So how maybe balance that obviously my sense is that youll probably grow the dividend at a little bit
slower rate. Youll want to plow some money back into, obviously, future M&A, but wed love to hear your perspective.
Frank A. DAmelio - Pfizer Inc. -
CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations
Sure. So let me punctuate your point about the
dividend. I said this on the call, which is maybe let me talk a little bit about just we and I said on the call, wed keep our shareholders whole. And in a few of investor meetings, there was a little bit of confusion on this, so
let me just make sure I clear the air on that. Then Ill mention the dividend in terms of the rhythm going forward, and then Ill talk about M&A.
So first, on the dividend, one of the things I talked about was keeping our shareholders whole. So we keeping our shareholder whole would be RemainCo plus
NewCo. So the way to think about this, right, Mylan today has 515 million shares. The new company will have 1.2 billion shares. The 1.2 billion shares is just the 515 million divided by the 43% that Mylan will own of the new
company. Everybody follows so far? So then Pfizer shareholders will get 685 million shares. You put that over our current 5.6 billion shares outstanding, exchange ratio was about 1.2%, but the key number is that 1.2 billion shares
outstanding. Now on the call, Robert Coury said NewCo is going to generate about $4 billion in free cash flow. Theyll use greater than or equal to 25% of that to dividends. So once you have that, you can go to work. You take the
$1 billion over the 1.2 billion shares outstanding. Its $0.83 per share in terms of the NewCo based on those numbers. Then its simple. If you have 100 shares of Pfizer today, based on that exchange ratio, youll get 12
shares of NewCo. 12 shares of NewCo at $0.83 a share is $10. And then Pfizer would pay $134. That $134 plus that $10 is the $144 that we pay today. So thats how Pfizer and NewCo would keep our shareholders whole. That doesnt assume any
action come December.
Now to your point about going forward. Our operating cash flow goes from, in a steady-state, $15 billion, $16 billion,
call it approximately $15 billion, to $11 billion or $12 billion. So what I said on the call was, one, were going to keep our shareholders whole, NewCo and RemainCo, and well continue to have dividend increases subject to
Board approval, but theyll be lower than theyve been in the past. And if you look, since we did the Wyeth deal, we raised the dividend every year like a clock $0.08. And so you shouldnt expect $0.08 going forward is what I said on
the call.
