Transcription

History

GSK and Pfizer merged their consumer healthcare businesses in 2019.[8][9] GSK owned just over two thirds of the joint venture, and Pfizer held the remainder.[8]

GSK announced plans to spin-off Haleon in 2018, in order to give the "tired drugmaker extra focus and firepower by gearing up and hiving off the consumer division".[10]

Unilever offered £50 billion for the business in 2022, in a bid which GSK rejected.[11] Nestlé examined the possibility of a bid in conjunction with Reckitt.[12]

In October 2023, GSK reduced its ownership share in Haleon to just over 7.4%,[13] and again in January 2024 down to 4.2%.[14]

The ChapStick lip care brand was sold to Yellow Wood Partners for £401 million in 2024.[15]

In March 2024, Pfizer reduced its stake in Haleon from 32% to 24% by selling 630 million shares in a public offering.[16]

Operations

Oral health accounted for 28.5 percent of revenue in 2021.[17]
