Abbott, Mylan silent on why changing tax-inversion terms
Wed, 22 Oct 2014 22:22:06 GMT
Reuters – Drugmakers Abbott Laboratories and Mylan Inc on Wednesday declined to explain in detail why they changed the terms of a $5.3 billion deal in which Mylan will buy part of Abbott's overseas generics business and reincorporate for tax purposes in the Netherlands. The altered contract for the deal came a month after the Treasury Department made changes to U.S. “The (tax law) changes from Treasury are making people re-look at deal terms, and deals are not as favorable now,” said Edward Jones analyst Jeff Windau. Windau said many investors had feared the new Treasury rules might derail the deal, and they took comfort in statements by both Abbott and Pittsburgh-based Mylan on Wednesday that the transaction would go through in the first quarter of 2015.
