Note 1.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  The following policies are required interim updates to those disclosed in Footnote 1 of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

  Stock-Based Compensation: The Company has four Stock Incentive Plans that it accounts for using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. All options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income other than for the Company’s restricted stock awards. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, Amendment of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee compensation:

Net income, as reported   $1,078,171   $749,703  
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense 
  included in reported net income, net of tax  4,477   2,493  
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation 
  expense determined under fair value-based method 
  for all awards, net of tax   (69,679 ) (85,143 )


Adjusted net income   $1,012,969   $667,053  


Earnings per share:  
  Basic - as reported   $0.81   $0.56  


  Basic - adjusted   $0.76   $0.50  


  Diluted - as reported   $0.80   $0.55  


  Diluted - adjusted   $0.75   $0.49  


 
  On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R). Statement 123R replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. This Statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense based on their fair values and over the vesting period of the award. Currently, the Company provides the required pro forma expense effect of the grants in its footnote disclosure. On April 14, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that, for public companies, delays the effective date of Statement 123R to annual, rather than interim periods that begin after June 15, 2005.

  The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on its results of operations and earnings per share beginning in 2006. However, the Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R because of changes in the Company’s share-based compensation programs.

  Goodwill and Other Intangibles: In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are as follows:

Note 2.       Earnings per Share

                   The following table sets forth the computations of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

   Common stock equivalents of assumed conversion 
    of contingently convertible debt(1)  16,890   16,890  


Total shares(2)   1,357,143   1,354,633  


Diluted earnings per share(1)(2)   $0.80   $0.55  


  (1) Diluted earnings per share reflects the impact of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-8 (EITF No. 04-8), Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share, which requires the inclusion of the dilutive effect from contingently convertible debt instruments with market price contingencies in the calculation of diluted earnings per share (EPS). Accordingly, interest expense on the Company’s contingently convertible debt, net of capitalized interest and taxes, is added back to reported net income, and the additional common shares (assuming conversion) are included in total shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. In accordance with EITF No. 04-8, which is effective for all periods ending after December 15, 2004 with restatement of previously reported diluted EPS calculations, the 2004 first quarter diluted EPS has been restated to reflect a $0.01 dilution as a result of the application of this Issue.

  (2) At March 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately 100,446 and 107,070 of common shares, respectively, related to options outstanding under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

Note 5.         Contingencies and Commitments

  The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and environmental matters, of a nature considered normal to its business. It is the Company’s policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable.

  In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with its legal proceedings (other than the diet drug litigation discussed immediately below) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position but could be material to the results of operations or cash flows in any one accounting period.

  Diet Drug Litigation
  The Company has been named as a defendant in numerous legal actions relating to the diet drugs PONDIMIN (which in combination with phentermine, a product that was not manufactured, distributed or sold by the Company, was commonly referred to as “fen-phen”) or REDUX, which the Company estimated were used in the United States, prior to their 1997 voluntary market withdrawal, by approximately 5.8 million people. These actions allege, among other things, that the use of REDUX and/or PONDIMIN, independently or in combination with phentermine, caused certain serious conditions, including valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). The REDUX and PONDIMIN litigation is described in additional detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

  On October 7, 1999, the Company announced a nationwide class action settlement (the settlement) to resolve litigation brought against the Company regarding the use of the diet drugs REDUX or PONDIMIN. The settlement covered all claims arising out of the use of REDUX or PONDIMIN, except for PPH claims, and was open to all REDUX or PONDIMIN users in the United States. As originally designed, the settlement was administered by an independent Settlement Trust and comprised of two settlement funds. Fund A (with a value at the time of settlement of $1,000.0 million plus $200.0 million for legal fees) was created to cover refunds, medical screening costs, additional medical services and cash payments, education and research costs, and administration costs. Fund A has been fully funded by contributions by the Company. Fund B (which was to be funded by the Company on an as-needed basis up to a total of $2,550.0 million) would compensate claimants with significant heart valve disease depending upon their age and the severity of their condition according to a five-level settlement matrix. The two funds have now been combined into a single fund. Payments in connection with the nationwide settlement were $96.0 million in the First Quarter of 2005. Payments may continue, if necessary, until 2018.

  In 2004, the Company increased its reserves in connection with the REDUX and PONDIMIN diet drug matters by $4,500.0 million, bringing the total of the charges taken to date to $21,100.0 million. The $6,876.7 million reserve balance at March 31, 2005 represents management’s best estimate, within a range of outcomes, of the aggregate amount required to cover diet drug litigation costs, including payments in connection with the nationwide settlement (as it would be amended by the proposed Seventh Amendment, discussed below), initial opt outs, PPH claims, downstream opt out

12


WYETH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  cases and the Company’s legal fees related to the diet drug litigation. The latest charge by the Company takes into account the terms of the proposed Seventh Amendment, the Company’s settlement discussions with plaintiffs’ attorneys representing a number of individuals who have opted out of the nationwide settlement, its experiences with the downstream opt out cases that have been litigated or settled to date and its projected expenses in connection with the diet drug litigation. However, due to the need for final appellate court approval of the proposed Seventh Amendment, the preliminary status of the Company’s settlement discussions with attorneys representing certain downstream opt out plaintiffs, the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to consummate settlements with the downstream opt out plaintiffs, the number and amount of any future verdicts that may be returned in downstream opt out and PPH litigation, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding any litigation, it is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future and the amount of such additional reserves may be significant.

  The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and believes it can marshal significant resources and legal defenses to limit its ultimate liability in the diet drug litigation. However, in light of the circumstances discussed above, it is not possible to predict the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with its diet drug legal proceedings. It is therefore not possible to predict whether, and if so when, such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows and whether cash flows from operating activities and existing and prospective financing resources will be adequate to fund the Company’s operations, pay all liabilities related to the diet drug litigation, pay dividends, maintain the ongoing programs of capital expenditures, and repay both the principal and interest on its outstanding obligations without the disposition of significant strategic core assets and/or reductions in certain cash outflows.

  Seventh Amendment to the Nationwide Settlement
  During 2004, the Company, counsel for the plaintiff class in the nationwide settlement and counsel for certain individual class members negotiated a proposed Seventh Amendment to the settlement agreement that would create a new claims processing structure, funding arrangement and payment schedule for claims for compensation based on Levels I and II of the five-level settlement matrix. These claims are the most numerous, but least serious, of the claims filed for matrix benefits. The total number of currently filed Level I and Level II claims posed the risk that the Settlement Trust’s funds might be exhausted.

  On March 15, 2005, United States District Judge Harvey Bartle III, the federal judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania overseeing the settlement, approved the proposed Seventh Amendment as “fair, adequate and reasonable.” Appeals from Judge Bartle’s decision have been filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Briefing and argument of the appeals before the Third Circuit has not yet been scheduled. If upheld on appeal, the proposed Seventh Amendment would include the following key terms:

13


WYETH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  o The amendment would create a new Supplemental Fund, to be administered by a Fund Administrator who will be appointed by the District Court and who will process most pending Level I and Level II matrix claims;
  o After District Court approval, the Company would make initial payments of up to $50.0 million to facilitate the establishment of the Supplemental Fund and to begin reviewing claims. Following affirmance by the Third Circuit of the District Court’s approval and the exhaustion of any further appellate review, the Company would make an initial payment of $400.0 million to enable the Supplemental Fund to begin paying claims. The timing of additional payments would be dictated by the rate of review and payment of claims by the Fund Administrator. The Company would ultimately deposit a total of $1,275.0 million, net of certain credits, into the Supplemental Fund;
  o All participating matrix Level I and Level II claimants who qualify under the Seventh Amendment, who pass the Settlement Fund’s medical review and who otherwise satisfy the requirements of the settlement (Category One class members) would receive a pro rata share of the $1,275.0 million Supplemental Fund, after deduction of certain expenses and other amounts from the Supplemental Fund. The pro rata amount would vary depending upon the number of claimants who pass medical review, the nature of their claims, their age and other factors. A participating Category One class member who does not qualify for a payment after such medical review would be paid $2,000 from the Supplemental Fund;
  o Participating class members who might in the future have been eligible to file Level I and Level II matrix claims (Category Two class members) would be eligible to receive a $2,000 payment from the Trust; such payments would be funded by the Company apart from its other funding obligations under the nationwide settlement;
  o If the participants in the Seventh Amendment have heart valve surgery or other more serious medical conditions on Levels III through V of the nationwide settlement matrix by the earlier of 15 years from the date of their last diet drug ingestion or by December 31, 2011, they would remain eligible to submit claims to the existing Trust and be paid the current matrix amounts if they qualify for such payments under terms modified by the Seventh Amendment. In the event the existing Trust is unable to pay those claims, the Company would guarantee payment; and
  o All class members who participate in the Seventh Amendment would give up any further opt out rights as well as the right to challenge the terms of and the binding effect of the nationwide settlement. Final approval of the Seventh Amendment also would preclude any lawsuits by the Trust or the Company to recover any amounts previously paid to class members by the Trust, as well as terminate the Claims Integrity Program (discussed below) as to all claimants who do not opt out of the Seventh Amendment.

  On March 29, 2005, as collateral for the Company’s financial obligations under the Seventh Amendment, the Company established a security fund in the amount of $1,250.0 million. As of March 31, 2005, $660.0 million was included in Other current assets

14


WYETH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  including deferred taxes and $590.0 million was included in Other assets including deferred taxes. The amounts in the security fund are owned by the Company and will earn interest income for the Company while residing in the security fund.

  There can be no assurance that the proposed Seventh Amendment will be upheld on appeal. If it is upheld on appeal, only the claims of those class members who opted out of the Seventh Amendment will be processed under the terms of the existing settlement agreement and under the procedures that have been adopted by the Settlement Trust and the District Court. Less than 5% of the class members who would be affected by the proposed Seventh Amendment (approximately 1,900 of the Category One class members and approximately 5,100 of the Category Two class members) elected to opt out of the Seventh Amendment and to remain bound by the current settlement terms. Should the proposed Seventh Amendment not be upheld on appeal, all of the pending and future matrix claims would be processed under the terms of the existing settlement agreement.

  Nationwide Settlement Matrix Claims Data
  The settlement agreement grants the Company access to claims data maintained by the Settlement Trust. Based on its review of that data, the Company understands that, as of March 30, 2005, the Trust had recorded approximately 121,270 matrix claim forms. Approximately 33,285 of these forms were so deficient, incomplete or duplicative of other forms filed by the same claimant that, in the Company’s view, it is unlikely that a significant number of these forms will result in further claims processing.

  The Company’s understanding of the status of the remaining approximately 87,985 forms, based on its analysis of data received from the Trust through March 30, 2005, is as follows. Approximately 24,635 of the matrix claims had been processed to completion, with those claims either paid (approximately 3,975 payments, totaling $1.441 billion, had been made to approximately 3,790 claimants), denied or in show cause proceedings (approximately 19,035) or withdrawn. Approximately 2,150 claims were in some stage of the 100% audit process ordered in late 2002 by the District Court overseeing the national settlement. An additional approximately 18,255 claims alleged conditions that, if true, would entitle the claimant to receive a matrix award; these claims had not yet entered the audit process. Another approximately 24,035 claims with similar allegations have been purportedly substantiated by physicians or filed by law firms whose claims are now subject to the outcome of the Trust’s Claims Integrity Program.(1) Approximately 18,855 claim forms did not contain sufficient information even to assert a matrix claim, although some of those claim forms could be made complete by the submission of additional information and could therefore become eligible to proceed to audit in the future. The remaining approximately 55 claims were in the data entry process and could not be assessed.

  Challenges to the Nationwide Settlement
  Counsel representing approximately 8,600 class members have filed a motion with the District Court seeking a ruling that the nationwide settlement agreement is void. The motion asserts that there was inadequate representation of the class when the settlement

15


WYETH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  agreement was negotiated, that the parties and their experts made mutual mistakes in projecting the amount of money that would be needed to pay all valid claims, that the original notice to the class was inadequate and that the Court had lacked subject matter jurisdiction over some of the class members’ claims. The motion seeks an opportunity for all class members to decide a second time whether or not to be included in the class and therefore bound by the settlement agreement. The District Court had stayed briefing and consideration of the motion pending its decision on approval of the proposed Seventh Amendment, which as discussed above would preclude such claims on behalf of class members who participate. A new schedule for briefing of the motion has not been set.

