However, if each member of the Corporate Governance Committee received a MajorityWithheld Vote at the same election, then the independent Directors who did not receive aMajority Withheld Vote shall appoint a committee amongst themselves to consider theresignation offers and recommend to the Board whether to accept them.

However, if the only Directors who did not receive a Majority Withheld Vote in the sameelection constitute three or fewer Directors, all Directors may participate in the actionregarding whether to accept the resignation offers.

8. Director Service on Other Public Boards. Ordinarily, Directors should not serve on morethan four other boards of public companies in addition to the Company’s Board. Currentpositions in excess of these limits may be maintained unless the Board of Directors determinesthat doing so would impair the Director’s service on the Company’s Board.

The Board has adopted a statement of policy that it shall seek and obtain shareholderapproval before adopting a Poison Pill; provided, however, that the Board may determine toact on its own to adopt a Poison Pill, if, under the circumstances, the Board, including themajority of the independent members of the Board, in its exercise of its fiduciaryresponsibilities, deems it to be in the best interest of Pfizer’s shareholders to adopt a Poison Pill without the delay in adoption that would come from the time reasonably anticipated toseek shareholder approval.

If the Board were ever to adopt a Poison Pill without prior shareholder approval, theBoard would either submit the Poison Pill to shareholders for ratification, or would cause thePoison Pill to expire within one year.

The Corporate Governance Committee will review this Poison Pill policy statement on anannual basis, including the stipulation which addresses the Board’s fiduciary responsibility toact in the best interest of the shareholders without prior shareholder approval, and report tothe Board any recommendations it may have concerning the policy.

Director Qualification Standards

Pursuant to New York Stock Exchangelisting standards, our Board of Directors hasadopted a formal set of categorical DirectorQualification Standards with respect to thedetermination of Director independence. Inaccordance with these Standards, a Directormust be determined to have no materialrelationship with the Company other than as aDirector. The Standards specify the criteria bywhich the independence of our Directors willbe determined, including strict guidelines forDirectors and their immediate families withrespect to past employment or affiliation withthe Company or its independent registeredpublic accounting firm. The Standards alsoprohibit Audit Committee members fromhaving any direct or indirect financialrelationship with the Company, and restrictboth commercial and not-for-profitrelationships of all Directors with the Company.Directors may not be given personal loans orextensions of credit by the Company, and allDirectors are required to deal at arm’s lengthwith the Company and its subsidiaries, and todisclose any circumstance that might beperceived as a conflict of interest.

Director Independence

The provisions of the Board’s DirectorQualification Standards regarding Directorindependence meet and in some areas exceedthe listing standards of the New York StockExchange. The Board’s Director QualificationStandards are attached to this proxy statementas Annex 1.

In accordance with these Standards, theBoard undertook its annual review of Directorindependence. During this review, the Boardconsidered transactions and relationshipsbetween each Director or any member of his orher immediate family and the Company and itssubsidiaries and affiliates. The Board alsoconsidered whether there were any

transactions or relationships between Directorsor any member of their immediate family (orany entity of which a Director or an immediatefamily member is an executive officer, generalpartner or significant equity holder). Asprovided in the Director QualificationStandards, the purpose of this review was todetermine whether any such relationships ortransactions existed that were inconsistent witha determination that the Director isindependent.

As a result of this review, the Boardaffirmatively determined that the followingDirectors nominated for election at the annualmeeting are independent of the Company andits management under the standards set forthin the Director Qualification Standards: Drs.Michael S. Brown, Stanley O. Ikenberry, DanaG. Mead, Ruth Simmons; Ms. Constance J.Horner, Messrs. M. Anthony Burns, Robert N.Burt, W. Don Cornwell, William H. Gray III,William R. Howell and George A. Lorch; andthat Dr. Henry A. McKinnell and Mr. WilliamC. Steere, Jr. are not independent under theseStandards. Dr. McKinnell is considered aninside Director because of his employment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of theCompany. Mr. Steere is not considered anindependent outside Director as a result of hisformer status as Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of the Company.

In making these determinations, the Boardconsidered that in the ordinary course ofbusiness, transactions may occur between theCompany and its subsidiaries and companies atwhich some of our Directors are or have beenofficers. In each case, the amount oftransactions from these companies in each ofthe last three years did not approach thethresholds set forth in the DirectorQualification Standards. The Board alsoconsidered charitable contributions to not-for-profit organizations of which our Directors orimmediate family members are executiveofficers, none of which approached the levelsset forth in our Director QualificationStandards.

The full text of our Director QualificationStandards is attached as Annex 1 to this ProxyStatement. These Standards also are publishedon our Website at www.pfizer.com, under the

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership ReportingCompliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities ExchangeAct of 1934 requires our Directors and certainof our officers to file reports of holdings andtransactions in Pfizer shares with the SEC andthe New York Stock Exchange. Based on ourrecords and other information, we believe thatin 2005 our Directors and our officers who aresubject to Section 16 met all applicable filingrequirements, except as described below:

• Upon becoming subject to Section 16 inMarch 2005, Alan G. Levin, our SeniorVice President and Chief FinancialOfficer, filed a Form 3 with the Securitiesand Exchange Commission on a timelybasis that inadvertently failed to include12,240 shares held in a brokerageaccount. Promptly after discovering theomission, Mr. Levin filed an amendmentto the Form 3 reporting the ownershipof those shares.

• Upon becoming subject to Section 16 inMarch 2005, Joseph M. Feczko, our VicePresident and Chief Medical Officer, fileda Form 3 with the Securities andExchange Commission on a timely basis.Due to an inadvertent administrativeerror by the Company, the Form 3 failedto include 43,920 shares that had beenearned by Dr. Feczko under theCompany’s Performance-ContingentShare Award Plan shortly before theForm 3 was filed. Promptly after beinginformed of the omission, Dr. Feczkofiled an amendment to the Form 3reporting the ownership of those shares.

The Board of Directors has consideredcarefully the advantages and disadvantages ofthe supermajority vote requirements and the“fair price” provision (explained below) in ourRestated Certificate of Incorporation. After thisreview, the Board of Directors determined thatit is appropriate to propose an amendment tothe Restated Certificate of Incorporation thatwould eliminate these provisions. Thisdetermination by the Board furthers its goal ofincreasing its accountability to Shareholders.

Some supermajority vote provisions, suchas the “fair price” provision in the RestatedCertificate of Incorporation, are intended toencourage a person making an unsolicited bidfor a company to negotiate with the Board ofDirectors to reach terms that are fair and in thebest interests of Shareholders. Other provisions,such as those in our Restated Certificate ofIncorporation that require a supermajority voteto amend certain provisions of the RestatedCertificate of Incorporation, can be viewed asfacilitating corporate governance stability byrequiring broad stockholder consensus to effectchanges. However, many investors and othersview these provisions as inconsistent withprinciples of good corporate governance.Although these measures can be beneficial, theBoard recognizes that the requirement of asupermajority vote can limit the ability of amajority of the Shareholders at any particulartime to effect change by essentially providing aveto to a large minority shareholder or groupof shareholders. In addition, a lower thresholdfor shareholder votes can increaseshareholders’ ability to participate effectively incorporate governance.

To effect these changes, our Board ofDirectors is recommending that theShareholders approve certain amendments toArticle Seventh, and the deletion of ArticleEighth, of Pfizer’s Restated Certificate ofIncorporation. These provisions and theproposed amendments are described below.

Supermajority Vote Requirements

Article SEVENTH of our RestatedCertificate of Incorporation requires theaffirmative vote of at least 80% of ouroutstanding voting stock to amend, alter orrepeal certain provisions of our Restated

Certificate of Incorporation. The proposedamendments would remove the 80%supermajority vote requirement currently inplace to approve, alter, amend or repeal theprovisions of the Restated Certificate ofIncorporation relating to:

• The authorized number of directors ofthe Corporation;

• The authority of a majority of the Boardof Directors to fill newly createddirectorships resulting from increases inthe authorized number of directors orvacancies in the Board of Directors;

• The number of directors necessary toconstitute a quorum;

• The power of the Board of Directors toadopt, amend or repeal the By-laws ofthe Corporation;

• The role of the Board of Directors todirect management of the Company;

• The ability of shareholders to amend orrepeal any of the foregoing provisions;and

• The limitation of directors’ liability underDelaware law.

If such amendment is approved by theShareholders, the principal effect will be thatthose provisions may be amended, altered orrepealed upon approval of the Board ofDirectors and the vote of the holders of amajority of Pfizer’s outstanding stock entitledto vote on such amendment.

Fair Price Provision

Article EIGHTH of our Restated Certificateof Incorporation, which is sometimes referredto as a “fair price” provision, requires theaffirmative vote of the holders of at least 80%of the outstanding voting stock to approvecertain transactions involving any person orgroup that beneficially owns at least 10% ofour outstanding voting stock (a “RelatedPerson”). Under the proposed amendments,this Article would be deleted in its entirety. Thecurrent supermajority requirements of ArticleEIGHTH apply to the following transactionsbetween a Related Person and Pfizer:

ITEM 3—Management Proposal to Amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate the Supermajority

Vote Requirements and Fair Price Provision

• A merger or consolidation;

• A sale, lease, exchange or otherdisposition of all or any substantial partof Pfizer’s assets or any of its majorityowned subsidiaries;

• Certain issuances to a Related Person ofour stock or securities convertible into orexchangeable for our stock or stock ofone of our majority-owned subsidiaries;or

• A voluntary dissolution or liquidation.

This voting requirement does not apply to(a) transactions approved by the Board ofDirectors and the majority of the ContinuingDirectors (directors who were directors prior tothe time the Related Person became a RelatedPerson, and directors recommended forelection by such directors) and (b) in the case ofany action or transaction pursuant to whichshareholders will receive cash, property,securities or other consideration, the cash ormarket value of the property, securities orother consideration to be received by theshareholders is deemed to be “fair” (the cashor market value must be not less than thehigher of (x) the highest price per share paid bythe Related Person in acquiring any of itsholdings of Pfizer stock, or (y) the highestclosing sale price on any day either since theRelated Person acquired its first share of capitalstock of Pfizer which it continues to own orcontrol or during the five years preceding thedate of consideration of the action ortransaction by the Pfizer’s Board of Directors,whichever period is shorter). ARTICLE EIGHTHalso includes: restrictions on certain otheractions by Related Persons; certain technicalprovisions; and a requirement that ArticleEIGHTH can only be amended, altered orrepealed with the affirmative vote of theholders of at least 80% of all of the thenoutstanding shares of voting stock, votingtogether as a single class.

The repeal of Article EIGHTH will have twoprincipal effects on stockholder voting: First,those transactions covered by Article EIGHTHthat would otherwise require a stockholdervote under the Delaware General CorporationLaw would require the vote of the holders of amajority of our outstanding stock, rather thanan 80% supermajority vote. Second, since thesupermajority vote requirement will no longerapply, the Board of Directors will be able toeffect, without obtaining stockholder approval,those transactions covered by Article EIGHTH

that do not otherwise require stockholderapproval under Delaware law.

