REVOCATION OF CONSENT STATEMENT
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY
IN OPPOSITION TO THE SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS
BY PFIZER INC.
PRELIMINARY COPY; SUBJECT TO COMPLETION
December , 1999
The board of directors of Warner-Lambert Company, a Delaware corporation,
is furnishing this Revocation of Consent Statement and the accompanying BLUE
Revocation of Consent Card to the holders of the outstanding shares of
Warner-Lambert's common stock, par value $1.00 per share, in opposition to the
solicitation by Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation, of written consents from
the stockholders of Warner-Lambert.
Beginning in November, 1998, your Warner-Lambert board of directors, with
the assistance of management and outside advisors, commenced a review of
Warner-Lambert's strategic alternatives in order to evaluate the company's
long-term position in the pharmaceuticals and health care industries and to
develop a strategic plan for the future. These actions stemmed from your board's
ongoing focus on enhancing value for the stockholders of Warner-Lambert. After
months of review by management and outside consultants, and subsequent review of
management's evaluation by the board of directors, the board concluded that the
most attractive value-enhancing path for Warner-Lambert was to combine on a
'merger of equals' basis with a strategic partner of comparable size with
complementary products and pipeline. American Home Products Corporation was
identified as the most attractive partner.
After more than four months of discussions between the parties, on
November 3, 1999, your Warner-Lambert board unanimously approved a merger of
equals business combination of Warner-Lambert and American Home Products which
would create the world's largest pharmaceutical and consumer health care
products company. To effect that combination, the board approved, and
Warner-Lambert entered into, a merger agreement with American Home Products.
Under the terms of that merger agreement, Warner-Lambert stockholders will
receive 1.4919 shares of common stock of the combined entity in exchange for
each share of Warner-Lambert common stock. After the merger is completed, the
current stockholders of each company will own approximately 50 percent of the
combined company. The merger of equals transaction is intended to be accounted
for as a pooling of interests and to be tax free to the stockholders of both
companies.
On November 4, 1999, Pfizer announced an unsolicited conditional merger
proposal, under which each share of Warner-Lambert common stock would be
exchanged for 2.5 shares of common stock of Pfizer. Pfizer's proposal was
conditioned on the elimination of certain provisions of Warner-Lambert's merger
agreement with American Home Products relating to termination fees payable under
certain circumstances to American Home Products and the elimination of the stock
option agreement between Warner-Lambert and American Home Products. On
November 4, 1999, your Warner-Lambert board of directors determined that it was
not in a position at that time to take any action with respect to the Pfizer
proposal. Because Pfizer conditioned its proposal on the elimination of
contractual provisions in Warner-Lambert's agreement with American Home
Products -- which Warner-Lambert has no ability by itself to remove and had no
reason to believe that American Home Products would remove -- your board was
unable to conclude that Pfizer's conditional proposal on its face was reasonably
likely to be completed. Your board at that time reaffirmed its belief that the
strategic combination with American Home Products is in the best interests of
the Warner-Lambert stockholders.
On December , 1999, Pfizer commenced a consent solicitation in an effort
to replace your duly-elected Warner-Lambert board with a slate of Pfizer
nominees. Accordingly, a consent in favor of the Pfizer proposals is a consent
to turn over control of your Warner-Lambert board to Pfizer. However, Pfizer
still has not removed its self-imposed conditions to its acquisition proposal.
Moreover, Pfizer is contesting actively Warner-Lambert's claim that Pfizer
breached its agreements with Warner-Lambert relating to Lipitor'r',
Warner-Lambert's highly successful cholesterol-lowering drug, entitling
1
<PAGE>
Warner-Lambert to terminate those agreements and reclaim the full value of
Lipitor'r' for the benefit of its stockholders. Especially under these
circumstances, we believe your current Warner-Lambert board is in the best
position to evaluate the strategic alternatives available to Warner-Lambert and
to decide on the action that is in the best interests of Warner-Lambert's
stockholders. THEREFORE, WE ARE URGING YOU NOT TO GIVE ANY CONSENTS IN RESPONSE
TO PFIZER'S SOLICITATION, AND WE ARE SEEKING THE REVOCATION OF ANY CONSENTS THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN RESPONSE TO PFIZER'S SOLICITATION.
We believe that a Warner-Lambert board comprised of Pfizer's hand-picked
nominees would have substantial conflicts of interest in evaluating these
matters and would only attempt to complete a transaction with Pfizer. Because of
these conflicts of interest, Pfizer's hand-picked nominees cannot be counted on
to serve the best interests of Warner-Lambert stockholders, particularly with
respect to matters concerning Pfizer and its conditional proposal. Your
Warner-Lambert board believes that your interests will be best served if
Warner-Lambert's current directors, acting independently of Pfizer, evaluate,
decide and implement Warner-Lambert's strategic plans in furtherance of its
commitment to shareholder value. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WARNER-LAMBERT IS
ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN OPPOSING PFIZER'S ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR
WARNER-LAMBERT BOARD. IN THIS REGARD, IT HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE YOUR
WARNER-LAMBERT BOARD'S POSITION THAT IT WILL RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO ANY PFIZER
PROPOSAL WHICH IS REASONABLY LIKELY TO RESULT IN A FINANCIALLY SUPERIOR PROPOSAL
AND WHICH IS REASONABLY CAPABLE OF COMPLETION.
YOUR WARNER-LAMBERT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSES THE PFIZER CONSENT
SOLICITATION AND URGES YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY
PFIZER. THE BOARD URGES YOU TO DISCARD ANY WHITE CONSENT CARDS SENT TO YOU BY
PFIZER.
IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY SIGNED AND RETURNED ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD TO
PFIZER, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. THE BOARD URGES YOU TO SIGN,
DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED BLUE REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID
ENVELOPE PROVIDED.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY SIGNED AND RETURNED ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD
TO PFIZER, YOU MAY STILL SEND A BLUE REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD TO
WARNER-LAMBERT, WHICH WILL HAVE NO LEGAL EFFECT BUT WOULD ASSIST US IN
MONITORING THE PROGRESS OF THE CONSENT SOLICITATION.
IF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE,
ONLY YOUR BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE CAN EXECUTE A REVOCATION OF CONSENT FOR
YOUR SHARES, AND ONLY PURSUANT TO YOUR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, YOU
ARE URGED TO REJECT PFIZER BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE
REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD PROMPTLY, USING THE ACCOMPANYING POSTAGE-PAID
ENVELOPE PROVIDED BY YOUR BANK, BROKER OR NOMINEE.
This Revocation of Consent Statement and the enclosed BLUE Revocation of
Consent Card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about December ,
1999.

REASONS YOUR WARNER-LAMBERT BOARD
OPPOSES THE PFIZER CONSENT SOLICITATION
Pfizer is soliciting consents in favor of five separate proposals described
under 'Pfizer's Proposals' on page 10, each designed to enable Pfizer to take
control of your Warner-Lambert board. WE BELIEVE THAT PFIZER'S PROPOSALS WILL
SERIOUSLY DISADVANTAGE WARNER-LAMBERT STOCKHOLDERS AND URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN AND
TO DISCARD ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY PFIZER.
