DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-141486, (the "Registration Statement") which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2007 and registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities of Wyeth (the"Company").

On October 15, 2009, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of January 25, 2009, as amended, by and among the Company, Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer") and Wagner Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a subsidiary of Pfizer. As a result of the merger, each share of the Company's common stock, $0.33 1/3 par value per share (the "Common Stock") (other than shares of restricted stock (which received or are receiving cash consideration pursuant to separate terms of the Merger Agreement), shares of Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Company or Pfizer (which were cancelled as a result of the merger) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights were properly exercised and not withdrawn) was converted into the right to receive $33.00 in cash and 0.985 of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Pfizer, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax.

As a result of the merger, the Company has terminated any offering of the Company's securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