  Certain class members also have filed a number of other motions and lawsuits attacking both the binding effect of the settlement and the administration of the Trust, some of which have been decided against class members and currently are on appeal. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any of these motions or lawsuits.

  Downstream Opt Out Cases
  As of March 31, 2005, approximately 62,000 individuals who had filed Intermediate or Back-End opt out forms had pending lawsuits against the Company. The claims of approximately 48% of the plaintiffs in the Intermediate and Back-End opt out cases served on the Company are pending in Federal Court, with approximately 38% pending in State Courts. The claims of approximately 14% of the Intermediate and Back-End opt out plaintiffs have been removed from State Courts to Federal Court but are still subject to a possible remand to State Court. In addition, a large number of plaintiffs have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to review and reverse orders entered by the Federal Court overseeing the settlement which had denied the plaintiffs’ motions to remand their cases to State Court. As of March 31, 2005, approximately 2,875 Intermediate or Back-End opt out plaintiffs have had their lawsuits dismissed for procedural or medical deficiencies or for various other reasons.

  The claims of 13 class members who had taken advantage of the Intermediate and Back-End opt out rights created in the nationwide settlement went to verdict from January 1 through April 29, 2005. Three of those verdicts were returned in favor of plaintiffs, in the aggregate amount of less than $50,000, at the close of the initial stage of a trial bifurcated to consider medical causation and damages in the first phase and liability in the second phase. A verdict in the amount of $50,000 was returned in favor of another plaintiff in a similarly bifurcated trial. Those cases have since been settled. Seven of the verdicts were defense verdicts in favor of the Company at the close of the initial phase in similarly bifurcated trials. The remaining two verdicts involved cases in which the jury initially found in favor of the plaintiffs for $5 million and $500,000 respectively, but subsequently found for the Company during the liability phase, thereby negating the earlier damage finding. A number of additional cases were settled, dismissed or adjourned during the first quarter of 2005. Additional Intermediate and Back-End opt out trials are scheduled throughout 2005 and 2006.

16


WYETH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  On January 18, 2005, the Company and counsel representing certain downstream opt out plaintiffs filed a motion with the District Court advising the Court that those parties had developed a proposed process by which large numbers of the downstream opt out cases might be negotiated and settled. The proposed process provides a methodology for valuing different categories of claims and also provides a structure for individualized negotiations between Wyeth and lawyers representing diet drug claimants. Counsel for more than half of the plaintiffs with pending Intermediate and Back-End Opt Out lawsuits have agreed to participate in the process and the Company is moving forward with settlement discussions with those attorneys. However, the Company cannot predict the number of cases that might be settled as a result of such a process.

  PPH Cases
  On April 27, 2004, a jury in Beaumont, Texas hearing the case of Coffey, et al. v. Wyeth, et al., No. E-167,334, 172nd Judicial District Court, Jefferson Cty., TX, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $113.4 million in compensatory damages and $900.0 million in punitive damages for the wrongful death of the plaintiffs’ decedent, allegedly as a result of PPH caused by her use of PONDIMIN. On May 17, 2004, the Trial Court entered judgment on behalf of the plaintiffs for the full amount of the jury’s verdict, as well as $4.2 million in pre-judgment interest and $188,737 in guardian ad litem fees. On July 26, 2004, the Trial Court denied in their entirety the Company’s motions for a new trial or for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, including the Company’s request for application of Texas’ statutory cap on punitive damage awards. The Company has filed an appeal from the judgment entered by the Trial Court and believes that it has strong arguments for reversal or reduction of the awards on appeal due to the significant number of legal errors made during trial and in the charge to the jury and due to a lack of evidence to support aspects of the verdict. In connection with its appeal, the Company was required by Texas law to post a bond in the amount of $25.0 million. The Company filed its brief in support of the appeal on April 14, 2005. Oral argument is not expected until later in 2005.

  As of April 15, 2005, the Company was a defendant in approximately 375 pending lawsuits in which the plaintiff alleges a claim of PPH, alone or with other alleged injuries. Almost all of these claimants must meet the definition of PPH set forth in the national settlement agreement in order to pursue their claims outside of the national settlement (payment of such claims, by settlement or judgment, would be made by the Company and not by the Trust). Approximately 75 of these cases appear to be eligible to pursue a PPH lawsuit under the terms of the national settlement. In approximately 10 of the 375 cases, the Company expects the PPH claims to be voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs (although they may continue to pursue other claims). In approximately 125 of these cases, the Company has filed or expects to file motions under the terms of the national settlement to preclude plaintiffs from proceeding with their PPH claims. For the balance of these cases, the Company currently has insufficient medical information to assess whether or not the plaintiffs meet the definition of PPH under the national settlement. The Company is aware of approximately 10 additional PPH claims which are not currently the subject of a lawsuit but which appear to meet the settlement’s PPH

  definition. The Company continues to work toward resolving the claims of individuals who allege that they have developed PPH as a result of their use of the diet drugs and intends to vigorously defend those PPH cases that cannot be resolved prior to trial.

  (1) Pursuant to its Claims Integrity Program, the Settlement Trust has required additional information concerning matrix claims purportedly substantiated by 18 identified physicians or filed by two law firms in order to determine whether to permit those claims to proceed to the 100% audit process established by the District Court. Based upon data obtained from the Trust, the Company believes that approximately 24,035 matrix claims were purportedly substantiated by the 18 physicians and/or filed by the two law firms covered by the Claims Integrity Program as of March 30, 2005. It is the Company’s understanding that additional claims substantiated by additional physicians or filed by additional law firms might be subjected to the same requirements of the Claims Integrity Program in the future. The ultimate disposition of any or all claims that are subject to the Claims Integrity Program is at this time uncertain. Counsel for certain claimants affected by the program have challenged the Trust’s authority to implement the Claims Integrity Program and to require completion of the questionnaire before determining whether to permit those claims to proceed to audit. While that motion was denied by the Court, additional challenges to the Claims Integrity Program and to the Trust’s matrix claim processing have been filed. The Trust has also instituted civil litigation alleging fraud on the part of two physicians who substantiated matrix claims. As indicated above, following final judicial approval of the Seventh Amendment, the Claims Integrity Program will be terminated as to all claimants who have not opted out of the Seventh Amendment.

Item 2.       Results of Operations

  Overview
  Wyeth is one of the world’s largest research-based pharmaceutical and health care products companies and is a leader in the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals, biologicals, vaccines, non-prescription medicines and animal health care. The Company has four reportable segments: Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (Pharmaceuticals), Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Consumer Healthcare), Fort Dodge Animal Health (Animal Health) and Corporate, which are managed separately because they manufacture, distribute and sell distinct products and provide services which require differing technologies and marketing strategies. These segments reflect how senior management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions, and assesses operating performance.

  Our Pharmaceuticals segment, which provided 81% of our worldwide net revenue for the first three months of 2005 and 80% for the first three months of 2004, manufactures, distributes and sells branded human ethical pharmaceuticals, biologicals and nutritionals. Principal products include neuroscience therapies, cardiovascular products, nutritionals, gastroenterology drugs, anti-infectives, vaccines, oncology therapies, musculoskeletal therapies, hemophilia treatments, immunology products and women’s health care products. These products are promoted and sold worldwide primarily to wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, physicians, retailers and other human health care institutions.

  The Consumer Healthcare segment, which provided approximately 14% of our worldwide net revenue for the first three months of 2005 and 15% for the first three months of 2004, manufactures, distributes and sells over-the-counter health care products, which include analgesics, cough/cold/allergy remedies, nutritional supplements, and hemorrhoidal, asthma and personal care items. These products generally are sold to wholesalers and retailers and are promoted primarily to consumers worldwide through advertising.

  Our Animal Health segment, which provided 5% of our worldwide net revenue for the first three months of both 2005 and 2004, manufactures, distributes, and sells animal biological and pharmaceutical products, including vaccines, pharmaceuticals, parasite control and growth implants. These products are sold to wholesalers, retailers, veterinarians and other animal health care institutions.

  The Corporate segment is responsible for the treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company’s businesses. It maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company that are not allocated to the other reportable segments.

  Wyeth exhibited strong revenue growth for the 2005 first three months, achieving a 14% increase in worldwide net revenue compared with the first three months of 2004.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

  Pharmaceuticals had net revenue of $3,717.5 million for the 2005 first three months, representing growth of 16% over the 2004 first three months, which was driven by the strong performance of several key products:

o
o
o
 
o
o
EFFEXOR (a neuroscience therapy) - up 12% to $868.5 million
PREVNAR (a vaccine) - up 126% to $391.1 million
ENBREL (a musculoskeletal therapy) - up 75% (internationally, where the Company has exclusive marketing rights) to $237.0 million
ZOSYN/TAZOCIN (an infectious disease drug) - up 26% to $229.3 million
RAPAMUNE (an immunology product) - up 24% to $72.1 million

  Collectively, sales of these products increased 36% for the first three months of 2005 compared with the first three months of 2004.

  In September 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an updated recommendation for the use of PREVNAR reinstating the full, four-dose vaccination schedule. In August 2004, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) announced a return to the normal dosing schedule for PREVNAR in Europe. First quarter net revenue growth for PREVNAR reflected a return to the full dose vaccination schedule, the resolution of manufacturing issues that limited production and a catch-up of deferred doses from the 2004 first half that resulted from supply constraints.

  Other areas of revenue growth for the Pharmaceuticals segment for the 2005 first three months included nutritionals, ZOTON, BENEFIX and rhBMP-2 and alliance revenue predominantly from sales of ENBREL (in North America).

  PROTONIX net revenue for the first three months of 2005 of $409.4 million was comparable with the first three months of 2004. PROTONIX business is shifting from the more heavily discounted Medicaid segment to the less heavily discounted third party managed care segment. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2005 and, despite an anticipated decline in the rate of overall prescription volume growth, it is expected to have a positive impact on profitability.

  Growth in EFFEXOR revenue is moderating, reflecting several factors. The antidepressant category is maturing and growth overall has slowed. In addition, negative publicity regarding antidepressants and increased concern about the use of these products in children and adolescents have had an impact. In late 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed all manufacturers of antidepressant medications to implement labeling changes regarding the use of these agents and the risk of suicidality in children and adolescents. In March 2005, we implemented these labeling changes. EFFEXOR has never been recommended for use in children and continues to be an appropriate and important therapy in treating adult patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder.

  In July 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it was discontinuing a portion of its Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study assessing the value of combination estrogen plus progestin therapy, and, in early March 2004, the portion of the study addressing estrogen-only therapy also was discontinued. In March 2005, an independent panel, meeting in conjunction with the NIH-sponsored conference on the Management of Menopause-Related Symptoms, issued a statement supporting the use of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) for the management of moderate to severe menopausal symptoms and agreed that HT remains the most consistently effective therapy for treating menopausal symptoms. We remain committed to women’s health care and stand behind the PREMARIN family of products as the standard of therapy to help women address serious menopausal symptoms. We introduced low-dose versions of PREMARIN and PREMPRO in 2003, launched a direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising campaign featuring PREMPRO 0.3 mg/1.5 mg in 2004, and launched a DTC advertising campaign for PREMARIN in March 2005. Despite these efforts, sales of the PREMARIN family of products declined from $265.9 million for the 2004 first quarter to $210.9 million for the 2005 first quarter; however, the launch of low-dose PREMARIN and PREMPRO has helped to moderate the decrease in sales. The decline also reflects a reduction of inventory levels in the wholesale channel in the 2005 first quarter.

  Both Consumer Healthcare and Animal Health posted increases in net revenue for the 2005 first quarter over the 2004 first quarter. Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 5% for the 2005 first quarter primarily from increased sales of ROBITUSSIN, ADVIL and CALTRATE brands. Animal Health net revenue increased 12% for the 2005 first quarter, reflecting higher sales of companion animal and livestock products despite the impact of the voluntary recall of PROHEART 6 in the U.S. market in September 2004.