Pfizer will continue to be subject to Section203 of the Delaware General Corporation Lawwithout regard to whether the proposedamendments are approved. Section 203provides, in general, that a transactionconstituting a “business combination” withinthe meaning of Section 203 involving a personowning 15% or more of our voting stock(referred to as an “interested stockholder”),cannot be completed for a period of threeyears after the date the person became aninterested stockholder unless (1) the Board ofDirectors approved either the businesscombination or the transaction that resulted inthe person becoming an interested stockholderprior to such business combination ortransaction, (2) upon consummation of thetransaction that resulted in the personbecoming an interested stockholder, thatperson owned at least 85% of our outstandingvoting stock (excluding shares owned bypersons who are directors and also officers ofPfizer and shares owned by certain Pfizeremployee benefit plans), or (3) the businesscombination was approved by the Board ofDirectors and by the affirmative vote of at least662⁄3% of our outstanding voting stock notowned by the interested stockholder.

The Board of Directors has adoptedresolutions approving and declaring theadvisability of amendments to our RestatedCertificate of Incorporation to eliminate thesesupermajority vote requirements and the “fairprice” provision. The proposed amendments tothe Restated Certificate of Incorporation areset forth in Annex 7, with deletions indicatedby strikeout and additions indicated byunderline.

The affirmative vote of at least 80% of alloutstanding shares of Common Stock isrequired for approval of this proposal. Anabstention on this proposal is not anaffirmative vote and therefore will have thesame effect as a vote against this proposal.Therefore, it is important that you vote yourshares either in person at the Meeting or by proxy.

The Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote FOR the proposal toamend the Restated Certificate ofIncorporation to eliminate all supermajorityvote requirements and the “fair price”provision.

Resolved: “That the stockholders of Pfizerrecommend that the Board take the necessarysteps so that future outside directors shall notserve for more than six years.”

Reasons: “The President of the U.S.A. has aterm limit, so do Governors of many states.”

“Newer directors may bring in fresh outlooksand different approaches with benefits to allshareholders.”

“No director should be able to feel that his orher directorship is until retirement.”

“Last year the owners of 369,835,214 shares,representing approximately 7.9% of sharesvoting, voted for this proposal.”

“If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR thisresolution.”

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

We believe that arbitrary six-year terms formembers of Pfizer’s Board of Directors is not inthe best interests of the Company and itsshareholders. The process that brings a newmedicine from initial discovery to approval forpatients is among the most complex, lengthyand investment-intensive research processes inindustry. Setting an arbitrary limit on the termsof Directors could result in the prematuredeparture of Directors who have acquiredextensive knowledge of our industry andCompany. Rather than deprive the Companyand the Board of the service of highly valuedDirectors by imposing fixed-term limits, ourBoard follows practices designed to ensure thatdirectors are well qualified and well evaluatedin their performance. In addition, everymember of the Board of Directors stands forelection by the shareholders every year. Beloware our practices for Director Qualification andelection, as stated in our Restated Certificate of

Incorporation and in our CorporateGovernance Principles.

Annual Election of Directors

All Directors are elected on an annualbasis, following a formal nomination by theCorporate Governance Committee of theBoard. This Committee, which is comprisedsolely of independent directors, annuallyconsiders the merits of all candidates and theirindividual contributions to the Board prior tomaking these nominations.

Majority Voting

In June 2005, the Board adopted aninnovative amendment to the Company’sCorporate Governance Principles that requiresany Director receiving a greater number of “Withheld” votes than “For” votes to tenderhis or her resignation to the CorporateGovernance Committee. A full description ofthe policy on Voting for Directors is found inthis Proxy Statement under the caption“Election of Directors” and in our CorporateGovernance Principles under “Voting forDirectors.”

Annual Board Self Evaluation

The Board prepares an annual self-evaluation, and this process is also an importantfactor in determining continuing service.

Change in Director Occupation

When a Director’s principal occupation orbusiness association changes substantiallyduring his or her tenure as a Director, thatDirector must tender his or her resignation forconsideration by the Corporate GovernanceCommittee, which recommends to the fullBoard the action, if any, to be taken withrespect to the resignation.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

We expect the following proposals (Items 4 through 10 on the proxy card) to be presented byshareholders at the Annual Meeting. Some of the proposals contain assertions about Pfizer that webelieve are incorrect. We have not attempted to refute all these inaccuracies. However, the Board ofDirectors has recommended a vote against these proposals for broader policy reasons as set forthfollowing each proposal. Names, addresses and share holdings of the various shareholderproponents and, where applicable, of co-filers, will be supplied upon request.

ITEM 4—Shareholder Proposal Relating to Term Limits for Directors

37

Mandatory Retirement Age

Directors are required to retire from theBoard when they reach the age of 72.

Director Qualification Standards

As outlined in this Proxy Statement, ourBoard of Directors has adopted a formal set ofcategorical Director Qualification Standardswith respect to the determination of directorindependence, which either meet or exceed thestandards set by the New York Stock Exchange.

These standards must be met by all Directorsnot only at the time of initial election to theBoard, but in each year of a Director’s service.

We believe that the principles and practicescurrently in place provide the means to ensurethe continuity of independent oversight by thePfizer Board, and that requiring term limitscould weaken the Board and undermine oursystem of corporate governance.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

Shareholders request the Board ofDirectors report by September 2006 onmeasures Pfizer is taking to contain the priceincreases of its most-prescribed drugs to levelsequal to or below the annual rate of inflation.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT:

Enacting this proposal will align ourcompany with its previously stated practice onprescription drug price increases.

Access to pharmaceutical products isessential for adequate health care for allAmericans; we believe that restraining priceincreases is an effective way to expand accessto pharmaceutical products.

In 2002, Pfizer stated: “Over the pastdecade, after accounting for discounts tofederal government buyers and Medicaid,Pfizer’s annual price increase in the UnitedStates has averaged less than the annual rateof inflation as measured by the Consumer PriceIndex.” (“Improving Access to InnovativeMedicines”, Pfizer Forum, 2002).

2004 saw the largest average annual priceincreases in four years, with Pfizer’s increasesranging from 2.9% (Lipitor 20 mg and 40 mg)to Norvasc (7.1%). (AARP Public Policy Institute,April 2005).

In 2003, more than 14 million Americanadults with chronic conditions could not affordall of their prescriptions. As medical needs forprescription drugs increase, the proportion ofworking-age Americans, especially those withchronic conditions, going without prescriptiondrugs because of cost concerns will likely grow.(Center for Studying Health System ChangeIssue Briefing 95, May 2005);

In a survey, one-fifth of all women saidthey hadn’t bought at least one prescribeddrug because they felt they couldn’t afford it.(Kaiser Family Foundation July 2005)

Spending in the U.S. for prescription drugsrose by 400% since 1990, with price increasesfor existing drugs accounting for 25% of theincrease. (Kaiser Family Foundation,Prescription Drug Trends, October 2004).

We believe our proposal can beimplemented with minimal disruption ofresearch and development. As The Economistnoted: “There is a fallacy that the price of adrug is somehow related to the cost of R&D.

One will often hear arguments made byindustry to justify high prices. The reality is thatthe price of a drug on the market hasabsolutely no relation to how much it cost toproduce it. Drugs are priced in a way...that isessentially what the market will bear.”(“Prescription for Change, “ The Economist,June 16, 2005)

Rapidly rising drug costs reduce the impactof drug discount programs and prescriptiondrug benefits. The LA Times reported thatindustry discount programs are “not easy towork with” and some health care providers“have had to hire full-time staff members whodo nothing but help patients with theirapplications.” (“Free drugs for poor may behard to get”, Los Angeles Times, May 15, 2005).

Our company offers a discount drugprogram for the uninsured, Pfizer Pfriends.While such programs are welcome, moderatingprice increases could be a more efficient andeffective way to increase access to medicines,with minimal impacts of profits and research.

If you agree, please vote in favor of thisproposal.

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

Pfizer is deeply concerned aboutAmericans who do not have adequate access tohealthcare, including their medicines. We havedemonstrated a commitment to meaningfuland sustainable programs that provide greateraccess to our medicines. In 2005, we providedmore than $1 billion in free and low costmedicines to patients in the United States.

We are committed to maintaining oureffort to assure that our medicines areavailable to those who need them. Thiscommitment extends to new cancer medicines,such as Sutent, as well as HIV medicines eithermarketed or in development.

In our view, part of Pfizer’s commitment toaccess in the United States has been a history ofmoderate pricing. Over the past decade, wehave typically introduced our new medicines atprices lower than those of competing productsand have typically raised prices less than havethe makers of other products.

Over 30 years of providing access to Pfizermedicines

Pfizer has over a 30-year history inproviding access to medicines for those without

prescription coverage. These programs provideaccess to many Pfizer medicines, including newmedicines and those most widely prescribed.Through a single toll free number (866 7062400) live operators guide patients to programsbest suited to their needs, including bothPfizer-sponsored and public assistanceprograms, based on their income and medicalneeds. Anyone interested in knowing moreabout these programs and how they arehelping people today can visitwww.PfizerHelpfulAnswers.com.

Pfizer Helpful Answers

In July 2004, we launched Pfizer HelpfulAnswers to help expand access to Pfizerprescription medicines. Pfizer Helpful Answersis a family of programs to help people withoutprescription coverage save on many Pfizermedicines; regardless of age or income. Somepeople may qualify to get their Pfizermedicines for free depending on their income.

Together Rx Access

Additionally, Pfizer participates in TogetherRx Access (www.togetherrxaccess.com), aprogram where 10 pharmaceutical companiesoffer savings on over 275 medicines toAmericans without prescription coverage andnot eligible for Medicare.

Partnership for Prescription Assistance

Pfizer also participates in the Partnershipfor Prescription Assistance, which is an industryprogram that offers a single point of access tomore than 475 patient assistance programs,including 180 programs offered bypharmaceutical companies, such as PfizerHelpful Answers.

International Initiatives

Internationally, we are combatingHIV/AIDS and trachoma in developing countriesthrough donating medicines, training healthcare providers, funding public health initiativesand building medical infrastructure. We arevery proud of our efforts in all parts of theworld and are convinced that we are doing agreat deal of good for people everywhere bykeeping people healthy and helping themavoid the often very painful and costlyconsequences of illness.

Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit

In addition to the steps we have taken, theimplementation of the Medicare prescriptiondrug benefit will help millions of America’s

seniors afford the medicines they need. Wehave worked hard to assure that access to ourproducts is as wide as possible under thisprogram and when it is fully implemented, weexpect millions of Americans to have improvedaccess to our products.

Pressing for More Affordable Co-Pays

Unfortunately, Pfizer cannot control theco-pays that insurers charge for our medicines.Patients who are insured have faced significantincreases in their co-pays, well beyond theunderlying wholesale price increase ofpharmaceuticals. For example, from 2001 to2005, our compound annual average net priceincrease was 3.3 percent. This compares withcompound annual co-payment increases of 11.1 and 15.5 percent charged by insurers for preferred and nonpreferred drugs, respectively. (Source: 2005 Employer HealthBenefits Survey, an annual publication by theKaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust, available athttp://www.kff.org/insurance/7148/index.cfm).In our opinion, keeping co-pays affordable iscritical to better health at more manageablecosts for payers, as good preventive and diseasemanagement care can limit the costlycomplications that truly drive up our healthcare costs as a society.

