3. AGREEMENTS TO PURCHASE OR SELL ETC.

 

Full details should be given so that the nature of the interest or position can be fully understood:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Panel's Market Surveillance Unit is available for consultation in relation to the Code's dealing disclosure requirements on +44 (0)20 7638 0129.

 

The Code can be viewed on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

 

 


[1] Includes shares of Pfizer common stock held by the directors and, to their knowledge after inquiry, their close relatives (whether directly or in trust).

[2] Includes 9,614 shares held in the Pfizer Savings Plan ("PSP"), which is a U.S. tax qualified 401(k) plan. PSP participants receive company matching contributions in, and can also defer participant contributions into, a fund comprised of Pfizer stock which is unitized.

[3] For further information regarding the directors' stock awards and options, see Pfizer's Proxy Statement for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2014 and which is not incorporated into, and does not form part of, this announcement.

[4] When vested, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") entitle the holder to receive a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such RSUs. In virtually all instances, the RSUs vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date.

[5] Performance Share Awards ("PSAs") vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date. The number of shares paid, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents, depends upon the achievement of predetermined goals related to Pfizer's total share return as compared to an industry peer group, for the three-year performance period from the year of the grant date.

[6] "Deferred" means that the RSU or PSA has vested, but was deferred. Deferred PSAs and RSUs may only be deferred into the Pfizer stock unit fund under the Pfizer Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. The Pfizer stock unit fund is credited with dividend equivalent units which are reinvested.

[7] The Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan extends the PSP, on a non-qualified basis, for deferral of compensation in excess of the tax code limitations under the same terms.

[8] Total Shareholder Return Units ("TSRUs") entitle the holders to receive a number of shares of Pfizer common stock with a value equal to the difference between the defined settlement price and the grant price, plus the dividends accumulated during the five-year or seven-year term, if and to the extent the total value is positive. The settlement price is the average closing price of Pfizer common stock during the 20 trading days ending on the fifth or seventh anniversary of the grant as applicable; the grant price is the closing price of Pfizer common stock on the date of the grant. The TSRUs are automatically settled on the fifth or seventh anniversary of the grant but vest on the third anniversary of the grant, after which time there is no longer a risk of forfeiture.

[9] Stock options, when vested, entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock at a price per share equal to the closing market price of Pfizer common stock on the date of grant.

[10] Director units (each equivalent to a share of Pfizer common stock) are awarded under Pfizer's Director compensation program. Units are not payable until the Director ceases to be a member of the Board, at or after which time they are paid in cash or in shares of Pfizer stock at the Director's election.

[11] Includes 16,335 units resulting from the conversion into Pfizer units of previously deferred Warner-Lambert director compensation under the Warner-Lambert 1996 Stock Plan.

[12] The information in this section was provided to Pfizer by the relevant adviser
