proposed Combination due to a decrease in the number of independent competitors in the markets at issue. In each of the current generic drug markets, industry participants have indicated that the presence of Greenstone and Mylan as independent competitors has allowed them to negotiate lower prices and, in some markets, has improved surety of supply.

In five of the markets where Upjohn and Mylan currently compete (amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets, eplerenone tablets, phenytoin chewable tablets, prazosin HCl capsules, and spironolactone HCTZ tablets), the Proposed Combination likely would reduce competition by combining two of only four or fewer current suppliers, likely leading to higher prices. In two of the markets where Upjohn and Mylan currently compete and where significant product shortages have occurred (gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution and medroxyprogesterone PFIZER INC. 181 Analysis to Aid Public Comment acetate injectable solution), the Proposed Combination would eliminate an independent supplier. Customers have indicated that preserving competition between Upjohn and Mylan, particularly in markets prone to shortages, is important to maintaining adequate supplies and competitive prices.

In addition, the Proposed Combination likely would delay or forego the introduction of beneficial competition, and subsequent price decreases, by eliminating future competition in the markets for generic levothyroxine sodium tablets, sucralfate tablets, and varenicline tartrate tablets.

Absent the Consent Agreement, the Proposed Combination would eliminate significant current and future competition between the parties and likely cause U.S. consumers to pay higher prices for the aforementioned generic pharmaceutical products. IV. The Consent Agreement and Order The proposed Order effectively remedies the competitive concerns raised by the Proposed Combination for the ten generic pharmaceutical product areas at issue. Pursuant to the proposed Order, the parties are required to divest to Prasco Upjohn’s authorized generic rights and assets related to six products. The proposed Order also requires the parties to divest Mylan’s rights and assets related to eplerenone tablets to Prasco. The parties must accomplish these divestitures and relinquish their rights no later than ten days after the Proposed Combination is consummated. The proposed Order further allows the Commission to appoint a trustee in the event the parties fail to divest the products.

Further, the proposed Order requires prior Commission approval before Upjohn, Mylan, or Viatris may gain an interest in or exercise control over any third party’s rights to the following products: (1) levothyroxine sodium tablets, (2) sucralfate tablets, and (3) varenicline tartrate tablets.

The Commission’s goal in evaluating possible purchasers of divested assets is to maintain the competitive environment that existed prior to the Proposed Combination. Prasco is a capable purchaser with management and employees who have experience marketing and distributing generic pharmaceutical products. It will be able to replicate the competition otherwise lost from the Proposed Combination.

The proposed Order contains several provisions to help ensure that the divestitures are successful. As to the products and rights being divested to Prasco, generic drug manufacturing will continue to be performed by the same entity as prior to the Proposed Combination, reducing the risk of any interruption in supply to Prasco. In some instances, Pfizer—which will be an independent entity, separate from Viatris after the Proposed Combination—will serve as Prasco’s contract manufacturer, allowing Prasco to step into the shoes of Upjohn/Greenstone. Should Prasco decide to move manufacturing to another contract manufacturer, the proposed Order requires the parties to provide transitional services to assist Prasco or its designated contract manufacturer in establishing manufacturing capabilities and securing all necessary FDA approvals. These transitional services include technical assistance to manufacture the currently VOLUME 171 Analysis to Aid Public Comment marketed products in substantially the same manner and quality employed or achieved by the parties. To the extent that Pfizer will manufacture relevant products on behalf of both Viatris and Prasco, the proposed Order requires that supply to Prasco is provided at a pre-determined cost and is prioritized over supply to Viatris. For amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium tablets, Viatris will provide the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) used in Prasco’s product. The proposed Order requires that Viatris provide Prasco with API at a pre-determined cost and that it prioritizes Prasco’s use of API over its own. Moreover, the proposed Order requires a firewall between Viatris’s API business and its commercial business to prevent the sharing of commercially sensitive information. Under the proposed Order, the Commission also will appoint two Monitors.

The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the Consent Agreement, and it is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the proposed Order or to modify its terms in any way.
