#### Viatris Announces Agreement to Monetize its Equity Stake in Biocon Biologics Limited

*Viatris to Receive $400 Million in Cash and $415 Million in Equity Shares of Biocon Limited*

*Transaction Accelerates the Expiration of Biosimilars Non-Compete Restrictions*

**PITTSBURGH – December 6, 2025** – <u>**Viatris Inc**.</u> (Nasdaq: VTRS) today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with Biocon Limited ("Biocon") for the sale of Viatris' equity stake in Biocon Biologics Limited ("Biocon Biologics"). Under the definitive agreements, Biocon will acquire all of Viatris' convertible preferred equity in Biocon Biologics for total consideration of $815 million, consisting of $400 million in cash and $415 million in newly issued equity shares of Biocon.

"This agreement is another important step in Viatris' evolution," said **<u>Scott A. Smith</u>, Chief Executive Officer, Viatris.** "Monetizing the value of our equity stake in Biocon Biologics and regaining access to the biosimilars market globally provides significant additional optionality as we continue to build a portfolio of generics, established brands and innovative brands that can contribute to our future growth."

#### Key Terms of Transaction
Under the terms of the agreements, Viatris will sell its equity stake in Biocon Biologics to Biocon for $400 million in cash and $415 million in equity shares of Biocon Limited, which will be listed and traded on the National Stock Exchange of India.
