Pfizer Investor Information
On May 22, 2013, Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) commenced an offer to exchange (the “exchange offer”) up to 400,985,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Zoetis common stock”) of Zoetis Inc. (“Zoetis”) for outstanding shares of common stock of Pfizer (“Pfizer common stock”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as described in further detail in the Prospectus, dated June 17, 2013 (the “Prospectus”).
Pursuant to the exchange offer, for each $100 of shares of Pfizer common stock accepted in the exchange offer, holders of Pfizer common stock will receive approximately $107.52 of shares of Zoetis common stock, subject to an upper limit of 0.9898 shares of Zoetis common stock per share of Pfizer common stock (the “upper limit”). The average value of the two stocks for purposes of calculating the exchange ratio will be determined by reference to the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of Pfizer common stock and Zoetis common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including the expiration date of the exchange offer (the “Averaging Period”), which will be June 17, 18 and 19, 2013, unless the exchange offer is extended. The Averaging Period will not change, however, if the exchange offer is extended solely as a result of the automatic extension triggered by the upper limit.
Pfizer will provide on this website the daily VWAP of both Pfizer common stock and Zoetis common stock, together with an indicative exchange ratio and the upper limit and whether the upper limit is in effect, for each of the trading days that the exchange offer is open, except that no indicative exchange ratios will be provided for the first two days of the exchange offer period as such values require daily VWAP data for three trading days.
The exchange offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 19, 2013, unless the exchange offer is extended or terminated, except with respect to shares of Pfizer common stock held through certain Pfizer savings plans which cannot be withdrawn after 7:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 19, 2013 (unless extended). On the expiration date of the exchange offer, by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, Pfizer will announce on this website and by press release the final calculated per-share values and the final exchange ratio showing the number of shares of Zoetis common stock that will be exchanged for each share of Pfizer common stock accepted in the exchange offer and state whether the upper limit is in effect. If the upper limit is in effect at that time, then the exchange ratio will be fixed at the upper limit and the exchange offer will be automatically extended until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the second following trading day to permit stockholders to tender or withdraw their shares of Pfizer common stock during those days. Any changes in the price of the shares of Pfizer common stock or Zoetis common stock on these additional days of the exchange offer period will not, however, affect the exchange ratio.
If the exchange offer is oversubscribed and Pfizer cannot accept all tenders of Pfizer common stock at the exchange ratio, then all shares of Pfizer common stock that are validly tendered will generally be accepted for exchange on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered. We refer to this as “proration.” Stockholders who beneficially own “odd-lots” (less than 100 shares in the aggregate) of Pfizer common stock and who validly tender all their shares will not be subject to proration (other than participants who hold odd-lot shares as a participant in certain Pfizer savings plans), assuming such stockholders request such preferential treatment in the letter of transmittal.
The completion of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions as specified in the Prospectus. Pfizer may waive any or all of the conditions to the exchange offer, subject to limited exceptions.
The information on this website is being provided solely in connection with the exchange offer and should not be used for any other purpose. You should refer to the Prospectus for additional information about the exchange offer. A copy of the Prospectus, forms of Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and a Notice of Withdrawal, a “Questions and Answers” document, the Pfizer press release announcing the exchange offer, and information for savings plan participants are available through the links below.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this communication relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking” statements, and reflect Zoetis’s and Pfizer’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events and performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “believe,” “seek,” “continue,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” or the negative version of these words or comparable words or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of future performance, actions or events. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, actions or events. These matters involve risks and uncertainties as discussed in Pfizer’s and Zoetis’s periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, and the Prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Pfizer’s and Zoetis’s forward-looking statements. This communication also contains statements about the exchange offer. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Pfizer’s or Zoetis’s forward-looking statements with respect to the exchange offer, including the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions of the exchange offer, and risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Pfizer’s or Zoetis’s financial condition, results or operations or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Zoetis or Pfizer, and are potentially inaccurate assumptions. Investors should not put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Zoetis and Pfizer undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.

INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROSPECTUS, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AND BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION. None of Pfizer, Zoetis or any of their respective directors or officers or the dealer managers appointed with respect to the exchange offer makes any recommendation as to whether you should participate in the exchange offer. This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a recommendation as to whether investors should participate in the exchange offer. The offer will be made solely by the Prospectus.