  In order for us to sustain the growth of our core group of products, we must continue to meet the global demand of our customers. Two of our important core products, PREVNAR and ENBREL, are biological products that are extremely complicated and difficult to manufacture. We continue to seek to improve manufacturing processes and overcome production issues. With respect to PREVNAR, during 2004, upgrades and improvements were made to the Wyeth manufacturing facilities and additional vial filling capacity became available through a third-party filler. Regulatory approval of pre-filled syringes from another third-party filler for Europe has been received and launch of pre-filled syringes in Europe is anticipated for mid-year 2005. Pre-filled syringes from Wyeth and the third-party filler are expected, pending regulatory approval, to be launched in the U.S. in early 2006. Overall, we expect to meet our 2005 PREVNAR production goal of 25 – 28 million doses.

  We anticipate regulatory approval in 2005 for the production of ENBREL at our Grange Castle, Ireland site as well as at Amgen Inc.‘s (Amgen) BioNext facility in Rhode Island.

  This expected additional manufacturing capacity should help ENBREL reach its full commercial potential, although, as is typical for new biological manufacturing facilities, margins are expected to be affected during at least the initial year of production. In late March 2005, ENBREL was launched for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Japan, where it is co-promoted by Wyeth and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited (Takeda). Early in April 2005, we increased our ownership from 60% to 70% in our joint venture with Takeda.

  We have entered into inventory management agreements with the majority of our full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers in the U.S., whereby the wholesalers have agreed to maintain inventory at certain targeted levels in return for the opportunity to buy specific amounts of product at pre-price increase prices whenever Wyeth implements a price increase. As a result, we, along with our wholesaler partners, are able to manage product flow and inventory levels in a way that more closely follows trends in prescriptions. Subsequent to the execution of these inventory management agreements, our largest wholesale customers have requested that we enter into revised agreements based on services performed. The wholesalers have indicated they may discontinue purchasing Wyeth’s pharmaceutical products upon expiration of the current inventory management agreements, which occurs in 2005, unless we enter into the new compensation arrangements. We are currently in discussions with these wholesalers but cannot predict whether changes in the contractual arrangements will occur.

  Our principal strategy for future success is based on research and development (R&D) innovations, hence the significant increase in our R&D spending planned for 2005, which we expect to reach about $2,700.0 million. We intend to leverage our breadth of knowledge and resources across three scientific development platforms (traditional pharmaceuticals, biologicals and vaccines) to produce first-in-class and best-in-class therapies for significant unmet medical needs around the world. Late in 2004, we submitted a global registration filing for TYGACIL, an innovative broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic for serious, hospital-based infections. In January 2005, this application was given priority review status by the FDA in the United States, which could lead to its approval and market introduction later in 2005. We also plan to file New Drug Applications (NDA) for six additional products in the next 18 months.

  We continue to address the challenges of the Company’s diet drug litigation. As discussed in more detail in Note 5 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, on March 15, 2005, the proposed Seventh Amendment to the National Diet Drug Settlement was approved as “fair, adequate and reasonable.” This is an important milestone not only for the Seventh Amendment itself but also for the National Diet Drug Settlement in general. The Seventh Amendment would create a new claims processing structure, funding arrangement and payment schedule for matrix Level I or II claims, the least serious but most numerous matrix claims in the Settlement. The amendment would ensure that these claims are processed on a streamlined basis, while preserving funds in the existing Trust for more serious claims. Several appeals have been filed challenging

23

  the approval of the Seventh Amendment; however, briefing and argument on these appeals has not yet been scheduled.

  In January 2005, we announced that the Company was in discussions with plaintiffs’ attorneys representing a number of individuals who have opted out of the National Diet Drug Settlement on a proposed process for settling downstream opt out cases. The proposed process provides a methodology for valuing different categories of claims and also provides a structure for individualized negotiations between the Company and lawyers representing diet drug claimants. To date, attorneys representing more than half of the downstream opt out cases have agreed to participate in this process and we are proceeding with the individual negotiations. Negotiations will take place with over one hundred individual attorneys representing thousands of downstream opt out plaintiffs. Documentation supporting the claims must be produced and reviewed and settlements of some categories of claims will require individualized negotiations between that attorney and the Company. As we move forward, additional attorneys may agree to participate in the process and some who have previously agreed may decide to withdraw their participation. We will continue to try those cases where attorneys are not willing to participate in this settlement process.

  Generally, we face the same difficult challenges that all research-based pharmaceutical companies are confronting. Pressure from government agencies and consumers to lower prices either through leveraged purchasing plans, importation or reduced reimbursement for prescription drugs poses significant challenges for our Company. Health care providers and the general public want more information about our products, and they want it delivered efficiently and effectively. Regulatory burdens are increasing the demands on our Company, and they increase both the cost and time it takes to bring new drugs to market. We also are faced with the moderating rate of growth of some of our major products. We intend to embark on a series of long-term initiatives throughout 2005 to address these changing conditions with the objective of making Wyeth more efficient, more effective and more profitable so that we may continue to thrive in this increasingly challenging pharmaceutical environment.

  Net Revenue

  Worldwide net revenue increased 14% for the 2005 first quarter compared with prior year levels and was due to increases in the Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare and Animal Health segments. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide net revenue increased 12% for the 2005 first quarter.

Total  $4,579.0   $4,014.8   14% 



  Pharmaceuticals

  Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 16% for the 2005 first quarter. The increases in net revenue were due primarily to higher sales of EFFEXOR XR, PREVNAR, ENBREL (internationally), ZOSYN/TAZOCIN, RAPAMUNE, nutritionals, ZOTON, BENEFIX and rhBMP-2. Higher sales of PREVNAR reflected a return to the full dose vaccination schedule, the resolution of manufacturing issues that limited production in 2004 and a catch-up of deferred doses from the 2004 first half that resulted from supply constraints. Increases in net revenue were also attributable to higher alliance revenue for the 2005 first quarter primarily as a result of higher sales of ENBREL in North America. The increases in net revenue were offset, in part, by lower sales of the PREMARIN family of products as a result of lower prescription volume and a continued reduction of inventory levels in the wholesale channel. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 14% for the 2005 first quarter.

  The Company deducts certain items from gross revenue, which primarily consist of provisions for product returns, cash discounts, chargebacks/rebates, customer allowances and consumer sales incentives. The provision for chargebacks/rebates relates primarily to U.S. sales of pharmaceutical products provided to wholesalers and managed care organizations under contractual agreements or to certain governmental agencies that administer benefit programs, such as Medicaid. While different programs and methods are utilized to determine the chargeback or rebate provided to the customer, the Company considers both to be a form of price reduction. Chargebacks/rebates are the only deductions from gross revenue that are considered significant by the Company and approximated $612.7 million for the 2005 first quarter compared with $532.9 million for the 2004 first quarter. The increase in chargebacks/rebates for the 2005 first quarter was due primarily to higher rebate rates and increased volumes of PROTONIX in the managed care segment.

  Except for chargebacks/rebates, provisions for each of the other components of sales deductions, including product returns, are individually less than 2% of gross sales. The provisions charged against gross sales for product returns for 2005 and 2004 were $56.9 million and $75.7 million, respectively.

  Operating Expenses

  Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of Net revenue, increased to 29.5% for the 2005 first quarter compared with 28.9% for the 2004 first quarter due primarily to higher inventory and manufacturing losses in the Pharmaceuticals segment. The decrease in gross margin was also due to higher royalty costs as a result of higher sales of ENBREL, ZOTON and PREVNAR offset, in part, by an increase in alliance revenue.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% while Net revenue increased at a rate of 14% for 2005 as compared with 2004. This difference is primarily attributable to the significant increase in net revenue of PREVNAR and ENBREL, which generally require lower promotional spending than mass-marketed Pharmaceuticals products. In addition, net revenue of EFFEXOR also increased significantly as compared with 2004 while promotional spending decreased. The 2005 first quarter was also impacted by higher selling expenses related to an increase in sales force in Japan to support the launch of ENBREL as well as pre-launch spending for TYGACIL in the Pharmaceuticals segment.

  Research and development expenses decreased 14% for the 2005 first quarter as compared with 2004 primarily due to the non-recurrence of the upfront payment and charge in the 2004 first quarter of $145.5 million made in connection with the agreement entered into between the Company and Solvay to co-develop and co-commercialize four neuroscience compounds, most notably, bifeprunox. The 2005 first three months also reflects the impact of lower clinical grant spending in the Pharmaceuticals segment and higher other research operating expenses (including higher chemicals and materials expenses).

  Interest Expense and Other Income

  Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following:

  capital projects  (7.8 ) (20.5 )


Total interest expense, net  $30.0   $26.9  


  Interest expense, net increased 12% for the 2005 first quarter due primarily to lower capitalized interest and higher interest expense offset, in part, by higher interest income. Weighted average debt outstanding during the 2005 first quarter was $7,912.8 million

30


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

  compared with the prior year level of $8,695.0 million. The impact of lower weighted average debt outstanding on interest expense was offset by an increase in interest rates, partially offset by an increase in interest income earned on higher cash balances in 2005 versus 2004. The lower capitalized interest resulted from reduced spending for long-term capital projects in process. These projects include the expansion of existing manufacturing facilities in Ireland and Puerto Rico.

  Other income, net increased $57.7 million for the 2005 first quarter primarily as a result of the sale of a nutritionals manufacturing facility and income received in connection with a settlement regarding certain environmental issues. Other income, net was also impacted by pre-tax gains from the divestiture of certain Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare products of approximately $138.5 million and $140.7 million in the 2005 and 2004 first quarter, respectively. The 2005 divestitures included product rights to SYNVISC and EPOCLER (in Brazil). The 2004 divestitures included product rights to indiplon, DIAMOX (in Japan), and the Company’s nutritionals products in France. The sales, profits and net assets of these divested products, individually or in the aggregate, were not material to either business segment or the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

  Worldwide Pharmaceuticals income before income taxes for the 2005 first quarter increased 42%. The increase for the 2005 first quarter was due primarily to higher net revenue and lower selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, offset in part, by decreased gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Pharmaceuticals products. The increase in income before income taxes is also attributable to lower research and development expenses primarily due to the non-recurrence of the upfront payment to Solvay.

  Worldwide Consumer Healthcare income before income taxes for the 2005 first quarter increased 11%. The increase for the 2005 first quarter was due primarily to higher net revenue, increased gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Consumer Healthcare products and higher other income, net related to product divestiture gains.

  Worldwide Animal Health income before income taxes increased 36% for the 2005 first quarter due primarily to higher net revenue and lower selling and general expenses offset in part, by decreased gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Animal Health products.

  Corporate expenses, net for the 2005 first quarter were $37.4 million compared with $75.4 million for the 2004 first quarter. The decrease for the 2005 first quarter was due primarily to higher other income, net related to the sale of a manufacturing facility and income received in connection with a settlement regarding certain environmental issues.

  Income Taxes

  The effective tax rates were 21.5% and 20.6% for the 2005 and 2004 first quarter, respectively. Excluding certain items affecting comparability (as discussed below under “Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Results”), the 2004 first quarter effective tax rate was 22.5%.

  Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Results

  Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2005 first quarter were $1,078.2 million and $0.80, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $749.7 million and $0.55 in the prior year, increases of 44% and 45%, respectively.

  The Company’s management uses various measures to manage and evaluate the Company’s performance and believes it is appropriate to specifically identify certain significant items included in net income and diluted earnings per share to assist investors with analyzing ongoing business performance and trends. In particular, the Company’s management believes that comparisons between the 2005 and 2004 first three months results of operations are influenced by the impact of the 2004 first quarter upfront payment of $145.5 million ($94.6 million after-tax or $0.07 per share-diluted) to Solvay that is

32


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

  included in net income and diluted earnings per share. The significant upfront payment related to the co-development and co-commercialization of the four neuroscience compounds being developed with Solvay, which was immediately expensed and included in Research and development expenses, has been identified by the Company’s management when evaluating the Company’s performance. Isolating this item when reviewing the Company’s results provides a more appropriate view of operations for these accounting periods.

  Excluding the Solvay payment, the increases in net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2005 first quarter were due primarily to higher net revenue, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, and higher other income, net, offset, in part, by higher cost of goods sold and higher research and development spending.

