Pfizer Allergan deal ends as tax inversion rules bite
Pfizer and Allergan abandoned their 160 billion merger after new U S Treasury rules aimed at inversions. The move ends a plan to relocate Pfizer to Ireland for tax savings and follows Obama administration pressure to curb such deals. Allergan proceeds with Teva sale, while Pfizer weighs splitting its generic unit.