Pfizer is committed to doing our part torespond to public need today, but we also careabout patients who are still waiting for newtreatments. Prices that adequately reflect thevalue of our products provide us with the bestopportunity to invest in the research and otheroperations needed to discover, develop andmanufacture treatments for people withuntreated medical conditions. In our opinion,we help more people in more effective ways bysetting prices based on the real value of ourmedicines, and then working hard to helpthose who genuinely need assistance, than byadopting the mostly symbolic policy advocatedby this proposal.

In light of our commitment to access, ourlong-standing record of responsible pricing,and our responsibility to maintain shareholdervalue, we believe the resolution as set forth bythe proponents is unnecessary and not in thebest interest of our Company, our patients, andour investors.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

RESOLVED: Cumulative Voting.Shareholders recommend that our Board adoptcumulative voting as a bylaw or long-termpolicy. Cumulative voting means that eachshareholder may cast as many votes as equal tonumber of shares held, multiplied by thenumber of directors to be elected. Ashareholder may cast all such cumulated votesfor a single candidate or split votes betweenmultiple candidates, as that shareholder seesfit. Under cumulative voting shareholders canwithhold votes from certain nominees in orderto cast multiple votes for others.

Cumulative voting won impressive yes-votesof 54% at Aetna and 56% at Alaska Air in 2005.Cumulative voting also won an all-time recordsupport for any GM shareholder proposal topicat the 2005 GM annual meeting—more than49% of the yes and no votes.

I believe Cumulative voting will improveour corporate governance and increase thepossibility of electing at least one director witha specialized expertise needed at our companyfrom time to time.

Cumulative voting allows a significantgroup of shareholders to elect a director ordirectors of its choice — safeguarding minorityshareholder interests and bringingindependent perspectives to Board decisions.

Cumulative Voting Yes on 6.

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

The Board opposes this proposal becausewe do not believe cumulative voting is in thebest interests of the Company and itsshareholders for the following reasons:

• Cumulative voting could impair theeffective functioning of the Board byelecting a director obligated torepresent the special interest of a smallgroup of shareholders rather than all ofthe Company’s shareholders.

• Cumulative voting also allowsshareholders a voice in director electionsthat is disproportionate to theireconomic investment in the Company.The Board does not believe that anyminority of shareholders should beadvantaged or disadvantaged comparedwith all other shareholders.

• In addition, the Board believes thatcumulative voting is unnecessarybecause the Company has a

longstanding reputation for beinghighly responsive to shareholderconcerns:

For Example:

• The Company has been in theforefront of corporate governancebest practices for over two decades.

• In June 2005, the Board adopted aninnovative amendment to theCompany’s Corporate GovernancePrinciples that requires any directorreceiving a greater number of“WITHHELD” votes than “FOR” votesto tender his or her resignation to theCorporate Governance Committee.

• In 2003, the shareholders approved aproposal by management to declassifythe Board of Directors. All Companydirectors are now elected at eachannual meeting.

• Eleven of the Company’s 13 directorsare independent, as defined in theCompany’s Corporate GovernancePrinciples, which definition ofindependence not only meets butexceeds the listing standards of theNew York Stock Exchange.

• The Corporate GovernanceCommittee of the Board, which servesas the nominating committee, iscomprised solely of independentdirectors.

• Every director has received FOR votesof at least 95% for at least the pastfive years.

• The Board has never ignored aproposal from a shareholder thatreceived a majority of votes cast.

This proposal would alter the currentprocess by which each director is elected by thevote of all shareholders. The proposal couldpermit shareholders representing a relativelysmall minority of all shares to elect a director.Since each director oversees the managementof the Company for the benefit of ALLshareholders, the Board believes that changingthe current voting procedure would not be inthe best interest of all shareholders.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

RESOLVED: The shareholders of Pfizerrequest the Board of Directors establish a policyof, whenever possible, separating the roles ofChairman and Chief Executive Officer, so thatan independent director who has not served asan executive officer of the Company serves asChair of the Board of Directors.

This proposal shall not apply to the extentthat complying would necessarily breach anycontractual obligations in effect at the time ofthe 2006 shareholder meeting.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT:

We believe in the principle of theseparation of the roles of Chairman and ChiefExecutive Officer. This is a basic element ofsound corporate governance practice.

We believe an independent Board Chair—separated from the CEO—is the preferableform of corporate governance. The primarypurpose of the Board of Directors is to protectshareholder’s interests by providingindependent oversight of management andthe CEO. The Board gives strategic directionand guidance to our Company.

The Board will likely accomplish both rolesmore effectively by separating the roles ofChair and CEO. An independent Chair willenhance investor confidence in our Companyand strengthen the integrity of the Board ofDirectors.

A number of respected institutionsrecommend such separation. CalPER’sCorporate Core Principles and Guidelines state:“the independence of a majority of the Boardis not enough” and that “the leadership of theboard must embrace independence, and itmust ultimately change the way in whichdirectors interact with management.”

An independent Board structure will alsohelp the Board address complex issues facingour company, including the increasing criticismof our company’s business model. Thosecriticisms include skepticism of our marketingpractices, increased demands for disclosure oftrial data, and concerns about the rate of

innovation in the industry. All of these issuesmay impact our company’s long-term value.

Independent board leadership will alsohelp the board address reputation issues facingour company. Recent surveys found 70% ofrespondents “say drug companies put profitsahead of people.” Fully one half “say they havean unfavorable view of drug companies,”according to the study, which was completedby the Kaiser Family Foundation in February of2005. As the largest drug company (by totalrevenue and market capitalization, as of thedate this resolution was filed) in the world,Pfizer may be materially impacted by theseperceptions.

We believe an independent Chair andvigorous Board will be better able to forgesolutions to these challenges.

A similar resolution voted on in 2005 wassupported by 41 percent of shareholders.

In order to ensure that our Board canprovide the proper strategic direction for ourCompany with independence andaccountability, we urge a vote FOR thisresolution.

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

Your Board fully recognizes thatindependence from management is animportant component of an effective boardand believes that it has discharged thisresponsibility well to date.

Your Board is composed of a majority ofindependent board members with theautonomy to act independently frommanagement when making decisions that willbenefit the Company and long-termshareowners.

We take seriously our commitment to thehighest standards of corporate governance,including independent leadership, and we baseour policies and practices on the principles oftransparency, accountability and integrity.

Corporate Governance Principles

The Board’s Corporate GovernancePrinciples, instituted over a decade ago andevaluated annually, support the autonomy ofour oversight and preserve the integrity of ourfunction as shareholder representatives. ThesePrinciples are designed to ensure independenceand thought leadership whether or not theChairman and Chief Executive Officer roles areseparated.

Lead Independent Director

In September 2005, the Board elected aLead Independent Director, with clearly definedleadership authority and responsibilities. Therole of the Lead Independent Director is to:

• Recommend to the Chairman theretention of outside advisors andconsultants who report directly to theBoard of Directors on board-wide issues

• Upon request, ensure availability, whenappropriate, for consultation and directcommunication with shareholders

Independent Board Committees

Except for the Executive Committee, all ofthe committees are composed entirely ofindependent directors.

Corporate Governance Website

In furtherance of your Board’scommitment to transparency andaccountability, our governance structure hasbeen available on our Website long beforerecent regulatory mandates, and includes ourCorporate Governance Principles, CommitteeCharters, Director Qualification Standards,Board member backgrounds and contactinformation for directors.

As indicated above, the governance profileof the Company is sufficient to ensure Boardindependence and accountability. The Boardbelieves it is in the best interests of theCompany and its shareholders to retainflexibility to exercise its collective judgment todetermine who should serve as Chairman,given the circumstances at any particular pointin time.

RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Pfizer(“Pfizer” or “the Company”) hereby requestthat the Company provide a report, updatedsemi-annually, disclosing the Company’s:

1. Policies and procedures for politicalcontributions and expenditures (bothdirect and indirect) made with corporatefunds.

2. Monetary and non-monetary politicalcontributions and expenditures notdeductible under section 162 (e)(1)(B) ofthe Internal Revenue Code, includingbut not limited to contributions to orexpenditures on behalf of politicalcandidates, political parties, politicalcommittees and other political entitiesorganized and operating under 26 USCSec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Codeand any portion of any dues or similarpayments made to any tax exemptorganization that is used for anexpenditure or contribution if madedirectly by the corporation would not bedeductible under section 162 (e)(1)(B) ofthe Internal Revenue Code. The reportshall include the following:

a. An accounting of the Company’sfunds that are used for politicalcontributions or expenditures asdescribed above;

b. Identification of the person or personsin the Company who participated inmaking the decisions to make thepolitical contribution or expenditure;and,

c. The internal guidelines or policies, ifany, governing the Company’spolitical contributions andexpenditures.

This report shall be presented to the board ofdirectors’ audit committee or other relevantoversight committee, and posted on theCompany’s Website to reduce costs toshareholders.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

As long-term shareholders of Pfizer, wesupport policies that apply transparency and

accountability to corporate spending onpolitical activities. Such disclosure is consistentwith public policy and in the best interest ofthe Company’s shareholders.

Company executives exercise widediscretion over the use of corporate resourcesfor political activities. These decisions involvepolitical contributions with corporate funds,called “soft money.” They also involvepayments to trade associations and other tax-exempt groups used for political activities thatmedia accounts call the “new soft money.”Most of these expenditures are not publiclydisclosed. In 2003-04, the last fully reportedelection cycle; our Company contributed atleast $1,052,681 in soft money contributions.(Center for Public Integrity, Silent Partners:http://www.publicintegrity.org/527/db.aspx?act=main). However, its payments to tradeassociations used for political activities areundisclosed and unknown. Our proposal asksthe Company to disclose its politicalcontributions and payments to tax-exemptorganizations including trade associations.

The Bi-Partisan Campaign Reform Act of2002 allows companies to contribute toindependent political committees, also knownas 527s, and to give to tax-exemptorganizations that make political expendituresand contributions.

Absent a system of accountability,corporate executives will be free to usecompany assets for political objectives that arenot shared by and may be inimical to theinterests of the Company and its shareholders.Relying on publicly available data does notprovide a complete picture of the Company’spolitical expenditures. The Company’s Boardand its shareholders need complete disclosureto be able to fully evaluate the political use ofcorporate assets. Thus, we urge your supportFOR this critical governance reform.

of the most highly regulated industries in ourcountry. Pfizer is directly impacted by federaltax, trade, environmental and health policies,including the enactment of a Medicareprescription drug benefit. Additionally, stategovernments are extremely active in proposingfurther regulations on the pharmaceuticalindustry, including access restrictions and pricecontrols. As a major participant in this highlyregulated business environment, Pfizer must beactively involved in the political process.Indeed, it is vital that we engage legally inappropriate activities to help elect policymakers who support innovation and access inhealth care.

Pfizer complies with all Federal, State andLocal Laws regarding Reporting of PoliticalContributions.

Pfizer complies fully with all Federal, stateand local laws and reporting requirementsgoverning Political Action Committees (PAC)and corporate political contributions. Anycontributions of the types described by theproponent are fully disclosed by the Companyor by the recipient of the contribution, or byboth the Company and recipient, in publiclyavailable filings as required by applicablefederal and state laws.

Pfizer’s Corporate Reporting Procedure

Pfizer also has a specific CorporateProcedure that requires all PAC and corporatepolitical contributions to be compiled andpublished semi-annually in a report that ismade available on the Company’s Website atwww.pfizer.com under the “Who We Are—ForInvestors” in the Corporate Governancesection. The semi-annual reports are presentedto the Pfizer Board of Directors prior to release.

