The portfolio consists of well-established injectable anticoagulants sold in Europe under the brand names, and variations of the brand names, Arixtra, Fraxiparine, Mono-Embolex and Orgaran. These products had combined net sales of approximately EUR 231 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and are expected to be accretive to Mylan's consolidated adjusted EBITDA margins, as well as the anticipated consolidated adjusted EBITDA margins of Viatris.

Mylan President Rajiv Malik commented: "The acquisition of this thrombosis portfolio is a significant addition to Mylan's European business that will not only make Mylan the second largest supplier of these products to patients in Europe, according to IQVIA, but also bolster our existing commercial infrastructure to further expand access to complex injectables. By adding to our highly experienced sales and marketing team, we will further strengthen our current reach in hospitals and enhance the future growth of our biosimilars franchise in Europe."

Mylan Executive Chairman Robert J. Coury commented: "As we continue toward the launch of Viatris, we remain committed to executing on opportunities that will not only add to Mylan's growth, but that also will be consistent with our vision for Viatris under the Global Healthcare Gateway, which we believe will establish the new company as a true Partner of Choice."

Aspen will retain manufacturing and product supply responsibilities and will supply Mylan with finished product. Aspen has a fully vertically integrated supply chain predominantly located in Europe.
