Item 8.01. Other Events.

Increase to Share Repurchase Program

On September 27, 2007, the Wyeth Board of Directors approved an increase to Wyeth’s previously authorized share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to buy back up to $5 billion of the Company’s common stock. This is inclusive of approximately $1.2 billion in repurchases already executed during 2007. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. The Company intends to fund the share repurchase program with cash from operations. Wyeth’s press release announcing the increase to its share repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.

Adoption of Recoupment Policy

On September 27, 2007, the Wyeth Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation and Benefits Committee, approved the adoption of a policy on the recoupment of performance-based compensation in restatement situations. The policy provides that if the Board of Directors determines that a senior executive has engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that caused or otherwise contributed to the need for a material restatement of Wyeth’s financial results, the Board will review all performance-based compensation awarded to or earned by that senior executive on the basis of performance during fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement. If, in the Board’s view, the performance-based compensation would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from that senior executive of any portion of such performance-based compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances.

The full text of the policy is available on the Corporate Governance section of Wyeth’s internet website at www.wyeth.com. The information contained on Wyeth’s website is not a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