Trade Associations and Contributions

With respect to trade associations, Pfizergenerally does not earmark payments forpolitical purposes. In those isolated instances inwhich it does, Pfizer discloses those paymentsas political contributions, as the Policy requires.Thus, all payments that Pfizer makes to tradeassociations specifically for political purposesare reported under the Policy.

Steering Committee Oversight

With respect to political contributiongovernance, Pfizer has a Steering Committeecomprised of eight colleagues that review andapprove all PAC and corporate politicalcontributions on a monthly basis. To ensureadequate representation, Steering Committeemembers represent different divisions withinthe Pfizer organization. In addition, all FederalPAC contribution requests are shared with thePfizer Political Contributions Policy Committeefor review and approval. Representativesserving on the Political Contributions PolicyCommittee include the General Counsel, PfizerPAC Treasurer, head of Government Relations,and several others.

Pfizer also has a long-standing policyforbidding the use of corporate contributionsin Federal elections, and the Company expectsall colleagues to comply with the FederalElection Campaign Act (FECA), the BipartisanCampaign Reform Act (BCRA) and PfizerCorporate Policy regarding U.S. ElectionContributions. Pfizer colleagues are prohibitedfrom using corporate resources, includingcorporate funds or in-kind items or services, tosupport or oppose a Federal election. In stateand local jurisdictions that permit corporatecontributions, colleagues must seek review andapproval from the Legal Division prior tocommitting corporate funds or resources to astate or local candidate, political party orpolitical committee.

Pfizer has been recognized as a leader in disclosure with respect to its politicalcontributions. In 2004, representatives of theNathan Cummings Foundation stated that intheir opinion, Pfizer’s report on politicalcontributions represented the standard ofdisclosure to which other companies shouldaspire.

We believe that the Company’s currentpolicies and practices as well as federal andstate reporting requirements are sufficient toadvance the Company’s interest and providepublic disclosure. Adopting a policy as set forthin the proposal would create an unnecessaryexpense and would therefore not be aproductive use of the Company’s funds.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: thatthe shareholders request that the Board issue areport to shareholders on the feasibility ofamending the Company’s Laboratory AnimalCare and Use policy to ensure (a) that itextends to all contract laboratories and that itis reviewed with such outside laboratories on aregular basis, and (b) superior standards of carefor animals who continue to be used for thesepurposes, both by the Company itself and by allindependently retained laboratories, includingprovisions to ensure that animals’psychological, social and behavioral needs aremet. Further, the shareholders request that theBoard issue an annual report to shareholderson the extent to which in-house and contractlaboratories are adhering to this policy,including the implementation of thepsychological enrichment measures.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

A number of pharmaceutical companieshave adopted and prominently publishedanimal welfare policies on their Websitesrelating to the care of animals used in productresearch and development. The Company has apublished policy committed to approaching “allresearch involving animals with the highestlevel of humane concern ...”l

However, the recent disclosure of atrocitiesrecorded at Covance, Inc. has made the needfor a formalized, publicly available animalwelfare policy that extends to all outside

contractors all the more relevant, indeedurgent. Filmed footage showed primates beingsubjected to such gross physical abuses andpsychological torments that Covance sued tostop PETA Europe from publicizing it. TheHonorable Judge Peter Langan, in the UnitedKingdom, who denied Covance’s petition,stated in his decision that the video was“highly disturbing” and that just two aspects ofit, namely the “rough manner in which animalsare handled and the bleakness of thesurroundings in which they are kept ... even toa viewer with no particular interest in animalwelfare, at least cry out for explanation.”2

Shareholders cannot monitor what goeson behind the closed doors of the animaltesting laboratories, so the Company must.Accordingly, we urge the Board to commit toensuring that basic animal welfare measuresare an integral part of our Company’scorporate stewardship.

We urge shareholders to support thisResolution.1 http://www.pfizer.com/pfizer/are/about_public

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

Pfizer is a global research-basedpharmaceutical company dedicated to findingcures for human AND animal disease andimproving their quality of life. We arecommitted to expanding the application andaccuracy of alternative methods, but in thecourse of discovering new cures, it is necessaryto conduct some research in animals. There aremany questions in research and safetyassessment that only studies in whole animalscan answer. In addition, a number of studiesare also required by regulatory authorities forapproval of our medicines for human use.

Our Company has long recognized thatensuring the health and well-being of ourresearch animals is not only an ethical

ITEM 9—Shareholder Proposal Requesting a Report on the Feasibility ofAmending Pfizer’s Corporate Policy on Laboratory Animal Care and Use

imperative but also fundamental to goodscientific outcomes in the discovery anddevelopment of important new medicines.

— We conduct each of our studies withthe highest level of humane concernfor the animals.

— All our sites have one or moreveterinarians whose primaryresponsibility is the care and welfare ofthe research animals and our animalcare staff is trained to very highstandards.

— Our comprehensive programs of animalcare and use at each site, which meetor exceed regulatory standards, alsoinclude provisions for environmentalenrichment for our animals.

The 3Rs of Animal Research

Pfizer is committed to the principlesembodied by the 3Rs of animal research:seeking alternatives that Reduce, Replace orRefine our work with animals wherever suchalternatives are available and appropriate.

Fourth and Fifth “Rs”

These principles form the foundation ofour Corporate Policy on Laboratory AnimalCare and Use, but Pfizer also has added fourthand fifth “Rs” as fundamental and importantprinciples in all our work. These are Respect forAnimals and Recognition of the importantcontributions that animal-based researchmakes to our goal of improving human andanimal health worldwide.

Monitoring

Pfizer believes that we have alreadyimplemented the “superior standards of care”requested by the proposal. Furthermore,contract research organizations engaged byPfizer are required to demonstrate theircompliance with applicable regulations andstandards, which include provisions for boththe physical and psychological well-being ofanimals. Regular monitoring of these facilitiesby Pfizer is already standard practice, and theyare held accountable not only to Pfizer andtheir other customers, but also to manyregulatory authorities and accrediting agencies

including the United States Department ofAgriculture (USDA), the Food and DrugAdministration (FDA), the Public Health Service(PHS) and the Association for Assessment andAccreditation of Laboratory Animal CareInternational (AAALAC), and others.

Should the rare circumstance arise that acontract testing facility is found to be out ofcompliance, Pfizer will take immediate andappropriate action. As a rule, we would notpublicly announce, comment on, or discussthese actions.

Producing an annual report toshareholders on the extent to which in-houseand contract laboratories are adhering to thispolicy, including the implementation of thepsychological enrichment measures would notserve any useful purpose and create anunnecessary expense.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

WHEREAS, The Company has adopted aLaboratory Animal Care and Use policy (the“Policy”) which appears on the Pfizer Website;1

WHEREAS, the Policy asserts that Pfizer iscommitted to the “principles known as the 3Rsof animal research”;

WHEREAS, the 3Rs include i) the“refinement of the use of research animals touse less painful or the least invasive procedureswhenever possible”; ii) the “reduction of thenumbers of animals used in each study to theabsolute minimum necessary to obtain validresults”; and iii) the “replacement of animalexperiments with non-animal experiments suchas mathematical models, computer simulations,and in vitro biological systems wheneverappropriate”;

WHEREAS, it was reported in the FinancialTimes2 that Pfizer and two otherpharmaceutical companies3 donated fourmillion pounds (£4M) to British universities topromote medical research and trainingspecifically using animals;

WHEREAS, the article reported that Pfizerand the other two companies stated “thedonation was part of a greater willingness bytheir industry to back animal testing publicly”;

WHEREAS, a credibility gap arises from theCompany’s professed Policy and its affirmativepromotion of animal testing as reported in theFinancial Times;

RESOLVED, that the Board is requested toreport to shareholders on the justification foraffirmatively contributing to the advancementof animal-based testing while publiclypromoting an animal care Policy thataffirmatively commits to the advancement ofnon-animal based test methodologies.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

Affirmatively supporting and promotinganimal testing is wholly inconsistent withPfizer’s Policy of reducing, refining, andreplacing animal-based methods. Moreover, inthe Proxy Materials for the 2004 annualmeeting of shareholders, the Company reliedon its commitment to the Policy in an effort to

convince shareholders to vote against aShareholder Proposal Relating to In VitroTesting. That Proposal sought support for fivevalidated non-animal test methods. TheCompany opposed the Proposal, arguing thatPfizer was fully committed to its animal carePolicy which rendered the Proposalunnecessary. Pfizer made the followingstatements in the 2004 Proxy Statement:

• “We are committed to the principlesembodied by the 3Rs of animal research:seeking alternatives that Reduce,Replace or Refine our work with animalswhen such alternatives are available andappropriate.”

• “Pfizer has always supported the use ofin vitro alternatives ...”

• “We approach all research involvinganimals with the highest level ofhumane concern.”

• “[W]e are already working withregulators in an effort to increase theuse of alternative models where suchalternatives can be used appropriately.”

These statements cannot be reconciledwith the decision to commit significant fundsfor the purpose of affirmatively promoting andpublicly advancing animal testing and traininggraduate students to conduct animalexperiments.

We urge our fellow shareholders tosupport this Resolution and bring Pfizer’sactions into harmony with the Company’sAnimal Care and Use Policy.1 http:/www.pfizer.com/pfizer/are/about_publc

YOUR COMPANY’S RESPONSE

Pfizer remains committed to the use ofalternative testing methods wherever such testsare scientifically valid and do not compromisepatient safety or the effectiveness of ourmedicines. We are working with regulators in

ITEM 10—Shareholder Proposal Requesting Justification for FinancialContributions which Advance Animal-Based Testing Methodologies

an effort to increase the use of alternativemodels where such alternatives can be usedappropriately. However, we are in agreementwith regulators that the overall testing processmust involve some level of in vivo testing inorder to meet our overriding responsibility toprovide patients with medicines that are botheffective and as safe as possible.

It is in connection with this responsibilitythat Pfizer and the other pharmaceuticalcompanies are working to support the qualityof in vivo research in the UK. By providingthese grants to institutions with expertise inthe conduct of in vivo studies under the higheststandards of animal welfare, we supporttraining of a new generation of skilledscientists that will understand and apply theprinciples of humane care and use of researchanimals.

We believe that such funding is incomplete harmony with those aspects of ourPolicy that relate to Respect for animals andRecognition of the important contributionsthat animal-based research makes to our goalof improving human and animal healthworldwide, as well as seeking alternatives thatReduce, Replace or Refine our work withanimals when such alternatives are availableand appropriate.

The concerns of the proponent have beensubstantially addressed. The Board does notbelieve that adopting this proposal would be inthe shareholders’ best interest.

Your Board of Directors unanimouslyrecommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

Overview of Compensation Philosophy and Program

The Compensation Committee, composedentirely of independent directors, administersthe Company’s executive compensationprogram. The role of the Committee is tooversee Pfizer’s compensation and benefitplans and policies, administer its stock plans(including reviewing and approving equitygrants to elected officers) and review andapprove annually all compensation decisionsrelating to elected officers, including those forthe Chairman and CEO and the other executiveofficers named in the Summary CompensationTable (the “Named Executive Officers”). TheCommittee submits its decisions regardingcompensation for the Chairman and CEO to theindependent Directors of the Board forratification.