PFIZER'S HAND-PICKED NOMINEES HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND
LACK EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH CARE COMPANY. Pfizer's
acknowledged purpose in pursuing its consent solicitation is to replace your
company's duly elected board of directors with its own hand-picked nominees in
order to facilitate the consummation of a merger between Pfizer and
Warner-Lambert. While your board recognizes that the Pfizer nominees, if
elected, would have certain state law fiduciary obligations to Warner-Lambert
and its stockholders, your board firmly believes that the Pfizer
nominees -- notwithstanding Pfizer's assertion of their 'independence' -- cannot
be expected to ignore the best interests of Pfizer and its
stockholders -- interests which are not necessarily in harmony with your
interests as a Warner-Lambert stockholder. In particular, if Pfizer's nominees
are elected as your directors, conflicts of interests are inevitable, since IT
IS IN PFIZER'S INTEREST TO TRY TO ACQUIRE WARNER-LAMBERT ON TERMS MOST FAVORABLE
TO PFIZER.
Moreover, Warner-Lambert has recently brought legal action against Pfizer
seeking a declaratory judgment that Warner-Lambert may terminate Pfizer's rights
to a portion of the revenues derived from the sale of our drug Lipitor'r' and to
reacquire such rights for Warner-Lambert and its stockholders. If we are
successful, Pfizer would lose and Warner-Lambert would gain billions of dollars
of revenue each year. TO ALLOW PFIZER'S NOMINEES TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BOARD
AND MAKE DECISIONS ON YOUR BEHALF IN THIS IMPORTANT ACTION AGAINST PFIZER CANNOT
POSSIBLY BE IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS -- ESPECIALLY WHEN PFIZER'S INTERESTS ARE
DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO YOUR INTERESTS AS A WARNER-LAMBERT STOCKHOLDER.
Additionally, because Pfizer competes directly with Warner-Lambert in the
pharmaceutical business, the Pfizer nominees would be subject to potential
conflicts of interest in serving as directors of Warner-Lambert.
We believe that your Warner-Lambert board, not Pfizer's proposed slate of
hand-picked nominees, is in the best position to evaluate Warner-Lambert's
strategic alternatives, decide on the action that is in the best interests of
Warner-Lambert's stockholders and implement that decision. Your board consists
of ten directors -- nine of whom are independent -- who have substantial
experience in running a large pharmaceutical and consumer health care company.
It cannot possibly be in your best interests to turn control of your company
over to directors picked by Pfizer when Pfizer has made a proposal that on its
face cannot be consummated or when your company has such a major claim that has
the potential to dramatically increase the value of Warner-Lambert and decrease
the value of Pfizer.
PFIZER'S ACQUISITION PROPOSAL IS ON ITS FACE ILLUSORY. Pfizer's merger
proposal is conditioned on the elimination of certain provisions of our merger
agreement with American Home Products, including provisions providing for
termination fees payable by Warner-Lambert if the agreement is terminated under
certain circumstances -- including circumstances under which the board of
directors of Warner-Lambert determines to recommend a competing proposal.
Pfizer's proposal is also conditioned on the elimination of the stock option
agreement between Warner-Lambert and American Home Products. Because the merger
agreement and the stock option agreement are enforceable contracts whose
provisions cannot be unilaterally waived by Warner-Lambert -- and because
American Home Products has indicated that it will not waive the provisions of
the agreements in question -- Pfizer's proposal is on its face illusory. Even if
Pfizer's nominees are elected to the board of Warner-Lambert, only in the event
that the Delaware courts invalidate the provisions in our agreements with
American Home Products -- provisions which your board believes to be valid and
enforceable -- or unless Pfizer eliminates the conditions to its acquisition
proposal, there is, in effect, no acquisition proposal from
3
<PAGE>
Pfizer to accept. Substituting Pfizer's hand-picked nominees for your
duly-elected board, without any acceptable proposal to consider, cannot possibly
serve your interests as a Warner-Lambert stockholder.
PFIZER COULD CHOOSE TO MAKE A REAL BID -- AND UNDER OUR MERGER AGREEMENT
WITH AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS WE COULD CONSIDER IT, AND ARE COMMITTED TO ACTING
APPROPRIATELY. Your board is committed to the creation of shareholder value.
Under our merger agreement with American Home Products, Warner-Lambert retained
the right to deal with acquisition proposals made to it by third parties
(including Pfizer). Specifically, if a proposal were made to Warner-Lambert
which its board, in good faith, believes is, or is reasonably likely to result
in, a 'superior proposal' -- that is, a proposal that (1) is better for its
stockholders from a financial point of view than the Warner-Lambert/American
Home Products combination and (2) is reasonably capable of being
completed -- then Warner-Lambert may enter into discussions and negotiations
with respect to such proposal. Your current Warner-Lambert board will respond
appropriately to any Pfizer proposal which meets this standard.
PFIZER'S ACQUISITION PROPOSAL, EVEN IF AMENDED TO BECOME UNCONDITIONAL,
CANNOT RESULT IN AN AGREEMENT WITH PFIZER, PROBABLY UNTIL AT LEAST MAY 15, 2000.
Further, even if Pfizer's nominees are elected and Pfizer makes its proposal
unconditional, Pfizer would not be able to acquire Warner-Lambert, and you would
not be able to receive shares of Pfizer stock in a merger, probably until at
least May 15, 2000 -- and possibly later due to state law and other regulatory
approvals that would be required before such merger could take place. Under the
terms of the existing American Home Products merger agreement, the American Home
Products merger is required to be submitted to you for your approval, and we
cannot terminate the American Home Products merger agreement prior to that
stockholder vote in order to accept a competing proposal. We have further agreed
with American Home Products that, unless all other conditions to the American
Home Products merger have been satisfied, the stockholder meeting to consider
the merger of equals with American Home Products will not be held prior to
May 15, 2000. Therefore, even if Pfizer's nominees were elected, those nominees
would be unable unilaterally to terminate the American Home Products merger
agreement and agree to a merger with Pfizer before May 15, 2000.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS
MERGER. You are not being asked to vote on our proposed merger of equals with
American Home Products now. You will be receiving a detailed joint proxy
statement/prospectus which will fully describe the proposed merger and the terms
of our merger agreement with American Home Products. You will have the
opportunity to vote on that merger of equals at a duly held meeting of
stockholders. We believe that it would be a mistake -- and detrimental to your
interests as stockholders of Warner-Lambert -- to deliver control of your
company to Pfizer at this critical time for Warner-Lambert. We believe it is
vital to continue to have directors in place who know Warner-Lambert, who have
run it so successfully over the years and who are committed to continuing to act
in the best interests of Warner-Lambert and its stockholders in this rapidly
evolving situation.
For the foregoing reasons, your Warner-Lambert board believes that the
interests of Warner-Lambert stockholders are best served if Warner-Lambert's
current directors, acting independently of Pfizer, continue to manage
Warner-Lambert. You are entitled to have a board that is fully committed to
acting in your best interests, as your current board has demonstrated it has
done time and time again.
YOUR WARNER-LAMBERT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSES THE PFIZER CONSENT
SOLICITATION AND URGES YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY
PFIZER. THE BOARD URGES YOU TO DISCARD ANY WHITE CONSENT CARDS SENT TO YOU BY
PFIZER.
IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY SIGNED AND RETURNED ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD TO
PFIZER, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. THE BOARD URGES YOU TO SIGN,
DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED BLUE REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID
ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY SIGNED AND RETURNED ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD
TO PFIZER, YOU MAY STILL SEND A BLUE REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD TO
WARNER-LAMBERT, WHICH WILL HAVE NO LEGAL EFFECT BUT WOULD ASSIST US IN
MONITORING THE PROGRESS OF THE CONSENT SOLICITATION.
IF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE,
ONLY YOUR BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE CAN EXECUTE A REVOCATION OF CONSENT FOR
YOUR SHARES, AND ONLY PURSUANT TO YOUR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, YOU
ARE URGED TO REJECT PFIZER BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE
REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD PROMPTLY, USING THE ACCOMPANYING POSTAGE-PAID

THE CONSENT PROCEDURE
Article III, Section 11 of Warner-Lambert's by-laws establishes orderly
procedures for the setting of a record date for consent solicitations. This
section of the by-laws provides that any stockholder of Warner-Lambert seeking
to have Warner-Lambert's stockholders authorize or take corporate action by
written consent shall, by written notice to Warner-Lambert's Secretary, request
Warner-Lambert's board of directors to fix a record date. The Warner-Lambert
board shall, within ten days of receipt of such notice, adopt a resolution
fixing the record date; the record date selected shall not precede the date of
the resolution and shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the
resolution was adopted. If the Warner-Lambert board fails to fix a record date,
then the record date shall be the day on which the first written consent is duly
delivered to Warner-Lambert pursuant to Section 213(b) of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
On , Pfizer requested that Warner-Lambert's board
of directors fix a record date for the Pfizer consent solicitation. On
, the Warner-Lambert board fixed a record date of
(the 'Record Date') for determining stockholders
entitled to grant or revoke their written consents with respect to the Pfizer
proposals discussed above. You are entitled to grant or revoke consents for all
shares of Warner-Lambert common stock that you owned on the Record Date (even if
you subsequently sold or transferred any of those shares). As of the Record
Date, there were shares of Warner-Lambert common stock issued and
outstanding.
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless otherwise provided in a
corporation's certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing setting
forth the action to be taken are signed by holders of outstanding shares having
not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize
or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon
were present and voted.
Warner-Lambert's certificate of incorporation does not prohibit stockholder
action by written consent. The unrevoked consent of the holders of not less than
a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the Record Date must be
obtained within the time limits specified herein to adopt the Pfizer proposals.
Each of Pfizer's proposals is conditioned upon the adoption of each of the other
Pfizer proposals.
Warner-Lambert's by-laws provide that each stockholder shall be entitled to
vote each share of stock which has voting rights on the matter in question.
Under Delaware law, no written consent is effective to take the action referred
to therein unless, within 60 days of the date of earliest dated consent
delivered, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders
required to take such action are properly delivered to the corporation. Failure
to consent to any of the Pfizer proposals will have the effect of a vote against
those proposals.
A stockholder may revoke any previously signed consent by signing, dating
and returning a BLUE Revocation of Consent Card included with this Revocation of
Consent Statement. If no direction is made on the Revocation of Consent Card
with respect to one or more of the Pfizer proposals, or if a stockholder marks
either the 'revoke consent' box or the 'abstain' box on the Revocation of
Consent Card with respect to one or more of those proposals, all previously
executed consents with respect to such proposals will be revoked. Stockholders
are urged, however, to deliver all Revocation of Consent Cards to Georgeson
Shareholder Communications Inc., the firm assisting Warner-Lambert in this
solicitation, at 17 State Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004. A
consent may also be revoked by delivery of a written revocation of consent to
Warner-Lambert or Pfizer. Warner-Lambert requests that if a revocation of
consent is delivered to Pfizer, a copy of the revocation also be delivered to
Warner-Lambert, c/o Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. at the address set
forth above, so that Warner-Lambert will be aware of all revocations. Any
Revocation of Consent may itself be revoked at any time by signing, dating and
returning a later-dated consent card to Pfizer.
If your shares are registered in your own name(s), please sign, date and
promptly mail the enclosed BLUE Revocation of Consent Card, using the
postage-paid envelope provided.
If you have previously signed and returned a white consent card to Pfizer,
you have every right to change your mind. Only your latest dated card will
count. You may revoke any earlier dated
6
<PAGE>
consent returned to Pfizer by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE
Revocation of Consent Card using the postage-paid envelope provided.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank nominee or
other institution, only it can execute a BLUE Revocation of Consent Card with
respect to your shares, and can only do so after receiving your specific
instructions. Accordingly, please sign, date and mail the enclosed BLUE
Revocation of Consent Card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You should
also contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for a
BLUE Revocation of Consent Card to be issued representing your shares.
After signing the enclosed BLUE Revocation of Consent Card, do not sign any
other cards. Do not even vote 'against' on Pfizer's white consent card; instead,
discard any white consent cards sent to you by Pfizer. Remember, your latest
dated card will revoke any previous consent or Revocation of Consent.
Warner-Lambert has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to
assist in communicating with stockholders in connection with the Pfizer consent
solicitation and to assist in our efforts to obtain revocations of consents. If
you have any questions about how to complete or submit your BLUE Revocation of
Consent Card or any other questions, Georgeson will be pleased to assist you.
You may call Georgeson toll-free at 1-800-223-2064.

CERTAIN LITIGATION
Following the announcement of the proposed merger of equals with American
Home Products, on November 4, 1999, an action was filed by Pfizer in the
Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County against Warner-Lambert,
members of the Warner-Lambert board of directors and American Home Products. The
complaint was amended on November 15, 1999. The amended complaint, among other
things, alleges that the provisions of the merger agreement which provide for a
termination fee and the granting of the stock option to American Home Products
under the Warner-Lambert stock option agreement are invalid, and seeks relief to
enjoin the implementation of those provisions. The complaint further alleges
that the provisions of the merger agreement which purportedly restrict
Warner-Lambert's board of directors from amending its shareholder rights plan
and from terminating the merger agreement under certain circumstances are also
invalid, and seeks to enjoin those provisions as well. The complaint also
alleges that the members of Warner-Lambert's board of directors have breached
their fiduciary duties by entering into the merger agreement and, in particular,
the provisions referred to above, and that American Home Products has aided and
abetted such breaches. Moreover, the complaint asserts that Warner-Lambert and
its directors breached their fiduciary duties to Warner-Lambert stockholders by
allegedly failing to waive the terms of a standstill agreement between
Warner-Lambert and Pfizer. The complaint claims that the members of
Warner-Lambert's board of directors were motivated in these alleged breaches by
a desire to retain their positions. The complaint alleges that entering into the
merger agreement constituted a breach of fiduciary duty by Warner-Lambert's
directors in that it purportedly 'chills' Pfizer's consent solicitation and
seeks an injunction against any action to eliminate or hinder Pfizer's consent
solicitation. The complaint seeks declaratory relief and incidental damages. On
November 17, 1999, Pfizer moved to preliminarily enjoin the merger. The parties
agreed to an expedited discovery schedule and the hearing on the motion for the
preliminary injunction has been set for January 31, 2000. On December 3, 1999,
Warner-Lambert and American Home Products each filed answers to the amended
complaint denying its substantive allegations. Warner-Lambert, its board of
directors and American Home Products believe that the action is without merit
and intend to defend vigorously against it.
