Allergan plc today announced that it has completed the divestiture of its global generic pharmaceuticals business to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Allergan has received $33.4 billion in cash and 100.3 million shares of Teva stock valued at $5.4 billion based on the opening price of $53.39 for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. shares on August 2, 2016. These shares are subject to a twelve month holding period post-close of the transaction.

…Teva has acquired Allergan's legacy Actavis Global Generics business, including the U.S. and international generic commercial units, third-party supplier Medis, global generic manufacturing operations, and the global generic R&D unit, as well as Allergan's international over-the-counter (OTC) commercial unit (excluding OTC eye care products) and certain established international brands.

Allergan retains its dynamic global branded pharmaceutical business powered by best-in-class products for the central nervous system, eye care, medical aesthetics and dermatology, gastroenterology, women's health, urology and anti-infective therapeutic categories. [AGN is also retaining its interest in the global FoB collaboration with AMGN.]

…Allergan plans to commence its previously announced share repurchase program under board authorization of up to $10 billion of the Company's common stock in the coming days. The Company expects to execute an initial $5 billion in open market repurchases over the remainder of 2016. If favorable market conditions persist, the Company will plan to repurchase the remaining $5 billion under the authorization.
