The deal, expected to be announced Monday, will result in Pfizer shareholders owning most of the new company, with Mylan's shareholders owning slightly more than 40%, said the person, who declined to be named because the plans aren't yet public. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news.
The combined company, which will sell Mylan's EpiPen and Pfizer's Viagra, will receive a new name and be domiciled in the U.S. The deal will be structured in what's known as a reverse Morris trust, with Pfizer's Upjohn business divested and then combined with Mylan.Pfizer doesn't break out numbers for its China-based Upjohn unit
. Pfizer's so-called Essential Health business, comprising off-patent drugs, branded generics, sterile-injectable medicines, biosimilars and others, drew $20.2 billion of the company's total $53.6 billion in 2018 sales, but Pfizer's not spinning off the entire unit. Mylan's stock is down 76% from its 2015 high amid scrutiny of its price increases on the EpiPen, pressure on U.S. generic drug prices and an investigation into drug-price collusion in the industry. The deal is the "best-case outcome" for Mylan, said Jared Holz, health-care strategist at Jefferies. Mylan said last year it had formed a strategic review committee to evaluate options for the future of the company.
Pfizer investors are more mixed on the deal, according to Holz, who said he's received feedback from shareholders since the Journal's first reportIt would mark a further move under new Chief Executive Albert Bourla to streamline Pfizer's focus on branded medicines and vaccines.

Not a peep out of democrats and you reporting it as a good deal. This is a shame. This is why we have President Trump. Nonononononononono Hmmm, with lesser competition, it's easier for big corporations to dictate and control prices. I hope this low-price drug market goal is going to happen.
