Pfizer Inc on Monday said it would buy Botox maker Allergan Plc in a deal
worth $160 billion to slash its U.S. tax bill, rekindling a fierce political
debate over the financial maneuver.
The acquisition, which would create the world's largest drugmaker and shift
Pfizer's headquarters to Ireland, would also be the biggest-ever instance of
a U.S. company re-incorporating overseas to lower its taxes. U.S. President
Barack Obama has called such inversion deals unpatriotic and has tried to
crack down on the practice.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton pledged to propose
measures to prevent such deals. The merger was also slammed by her rival
Senator Bernie Sanders as well as by Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump.
"The fact that Pfizer is leaving our country with a tremendous loss of jobs
is disgusting," Trump said in a statement.
It was not immediately known how many jobs would be lost as a result of the
merger.
Shares of Allergan fell 3.4 percent and Pfizer closed down 2.6 percent as
investors learned the merger, under discussion since late October, would
bring lower cost savings than they had hoped.
Pfizer also disappointed some investors by delaying by two years a decision
on whether to sell off its division consisting of products facing generic
competition.
To avoid potential restrictions, the transaction was structured as smaller,
Dublin-based Allergan buying Pfizer, although the combined company will be
known as Pfizer Plc and continue to be led by Chief Executive Officer Ian
Read.
The U.S. Treasury, concerned about losing billions in tax revenue, has been
taking steps to limit the benefits of tax inversion deals, but it admitted
last week that it would take legislation from Congress to stop such moves.
The deal enhances offerings from both Pfizer's faster-growing branded
products business, with additions like Botox, and its older established
products unit. Still, investors had hoped Pfizer would sell off the lower-
margin business in 2017, a move now put off by the time required to
integrate Allergan. | w******y

The companies are eyeing more than $2 billion in cost cuts over the first
three years after closing, they said Monday, with just under two-thirds of
that coming from SI&A, just under one-third coming from R&D, and the
remainder coming from COGS. Forty percent of those savings will squeezed by
the end of the first full year after closing, with 60% coming by the end of
the second year.
Pfizer certainly has a history of wielding the ax in the wake of large tie-
ups. Take Wyeth, a 2009 Pfizer buy that D'Amelio spotlighted in discussion
his company's experience with large integrations. The year the deal closed,
the New York pharma giant announced 20,000 job cuts, and thousands more have
come since. Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia buyouts before that came along
with painful layoffs, too. | m****n

发帖数: 926 | 12 不能一棍子打死 pfizer 吧。pfizer 当年大胆上了 kinase inhibitor 的项目，不仅
加速了这类题材的开发，还给 有机合成工作者 一个好饭碗。
作为大公司，开发一些高风险的项目，是其社会责任之一。不然小公司就更畏手畏脚的
了。 |
