AbbVie buying Allergan in $63B deal for its post-Humira future
Both AbbVie and Allergan faced growing shareholder pressure for more aggressive approaches to answer long-term questions on each company's future. 

Yet AbbVie's planned $63 billion buyout of Allergan came as a surprise to some on Wall Street, and brings further change to an industry still digesting Bristol-Myers' deal for Celgene. 

For AbbVie, shareholders have grown increasingly focused on what will drive the company forward beyond Humira (adalimumab), which accounts for more than 60% of its revenues and faces entry of low-cost copycats in the U.S. in 2023. 

Per deal terms, Allergan shareholders will receive 0.866 shares in AbbVie along with $120.30 in cash for each share in Allergan. After closing, AbbVie investors would own 83% of the combined company.

Bristol-Myers will  sell  the psoriasis pill as part of a consent decree with the FTC intended to speed up its Celgene merger, the company said. Otezla, which cleared more than $1.6 billion in global sales in 2018, was not considered one of the core assets in the merger, according to Credit Suisse analyst Vamil Divan. The divesture will likely delay the merger's approval until late 2019 or early 2020, overshooting plans for a Q3 approval this year, Bristol-Myers said.
