Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On November 29, 2022, Viatris Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Viatris”),
announced that it closed the previously announced transaction with Biocon Biologics Limited, a public limited company incorporated under the India Companies Act, 2013 (“Biocon
Biologics”), involving the transfer by Viatris of substantially all of its biosimilars portfolio (the “Biosimilars Business”) to Biocon Biologics and its
subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) in exchange for consideration from Biocon Biologics and its subsidiaries of $3.335 billion on a cash-free, debt-free basis, consisting of
(a) $2.0 billion in cash consideration at closing, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below), (b) a convertible preferred equity stake in Biocon Biologics initially representing 12.9% of the equity in
Biocon Biologics (on a fully diluted basis), which the parties’ valued at $1 billion in the Transaction, (c) $160.0 million in future cash consideration, payable on the second anniversary of closing and (d) $175.0 million in future cash
consideration, payable on April 8, 2024 (as a result of Biocon Biologics not exercising its right to exclude certain assets and liabilities related to Viatris’ aflibercept product candidate from the Transaction). Approximately $150 million of the
closing cash consideration was financed by equity commitments from Serum Institute Life Sciences Private Limited and approximately $650 million of the closing cash consideration was financed by equity commitments from Biocon Limited and its
affiliate, Biocon Pharma Limited. The consideration is subject to certain post-closing adjustments and indemnities as set forth in the Transaction Agreement.
On November 28, 2022, prior to the closing of the Transaction, Viatris and Biocon Biologics entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Transaction Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2022, between Viatris and Biocon Biologics (the “Original
Transaction Agreement” and, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Transaction Agreement”). Amendment No. 1, among other things, (a) modified certain aspects of
the structuring of the Transaction, (b) modified the timing and procedures for determining the purchase price adjustments, including relating to working capital, and (c) increased the amount of the working capital target from $150 million to $225
million. In addition, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the closing of the Transaction, Viatris retained cash and certain current assets otherwise included in the working capital of the Biosimilars Business in an aggregate amount equal to
the working capital target. All or a portion of such amounts may become payable to Biocon Biologics in connection with certain events in the future, depending on the valuations attributable to such events.
The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to,
and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of (i) the Original Transaction Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Viatris’ Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference, and (ii)
Amendment No. 1, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The above description of the Transaction Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of
such agreements. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Viatris and Biocon Biologics and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, or any of their respective businesses. The Transaction Agreement contains
representations and warranties that are solely for the benefit of parties thereto. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure letters that the parties have exchanged in
connection with signing the Transaction Agreement as of a specific date. The disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Transaction Agreement.
Therefore, investors and security holders should not treat the representations and warranties as categorical statements of fact. Moreover, these representations and warranties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what
may be material to investors. They were made only as of the date of the Original Transaction Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Transaction Agreement and they are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly,
investors and security holders should read the representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Viatris and its respective subsidiaries that the respective companies
include in reports and statements Viatris files with the SEC.

Inc.” or Viatris’ global restructuring program within the expected timeframe or at all; the Transaction and other strategic initiatives, including potential divestitures, may not achieve their intended benefits; operational or financial
difficulties or losses associated with Viatris’ reliance on agreements with Pfizer in connection with the Combination, including with respect to transition services; the potential impact of public health outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics,
including the ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic; Viatris’ failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical
regulators; changes in relevant laws and regulations, including but not limited to changes in tax, healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations globally (including the impact of potential tax reform in the U.S.); the ability to attract and
retain key personnel; Viatris’ liquidity, capital resources and ability to obtain financing; any regulatory, legal or other impediments to the Viatris’ ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to “at-risk launches”;
success of clinical trials and the Viatris’ or its partners’ ability to execute on new product opportunities and develop, manufacture and commercialize products; any changes in or difficulties with Viatris’ manufacturing facilities, including with
respect to inspections, 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 inquiries or investigations,
and the impact of any such proceedings on Viatris; any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our information technology systems; risks associated with having significant operations globally; the ability to protect
intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights; changes in third-party relationships; the effect of any changes in Viatris’ or its partners’ customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns, including customer
loss and business disruption being greater than expected following the Combination; the impacts of competition, including decreases in sales or revenues as a result of the loss of market exclusivity for certain products; changes in the economic and
financial conditions of Viatris or its partners; uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for Viatris’ products; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management, including but not limited to general political and
economic conditions, inflation rates and global exchange rates; and 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and related standards or on an adjusted basis. For more detailed information on the risks
and uncertainties associated with Viatris, see the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of Viatris’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as amended, and our other filings with the SEC. You can access Viatris’ filings with

Buyer of any other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and the consummation of the Transactions to be consummated by it, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action by Buyer and Subsidiary
Buyer, as applicable. This Agreement has been, and each other Transaction Document to which Buyer or Subsidiary Buyer is, or is specified to be, a party will, at or prior to the Closing, be, duly executed and delivered by Buyer and Subsidiary Buyer,

1.09, Seller Parent shall be permitted to amend the Business Steps Plan only (i) with the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) if Seller Parent reasonably determines that
such amendment is necessary or appropriate to achieve the Intended Tax Treatment or achieve a tax efficient structure for Seller Parent or its Affiliates (provided that any such amendment shall not impose any material costs or expenses on
Buyer or any Business Company (unless Seller Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer or the applicable Business Company for any such costs or expenses) or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby)

the Subsidiary Buyer as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Company to be treated as an entity other than an entity disregarded from Buyer (its owner) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any actions taken after the date of the ROW Future Cash Payment that have a retroactive effect to the date of