  Gains from product divestitures constitute an integral part of the Company’s analysis of divisional performance and are important to understanding changes in our reported net income. Gains from product divestitures for the 2005 first three months were $138.5 million ($90.1 million after-tax or $0.07 per share-diluted) compared with $140.7 million ($92.5 million after-tax or $0.07 per share-diluted) for the 2004 first three months.

  Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

  Cash flows used for operating activities totaling $569.5 million during the 2005 first three months were generated primarily by net earnings of $1,078.2 million, offset by the establishment of the Seventh Amendment security fund of $1,250.0 million, payments of $303.8 million for working capital requirements and payments of $289.6 million related to the diet drug litigation (see Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements). The change in working capital, which used $303.8 million of cash as of March 31, 2005, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $263.7 million relating to timing of payments and an increase in accounts receivable of $70.8 million relating to increased sales. The change in working capital, which used $230.6 million of cash as of March 31, 2004, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primarily consisted of a decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $310.3 million relating to timing of payments, a decrease in accrued taxes of $75.8 million due to timing of payments offset, in part, by a decrease in other current assets of $101.4 million due to receipt of payments and a decrease in accounts receivable of $79.8 million due to increased collections.

  During the 2005 first three months, the Company received investment proceeds through the sales and maturities of marketable securities of $1,067.2 million and the sales of assets totaling $171.0 million. The proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities were primarily used to fund the Seventh Amendment security fund. In addition, the Company used $213.0 million of cash for investments in property, plant and equipment and $21.0 million of cash for purchases of marketable securities. The capital expenditures made during the 2005 first three months were consistent with the

  In light of the circumstances discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements, including the unknown number of valid matrix claims and the unknown number and merits of valid downstream opt outs, it is not possible to predict the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with its diet drug legal proceedings. It is therefore not possible to predict whether, and if so when, such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows and whether cash flows from operating activities and existing and prospective financing resources will be adequate to fund the Company’s operations, pay all liabilities related to the diet drug litigation, pay dividends, maintain the ongoing programs of capital expenditures, and repay both the principal and interest on its outstanding obligations without the disposition of significant strategic core assets and/or reductions in certain cash outflows.

Certain Factors that May Affect Future Results

  Prempro / Premarin – HT Studies

  In July 2002, the hormone therapy (HT) subset of the WHI study, involving women who received a combination of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate (PREMPRO), was stopped early (after the patients were followed in the study for an

34


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

  average of 5.2 years) because, according to the predefined stopping rule, certain increased risks exceeded the specified long-term benefits. Additional analyses of data from the HT subset of the WHI study were released during 2003, and further analyses of WHI data may be released in the future.

  In March 2004, the NIH announced preliminary findings from the estrogen-only arm of the WHI study and stated that it had decided to stop the study because it believed that the results would not likely change during the period until completion of the study in 2005 and that the increased risk of stroke seen in the treatment arm could not be justified by what could be learned in an additional year of treatment. NIH concluded that estrogen alone does not appear to affect (either increase or decrease) coronary heart disease and did not increase the risk of breast cancer. In addition, NIH found an association with a decrease in the risk of hip fracture. This increased risk of stroke was similar to the increase seen in the HT subset of the WHI study. NIH also stated that analysis of preliminary data from the separate Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS) showed an increased risk of probable dementia and/or mild cognitive impairment in women age 65 and older when data from both the PREMARIN and PREMPRO arms were pooled. The study also reported a trend toward increased risk of possible dementia in women treated with PREMARIN alone. WHIMS data published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in June 2004 and in a separate report published in JAMA at the same time indicated that HT did not improve cognitive impairment and may adversely affect it in some women. The Company is working with the FDA to update the labeling for its HT products to include the latest data.

Competition

  The Company operates in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and consumer health care industries. PREMARIN, the Company’s principal conjugated estrogens product manufactured from pregnant mare’s urine, and related products PREMPRO and PREMPHASE (which are single tablet combinations of the conjugated estrogens in PREMARIN and the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate) are the leaders in their categories and contribute significantly to net revenue and results of operations. PREMARIN’s natural composition is not subject to patent protection (although PREMPRO has patent protection). PREMARIN, PREMPRO and PREMPHASE are indicated for the treatment of certain menopausal symptoms. They also are approved for the prevention of osteoporosis, a condition involving a loss of bone mass in postmenopausal women. Their use for that purpose in women without symptoms should be limited to cases where non-hormonal treatments have been seriously considered and rejected. Estrogen-containing products manufactured by other companies have been marketed for many years for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. During the past several years, other manufacturers have introduced products for the treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis. New products containing different estrogens and/or different progestins from those found in PREMPRO and PREMPHASE, utilizing various forms of delivery and having many forms of the same indications, have been introduced. Some companies also have attempted to obtain approval for generic versions of PREMARIN.

  These products, if approved, would be routinely substitutable for PREMARIN and related products under many state laws and third-party insurance payer plans. In May 1997, the FDA announced that it would not approve certain synthetic estrogen products as generic equivalents of PREMARIN given known compositional differences between the active ingredient of these products and PREMARIN. Although the FDA has not approved any generic equivalent to PREMARIN to date, PREMARIN will continue to be subject to competition from existing and new competing estrogen and other products for its approved indications and may be subject to generic competition from either synthetic or natural conjugated estrogens products in the future. One other company had announced that it had applied for FDA approval of a generic version of PREMARIN derived from the same natural source, but that company has since announced the withdrawal of its application. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of any efforts to seek FDA approval for generic versions of PREMARIN.

  Two of the Company’s largest products, EFFEXOR XR and PROTONIX, are the subject of pending patent litigation involving potential generic competition. In the case of EFFEXOR XR, the Company has patent protection in the United States until at least June 2008, when the patent covering the active ingredient in EFFEXOR, venlafaxine, will expire. The pending litigation involves the infringement by a potential generic competitor of the Company’s patents relating to extended-release venlafaxine that expire in 2017. In the event that the Company is not successful in this action, EFFEXOR XR may face generic competition as early as June 2008. In the case of PROTONIX, the Company and its partner, Altana, have patent protection until at least July 2010, when the patent covering the active ingredient in PROTONIX, pantoprazole, will expire. That patent is being asserted against a potential generic competitor. In the event the Company is not successful in this action, PROTONIX may face generic competition prior to July 2010. Although the Company believes that its patents are valid and have been infringed, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, which could materially affect future results of operations.

  Growth in overall usage of antidepressants globally appears to be slowing for a variety of reasons. In addition, the FDA has recommended new class labeling for antidepressants that will, among other things, more prominently highlight the already labeled risk of suicide in children and adolescents in a “black box” warning. The Company already has implemented the labeling change for EFFEXOR. The FDA also has requested that data regarding suicidality from clinical trials in adults be re-examined using the same approach developed for evaluating the pediatric data. The Company will respond to the FDA’s request.

  In addition, the regulatory authority in the United Kingdom recently has completed a review of the safety and efficacy of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class of antidepressants as well as EFFEXOR. New class labeling for antidepressants as well as restrictions on the use of EFFEXOR in the United Kingdom have been implemented. The Company has appealed this decision to the United Kingdom Committee on the

  Safety of Medicines and the Committee’s decision is pending. The Company expects further regulatory scrutiny of the drugs in this therapeutic area, including EFFEXOR.

  The Company cannot predict the level of impact these issues may have on future global usage of EFFEXOR.

  The proton pump inhibitor category is highly competitive. PROTONIX is subject to discounting demands by managed care and state organizations and price competition from generic omeprazole and other branded proton pump inhibitor products. This pricing pressure may have an effect on future net sales. PROTONIX business is shifting from the more heavily discounted Medicaid segment to the less heavily discounted third party managed care segment. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2005 and, despite an anticipated decline in the rate of overall prescription volume growth, it is expected to have a positive impact on profitability.

  Product Supply

  Market demand for ENBREL continued to grow in the first quarter 2005 as net sales increased 49% within North America and 76% outside North America when compared to first quarter 2004 results. As this strong growth in demand continues, worldwide manufacturing for ENBREL also continues to improve, and supply has remained unconstrained since early 2004. Improvements in the existing Rhode Island and Boehringer Ingelheim facilities’ performance, combined with the FDA approval of a second Boehringer Ingelheim facility in June 2004 and the October 2004 FDA approval of a Genentech, Inc. facility, were key contributors to the manufacturing capacity increases in 2004 and early 2005. While continued process improvements and the inclusion of Genentech material will once again contribute to the supply of ENBREL in 2005, market demand has continued to grow, and additional manufacturing supply will be required.

  The anticipated approval of two new manufacturing facilities in 2005 will help to ensure uninterrupted supply and support the continued growth of ENBREL. Wyeth’s application for approval of its Grange Castle, Ireland, facility was filed with the European Medicines Agency in January 2005 and approval is anticipated in mid 2005. Additionally, Amgen expects the approval of a second facility in Rhode Island in 2005.

  As a result of delays in product availability of PREVNAR due to a late 2003 shutdown of the filling lines at the Company’s Pearl River, New York, facility as well as other manufacturing and testing issues, product availability was constrained in all markets through the first half of 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued interim recommendations to defer administration of the third and fourth doses for healthy children. Due to increased product availability, the CDC revised these recommendations in early July 2004 and again in September 2004 to recommend that health care providers return to the four-dose schedule for healthy children and initiate efforts to vaccinate those children who had the doses deferred.

  In March of 2004, the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products issued interim dosing recommendations to reduce usage. In September 2004, these recommendations were revised to reinstate pre-shortage recommendations. Capacity was enhanced overall in 2004 due to internal improvements and the FDA approval of a third-party filling facility in the second quarter of 2004. The Company exceeded its 2004 production goal of 20 — 23 million doses. Regulatory approval of pre-filled syringes from another third-party filler for Europe has been received and launch of pre-filled syringes in Europe is anticipated for mid-year 2005. Pre-filled syringes from Wyeth and the third-party filler are expected, pending regulatory approval, to be launched in the U.S. in early 2006. The Company expects to meet the 2005 PREVNAR production goal of 25 – 28 million doses.

  Supply Chain

  Management continually reviews the Company’s supply chain structure with respect to utilization of production capacities as well as manufacturing efficiencies. Changes in product demand periodically create capacity imbalances within the manufacturing network. When such imbalances result in overcapacity, which management considers to be other than temporary, the network is restructured to gain optimal efficiency and to reduce production costs. As a result, additional restructuring charges may occur in future periods.

  The Company continues to be in discussion with various regulatory authorities regarding manufacturing process issues at certain of the Company’s European manufacturing sites. The Company is working with the authorities to resolve these issues but cannot predict the outcome of those discussions and what impact these issues will have on supply of the Company’s products manufactured at these facilities. However, based on information currently available, the Company believes the impact, if any, on its consolidated statements of operations will not be material.

  Litigation and Contingent Liabilities

  The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and environmental matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the most significant of which are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, interim Current Reports filed on Form 8-K, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These include allegations of injuries caused by drugs, vaccines and over-the-counter products, including PONDIMIN (which in combination with phentermine, a product that was not manufactured, distributed or sold by the Company, was commonly referred to as “fen-phen”), REDUX, the prior formulation of DIMETAPP, the prior formulation of ROBITUSSIN, PREMPRO and PREMARIN and EFFEXOR, among others. In addition, the Company has responsibility for environmental, safety and cleanup obligations under various local, state and federal laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund.

38

  The estimated costs that the Company expects to pay are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated (see Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for a discussion of the costs associated with the REDUX and PONDIMIN diet drug litigation). In many cases, future environmental-related expenditures cannot be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. As investigations and cleanups proceed, environmental-related liabilities are reviewed and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Prior to November 2003, the Company was self-insured for product liability risks with excess coverage on a claims-made basis from various insurance carriers in excess of the self-insured amounts and subject to certain policy limits. Effective November 2003, the Company became completely self-insured for product liability risks. It is not possible to predict whether any potential liability that might exceed amounts already accrued will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

  Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements.

Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

  The market risk disclosures appearing on page 79 and 80 of the Company’s 2004 Annual Report as incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K have not materially changed from December 31, 2004. At March 31, 2005, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

Carrying
Value

Fair
Value

(In millions)
Description

Notional/
Contract
Amount

Assets (Liabilities)
Forward contracts (1)   $1,403.4   $(1.6 ) $(1.6 )
Option contracts(1)  1,285.8   (1.8 ) (1.8 )
Interest rate swaps  5,300.0   16.5   16.5  
Outstanding debt (2)  7,648.4   (7,664.9 ) (8,024.3 )
  (1) If the U.S. dollar were to strengthen or weaken by 10%, in relation to all hedged foreign currencies, the net payable on the forward contracts would collectively decrease or increase by approximately $105.6.