On November 23, 1999, Pfizer filed an additional complaint against
Warner-Lambert and American Home Products alleging that Warner-Lambert breached
the standstill agreement between Pfizer and Warner-Lambert. The complaint also
alleges that American Home Products wrongfully interfered with Pfizer's
contractual relationship with Warner-Lambert by inducing Warner-Lambert's
alleged breach. The complaint seeks to enjoin the proposed merger of equals
between Warner-Lambert and American Home Products and to prevent American Home
Products from receiving any benefits from its actions. The complaint also seeks
a declaratory judgment that Pfizer has not breached the terms of the standstill
agreement or any of the agreements between Warner-Lambert and Pfizer governing
the co-promotion and marketing of Warner-Lambert's drug Lipitor'r'.
Warner-Lambert and American Home Products believe that the action is without
merit and intend to defend vigorously against it.
On November 29, 1999, Warner-Lambert filed counterclaims against Pfizer,
asserting that Pfizer has itself breached the Lipitor'r' agreements.
Warner-Lambert is seeking a declaratory judgment from the court that
Warner-Lambert is entitled to terminate the Lipitor'r' agreements. Upon motion
by Warner-Lambert, the court has scheduled a trial on the allegations of the
complaint and counterclaims for April 10, 2000. On December 8, 1999, American
Home Products filed an answer to Pfizer's complaint denying the substantive
allegations made against it. On December 17, 1999, Warner-Lambert filed a motion
for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin Pfizer from proceeding with its
consent solicitation pending a decision on Warner-Lambert's counterclaims
against Pfizer concerning Lipitor'r'.
In addition, approximately thirty-six lawsuits purporting to be class or
derivative actions have been filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware. The Delaware class actions have been consolidated by order of the
Chancery Court. One lawsuit purporting to be a class action has been filed in
the Superior Court of New Jersey, Morris County. Two lawsuits, one purporting to
be a class action and the other a derivative action, have been filed in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The consolidated
Delaware actions and the New Jersey actions name as defendants Warner-Lambert
and certain of its officers and directors. These actions assert claims for
breach of fiduciary duty based on allegations substantially identical to those
in the lawsuit filed by Pfizer. These
8
<PAGE>
actions also assert claims against American Home Products for aiding and
abetting the purported breaches of fiduciary duty by Warner Lambert and its
officers and directors. The actions seek an injunction of Warner-Lambert's
merger with American Home Products, an injunction of the termination fee and the
option granted to American Home Products and rescission or rescissory damages.
On December 9, 1999, Warner-Lambert and American Home Products filed a motion to
dismiss or stay the New Jersey state court action. Warner-Lambert, its officers
and board of directors and American Home Products believe that these actions are
without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them.

PFIZER'S PROPOSALS
Pfizer is soliciting consents in favor of five separate proposals, each
designed to enable Pfizer to take control of your Warner-Lambert board. Each of
the Pfizer proposals is set forth below. WE BELIEVE THAT PFIZER'S PROPOSALS WILL
SERIOUSLY DISADVANTAGE WARNER-LAMBERT STOCKHOLDERS AND URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN AND
TO DISCARD ANY WHITE CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY PFIZER.
Pfizer PROPOSAL 1:
Remove each of Robert N. Burt, Donald C. Clark, Lodewijk J.R. de Vink, John
A. Georges, William H. Gray III, William R. Howell, LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr.,
George A. Lorch, Alex J. Mandl and Michael I. Sovern, and any other person
(other than those elected pursuant to Pfizer's consent solicitation) elected or
appointed to the Warner-Lambert board of directors prior to the effective date
of Pfizer's proposals.
Pfizer PROPOSAL 2:
Amend Section 1 of Article IV of the Warner-Lambert by-laws to set the
number of directors of Warner-Lambert at seven.
Pfizer PROPOSAL 3:
Amend Section 2 of Article IV of the Warner-Lambert by-laws to provide that
vacancies on the Warner-Lambert board created as a result of the removal of
directors by Warner-Lambert stockholders may be filled only by a majority vote
of shares of Warner-Lambert common stock.
Pfizer PROPOSAL 4:
Elect James G. Brocksmith Jr., Wendell F. Bueche, Robert M. Lichten, Paul
M. Meister, Martin D. Payson, Thomas G. Plaskett and Sir Barrie Stephens, the
Pfizer nominees, to serve as directors of Warner-Lambert (or, if any such
nominee is unable to serve as a director of Warner-Lambert due to death,
disability or otherwise, any other person designated as a nominee by the
remaining Pfizer nominee or nominees).
Pfizer PROPOSAL 5:
Repeal each provision of Warner-Lambert's by-laws adopted after April 1,
1999 and before the effectiveness of the Pfizer proposals and the seating of the
Pfizer nominees.
Each of Pfizer's proposals is conditioned upon the adoption of each of the
other Pfizer proposals.
Pfizer's proposals 1, 2, 3, and 4, taken together, are designed to enable
Pfizer to take control of your company's board. Pfizer proposal 5 is designed to
nullify unspecified by-laws which may be adopted by your board in its efforts to
act in, and protect the interests of, Warner-Lambert's stockholders and to
retain for Pfizer's nominees the ability to make unspecified by-laws thereafter.
As of the date of this Revocation of Consent Statement, Warner-Lambert has not
adopted or amended any by-laws subsequent to April 1, 1999.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
All non-employee directors of Warner-Lambert receive an annual fee of
$40,000 and a fee of $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the board of
directors or of a committee of the board of directors, as well as for attendance
at or participation in special meetings and other board-related activities. Non-
employee directors are also reimbursed for their expenses. In addition, each
director who chairs a committee receives an annual fee of $3,000. Directors may
elect to defer receipt of their fees.
14
<PAGE>
The provisions of the Warner-Lambert stock plans relating to deferred
compensation for directors permit non-employee directors to elect to defer their
annual director fees and meeting attendance fees, and such deferred amounts are
credited to an account which accrues interest annually or to a Warner-Lambert
common stock-equivalent account which is credited as of the day the deferred
fees would have been payable with stock credits equal to the number of shares of
Warner-Lambert common stock that could have been purchased with the amount of
such deferred fees. Directors may not make withdrawals from their deferred
accounts until they are no longer members of the board. The provisions relating
to directors' deferred compensation provide that all stock credits are converted
to the account which accrues interest annually and that all amounts which
participating directors had previously elected to defer are payable following a
change in control of Warner-Lambert (as defined in such plan) in accordance with
a distribution schedule the director elects.
In order to further align the interests of the directors with
Warner-Lambert's stockholders, an amount equal to one-half of the retainer in
effect on January 1 of each year, for a maximum period of ten years, is made
available to non-employee directors for crediting to their Warner-Lambert common
stock-equivalent accounts.
