Teva offers to buy Mylan in $400-billion deal

Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is offering to buy Mylan in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $40.1 billion.

The potential combination would result in a powerhouse of a generic drug developer competing against rivals such as Sun Pharma.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. offered to pay $82 per share, a 21-percent premium to Mylan’s closing price on Monday.

Mylan last week expressed doubts that regulators would approve a deal between Teva and Mylan.
