Acquisition of Pacira BioSciences Inc.
On October 8, 2026, the Company entered into the Pacira Merger Agreement with Pacira under which Viatris has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding Pacira Shares for $36.50 per share in cash, representing an aggregate equity value of $1.65 billion. Pacira brings two established, high-margin, patent-protected, in-market U.S. products – EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) and ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension). Viatris plans to leverage its intellectual property expertise and proven ability to extend product lifecycles and sustain meaningful sales after the entry of competition to maximize the long-term value of the Pacira portfolio and expects to expand the products' reach across select markets within its global infrastructure.

On October 30, 2026, the Company commenced the Pacira Offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Pacira Shares for $36.50 per share in cash, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related Pacira Merger Agreement. The Pacira Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 16, 2026, unless the Pacira Offer is extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the Pacira Merger Agreement. Following completion of the Pacira Offer, Viatris will acquire all remaining Pacira Shares not tendered in the Pacira Offer through the Pacira Merger for the same consideration. The Company expects to fund the transaction primarily from excess cash with the remainder from short-term borrowings.

The transaction, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding Pacira Shares and expiration of the applicable regulatory waiting period. The transaction is expected to close by the end of November 2026.
