Offer by Banner Acquisition, Inc.
to Exchange Each Outstanding Share of Common Stock
of
Inamed Corporation
for
$84.00 in Cash
or
0.8498 of a Share of Common Stock of Allergan, Inc.
subject in each case, to the proration and election
procedures
described in this prospectus and the related letter of
election and transmittal
THE OFFER AND THE WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M.,
NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 2006, UNLESS
EXTENDED. SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN
AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.
Banner Acquisition, Inc. (Offeror), a newly formed,
wholly owned subsidiary of Allergan, Inc.
(Allergan), is offering to exchange for each
outstanding share of common stock of Inamed Corporation
(Inamed), par value $0.01 per share, including
the associated preferred stock purchase rights (the Inamed
Shares), validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in
the offer, at the election of the holder of such Inamed Share:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 in cash, without
interest, or
|
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of Allergan
common stock (including the associated preferred stock purchase
rights),
|
subject in each case to the proration and election procedures
described in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of
election and transmittal (which together, as each may be
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
constitute the Offer). In the Offer, 45% of the
aggregate Inamed Shares tendered will be exchanged for cash and
55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares tendered will be exchanged
for shares of Allergan common stock. Therefore, elections will
be subject to proration if holders of Inamed Shares, in the
aggregate, elect to receive more than the maximum amount of
consideration to be paid in the form of cash or Allergan common
stock, as the case may be. See The Offer
Elections and Proration for a detailed description of the
proration procedure. In addition, instead of receiving any
fractional shares of Allergan common stock to which Inamed
stockholders otherwise would be entitled, tendering Inamed
stockholders will receive an amount in cash (without interest)
equal to such holders respective proportionate interest in
the proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the
exchange agent for the Offer, on behalf of all such holders, of
the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan common stock issued
pursuant to the Offer.
The purpose of the Offer is for Allergan to acquire control of,
and ultimately the entire equity interest in, Inamed. The Offer
is the first step in Allergans plan to acquire all of the
outstanding Inamed Shares. Allergan intends promptly after
completion of the Offer to seek to consummate a merger of
Offeror with and into Inamed, with Inamed surviving the Merger
(this merger is referred to herein as the Inamed
Merger, and Inamed after the Inamed Merger is sometimes
referred to as the Surviving Corporation). The
purpose of the Inamed Merger is for Allergan to acquire all
Inamed Shares not acquired in the Offer. After the Inamed
Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of Allergan and the former Inamed stockholders will
no longer have any ownership interest in the Surviving
Corporation. As promptly as practicable following the Inamed
Merger, Allergan will cause the Surviving Corporation to merge
with and into a limited liability company wholly owned by
Allergan, with the limited liability company surviving the
merger (we refer to this second merger as the Post-Closing
Merger).
On November 14, 2005, the last full trading day before the
public announcement of Allergans proposal to acquire
Inamed, the closing sales price of an Inamed Share was $74.44.
The Offer had a value of $84.00 on November 15, 2005, the
date the Offer was announced, which represented a premium of
$9.56 per Inamed Share, or approximately 13%, over the
value of an Inamed Share, immediately prior to the public
announcement of the Offer. As of December 21, 2005, the
most recent practicable date prior to the date of this
prospectus, the Offer had a value of $87.95 per Inamed
Share (assuming full proration), which represents a premium of
$13.51 per Inamed Share, or approximately 18%, over the
closing sales price of an Inamed Share immediately prior to the
public announcement of the Offer. In addition, as of
December 21, 2005, the value of the Offer represented a
premium of $21.71 per Inamed Share, or approximately 33%,
over the $66.24 closing sales price of an Inamed Share on
March 18, 2005, the last full trading day prior to the
March 21, 2005 public announcement of the proposed business
combination of Inamed and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation,
which subsequently was terminated on December 13, 2005. The
market prices of shares of Allergan common stock and Inamed
Shares will fluctuate prior to the expiration date of the Offer
and thereafter, and may be higher or lower at the expiration
date than the prices set forth above. As any premium represented
by the Offer is based on fluctuating market prices, the premiums
described above will similarly change.
Offerors obligation to exchange Inamed Shares for cash and
shares of Allergan common stock in the Offer is subject to a
number of conditions, which are more fully described in
The Offer Conditions of the Offer.
Allergans common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol AGN. Inamed Shares trade
on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol IMDC.
For a discussion of certain factors that Inamed
stockholders should consider in connection with the Offer,
please carefully read Risk Factors beginning on
page 11.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these
securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this

iii
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made by Allergan and Offeror in this prospectus and
in other reports and statements released by Allergan or Offeror
that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are
necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of senior
management of Allergan and Offeror and include comments that
express Allergans opinions about trends and factors that
may impact its future operating results. The use of future tense
and words such as believe, anticipate,
estimate, intend, could,
plan, expect and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many
of which are outside of Allergans control, and involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include those
described in Risk Factors beginning on Page 11
of this prospectus.
Inamed stockholders are cautioned that, while forward-looking
statements reflect the good faith belief and best judgment of
Allergan and Offeror based upon current information, they are
not guarantees of future performance. All forward-looking
statements, made in or incorporated by reference into this
prospectus or elsewhere, should be considered in context with
the risk factors discussed or incorporated by reference into
this prospectus and the various disclosures made by Allergan
about its businesses, and by Inamed about its business, in their
various public reports incorporated herein by reference.

SUMMARY
This section summarizes material information presented in
greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. However, this
summary does not contain all of the information that may be
important to Inamed stockholders. Important information is
contained elsewhere in this prospectus and the other documents
to which this prospectus refers, all of which should be
carefully reviewed by Inamed stockholders. See Where To
Obtain More Information.
As used in this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the
context requires, Allergan refers to Allergan, Inc.
and its consolidated subsidiaries, Offeror refers to
Banner Acquisition, Inc., and Inamed refers to
Inamed Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Offer to Exchange (Page 59)
Under the terms of the Offer, each Inamed stockholder may elect
to receive, for each Inamed Share validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn, either:
|
|
|
$84.00 in cash, without interest;
or
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of newly issued
Allergan common stock (including associated preferred stock
purchase rights),
|
in each case, subject to the proration and election procedures
described in this prospectus and the related letter of election
and transmittal.
In the Offer, 45% of the aggregate Inamed Shares tendered will
be exchanged for cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares
tendered will be exchanged for shares of Allergan common stock.
Therefore, elections will be subject to proration if tendering
holders of Inamed Shares, in the aggregate, elect to receive
more than the maximum amount of consideration to be paid in cash
or Allergan common stock pursuant to the Offer. The ratio of
0.8498 of an Allergan share for each Inamed Share was determined
by dividing $84.00 by the closing price of an Allergan share on
the New York Stock Exchange on November 14, 2005, the last
trading day before Allergan announced its proposal to acquire
Inamed.
Potential Value of Offer Consideration
Based on the closing price of Allergan common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange on December 21, 2005, the most recent
practicable date prior to the date of this prospectus, 0.8498 of
an Allergan share had a value of $91.19 per share. The
value of 0.8498 of an Allergan share will fluctuate prior to the
expiration date of the Offer as the market price of Allergan
common stock changes. At Allergan share prices of $98.85 and
above, the value of 0.8498 of an Allergan share will exceed the
cash offer of $84.00 per Inamed Share, and at Allergan
share prices below $98.85, the cash offer will exceed the value
of 0.8498 of an Allergan share.
1
Solely for purposes of illustration, the following table
reflects the per share amount of cash and the market value of
the Allergan common stock that an Inamed stockholder would
receive for each Inamed Share tendered pursuant to the Offer if
exactly 55% of the Inamed Shares tendered by the stockholder
were exchanged for Allergan common stock and 45% of such shares
were exchanged for cash. This would be the case, for example, if
all tendering Inamed stockholders made the same election for
either cash or Allergan shares. In that circumstance, each
Inamed Share would be exchanged, on average, for $37.80 in cash
(i.e. 45% of $84.00) and 0.46739 shares
(i.e. 55% of 0.8498) of Allergan common stock. The
table indicates the relative value, in that circumstance, of the
two forms of consideration at different market values for the
Allergan shares.

The market prices of Allergan common stock used in the above
table, and the assumptions regarding the mix of cash and/or
stock a hypothetical Inamed stockholder would receive are for
purposes of illustration only. The price of Allergan common
stock fluctuates and may be higher or lower than in these
examples at the time the Offer is completed. In addition, due to
the proration mechanisms in the Offer, the elections of other
Inamed stockholders will impact whether a tendering Inamed
stockholder receives the type of consideration elected, or is
prorated so that a portion of such stockholders tendered
shares are exchanged for another form of consideration.
Inamed stockholders should consider the potential effects of
proration and should obtain current market quotations for shares
of Allergan common stock and Inamed Shares before deciding
whether to tender pursuant to the Offer and before electing the
form of Offer consideration they wish to receive. The market
price of shares of Allergan common stock will fluctuate prior to
the expiration date of the Offer and thereafter, and may be
different at the expiration date and at the time tendering
Inamed stockholders receive cash or shares of Allergan common
stock.
Proration Procedures
If Inamed stockholders elect to receive more than the aggregate
amount of cash or shares of Allergan common stock offered,
Allergan will prorate the total cash or stock, as the case may
be, proportionally among the stockholders who elect that form of
consideration. Inamed stockholders who do not make an election
will be allocated whatever form of consideration is remaining
(or a proportionate share of each form of consideration if
neither is oversubscribed), after taking into account the
preferences of the tendering stockholders who make elections. If
neither form of consideration is oversubscribed, Inamed
stockholders who do not make an election will receive cash and
Allergan common stock in a proportion such that 45% of the
aggregate Inamed Shares tendered in the Offer will be exchanged
for cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares tendered in the
Offer will be exchanged for shares of Allergan common stock. The
procedures for prorating cash and common stock are described in
The Offer Elections and Proration.
Treatment of Fractional Shares
Inamed stockholders will not receive any fractional shares of
Allergan common stock in the Offer. Instead of receiving any
fractional shares of Allergan common stock to which Inamed
stockholders otherwise would be entitled, tendering Inamed
stockholders will receive an amount in cash (without interest)
equal to such holders respective proportionate interest in
the proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the
2
exchange agent for the Offer, on behalf of all such holders, of
the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan common stock issued
pursuant to the Offer, as described in The Offer
Cash Instead of Fractional Shares of Allergan Common Stock.
