`PART I
`
`On November 3, 2009, Merck & Co., Inc. (“Old Merck”) and Schering-Plough Corporation (“Schering-
`Plough”) completed their previously-announced merger (the “Merger”). In the Merger, Schering-Plough acquired
`all of the shares of Old Merck, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schering-Plough and was renamed
`Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Schering-Plough continued as the surviving public company and was renamed
`Merck & Co., Inc. (“New Merck” or the “Company”). However, for accounting purposes only, the Merger was
`treated as an acquisition with Old Merck considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the accompanying
`financial statements reflect Old Merck’s stand-alone operations as they existed prior to the completion of the
`Merger. The results of Schering-Plough’s business have been included in New Merck’s financial statements only for
`periods subsequent to the completion of the Merger. Therefore, New Merck’s financial results for 2009 do not
`reflect a full year of legacy Schering-Plough operations. References in this report and in the accompanying financial
`statements to “Merck” for periods prior to the Merger refer to Old Merck and for periods after the completion of the
`Merger to New Merck.
`
`The Company is a global health care company that delivers innovative health solutions through its
`medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, and consumer and animal products, which it markets directly and through
`its joint ventures. The Company’s operations are principally managed on a products basis and are comprised of one
`reportable segment, which is the Pharmaceutical segment. The Pharmaceutical segment includes human health
`pharmaceutical and vaccine products marketed either directly by the Company or through joint ventures. Human
`health pharmaceutical products consist of therapeutic and preventive agents, sold by prescription, for the treatment
`of human disorders. The Company sells these human health pharmaceutical products primarily to drug wholesalers
`and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers such as health maintenance
`organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. Vaccine products consist of preventative pediatric,
`adolescent and adult vaccines, primarily administered at physician offices. The Company sells these human health
`vaccines primarily to physicians, wholesalers, physician distributors and government entities. The Company’s
`professional representatives communicate the effectiveness, safety and value of its pharmaceutical and vaccine
`products to health care professionals in private practice, group practices and managed care organizations. The
`Company also has animal health operations that discover, develop, manufacture and market animal health products,
`including vaccines. The Company’s professional representatives communicate the safety and value of the
`Company’s animal health products to veterinarians, distributors and animal producers. Additionally, the Company
`has consumer health care operations that develop, manufacture and market Over-the-Counter (“OTC”), foot care
`and sun care products, which are sold through wholesale and retail drug, food chain and mass merchandiser outlets
`in the United States and Canada.

`
`Overview
`
`In the Merger, Old Merck
`As discussed above, the Merger was completed on November 3, 2009.
`shareholders received one share of common stock of New Merck for each share of Old Merck stock that they owned,
`and Schering-Plough shareholders received 0.5767 of a share of common stock of New Merck and $10.50 in cash
`for each share of Schering-Plough stock that they owned. The consideration in the Merger was valued at $49.6
`billion in the aggregate. Schering-Plough was Old Merck’s long-term partner in the Merck/Schering-Plough
`cholesterol partnership (the “MSP Partnership”). The cash portion of the consideration was funded with a
`
`2
`
`

`
`combination of existing cash, including proceeds from the sale of Old Merck’s interest in Merial Limited, the sale or
`redemption of investments and the issuance of debt.
`
`The combined company has a research and development pipeline with greater depth and breadth and
`many promising drug candidates, a significantly broader portfolio of medicines and an expanded presence in key
`international markets, particularly in high-growth emerging markets. The Company anticipates that the efficiencies
`gained from the Merger will allow it to invest in promising pipeline candidates, as well as strategic external research
`and development opportunities.
`
`The combination increased the Company’s pipeline of early, mid- and late stage product candidates,
`including a significant increase in the number of potential medicines the Company has in Phase III development to
`19 candidates. Additionally, a number of candidates are currently under review in the United States and
`internationally.
`
`The Merger also is expected to accelerate the expansion into therapeutic areas that Old Merck has focused
`on in recent years with the addition of Schering-Plough’s established presence and expertise in oncology,
`neuroscience and novel biologics. Further, the Merger is expected to broaden the Company’s commercial portfolio
`with leading franchises in key therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular, respiratory, oncology, neuroscience,
`infectious diseases, immunology and women’s health. Additionally, the combined company is expected to realize
`potential benefits from its animal health business and portfolio of consumer health brands, including Claritin,
`Coppertone and Dr. Scholl’s. Many of the legacy Schering-Plough’s products are expected to have long periods of
`marketing exclusivity and, by leveraging the combined company’s expanded product offerings, the Company
`expects to benefit from additional revenue growth opportunities. For example, the combined company is expected
`to have expanded opportunities for life-cycle management through the introduction of potential new combinations
`and formulations of existing products of the two legacy companies. Also, the Company will have an expanded
`global presence and a more geographically diverse revenue base. Schering-Plough’s significant international
`presence will accelerate Old Merck’s own international growth efforts.
`
`During 2009, revenue increased 15% driven largely by the incremental sales resulting from the inclusion
`of the post-Merger results of legacy Schering-Plough products, such as Remicade (infliximab), a treatment for
`inflammatory diseases, Temodar (temozolomide), a treatment for certain types of brain tumors, Nasonex
`(mometasone furoate monohydrate) nasal spray, an inhaled nasal corticosteroid for the treatment of nasal allergy
`symptoms, and PegIntron (peginterferon alpha-2b) for treating chronic hepatitis C, as well as the recognition of
`revenue from sales of Zetia (ezetimibe) and Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin), cholesterol modifying medicines.
`Prior to the Merger, sales of Zetia and Vytorin were recognized by the MSP Partnership and the results of Old
`Merck’s interest in the MSP Partnership were recorded in Equity income from affiliates. As a result of the Merger,
`the MSP Partnership is now wholly-owned by the Company and therefore revenues from these products for the post-
`Merger period are reflected in Sales. Additionally, the Company recognized sales in the post-Merger period from
`legacy Schering-Plough animal health and consumer health care products. Also contributing to the sales increase
`was growth in Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) and Janumet (sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride) for
`the treatment of type 2 diabetes, Isentress (raltegravir), an antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection,
`Singulair (montelukast sodium), a medicine indicated for the chronic treatment of asthma and the relief of
`symptoms of allergic rhinitis, Varivax (Varicella Virus Vaccine Live), a vaccine to help prevent chickenpox
`(varicella), and Pneumovax (pneumococcal vaccine polyvalent), a vaccine to help prevent pneumococcal disease.
`These increases were partially offset by lower sales of Fosamax (alendronate sodium) for the treatment and
`prevention of osteoporosis. Fosamax and Fosamax Plus D (alendronate sodium/cholecalciferol) lost market
`exclusivity for substantially all formulations in the United States in February 2008 and April 2008, respectively.
`Revenue was also negatively affected by lower sales of Gardasil [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11,
`16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant], a vaccine to help prevent cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancers, precancerous or
`dysplastic lesions, and genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (“HPV”) types 6, 11, 16 and 18, Cosopt
`(dorzolamide hydrochloride and timolol maleate ophthalmic solution)/Trusopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride oph-
`thalmic solution), ophthalmic products which lost U.S. market exclusivity in October 2008, and lower revenue from
`the Company’s relationship with AstraZeneca LP (“AZLP”). Other products experiencing declines include RotaTeq
`(Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, Pentavalent), a vaccine to help protect against rotavirus gastroenteritis in infants and
`
`3
`
`

