Under the terms of the Transaction, Pfizer will contribute the Upjohn Business, a business unit of Pfizer, to the Company. The Company will be &lt;div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;;display:inline;"&gt;spun-off&lt;/div&gt; or &lt;div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;;display:inline;"&gt;split-off&lt;/div&gt; to Pfizer&#x2019;s stockholders and, immediately thereafter, combined with Mylan. The name of the new company to be formed by the planned combination of the Upjohn Business and Mylan will be &#x201c;Viatris.&#x201d; The voting common stock of the Company is expected to be listed for trading on the NASDAQ. Pfizer stockholders would own 57% of the combined new company, and former Mylan shareholders would own 43%. The Company will issue $12&#160;billion of debt in connection with its separation from Pfizer and will make a cash payment to Pfizer equal to $12&#160;billion as partial consideration for the contribution of the Upjohn Business from Pfizer to the Company. The Transaction is generally expected to be tax free to Pfizer and Pfizer stockholders and is expected to close in the second half of 2020, subject to Mylan shareholder approval and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; margin-top: 9pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0%;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;;display:inline;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration:underline;display:inline;"&gt;B.