The Inamed Merger (Page 73)
Allergan intends, promptly after the completion of the Offer, to
seek to have Offeror merge into Inamed, with Inamed surviving
the merger. After the Inamed Merger, Inamed will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allergan and the former Inamed stockholders
will not have any equity ownership interest in Inamed as the
surviving corporation. In the Inamed Merger, each Inamed Share
(except for Inamed Shares held in Inameds treasury and
Inamed Shares beneficially owned directly or indirectly by
Allergan or Offeror, including Inamed Shares acquired in the
Offer) will be converted into the right to receive cash or
shares of Allergan common stock, subject to appraisal rights
under Delaware law, as more fully described under The
Offer Purpose of the Offer; the Inamed Merger; Appraisal
Rights.
In the Inamed Merger, Inamed stockholders will have the
opportunity to elect to receive for each Inamed Share cancelled
in the Inamed Merger, $84.00 in cash or 0.8498 of a share of
Allergan common stock. This is the same consideration as is
available in the Offer, and such consideration will be subject
to proration, such that in the aggregate 45% of the aggregate
Inamed Shares cancelled in the Inamed Merger will be converted
to cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares cancelled in the
Inamed Merger will be converted into shares of Allergan common
stock, subject to any adjustments necessary to preserve the
status of the Offer, the Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing
Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
The Post-Closing Merger (Page 74)
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Inamed Merger,
Allergan intends to cause the Surviving Corporation to merge
with and into a wholly owned limited liability company
subsidiary of Allergan. Immediately before the Post-Closing
Merger, Allergan will be the sole stockholder of the Surviving
Corporation, and none of the former Inamed stockholders will
have any economic interest in, or approval or other rights with
respect to, the Post-Closing Merger.

Reasons for the Offer (Page 35)
Offeror is making the Offer and Allergan plans to complete the

prospects for the combined company and increase stockholder
value, including for those Inamed stockholders who receive
shares of Allergan common stock in the Offer or the Inamed
Merger. Allergan believes that the Offer and the Inamed Merger
will increase its market presence and opportunities, enhance its
product mix, increase operating efficiencies, combine
significant management talent and enhance employee opportunities.
Background of the Offer (Page 36)
On March 20, 2005, Inamed, Medicis and Masterpiece
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicis, entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Inamed
would merge into Masterpiece Acquisition Corp. (the
Medicis Merger). On December 13, 2005, Medicis
and Inamed announced that the Medicis merger agreement had been
mutually terminated. Under the terms of the now terminated
Medicis merger agreement, each Inamed Share would have been
cancelled in exchange for $30.00 in cash and 1.4205 shares of
Medicis Class A common stock.
Allergan Proposal
On November 14, 2005, Allergan submitted a letter to Inamed
with a proposal to acquire Inamed, for a per Inamed Share
consideration of $84.00 in cash or 0.8498 of a share of Allergan
common stock, at the election of the holder. In the letter,
Allergan advised Inamed that Allergan and its advisors were
prepared to immediately proceed with due diligence and
negotiation of a definitive agreement with respect to the Offer
and the Inamed Merger, consistent with the terms and conditions
described herein and otherwise containing representations and
warranties, covenants, conditions, terms and conditions
substantially similar to those in the Medicis merger agreement.
The text of this letter is included in Background of the
Offer.
In accordance with the terms of the Medicis merger agreement,
Inameds board of directors determined in good faith after
consultation with its legal and financial advisors that
Allergans proposal was reasonably likely to result in a
transaction with terms more favorable to Inameds
stockholders than the transaction
4
contemplated by the Medicis merger agreement. Therefore,
Allergan and Inamed entered into a confidentiality agreement, as
required by the terms of the Medicis merger agreement, and began
discussions and negotiations regarding the terms of a definitive
merger agreement.
On December 6, 2005, Allergan executed and delivered to
Inamed an irrevocable offer letter accompanied by an executed
definitive agreement and plan of merger (the Allergan
Merger Agreement) for the proposed business combination
transaction involving Allergan, Offeror and Inamed. The offer
letter provided that Inamed could accept the offer set forth in
the offer letter at any time after the Medicis merger agreement
was terminated and after receipt of notice from Allergan that
the conditions to the irrevocable offer set forth in the offer
letter had been met. The text of the irrevocable offer letter is
included in Background to the Offer.
After receipt of the irrevocable offer letter and Allergan
Merger Agreement, Inamed issued a press release on
December 6, 2005, announcing that its board of directors
has determined that the Allergan Merger Agreement and the offer
set forth therein are fair to Inameds stockholders and
constitute a Company Superior Proposal (as such term
was defined in the Medicis merger agreement) when compared to
the Medicis merger agreement.
A letter confirming that the conditions to Inameds
execution of the definitive Allergan Merger Agreement was sent
by Allergan to Inamed on December 20, 2005, shortly before
the parties executed the Allergan Merger Agreement.
See Background of the Offer.
Termination of the Medicis Merger Agreement
As noted above, on December 13, 2005, Inamed and Medicis
each announced the termination of the Medicis merger agreement
pursuant to a Merger Termination Agreement providing that the
Medicis merger agreement would be terminated effective upon the
execution of the Merger Termination Agreement and Medicis
receipt from Inamed of a termination fee of $90,000,000 and
reimbursement of $481,985 with respect to certain Medicis
expenses. The Merger Termination Agreement also provides for a
mutual release of certain claims in connection with the
termination of the Medicis merger agreement.
According to public filings made by Inamed and Medicis with the
SEC on December 13, 2005, the termination fee and expense
reimbursement payments were paid in full by Inamed on
December 13, 2005 and the Medicis merger agreement was
terminated in its entirety at such time. In connection with such
termination, Inamed announced the cancellation of the special
meeting of Inamed stockholders scheduled for December 19,
2005.
Recommendation of the Inamed Board
On December 13, 2005, Inamed filed an amendment to its
Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
initially filed with the SEC on December 5, 2005 and
subsequently amended. That amendment disclosed that on
December 13, 2005 Inameds board of directors
determined that the terms of the exchange offer set forth in the
Allergan Merger Agreement and the Allergan Merger Agreement are
advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Inamed
stockholders, and resolved to recommend that the Inamed
stockholders tender their Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer
upon Inameds execution of the Allergan Merger Agreement
and the amendment of the Offer to conform to the terms of the
exchange offer set forth in the Allergan Merger Agreement.
At meetings held on December 13 and 14, 2005, Inameds
board of directors:
|
|
|
formally and unanimously approved and adopted the terms of the
Allergan Merger Agreement; |
|
|
approved the exchange offer and the mergers contemplated by the
Allergan Merger Agreement such that Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law would not apply to such transactions; |
|
|
approved the amendment of Inameds stockholder rights
agreement to provide that the execution of the Allergan Merger
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Allergan Merger Agreement would not trigger the rights
plan; and |
5
|
|
|
resolved to recommend that Inamed Stockholders tender their
shares pursuant to the offer contemplated by the Allergan Merger
Agreement. |
Antitrust Filings
On December 15, 2005, Allergan received a request for
additional information and documentary material, referred to as
a second request, from the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC), pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act, as amended (the HSR Act), in
connection with the Offer and the Inamed Merger. The second
request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until
thirty days after Allergan has substantially complied with such
request. Allergan has been working with the FTC staff concerning
the divestiture of
Reloxin®
and had anticipated the issuance of the second request as part
of that process. Allergan does not expect the second request to
result in a material delay in consummation of the transaction.
The FTC may also allow Allergan to close the transaction before
the expiration of the waiting period in the event that Allergan
and the FTC agree on the terms of a consent order providing for
the divestiture of Reloxin. If a divestiture plan can be
developed that is acceptable to the FTC, the FTC will terminate
its second request and will allow the transaction to close
pursuant to the terms of a consent order. Allergan is currently
working with the FTC staff to negotiate the terms of a
divestiture plan and consent order that are acceptable to the
FTC. While there can be no assurance of the outcome of these
negotiations, Allergan does not anticipate that this process
will result in any material delay in closing.
On December 20, 2005, Inamed and Ipsen entered into a
termination agreement pursuant to which, subject to the
consummation of Allergans acquisition of Inamed and
certain other conditions, all rights related to Ipsens
Botulinum Toxin type A pharmaceutical product previously granted
by Ipsen to Inamed would be returned to Ipsen, and all worldwide
rights in the
Reloxin®
trademark would be assigned to Ipsen. Under the terms and
subject to the conditions of that agreement, the return of the
rights to the Botulinum Toxin type A pharmaceutical product to
Ipsen, and the assignment of the worldwide rights in the
Reloxin®
trademark to Ipsen would be made in consideration for payment by
Ipsen of ten million US dollars to Inamed.
Listing Application
On December 19, 2005, Allergan submitted an application to
list the shares of Allergan common stock to be issued pursuant
to the Offer and the Inamed Merger on the NYSE. The
authorization of the listing of such additional shares of
Allergan common stock on the NYSE, subject to official notice of
issuance, is a condition to the Offer, as described in The
OfferConditions of the Offer.
Execution of the Allergan Merger Agreement
On December 20, 2005, Allergan provided written notice to
Inamed pursuant to the irrevocable offer letter that Allergan
was satisfied with its limited due diligence review of the
Juvederm®
information provided by Inamed and is satisfied with the Inamed
disclosure schedules to the Allergan Merger Agreement.
Subsequent to receiving such written notice, Inamed executed and
delivered the Allergan Merger Agreement to Allergan.
Amendment of the Offer Terms
On December 20, 2005, Allergan amended the terms and
conditions of the Offer to conform to the terms specified in the
Allergan Merger Agreement and recommended by Inamed to its
stockholders, as described above.
Plans for Inamed (Page 74)
Allergan has caused Offeror to make the Offer in order to
acquire control of, and ultimately the entire equity interest
in, Inamed. The Offer is the first step in Allergans
acquisition of Inamed and is intended to facilitate
Allergans acquisition of all of the outstanding equity
ownership of Inamed. Allergan intends to seek to consummate the
Inamed Merger and Post-Closing Merger as soon as possible after
completing the Offer, in order to acquire all Inamed Shares not
exchanged pursuant to the Offer.