  (2) If the interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percentage point, the fair value of the outstanding debt would decrease or increase by approximately $656.6.

  The estimated fair values approximate amounts at which these financial instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Therefore, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques that are significantly affected by the assumptions used concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates that reflect varying degrees of risk. The fair value of forward contracts, currency option contracts and interest rate swaps reflects the present value of the contracts at March 31, 2005 and the fair value of outstanding debt instruments reflects a current yield valuation based on observed market prices as of March 31, 2005.

Item 4.       Controls and Procedures

  As of March 31, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the 2005 first quarter, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — Other Information

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

  The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct of its business, including product liability and other tort claims, the most significant of which have been described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and items filed in Current Reports on Form 8-K in 2005.

  The REDUX and PONDIMIN diet drug litigation is discussed in greater detail in Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

  Through March 31, 2005, payments into the REDUX and PONDIMIN national settlement funds, individual settlement payments, legal fees and other costs totaling $14,223.3 million were paid and applied against the litigation accrual. At March 31, 2005, $6,876.7 million of the litigation accrual remained.

  On March 15, 2005, United States District Judge Harvey Bartle III, the federal judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania overseeing the settlement, approved the proposed Seventh Amendment as “fair, adequate and reasonable.” Appeals from Judge Bartle’s decision have been filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Briefing and argument of the appeals before the Third Circuit has not yet been scheduled. If upheld on appeal, the proposed Seventh Amendment would include the following key terms:

  o The amendment would create a new Supplemental Fund, to be administered by a Fund Administrator who will be appointed by the District Court and who will process most pending Level I and Level II matrix claims;
  o After District Court approval, the Company would make initial payments of up to $50.0 million to facilitate the establishment of the Supplemental Fund and to begin reviewing claims. Following affirmance by the Third Circuit of the District Court’s approval and the exhaustion of any further appellate review, the Company would make an initial payment of $400.0 million to enable the Supplemental Fund to begin paying claims. The timing of additional payments would be dictated by the rate of review and payment of claims by the Fund Administrator. The Company would ultimately deposit a total of $1,275.0 million, net of certain credits, into the Supplemental Fund;

44


  o All participating matrix Level I and Level II claimants who qualify under the Seventh Amendment, who pass the Settlement Fund’s medical review and who otherwise satisfy the requirements of the settlement (Category One class members) would receive a pro rata share of the $1,275.0 million Supplemental Fund, after deduction of certain expenses and other amounts from the Supplemental Fund. The pro rata amount would vary depending upon the number of claimants who pass medical review, the nature of their claims, their age and other factors. A participating Category One class member who does not qualify for a payment after such medical review would be paid $2,000 from the Supplemental Fund;
  o Participating class members who might in the future have been eligible to file Level I and Level II matrix claims (Category Two class members) would be eligible to receive a $2,000 payment from the Trust; such payments would be funded by the Company apart from its other funding obligations under the nationwide settlement;
  o If the participants in the Seventh Amendment have heart valve surgery or other more serious medical conditions on Levels III through V of the nationwide settlement matrix by the earlier of 15 years from the date of their last diet drug ingestion or by December 31, 2011, they would remain eligible to submit claims to the existing Trust and be paid the current matrix amounts if they qualify for such payments under terms modified by the Seventh Amendment. In the event the existing Trust is unable to pay those claims, the Company would guarantee payment; and
  o All class members who participate in the Seventh Amendment would give up any further opt out rights as well as the right to challenge the terms of and the binding effect of the nationwide settlement. Final approval of the Seventh Amendment also would preclude any lawsuits by the Trust or the Company to recover any amounts previously paid to class members by the Trust, as well as terminate the Claims Integrity Program (see Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements) as to all claimants who do not opt out of the Seventh Amendment.

  There can be no assurance that the proposed Seventh Amendment will be upheld on appeal. If it is upheld on appeal, only the claims of those class members who opted out of the Seventh Amendment will be processed under the terms of the existing settlement agreement and under the procedures that have been adopted by the Settlement Trust and the District Court. Less than 5% of the class members who would be affected by the proposed Seventh Amendment (approximately 1,900 of the Category One class members and approximately 5,100 of the Category Two class members) elected to opt out of the Seventh Amendment and to remain bound by the current settlement terms. Should the proposed Seventh Amendment not be upheld on appeal, all of the pending and future matrix claims would be processed under the terms of the existing settlement agreement.

  As of March 31, 2005, approximately 62,000 individuals who had filed Intermediate or Back-End opt out forms had pending lawsuits against the Company. The claims of approximately 48% of the plaintiffs in the Intermediate and Back-End opt out cases served on the Company are pending in Federal Court, with approximately 38% pending in State Courts. The claims of approximately 14% of the Intermediate and Back-End opt out plaintiffs have been removed from State Courts to Federal Court but are still subject to a possible remand to State Court. In addition, a large number of plaintiffs have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to review and reverse orders entered by the Federal Court overseeing the settlement which had denied the plaintiffs’ motions to remand their cases to State Court. As of March 31, 2005, approximately 2,875 Intermediate or Back-End opt out plaintiffs have had their lawsuits dismissed for procedural or medical deficiencies or for various other reasons.

  The claims of 13 class members who had taken advantage of the Intermediate and Back-End opt out rights created in the nationwide settlement went to verdict from

45


  January 1 through April 29, 2005. Three of those verdicts were returned in favor of plaintiffs, in the aggregate amount of less than $50,000, at the close of the initial stage of a trial bifurcated to consider medical causation and damages in the first phase and liability in the second phase. A verdict in the amount of $50,000 was returned in favor of another plaintiff in a similarly bifurcated trial. Those cases have since been settled. Seven of the verdicts were defense verdicts in favor of the Company at the close of the initial phase in similarly bifurcated trials. The remaining two verdicts involved cases in which the jury initially found in favor of the plaintiffs for $5.0 million and $500,000 respectively, but subsequently found for the Company during the liability phase, thereby negating the earlier damage finding. A number of additional cases were settled, dismissed or adjourned during the first quarter of 2005. Additional Intermediate and Back-End opt out trials are scheduled throughout 2005 and 2006.

  On January 18, 2005, the Company and counsel representing certain downstream opt out plaintiffs filed a motion with the District Court advising the Court that those parties had developed a proposed process by which large numbers of the downstream opt out cases might be negotiated and settled. The proposed process provides a methodology for valuing different categories of claims and also provides a structure for individualized negotiations between Wyeth and lawyers representing diet drug claimants. Counsel for more than half of the plaintiffs with pending Intermediate and Back-End Opt Out lawsuits have agreed to participate in the process and the Company is moving forward with settlement discussions with those attorneys. However, the Company cannot predict the number of cases that might be settled as a result of such a process.

  On April 27, 2004, a jury in Beaumont, Texas hearing the case of Coffey, et al. v. Wyeth, et al., No. E-167,334, 172nd Judicial District Court, Jefferson Cty., TX, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $113.4 million in compensatory damages and $900.0 million in punitive damages for the wrongful death of the plaintiffs’ decedent, allegedly as a result of PPH caused by her use of PONDIMIN. On May 17, 2004, the Trial Court entered judgment on behalf of the plaintiffs for the full amount of the jury’s verdict, as well as $4.2 million in pre-judgment interest and $188,737 in guardian ad litem fees. On July 26, 2004, the Trial Court denied in their entirety the Company’s motions for a new trial or for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, including the Company’s request for application of Texas’ statutory cap on punitive damage awards. The Company has filed an appeal from the judgment entered by the Trial Court and believes that it has strong arguments for reversal or reduction of the awards on appeal due to the significant number of legal errors made during trial and in the charge to the jury and due to a lack of evidence to support aspects of the verdict. In connection with its appeal, the Company was required by Texas law to post a bond in the amount of $25.0 million. The Company filed its brief in support of the appeal on April 14, 2005. Oral argument is not expected until later in 2005.

  As of April 15, 2005, the Company was a defendant in approximately 375 pending lawsuits in which the plaintiff alleges a claim of PPH, alone or with other alleged injuries. Almost all of these claimants must meet the definition of PPH set forth in the national settlement agreement in order to pursue their claims outside of the national settlement (payment of such claims, by settlement or judgment, would be made by the

46


  Company and not by the Trust). Approximately 75 of these cases appear to be eligible to pursue a PPH lawsuit under the terms of the national settlement. In approximately 10 of the 375 cases, the Company expects the PPH claims to be voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs (although they may continue to pursue other claims). In approximately 125 of these cases, the Company has filed or expects to file motions under the terms of the national settlement to preclude plaintiffs from proceeding with their PPH claims. For the balance of these cases, the Company currently has insufficient medical information to assess whether or not the plaintiffs meet the definition of PPH under the national settlement. The Company is aware of approximately 10 additional PPH claims which are not currently the subject of a lawsuit but which appear to meet the settlement’s PPH definition. The Company continues to work toward resolving the claims of individuals who allege that they have developed PPH as a result of their use of the diet drugs and intends to vigorously defend those PPH cases that cannot be resolved prior to trial.

  In the product liability litigation involving PREMARIN and PREMPRO, the Company’s estrogen and estrogen/progestin therapies, respectively, a Writ of Summons was recently filed in Stanway v. Wyeth Canada, Inc., et al., No. S87156, Sup. Ct., British Columbia, Canada, seeking class certification. From this abbreviated filing, it is not clear whether the plaintiff seeks damages on behalf of British Columbia PREMARIN and PREMPLUS users or all Canadian PREMARIN and PREMPLUS users. In Albertson, et al. v. Wyeth, No. 002944, Ct. Comm. Pleas, Phil. Cty., PA, a putative statewide medical monitoring class action, class certification was denied on May 2, 2005. In addition to the pending class actions, the Company is defending approximately 3,325 individual actions and 170 multi-plaintiff actions in various courts for personal injuries including claims for breast cancer, stroke, ovarian cancer and heart disease. Together, these cases assert claims on behalf of approximately 5,280 women alleged injured by PREMPRO or PREMARIN.

  In the product liability litigation involving the Company’s cough/cold products that contained the ingredient phenylpropanolamine (PPA), the Company is currently a named defendant in approximately 460 lawsuits on behalf of a total of approximately 725 plaintiffs.

  In the product liability litigation alleging that the administration of one or more vaccines containing thimerosal, a preservative used in certain vaccines manufactured and distributed by the Company as well as by other vaccine manufacturers, causes severe neurological damage, including autism, the Company is currently defending approximately 380 lawsuits in various state and federal courts involving approximately 2,350 plaintiffs, approximately 950 of whom are vaccine recipients.

  In the product liability litigation involving the veterinary product PROHEART 6, which the Company’s Fort Dodge Animal Health subsidiary voluntarily recalled from the market in September 2004, a third PROHEART 6 putative statewide class action has been filed. Plaintiffs in Higginbotham v. Fort Dodge Animal Health, et al., No. GIC 842886, Super. Ct., San Diego Cty., seek compensatory damages on the grounds that Fort Dodge violated California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act in the manufacture, marketing, advertising, sale and distribution of PROHEART 6.

  In the litigation in which plaintiffs allege that the defendant pharmaceutical companies artificially inflated the Average Wholesale Price (AWP) of their drugs, an additional government entity class action has been filed naming the Company as a defendant. Like the other cases brought by various New York counties, County of Erie v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., et al., No. 2005-2439, Sup. Ct., Erie Cty., NY, includes claims based on the federal RICO Act, the Social Security Act, New York Social Services Law and New York General Business Law for damages suffered as a result of alleged overcharging for prescription medication paid for by Medicaid. All of the government entity actions have been removed to federal court and transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts where they are pending under the caption: In re: Pharmaceutical Industry AWP Litigation, MDL 1456. By stipulation, no activity is occurring in these matters pending the court’s resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss in the County of Suffolk matter. The MDL judge dismissed certain counts of the complaint and directed plaintiffs to make more definitive allegations against numerous defendants (including the Company) against whom they had previously made only conclusory allegations. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and the Company and numerous other defendants again moved to dismiss. Recently, the court granted the motion, dismissing the Company and eighteen other defendants. Plaintiffs have indicated that they intend to file an Amended Master Complaint on behalf of approximately 43 additional New York counties. It is not clear whether plaintiffs will again attempt to plead more specific allegations against the Company and the other dismissed plaintiffs or simply proceed against the remaining defendants.