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Plan for Directors of Warner-Lambert
Company, each non-employee director of Warner-Lambert receives a grant of 12,000
shares of Warner-Lambert common stock, subject to certain restrictions. The
director is not entitled to delivery of the share certificate, and the shares
are subject to transfer restrictions for a period from the date of grant until
the earliest to occur of certain specified events. If the director remains a
member of the board for the entire period during which the restrictions apply,
the restrictions will lapse with respect to one-tenth of the shares for each
full year of service as a director. In the event of a change in control of
Warner-Lambert, directors generally will receive the full value of the shares
previously granted by delivery of a cash payment. A change in control under the
Restricted Stock Plan for Directors is generally deemed to have occurred upon
the acquisition of the voting power of 20% or more of Warner-Lambert's
outstanding securities, consummation of a merger, consolidation, sale or
disposition of substantially all of Warner-Lambert's assets or a change in more
than half of Warner-Lambert's board of directors. If Pfizer is successful in its
solicitation of consents to remove the directors of Warner-Lambert or in its
efforts to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Warner-Lambert
common stock, a change of control for purposes of the plan will occur. See
'Termination and Change in Control Arrangements and Other Matters' in Annex A
of this document for additional information. Subject to the foregoing, the
director has the rights and privileges of a stockholder, including the right to
receive dividends and the right to vote the shares.
Non-employee directors are also eligible to participate in Warner-Lambert's
Group Life Insurance, Medical, Dental and Accidental Death and Dismemberment
Plans.

management with the intent that each individual invest a certain dollar amount
in shares of Warner-Lambert common stock equal to a multiple ranging from six to

position level. For purposes of this program, the amount of shares of
Warner-Lambert common stock held by the officer includes shares held directly

owner of 3,874,002 shares and Fidelity International LTD was the beneficial
owner of 888,542 shares.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires
Warner-Lambert's directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of
the outstanding shares of Warner-Lambert common stock to file with the SEC
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the shares
and other equity securities of Warner-Lambert. Based solely on its review of the
copies of such reports received by it, or written representations from reporting
persons, Warner-Lambert believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998, its officers, directors and 10% holders complied with all Section 16(a)
filing requirements.
SOLICITATION OF REVOCATIONS OF CONSENT
Revocations of consent may be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile
transmission or other electronic media and in person. Solicitation of
revocations of consent may be made by directors, officers and regular employees
of Warner-Lambert for which they will receive no additional compensation.
In addition, Warner-Lambert has retained Georgeson Shareholder
Communications Inc. to assist in the solicitation of the revocations of consent,
for which Georgeson will receive a fee of $750,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses. Warner-Lambert has also agreed to indemnify Georgeson for certain
liabilities in connection with this solicitation. Approximately 150 persons will
be employed by Georgeson to solicit stockholders.
Banks, brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to
forward solicitation material to beneficial owners of shares of Warner-Lambert
common stock. Warner-Lambert will reimburse banks, brokers, custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for sending solicitation material
to the beneficial owners.
The entire cost of soliciting the revocations of consent -- including,
without limitation, costs, if any, relating to advertising, printing, fees of
attorneys, financial advisors, proxy solicitors, accountants, public relations,
transportation, litigation and related expenses and filing fees -- will be borne
by Warner-Lambert. Warner-Lambert estimates that total expenditures relating to
the Warner-Lambert board of directors' solicitation of the revocations of
consent will be approximately $ . Such costs do not include the amount
normally expended for a solicitation for an uncontested election of directors or
costs represented by salaries and wages of regular employees and officers.
Approximately $ has been expended by Warner-Lambert to date.

ABSENCE OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under Delaware law, the stockholders of Warner-Lambert are not entitled to
appraisal rights in connection with the Pfizer proposals.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION
Under applicable regulations of the SEC, each member of the Warner-Lambert
board of directors, certain executive officers and other employees of
Warner-Lambert and certain other persons may be deemed to be a 'participant,' as
defined in Schedule 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, in Warner-Lambert's solicitation of revocations of consent. The
principal occupations and business addresses of each participant are set forth
on Annex B. Information about the present ownership of Warner-Lambert's
securities by directors and certain executive officers of Warner-Lambert is
provided in this Revocation of Consent Statement and the present ownership of
Warner-Lambert's securities by other participants is listed on Annex B.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
If a stockholder intends to present a proposal at Warner-Lambert's 2000
Annual Meeting of Stockholders and seeks to have the proposal included in the
company's proxy statement relating to that meeting, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the proposal must have been
received by Warner-Lambert no later than the close of business on November 9,
1999. If a stockholder wishes to present a matter at the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders that is outside of the processes of Rule 14a-8, Warner-Lambert's
by-laws state that notice must be given to the company by December 29, 1999.
After that date, the proposal will be considered untimely and the Warner-
Lambert proxies will have discretionary voting authority with respect to such
matter. Any proposals, as well as any related questions, should be directed to
the Secretary of Warner-Lambert.

(1) Stock options entitle the holder to purchase shares of Warner-Lambert common
stock at a price which is equal to the fair market value per share for such
stock on the date the stock option was granted. Payment of this price is
made in cash or, with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the board
of directors, in whole or in part, in common stock or other consideration.
Stock options become exercisable over a four-year period (beginning one year
after the date of grant) in four equal installments. No stock option may be
exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. In the
event of a change in control of Warner-Lambert (as defined in the stock
option plans), (i) the ability to exercise stock options is accelerated,
(ii) amounts payable upon exercise of stock appreciation rights will be
determined by reference, among other things, to the price pursuant to which
the change in control was effected, (iii) amounts payable upon the exercise
of stock appreciation rights will be in the form of cash and (iv) limited
stock appreciation rights or
(footnotes continued on next page)
A-2
<PAGE>
(footnotes continued from previous page)
alternative conversion rights (which conversion rights are applicable in the
case of a merger of equals (as defined in the plan)) are provided to the
grantees of stock options. A change in control under the stock option plans
is generally deemed to have occurred upon the acquisition of the voting
power of 20% or more of Warner-Lambert's outstanding securities, the
consummation of a merger, consolidation, sale or disposition of
substantially all of Warner-Lambert's assets or a change in more than half
of Warner-Lambert's board of directors. If Pfizer is successful in its
solicitation of consents to remove directors of Warner-Lambert or in its
efforts to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Warner-Lambert
common stock, a change in control for purposes of the stock option plans
will occur. See 'Termination of Employment and Change in Control
Arrangements and Other Matters' on pages A-5 to A-6 for additional
information.
(2) Present value determinations were made using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model based on the following assumptions: the holding period is based on a
five-year average of all option holders' exercises; the risk-free rate of
return is the interest rate on a zero coupon bond with a maturity equivalent
to the holding period; the volatility is based on weekly stock prices for
the holding period; and the dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on
Warner-Lambert's common stock for the five-year period 1994-1998. The actual
value an executive officer receives is dependent on future stock market
conditions, and there can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in the
last column of the Option/SAR Grants Table will actually be realized. No
gain to the executive officer is possible without an appreciation in the
stock value which will benefit all stockholders commensurately.