After the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger, Allergan
expects to continue Inameds current operations, except
that Allergan expects that Inameds license to the
Reloxin products will be divested for all markets. As
noted above, on December 20, 2005, Inamed and Ipsen entered
into a termination agreement
6
pursuant to which, subject to the consummation of
Allergans acquisition of Inamed and certain other
conditions, all rights related to Ipsens Botulinum Toxin
type A pharmaceutical product previously granted by Ipsen to
Inamed would be returned to Ipsen, and all worldwide rights in
the
Reloxin®
trademark would be assigned to Ipsen. In connection with the
divestiture, Allergan will cooperate fully with any third-party
acquiring Inameds rights in the Reloxin products,
to ensure such third-party is able to benefit from all of
Inameds information, studies, reports, and the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filings
and communications associated with the Reloxin products
for such subsequent licensee to obtain regulatory approval for
Reloxin. Inameds interest in the Reloxin
license and the associated assets are referred to in this
prospectus as the Reloxin Assets. See
The Offer Plans for Inamed.
The Offer is Scheduled to Expire on January 9, 2006
(Page 62)
The Offer currently is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Monday, January 9, 2006. The term
expiration date as used in this prospectus means
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, January 9,
2006, unless Offeror extends the period of time for which the
Offer is open, in which case the term expiration
date means the latest time and date on which the Offer, as
so extended, expires.
The Offer is Subject to Conditions (Page 63)
Offerors obligation to exchange Inamed Shares for cash or
shares of Allergans common stock pursuant to the Offer is
subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited
to, the following:
|
|
|
the representations and warranties
of Inamed contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement shall be
true and correct, except where the failure of such
representations and warranties to be true and correct (without
giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or
Company Material Adverse Effect set forth therein)
would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Company
Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Allergan Merger
Agreement);
|
|
|
Inamed shall have performed in all
material respects all of its obligations required to be
performed by it under the Allergan Merger Agreement at or prior
to the time Offeror accepts for exchange Inamed Shares validly
tendered pursuant to the Offer;
|
|
|
there shall have been validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date
at least a majority of the outstanding Inamed Shares (on a fully
diluted basis); and
|
|
|
any applicable waiting periods
under the HSR Act, and any other applicable similar foreign laws
or regulations, will have expired or been terminated.
|
No tender of Inamed Shares shall be effective, and Offeror shall
not acquire tendered Inamed Shares, until all conditions have
been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived. These
conditions and the other conditions to the Offer are discussed
under The Offer Conditions of the Offer.
The Offer May Be Extended, Terminated or Amended
(Page 62)
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror must extend the
period of time during which the Offer remains open in increments
of no more than 10 business days each, if at the scheduled
expiration date any of the conditions of the Offer have not been
satisfied or waived, and Offeror also must extend the Offer for
any period required by the SEC applicable to the Offer. The
Allergan Merger Agreement provides that the agreement may be
terminated if the Offer has not been consummated on or before
February 28, 2006, subject to extension until
March 30, 2006, under certain conditions. Offeror can
extend the Offer by giving oral or written notice of the
extension to the exchange agent. During any extension, all
Inamed Shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn
will remain subject to the Offer, subject to the right of each
Inamed stockholder to withdraw previously tendered Inamed Shares.
Subject to applicable SEC rules and regulations, Offeror also
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time or from
time to time:
|
|
|
to extend the Offer one time only
for up to five business days if less than 90% of the total
Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis have been validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn at the otherwise scheduled
expiration date; or
|
7
|
|
|
to waive any condition identified
as subject to waiver in The OfferConditions of the
Offer;
|
by giving oral or written notice of such termination, waiver or
amendment to the exchange agent.
Offeror will make a public announcement promptly after any
extension, delay, termination, waiver or amendment. In the case
of an extension, any related announcement will be issued no
later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first
business day following the previously scheduled expiration date.
Subject to applicable law (including
Rules 14d-4(c) and
14d-6(d) under the
Exchange Act, which require that any material change in the
information published, sent or given to Inamed stockholders in
connection with the Offer be promptly sent in a manner
reasonably designed to inform them of that change), and without
limiting the manner in which Offeror may choose to make any
public announcement, Offeror assumes no obligation to publish,
advertise or otherwise communicate any public announcement of
this type other than by issuing a press release to the Dow Jones
News Service.
No subsequent offering period will be available following the
expiration of the Offer.
Tendered Inamed Shares May Be Withdrawn at Any Time Prior to
the Expiration Date (Page 66)
Tendered Inamed Shares may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
expiration date, and, unless previously accepted pursuant to the
Offer, may be withdrawn at any time after January 20, 2006.
Once Offeror accepts Inamed Shares for exchange pursuant to the
Offer, all tenders not previously withdrawn become irrevocable.
Procedure for Tendering Inamed Shares (Page 67)
To validly tender Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer, Inamed
stockholders must:
|
|
|
deliver a properly completed and
duly executed letter of election and transmittal, along with any
required signature guarantees and any other required documents,
and certificates for tendered Inamed Shares to the exchange
agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of
this prospectus, all of which must be received by the exchange
agent at one of those addresses prior to the expiration
date; or
|
|
|
deliver an agents message in
connection with a book-entry transfer, and any other required
documents, to the exchange agent at one of its addresses set
forth on the back cover of this prospectus, and Inamed Shares
must be tendered pursuant to the procedures for book entry
tender set forth herein (and a confirmation of receipt of that
tender received), and in each case be received by the exchange
agent prior to the expiration date; or
|
|
|
stockholders must comply with the
guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in The
Offer Guaranteed Delivery.
|
Inamed stockholders who hold Inamed Shares in street
name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, and
desire to tender their Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer,
should instruct the nominee holder to do so prior to the
expiration date.
The Exchange Shall Occur Promptly After the Expiration Date
(Page 65)
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and
conditions of any extension or amendment), promptly after the
expiration date, Offeror will accept for exchange, and will
exchange, all Inamed Shares validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn prior to the expiration date.
Election and Proration Procedures (Page 60)
Inamed stockholders may elect to receive cash or shares of
Allergan common stock, subject to the elections and proration
procedure described in this prospectus, by indicating their
tender offer elections in the applicable section of the letter
of election and transmittal. Inamed stockholders are not
required to exchange all of their Inamed Shares for one form of
consideration or the other. Instead, if they own more than one
Inamed Share, they may elect to receive cash in exchange for
some of their Inamed Shares and shares of Allergan common stock
in exchange for the remainder of their Inamed Shares. If an
Inamed stockholder decides to change its election after
tendering its Inamed Shares, it must first withdraw the tendered
shares and then re-tender the
8
Inamed Shares prior to the expiration date, with a new letter of
election and transmittal that indicates the revised election.
Regulatory Requirements (Page 76)
The Offer and the Inamed Merger cannot be consummated until
certain information that Allergan has furnished to the Antitrust
Division of the Department of Justice (the DOJ) and
the FTC has been reviewed and certain waiting period
requirements have been satisfied. These requirements and other
issues are discussed under The Offer Certain Legal
Matters; Regulatory Approvals.
Source and Amount of Funds (Page 78)
The Offer and the Inamed Merger are not conditioned upon any
financing arrangements or contingencies.
Offeror estimates that the total purchase price for all of the
outstanding Inamed Shares proposed to be acquired pursuant to
the Offer and the Inamed Merger, including associated fees and
expenses, will be approximately $3.4 billion, including
$1.6 billion in cash. Allergan has received a commitment
letter from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., an affiliate of
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, providing for a
364-day bridge term
facility in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion. Any
proceeds of this facility will be used solely to acquire Inamed
Shares tendered in the Offer and pursuant to the Inamed Merger
and to pay associated transaction fees and expenses.
Dividend Policy of Allergan (Page 80)
The holders of shares of Allergan common stock receive dividends
if and when declared by Allergans board of directors out
of legally available funds. For the past three fiscal quarters,
including the quarter ended September 30, 2005, Allergan
has paid a cash dividend of $0.10 per share per quarter,
increased from the $0.09 per share paid per quarter in each
of the prior eight quarters. Allergans declaration and
payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon its
results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements,
prospects, limitations imposed by credit agreements or debt
securities and other factors deemed relevant by its board of
directors. Certain financial covenants set forth in
Allergans current bank credit line agreements and other
financing agreements (including the commitment letter from
Morgan Stanley discussed above) restrict its ability to declare
dividends. Allergan can give stockholders no assurance that
Allergan will continue to pay any dividends on its common stock
in the future at historical levels or at all.
No Appraisal Rights in Connection with the Offer
(Page 73)
No appraisal rights are available in connection with the Offer.
However, Inamed stockholders would have appraisal rights under
Delaware law in connection with the Inamed Merger.
Comparative Per Share Market Price Information
(Page 25)
Shares of Allergan common stock are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol AGN. Inamed Shares trade
on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol IMDC.
On November 14, 2005, the last full trading day before
Allergan announced its proposal to acquire Inamed, the closing
sales price of Allergan common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange was $98.85 and the closing sales price of Inamed Shares
on the NASDAQ National Market was $74.44. On December 21,
2005, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this
prospectus, the closing sales price of Allergan common stock was
$107.31 and the closing sales price of an Inamed Share was
$87.02. Inamed stockholders should obtain current market
quotations for Allergan common stock and Inamed Shares before
deciding whether to tender Inamed Shares in the Offer and before
electing the form of Offer consideration they wish to receive.
See Comparative Market Price Data.
Ownership of Allergan After the Offer (Page 70)
Allergan estimates that if all Inamed Shares are exchanged
pursuant to the Offer and the Inamed Merger, former Inamed
stockholders would own, in the aggregate approximately 11% of
the shares of Allergan common stock outstanding after the Inamed
Merger. For a detailed discussion of the assumptions on which
this estimate is based, see The Offer Ownership of
Allergan After the Offer and the Inamed Merger.
9
Material Differences in Rights of Stockholders
(Page 93)
The rights of Allergan stockholders are different in some
respects from the rights of Inamed stockholders. Therefore,
Inamed stockholders will have different rights as stockholders
once they become Allergan stockholders. The differences are
described in more detail under Comparison of
Stockholders Rights.
