London - Arabstoday

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is delaying a sale of its infant-nutrition business to give it more time to explore whether a tax-free spinoff will get more value for investors, said people with direct knowledge of the plans.Pfizer may send sales documents to suitors in November at the earliest, two months later than potential buyers had anticipated, said the people, who declined to be identified as they aren’t authorized to speak on the matter. A sale may fetch as much as $10.5 billion and attract interest from companies including Danone (BN), Abbott Laboratories (ABT) and Nestle SA (NESN), people with knowledge of the process said in July.The drugmaker, the world’s biggest, is concerned a sale may lead to an increased tax burden because it acquired the infant- nutrition unit less than three years ago, the people said. Pfizer may still opt to sell, they said. The company’s advisers are also still gathering information on the unit’s revenue and brands in Asia and other emerging markets, further slowing the process, said one of the people.By starting an auction later, Pfizer may succeed in waiting out the turmoil now gripping equity and debt markets. Last month, companies raised the least amount of leveraged loans since 2008 amid the worsening European sovereign debt crisis and the first credit downgrade for the U.S.“We’re continuing to explore strategic options for our nutrition business,” Joan Campion, a Pfizer spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. She said no decisions have been made regarding the evaluation. “This process is ongoing. As we previously said, we don’t anticipate making any further announcements until sometime in 2012. We expect to complete any transaction that may result from this evaluation in 12 to up to 24 months.”Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN), a competitor of Pfizer’s in baby formula, was spun off by former parent Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. in 2009. The stock has almost tripled since its trading debut, giving the Glenview, Illinois-based company a market value of about $14.8 billion.The Pfizer sale could be the largest of a vitamin or nutrition company in more than a decade, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The biggest deal in that sector was Carlyle Group’s $3.8 billion acquisition of vitamin maker NBTY Inc. last year, the data show.Pfizer disclosed plans to shed the business, as well as its animal-health division, more than two months ago. The New York- based drugmaker is receiving advice from Morgan Stanley and Centerview Partners on the infant-nutrition unit.Pfizer gained the formula division through its $68 billion purchase of Wyeth in 2009. The unit, which reported $1.9 billion in sales last year, makes the SMA Gold line of products for infants and children and Enercal supplements for adults.
