INDUSTRY M&A SNAPSHOT

Above is an overview of recent industry M&A activity. For additional information, see the charts below or click on the chart above to download complete transaction tables broken out by industry sub sectors.
Pfizer has  agreed to  merge its off-patent drugs franchise, Upjohn, with Mylan, the companies said Monday. The deal would allow Pfizer and Mylan to combine two under-pressure businesses into a new giant with projected 2020 revenues of $19 billion to $20 billion. And with that heft, it may have a better chance at weathering growing pricing pressure in the U.S. generics market.

The two parties are looking at a stock transaction, in which Mylan investors will get 43% of the combined company and Pfizer investors the rest. Upjohn plans to issue $12 billion in new debt to wrap up the deal, and the proceeds will go to Pfizer. Mylan and Pfizer already collaborate on EpiPen, though that partnership has lately suffered from  manufacturing problems .

The company will have 51 manufacturing sites, including 25 solid dose, seven injectable, eight complex dosage forms and 11 API sites. In total they can produce more than 80 billion doses annually.

With Celgene making the big move under Bristol-Myers Squibb’s umbrella, the drugmaker is looking to clear its books before the merger. Two antitrust settlements totaling more than $100 million could help soothe BMS’ mind. Celgene will pay Mylan  $62 million  to settle claims that it intentionally stifled generic competition for its blockbuster multiple myeloma med Revlimid and predecessor Thalomid. The Big Biotech refused to sell samples of the two drugs to generics makers, the lawsuit said—and those samples are necessary for copycats to win FDA approval.

The Trump administration on Wednesday proposed allowing the importation of lower-priced drugs from foreign countries in its latest bid to lower patient out-of-pocket costs. The proposal rests on the belief that manufacturers would offer imported drugs at a lower price if they sold them under a different National Drug Code than products designated for the U.S. market, a claim that analysts disputed. The pharmaceutical sector's leading trade group, meanwhile, opposed the plan on safety grounds.