Tax Considerations (Page 70)
In the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP,
Allergans tax counsel, the Offer, the Inamed Merger and
the Post-Closing Merger will be treated as a single integrated
transaction that qualifies as a reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code). This opinion is given in reliance on
customary representations and assumptions as to certain factual
matters. See The Offer Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.
In the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, the tax
consequences to Inamed stockholders who receive their shares of
Allergan common stock and/or cash in exchange for shares of
Inamed stock pursuant to a transaction constituting a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code will generally be as follows:
|
|
|
an Inamed stockholder who
exchanges all of its Inamed Shares for shares of Allergan common
stock in the Offer and/or the Inamed Merger, will not recognize
any gain or loss from the exchange, except with respect to cash
received in lieu of fractional shares of Allergan common stock;
|
|
|
an Inamed stockholder who
exchanges all of its Inamed Shares for cash in the Offer and/or
Inamed Merger, generally will recognize gain or loss in the
exchange equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of
cash received for the Inamed Shares and the stockholders
tax basis in those Inamed Shares; and
|
|
|
an Inamed stockholder who
exchanges its Inamed Shares for both shares of Allergan common
stock and cash in the Offer and/or the Inamed Merger will
recognize gain, but not loss in the exchange, equal to the
lesser of (a) the amount of cash received in the
transaction and (b) the amount of gain realized in the
transaction. The amount of gain that is realized in the exchange
will equal the excess of (i) the sum of the cash plus the
fair market value of the Allergan common stock received in the
exchange over (ii) the tax basis of the shares of Inamed
common stock surrendered in the transaction.
|
Inamed stockholders should carefully read the discussion under
The Offer Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences, and consult their tax advisors on the
consequences of participation in the Offer or the Inamed Merger.
Accounting Treatment (Page 79)
The acquisition of Inamed by Allergan will be accounted for as a
purchase for financial reporting purposes.

factors, in deciding whether to tender Inamed Shares pursuant to
the Offer.
Risk Factors Relating to the Offer
|
|
|
The transaction may adversely affect the liquidity and
value of the Inamed Shares not tendered. |
If the Offer is completed but all Inamed Shares are not tendered
in the Offer, the number of stockholders and the number of
Inamed Shares publicly held will be greatly reduced. As a
result, the closing of the Offer could adversely affect the
liquidity and market value of the remaining Inamed Shares held
by the public. In addition, following completion of the Offer,
subject to the rules of the NASDAQ National Market, Inamed may
seek to delist the Inamed Shares from the NASDAQ National
Market. As a result of any such delisting, Inamed Shares not
tendered pursuant to the Offer may become illiquid and may be of
reduced value. See The Offer Plans for
Inamed.
|
|
|
Inamed has not been involved in the preparation of the
information contained in this prospectus, and such information
may be inaccurate or incomplete. |
Allergan has relied upon information publicly filed by Inamed
with the SEC for all information relating to Inamed presented
in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Although
neither Allergan nor Offeror has any knowledge that any such
information or statements contain or incorporated by reference
herein regarding Inameds condition, including its
financial or operating condition, are inaccurate, incomplete or
untrue, neither Allergan nor Offeror were involved in the
preparation of such information and statements. In addition,
Allergan has made adjustments and assumptions in preparing the
pro forma financial information presented in this prospectus
that have necessarily involved Allergans estimates with
respect to Inameds financial information. Any financial,
operating or other information regarding Inamed that may be
detrimental to Allergan following Offerors acquisition of
Inamed that has not been publicly disclosed by Inamed, or errors
in Allergans estimates due to Allergans inability to
gain full access to Inameds non-public information, may
have an adverse effect on the benefits Allergan expects to
achieve through the consummation of the Offer, the Inamed Merger
and the Post-Closing Merger.
|
|
|
The market price of Allergan common stock may decline as a
result of Allergans acquisition of Inamed. |
The market price of Allergans common stock may decline
after the Offer and Inamed Merger are completed if:
|
|
|
|
|
the integration of Inameds
business is unsuccessful or takes longer or is more disruptive
than anticipated;
|
|
|
|
information regarding Inamed that
has not been publicly disclosed has an adverse effect on the
combined companys profitability or results of operations;
|
|
|
|
after Allergan acquires Inamed,
Allergan learns of information with respect to Inamed that
prevents Allergan from making the certifications required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could reduce investors
confidence in Allergans reporting capabilities with
respect to Inameds business;
|
|
|
|
Allergan does not achieve the
expected synergies or other benefits of the Inamed acquisition
as rapidly or to the extent anticipated, if at all;
|
|
|
|
the effect of Allergans
acquisition of Inamed on Allergans financial results does
not meet the expectations of Allergan, financial analysts or
investors;
|
|
|
|
after Allergan acquires Inamed,
Inameds business does not perform as anticipated; or
|
|
|
|
Allergans credit rating is
downgraded as a result of Allergans increased indebtedness
incurred to finance the Offer and the Inamed Merger.
|
11
As of December 14, 2005 there were 134,254,772 shares
of Allergan common stock outstanding (including
1,563,978 shares held in treasury), and options outstanding
to purchase an additional 10,861,695 shares. In connection
with the Offer and Inamed Merger, Allergan estimates that
Allergan could issue approximately 17,875,862 additional
shares of Allergan common stock. The increase in the number of
outstanding shares of Allergan common stock may lead to sales of
such shares or the perception that such sales may occur, either
of which may adversely affect the market price of Allergan
common stock.
|
|
|
Uncertainties exist in integrating the business and
operations of Allergan and Inamed. |
After Allergans acquisition of Inamed, Allergan expects to
continue Inameds current operations, other than those
related to the Reloxin Assets. However, Allergan intends to
integrate certain of Inameds and Allergans functions
and operations. Although Allergan believes the integration will
be successfully completed, there can be no assurance that
Allergan will be able to successfully integrate Inameds
operations with those of Allergan. There will be inherent
challenges in integrating the companies operations that
could result in a delay or the failure to achieve the
anticipated synergies and, therefore, any potential increases in
earnings and cost savings. Issues that must be addressed in
integrating the operations of the companies include, among other
things:
|
|
|
|
|
conforming standards, controls,
procedures and policies, business cultures and compensation
structures between Inamed and Allergan;
|
|
|
|
consolidating corporate and
administrative infrastructures;
|
|
|
|
consolidating sales and marketing
operations;
|
|
|
|
retaining existing customers and
attracting new customers;
|
|
|
|
retaining key employees;
|
|
|
|
identifying and eliminating
redundant and underperforming operations and assets;
|
|
|
|
minimizing the diversion of
managements attention from ongoing business concerns;
|
|
|
|
coordinating geographically
dispersed organizations;
|
|
|
|
managing tax costs or
inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the
combined company; and
|
|
|
|
possibly modifying operating
control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
|
If Allergan is not able to successfully address these
challenges, Allergan may be unable to successfully integrate the
companies operations, or to realize the anticipated
benefits of the integration of the two companies. Actual cost
and sales synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than
Allergan currently expects and may take a longer time to achieve
than Allergan currently anticipates.
|
|
|
Even if the Offer is completed, full integration of
Inameds operations with Allergans may be delayed if
Offeror does not acquire at least 90% of the issued and
outstanding Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer. |
The Offer is subject to a condition that, before the expiration
date, there shall have been validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn at least a majority of the Inamed Shares on a fully
diluted basis. If Offeror acquires at least 90% of the issued
and outstanding Inamed Shares, the Inamed Merger will be able to
be effected as a short-form merger under Delaware
law. A short-form merger would enable Allergan to complete the
acquisition of Inamed without any action on the part of the
other holders of Inamed Shares. If Allergan does not acquire 90%
of the issued and outstanding Inamed Shares, Allergan will be
required to obtain the approval of Inamed stockholders to
consummate the Inamed Merger. Although this will not prevent the
Inamed Merger or Post-Closing Merger from occurring, as Offeror
will hold sufficient Inamed Shares to approve the Inamed Merger,
it would delay Allergan from completing the Inamed Merger and
could
12
delay the realization of some or all of the anticipated benefits
from integrating Inameds operations with Allergans
operations.
|
|
|
Antitrust authorities may attempt to delay or prevent
Offerors acquisition of Inamed. |
Allergan made a premerger filing under the HSR Act with the FTC
and Antitrust Division of the DOJ on November 15, 2005. On
December 15, 2005, Allergan received a request for
additional information and documentary material, referred to as
a second request, from the FTC, pursuant to the HSR Act, in
connection with the Offer and the Inamed Merger. The effect of
the second request is to extend the waiting period imposed by
the HSR Act until thirty days after Allergan has substantially
complied with such request. Until the applicable waiting period
under the HSR Act expires or is terminated, Offeror may not
purchase any Inamed Shares. In addition, Allergan has determined
that it is required to file notifications of the Offer and
Inamed Merger with the antitrust authorities in Spain and
Germany. Allergan filed the requisite notifications in Germany
on December 8, 2005 and in Spain on December 9, 2005.
Until the applicable waiting periods under the laws of Germany
and Spain expire or are terminated by the authorities in those
jurisdictions, Offeror may not purchase any Inamed Shares.
In order to minimize any potential antitrust issues, Allergan
will agree to immediately divest itself of the Reloxin Assets in
connection with the Offer. Inamed and Ipsen have entered into a
termination agreement pursuant to which, subject to the
consummation of Allergans acquisition of Inamed and
certain other conditions, all rights related to Ipsens
Botulinum Toxin type A pharmaceutical product previously granted
by Ipsen to Inamed would be returned to Ipsen, and all worldwide
rights in the
Reloxin®
trademark would be assigned to Ipsen. However, Allergan cannot
provide any assurance that the necessary approvals will be
obtained or that there will not be any adverse consequences to
the business of Allergan or Inamed resulting from conditions
that could be imposed in connection with obtaining these
approvals, including other divestitures or operating
restrictions upon Inamed or the combined company. The Offer is
conditioned upon the receipt of all required antitrust approvals
or clearances for Allergans acquisition of Inamed, without
Allergan, Inamed or any of Allergans subsidiaries being
required to meet any condition or restriction that would be
materially adverse to the combined company, other than the
divestiture of the Reloxin Assets, and no court or other
authority prohibiting the consummation of the Offer, the Inamed
Merger or the Post-Closing Merger. Inamed stockholders should be
aware that all required regulatory approvals may not be timely
obtained and could result in a significant delay in the
consummation of the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing
Merger.
|
|
|
Inamed stockholders who receive Allergan common stock in
the Offer will become Allergan stockholders. Allergans
common stock may be affected by different factors and holders
will have different rights than those as Inamed
stockholders. |
Upon completion of the Offer, Inamed stockholders receiving
shares of Allergan common stock will become stockholders of
Allergan. Allergans business differs from that of Inamed,
and Allergans results of operations and the trading price
of Allergan common stock may be adversely affected by factors
different from those that would affect Inameds results of
operations and stock price.