  In September 2002, Israel Bio-Engineering Project (IBEP) filed an action against Amgen, Immunex, the Company and one of the Company’s subsidiaries (Docket No. C02-6880 ER, D.Ca.) alleging infringement of U.S. Patent 5,981,701, by the manufacture, offer for sale, distribution and sale of ENBREL. IBEP is not the assignee of record of this patent, but is alleging ownership. IBEP seeks an accounting of damages and of any royalties or license fees paid to a third party and seeks to have the damages trebled on account of alleged willful infringement. IBEP also seeks to require the defendants to take a compulsory non-exclusive license. Under its agreement with Amgen for the promotion of ENBREL, the Company has an obligation to pay a portion of the patent litigation expenses related to ENBREL in the U.S. and Canada as well as a portion of any damages or other monetary relief awarded in such patent litigation. Yeda Research and Development Co., Ltd., the assignee of record of the patent, intervened in the case and filed a summary judgment motion seeking a ruling that it is the owner of the patent. On March 15, 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the lower court’s summary judgment ruling in favor of the defendants that IBEP does not own the ‘701 Patent, and remanded the action to the lower court for further proceedings.

  The Company has received notifications from Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (Teva), Sandoz, Inc. and Sun Pharmaceutical Advanced Research Centre Limited (Sun) that Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) had been filed with the FDA seeking approval to market generic pantoprazole sodium 20 mg and 40 mg delayed release tablets. Pantoprazole sodium is the active ingredient used in PROTONIX.

48


  The Orange Book lists two patents in connection with PROTONIX tablets. The first of these patents covers pantoprazole and expires in July 2010. The other listed patent is a formulation patent and expires in December 2016. Wyeth’s licensing partner, Altana Pharma AG (Altana) is the owner of these patents. In May 2004, Altana and the Company filed a lawsuit against Teva and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, Docket No. 2:04-CV-02355, alleging infringement of the patent expiring in 2010. On March 4, 2005, the Company received a second notification from Sun, indicating that Sun has now certified that it believes that the patent expiring in 2010 is invalid, not infringed, or unenforceable. On April 13, 2005, Altana and the Company filed a lawsuit against Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Sun Pharmaceutical Advanced Research Centre Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, Docket No. 2:05-CV-05-01966-JLL-RJH, alleging infringement of the patent expiring in 2010. The Company intends, and is informed that Altana intends, to vigorously pursue the causes of action under these litigations.

  On March 24, 2003, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Teva Pharmaceuticals, USA (Wyeth v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Docket No. 03-CV-1293 (KSH), U.S.D.C., D. N.J.) alleging that the filing of an ANDA by Teva seeking FDA approval to market 37.5 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg venlafaxine HC1 extended-release capsules infringes certain of the Company’s patents. Venlafaxine HCl is the active ingredient used in EFFEXOR XR. The patents involved in the litigation relate to extended-release formulations of venlafaxine and/or methods of their use. These patents expire in 2017. Teva has asserted that these patents are invalid and/or not infringed. Under the 30-month stay provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act, any FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA cannot be made effective before August 2005 unless the court earlier decides that the patents are invalid or not infringed. Teva has not, to date, made any allegations as to the Company’s patent covering the compound, venlafaxine. Accordingly, Teva’s ANDA may further not be approved until the expiration of that patent, and its associated pediatric exclusivity period, on June 13, 2008.

  On March 14, 2003, Aventis Pharma Deutschland (Aventis) and King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. filed a patent infringement suit against Cobalt Pharmaceuticals (Cobalt) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Aventis Pharma Deutschland GmbH and King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc., Docket No. 03-10492JLT, U.S.D.C., D. Mass.) alleging that Cobalt infringes an Aventis patent for ramipril, which expires in October 2008, by filing an ANDA with the FDA seeking approval to market generic 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg ramipril capsules. The Company co-promotes ALTACE (ramipril) together with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Cobalt has alleged that this patent is invalid. Under the 30-month stay provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act, any FDA approval of Cobalt’s ANDA cannot be made effective before August 2005, unless the court earlier finds the patent invalid or not infringed.

  Medtronic Sofamor Danek (which is Wyeth’s licensee for certain products utilizing Wyeth’s recombinant BMP-2 protein, in particular the INFUSE Bone Graft/LT-CAGE Lumbar Tapered Fusing Device System) and the patent owner have agreed to settle Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc. vs. Gary K. Michelson, M.D. and Karlin Technology, Inc.,

49


  Civ. Action No. 01-2373 (U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee) where a jury had found Medtronic liable for $109.0 million in compensatory damages and $400.0 million in punitive damages and found that INFUSE infringed U.S. patents 6,080,155, 6,270,498 and 6,210,412 and awarded royalties at a rate of 10%. The Company was not a party to that action and is not liable for the damages awarded or for the additional royalties. The settlement, which is subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino regulatory approval, provides that Medtronic will assume ownership of the patents in suit. When the settlement has cleared Hart-Scott-Rodino review, the action will be dismissed and the potential for the patent owner to obtain an injunction as to Medtronic’s sales of INFUSE will be removed.

  In the litigation alleging that the Company violated the antitrust laws through the use of exclusive contracts and “disguised exclusive contracts” with managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers concerning PREMARIN, the J.B.D.L. Corp. v. Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Civ. A. No. C-1-01-704, U.S.D.C., S.D. Oh., and CVS Meridian, Inc. et al. v. Wyeth, Civil A. No. C-1-03-781, U.S.D.C., S.D. Oh., actions are scheduled for trial in August 2005. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment in the J.B.D.L. and CVS Meridian actions. Moreover, two actions by indirect purchasers, one of which is a certified class action, are pending in California court (Blevins v. Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 324380, Cal. Sup. Ct., San Francisco Cty., Cal. and Sullivan v. Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc., Case No. GIC796997, Cal. Sup. Ct., San Diego Cty., Cal.) and have been coordinated in San Francisco under JCCP No. 4389.

  In the litigation alleging that the Company, along with other pharmaceutical manufacturers, violated federal antitrust statutes and certain state laws by unlawfully agreeing to engage in conduct to prevent U.S. consumers from purchasing defendants’ prescription drugs from Canada, a motion by the Company and its co-defendants to dismiss the complaint has been granted in part and denied in part by the Magistrate Judge hearing the matter. An appeal to the District Court from this ruling is expected. In re Canadian Import Antitrust Litigation, Civ. No. 04-2724, U.S.D.C., D. Minn.

  Additionally, in the Clayworth v. Pfizer, et al., No. RG04172428, Calif. Super. Ct., Alameda Cty., action, the trial court has dismissed both plaintiffs’ original complaint and their Second Amended Complaint, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs have until May 6, 2005 to file a Third Amended Complaint.

  The Company intends to continue to defend all of the foregoing litigation vigorously.

  In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with pending litigation (other than the litigation involving REDUX and PONDIMIN, the potential effects of which are discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position but could be material to the results of operations or cash flows in any one accounting period.

WYETH
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Transferable Option)

UNDER:

DATED:

OPTION PRICE:

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION SHARES:

    1.        Under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Wyeth (the “Company”) Stock Incentive Plan set forth above (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the Company (at the request of the Company’s subsidiary employing Optionee, if applicable) hereby grants to the Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as specified above (“Option Shares”) at the option price also above specified. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

    2.        This Option may be exercised, in whole or in part from time to time in any whole number of Option Shares, upon and after the earlier of (i) with respect to one-third of the Option Shares (rounded down), the date that is one year from the date of grant of this Option, with respect to an additional one-third of the Option Shares (rounded down), the date that is two years from the date of grant of this Option and, with respect to the remaining one-third of the Option Shares, the date that is three years from the date of grant of this Option, or (ii) the date of the death, Disability or Retirement (each as defined in the Plan) of Optionee. Option exercises are subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan which generally requires that at the time of exercise (or, in the case of an event described in clause (ii), the date of termination of Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries) Optionee is or was employed by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries and has been continuously employed by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries for at least two years and since the date of grant. Once this Option becomes exercisable, it shall remain exercisable until its expiration as described in paragraph 3 below. To the extent Option Shares have been purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option, such shares shall no longer be available for purchase hereunder. The date after which this Option may be exercised will be accelerated upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) and upon such occurrence may be cashed out at the discretion of the Compensation and Benefits Committee on the terms described in Section 8 of the Plan.

    3.        This Option shall expire upon the date that is ten years from the date of grant or earlier as provided in Section 5 of the Plan which provides, among other things, that Options shall expire upon the first to occur of the following: (i) immediately upon the date of (A) the termination with the Company and its subsidiaries of Optionee’s employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of Optionee’s deliberate gross misconduct (as determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee), (B) Optionee’s voluntary termination with the Company and its subsidiaries of employment other than for Disability or Retirement, or (C) Optionee’s violation of (x) the noncompetition, or cooperation provisions of Section 5(g) of the Plan, or (y) the undertaking not to deliberately cause substantial harm to the Company as set forth in Section 5(g) of the Plan or (ii) the date that is three months from the date of the termination with the Company and its subsidiaries of Optionee’s employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or deliberate gross misconduct (as determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee).

    4.        In order to exercise this Option, Optionee must follow the procedures required by the Treasurer or the third party processing administrator (the “processing administrator”) designated by the Company’s Treasurer. At the time of exercise, Optionee shall make payment of the Option Price for the Option Shares being purchased in accordance with the processing administrator’s procedures or, if applicable, by submitting to the Company’s Treasurer, together with the option exercise notice, such payment in the form of (x) a personal or bank check in U.S. Dollars payable to Wyeth and drawn on or payable at a United States bank, and/or (y) shares of the Company’s common stock issued in Optionee’s (or permitted Transferee’s) name which were either (I) acquired by the Optionee from a person other than the Company or (II) held by the Optionee for at least six months (if necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment), which shares shall be duly assigned to the Company, or (z) by any other form of consideration which has been approved by the Compensation and Benefits Committee, as and to the extent provided and permitted by Section 5(d) of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the processing administrator, the Company or its subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from the gross cash proceeds or the number of Option Shares to be delivered upon exercise of this Option or any similar options previously granted by the Company to Optionee such cash or the number of Option Shares, respectively, as may be necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of federal, state or local taxes or other deductions legally required to be withheld before disbursing the net proceeds (less any related administrative fees and expenses) or Option Shares to Optionee or in the alternative such parties may require Optionee to deliver to the processing administrator, the Company or its subsidiaries an amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock of the Company to satisfy such fees, expenses and withholding before disbursing the net proceeds or Option Shares to Optionee.

    5.        This Agreement and this Option as well as the Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Option Shares covered by this Option is subject to all federal, state and other laws, rules and regulations of the United States and/or of the country wherein Optionee resides or is employed. Compliance with any recording, protocolization or registration requirements and payment of any fees or taxes applicable to this Agreement or the transactions it contemplates are the exclusive responsibility of Optionee.

    6.        This Option is not transferable or assignable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during Optionee’s lifetime only by him or her except that the Optionee may irrevocably transfer all or a portion of the Option represented hereby to (i) the spouse (current or former), children, stepchildren, grandchildren or step-grandchildren of the Optionee (“Immediate Family Members”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iii) a general or limited partnership or other entity in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or beneficial owners, provided that (x) there may be no consideration for any such transfer, (y) the Optionee submits to the Company an Option Transfer Form duly completed and executed by the Optionee and Transferee in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, and (z) subsequent transfers shall be prohibited except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following transfer, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of the Plan the term “Optionee” shall be deemed to include a permitted transferee hereunder (the “Transferee”), provided, however, that the events of death, Disability, Retirement or other termination of employment (and any other provision regarding employment) described in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Agreement and Sections 5(f) and 5(g) of the Plan shall continue to be applied with respect to the Optionee, and following any such events, the transferred Option shall be exercisable by the Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in the Plan. If such Option is transferred to a Transferee, upon exercise of such Option, if any taxes are withheld from the proceeds remitted (in cash or stock) to Transferee or if the Transferee separately satisfies any withholding tax obligation, the amount of the withholding tax shall be deemed to be a loan from Transferee to Optionee.

