Pfizer Intends to Sell Around 540 Million Ordinary Shares in Haleon

By Cristina Gallardo

 

Pfizer said it intends to sell around 540 million ordinary shares in British consumer-healthcare business Haleon, or about 5.9% of the company's issued share capital.

The pharmaceutical giant said Monday that the price per share will be determined by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process to institutional investors.

Pfizer will receive all net proceeds from the offering, it said.

In a separate statement, Haleon said it agreed to make an off-market purchase of approximately 230 million pounds ($307.7 million) worth of its ordinary shares from Pfizer.