In addition, holders of shares of Allergan common stock will
have different rights as stockholders than those rights they had
as Inamed stockholders before the Offer or the Inamed Merger.
For a detailed comparison of the rights of Allergan stockholders
compared to the rights of Inamed stockholders, see
Comparison of Stockholders Rights.
|
|
|
Inamed stockholders may not receive all consideration in
the form elected. |
At the time Inamed stockholders tender their Inamed Shares and
make an election, they will not know exactly what combination of
cash and shares of Allergan common stock they will receive
because it will also depend upon the elections made by other
tendering stockholders. Each tendering Inamed stockholder will
receive either cash, shares of Allergan common stock, or a
combination of cash and shares of Allergan common stock, based
upon their election and the elections of other tendering
stockholders. To the extent that
13
the demand for either cash or stock consideration exceeds the
aggregate amount of cash or Allergan common stock available in
the Offer, Offeror will prorate the total cash or stock, as the
case may be, proportionally among the stockholders who elect the
form of consideration for which elections exceed availability.
Inamed stockholders who do not make an election will be
allocated whatever consideration is remaining (or a
proportionate share of each consideration if neither is
oversubscribed), after taking into account the elections of
tendering stockholders who make elections.
|
|
|
The receipt of shares of Allergan common stock in the
Offer and/or the Inamed Merger may be taxable to Inamed
stockholders. |
If the Offer, the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger are
not treated as an integrated transaction for United States
federal income tax purposes, if the Inamed Merger or the
Post-Closing Merger is not completed, or if the transaction
otherwise fails to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, the
exchange of Inamed Shares for shares of Allergan common stock in
the Offer and/or the Inamed Merger will be taxable to such
stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the
opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, the Offer, the
Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger will be treated as an
integrated transaction that qualifies as a tax-free
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The
opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP assumes a number
of factors that will not be definitively known prior to
completion of the Offer, the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing
Merger. In addition, the opinion of Gibson, Dunn &
Crutcher LLP will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service
and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service
will not challenge the conclusion set forth therein. For more
information, see The Offer Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences and the opinion
of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP attached as Annex C
to this prospectus.
Inamed stockholders should consult their tax advisors to
determine the specific tax consequences to them of the Offer,
the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger, including any
federal, state, local, foreign or other tax consequences, and
any tax return filing or other reporting requirements.
Risks Factors Relating to the Business of Allergan and the
Combined Company
The results of operations of Allergan and the combined
company will be subject to numerous risks affecting the business
of Allergan and Inamed. Inamed and Allergan operate in a rapidly
changing environment that involves a number of risks. The risks
described below and other risks discussed elsewhere in this
prospectus and Allergans SEC filings could materially and
adversely affect the business, financial condition, prospects,
operating results or cash flows of the combined company. For a
discussion of additional risk factors that affect the business
of Inamed, see the discussion Risks and
Uncertainties in Inameds
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 and Inameds other
SEC filings.
|
|
|
Allergans indebtedness following the Offer will be
greater than Allergans existing indebtedness, which may
increase its vulnerability to adverse financial
conditions. |
Allergans total indebtedness as of September 30, 2005
was approximately $701.6 million. Allergans pro forma
total indebtedness as of September 30, 2005, after giving
effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding Inamed
Shares will be approximately $1,746.6 million, as described
in Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial
Statements. Allergans debt service obligations with
respect to this increased indebtedness could have an adverse
impact on its earnings and cash flows for as long as the
indebtedness is outstanding.
Allergans increased indebtedness could have important
consequences to holders of Allergan common stock, including
former Inamed stockholders who receive Allergan shares in the
Offer. For example, it could:
|
|
|
|
|
make it more difficult for
Allergan to pay its debts as they become due upon the occurrence
of any adverse economic conditions, either generally or in its
industry or geographic areas in which it operates, because any
related decrease in revenues could cause Allergan to not have
sufficient cash flows from operations to make its scheduled debt
payments;
|
14
|
|
|
|
|
limit Allergans flexibility
in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the
industry in which it operates and, consequently, place Allergan
at a competitive disadvantage to its competitors;
|
|
|
|
require a substantial portion of
Allergans cash flows from operations be used to service
debt, thereby reducing its ability to fund research and
development, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions
and other corporate purposes;
|
|
|
|
result in acceleration of the
payment on Allergans existing debt or a downgrade in
Allergans credit rating, which could limit Allergans
ability to borrow additional funds or increase the interest
rates and restrictions applicable to Allergans
indebtedness; and
|
|
|
|
result in higher interest expense
in the event of increases in interest rates, as some of
Allergans borrowings are, and will continue to be, at
variable rates of interest.
|
There can be no assurance that Allergan will be able to pay all
principal and interest payments when due under Allergans
existing and proposed credit facilities, and the indenture
governing Allergans currently outstanding notes. See
The Offer Source and Amount of Funds.
|
|
|
The terms of Allergans existing and proposed debt
agreements impose many restrictions on Allergan. Failure to
comply with these restrictions could result in acceleration of
Allergans debt. Were this to occur, Allergan might not
have, or be able to obtain, sufficient cash to pay its
accelerated indebtedness. |
The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in
Allergans existing and proposed debt agreements may
adversely affect Allergans ability to finance future
operations or capital needs or to engage in new business
activities. Allergans existing and proposed debt
agreements restrict, or are expected to restrict,
Allergans ability to, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
incur subsidiary debt;
|
|
|
|
incur liens;
|
|
|
|
engage in consolidations, mergers,
and asset sales; and
|
|
|
|
engage in transactions with
affiliates.
|
In addition, Allergans existing and proposed debt
agreements include, or are expected to include, financial
covenants that Allergan maintain certain financial ratios. As a
result of these covenants and ratios, Allergan will have certain
limitations on the manner in which it can conduct its business,
and may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or
finance future operations or capital needs. Accordingly, these
restrictions may limit Allergans ability to successfully
operate its business. Failure to comply with the financial
covenants or to maintain the financial ratios contained in the
existing and proposed debt agreements could result in an event
of default that could trigger acceleration of Allergans
indebtedness. There can be no assurance that Allergans
future operating results will be sufficient to ensure compliance
with the covenants in its existing and proposed debt agreements
or to remedy any such default. In addition, in the event of any
default and related acceleration of obligations, Allergan may
not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make any
accelerated payments. See The Offer Source
and Amount of Funds and Allergans Existing
Debt Agreements.

|
|
The pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive
business. |
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. This
competitive environment requires an ongoing, extensive search
for technological innovation. It also requires, among other
things, the ability to effectively develop, test, and obtain
regulatory approvals for products, as well as the ability to
effectively commercialize, market and promote approved products,
including communicating the effectiveness, safety and value of
products to actual and prospective customers and medical
professionals. Many competitors of Allergan and Inamed have
greater resources, enabling them, among other things, to spread
their research and development costs, as well as their marketing
and promotion costs, over a broader revenue base. Competitors
may also have more experience and expertise in obtaining
marketing approvals from the FDA and other regulatory
15
authorities. In addition to product development, testing,
approval and promotion, other competitive factors in the
pharmaceutical industry include industry consolidation, product
quality and price, reputation, customer service and access to
technical information. It is possible that developments by
competitors could make the combined companys products or
technologies less competitive or obsolete. In addition,
competition from generic drug manufacturers is a major challenge
in the United States and is growing internationally. For
instance, Falcon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., an affiliate of Alcon
Laboratories, Inc., is currently attempting to obtain FDA
approval for and to launch a brimonidine product to compete with
Allergans
Alphagan®
P product.
Until December 2000,
Botox®
was the only neuromodulator approved by the FDA. At that time,
the FDA approved
Myobloc®,
a neuromodulator formerly marketed by Elan Pharmaceuticals and
now marketed by Solstice Neurosciences, Inc. Allergan believes
that Beaufour Ipsen Ltd. intends to seek FDA approval for its
Dysport®
neuromodulator for certain therapeutic indications, and Inamed,
Beaufour Ipsens marketing partner, intends to seek FDA
approval for
Reloxin®
for cosmetic indications. Beaufour Ipsen has marketed
Dysport®
in Europe since 1991, prior to Allergans European
commercialization of
Botox®
in 1992. In connection with the Offer, Allergan will agree to
divest to a third party all of Inameds rights and
interests in Beaufour Ipsens
Reloxin®
for therapeutic and cosmetic indications. Inamed has announced
that it is currently conducting Phase III trials for the
product; and in connection with the divestiture of the Reloxin
Assets, Allergan will cooperate fully with any subsequent
licensee to ensure such licensee is able to benefit from all
studies and trials conducted by Inamed to obtain regulatory
approval for
Reloxin®.
Also, Mentor Corporation has announced its intention to develop
and seek regulatory approval to market a competing
neuromodulator in the United States. In addition, Allergan is
aware of competing neuromodulators currently being developed and
commercialized in Asia, Europe, South America and other markets.
A Chinese entity received approval to market a botulinum toxin
in China in 1997, and Allergan believes that it has launched or
is planning to launch its botulinum toxin product in other
lightly regulated markets in Asia, South America and Central
America. These lightly regulated markets may not require
adherence to the FDAs current Good Manufacturing
Practices, or cGMPs, the European Medical Evaluation Agency or
other regulatory agencies in countries that are members of the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and
companies operating in these markets may be able to produce
products at a lower cost than can Allergan. In addition, Merz
Pharmaceuticals received approval from German authorities for a
botulinum toxin and launched its product in July 2005, and a
Korean company is conducting Phase III clinical trials for
a botulinum toxin in Korea. This product received exportation
approval from Korean authorities in early 2005. Allergans
sales of
Botox®
could be materially and negatively impacted by this competition
or competition from other companies that might obtain FDA
approval or approval from other regulatory authorities to market
a neuromodulator.
|
|
|
Botox®
Cosmetic is a consumer product; trends may change. Changes in
the consumer marketplace and applicable laws and economic
conditions may adversely affect sales or product margins of
Botox®
or
Botox®
Cosmetic. |
Botox®
Cosmetic is a consumer product. If Allergan fails to anticipate,
identify or to react to competitive products or if consumer
preferences in the cosmetic marketplace shift to other
treatments for the temporary improvement in the appearance of
moderate to severe glabellar lines, Allergan may experience a
decline in demand for
Botox®
Cosmetic. In addition, the popular media has at times in the
past produced, and may continue in the future to produce,
negative reports and entertainment regarding the efficacy,
safety or side effects of
Botox®
Cosmetic. Consumer perceptions of
Botox®
Cosmetic may be negatively impacted by these reports and for
other reasons, including the use of unapproved botulinum toxins
that result in injury, which may cause demand to decline.