    7.        After Optionee’s death, the Option may be exercised only by Optionee’s legal representative or legatee or such other person designated by an appropriate court as the person entitled to make such exercise or, subject to paragraph 6 above, by other Transferees. The Option may be exercised after Optionee’s death by any permitted distributee or Transferee only to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the time of Optionee’s death.

    8.        Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Plan are to be interpreted and administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee, whose determination will be final.

    9.        By signing this Option Agreement, Optionee hereby unambiguously consents to and authorizes the disclosure of information related to the grant of the Option, including without limitation, information regarding Optionee’s age, date of birth and details regarding the Option or any similar options previously granted by the Company, to Optionee, the Company, any third-party retained by the Company to administer the exercise of the Option, the Company’s subsidiary(ies) currently and/or previously employing Optionee and governmental and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over this Agreement or the transactions it contemplates. The purpose of the information transfer is to allow Optionee to exercise the Options in accordance with (i) the terms under which they were granted and (ii) applicable laws; the information disclosed will be retained for the period of time necessary to achieve this purpose.

    10.       This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and in accordance with such federal law as may be applicable.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as defined in the Agreement and the Plan.

The Optionee and, by its execution of this form, the Transferee, hereby represent and warrant to the Company that the Transferee is a permitted transferee in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Agreement and under Section 5(h) of the Plan. It is understood and agreed by Optionee and Transferee that (i) the Compensation and Benefits Committee shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine whether such transfer is in accordance with such requirements, and (ii) the Company and the Compensation and Benefits Committee shall be under no obligation to notify the Transferee of the termination date of any Option transferred hereunder.

The Transferee understands and acknowledges that any shares of Common Stock purchased by the Transferee pursuant to the Options may not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that such shares may contain a restrictive legend in substantially the form as set forth below (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

  THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

3.  

Optionee is assuming all of the risks and possible consequences associated with the transfer of the Options, and acknowledges that the Company and its representatives are not responsible or liable for any tax, penalty, judgment or outcome resulting from the transfer of the Options.

The Units are subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. Each Unit corresponds to one share of Common Stock. Upon the full or partial satisfaction by the Company of certain performance criteria described in Paragraph 3, the Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

        o    You have read and understand the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

        o    The Company has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify the terms of the Plan or this Agreement to the extent that the Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

         1.   No Stockholder Rights Until Issuance of Shares.

At a meeting of the Committee to be held within 90 days after the end of [2007], the Committee shall compare the EPS with the EPS Target for [2007] set by the Committee at the beginning of such performance year. If the Committee determines that the minimum EPS Target has been achieved as set forth on the Performance Grid adopted by the Committee at the beginning of such performance year, then, subject to your applicable Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, the percentage of Units corresponding to the EPS Target achieved as set forth on the Performance Grid shall be converted, as of the EPS Conversion Date, into Common Stock (up to a maximum of 200% of the Target Award), and all rights with respect to the remaining portion of such Target Award (up to a maximum of 100% of the Target Award, if any) shall be subject to Paragraph 3(b).

               (b)   TSR Determination Date. In the event that less than 100% of the Target Award is converted to Common Stock as of the EPS Conversion Date pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) above, then up to 100% of the Units represented by such Target Award that were not converted shall be eligible for subsequent conversion to shares of Common Stock as provided in this Paragraph 3(b). At a meeting of the Committee to be held on a date within 90 days after the end of [2009], the Committee shall determine the Total Shareholder Return of the Company and of each member of the Peer Group, and shall rank them comparatively, for the three-year period from January, 1 [2007] through December 31, [2009] and, if the Company ranks within the highest three for that period, then, subject to your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, the Units representing 100% of the Target Award that were not previously converted shall be converted to Common Stock as of the TSR Determination Date.

               (c)   Forfeiture of Units. If the Company does not rank in the highest three of the Peer Group, then any Units not previously settled as of the EPS Conversion Date shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 3(b), and all rights with respect thereto shall be surrendered to the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon your forfeiture for any reason of all rights to the Units granted hereunder, such Units shall, for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, be deemed terminated and without further force or effect as of the date of such forfeiture.

               (d)   Rounding. The number of Units settled in accordance with the calculations described in Paragraphs 3(a) and 3(b) shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

         4.   Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections.

               (a)   Deferral Elections. You are eligible to make a Deferral Election to defer the issuance to you of all of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you as of the EPS Conversion Date or the TSR Determination Date, as the case may be. To make a Deferral Election, you must complete an election form approved by the Committee that conforms to the terms of the attached ANNEX B, and return or otherwise submit such form to the Record Keeper as soon as possible after the date hereof, but in no event later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement or such shorter period as may be required by applicable law and communicated to you by the Committee. All Deferral Elections must comply with the applicable procedures established by the Committee from time to time. If you make such a Deferral Election (or a Re-Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)), then, as of the EPS Conversion Date and/or the TSR Determination Date, as the case may be, the following shall apply: (i) the Units that would have been earned as of the EPS Conversion Date or the TSR Determination Date, as the case may be, shall be cancelled; (ii) in exchange for such cancelled Units, you will have a future right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units so cancelled, subject to Paragraph 5(d); and (iii) as of the EPS Conversion Date and/or TSR Determination Date, as the case may be, the Company shall contribute to the Restricted Stock Trust, subject to Paragraph 5(d), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units cancelled, which shares shall be used to satisfy the Company’s payment obligations to you under your Deferral Election and this Agreement, and such shares shall be issued to you as of the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, subject to Paragraph 6, 7 or 8.

               (b)   Re-Deferral Elections. You may, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Committee, also make a Re-Deferral Election with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock earned or eligible to be earned by you under this Agreement. Any such Re-Deferral Election (i) must be in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A (as reasonably interpreted by the Committee), (ii) must be made in writing (unless otherwise instructed by the Company) and received by the Record Keeper at least one year prior to the Payment Date previously specified in your Deferral Election or established under the terms of this Agreement and (iii) must delay receipt of payment of the amounts otherwise due to you under this Agreement for the minimum re-deferral period required by Section 409A (for example, in the case of the Payment Date for a lump sum, the minimum re-deferral period would be for at least five years following such Payment Date). To the extent that a Payment Date is delayed pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) or 7(c), the one-year period referenced in clause (ii) of this Paragraph 4(b) shall be measured from the EPS Conversion Date or TSR Determination Date, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) you will be permitted to make a Re-Deferral Election solely to the extent that such election will not result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A and (B) issuance of amounts subject to an applicable Re-Deferral Election shall not occur prior to the Payment Date(s) set forth in your Re-Deferral Election solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

Upon such issuance, you shall be the record owner of such shares and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends.

               (b)   No Deferral Election. If you do not make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to you, if earned, in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the EPS Conversion Date and/or TSR Determination Date, as the case may be, subject to Paragraph 6 or 7.

Shares of Common Stock may also be issued and withheld at the time Social Security, Medicare and other wage withholding taxes are due.

               (e)   Compliance with Section 409A. Issuance of shares of Common Stock under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A and, to the extent that such shares are issued in connection with your Separation from Service for any reason other than death, such issuance shall be delayed for six months and one day to the extent the Committee determines that such delay is necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

               (b)   Distribution Procedures.

If you have elected, pursuant to Paragraph 4, to receive the shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement in the form of installments, the number of shares issued to you due to the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency pursuant to this Paragraph 8 shall be deducted from the remaining installments to be issued to you starting with the last in time of such installments scheduled to be issued.

         9.   Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing. Neither the existence of the Plan and this Agreement nor the Target Award granted hereby shall create any right to continue to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, and your employment shall continue to be at will and terminable at will by the Company. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern; provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 9 shall be construed as requiring that any such conflict be resolved in a manner that the Company determines would be inconsistent with Section 409A or would result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee or the Hardship Committee is authorized to make a determination under this Agreement, all such determinations shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee, the Hardship Committee or their respective delegates.

ANNEX B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

Any Deferral Elections are subject to Paragraph 4(a) of this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in this ANNEX B. Capitalized terms not defined in this ANNEX B have the same meanings as in this Agreement.

1.  

Your Deferral Election applies to all shares of Common Stock earned and issuable under this Agreement and must be made on an election form that conforms to this ANNEX B. Your Deferral Election must be submitted to the Record Keeper as soon as possible and by no later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement or such shorter period as may be required by Section 409A and communicated to you by the Record Keeper.


2.  

Once your completed election form has been submitted in accordance with this Agreement and this ANNEX B, your Deferral Election will be irrevocable.


3.  

All Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections shall conform to Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ANNEX B, the Company has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify your Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections (including the time and form of payment) to the extent that the Committee deems necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.


4.  

If you elect to make a Deferral Election, you must select either a Short-Term Payout or a Retirement Benefit, as described below. All of the shares of Common Stock earned and issuable under this Agreement will be issued as of such Payment Date(s) and delivered to you as soon as practicable thereafter. You cannot elect both a Short-Term Payout and a Retirement Benefit Payout.


                 a.    

A Short-Term Payout is a lump-sum distribution of all such shares of Common Stock as of the Payment Date you select, which can be no earlier than three and no more than fifteen years after the EPS Conversion Date or the TSR Determination Date, as the case may be. Additionally, the Payment Date for your Short-Term Payout can be no later than the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 80. If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election to receive the shares earned and issuable to you under this Agreement in a Short-Term Payout, you may make a subsequent Re-Deferral Election in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) with respect to such shares, as long as you are an active employee of the Company or its subsidiaries at the time of such subsequent Re-Deferral Election.


                 b.    

A Retirement Benefit is a distribution of all such shares of Common Stock in the form of either a lump sum or annual installments (over 3 to 15 years) issued as of your Retirement or a later date that is one or more years after your Retirement. You must elect a Payment Date that results in all shares earned and issuable under this Agreement being issued to you no later than the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 80. Any earned and unissued shares will be issued to you by the end of such calendar year, notwithstanding your election. If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election to receive the shares earned and issuable to you under this Agreement as a Retirement Benefit, you may make a subsequent Re-Deferral Election in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) with respect to such shares, as long as (x) issuance of the shares subject to your Deferral Election or prior Re-Deferral Election has not commenced at the time of such subsequent Re-Deferral Election and (y) if, prior to such subsequent Re-Deferral Election, you incurred a Separation of Service, it was by reason of Retirement.


                         (i)      

If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election to receive a Retirement Benefit and incur a Separation from Service by reason of Retirement:


                                 o     prior to the EPS Conversion Date and have been, as of the date of such Separation from Service, in the continuous employment of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries for at least two consecutive years, the shares of Common Stock earned and issuable under this Agreement subject to your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election will be issued in the form (installments or lump sum) elected by you in the Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, as of the later of (A) the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, and (B) the EPS Conversion Date and/or TSR Determination Date, as the case may be.

                                 o    on or after the EPS Conversion Date but prior to the TSR Determination Date, the shares of Common Stock earned under this Agreement and issuable on:

                                       o    the EPS Conversion Date will be issued as of the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be; and

                                       o    the TSR Determination Date will be issued in the form (installments or lump sum) elected by you in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, as of the later of (A) the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, and (B) the TSR Determination Date.

NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT
TO AWARD: [####]
___________________________

Name
Address 1
Address 2

        The Company hereby awards you restricted stock units (the “Units”) representing shares of Common Stock in the amount set forth above. The Units are subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. Each Unit corresponds to one share of Common Stock. The Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Capitalized words not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement or in Paragraph 10 shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

        By signing this Agreement (or otherwise acknowledging, as instructed, your agreement thereto), you acknowledge and agree that:

        o   You have received a copy of the Plan.

        o   You have read and understand the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

        o   The Company has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify the terms of the Plan or this Agreement to the extent that the Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A. Such amendments or modifications may limit or eliminate certain rights otherwise available to you under the Plan and/or this Agreement.