`
`children, Zocor (simvastatin), the Company’s statin for modifying cholesterol, and Primaxin (imipenem and
`cilastatin sodium) for the treatment of bacterial infections.
`
`As a result of the Merger, the Company expects to achieve substantial cost savings across all areas,
`including from consolidation in both sales and marketing and research and development, the application of the
`Company’s lean manufacturing and sourcing strategies to the expanded operations, and the full integration of the
`MSP Partnership.
`
`In February 2010, the Company announced the first phase of a new global restructuring program (the
`“Merger Restructuring Program”) in conjunction with the integration of the legacy Merck and legacy Schering-
`Plough businesses. This Merger Restructuring Program is intended to optimize the cost structure of the combined
`Company. As part of the first phase of the Merger Restructuring Program, by the end of 2012, the Company expects
`to reduce its total workforce by approximately 15% across all areas of the Company worldwide. The Company also
`plans to eliminate 2,500 vacant positions as part of the first phase of the program. These workforce reductions will
`primarily come from the elimination of duplicative positions in sales, administrative and headquarters organiza-
`tions, as well as from the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities and research and development operations.
`The Company will continue to hire new employees in strategic growth areas of the business during this period.
`Certain actions, such as the ongoing reevaluation of manufacturing and research and development facilities
`worldwide, have not yet been completed, but will be included later in 2010 in other phases of the Merger
`Restructuring Program. In connection with the first phase of the Merger Restructuring Program, separation costs
`under the Company’s existing severance programs worldwide were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009 to the
`extent such costs were probable and reasonably estimable. The Company recorded pretax restructuring costs of
`$1.5 billion, primarily employee separation costs, related to the Merger Restructuring Program in the fourth quarter
`of 2009. This first phase of the Merger Restructuring Program is expected to be completed by the end of 2012 with
`the total pretax costs estimated to be $2.6 billion to $3.3 billion. The Company estimates that approximately 85% of
`the cumulative pretax costs relate to cash outlays, primarily related to employee separation expense. Approximately
`15% of the cumulative pretax costs are non-cash, relating primarily to the accelerated depreciation of facilities to be
`closed or divested.
`
`The Company expects this first phase of the Merger Restructuring Program to yield annual savings in
`2012 of approximately $2.6 billion to $3.0 billion. These anticipated savings relate only to the first phase of the
`Merger Restructuring Program and therefore are only a portion of the estimated $3.5 billion of incremental annual
`savings originally disclosed when the Merger was announced. The Company expects that additional savings will be
`generated by subsequent phases of the Merger Restructuring Program that will be announced later this year, as well
`as by non-restructuring related activities, such as procurement savings initiatives. These cost savings, which are
`expected to come from all areas of the Company’s pharmaceutical business, are in addition to the previously
`announced ongoing cost reduction initiatives at both legacy companies.
`
`As a result of the Merger, the Company obtained a controlling interest in the MSP Partnership and it is
`now owned 100% by the Company. Accordingly, the Company was required to remeasure Merck’s previously held
`equity interest in the MSP Partnership at its merger-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain in earnings. As a
`result, the Company recorded a gain of $7.5 billion recognized in Other (income) expense, net in 2009. Also during
`2009, Old Merck sold its 50% interest in Merial Limited (“Merial”) to sanofi-aventis for $4 billion in cash. The sale
`resulted in the recognition of a $3.2 billion gain reflected in Other (income) expense, net in 2009. See Note 10 to the
`consolidated financial statements in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” below for further
`information.
`
`Earnings per common share (“EPS”) assuming dilution for 2009 were $5.65, which reflect a net impact of
`$2.40 resulting from gains related to the MSP Partnership and the sale of Merial, partially offset by increased
`expenses from the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, restructuring and merger-related costs. EPS in
`2009 were also affected by the dilutive impact of shares issued in the Merger.