Demand for
Botox®
Cosmetic also may be materially adversely affected by changing
economic conditions. Generally, the costs of cosmetic procedures
are borne by individuals without reimbursement from their
medical insurance providers or government programs. Individuals
may be less willing to incur the costs of these procedures in
weak or uncertain economic environments, and demand for
Botox®
Cosmetic could be adversely affected.
16
Because
Botox®
and
Botox®
Cosmetic are pharmaceutical products, Allergan does not
generally collect or pay sales tax or other taxes on sales of
Botox®
or
Botox®
Cosmetic. Allergan could be required to collect and pay sales or
other taxes associated with prior, current or future years on
sales of
Botox®
or
Botox®
Cosmetic. In addition to any retroactive taxes and corresponding
interest and penalties that could be assessed, if Allergan is
required to collect or pay sales or other tax associated with
current or future years on sales of
Botox®
or
Botox®
Cosmetic, its sales of, or product margins on,
Botox®
or
Botox®
Cosmetic could be adversely affected due to the increased cost
associated with those products.
|
|
|
Allergan could experience difficulties creating the raw
material needed to produce
Botox®
which would adversely affect sales. |
The manufacturing process to create the raw material necessary
to produce
Botox®
is technically complex and requires significant lead-time. Any
failure by Allergan to forecast demand for, or to maintain an
adequate supply of, the raw material and finished product could
result in an interruption in the supply of
Botox®
and a resulting decrease in sales of the product.
|
|
|
Allergans future success depends upon its ability to
develop new products, and new indications for existing products,
that achieve market acceptance. |
Allergans future performance will be affected by the
market acceptance of products such as
Lumigan®,
Alphagan®
P,
Combigantm,
Restasis®,
Acular
LS®,
Zymar®
and
Botox®,
as well as FDA approval of new indications for
Botox®,
and new products such as a
Lumigan®/Timolol
combination,
Posurdex®
and memantine. Allergan has allocated substantial resources to
the development and introduction of new products and
indications. For the business model of the combined company to
be successful, new products must be continually developed,
tested and manufactured and, in addition, must meet regulatory
standards and receive requisite regulatory approvals in a timely
manner. For instance, to obtain approval of new indications or
products in the United States, a company must submit, among
other information, the results of preclinical and clinical
studies on the new indication or product candidate to the FDA.
The number of preclinical and clinical studies that will be
required for FDA approval varies depending on the new indication
or product candidate, the disease or condition for which the new
indication or product candidate is in development and the
regulations applicable to that new indication or product
candidate. If the FDA delays or does not approve of new
indications for Allergan products or its new drug candidates,
the price per share of Allergan common stock may be impacted
upon the announcement of such delays or non-approvals. Allergan
is also required to pass pre-approval reviews and plant
inspections of its and its suppliers facilities to
demonstrate compliance with the FDAs cGMP regulations.
Products that Allergan currently is developing or other future
product candidates may or may not receive the regulatory
approvals necessary for marketing. Furthermore, the development,
regulatory review and approval, and commercialization processes
are time consuming, costly and subject to numerous factors that
may delay or prevent the development and commercialization of
new products, including legal actions brought by its
competitors. The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a new
indication or product candidate for many reasons, including:
|
|
|
|
|
a determination that the new
indication or product candidate is not safe and effective;
|
|
|
|
the FDA may interpret preclinical
and clinical data in different ways than Allergan does;
|
|
|
|
the FDA may not approve a
manufacturing process or facility; or
|
|
|
|
the FDA may change its approval
policies or adopt new regulations.
|
In connection with Allergans 2003 acquisitions of Bardeen
Sciences Company, LLC and Oculex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Allergan
acquired the right to continue researching and developing
certain compounds and products, for commercialization. It cannot
be assured that these or any other compounds or products in
development for commercialization will be able to be
commercialized on terms that will be profitable, or at all. If
any of Allergans products cannot be successfully or timely
commercialized, its operating results could be materially
adversely affected. Delays or unanticipated costs in any part of
the process or the inability of Allergan to obtain timely
regulatory approval for any products, including those
attributable to, among other
17
things, a failure to maintain manufacturing facilities in
compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, could
cause its operating results to suffer and stock price to
decrease. It cannot be assured that new products or indications
will be successfully developed, will receive regulatory approval
or will achieve market acceptance. Further, even if Allergan
receives FDA and other regulatory approvals for a new indication
or product, the product may later exhibit adverse effects that
limit or prevent its widespread use or that force Allergan to
withdraw the product from the market or to revise its labeling
to limit the indications for which the product may be prescribed.
|
|
|
If Allergan is unable to obtain and maintain adequate
patent protection for the technologies incorporated into its
products, its business and results of operations could
suffer. |
Patent protection is generally important in the pharmaceutical
industry. Upon the expiration or loss of patent protection for a
product, Allergan can lose a significant portion of sales of
that product in a very short period of time as other companies
manufacture generic forms of the previously protected product at
lower cost, without having had to incur significant research and
development costs in formulating the product. Therefore,
Allergans future financial success may depend in part on
obtaining patent protection for technologies incorporated into
its products. It cannot be assured that such patents will be
issued, or that any existing or future patents will be of
commercial benefit. In addition, it is impossible to anticipate
the breadth or degree of protection that any such patents will
afford, and it cannot be assured that any such patents will not
be successfully challenged in the future. If Allergan is
unsuccessful in obtaining or preserving patent protections, or
if any of Allergans products rely on unpatented
proprietary technology, there can be no assurance that others
will not commercialize products substantially identical to those
products. Generic drug manufacturers currently are challenging
the patents covering certain Allergan products and it is
expected that they will continue to do so in the future.
Allergans business also relies on trade secrets and
proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, through
confidentiality agreements with third parties, including with
partners, customers, employees and consultants. It is possible
that these agreements will be breached or that they will not be
enforceable in every instance, and that Allergan will not have
adequate remedies for any such breach. It is also possible that
Allergans trade secrets will become known or independently
developed by its competitors.
|
|
|
Interruptions in the supply of raw materials could disrupt
Allergans manufacturing and cause its sales and
profitability to decline. |
Allergan obtains the specialty chemicals that are the active
pharmaceutical ingredients in certain of its products from
single sources, who must maintain compliance with the FDAs
cGMP regulations. If Allergan experiences difficulties acquiring
sufficient quantities of these materials from its existing
suppliers, or if suppliers are found to be non-compliant with
the cGMPs, obtaining the required regulatory approvals,
including from the FDA, to use alternative suppliers may be a
lengthy and uncertain process. A lengthy interruption of the
supply of one or more of these materials could adversely affect
Allergans ability to manufacture and supply products,
which could cause its sales and profitability to decline.

Importation of products from Canada and other countries
into the United States may lower the prices Allergan receives
for its products. |
In the United States, Allergans products are subject to
competition from lower priced versions of its products and
competing products from Canada, Mexico, and other countries
where government price controls or other market dynamics result
in lower prices. Allergans products that require a
prescription in the United States often are available to
consumers in these markets without a prescription, which may
cause consumers to further seek out these products in these
lower priced markets. The ability of patients and other
customers to obtain these lower priced imports has grown
significantly as a result of the Internet, an expansion of
pharmacies in Canada and elsewhere targeted to American
purchasers, the increase in
U.S.-based businesses
affiliated with Canadian pharmacies marketing to American
purchasers, and other factors. Most of these foreign imports are
illegal under current U.S. law. However, the volume of
imports continues to rise due to the
18
limited enforcement resources of the FDA and the
U.S. Customs Service, and there is increased political
pressure to permit the imports as a mechanism for expanding
access to lower priced medicines.
In December 2003, Congress enacted the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. This law
contains provisions that may change U.S. import laws and
expand consumers ability to import lower priced versions
of products of Allergan and its competitors from Canada, where
there are government price controls. These changes to
U.S. import laws will not take effect unless and until the
Secretary of Health and Human Services certifies that the
changes will lead to substantial savings for consumers and will
not create a public health safety issue. The former Secretary of
Health and Human Services did not make such a certification.
However, it is possible that the current Secretary or a
subsequent Secretary could make the certification in the future.
As directed by Congress, a task force on drug importation
recently conducted a comprehensive study regarding the
circumstances under which drug importation could be safely
conducted and the consequences of importation on the health,
medical costs and development of new medicines for
U.S. consumers. The task force issued its report in
December 2004, finding that there are significant safety and
economic issues that must be addressed before importation of
prescription drugs is permitted, and the current Secretary has
not yet announced any plans to make the required certification.
In addition, federal legislative proposals have been made to
implement the changes to the U.S. import laws without any
certification, and to broaden permissible imports in other ways.
Even if the changes to the U.S. import laws do not take
effect, and other changes are not enacted, imports from Canada
and elsewhere may continue to increase due to market and
political forces, and the limited enforcement resources of the
FDA, the U.S. Customs Service and other government
agencies. For example, state and local governments have
suggested that they may import drugs from Canada for employees
covered by state health plans or others, and some already have
implemented such plans.