Holders of Pfizer common stock may obtain the Prospectus, and other related documents filed with the SEC, at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, and may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

The SEC also maintains a website that contains reports, proxy statements and other information that Pfizer and Zoetis file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov. Holders of Pfizer common stock may also obtain a copy of the Prospectus by clicking on the appropriate link on this website. Alternatively, Georgeson Inc., the information agent for the exchange offer, will upon request, arrange to send the Prospectus to holders of Pfizer common stock who call 1-866-628-6024 (toll-free in the United States), 1-800-223-2064 (toll-free for banks and brokers), 00800-3814-3814 (toll-free in Sweden), or +1-781-575-3340 (all others outside the U.S.).
Glossary of Terms
daily VWAP: VWAP for the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as is the official open of trading on the NYSE), and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York city time (or such other time as is the official close of trading on the NYSE), except that such data will only take into account adjustments made to reported trades included by 4:10 p.m., New York City time.
exchange ratio: The number of shares of Zoetis common stock that will be exchanged for each share of Pfizer common stock accepted in the exchange offer. The final exchange ratio will be available on this website and separately published by press release by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. In addition, the final exchange ratio may be obtained from the information agent, Georgeson Inc., at 1-866-628-6024 (toll-free in the United States), 1-800-223-2064 (toll-free banks and brokers), 00800-3814-3814 (toll-free in Sweden), or +1-781-575-3340 (all others outside the U.S.).
final calculated per-share value: The final per-share value of Pfizer common stock and the final per-share value of Zoetis common stock to be used for purposes of calculating the final exchange ratio, equal to the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAP for Pfizer common stock and Zoetis common stock, as applicable, on the NYSE during the Averaging Period.
indicative calculated per-share value: During the exchange offer, this website will display indicative calculated per-share values for Pfizer common stock and Zoetis common stock. These indicative values are displayed to assist tendering stockholders in understanding how the number of shares of Zoetis common stock they would receive in the exchange offer will be calculated but are not indicative of the final exchange ratio.
From the third trading day until the first day of the Averaging Period, the indicative calculated per-share value of (1) Pfizer common stock published on this website will equal the average of the daily VWAP of Pfizer common stock on that day and each of two prior trading days, and (2) Zoetis common stock published on this website will equal the average of the daily VWAP of Zoetis common stock on that day and each of the two prior trading days. The data used to calculate such indicative calculated per-share values will not, however, be included in the calculation of the final calculated per-share value for either Pfizer common stock or Zoetis common stock. During the Averaging Period, the indicative calculated per-share values published on this website will equal (1) on the first day of the Averaging Period, the actual intra-day VWAP during the elapsed portion of the first day of the Averaging Period and (2) on the second day of the Averaging Period, the daily VWAP for the first day of the Averaging Period averaged with the actual intra-day VWAP during the elapsed portion of the second day of the Averaging Period; and (3) on the third day of the Averaging Period, the daily VWAP for the first and second days of the Averaging Period averaged with the actual intra-day VWAP for the elapsed portion of the third day of the Averaging Period. The data used to calculate such indicative calculated per-share values will be used in determining the final calculated per-share values.
intra-day VWAP: Intra-day VWAP means VWAP for the period beginning at the official open of trading on the NYSE and ending at a specified time in such day. Please note that the data used to derive the intra-day VWAP published on this website during the Averaging Period is subject to a 30 minute reporting and upload delay.
proration: If the exchange offer is oversubscribed and Pfizer cannot fulfill all tenders of Pfizer’s common stock at the exchange ratio, then all shares of Pfizer’s common stock that are validly tendered will generally be accepted for exchange on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered. We refer to this as “proration.” Stockholders (other than participants in certain Pfizer savings plans) who beneficially own “odd-lots” (that is, less than 100 shares of Pfizer common stock in the aggregate) and who validly tender all their shares will not be subject to proration, assuming such stockholders request such preferential treatment in the letter of transmittal. Proration for each tendering stockholder will be based on the number of shares of Pfizer common stock tendered by that stockholder in the exchange offer, and not on that stockholder’s aggregate ownership of Pfizer common stock.
VWAP: The “volume-weighted average price” per share of the applicable stock on the NYSE during the period specified, as obtained from Bloomberg L.P.
