History

Location

Mylan Pharmaceuticals was founded in 1961 as Milan Pharmaceuticals by Milan Puskar and Don Panoz in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The company moved to Morgantown, West Virginia, in 1965, and in 1976 it relocated its corporate headquarters to Pittsburgh suburb Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and finally in 2004 it moved to a new office center in nearby Southpointe, a suburban business park located in Cecil Township, where it is still located.[16] The company began as a distributor, but in 1966, Mylan received approval to begin manufacturing penicillin G tablets.

Stock

In 1973, Mylan became a publicly traded company on the OTC market under the ticker symbol MYLN, and in 1976 moved to NASDAQ. Their final stock move was in 1986, when their stock became available for trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MYL. Currently, the stock is traded on the NASDAQ.

Acquisitions

Mylan acquired Bertek Inc. in 1993, and in 1999 renamed the company Mylan Technologies Inc. Mylan acquired UDL Laboratories, a supplier of generic medications to institutional and long-term care facilities in 1996. In October 2007 Mylan bought the generics arm of Merck KGaA, and renamed the entire corporation from Mylan Laboratories Inc. to Mylan Inc. In 2011, Mylan entered into an agreement with Pfizer for the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize Pfizer's generic equivalent to GlaxoSmithKline's Advair Diskus and Seretide Diskus incorporating Pfizer's proprietary dry powder inhaler delivery platform.[17]

On July 14, 2014, Mylan announced that it would be purchasing Abbott Laboratories' generic-drugs business in developed markets for stock valued at about $5.3 billion.[18] Mylan acquired Mumbai-based Famy Care and expand its presence in the market for women's contraceptives at about $750 million.[19]

In April 2015, Mylan offered to buy Irish pharmaceutical firm Perrigo for a fee of $29 billion,[20] this offer was rejected. Subsequently, Mylan increased its offer to, $75 in cash and 2.3 shares, $32 billion total.[21] Mylan stated in June 2015 that Teva’s disclosure that it had a 1.35 percent stake in Mylan violated US anti-trust rules.[22] In July, Allergan agreed to sell off its generic drug business to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for $40.5 billion[23][24][25] ($33.75 billion in cash and $6.75 billion worth of shares).[26] As a result, Teva dropped its pursuit of Mylan.

Pharmaceuticals

Mylan discontinued private-label manufacturing in 1980 and instead chose to market their products under their own "Mylan-labeled" brand. Their first Mylan-invented product, Maxzide, received approval for treating hypertension in 1984, and was the first new drug to be patented by a manufacturer of generic drugs. By 1995, Mylan had become the most dispensed line of pharmaceuticals in America, according to the December 2004 IMS National Prescription Audit. Sales of Mylan's generic drugs exceeded $1 billion in 2002, and in 2004 Mylan was added to the S&P 500.

In 2011, the company launched a generic version of famciclovir.[27]

In June 2015, the company agreed to co-develop Pulmatrixs clinical drug candidate, PUR0200, for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.[28]

Execution drugs

Mylan manufactures rocuronium bromide, which is approved by the state of Alabama for use in executions by lethal injection. European manufacturers refuse to sell drugs which can be used for executions to the United States, except to distributors or users who sign legally binding agreements that the drug will not be used for executions down the delivery chain.[29]

In September 2014, the London-based human rights organization Reprieve told Mylan that they were the only FDA-approved manufacturer of rocuronium bromide without legal controls in place to prevent its use in executions, and there was “a very real risk that Mylan may soon become the go-to provider of execution drugs for states across the country”. The German asset manager DJE Kapital divested itself of $70 million in Mylan shares for that reason. Mylan said that their distribution was “legally compliant”.[29]

In 1989, CEO Roy McKnight testified before the House Oversight and Investigations Committee, exposing fraud and corruption within the Food and Drug Administration's generic drugs division. The corruption came to light after Mylan had hired private detectives in 1987—"out of desperation"—to "snoop around the Food and Drug Administration, which it suspected had been stalling its applications to make new generic drugs". It also sued four competitors that had bribed the FDA under federal antitrust laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.[30]

In 2000, the company agreed to pay $147 million to settle accusations by the FTC that they had raised the price of generic lorazepam by 2,600% and generic clorazepate by 3,200%. Mylan obtained exclusive licensing agreements in 1998 for certain ingredients. The company did not admit to any wrongdoing.[31]