The importation of foreign products adversely affects
Allergans profitability in the United States. This impact
could become more significant in the future, and the impact
could be even greater if there is a further change in the law or
if state or local governments take further steps to import
products from abroad.
|
|
|
Allergans business will continue to expose it to
risks of environmental liabilities. |
Allergans product development programs and manufacturing
processes involve the controlled use of hazardous materials,
chemicals and toxic compounds. These programs and processes
expose Allergan to risks that an accidental contamination could
lead to noncompliance with environmental laws, regulatory
enforcement actions and claims for personal injury and property
damage. If an accident occurs, or if Allergan discovers
contamination caused by prior operations, including by prior
owners and operators of properties acquired, it could be liable
for cleanup obligations, damages and fines. The substantial
unexpected costs that Allergan may incur could have a
significant and adverse effect on Allergans business and
results of operations.
|
|
|
Allergan may experience losses due to product liability
claims, product recalls or corrections. |
The design, development, manufacture and sale of Allergans
products involves an inherent risk of product liability or other
claims by consumers and other third parties. Allergan has in the
past been, and continues to be, subject to various product
liability claims and lawsuits. In addition, it has in the past
and may in the future recall or issue field corrections related
to its products due to manufacturing deficiencies, labeling
errors or other safety or regulatory reasons. There can be no
assurance that Allergan will not in the future experience
material losses due to product liability claims, lawsuits,
product recalls or corrections.
Additionally, Allergans products may cause, or may appear
to cause, serious adverse side effects or potentially dangerous
drug interactions if misused or improperly prescribed. These
events, among others, could result in additional regulatory
controls, such as the performance by Allergan of costly
post-approval clinical studies or revisions to approved
labeling, which could limit the indications or patient
population for its products or could even lead to the withdrawal
of a product from the market. Furthermore, any adverse publicity
associated with such an event could cause consumers to seek
alternatives to Allergans products, which may cause its
sales to decline, even if Allergans products are
ultimately determined not to have been the primary cause of the
event.
19
|
|
|
Health care initiatives and other cost-containment
pressures could cause Allergan to sell its products at lower
prices, resulting in decreased revenue. |
Some of Allergans products are purchased or reimbursed by
state and federal government authorities, private health
insurers and other organizations, such as health maintenance
organizations, or HMOs, and managed care organizations, or MCOs.
Third party payors increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product
pricing. The trend toward managed healthcare in the United
States, the growth of organizations such as HMOs and MCOs, and
various legislative proposals and enactments to reform
healthcare and government insurance programs, including the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act
of 2003, could significantly influence the manner in which
pharmaceutical products are prescribed and purchased, which
could result in lower prices and/or a reduction in demand for
Allergans products.
In a recent rule establishing a competitive acquisition program,
beginning January 2006, physicians who administer drugs in their
offices will be offered an option to acquire drugs covered under
the Medicare Part B benefit from vendors who are selected
in a competitive bidding process. Winning vendors would be
selected based on criteria that include their bid price. Such
cost containment measures and healthcare reforms could adversely
affect Allergans ability to sell its products.
Furthermore, individual states have become increasingly
aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations
designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including
price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts,
restrictions on certain product access, importation from other
countries and bulk purchasing. Legally mandated price controls
on payment amounts by third party payors or other restrictions
could negatively and materially impact Allergans revenues
and financial condition. Allergan encounters similar regulatory
and legislative issues in most countries outside the United
States. In addition, regional healthcare authorities and
individual hospitals are increasingly using bidding procedures
to determine what pharmaceutical products and which suppliers
will be included in the prescription drug and other healthcare
programs. This can reduce demand for Allergans products or
put pressure on its product pricing, which could negatively
affect its revenues and profitability.
|
|
|
Allergan is subject to risks arising from currency
exchange rates, which could increase its costs and may cause its
profitability to decline. |
Allergan collects and pays a substantial portion of its sales
and expenditures in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
affect its operating results. There can be no assurance that
future exchange rate movements, inflation or other related
factors will not have a material adverse effect on
Allergans sales, gross profit or operating expenses.
|
|
|
Allergan is subject to risks associated with doing
business internationally. |
Allergans business is subject to certain risks inherent in
international business, many of which are beyond its control.
These risks include, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
adverse changes in tariff and
trade protection measures;
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in foreign
regulatory requirements;
|
|
|
|
potentially negative consequences
from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;
|
|
|
|
differing labor regulations;
|
|
|
|
changing economic conditions in
countries where Allergans products are sold or
manufactured or in other countries;
|
|
|
|
differing local product
preferences and product requirements;
|
|
|
|
exchange rate risks;
|
|
|
|
restrictions on the repatriation
of funds;
|
20
|
|
|
|
|
political unrest and hostilities;
|
|
|
|
differing degrees of protection
for intellectual property; and
|
|
|
|
difficulties in coordinating and
managing foreign operations.
|
Any of these factors, or any other international factors, could
have a material adverse effect on Allergans business,
financial condition and results of operations. There can be no
assurance that Allergan can successfully manage these risks or
avoid their effects.
|
|
|
Allergan may be subject to intellectual property
litigation and infringement claims, which could cause it to
incur significant expenses and losses or prevent it from selling
its products. |
Although Allergan has a corporate policy not to infringe the
valid and enforceable patents of others, there can be no
assurance that Allergans products will not infringe
patents held by third parties. If Allergan or a third party
discovers that Allergan may be infringing third party patents,
licenses from those third parties may not be available on
commercially attractive terms or at all. Allergan may have to
defend, and has recently defended, against allegations that it
violated patents or the proprietary rights of third parties.
Litigation is costly and time-consuming, and diverts the
attention of management and technical personnel. In addition, if
Allergan infringes the intellectual property rights of others,
it could lose its right to develop, manufacture or sell products
or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to
license proprietary rights from third parties. An adverse
determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or a
failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent Allergan from
manufacturing or selling its products, which could harm its
business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations
and cash flows. See Item 1 of Part II of
Allergans
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005, and Note 9 in the
notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contained therein for information concerning
Allergans current intellectual property litigation.
|
|
|
The consolidation of drug wholesalers and other wholesaler
actions could increase competitive and pricing pressures on
pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Allergan. |
Allergan sells its pharmaceutical products primarily through
wholesalers. These wholesale customers comprise a significant
part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in
the United States. This distribution network is continuing to
undergo significant consolidation marked by mergers and
acquisitions. As a result, a smaller number of large wholesale
distributors control a significant share of the market. Allergan
expects that consolidation of drug wholesalers will increase
competitive and pricing pressures on pharmaceutical
manufacturers, including Allergan. In addition, wholesalers may
apply pricing pressure through the implementation of
fee-for-service arrangements, and their purchases may exceed
customer demand, resulting in reduced wholesaler purchases in
later quarters. There can be no assurance that Allergan can
manage these pressures or that wholesaler purchases will not
decrease as a result of this potential excess buying.
|
|
|
Allergan may acquire other companies in the future and
these acquisitions could disrupt its business. |
As part of its business strategy, Allergan regularly considers
and, as appropriate, makes acquisitions of technologies,
products and businesses that it believes are complementary or
additive to its business. As discussed above, acquisitions
typically entail many risks and could result in difficulties in
integrating the operations, personnel, technologies and products
of the companies acquired, some of which may result in
significant charges to earnings. If Allergan is unable to
successfully integrate these acquisitions with its existing
business, it may not obtain the advantages that the acquisitions
were intended to create, which may materially adversely affect
its business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows, its ability to develop and introduce new products
and the market price of its stock. In connection with
acquisitions, Allergan could experience disruption in its
business or employee base, or key employees of companies that it
acquires may seek employment elsewhere, including with
Allergans competitors. Furthermore, the products of
companies Allergan acquires may overlap with its products or
those of its customers, creating conflicts with existing
relationships or with other commitments that are detrimental to
the integrated businesses.
21
|
|
|
Compliance with the extensive government regulations to
which Allergan is subject is expensive and time consuming, and
may result in the delay or cancellation of product sales,
introductions or modifications. |
Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to
have, a significant impact on Allergans business,
especially its product development and manufacturing
capabilities. All pharmaceutical companies, including Allergan,
are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving
regulation by federal governmental authorities, principally by
the FDA and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, or
DEA, and similar foreign and state government agencies. Failure
to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA, DEA and
other U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements may subject a
company to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions,
including, among others, a refusal to approve a pending
application to market a new product or a new indication for an
existing product. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the
Controlled Substances Act and other domestic and foreign
statutes and regulations govern or influence the research,
testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record
keeping, safety, effectiveness, approval, advertising,
promotion, sale and distribution of Allergans products.
Under certain of these regulations, Allergan is subject to
periodic inspection of its facilities, production processes and
control operations and/or the testing of its products by the
FDA, the DEA and other authorities, to confirm that they are in
compliance with all applicable regulations, including the
FDAs cGMP regulations. The FDA conducts pre-approval and
post-approval reviews and plant inspections of Allergan and its
suppliers to determine whether its record keeping, production
processes and controls, personnel and quality control are in
compliance with the cGMPs and other FDA regulations. Allergan is
also required to perform extensive audits of its vendors,
contract laboratories and suppliers to ensure that they are
compliant with these requirements. In addition, in order to
commercialize its products or new indications for an existing
product, Allergan must demonstrate that the product or new
indication is safe and effective, and that its and its
suppliers manufacturing facilities are compliant with
applicable regulations, to the satisfaction of the FDA and other
regulatory agencies.
The process for obtaining governmental approval to manufacture
pharmaceutical products is rigorous, typically takes many years
and is costly, and Allergan cannot predict the extent to which
it may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments.
Allergan is dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental
approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and shipping its
products. Allergan may fail to obtain approval from the FDA or
other governmental authorities for its product candidates, or
experience delays in obtaining such approvals, due to varying
interpretations of data or failure to satisfy rigorous efficacy,
safety and manufacturing quality standards. Consequently, there
is always a risk that the FDA or other applicable governmental
authorities will not approve Allergans products, or will
take post-approval action limiting or revoking Allergans
ability to sell its products, or that the rate, timing and cost
of such approvals will adversely affect Allergans product
introduction plans, results of operations and stock price.
Despite the time and expense exerted, regulatory approval is
never guaranteed.
Even after Allergan obtains regulatory approval for a product
candidate or new indication, it is subject to extensive
regulation, including ongoing compliance with the FDAs
cGMP regulations, completion of post-marketing clinical studies
mandated by the FDA, and compliance with regulations relating to
adverse event reporting, labeling, advertising, marketing and
promotion. If Allergan or any third party that it involves in
the testing, packing, manufacture, labeling, marketing and
distribution of its products fails to comply with any such
regulations, they may be subject to, among other things, warning
letters, product seizures, recalls, fines or other civil
penalties, injunctions, suspension or revocation of approvals,
operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.
