AbbVie completed acquisition of Allergan for nearly $62 billion
On May 8, 2020, AbbVie announced it had completed its acquisition of Allergan following receipt of regulatory approval from all government authorities required by the transaction agreement and approval by the Irish High Court. Allergan shareholders received 0.8660 AbbVie shares and $120.30 in cash for each Allergan share, for a total consideration of $193.23 per Allergan share or nearly $62 billion.
The transaction significantly expands and diversifies AbbVie’s revenue base and complements existing leadership positions in Immunology, with Humira®, and recently launched Skyrizi ™ and Rinvoq™, and Hematologic Oncology, with Imbruvica® and Venclexta®. Allergan provides new growth opportunities in Neuroscience, with Botox® Therapeutics, Vraylar® and Ubrelvy™ and a global aesthetics business, with leading brands including Botox® and Juvederm®.
This diversified on-market portfolio will drive the existing AbbVie growth platform (ex-Humira) to approximately $30 billion in revenues in full year 2020, with combined revenues of approximately $50 billion. It also positions the Company for enhanced long-term growth potential, a growing dividend and investment in innovation in each of its therapeutic categories. The Company anticipates rapidly paying down the incremental debt with its increased operating cash flows.
