7/29/2025Brandy Flores, Pfizer Inc.Pfizer Inc. values the opportunity to provide comments to the Board regarding proposed rule revisions governing
licensure application and reporting timelines for Wholesaler entities during a Change of Ownership in 3 CCR 719-1-
15.01.14b. The suggested revisions to this rule would improve our ability to provide the Board with a timely,
complete, and accurate application following a Change of Ownership and thus compliantly maintain patient supply
of medicines in Colorado.
Changes of Ownership such as acquisitions often require multiple approvals by regulating entities at federal and
international levels. The existing application submission and notification timelines that occur prior to and on an
ownership change date, respectively, can present a unique challenge during acquisitions wherein approvals are
typically not final or known far enough in advance to provide complete and accurate information. Additionally,
certain confidential information about the company subject to an acquisition that is required for an application is
often not accessible to the acquiring company until after the change has occurred. Pfizer Inc. strongly believes that
the Board’s proposed revisions to these timelines are practical and reasonable in terms of chronology and duration
to submit required materials and notify the Board once an acquisition has closed.
The proposed revision to 3 CCR 719-1-15.01.14b would also align the Wholesalers application timeline following a
Change of Ownership to the Board’s application timeline required for a change in name or location (3 CCR 719-1-
15.01.14a) and the application timeline following a Transfer of Ownership for other licensed entities (3 CCR 719-1-
5.00.40). The proposed rulemaking would create consistency in application and reporting timelines that can support
efforts to maintain compliant and complete licensure across designations.
Pfizer Inc. appreciates the Board's efforts to ensure patient safety and maintain the integrity of the Colorado
pharmaceutical supply chain and recognizes the Board’s interest in being made aware of Wholesalers’ Changes of
Ownership in a timely manner. As a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, we are committed to full compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations and prioritize our responsibility to patients.

Re: Public Comment on Proposed Rule – Reporting Change of Ownership for
Wholesalers
To Whom it May Concern:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed rule concerning the
reporting of a change of ownership for wholesalers.
The recommended revision—requiring submission of an application within 30 days after
a change of ownership—offers a more practical and achievable timeframe. Ownership
transitions often involve multiple layers of approval and present unique challenges
during acquisitions, where final determinations are frequently unavailable early enough
to supply complete and accurate information. Additionally, a company’s confidential
acquisition details typically cannot be shared before the change occurs, making the
current advance-notice requirement difficult to meet.
Similarly, the proposed requirement to notify the Board within five (5) business days of a
change of ownership provides necessary flexibility. This allowance accommodates
weekends and unforeseen delays, enabling licensees to remain compliant while
ensuring the Board receives accurate and timely information.
Thank you for considering these comments in your rulemaking process.
