On July 29, 2019, Mylan, Pfizer, Upjohn, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer, and certain other affiliated entities entered into a Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which Mylan would combine with the Upjohn Business in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The Upjohn Business was a global, primarily off-patent branded and generic established medicines business, which includes 20 primarily off-patent solid oral dose legacy brands, such as Lyrica®, Lipitor®, Celebrex® and Viagra®. The Combination was completed on November 16, 2020.

Prior to the Combination and pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Pfizer had, among other things, transferred to Viatris substantially all of the assets and liabilities comprising the Upjohn Business (the Separation) and, thereafter, Pfizer had distributed to Pfizer stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Viatris (the Distribution). When the Distribution and Combination were complete, Pfizer stockholders as of the record date of the Distribution owned 57% of the outstanding shares of Viatris common stock and Mylan shareholders as of immediately before the Combination owned 43% of the outstanding shares of Viatris common stock, in each case on a fully diluted basis. Viatris also made a cash payment to Pfizer equal to $12 billion, which was funded with the proceeds of debt incurred by Upjohn prior to the Combination.

The transaction involved multiple legal entity restructuring transactions and a reverse merger acquisition with Viatris representing the legal acquirer and Mylan representing the accounting acquirer of the Upjohn Business. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, Mylan is considered the accounting acquirer of the Upjohn Business and Viatris applied purchase accounting to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Upjohn Business as of November 16, 2020. The debt incurred by Upjohn prior to the Combination was a liability assumed in purchase accounting. The fair value of the debt as of November 16, 2020 was $13.08 billion.

The purchase price consists of the issuance of approximately 689.9 million Viatris shares of common stock at a fair value of approximately $10.73 billion based on the closing price of Mylan’s ordinary shares on November 13, 2020, as reported by the NASDAQ. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting to account for this transaction. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction have been recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition date. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $234.6 million and $602.9 million, respectively. Acquisition related costs were recorded primarily in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations for such periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price recorded at December 31, 2020, and are reflected as “Measurement Period and Other Adjustments” in the table below. The allocation of the $10.73 billion purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the Combination is as follows:


(In millions)	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation as of December 31, 2020 (a)		Measurement Period and Other Adjustments (b)		Purchase Price Allocation as of December 31, 2021 (as adjusted)
Current assets (excluding inventories and net of cash acquired)	$	2,841.9	$	(38.7)	$	2,803.2
Inventories	2,588.9		(34.2)		2,554.7
Property, plant and equipment	1,394.1		(5.0)		1,389.1
Identified intangible assets	18,040.0		—		18,040.0
Goodwill	2,107.5		295.6		2,403.1
Deferred income tax benefit	1,481.9		196.3		1,678.2
Other assets	792.1		(7.4)		784.7
Total assets acquired	$	29,246.4	$	406.6	$	29,653.0
Current liabilities	2,760.2		419.7		3,179.9
Long-term debt, including current portion	13,076.2		—		13,076.2
Deferred tax liabilities	1,656.9		1.0		1,657.9
Other noncurrent liabilities	1,441.5		(14.1)		1,427.4
Net assets acquired (net of $415.8 of cash acquired)	$	10,311.6	$	—	$	10,311.6

(b)The measurement period adjustments are primarily for 1) certain working capital adjustments, an increase in litigation reserves to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of the Combination, and other adjustments and 2) the tax implications of these and other adjustments. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and accordingly, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those consolidated financial statements.

The Combination enhanced each businesses’ ability to serve patients’ needs and expand their capabilities across more than 165 markets. Mylan brought a diverse portfolio across many geographies and key therapeutic areas, such as central nervous system and anesthesia, infectious disease and cardiovascular, as well as a robust pipeline, high-quality manufacturing and supply chain excellence. The Upjohn Business brought trusted, iconic brands, such as Lipitor® (atorvastatin calcium), Celebrex® (celecoxib) and Viagra® (sildenafil), and proven commercialization capabilities, including leadership positions in China and other emerging markets.

The Company recorded a step-up in the fair value of inventory of approximately $1.43 billion at the acquisition date. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded amortization of the inventory step-up of approximately $1.19 billion and $238.2 million, respectively, which is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The inventory step-up was fully amortized during 2021. In addition, a step-up in the fair value of property, plant and equipment of approximately $385.0 million was recognized. The related depreciation is being expensed over a service life of five years for machinery and equipment and between 10 and 20 years for buildings.

The identified intangible assets of $18.04 billion are comprised of product rights and are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of 15 years. Significant assumptions utilized in the valuation of identified intangible assets were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by U.S. GAAP. The goodwill of $2.40 billion arising from the Combination consisted largely of the value of the employee workforce and products to be sold in new markets leveraging the combined entity. In addition, an allocation of the goodwill was assigned to the respective segments. None of the goodwill recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $759.4 million related to the long-term debt assumed as part of the acquisition. The fair value of long-term debt as of the Combination date was determined by broker or dealer quotations, which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The total fair value adjustment is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the maturity dates of the related debt instruments.

The operating results of the Upjohn Business have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date. The total revenues of the Upjohn Business for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2020, were $866.5 million and net loss, net of tax, was approximately $360.9 million. The net loss for the period includes the effect of the purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition related costs.

The following table presents supplemental unaudited pro forma information for the Combination, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair value of assets acquired, the impact of transaction costs and the related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable, or have been achieved, subsequent to the closing of the Combination. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed on the stated date above, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of Viatris and its subsidiaries.

In December 2020, Viatris and Pfizer terminated their strategic collaboration for generic drugs in Japan pursuant to an amendment and termination agreement. Under the prior collaboration agreement, both parties contributed products, which Pfizer distributed to third-parties in the Japan market. Under the terms of the amendment and termination agreement, Viatris purchased all collaboration related inventory held by Pfizer. As a result of the termination, and the repurchase of collaboration inventory, the Company reduced revenue by $86.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
