Dear Fellow Shareholder:
The Board urges you to vote for Company performance. We previously sent to you proxy materials for Mylan Inc.’s (the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 11, 2014, including your Board of Directors’ recommendations regarding the matters upon which you are asked to vote.
Among other successes supporting the Board’s recommendations, the Company has produced outstanding long- and short-term results, and in 2013 we achieved record adjusted revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share, and the stock price rose to an all-time high. Mylan’s total shareholder return has exceeded applicable Standard and Poor’s benchmarks over the past 1, 3, and 5 years, and we have set a highly ambitious target of achieving adjusted diluted earnings per share of at least $6.00 by the end of 2018, which would produce significant additional shareholder value. A more detailed rationale for each of the Board’s recommendations is included in the Proxy Statement.
Accordingly, your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote:
| • | FOR Item 1 — Approval of Director Nominees; |
| • | FOR Item 2 — Ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; |
| • | FOR Item 3 — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Company; and |
| • | AGAINST Item 4 — Consideration of a shareholder proposal to adopt a policy that the Chairman of the Board of Directors be an independent director. |
Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. To ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting, please vote today by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided.
Very truly yours,
Heather Bresch
Chief Executive Officer