The Committee recognizes the importanceof maintaining sound principles for thedevelopment and administration ofcompensation and benefit programs, and hastaken steps to significantly enhance theCommittee’s ability to effectively carry out itsresponsibilities as well as ensure that theCompany maintains strong links betweenexecutive pay and performance. Examples ofactions that the Committee has taken include:

• Rotated Committee members over thepast year;

• Initiated a practice of holding executivesessions (without Company managementpresent) at every Committee meeting;

• Hired an independent compensationconsultant to advise on executivecompensation issues;

• Made the following changes in theexecutive compensation program:

• Enhanced the transparency ofcompensation policy and actions;

• Realigned compensation structuresbased on targeting mediancompetitive pay;

• Established a higher-performingpharmaceutical peer group forperformance comparisons;

• Introduced a Fortune-100 peer groupto better align target compensationwith median competitive data;

• Strengthened the link between theCEO annual pay and shareholdervalue through specific objectives;

• Refocused the 2006 performance-share grants in the Executive Long-Term Incentive Program so thatpayouts are determined solely onshareholder value;

• Established annual reviews of detailedcompensation tally sheets for theNamed Executive Officers;

• Established limitations on executivepension benefits, on a going-forwardbasis; and

• Initiated limitations, with concurrenceof management, on executivechange-in-control agreements.

Charter

The Compensation Committee’s Charterreflects these responsibilities, and theCommittee and the Board periodically reviewand revise the Charter. The full text of theCompensation Committee Charter is shown inAnnex 4 to this Proxy Statement. TheCommittee’s membership is determined by theBoard. There were 15 meetings of theCommittee in 2005, including seven executivesessions with the Committee members only.

Compensation Consultant

The Executive Compensation group inPfizer’s Corporate Human ResourcesDepartment supports the Committee in itswork. In addition, the Committee has theauthority under its charter to engage theservices of outside advisors, experts and othersto assist the Committee. In accordance with thisauthority, the Committee engages George B.Paulin, Chief Executive Officer of Frederic W.Cook & Co., as independent outsidecompensation consultant to advise theCommittee on all matters related to CEO andother executive compensation. Theindependent compensation consultant’s firmdoes not advise management of the Company,and receives no other compensation from the

Compensation Committee Report and Executive Compensation

50

Company, other than a fee of less than $5,000to provide an executive salary survey. Theconsultant attended all of the Committeemeetings in 2005.

General Compensation Philosophy

The Committee believes thatcompensation paid to executive officers shouldbe closely aligned with the performance of theCompany on both a short-term and long-termbasis, and that such compensation should assistthe Company in attracting and retaining keyexecutives critical to its long-term success.Compensation should be structured to ensurethat a significant portion of compensationopportunity will be directly related to Companystock performance and other factors thatdirectly and indirectly influence shareholdervalue. To that end, it is the view of the Boardthat the total compensation program forexecutive officers should consist of thefollowing:

• Salaries;

• Annual cash incentive awards;

• Long-term incentive compensation; and

• Certain other benefits.

It is the intent of the Committee thatmidpoint salary, target bonus levels and targetannual long-term incentive award values be setat the median of a peer group ofpharmaceutical companies and also a generalindustry peer group of Fortune-100 companies,based on available survey data. The companiesthat comprised our pharmaceutical peer groupin 2005 consist of Abbott Laboratories, Amgen,AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, EliLilly and Company, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson &Johnson, Merck and Co., Inc., Schering-PloughCorporation and Wyeth. Where appropriate,the target position is adjusted to reflect Pfizer’sscale and scope. For salary and bonus levels,these adjustments, if any, are generally basedon differences in revenues and relative marketcapitalization. In 2005, the long-term incentivetarget awards were positioned to align withthe median of the survey data.

As noted above, the Committee also uses ageneral industry peer group consisting ofabout one half of the Fortune-100 companiesthat best align with our sales volume, cash flowand market capitalization, as well as with thenature of our business and workforce, in

determining the competitive positioning ofpay. This general industry peer group canchange from time to time based on the criteriastated above. In addition to reviewingexecutive officers’ compensation against thecomparative groups, the Committee alsoconsiders recommendations from the Chairmanand CEO regarding total compensation forthose executives reporting directly to him.Management provides to the Committeehistorical and prospective breakdowns of thetotal compensation components for eachexecutive officer.

Financial Restatement

It is the Board of Directors’ Policy that theCommittee will, to the extent permitted bygoverning law, have the sole and absoluteauthority to make retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity based incentivecompensation paid to executive officers andcertain other officers where the payment waspredicated upon the achievement of certainfinancial results that were subsequently thesubject of a restatement. Where applicable, theCompany will seek to recover any amountdetermined to have been inappropriatelyreceived by the individual executive.

Tax Deductibility of Pay

Section 162(m) of the Internal RevenueCode of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”),places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount ofcompensation that Pfizer may deduct in anyone year with respect to each of its five mosthighly paid executive officers. There is anexception to the $1,000,000 limitation forperformance-based compensation meetingcertain requirements. Annual cash incentivecompensation, stock option awards andPerformance-Contingent Share Awardsgenerally are performance-based compensationmeeting those requirements and, as such, arefully deductible. To maintain flexibility incompensating executive officers in a mannerdesigned to promote varying corporate goals,the Committee has not adopted a policyrequiring all compensation to be deductible.Since Dr. McKinnell’s and Ms. Katen’s salaries areabove the $1,000,000 threshold, a portion oftheir salaries and the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) value of their perquisites are notdeductible by the Company. Restricted stockand restricted stock units are not consideredperformance-based under Section 162(m) of the

Page 57: 39174 Pfizer Proxy Statement...Pfizer Inc. Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Proxy Statement and 2005 Financial Report1 March 16, 2006 1The 2005 Financial Report is not included

51

Tax Code and, as such, are generally notdeductible by the Company. All other annualincentives and long-term incentive amounts willbe deductible when they are paid to theexecutive officers.

Total Compensation—Tally Sheets

The Company intends to continue itsstrategy of compensating its executivesthrough programs that emphasizeperformance-based incentive compensation. Tothat end, executive compensation is tieddirectly to the performance of the Companyand is structured to ensure that, due to thenature of the business, there is an appropriatebalance between the long-term and short-termperformance of the Company, and also abalance between Company financialperformance and shareholder return. For 2005,the actual total compensation of the Named

Executive Officers generally fell within the thirdquartile of total compensation paid toexecutives holding equivalent positions in thepharmaceutical peer group companies. TheCommittee believes that this position wasconsistent with Company financialperformance and the individual performanceof each of the Named Executive Officers, andalso believes that the compensation wasreasonable in its totality. Compensation tallysheets for each of the Named Executive Officerswere prepared and reviewed by the Committeein 2005. These tally sheets affixed dollaramounts to all components of the NamedExecutive Officers’ 2005 compensation,including current pay (salary and bonus),deferred compensation, outstanding equityawards, benefits, perquisites and potentialchange-in-control severance payments. TheCommittee has committed to review tallysheets at least on an annual basis.

(2) The amounts shown in this column represent tax payments made by Pfizer on behalf of each Named Executive Officer relatingto his or her use of Company transportation and, in 2005, the value of perquisites. In 2005, this amount also includes a nominaltax payment associated with participation in our Healthy Directions program. This program, which is designed to fosterhealthier living for our employees and their families, is open to all U.S. Pfizer employees. Program participants received a smallincentive and related tax gross-up in 2005. In 2004, the amounts also included tax payments relating to a holiday gift, aprogram which ended in 2005. For Mr. Kindler, in 2003 the amount also includes tax payments relating to temporary housingcosts incurred in connection with his relocation. In 2005, the perquisite value was determined based on our revisedincremental cost methodology.

All grants of restricted stock were made under the 2001 Stock and Incentive Plan or itspredecessor Plan. Dividends are paid or reinvested during the restricted period. The Company grants awards of restricted stockfrom time to time either as part of a program for a particular year, or on an ad hoc basis to encourage retention of key talent.The Company has granted restricted stock units rather than restricted stock since 2003. The restricted stock units are settled instock, and accumulate reinvested dividend equivalent units which are also paid in stock at the same time that the restrictedstock units are paid.

The Company provides the opportunity todefer, as shares, Performance-Contingent ShareAwards that are earned and otherwise wouldbe paid under that Program. Dividends arepaid on those deferred shares and arereinvested. Annual incentives, as shown in theBonus column of the Summary CompensationTable, may also be deferred into a Pfizer unitfund or a fund earning interest at 120% of theFederal Long-Term rate (which fluctuatedbetween 5.09% and 5.65% in 2005).

Salaries

The salaries of the Named ExecutiveOfficers are reviewed on an annual basis, aswell as at the time of a promotion or otherchange in responsibilities. Increases in salary arebased on an evaluation of the individual’sperformance and level of pay compared topharmaceutical and general industry peergroup pay levels. Merit increases normally takeeffect on April 1st of each year. In April 2005,the effective date of annual increases, thesalaries for the Named Executive Officersremained at the same level as the April 2004salaries (the salaries for the first 3 months of2004 were at the prior year’s level) because ofthe anticipated need for cost control measuresin 2005.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan

In 1997, the Board of Directors adopted,and the shareholders approved, the Pfizer Inc.Executive Annual Incentive Plan. Under theterms of this Plan, a maximum annual cash

incentive award of 0.3% of Plan Adjusted NetIncome, as defined in the Plan, (whichdefinition is included below in the discussion ofthe Plan under the heading “Long-TermCompensation Plans”) was established for eachExecutive Officer participating in the Plan. Theawards for 2005 performance are below theaggregate maximum of $24.25 millionpermitted under the plan. The Committee willcontinue to base these awards on Companyand individual performance criteria subject tothe established maximum.

Annual incentive awards are determinedas a percentage of each Named ExecutiveOfficer’s base salary. The Committeedetermines the performance measures andother terms and conditions of awards forNamed Executive Officers covered under thePlan. For 2005, the bonus targets for theNamed Executive Officers ranged from 60% to125% of base salary depending on the officer’sposition, as shown in the table below.

Present Value of 2005 Total Compensation

(1) Present value of the stock option award granted in February 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated bythe Company for financial reporting purposes ($5.15 per share). The Company cautions that the actual amountultimately realized by a Named Executive Officer from the disclosed equity awards will likely vary based a number offactors, including the Company's actual operating performance, stock price fluctuations, differences from thevaluation assumptions used and the timing of exercise or applicable vesting.

(2) Target Performance-Contingent Shares for the performance period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009.These have been valued based on the average of the highest and lowest price of Pfizer common stock on the date ofthe grant, February 24, 2005 ($26.20) and may not reflect the value of the award upon payment.

(3) This accrual represents the difference between the lump sum values on December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 ofthe then currently payable annual pension benefit. The calculation is explained in the Pension Plan section of thisReport. Since Mr. Kindler is not retirement eligible, the accrual is based on the difference of the present values of hisaccrued age 65 benefit on December 31, 2004 and 2005.

(4) The amounts shown in the Savings Plan Match column represent Company matching funds under the Pfizer SavingsPlan (a tax-qualified retirement savings plan) and related Supplemental Plan, which are discussed under the heading“Pfizer Savings Plan.”

