CONTENTS
On July 26, 2015, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. entered into a definitive agreement with Allergan plc to acquire Allergan’s worldwide generics business (“Actavis Generics”) in a transaction valued at $40.5 billion.
While significant progress has been made toward completing the acquisition of Actavis Generics, Teva now anticipates that completing the acquisition could take as long as June 2016, based upon its current estimate of the timing to obtain clearance from the United States Federal Trade Commission. Teva previously expected that the closing would occur as early as the end of the first quarter of 2016 with the potential for it to be slightly delayed.
Teva continues to work closely and in cooperation with the FTC to obtain regulatory approval in the U.S.
Teva has received regulatory approval from the European Commission for its acquisition of Actavis Generics, subject to certain divestitures.