OPTION/SAR EXERCISES AND YEAR-END VALUE TABLE
The following table sets forth individual exercises of stock options and

</TABLE>
The Retirement Plan is a defined benefit, career average plan which is
periodically updated in order to provide pension benefits which are more
reflective of current creditable earnings. The most recent update was effective
January 1, 1998. The Retirement Plan provides that annual creditable earnings
are determined by an employee's January 1st base salary plus overtime and
Warner-Lambert Incentive Compensation Plan awards. The Retirement Plan provides
that, in the event of a change in control of Warner-Lambert (as defined in such
plan), (1) the benefits of participants will be afforded certain additional
protection for a limited period of time and (2) if certain actions are taken
with respect to the Retirement Plan, any surplus assets then held in the trust
will inure to the benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. Credited
years of service under the Retirement Plan, as of December 31, 1998, for each of
the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table are: Melvin R.
Goodes -- 32.4 years; Lodewijk J. R. de Vink -- 10.0 years; Anthony H.
Wild -- 3.0 years; Ronald M. Cresswell -- 10.0 years; and Ernest J.
Larini -- 22.0 years.
The Supplemental Pension Income Plan was established to attract and retain
employees in senior managerial positions by providing supplemental pension
income in amounts reasonably related to their compensation and length of service
with Warner-Lambert. Benefits under the Supplemental Pension Income Plan are
based upon average final compensation (the total amount of an employee's
compensation for the three calendar years during which such employee's
compensation was the highest of the five-year period of service ending with such
employee's early or normal retirement date, divided by three). Compensation for
this purpose is the sum of the employee's January 1st base salary plus
compensation under the Warner-Lambert Incentive Compensation Plan. The benefit
under the Supplemental Pension Income Plan is reduced by the benefit payable
under the Retirement Plan and certain other retirement benefits, including
social security. The Supplemental Pension Income Plan also provides for payment
to eligible employees of amounts they would have received under the Retirement
Plan in the absence of certain limitations imposed by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 and subsequent legislation, and provides for payment
to eligible employees of amounts they would have received under the Retirement
Plan if deferred incentive awards had been included in creditable earnings under
such plan. The Supplemental Pension Income Plan provides that, in the event of a
change in control of Warner-Lambert (as defined in such plan), (1) employees 55
years of age and older
A-4
<PAGE>
who meet certain salary level requirements and who would have become eligible to
receive plan benefits upon retirement will receive such benefits upon retirement
and (2) post-employment consulting requirements set forth in the plan will no
longer be applicable. Credited years of service under the Supplemental Pension
Income Plan, as of December 31, 1998, for each of the executive officers named
in the Summary Compensation Table are: Melvin R. Goodes -- 18.7 years; Lodewijk
J.R. de Vink -- 8.8 years; Anthony H. Wild -- 3.8 years; Ronald M.
Cresswell -- 10.6 years; and Ernest J. Larini -- 10.8 years.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS
Warner-Lambert has severance policies which provide for payments of up to
twenty-four months' salary depending upon several factors, including age and
length of service, subject to modifications made by the Warner-Lambert Executive
Severance Plan.
The Executive Severance Plan, initially adopted in 1988 and publicly filed
as an exhibit to Warner-Lambert's Annual Report on Form 10-K, provides benefits
in the event of a change in control of Warner-Lambert (as defined in such plan)
to those employees, essentially officers, who are subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. A change in control is deemed to generally have occurred upon the
acquisition of the voting power of 20% or more of Warner-Lambert's outstanding
securities, shareholder approval of a merger, consolidation, sale or disposition
of substantially all of Warner-Lambert's assets or a change in more than half of
Warner-Lambert's board of directors. If Pfizer is successful in its solicitation
of consents to remove the directors of Warner-Lambert or in its efforts to
acquire 20% or more of the outstanding common stock of Warner-Lambert, a change
of control for purposes of the Executive Severance Plan will occur. The
Executive Severance Plan provides for severance benefits, which are payable only
if a participant leaves the employ of Warner-Lambert for any reason other than
termination by Warner-Lambert for just cause (as defined in such plan) within
three years after a change in control, of thirty-six months' salary and bonus,
as well as thirty-six months credit under Warner-Lambert's retirement and
savings and stock plans. The Executive Severance Plan also requires
Warner-Lambert to provide plan participants six months' advance written notice
of termination during the three-year period following a change in control. The
Executive Severance Plan also provides special payments to participants to
reimburse them for any federal excise tax or similar state or local tax that may
be imposed on payments received following a change in control.
Warner-Lambert also adopted in 1988 (and has described in its publicly
filed annual proxy statements) an Enhanced Severance Plan for all United States
non-hourly employees who are not eligible to participate in the Executive
Severance Plan. The Enhanced Severance Plan provides for severance benefits,
which are payable only if a plan participant leaves the employ of
Warner-Lambert, either due to actual termination or constructive termination (as
defined in the plan), other than termination by Warner-Lambert for just cause
(as defined in the plan), within two years (or, for certain participants, three
years) following a change in control. In addition, if a change in control occurs
otherwise than through a transaction approved by Warner-Lambert's board (as
constituted prior to such transaction), the Enhanced Severance Plan provides for
severance benefits to be payable if a participant leaves the employ of
Warner-Lambert for any reason other than termination by Warner-Lambert for just
cause within the applicable period following such change in control. Severance
benefits under the Enhanced Severance Plan are generally similar to those under
the Executive Severance Plan, except that the severance period under the
Enhanced Severance Plan is determined on an individual basis based on
Warner-Lambert's severance policies. A change in control under the Enhanced
Severance Plan is generally deemed to have occurred upon the acquisition of the
voting power of 20% or more of Warner-Lambert's outstanding securities,
shareholder approval of a merger, consolidation, sale or disposition of
substantially all of Warner-Lambert's assets or a change in more than half of
Warner-Lambert's board of directors. The Enhanced Severance Plan provides for
limited rights to participants in connection with outstanding Warner-Lambert
stock options under the Warner-Lambert Company 1989 Stock Option Plan which did
not have stock appreciation rights. The limited rights granted under the
Enhanced Severance Plan provide for a cash payment upon exercise by the holder
within the 30-day period following a change in control, equal to the amount by
which the fair market value of a share of
A-5
<PAGE>
Warner-Lambert common stock exceeds the fair market value on the date the stock
option was granted, multiplied by the number of shares with respect to which the
limited rights apply. The fair market value is determined by the higher of the
sale price on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the change in control or the
highest price used in the transaction. In certain instances, including a merger
of equals (as defined in the Warner-Lambert Company 1989 Stock Option Plan),
conversion rights are provided as an alternative to limited rights (and a
similar provision providing for limited rights or alternative conversion rights
in the event of a change in control is also contained in Warner-Lambert's other
stock option plans pursuant to which stock options are currently outstanding).
The Enhanced Severance Plan also requires Warner-Lambert to provide plan
participants six months' advance written notice of termination during the
two-year period (or, for certain participants, three-year period) following a
change in control. If Pfizer is successful in its solicitation of consents to
remove the directors of Warner-Lambert or in its efforts to acquire 20% or more
of Warner-Lambert's outstanding common stock, a change of control for purposes
of the Enhanced Severance Plan will occur. The Enhanced Severance Plan also
provides special payments to some participants to reimburse them for any federal
excise tax or similar state or local tax that may be imposed on payments
received following a change in control.
