Viatris Inc. Launches as a New Kind of Healthcare Company, Positioned to Meet the World's Evolving Healthcare Needs - Seite 3

Viatris Chief Financial Officer Sanjeev Narula said: "Through financial discipline, we expect to add to the strength, capability and flexibility of our new enterprise and open doors to new opportunities to help people live longer, healthier lives. We look forward to our Investor Day in the late February/early March timeframe where we will outline how Viatris can deliver on its stated commitments and our roadmap to maximize value creation, including our expectation to generate strong and accelerating free cash flows."

Viatris is embarking on a significant global restructuring program in order to achieve synergies of $1 billion and ensure the new company is optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders. The company is currently in the process of defining the specific parameters of the program, including workforce actions and other restructuring activities. Further details for this program are expected to be disclosed by the end of this year as plans are finalized. Key activities of the expanded program are expected to reduce the company's cost base through the rationalization of its global manufacturing and supply network, and the optimization of the company's functional and commercial capabilities.

The combination of Mylan and Upjohn was announced on July 29, 2019 and received the final regulatory clearance on Oct. 30, 2020. Viatris will begin regular way trading on Nasdaq, under the ticker symbol VTRS, at the beginning of the trading day on Nov. 17, 2020, the first full trading day after closing.
