Pittsburgh (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Promoted from Head of North America

Mylan Inc. (NYSE: MYL) today announced the appointment of Heather
Bresch as Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Bresch served previously as
Head of North America and Chief Integration Officer. As Chief
Operation Officer, Ms. Bresch will be responsible for Mylan's global
commercial and technical operations, strategic planning, business
development and international affairs, which includes development of
Mylan's antiretroviral (ARV) franchise. She will also continue to
oversee the integration of Mylan's recent acquisition of Merck
Generics.

Ms. Bresch has spent fifteen years with Mylan in various positions
of increasing responsibility throughout the company. Most recently,
as Head of North America, she had responsibility for Mylan's
operations including Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Mylan Technologies, and
UDL Laboratories. Prior to this, she served as Senior Vice President
of Strategic Development in the Office of the CEO.

In her role as Chief Integration Officer, in addition to leading
the integration team working with Merck Generics, Ms. Bresch has
overseen the successful integration of Matrix Laboratories, in which
Mylan took a controlling stake earlier this year.

Ms. Bresch has been the only non-CEO to serve as Chairman of the
Generic Pharmaceutical Association (GPhA), serving an unprecedented
two consecutive terms, and is widely acknowledged in the industry for
playing a critical role in the passage of the 2003 Medicare
Modernization Act, a Congressional revision to the Hatch-Waxman Act
of 1984 that focused on ensuring consumers' access to affordable
pharmaceuticals.

Mylan's Vice Chairman and CEO Robert J. Coury commented: "At this
stage in Mylan's history, it is imperative that we have a Chief
Operating Officer in place that knows our company, is a leader in the
industry and has the experience and energy required to execute on the
opportunities of the new Mylan. Heather is uniquely qualified for
this challenging position, given her in-depth knowledge of Mylan,
Matrix and Merck Generics and her strong relationships with
management and employees across those organizations as a result of
leading the integration efforts. She has played an instrumental role
in Mylan's strategic development over the last several years, and
will continue to be a key driver of the Company's future success."

Ms. Bresch earned an MBA and an undergraduate degree in
international studies and political science from West Virginia
University.