Under the Plan, the target bonus isestablished through an analysis ofcompensation for comparable positions in thepharmaceutical and general industry peergroup companies and is intended to provide acompetitive level of compensation when theNamed Executive Officers achieve theirperformance objectives as approved by theCommittee. The actual bonus award isdetermined according to each NamedExecutive Officer’s level of achievement againsthis or her individual financial and strategicperformance objectives. Target and ActualAnnual Incentive Awards for 2005 paid to eachof the Named Executive Officers are shown inthe above table. Prorated changes in theannual target bonus levels can occur during theyear if there are changes in the officer’s salarygrade level that warrant a target change. Theactual awards are also included in the “Bonus”column of the Summary Compensation Table.

In 2005, the performance objectives for theNamed Executive Officers generally includedthe following, depending on each Officer’s rolein the Company:

• Financial objectives — revenues,adjusted diluted earnings per share,adjusted operating cash flow per share,merger related synergies and other costsavings initiatives, certain divisionalfinancial measures, and effectivelycommunicating strategy and results toincrease shareholder value.

In assessing performance against theobjectives, the Committee considers actualresults against the specific deliverablesassociated with each objective, the extent towhich the objective was a significant stretchgoal for the organization, and whethersignificant unforeseen obstacles or favorablecircumstances altered the expected difficulty ofachieving the desired results. The Committeeassesses the level of achievement against eachobjective, and then determines an overallassessment for each Named Executive Officer.The Committee’s overall assessment alsoconsiders the performance achievementsrelative to shareholder value. The overallassessment for each Named Executive Officerthen determines the percent of the targetaward that will be paid to the Officer as theAnnual Incentive for that year.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Committee believes that equity-basedcompensation ensures that the Company’sexecutive officers have a continuing stake inthe long-term success of the Company.

Dr. McKinnell and the other executiveofficers participate in the Company’s ExecutiveLong-Term Incentive Compensation Program,which for 2005 generally consisted of stockoptions and Performance-Contingent ShareAwards. The annual total long-term incentivetarget value is divided evenly, so that half ofthe value is delivered in stock options and halfis delivered in Performance-Contingent ShareAwards.

Stock Options

The Committee granted stock options toeach executive officer in February 2005 underthe Company’s 2004 Stock Plan.

Executive officers were awarded non-qualified stock options with an exercise priceequal to the fair market value of Pfizercommon stock on the date of grant.Accordingly, those stock options will have valueonly if the market price of the common stockincreases after that date. In determining thesize of stock option grants to executive officers,the Committee considers similar awards toindividuals holding comparable positions in ourcomparative groups, Company performance

against the strategic plan, individualperformance against the individual’s objectives,as well as the allocation of overall share usageattributed to executive officers. Actual stockoption awards can range from zero to twotimes the target awards based on individualperformance.

The Named Executive Officers wereawarded the number of stock options shown inthe table below. As shown in the table, thestock option grants vest ratably on the third,fourth and fifth anniversary of the optiongrant date. This table shows all options topurchase Pfizer common stock granted to eachof the Named Executive Officers in 2005 andthe potential value of such grants at stock priceappreciation rates of 0%, 5% and 10%,compounded annually over the maximum ten-year term of the options, as well as the fairvalue of the grant on the award date.

If the options are held for at least one yearprior to retirement, the options will generallybecome exercisable on schedule and remainexercisable for the full term of the grant.

The material terms of these grants arediscussed in the section of the Proxy Statemententitled “Employee Benefit and Long-TermCompensation Plans.”

Performance-Contingent Share Awards

The Committee awarded the right to earnshares of Pfizer common stock to the executiveofficers, including the Named ExecutiveOfficers, for the 2005-2009 performance periodunder the 2004 Stock Plan. These awards aredetermined according to each participant’ssalary level, based on competitive survey data,and do not vary based on individualperformance. Estimated future payouts may be

adjusted prospectively to reflect changes in theExecutive Officer’s salary grade level. Actualpayouts of these Performance-ContingentShares, if any, will be determined by a non-discretionary formula, which measures ourperformance over a five-year period using totalshareholder return (including reinvestment ofdividends) and growth in diluted earnings pershare, measured over the performance periodrelative to the pharmaceutical peer group.

(1) Value is determined based on stock price less exercise price, using the average of the high and low trading prices ofPfizer common stock on December 31, 2005 ($23.34).

The performance formula weighs thesetwo criteria equally. If our performance in bothmeasures is below the threshold level relativeto the pharmaceutical peer group, then noPerformance-Contingent Shares will beearned. To the extent that the Company’sperformance on either or both measuresexceeds the threshold performance levelrelative to the peer group, a varying numberof Performance-Contingent Shares up to themaximum will be earned.

The number of Performance-ContingentShares that the Named Executive Officers mayearn at the end of the five-year performanceperiod 1/1/2005-12/31/2009 is shown in the table below. The other outstandingPerformance-Contingent Share Awardperformance periods are also included in thetable. The payout from the Performance-Contingent Share Award Program can rangefrom zero to 167% of the target awards basedon Company performance versus thepharmaceutical peer group, as discussed laterin this Report.

These estimated future payouts may beprospectively adjusted to reflect changes in theExecutive Officer’s salary grade level. Under thePerformance Contingent Share AwardProgram, if the participant retires after one ormore years from the start of the performance

period, the grant will generally be prorated forservice and paid in accordance with theprovisions of the Program upon completion ofthe performance period.

(1) The actual number of Performance-Contingent Shares that will be paid out at the end of the applicable period, if any,cannot be determined because the shares earned by the Named Executive Officers will be based upon the Company’sfuture performance compared to the future performance of the peer group.

(2) If our minimum performance in both measures is below the threshold level relative to the peer group, then noPerformance-Contingent Shares will be earned. To the extent the Company’s performance on either or both measuresexceeds the threshold performance level relative to the peer group, a varying amount of shares up to the maximum willbe earned.

The Committee does not rely solely onpredetermined formulas or a limited set ofcriteria when it evaluates the performance ofthe Chairman and CEO and the Company’sother elected officers.

In 2005, the Committee consideredmanagement’s continuing achievement of itsshort and long-term goals versus its strategicimperatives, including Dr. McKinnell’s objectiveswhich are shown below:

• Achieve specific revenue, EPS, operatingcash flow per share, and merger-relatedsynergy goals

• Effectively communicate strategy andfinancial results to increase shareholdervalue

• Deliver more new medicines morequickly to patients, through industry-leading R&D productivity and significantin-licensing activity

• Adapting to Scale

• Promote new directions in health andwellness

• Shape a positive environment for betterhealthcare

• Developing People, Talent, and theOrganization

The Committee based their compensationdecisions for Dr. McKinnell on their assessmentof the Company’s performance and hisperformance based on the objectives listedabove.

Overall, the financial targets, whichreflected a significant stretch for theorganization given the dynamic businessenvironment and the loss of exclusivity forcertain key products, were exceeded. However, given the performance of the Company’s stockprice in 2005 when compared to prior years,the Committee felt that the goal of effectivelycommunicating strategy and financial results toincrease shareholder value was not met.

Evaluation of Executive Performance in 2005 and CEO Compensation

All R&D productivity and licensing goalswere met or exceeded, with, notably, fiveproducts under priority review at the FDA — anindustry first. As the R&D organizationcontinues to establish the industry standard inproductivity, the Committee determined thatperformance against this objective significantlysurpassed expectations.

In 2005, initiatives related to Adapting to Scale resulted in twice the cost reductionthat had been estimated for the year, giving a very strong start to the Company’s efforts to reduce the cost base and streamline theorganization. In addition, significantimprovements were made in streamlininggovernance and decision-making, rationalizingenterprise-wide processes, and integrating theHuman Health operating division. Althoughchallenges remain with respect to improvingcolleague engagement through effectivecommunications, the Committee believes thatoverall performance significantly surpassed the expected outcomes for this objective.

In promoting new directions in health andwellness, Pfizer’s newly launched HealthyDirections program for U.S. based colleaguesfar exceeded expectations, with over 80% ofeligible colleagues participating and over 50%of eligible spouses/partners participating. Onthe external front, Pfizer continues to leadhealth system effectiveness efforts for thepharmaceutical industry. Pfizer was the onlypharmaceutical company selected toparticipate in the Medicare chronic careimprovement program pilots, and hassignificantly expanded health solutionsinitiatives in Europe. As a result, the Committeedetermined that these goals were significantlyexceeded.

The Company is also leading efforts torebuild trust in the industry and largecompanies in general. The Committeerecognized Pfizer’s leadership in addressing theHIV/AIDS crisis around the world, developingand launching the PhRMA Partnership forPrescription Assistance (with over one millionpatients linked up to company donations byyear-end) as well as leadership in thedevelopment of the PhRMA Guiding Principleson Direct-to-Consumer Advertisements. TheCommittee also acknowledged the Company’s

significant efforts to ensure that allstakeholders understand that Pfizer is helpingto ensure affordable access to pharmaceuticalmedicines and are working toward a healthsystem based on health, wellness, andprevention. Overall, the Committee believesthat the Company surpassed expectations ofperformance against this particularlychallenging objective.

With respect to the final objective for 2005 — Developing People, Talent, and theOrganization — the Committee recognizedthat senior leadership of the Company hasbeen instrumental in developing andimplementing new People & Talent strategiesrelated to long-term development planning forkey talent, enhancing leadership skills for all“people managers”, and enabling Pfizer tobecome a global leader in attracting,developing, and engaging a diverse workforcethat delivers superior business results. As aresult, the Committee determined that thegoals of this objective were surpassed.

New Executive Long-Term Incentive Program

Effective February 23, 2006, theCompensation Committee adopted theExecutive Long-Term Incentive Program. ThisProgram consists of stock options, restrictedstock units and performance shares. Thefollowing tables set forth informationconcerning the number of stock options andrestricted stock units as well as informationabout participation of the Named ExecutiveOfficers in the performance share portion ofthe Executive Long-Term Incentive Program forthe performance period January 1, 2006 toDecember 31, 2008. Under the 2006 Program,the Named Executive Officers were awardedthe right to earn performance shares of ourcommon stock. Actual payouts of these shares,if any, will be determined by a non-discretionary formula, which measures our

performance over a three-year period usingtotal shareholder return (includingreinvestment of dividends) (“TSR”), measuredover the performance period relative to thepharmaceutical peer group. If our minimumTSR performance is below the threshold levelrelative to the peer group, then no shares willbe earned. If our TSR over the performanceperiod is above the threshold level relative tothe peer group, but is negative in the absolute,then the payout will be limited to no morethan the target award. Otherwise, to theextent the Company’s performance exceeds thethreshold performance level relative to thepeer group, a varying amount of shares ofcommon stock up to the maximum will beearned as follows:

In addition to the active benefits, theCompany provides post-retirement medical,dental and life insurance coverage to its retireesin accordance with the legacy company plansunder which the eligible employees are covered.The Named Executive Officers are all coveredunder the legacy Pfizer plans. The Company’saggregate plan-wide post-retirement medicalcosts are capped at $12,000 per participant priorto age 65 and $3,000 per participant after age65.

Other Paid Time-Off Benefits

The Company also provides vacation andother paid holidays to all employees, includingthe Named Executive Officers, which arecomparable to those provided at other largecompanies.

Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan

The Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan (theRetirement Plan) is a funded, tax-qualified,noncontributory defined-benefit pension planthat covers certain employees, including theNamed Executive Officers. Benefits under theRetirement Plan are based upon the employee’syears of service and the employee’s highestaverage earnings for a five calendar-year periodwith us and/or our “Associate Companies,” andare payable after retirement in the form of anannuity or a lump sum. Compensation coveredby the Retirement Plan and its relatedsupplemental plan for the Named ExecutiveOfficers equals the amounts set forth in the2005 “Salary,” and “Bonus” columns of theSummary Compensation Table, as well asrestricted stock awards granted on or prior toApril 26, 2001 and any Performance-ContingentShare Awards granted for performance periodsbeginning before January 1, 2001. After thepayment of the awards for the five year periodending on December 31, 2004, no furtherPerformance-Contingent Share Awards areincluded in the determination of pensionsunder the Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan. The

amount of annual earnings that may beconsidered in calculating benefits under theRetirement Plan is limited by law. For 2006, theannual limitation is $220,000.

Benefits under our Retirement Plan arecalculated as an annuity equal to the greater of:

• 1.4 percent of the participant’s highestfinal average earnings multiplied byyears of service; or

• 1.75 percent of such earnings less 1.5percent of Primary Social Securitybenefits multiplied by years of service.

Years of service under these formulascannot exceed 35. Contributions to theRetirement Plan are made entirely by us andare paid into a trust fund from which thebenefits of participants will be paid.

The Retirement Plan currently limitspensions paid under the Plan to an annualmaximum of $175,000, payable at age 65 inaccordance with IRS requirements. We alsohave an unfunded supplemental plan thatprovides out of our general assets an amountsubstantially equal to the difference betweenthe amount that would have been payableunder the Retirement Plan, in the absence oflegislation limiting pension benefits andearnings that may be considered in calculatingpension benefits, and the amount actuallypayable under the Retirement Plan. In certaincircumstances, we fund trusts established tosecure obligations to make payments under thesupplemental plan.

Pension Plan Table

The following table shows, for the highestaverage compensation and years of serviceindicated, the annual pension benefit payablecommencing upon retirement at age 65 underthe present benefit formula of the RetirementPlan and its related supplemental plan. Theestimated retirement benefits have beencomputed on the assumptions that:

• payments will be made in the form of a50 percent joint and survivor annuity(and both the Retirement Plan memberand spouse are age 65);

• during the period of employment theemployee received annual compensationincreases of six percent; and

• the employee retired as of December 31,2005.

The actual amount of pension benefitsultimately paid to a Named Executive Officermay vary based on a number of factors,including differences from the assumptionsused to calculate the amounts.

Board Policy on Pension Benefits forExecutives

The Board will seek shareholder approvalprior to the payment to any senior executivefrom the Company’s defined benefit pensionplans if his or her benefit, computed as a singlelife annuity, will exceed 100% of the seniorexecutive’s final average salary, as calculated atthe discretion of the Company’s CompensationCommittee. This policy will apply prospectively,for all benefit accruals after January 1, 2006.

For purposes of this policy, “final averagesalary” means the average of the highest fivecalendar years’ earnings, where earningsincludes salary earned during the year andannual cash incentives (or bonus) earned forthe year.

Pfizer Savings Plan

Under the Pfizer Savings Plan (the SavingsPlan), a tax-qualified retirement savings plan,participating employees may contribute up to20 percent of compensation on a before-taxbasis and 15 percent of compensation on anafter-tax basis, into their Savings Plan accounts.Total combined before-tax and after-taxcontributions may not exceed 20 percent ofregular earnings.

Plan, we match an amount equal to one dollarfor each dollar contributed by participatingemployees on the first three percent of theirregular earnings and fifty cents for eachadditional dollar contributed on the next threepercent of their regular earnings. Our matchingcontributions generally are invested solely inour common stock. However, participants whoare age 40 or older may diversify varyingportions of their matching contributions.

Pursuant to IRS rules, effective for 2006,the Savings Plan limits the “additions” that canbe made to a participating employee’s accountto $44,000 per year. “Additions” include ourmatching contributions, before-taxcontributions made by us at the request of theparticipating employee under Section 401(k) ofthe Internal Revenue Code, and employeeafter-tax contributions.

Of those additions, the current maximumbefore-tax contribution is $15,000 per year (or$20,000 per year for certain participants age 50and over). In addition, no more than $220,000of annual compensation may be taken intoaccount in computing benefits under theSavings Plan.

We have a Supplemental Savings Plan topay out of general assets an amountsubstantially equal to the difference betweenthe amount that, in the absence of legislationlimiting such additions and the $220,000limitation on earnings, would have beenallocated to an employee’s account as before-tax contributions, our matching contributionsand the amount actually allocated under theSavings Plan.

In certain circumstances, we fund trustsestablished to secure obligations to makepayments under the Supplemental Plan.

Amounts deferred, if any, under the PfizerSavings Plan and the related Supplemental Planby the Named Executive Officers are includedin the “Salary” and “Bonus” columns of theSummary Compensation Table. Our matchingcontributions allocated to the Named ExecutiveOfficers under the Savings Plan and the relatedSupplemental Savings Plan are shown in the“All Other Compensation” column of theSummary Compensation Table.

Deferred Compensation

The Company also provides theopportunity to defer, as shares, Performance-Contingent Share Awards, as well asperformance shares under the 2006 ExecutiveLong-Term Incentive Program, that are earnedand otherwise would be paid under thoseprograms. Restricted stock units that wouldotherwise be paid to Named Executive Officersunder the 2006 Program will automatically bedeferred until retirement. Dividends are paidon deferred shares and reinvested. Annualincentives, as shown in the Bonus column ofthe Summary Compensation Table, may also bedeferred into a Pfizer unit fund or a fundearning interest at 120% of the Federal Long-Term rate. The rate for December, 2005 was5.61%, which is not considered an “abovemarket” interest rate by the SEC. These deferralopportunities are available to U.S. basedPerformance-Contingent Share Award Programparticipants, as well as to certain participants inother countries.

Perquisites

The Company provided certain perquisitesto senior management in 2005 as summarizedbelow.

Company Aircraft

With the approval of the Chairman andCEO, the Company’s aircraft were used in thefollowing situations:

• Upon the establishment of the ExecutiveCommittee of Pfizer, members of theExecutive Committee were allowed touse the aircraft for business purposes.The Executive Committee (“EC”) consistsof the Chairman and CEO and the threeVice-Chairmen;

• A spouse/partner was allowed toaccompany the EC member on theaircraft for Pfizer business purposes;

• Under our policies, approximately 20hours of personal use of each type ofaircraft (fixed wing and helicopter) aregenerally allowed for use by the ECmember and guests, flying on the sameflight. On rare occasions, non-employee

Page 73: 39174 Pfizer Proxy Statement...Pfizer Inc. Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Proxy Statement and 2005 Financial Report1 March 16, 2006 1The 2005 Financial Report is not included

67

Directors, when traveling on Pfizerbusiness, may be accompanied by familymembers.

For total compensation purposes, in 2005we valued the incremental cost of the personaluse of Company aircraft, using a method thattakes into account:

• landing/parking/flight planning servicesexpenses;

• crew travel expenses;

• supplies and catering;

• aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour offlight;

• aircraft accrual expenses per hour offlight;

• maintenance, parts & external labor(inspections and repairs) per hour offlight;

• any customs, foreign permit and similarfees; and

• passenger ground transportation.

For tax purposes, as a result of therecommendations contained in anindependent, third-party security study, theBoard of Directors passed a resolutionrequiring that Dr. McKinnell use Companyaircraft for personal travel. Under IRSregulations, if there is an independent, third-party security study, such personal use is valuedat two times the Standard Industry Fare Level(SIFL) rates, as published by the IRS. For taxpurposes, we valued Dr. McKinnell’s personaluse of Company aircraft at this multiple of theSIFL rate. For all other Named ExecutiveOfficers, personal use of an airplane was valuedat four times the SIFL rate and helicopter usewas valued at three times that rate. The SIFLrate is only used for calculating the taxableincome to the executive.

Car and Driver

For total compensation purposes, for allNamed Executive Officers, the incremental costof personal use of a Company car has beenvalued at the cost of the annual lease, aportion of the cost of the driver, and fuel. Thepolicy on the use of the cars for 2005 isoutlined below:

• cars and drivers were available to all ECmembers for business reasons;

• for security reasons, cars and driverswere available to the CEO for personaluse, and available to the three Vice-Chairmen for commutation;

• a spouse/partner of an EC member, ifunaccompanied by the EC member, wasallowed to use a Company-leased car forPfizer business purposes only.

For tax purposes, with respect to thepersonal use by the CEO and commutation forthe three Vice-Chairmen, the cost of the carsand fuel were imputed as income and grossedup for all taxes. As a result of therecommendations contained in anindependent, third-party security study, thecost of the drivers was not charged as incomefor tax purposes.

Other Perquisites

The Company provides a taxable allowanceof up to $10,000 to our executive officers forfinancial counseling services, which may includetax preparation and estate planning services.We value this benefit based on the actualcharge for the services.

The Company does not provide orreimburse for country club memberships forany officers. The Company maintains a limitednumber of memberships that may be used forbusiness purposes. Home security systems wereavailable to the EC members.

The following table summarizes theincremental value of perquisites for the NamedExecutive Officers in 2005.

Severance Agreements

We have entered into change-in-controlseverance agreements with most of our electedcorporate officers, including each of theNamed Executive Officers. The agreementscontinue through September 30 of each year,and provide that they are to be automaticallyextended in one-year increments unless wegive prior notice of termination.

These agreements are intended to providefor continuity of management in the event ofa change in control. The agreements providethat covered executive officers could beentitled to certain severance benefitsfollowing a change in control of the Company.If, following such a change in control, theexecutive officer is terminated for any reason,other than for disability or for cause, or if suchexecutive officer terminates his or heremployment for good reason (as defined inthe agreements), then the executive officer isentitled to a severance payment that will be2.99 times the greater of (i) the executiveofficer’s base amount, as defined in theagreements or (ii) the sum of the executiveofficer’s (a) base salary in effect at the time oftermination and (b) the higher of the (x) lastfull-year annual incentive payment or (y)target annual incentive payment for the yearin which termination occurs. The severancepayment generally would be made in the formof a lump sum.

In addition, in the event of such atermination following a change in control,under the agreements each covered electedofficer, other than the Named ExecutiveOfficers, would receive a payout of alloutstanding Performance-Contingent ShareAwards that had been granted prior to thedate of termination at the maximum amountsthat could have been earned pursuant to theawards, along with all shares earned butdeferred in accordance with the deferral

feature of the Pfizer Inc. 2004 Stock Plan, the2001 Performance-Contingent Share AwardPlan and its predecessor program. The NamedExecutive Officers would receive a payout of allPerformance Contingent Share Awards at thetarget amounts. The covered elected officeralso would receive a benefit payable from ourgeneral funds calculated using the benefitcalculation provisions of our RetirementAnnuity Plan and our unfunded SupplementalRetirement Plan with the following additionalfeatures:

• the executive officer would receivecredit for an additional three years ofservice and compensation for purposesof calculating such benefit;

• the benefit would commence at age 55(or upon the date of termination, if theexecutive officer is then over age 55)and for this purpose, three years wouldbe added to the executive officer’s age;

• such benefit would be furtherdetermined without any reduction onaccount of its receipt prior to age 65;and

• such benefit would be offset by anyamounts otherwise payable under ourRetirement Annuity Plan and unfundedSupplemental Retirement Plan.

