The total amount includes an offering in which Pfizer sold 640 million Haleon common shares for gross proceeds of about 2.43 billion pounds, as well as Haleon's off-market purchase of about 60.5 million common shares from Pfizer for consideration of about 230 million pounds, both priced at 380 pence per share.
Deep Sea OP : The company will have more cash on hand
70523852 : Why sold so much shares?
70523852 : I guess my question is why would PFE want to sell so much shares of HLN. HLN still offers dividends. Since they sold them, wouldn’t that lower their future income? I can’t find any explanation on the purpose behind such a huge sell.
Deep Sea OP 70523852 : HLN got low dividend yield of less than 2%. Maybe PFE needs some cash to fund future acquisition of other companies.
70523852 Deep Sea OP : Got it. Thank you!
MonkeyGee : that's going to look good for next quarter