Viatris Completes Biosimilars Transaction with Biocon Biologics
Receives a $2 Billion Cash Payment and $1 Billion of Convertible Preferred Equity Representing a Stake of at Least 12.9% (on a Fully Diluted Basis) in Biocon
Biologics
Marks the First in a Series of Expected Initiatives to Reshape and Rebase Viatris, Aimed at Setting it Up for Long-term Growth
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 29, 2022 – Viatris
Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) today announced that it has closed its transaction with Biocon Biologics Limited (“Biocon Biologics”), creating what Viatris expects to be a unique fully vertically integrated global biosimilars leader. Viatris
and Biocon Biologics have entered a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) pursuant to which Viatris will provide commercialization and certain other transition services for an expected two-year period intended to ensure business continuity for
patients, customers and colleagues. Upon the completion of the transition services, Biocon Biologics will assume responsibility of commercial, regulatory and other related services.
Viatris Executive Chairman Robert J. Coury said: “Today is a very exciting
day in the continued evolution of Viatris. The closing today of the Biocon Biologics transaction represents the completion of the first in a series of achievements against the number of initiatives we laid out recently in our strategic update on Nov.
7 as part of our well-defined plan for Viatris. While we will continue to further execute against this plan, we also look forward as now a significant shareholder of Biocon Biologics to supporting Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon
Limited and Biocon Biologics, and her team to optimize the value of Biocon Biologics.”
Viatris President Rajiv Malik said: “The closing of our biosimilars transaction with Biocon Biologics marks the next natural step in the evolution of our collaboration
together. We are deeply committed to doing our part in helping Biocon Biologics succeed in the creation of what we believe will be a true global, vertically integrated biosimilars leader. As we look to Viatris’ future, we are also excited to focus
our energy, resources and efforts on executing our own strategy of moving up the value chain and providing access to more complex and novel products.”
Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Viatris received $3 billion in consideration in the form of a $2 billion cash payment and $1 billion of convertible preferred equity
representing a stake of at least 12.9 % (on a fully diluted basis) in Biocon Biologics. Viatris also is entitled to $335 million of additional cash payments in 2024.
Financial Impact of Completion of the Biosimilars Transaction
As previously stated, the Company’s financial guidance ranges for total revenues, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2022, do not include the impact
of the closing of the transaction with Biocon Biologics. The Company expects its reported results for the year ending December 31, 2022, to be impacted by the closing of the transaction as follows:
| ● |
The Company expects its reported total revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the year to be lower by approximately $80 million and $20 million, respectively.
|
| ● |
The Company expects to report the $2 billion of cash proceeds, offset by the impact of certain deal related adjustments, as cash flows from investing activities. Additionally, the Company
expects to incur approximately $400 million of certain deal related expenses, primarily taxes and associated transactions costs. As a result, the Company expects these deal related expenses to lead to lower reported cash flows from
operating activities, and consequently free cash flow, for the year.
|
Capital Allocation
The Company expects to use the net divestiture cash from the biosimilars transaction to:
| ● |
Pay down additional short-term debt and accelerate its progress towards $6.5 billion of Phase 1 debt reduction
|
| ● |
And, in combination with cash on hand, to:
|
| o |
Fund the previously announced ophthalmology acquisitions totaling approximately $700 to $750 million, anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2023, and
|
| o |
Begin to execute on the previously announced share buyback authorization in 2023.

not limited to: the potential impact of public health outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, including the ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic; that the transaction between Viatris and Biocon Biologics Limited, pursuant
to which Viatris contributed its biosimilar products and programs to Biocon Biologics in exchange for cash consideration and a convertible preferred equity interest in Biocon Biologics (the “Biocon Biologics Transaction”) and other strategic
initiatives, including potential divestitures, may not achieve their intended benefits; the integration of Mylan N.V. and Pfizer Inc.’s Upjohn business (the “Upjohn Business”), which combined to form Viatris (the “Combination”) and the
implementation of our global restructuring initiatives being more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected, or being unsuccessful; the ability to achieve expected benefits, synergies, and operating efficiencies in connection with the
Combination or its restructuring initiatives within the expected timeframe or at all; actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators; changes in healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad; any
regulatory, legal or other impediments to Viatris’ ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to “at-risk” launches; Viatris’ or its partners’ ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize products; the scope, timing
and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, and the impact of any such proceedings; any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our information technology systems; risks associated with international operations; the
ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights; changes in third-party relationships; the effect of any changes in Viatris’ or its partners’ customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns;
the impacts of competition; changes in the economic and financial conditions of Viatris or its partners; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management; and the other risks described in Viatris’ filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Viatris routinely uses its website as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). Viatris undertakes no obligation to
update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release other than as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of the financial
performance of Viatris. Free cash flow refers to U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. For the third quarter of 2022, Viatris calculated adjusted EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) adjusted for income
tax provision (benefit), interest expense and depreciation and amortization (to get to EBITDA) and further adjusted for share-based compensation expense, litigation settlements and other contingencies, net and restructuring, acquisition related and
other special items.
Viatris has provided reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and
other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth in this release on our website
at https://investor.viatris.com/financial-information/non-gaap-reconciliations, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
With regard to the completion of the biosimilars transaction, Viatris is not providing forward-looking disclosures for the expected impact on the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net earnings (loss), or a quantitative reconciliation of the expected impact on adjusted EBITDA to a projected impact on U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the
ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration and acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration and certain
other gains or losses, as well as related income tax accounting, because certain of these items have not occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend
on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the period.