The executive officer would also becomevested in all other benefits available to ourretirees. All restrictions on restricted stockawarded to such executive officer would lapseand all unvested options granted to suchexecutive officer would vest and becomeexercisable for the remainder of the term ofthe option.

If a change in control occurs, theagreements are effective for a period of fouryears from the end of the then existing term.Under the severance agreements, a change incontrol would include any of the followingevents:

• any “person,” as defined in theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, asamended, acquires 20 percent or moreof our voting securities;

• a majority of our Directors are replacedin certain circumstances during a two-year period; or

• shareholders approve certain mergers, ora liquidation or sale of our assets.

In the event that any payments made inconnection with a change in control would besubjected to the excise tax imposed by Section4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will“gross up”, on an after-tax basis, the executiveofficer’s compensation for all federal, state andlocal income and excise taxes and any penaltiesand interest.

In certain circumstances, we fund trustsestablished to secure our obligations to makepayments under the severance agreements inadvance of the time payment is due.

Under the individual severanceagreements with the Named Executive Officers

that address their termination of employmentfollowing a change in control of the Company,each Named Executive Officer would beentitled to receive the following estimatedbenefits. These disclosed amounts are estimatesonly and do not necessarily reflect the actualamounts that would be paid to the NamedExecutive Officers, which would only be knownat the time that they become eligible forpayment and would only be payable if achange in control were to occur. The Tablereflects the amount that could be payableunder the various arrangements assuming thatthe change of control occurred at December31, 2005, including a gross-up for certain taxesin the event that any payments made inconnection with a change in control would besubject to the excise tax imposed by Section4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Performance Graphs

The ten and five year performance graphs below compare our total shareholder returns(assuming reinvestment of dividends) with the Standard and Poor’s Composite Stock Index (S&P 500)and those of the peer groups described below.

The graphs assume $100 invested at the per-share closing price of the common stock on theNew York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on each of December 31, 1995 and December 31, 2000,respectively, in Pfizer and each of the indices. We believe that Pfizer’s performance is best comparedwith peer organizations over a ten-year period, in so far as the development and clinical trial processfor new medicines, plus the time it takes a new medicine to be widely accepted by formularies in theUnited States, is roughly ten years.

(1) For 2005, Pfizer’s pharmaceutical peer group consisted of the following companies: Abbott Laboratories, Amgen,AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Eli Lilly and Company, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck andCo., Schering-Plough Corporation and Wyeth (New Peer Group). Prior to that, Pfizer’s pharmaceutical peer group wascomprised of Abbott Laboratories, Baxter International, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Colgate-Palmolive Company, EliLilly and Company, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Co., Schering-Plough Corporation, and Wyeth (Old Peer Group).We believe that the companies included in the New Peer Group are more reflective of the Company’s core business,and therefore will provide a more meaningful comparison of stock performance. We have included the New PeerGroup in the graph to show what the comparison to those companies would have been if the New Peer Group hadbeen in place during the periods shown in the two graphs.Pfizer merged with Warner-Lambert Company in 2000. Warner-Lambert Company was included as part of our PeerGroup in our Proxy Statement for 1999.Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. merged with Monsanto Company to form Pharmacia Corporation in 2000. PharmaciaCorporation completed the spin-off of the Monsanto Company in August 2002. Pfizer merged with PharmaciaCorporation in 2003.

The reload obligations will be satisfied under this plan from the remaining16,609,672 shares available. In addition, under the other assumed Pharmacia plans, as of December 31,2005, there were 81,147,958 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, and thoseoptions had a weighted average exercise price per share of $30.55. Information regarding these variousoptions is not included in the above table.

On June 19, 2000, Pfizer acquired Warner-Lambert Company and assumed stock optionsoutstanding under various Warner-Lambert plans pursuant to which no subsequent awards have beenor will be made. As of December 31, 2005, there were 27,592,635 shares issuable upon the exercise ofstock options under these plans, and those options had a weighted average exercise price per share of$22.90. In addition, 460,082 shares were issuable pursuant to the Warner-Lambert 1996 Stock Plan insettlement of Warner-Lambert Directors’ compensation that had been deferred by certain formerWarner-Lambert Directors prior to Pfizer’s acquisition of Warner-Lambert.

Performance-Contingent Share Award Program, but not yet earned as of December 31, 2005. The number of shares,if any, to be issued pursuant to such outstanding awards will be determined by a non-discretionary formula that measures ourperformance, in terms of total shareholder return and diluted earnings-per-share growth, over the applicable performanceperiod relative to the performance of the pharmaceutical peer group. Since these awards have no exercise price, they are notincluded in the weighted average exercise price calculation in column (b).

The Pfizer Inc. 2004 Stock Plan

Under the Pfizer Inc. 2004 Stock Plan, ouremployees may be granted stock options, stockawards (including restricted stock), stockappreciation rights, performance-contingentawards and other equity-based awards. The2004 Stock Plan also provides the flexibility togrant equity-based awards to our non-employee Directors.

Where an employee also is an electedcorporate officer, the performance criteria forawards granted under the Plan are determinedby the Compensation Committee. Anyexecutive performance award is expected toinclude total shareholder return as aperformance measure and also could includeother measures such as: revenues, costreductions, operating income, income beforetaxes, net income, adjusted net income,earnings per share, adjusted earnings pershare, operating margins, working capitalmeasures, return on assets, return on equity,return on invested capital, cash flow measures,market share, and/or economic value added, ofthe Company, or the affiliate or division of theCompany for or within which the participant isprimarily employed.

Performance goals may be based on theachievement of specified levels of Companyperformance (or performance of the applicableaffiliate or division of the Company) under oneor more of the measures described above,relative to the performance of othercorporations or comparable businesses. Theperformance goals will be set by theCommittee within the time period prescribedby, and will otherwise comply with, therequirements of Section 162(m) of the InternalRevenue Code.

The material terms of the stock optionsgranted in 2005 under this Plan generally are asfollows:

• options vest after three or more yearsfrom the grant date;

• options carry a three month exerciseperiod, for vested options, aftertermination; and

• options can be exercised for up to thefull term of the grant if the recipient hasheld the option for more than one yearfrom the grant date and is age 55 with10 years of service upon termination.

This Plan was approved by ourshareholders at our 2004 Annual Meeting andreplaced the 2001 Stock and Incentive Plan andthe 2001 Performance-Contingent Share AwardPlan (the “2001 Plans”).

2001 Stock and Incentive Plan

Under the 2001 Stock and Incentive Plan,our employees were granted stock options,stock awards (including restricted stock awards)and Performance-based stock awards, as aresult of either a general grant or an awardbased on having met certain performancecriteria. Where an employee was an electedcorporate officer, the performance criteriawere determined by the CompensationCommittee. Our non-employee Directors werenot eligible to participate in this Plan.

Options granted prior to April 22, 2004,were granted under the 2001 Plan. The 2001 Plan was replaced by the Pfizer Inc. 2004 StockPlan, as described above, and no furtheroptions or awards will be granted under the2001 Plan. However, outstanding awards andoptions granted under the 2001 Plan, or underour previous Stock and Incentive Plan, willcontinue to vest, and the options may beexercised, in the future.

2001 Performance-Contingent Share Award Plan

Under the 2001 Performance-ContingentShare Award Plan, participating employeeswere granted an opportunity by theCompensation Committee to earn shares ofPfizer common stock, subject to attainingcertain performance criteria. The performanceformula was nondiscretionary and wascomprised of two performance criteria:

• total shareholder return (includingreinvestment of dividends); and

• growth in diluted earnings per share;

measured over the applicable performanceperiod relative to the performance of the OldPeer Group. Our 100 highest-ranking

employees were eligible to participate. Allawards granted under the Plan were basedupon a five-year performance period.

Awards granted under our previousperformance-contingent share award programwere based on the same performance criteriadescribed above.

Awards for performance periodsbeginning in 2005, as shown in the table underthe heading “Long-Term Incentive Plan Awardsin 2005” were granted under the 2004 StockPlan, generally with the same criteria as underthe previous plan. After the 2004 awards weregranted, the 2001 Performance-ContingentShare Award Plan was replaced by the 2004Pfizer Inc. Stock Plan, as described above, andno further awards will be granted under the2001 Plan. However, outstanding awardsgranted under the 2001 Plan, or under ourprevious performance-contingent share awardprogram, will continue to vest in the future.

Awards earned by the Named ExecutiveOfficers under the 2001 Performance-Contingent Share Award Plan and the previousaward program for the performance periodended December 31, 2005, are shown in the“LTIP Payouts” column of the SummaryCompensation Table. Receipt of sharesawarded under the current and previous Plansmay be deferred.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan

The Named Executive Officers and othersenior employees participate in the ExecutiveAnnual Incentive Plan. The Plan is intended toensure the tax deductibility of the executive’sbonus for the Company. The maximumindividual annual bonus under this plan is 0.3%(three tenths of one percent) of Adjusted NetIncome. The Annual Incentive Plan defines“Adjusted Net Income” to mean income beforecumulative effect of accounting changes asshown on the audited Consolidated Statementof Income of the Company. If income beforethe cumulative effect of accounting changes isnot shown on the Statement, then AdjustedNet Income will mean net income as shown onthe Statement. Receipt of bonuses paid fromthis Plan can be deferred by the executivesuntil a later date or retirement. Such deferredbonuses may be invested under the Pfizer Inc.Deferred Compensation Plan in either a Pfizerunit fund (shares plus reinvested dividends) ora fund earning 120% of the federal long-termrate. As of December 31, 2005, this rate was5.61%.

Warner-Lambert Company 1996 Stock Plan

Under the Warner-Lambert 1996 StockPlan, as a result of our merger with Warner-Lambert, all stock options and restricted stockawards outstanding as of June 19, 2000,became immediately exercisable or vested.

Under this Plan, the Directors of Warner-Lambert could elect to defer any or all of thecompensation they received for their services.These deferred amounts could have beencredited to a Warner-Lambert Common StockEquivalent Account (the Equivalent Account).That Equivalent Account was credited, as of theday the fees would have been payable, withstock credits equal to the number of shares ofWarner-Lambert common stock that couldhave been purchased with the dollar amountof such deferred fees. The former Warner-Lambert Directors—Messrs. Burt, Gray, Howell,and Lorch—who joined our Board after themerger, had deferred compensation and wereentitled to Warner-Lambert stock credits in theEquivalent Account under this Plan. Dividendsreceived under this Plan are reinvested. Uponthe closing of the merger, these Warner-Lambert stock credits were converted intoPfizer stock equivalent units. These units will bepayable in Pfizer common stock at varioustimes in accordance with the Director’selection. These units are described in footnote1 to the table entitled “Securities Ownership ofOfficers and Directors.”

Indemnification

We indemnify our Directors and most ofour elected officers to the fullest extentpermitted by law so that they will be free fromundue concern about personal liability inconnection with their service to the Company.This is required under our By-laws, and we havealso entered into agreements with certain ofthose individuals contractually obligating us toprovide this indemnification to them.
