NOTE 2—Certain transactions:
 
a.
Business acquisitions:
Actavis Generics and Anda acquisitions
On August 2, 2016, Teva consummated its acquisition of Allergan plc’s (“Allergan”) worldwide generic pharmaceuticals business (“Actavis Generics”). At closing, Teva transferred to Allergan consideration of approximately $33.4 billion in cash and approximately 100.3 million Teva shares.
On October 3, 2016, Teva consummated the acquisition of Anda Inc. (“Anda”), a medicines distribution business in the United States, from Allergan, for cash consideration of $500 million. This transaction was related to the Actavis Generics acquisition and, as such, the purchase price accounting and related disclosures were treated on a combined basis.
The final cash consideration for the Actavis Generics acquisition was subject to certain net working capital adjustments. On January 31, 2018, Teva and Allergan entered into a settlement agreement and mutual releases for which Allergan made a one-time payment of $703 million to Teva to settle the working capital adjustments under the Master Purchase Agreement, dated July 26, 2015. As the measurement period has ended, this amount was recorded as a gain under legal settlements and loss contingencies in the first quarter of 2018.
Rimsa
On March 3, 2016, Teva completed the acquisition of Representaciones e Investigaciones Médicas, S.A. de C.V. (“Rimsa”), a pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution company in Mexico, for $2.3 billion, in a cash free, debt free set of transactions. Teva financed the transaction using cash on hand.
Following the closing of the acquisition, Teva identified issues concerning Rimsa’s pre-acquisition quality, manufacturing and other practices, at which point Teva began an assessment of the extent and cost of remediation required to return its products to the market. In September 2016, two lawsuits were filed: a pre-emptive suit by the Rimsa sellers against Teva and Teva’s lawsuit alleging fraud and breach of contract against the Rimsa sellers. The Rimsa sellers subsequently dismissed their lawsuit and the dismissal was approved by court order on December 20, 2016.
On February 15, 2018, Teva and the Rimsa sellers entered into a settlement agreement and mutual releases with respect to Teva’s breach of contract claim, pursuant to which the Rimsa sellers made a
one-time
payment to Teva. Teva’s breach of contract claim was subsequently dismissed by the court. As the measurement period has ended, this payment was recorded as a gain under legal settlements and loss contingencies in the first quarter of 2018.

Otsuka
On May 12, 2017, Teva entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Otsuka”), providing Otsuka with an exclusive license to conduct phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for AJOVY in Japan and, if approved, to commercialize the product in Japan. Otsuka paid Teva an upfront payment of $50 million in consideration for the transaction. Results for these trials were received in January 2020 indicating that primary and secondary endpoints were achieved and that no clinically significant adverse events were observed in subjects. In the third quarter of 2020, Otsuka submitted an application to obtain manufacturing and marketing approval for AJOVY in Japan and, as a result, paid Teva a milestone payment of $15 million, which was recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2020. Teva may receive additional milestone payments upon achievement of certain commercial and revenue targets. Otsuka will also pay Teva royalties on AJOVY sales in Japan.

Assets and Liabilities Held For Sale:
Certain assets of Teva’s business venture in Japan
Teva operates its business in Japan, which is part of Teva’s International Market segment, through a business venture with The Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”), in which Teva owns a
51%
stake and Takeda owns the remaining
49%.
In July 2020, Teva and Takeda entered into a purchase agreement to sell the majority of the business venture’s generic and operational assets. This transaction was completed on February 1, 2021.
Teva is accounting for the business venture assets and liabilities under the purchase agreement as held for sale and determined that the fair value less cost to sell did not exceed the carrying value, resulting in an impairment charge of
 $247
million in other assets impairments, restructuring and other items recognized in 2020
.
Teva determined that the sale of this portion of the Teva-Takeda business venture does not constitute a strategic shift for Teva, and does not and will not have a major effect on its operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operations associated with the transactions are not reported as discontinued operations.
Assets held for sale include the Teva-Takeda business venture assets that are held for sale, the anticipated sale of certain OTC assets and other manufacturing assets that are expected to be sold within the next year.
