Abbott

has voluntarily chosen to express its support of Mylan, our strategic growth plan and stand-alone strategy, and our proposed combination with Perrigo. When we acquired

Abbott's

support of our long-term vision, which we firmly believe will continue to deliver strong near-term and long-term returns in this rapidly evolving industry and will promote the sustainable success of Mylan's business."