         1.   No Stockholder Rights Until Issuance of Shares. No shares of Common Stock represented by the Units will be earmarked for you or your account, and you will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares until such time as the shares are issued to you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         2.   No Transfer of Units. You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Units granted hereunder.

         3.   Conversion to Common Stock. As of the Conversion Date, the Units shall be converted to Common Stock, unless the Units have been forfeited or previously converted prior to that date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Units are then subject to a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon your forfeiture for any reason of all rights to the Units granted hereunder, such Units shall, for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, be deemed terminated and without further force or effect as of the date of such forfeiture.

         4.   Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections.

               (a)   Deferral Elections. You are eligible to make a Deferral Election to defer the issuance to you of all of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you as of the Conversion Date. To make a Deferral Election, you must complete an election form approved by the Committee that conforms to the terms of the attached ANNEX A and return or otherwise submit such form to the Record Keeper as soon as possible after the date hereof, but in no event later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement or such shorter period as may be required by applicable law and communicated to you by the Committee. All Deferral Elections must comply with the applicable procedures established by the Committee from time to time. If you make such a Deferral Election (or Re-Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)), then, as of the Conversion Date, the following shall apply: (i) the number of Units that would have been earned as of the Conversion Date shall be cancelled; (ii) in exchange for such cancelled Units, you will have a future right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units so cancelled, subject to Paragraph 5(d); and (iii) as of the Conversion Date, the Company shall contribute to the Restricted Stock Trust, subject to Paragraph 5(d), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units cancelled, which shares shall be used to satisfy the Company’s payment obligations to you under your Deferral Election and this Agreement, and such shares shall be issued to you as of the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, subject to Paragraph 6, 7 or 8.

               (b)   Re-Deferral Elections. You may, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Committee, also make a Re-Deferral Election with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock earned or eligible to be earned by you under this Agreement. Any such Re-Deferral Election (i) must be in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A (as reasonably interpreted by the Committee), (ii) must be made in writing (unless otherwise instructed by the Company) and received by the Record Keeper at least one year prior to the Payment Date previously specified in your Deferral Election or established under the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) must delay receipt of payment of the amounts otherwise due to you under this Agreement for the minimum re-deferral period required by Section 409A (for example, in the case of the Payment Date for a lump sum, the minimum re-deferral period would be for at least five years following such Payment Date). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) you will be permitted to make a Re-Deferral Election solely to the extent that such election will not result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A and (B) issuance of amounts subject to an applicable Re-Deferral Election shall not occur prior to the Payment Date(s) set forth in your Re-Deferral Election solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

         5.   Issuance and Delivery of Shares of Common Stock; Withholding.

               (a)   Method of Issuance; Time of Delivery; Stockholder Rights. As soon as practicable following a Payment Date, all shares of Common Stock, if any, earned by you under this Agreement that are to be issued to you as of such Payment Date shall be delivered either through book-entry form as a credit to an account maintained in your name or through the issuance of a stock certificate representing such shares of Common Stock free of any restrictive legend, other than as may be required by applicable securities laws. Upon such issuance, you shall be the record owner of such shares and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends.

               (b)   No Deferral Election. If you do not make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you pursuant to this Agreement, if earned, shall be delivered to you in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, subject to Paragraph 6 or 7.

               (c)    Deferral Election. If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to you, if earned, as soon as practicable following the Payment Date(s) specified in such Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, subject to Paragraph 6, 7 or 8.

               (d)    Amounts to Be Withheld. The number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issued to you (either directly from the Company pursuant to this Paragraph 5 or from the Restricted Stock Trust) as of a Payment Date(s) shall be (i) the number of such shares that would have been issued as of the Payment Date in the absence of this Paragraph 5(d) minus (ii) the number of whole shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy (A) the minimum federal, state and local income tax withholding obligations that are imposed on the Company by applicable law in respect of the issuance of such award, (B) other tax withholding obligations (e.g., Social Security and Medicare) that may be due from time to time under applicable law (and that may be satisfied by the reduction effected hereby in the number of issuable shares) and (C) any administrative fees that may be imposed by the Company, in each case, it being understood that the value of the shares referred to in clause (ii) above shall be determined, for the purposes of satisfying the obligations set forth in this Paragraph 5(d) and determining your income related to such award, on the basis of the average of the high and low per-share prices for the Common Stock as reported on the Consolidated Transaction Reporting System on the trading day immediately preceding the designated date of issuance or as otherwise determined in Paragraph 8, or on such other reasonable basis for determining fair market value as the Committee may from time to time adopt. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued and withheld at the time Social Security, Medicare and other wage withholding taxes are due.

               (e)    Compliance with Section 409A. Issuance of shares of Common Stock under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A and, to the extent that such shares are issued in connection with your Separation from Service for any reason other than death, such issuance shall be delayed for six months and one day to the extent the Committee determines that such delay is necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

         6.   Separation from Service Other than by Reason of Retirement, Disability or Death; Forfeiture; Default Payment.

               (a)    Prior to Conversion Date. If you incur a Separation from Service prior to the Conversion Date for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, you shall forfeit all rights to all Units granted hereunder.

               (b)    On or After Conversion Date. If you incur a Separation from Service on or after the Conversion Date for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, the shares that are earned under this Agreement, but have not then been issued to you, shall be issued to you in accordance with Paragraph 5 as of the Payments Date(s) specified below:

                       (i)    No Deferral/Re-Deferral Election. If you did not make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, the shares of Common Stock shall be issued in a lump sum as of the Conversion Date.

If you made a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election with respect to the shares earned under this Agreement, the shares subject to your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, that are earned but have not then been issued to you shall be issued to you, in accordance with Paragraph 5, in a lump sum as of the date of such Separation from Service, regardless of the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election.

                              (A)   No Deferral/Re-Deferral Election.

                              (C)   Deferral/Re-Deferral Election—Death.

                       (ii)    Continuous Employment Requirement. If you incur a Separation from Service prior to the Conversion Date (A) by reason of Retirement, Disability or death and (B) as of the date of your Separation from Service, you have not been in the continuous employment of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries for the two-year period ending on such Separation from Service, you shall forfeit all rights to all Units granted hereunder, as of the date of such Separation of Service.

               (b)    On or After Conversion Date.

                       (iii)    Deferral/Re-Deferral Election—Death.

         8.   Distribution in the Event of Financial Hardship.

               (a)    Requirements. If the issuance of shares of Common Stock has been deferred by you pursuant to a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, and such shares have not then been issued to you, you may submit a written request for an accelerated issuance of such shares in the event you experience an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. The Hardship Committee shall evaluate any such request as soon as practicable in accordance with Section 409A. If the Hardship Committee determines in its sole discretion that you are experiencing such an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Hardship Committee shall direct the Company to issue to you, as soon as practicable following such determination, such number of shares of Common Stock held for your account in the Restricted Stock Trust, provided that the value of such shares of Common Stock does not exceed the amount needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency and the tax liability reasonably anticipated as a result of such issuance of shares. In making its determination, the Hardship Committee shall take into account the extent to which such Unforeseeable Financial Emergency is, or may be, relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of your assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

               (b)    Distribution Procedures. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the value of the shares of Common Stock shall be calculated based on the average of the high and low share prices for the Common Stock as reported on the Consolidated Transaction Reporting System on the trading day immediately preceding the date of approval by the Hardship Committee. You must provide adequate documentation to the Hardship Committee in order to be eligible for the issuance of shares to confirm the amount needed to satisfy the costs related to the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency and the taxes payable on the release of such shares. If you have elected, pursuant to Paragraph 4, to receive the shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement in the form of installments, the number of shares issued to you due to the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency pursuant to this Paragraph 8 shall be deducted from the remaining installments to be issued to you starting with the last in time of such installments scheduled to be issued.

         9.   Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing. Neither the existence of the Plan and this Agreement nor the award granted hereby shall create any right to continue to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, and your employment shall continue to be at will and terminable at will by the Company. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern; provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 9 shall be construed as requiring that any such conflict be resolved in a manner that the Company determines would be inconsistent with Section 409A or would result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee or the Hardship Committee is authorized to make a determination under this Agreement, all such determinations shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee, the Hardship Committee or their respective delegates.

               (a)   General Rule. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Units or shares of Common Stock of the Company represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement unless and until the Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance of such shares through book-entry form by a credit to an account maintained on your behalf, or through a stock certificate, representing such shares is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of governmental authority. The Company shall in no event be obliged to register any securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time) or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance of such shares through book-entry form by a credit to an account maintained on your behalf, or through a stock certificate, representing such shares to comply with any such law or regulation.

               (b)   Reservation of Rights. The Committee reserves the right, at any time, to (i) amend, modify, cancel or rescind without your consent any or all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement or (ii) terminate the Plan, to the extent the Committee determines necessary to (A) comply with any applicable law, regulation, ruling or other regulatory guidance, including, without limitation, Section 409A, or (B) avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

               (c)   Section 16. If you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan and this Agreement are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan, this Agreement or action by the Committee involving you is deemed not to comply with an applicable condition of Rule 16b-3, such provision or action shall be deemed null and void as to you, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee; provided, however, that no action shall be taken pursuant to this sentence that could result in adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A. Moreover, in the event the Plan or this Agreement does not include a provision required by Rule 16b-3 to be stated therein, such provision (other than one relating to eligibility requirements or the price and amount of awards as applicable) shall be deemed automatically to be incorporated by reference into the Plan and/or this Agreement insofar as you are concerned, with such incorporation to be deemed effective as of the effective date of such Rule 16b-3 provision.

         12.   No Change of Control. Notwithstanding the provision(s) of the Plan that address a Change of Control, upon a Change of Control, (A) the date upon and after which the Units shall be converted to shares of Common Stock shall not be accelerated, and (B) the Units shall not be cashed out, in each case, unless and until the Committee determines otherwise in accordance with Section 409A.

ANNEX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

Any Deferral Elections are subject to Paragraph 4 of this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in this ANNEX A. Capitalized terms not defined in this ANNEX A have the same meanings as in this Agreement.

         1.   Your Deferral Election applies to all shares of Common Stock earned and issuable under this Agreement and must be made on an election form that conforms to this ANNEX A. Your Deferral Election must be submitted to the Record Keeper as soon as possible and by no later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement or such shorter period as may be required by Section 409A and communicated to you by the Record Keeper.

         2.   Once your completed election form has been submitted in accordance with this Agreement and this ANNEX A, your Deferral Election will be irrevocable.

         3.   All Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections shall conform to Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ANNEX A, the Company has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify your Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections (including the time and form of payment) to the extent that the Committee deems necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A.

         4.   If you elect to make a Deferral Election, you must select either a Short-Term Payout or a Retirement Benefit, as described below. All of the shares of Common Stock earned and issuable under this Agreement will be issued as of such Payment Date(s) and delivered to you as soon as practicable thereafter. You cannot elect both a Short-Term Payout and a Retirement Benefit Payout.

               a.   A Short-Term Payout is a lump-sum distribution of all such shares of Common Stock as of the Payment Date you select, which can be no earlier than three and no more than fifteen years after the Conversion Date. Additionally, the Payment Date for your Short-Term Payout can be no later than the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 80. If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election to receive the shares earned and issuable to you under this Agreement in a Short-Term Payout, you may make a subsequent Re-Deferral Election in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) with respect to such shares, as long as you are an active employee of the Company or its subsidiaries at the time of such subsequent Re-Deferral Election.

               b.   A Retirement Benefit is a distribution of all such shares of Common Stock in the form of either a lump sum or annual installments (over 3 to 15 years) issued as of your Retirement or a later date that is one or more years after your Retirement. You must elect a Payment Date that results in all shares earned and issuable under this Agreement being issued to you no later than the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 80. Any earned and unissued shares will be issued to you by the end of such calendar year, notwithstanding your election. If you make a Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election to receive the shares earned and issuable to you under this Agreement as a Retirement Benefit, you may make a subsequent Re-Deferral Election in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) with respect to such shares, as long as (i) issuance of the shares subject to your Deferral Election or prior Re-Deferral Election has not commenced at the time of such subsequent Re-Deferral Election and (ii) if, prior to such subsequent Re-Deferral Election, you incurred a Separation of Service, it was by reason of Retirement.