In addition, in the event of a change in control of Warner-Lambert (as
defined in the Executive Severance Plan), participants in the Warner-Lambert
Savings and Stock Plan and the Warner-Lambert Incentive Compensation Plan are
afforded certain additional protections, and the benefits of participation in
Warner-Lambert's Excess Savings Plan become immediately vested and payable upon
termination of employment.
Restricted stock awards granted under Warner-Lambert's plans also vest
completely in the event of a change in control and generally will result in a
cash payment to the holders of such awards.
Based upon advice we have received from our independent accountants, it is
our understanding that the existence and exercisability of rights to receive
cash payments in lieu of options and stock awards (such as would result upon a
change in control) would prevent Warner-Lambert from being a party to a business
combination transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Therefore, under our merger agreement with American Home Products, the board of
directors is required to and expects to eliminate these cash payout provisions
and provide for the delivery of common stock or substitute equity awards of the
combined entity in connection with that merger of equals transaction.
If Pfizer is successful in its solicitation of consents to remove the
directors of Warner-Lambert or in its efforts to acquire 20% or more of the
outstanding common stock of Warner-Lambert, a change of control for purposes of
these provisions will occur. The Warner-Lambert board intends to continue to
review potential actions by it with respect to these provisions, as well as with
respect to the Enhanced Severance Plan, in connection with the Pfizer consent
solicitation, conditional proposal and ongoing developments relating thereto and
will exercise its rights under these provisions in a manner consistent with its
fiduciary duties to Warner-Lambert stockholders.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Warner-Lambert's executive compensation programs are designed to attract,
retain and motivate the broad based executive talent required to achieve its
business objectives and increase shareholder value. Warner-Lambert's executive
compensation programs are administered by the Compensation Committee of the
board of directors. The Compensation Committee members are outside directors of
Warner-Lambert with responsibility for all compensation matters for
Warner-Lambert's executive officers. The outside compensation consultants who
advise the committee and management on compensation matters have been selected
by the Compensation Committee.
General
Total compensation for Warner-Lambert's executive officers consists of a
base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentives, which include stock
options and restricted stock. The annual bonus and long-term incentives
introduce risk to the total executive compensation package. These compensation
A-6
<PAGE>
components are variable, may fluctuate significantly from year to year and are
directly tied to company and individual performance.
To ensure that management's interest Warner-Lambert is aligned with the
interests of Warner-Lambert's stockholders, a significant portion of executive
compensation is delivered through the equity component. Stock options are tied
to the long-term performance of Warner-Lambert and are used to provide an
incentive that focuses attention on managing the company from an owner's
perspective. Restricted stock grants are used selectively to build stock
ownership and to promote a long-term focus by restricting the holder's ability
to sell, transfer or assign the shares until the end of the specified vesting
period when the restrictions lapse. The combination of stock options and
restricted stock grants provides a level of risk and upside opportunity that
encourages management performance in the achievement of Warner-Lambert's
long-term goals and objectives. To further align management's interests with
Warner-Lambert's stockholders, the Compensation Committee has established formal
stock ownership goals for key members of management with the intent that each
individual invest a certain dollar amount in shares of Warner-Lambert common
stock.
The Compensation Committee annually reviews the competitiveness of
Warner-Lambert's executive compensation programs within the industries in which
it competes -- Pharmaceutical, Consumer Health Care and Confectionery. In
addition, this compensation comparator group also includes several leading
consumer products companies which, in conjunction with the industry peer group,
represent the broader marketplace for the company's executive talent. The
Compensation Committee's outside compensation consultants agree that the
companies in the group are appropriate benchmarks for Warner-Lambert.
Warner-Lambert targets a level of total compensation (base salary, annual
bonus and stock awards) above the median total compensation of its comparator
group for like jobs, adjusted for company size. Since stock awards represent a
significant portion of the executives' total compensation, the overall
compensation package provides both downside risk and upside opportunity that
encourages the executives' performance in the achievement of Warner-Lambert's
long-term goals and objectives.
The Compensation Committee continues to review executive compensation in
light of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ('Section 162(m)'), which
establishes a limit on the deductibility of annual compensation for certain
executive officers that exceeds $1,000,000. It is the general intention of the
committee to meet the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m);
however, the committee reserves the right, where merited by changing business
conditions or an executive's individual performance, to authorize compensation
payments which may not be fully deductible by Warner-Lambert. The Compensation
Committee will re-examine this policy on an on-going basis.
Executive Officers' Compensation
In determining increases to executive officer compensation, the
Compensation Committee considered company performance, including both financial
and nonfinancial indicators, individual performance, the business environment in
which Warner-Lambert operated and competitive compensation trends.
Base salary increases were determined based upon individual performance,
competitive compensation trends and a review of salaries for like jobs at the
companies comprising Warner-Lambert's compensation comparator group.
With respect to annual cash bonuses, the maximum annual amount which may be
set aside for payment is first derived from a formula approved by stockholders.
This formula takes into account Warner-Lambert's net profit for the year and the
amount of capital employed in the company. The annual cash bonus that is
actually paid to an individual executive officer is then determined by reviewing
the performance of the business unit which the executive officer manages,
including sales, profit and return on assets managed, and the officer's
individual performance and position level within the company. As a result of
such review of business and individual performance for the year 1998, total
annual bonus awards to Warner-Lambert's executive officers as a group increased
by approximately 19.5% over the prior year. A majority of each individual award
was based on company and business unit performance, with the remainder based on
individual performance.
A-7
<PAGE>
The Compensation Committee has established annual stock option award
guidelines for each position level within Warner-Lambert. These guidelines
provide for a range of options to be granted from zero shares up to a maximum
number of shares. Competitive data from the compensation comparator group and
the estimated value of Warner-Lambert's stock options were used to develop these
guidelines, which are reviewed annually by the committee. The actual stock
option award granted to a Warner-Lambert executive is based upon the
individual's overall job performance and specific contributions to company
performance for the prior year. While factors such as company performance are
considered in determining the number of stock options to be granted, the
individual's current performance and contributions to Warner-Lambert performance
are the primary determinants in these deliberations.
CEO Compensation for 1998
The following is a description of the decisions with regard to Mr. Goodes'
1998 compensation. Mr. Goodes retired from his position at Warner-Lambert
effective April 30, 1999.
Effective March, 1998, Mr. Goodes received a base salary increase of
approximately 8% based on review of his prior year job performance and his
compensation relative to his peers at companies comparable to Warner-Lambert.
Mr. Goodes' employment agreement provides for a minimum annual salary that may
be increased annually at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, based
upon the average salary increase of other Warner-Lambert officers. The salary
for Mr. Goodes reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page A-1 reflects
the salary actually paid to Mr. Goodes in 1998. Effective March 1999, the
Compensation Committee increased Mr. Goodes' salary by 8%. Mr. Goodes' salary
increase does not affect the other elements of his compensation. In addition, in
1999, Mr. Goodes received an annual cash bonus of $2,028,800.
In January, 1998, Mr. Goodes received an annual stock option grant of
440,700 shares, with the exercise price being equal to the fair market value on
the date of grant. The options are exercisable for a ten-year term. In 1999,
Mr. Goodes received a stock option grant of 392,550 shares. These ten-year
options were also issued at the fair market value on the date of grant.
