Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 21, 2014, Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Mylan”), New Moon B.V., a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“New Mylan”), Moon of PA Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Abbott Laboratories, an Illinois corporation (“Abbott”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) in connection with pre-closing actions required to be taken pursuant to the Business Transfer Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 13, 2014, among Mylan, New Mylan, Merger Sub and Abbott (the “Transaction Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the acquisition by New Mylan of Abbott’s non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “Business”) and of Mylan (the “Transaction”).

Under the Transaction Agreement, affiliates of New Mylan and Abbott agreed to enter into certain manufacturing arrangements at the closing of the Transaction. The Amendment adjusts, in a manner that is more favorable to New Mylan and its affiliates, the pricing terms under the arrangements pursuant to which, after closing, affiliates of Abbott will manufacture and supply products for affiliates of New Mylan.

The Amendment is expected to result in additional accretion to Mylan. As previously disclosed, the Transaction is expected to be immediately and significantly accretive to Mylan.

The Amendment also increases to 110,000,000 the number of New Mylan ordinary shares to be issued to affiliates of Abbott at closing. As a result, upon closing, the former shareholders of Mylan will own approximately 78% of the outstanding New Mylan ordinary shares and Abbott and its affiliates will own approximately 22% of the outstanding New Mylan ordinary shares.

Except for the changes described above, no other material changes to the Transaction are contemplated.

Mylan continues to expect that the Transaction will close in the first quarter of 2015, subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory clearances and approval by Mylan’s shareholders.
