Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on July 29, 2019, Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pfizer”), Upjohn Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer (the “Company”), Mylan N.V., a public company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Mylan”) and certain of their affiliates entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), and Pfizer and the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement, as amended as of February 18, 2020 (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement), which provide for the combination (the “Combination”) of Mylan and Pfizer’s global, primarily off-patent branded and generic established medicines business (the “Upjohn Business”).

On May 29, 2020, Mylan, Pfizer, the Company and certain of their affiliates entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA Amendment”), and Pfizer and the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “SDA Amendment” and, together with the BCA Amendment, the “Amendments”). In light of the ongoing regulatory review process, including delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Amendments provide, among other things, that the closing of the Combination shall not occur prior to October 1, 2020 (unless otherwise agreed to by Mylan and Pfizer) and that the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall be December 31, 2020. As previously disclosed, Mylan’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to approve certain matters relating to the Combination is scheduled to be held on June 30, 2020. Mylan and Pfizer expect the closing of the Combination to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The foregoing description of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the BCA Amendment and the SDA Amendment, respectively, which are attached as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the proposed combination of the Company and Mylan, which will immediately follow the proposed separation of the Upjohn Business from Pfizer (the “proposed transaction”), the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, the benefits and synergies of the proposed transaction, future opportunities for the combined company and products and any other statements regarding Pfizer’s, Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s future operations, financial or operating results, capital allocation, dividend policy, debt ratio, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competitions, and other expectations and targets for future periods. Forward-looking statements may often be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “pipeline”, “intend”, “continue”, “target”, “seek” and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic for businesses and governments around the world; the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; changes in relevant tax and other laws; the parties’ ability to consummate the proposed transaction; the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction, including receipt of approval of Mylan’s shareholders, not being satisfied or waived on the anticipated timeframe or at all; the regulatory approvals required for the proposed transaction not being obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule or at all; inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis; the integration of Mylan and the Company being more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s and the combined company’s failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; the possibility that the combined company may be unable to achieve expected benefits, synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the proposed transaction within the expected time frames or at all or to successfully integrate Mylan and the Company; customer loss and business disruption being greater than expected following the proposed transaction; the retention of key employees being more difficult following the proposed transaction; Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s liquidity, capital resources and ability to obtain financing; any regulatory, legal or other impediments to Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to where Mylan, the Upjohn Business or the combined company uses its business judgment and decides to manufacture, market and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk launch”); success of clinical trials and Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s ability to execute on new product opportunities; any changes in or difficulties with Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s manufacturing facilities, including with respect to remediation and restructuring activities, supply chain or inventory or the ability to meet anticipated demand; the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, including government investigations, and the impact of any such proceedings on Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows; Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s and the combined company’s ability to protect their respective intellectual property and preserve their respective intellectual property rights; the effect of any changes in customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in third-party relationships; actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators; the impacts of competition; changes in the economic and financial conditions of the Upjohn Business or the business of Mylan or the combined company; the impact of outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for Mylan’s, the Upjohn Business’s or the combined company’s products; and uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in each of Pfizer’s, the Company’s and Mylan’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These risks, as well as other risks associated with Mylan, the Upjohn Business, the combined company and the proposed transaction are also more fully discussed in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, which includes a proxy statement/prospectus (as amended, the “Form S-4”), which was filed by the Company with the SEC on October 25,

“Unless the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, the closing of the Combination, other than any aspect of the Liquidation that under Law or pursuant to this Agreement is to occur at a later time (the “Closing”), shall take place (a) with respect to the Combination, at the offices of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Claude Debussylaan 80, Amsterdam and (b) with respect to the other transactions, at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019 at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(b), Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.2(e) and any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions) have been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Pluto and Utah; provided, however, that (i) Pluto may, following consultation in good faith with Utah, delay the date of the Closing in order to ensure that there is at least five (5) Business Days of “when issued” trading of Spinco Common Stock on the Spinco Stock Exchange prior to the Closing or such longer period as may be required by the Spinco Stock Exchange and (ii) in no event shall the Closing occur prior to October 1, 2020, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Pluto and Utah.”

(d) Section 8.6(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

In the event that the Utah Shareholders Meeting is cancelled and reconvened pursuant to the foregoing proviso, Utah shall duly give notice of and reconvene the Utah Shareholders Meeting on a date scheduled by mutual agreement of Utah, Pluto and Spinco, acting reasonably; provided, however, that Utah shall in no event cancel and reconvene the Utah Shareholders Meeting to a date that is more than thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Utah Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Pluto.

Subject to the two immediately subsequent sentences, the term of the NEB Agreement with respect to each Delayed Market shall commence on the Distribution Date and terminate upon the closing of the transfer of the Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities for such Delayed Market to Spinco and the applicable members of the Spinco Group (a “Delayed Closing”), or such other date as may be mutually agreed by Pluto and Spinco, but in no event later than the “Delayed Closing Outside Date” for such Delayed Market, which shall be the one-year anniversary of the Closing. If Spinco reasonably determines that a Delayed Closing for a Spinco Delayed Market cannot be completed on or before the applicable Delayed Closing Outside Date (A) without a material adverse impact on the Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities for such Spinco Delayed Market or (B) as a result of applicable Law, then Spinco shall notify Pluto in writing of the expected delay, which notice shall include a proposed extension to the Delayed Closing Outside Date for such Spinco Delayed Market (of a duration no greater than six months) and a detailed written plan for completion of such Delayed Closing and the termination of the term of the NEB Agreement with respect to such Spinco Delayed Market on or prior to such extended date (any such extension period, a “Spinco Extension Period”); provided that Spinco shall only be permitted to extend the Delayed Closing Outside Date (1) pursuant to clause (A) one time for up to six months and (2) if Spinco has used commercially reasonable efforts to effect the transfer of the applicable Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities, pursuant to clause (B) two times for up to six months each.