In considering Mr. Goodes' stock option grant, annual bonus and base salary
increase, each effective in 1999, the Compensation Committee considered several
company financial performance measures for 1998, as well as Mr. Goodes'
individual performance during the year. In determining Mr. Goodes' compensation,
the committee did not attach specific weights or values to the various factors
considered.
The Compensation Committee considered Warner-Lambert's sales, profits,
earnings per share and return on assets managed, which measures exceeded
expectations. The committee noted Warner-Lambert's regular quarterly dividend
rate increased 26% in 1998 over the prior year's rate. The Compensation
Committee also noted that at year-end 1998, Warner-Lambert's common stock price
increased 81.7% over year-end 1997 and substantially exceeded the growth of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the
average stock price growth of Warner-Lambert's industry peer group during the
same period. According to the Staton 100 Performance Index, Warner-Lambert
ranked Number 3 among the top performing stocks over the five years ended
November 1998. In addition, Warner-Lambert's market capitalization at year-end
1998 was $61.8 billion. This is $28 billion and 82% higher than prior year.
Since August 1991, when Mr. Goodes became CEO, until year-end 1998,
Warner-Lambert's market capitalization increased over 500%. As a result of
Warner-Lambert's growth, the company continued to improve its position among the
top 100 of the world's most highly valued companies, based on market
capitalization. In a listing of the world's top one hundred companies published
during 1998, Warner-Lambert's relative rank moved up from 98th to 64th.
The Compensation Committee also reviewed Mr. Goodes' key accomplishments in
1998. Specifically, the committee credited Mr. Goodes with:
the overwhelming success of Warner-Lambert's cholesterol-lowering drug
Lipitor'r' which achieved over $1 billion dollars in worldwide sales in
eleven months, the first pharmaceutical product to achieve that level of
sales in its initial year on the market. Lipitor'r' was launched in 26 new
markets during 1998;
A-8
<PAGE>
the continued success of Warner-Lambert's type 2 diabetes drug Rezulin'r',
which surpassed $1 billion dollars in worldwide sales 20 months after
launch;
the product launch of Omnicef'r', a broad spectrum cephalosporin
antibiotic, and CelexaTM, a drug for the treatment of depression which
Warner-Lambert co-promotes in the U.S. with Forest Laboratories, the
developer of the product in the U.S. under license from another company;
the introduction of the new Schick'r' Protector'r' shaving system in the
U.S. and other major markets;
the introduction of a new line of standardized herbal supplements under
the tradename QuanterraTM;
continued focus on productivity and cost-effectiveness through plant
rationalizations on a global basis;
the naming of Warner-Lambert by Industry Week as one of the '100
Best-Managed Companies'; and
Fortune magazine's poll of the World's Most Admired Companies ranked
Warner-Lambert in 5th place among fifteen global pharmaceutical companies.
In 1997, Warner-Lambert was not ranked in this particular poll.
The Compensation Committee noted Mr. Goodes' leadership role in
Warner-Lambert's financial achievements during the year and the impact of his
commitment to the company's core businesses and his strategic vision in making
1998 another successful year.

INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER PARTIES THAT MAY BE DEEMED TO BE PARTICIPANTS
Warner-Lambert has retained Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Goldman Sachs &
Company to act as its financial advisors in connection with the proposed merger
with American Home Products and in connection with Pfizer's proposals, for which
each of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs will receive customary fees, as well as
reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
Certain employees of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs may also assist in the
solicitation of proxies, including by communicating in person, by telephone or
otherwise with a limited number of institutions, brokers or other persons who
are stockholders of Warner-Lambert. Neither Bear Stearns nor Goldman Sachs will
receive separate fees for their solicitation activities. Bear Stearns and
Goldman Sachs are investment banking firms that provide a full range of
financial services for institutional and individual clients. Although neither
Bear Stearns nor Goldman Sachs admits that it or any of its respective
directors, officers, employees or affiliates are a 'participant,' as defined in
Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or that Schedule 14A requires
the disclosure of certain information concerning Bear Stearns or Goldman Sachs,
Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs may assist Warner-Lambert in such solicitation.
In the normal course of business, each of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs
may trade securities of Warner-Lambert for their own account and the accounts of
their respective customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or
short position in such securities. As of November 15, 1999, Bear Stearns held a
net short position of 18,000 shares of Warner-Lambert common stock, and customer
accounts managed by Bear Stearns Asset Management, an affiliate of Bear, Stearns
& Co. Inc., held a net long position of 1,800 shares. As of November 15, 1999,
Goldman Sachs held a net short position of 156,299 shares of Warner-Lambert
common stock; in addition, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Company, Goldman
Sachs Asset Management, serves as an investment advisor to various mutual funds
which in the aggregate held a net long position of 4,104,203 shares. In the
normal course of business, each of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs may finance
their respective securities positions by bank and other borrowings and
repurchase and securities borrowing transactions.
Information with respect to the employees of Bear Stearns who may be deemed
'participants' is set forth below. None of the individuals named below owns any
shares of Warner-Lambert common stock or has engaged in any transaction
involving such shares during the past two years. The principal business address
of Bear Stearns and each of the persons listed below is Bear, Stearns & Co.
Inc., 245 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10167.

Pursuant to the engagement of each of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs,
Warner-Lambert has also agreed to reimburse each of Bear Stearns and Goldman
Sachs for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of legal counsel, and to indemnify Bear Stearns and
Goldman Sachs and certain respective related parties from and against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising
out of their respective engagements.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS
Except as described in this Annex B or in the Revocation of Consent
Statement or in Annex A thereto, none of the persons who may be deemed
'participants' as defined in Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act nor
any of their respective affiliates or associates (together, the 'Participant
Affiliates'), (1) directly or indirectly beneficially owns any shares of
Warner-Lambert common stock or any securities of any subsidiary of
Warner-Lambert or (2) has had any relationship with Warner-Lambert in any
capacity other than as a stockholder, employee, officer or director.
Furthermore, except as described in this Annex B or in the Revocation of Consent
Statement or in Annex A thereto, no Participant Affiliate is either a party to
any transaction or series of transactions since January 1, 1998, or has
knowledge of any currently proposed transaction or series of transactions,
(1) to which Warner-Lambert or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party,
(2) in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and (3) in which any
Participant Affiliate had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.
Except for the employment agreements described in the Revocation of Consent
Statement or as otherwise described therein or in Annex A thereto or in this
Annex B, no Participant Affiliate has entered into any agreement or
understanding with any person respecting any future employment by Warner-Lambert
or its affiliates or any future transactions to which Warner-Lambert or any of
its affiliates will or may be a party. Except as described in this Annex B or in
the Revocation of Consent Statement or in Annex A thereto, there are no
contracts, arrangements or understandings by any Participant Affiliate within
the past year with any person with respect to Warner-Lambert's securities.
In the event that Pfizer is successful in its efforts to replace the
Warner-Lambert board or in its efforts to acquire 20% or more of
Warner-Lambert's common stock, a change in control may be deemed to have
occurred under the terms of Warner-Lambert's severance plans, and certain
participants in the solicitation may become eligible for severance benefits in
the event they leave the employ of Warner-Lambert following such change in
control. See the section of this Revocation of Consent Statement entitled
'Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements and Other Matters'
for a further description of these severance plans.