The FDA recently has increased its enforcement activities
related to the advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical and
biological products. In particular, the FDA has expressed
concern regarding the pharmaceutical industrys compliance
with the agencys regulations governing
direct-to-consumer
advertising, and has increased its scrutiny of such promotional
materials. The FDA may limit or, with respect to certain
products, terminate Allergans dissemination of
direct-to-consumer
advertisements in the future, which could cause sales for those
products to decline.
Physicians may prescribe pharmaceutical or biologic products for
uses that are not described in a products labeling or
differ from those tested by Allergan and approved by the FDA.
While such off-label
22
uses are common and the FDA does not regulate a physicians
choice of treatment, the FDA does restrict a manufacturers
communications on the subject of off-label use. Companies cannot
actively promote FDA-approved pharmaceutical or biologic
products for off-label uses, but they may disseminate to
physicians articles published in peer-reviewed journals. To the
extent allowed by law, Allergan disseminates peer-reviewed
articles on its products to targeted physicians. If, however,
its promotional activities fail to comply with the FDAs
regulations or guidelines, it may be subject to warnings from,
or enforcement action by, the FDA or another enforcement agency.
|
|
|
If Allergan markets products in a manner that violates
health care fraud and abuse laws, it may be subject to civil or
criminal penalties. |
Federal health care program anti-kickback statutes prohibit,
among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying,
soliciting, or receiving remuneration to induce or in return for
purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for the purchase,
lease or order of any health care item or service reimbursable
under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federally financed health
care programs. This statute has been interpreted to apply to
arrangements between pharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand
and prescribers, purchasers, and formulary managers on the
other. Although there are a number of statutory exemptions and
regulatory safe harbors protecting certain common activities
from prosecution, the exemptions and safe harbors are drawn
narrowly, and practices that involve remuneration intended to
induce prescribing, purchases, or recommendations may be subject
to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exemption or safe
harbor. Although Allergan believes that it is in compliance, its
practices may be determined to fail to meet all of the criteria
for safe harbor protection from anti-kickback liability.
Federal false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly
presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for
payment to the federal government, or knowingly making, or
causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid.
Pharmaceutical companies have been prosecuted under these laws
for a variety of alleged promotional and marketing activities,
such as allegedly providing free product to customers with the
expectation that the customers would bill federal programs for
the product; reporting to pricing services inflated average
wholesale prices that were then used by federal programs to set
reimbursement rates; engaging in off-label promotion that caused
claims to be submitted to Medicaid for non-covered off-label
uses; and submitting inflated best price information to the
Medicaid Rebate Program.
The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar
to the federal anti-kickback law and false claims laws, which
apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other
state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the
payor. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include
civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturers
products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal
fines, and imprisonment.
Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the
safe harbors, it is possible that some of Allergans
business activities could be subject to challenge under one or
more of such laws. For example, Allergan and several other
pharmaceutical companies are currently subject to suits by
governmental entities in several jurisdictions, including
Massachusetts, New York and Alabama alleging that Allergan and
those other companies, through promotional, discounting, and
pricing practices reported false and inflated average wholesale
prices or wholesale acquisition costs and failed to report best
prices as required by federal and state rebate statutes,
resulting in the plaintiffs overpaying for certain medications.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA
(UNAUDITED)
The following table reflects historical information about basic
and diluted income per share, cash dividends per share, and book
value per share for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31,
2004, on a historical basis, and for Allergan and Inamed on an
unaudited pro forma combined basis after giving effect to the
Offer, the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger. The pro
forma data of the combined company assumes the acquisition of
100% of the Inamed Shares by Allergan and was derived by
combining the historical consolidated financial information of
Allergan and Inamed as described elsewhere in this prospectus.
The equivalent pro forma combined per share data for Allergan
assumes that 45% of the Inamed Shares will be exchanged for cash
and 55% of the Inamed Shares will be exchanged for shares of
Allergan common stock. The actual percentage of cash and
Allergan common stock an Inamed stockholder will receive depends
upon such stockholders election and the elections made by
other Inamed stockholders and any resulting proration. For a
discussion of the assumptions and adjustments made in preparing
the pro forma financial information presented in this
prospectus, see Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Financial Statements.
Inamed stockholders should read the information presented in the
following table together with the historical financial
statements of Allergan and Inamed and the related notes which
are incorporated herein by reference, and the Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro forma data is
unaudited and for illustrative purposes only. Inamed
stockholders should not rely on this information as being
indicative of the historical results that would have been
achieved during the periods presented had the companies always
been combined or the future results that the combined company
will achieve after the consummation of the Offer, the Inamed
Merger and the Post-Closing Merger. This pro forma information
is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed
under Risk Factors above.

Note 2Interest expense decreased in 2004 due to
Inameds debt refinancing and principal reduction in
mid-2003. In addition, Inamed began investing its excess cash in
short-term investments in 2004, which significantly increased
its interest income.

REASONS FOR THE OFFER
Allergan believes that the proposed acquisition of Inamed by
Offeror and Allergan will produce the following benefits:
|
|
|
|
|
Increased Market Presence and
Opportunities. The
combination of Allergan and Inamed would increase the combined
companys market presence and opportunities for growth in
sales, earnings and stockholder returns.
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Product
Mix. The complementary
nature of Allergans products with those of Inamed will
benefit current patients and customers of both companies and
provide the combined company with the ability to access new
patients and customers.
|
|
|
|
Operating
Efficiencies. The
combination of Allergan and Inamed provides the opportunity for
potential economies of scale and cost savings.
|
|
|
|
Combination of Significant
Management Talent. The
transaction will afford the opportunity to combine the skills of
two well-regarded management teams.
|
|
|
|
Employee
Opportunities.
Employees of both companies will benefit from the greater
resources and opportunities that come from being part of a
larger organization.
|
Allergan believes that combining Allergan and Inamed will
provide significant beneficial long-term growth prospects, which
will increase stockholder value. The shares of Allergan common
stock to be issued to Inamed stockholders who receive shares in
the Offer will allow those former Inamed stockholders to
participate in the growth and opportunities of the combined
company.
35
BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER
Allergan Proposal
As part of the continuous evaluation of its businesses and the
industry in which it competes, Allergan regularly considers a
variety of strategic options and transactions that complement
its strategic focus or provide growth opportunities in its
current markets. Recently, Allergan has consulted with its
financial advisers and reviewed various strategic alternatives
that provide opportunities for growth in the aesthetics market,
including the proposed Offer and Inamed Merger.
On November 14, 2005, Allergan sent a letter to Inamed
setting forth a proposal for a business combination between
Inamed and Allergan. On November 15, 2005, Allergan issued
a press release, which attached a copy of the letter.
The full text of the Allergan letter is as follows:
November 14, 2005
|
|
|
Mr. Nicholas L. Teti |
|
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer |
|
Inamed Corporation |
|
5540 Ekwill Street |
|
Santa Barbara, CA 93111 |
|
|
Dear Mr. Teti: |
|
|
|
We are pleased to submit a proposal to acquire Inamed in a
transaction that will provide your stockholders substantially
greater value than your pending merger with Medicis. |
|
|
|
We are proposing to acquire all of Inameds outstanding
shares in a transaction providing Inamed stockholders with a per
share consideration of $84.00 in cash or 0.8498 of a share of
Allergan common stock. We will provide the opportunity for each
Inamed stockholder to elect whether to receive the consideration
in cash or common stock of Allergan, subject to the limitation
that the total value of the consideration payable will be
$1.45 billion in cash and 17.9 million shares of
Allergan. |
|
|
Our proposal is clearly superior to Medicis, both
financially and strategically: |
|
|
(i) |
It will provide the immediate opportunity for your stockholders
to realize substantially greater value for their sharesa
12% premium over the initial Medicis offer and a 16% premium
over the currently implied Medicis offer. |
(ii) |
It offers greater certainty of value for Inameds
stockholders as it includes 26% more cash and shares that are
more liquid. |
(iii) |
It offers closure at least as fast as or faster than the Medicis
transaction. |
(iv) |
Your stockholders will have the opportunity to realize greater
long-term value as a result of the truly unique attributes of an
Allergan-Inamed combination, which will create a global leader
in medical aesthetics, creating value for both companies
stockholders, employees, patients and customers. |
|
|
|
This transaction also will result in the combination of two
strong companies and will afford the opportunity to mutually
enhance our skills. We have great respect for Inamed and are
confident that we will be able to integrate the two companies to
build a stronger, more efficient company. Additionally,
employees of both companies will benefit from the greater
resources and opportunities that come from being part of a
larger organization. |
|
|
We are aware that Medicis proposed merger with Inamed has
prompted a lengthy and still-ongoing antitrust investigation by
the Federal Trade Commission, which could continue to cause
substantial delays in the completion of that transaction.
Allergan does not envision any such problems with its proposed
acquisition of Inamed. We are confident that there will be no
material delay in the transaction |
36
|
|
|
we are proposing on account of Federal Trade Commission review.
In order to minimize any potential antitrust issues, Allergan
will agree to an immediate divestiture of Inameds license
to
Reloxin®.
And if and to the extent needed, Allergan will seek cooperation
from Beaufour Ipsen Ltd. in this regard. Allergan will also
cooperate fully with any subsequent licensee of
Reloxin®
to ensure that the new licensee is able to benefit from studies
or other work that Inamed has done in an effort to obtain
regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration or other regulatory agencies. We have been
advised by counsel that, in contrast to Inameds proposed
merger with Medicis, an acquisition of Inamed by Allergan, with
an agreed upon divestiture of any rights to
Reloxin®,
should not result in any prolonged investigation by U.S. or
foreign antitrust authorities. However, to ensure that all
necessary antitrust approvals are obtained as expeditiously as
possible, Allergan intends to file its Hart-Scott-Rodino
pre-merger notification no later than November 15, 2005,
and any additional foreign filings that may be required will be
made promptly thereafter. |
|
|
Our proposal represents a Company Superior Proposal
that clearly meets the standards set forth in Section 8.03
of the existing merger agreement. It offers greater value to
Inamed stockholders and has greater certainty of completion than
the pending merger. We can comfortably fund the cash portion of
the consideration through a combination of cash on hand and
permanent financing and have sufficient authorized and unissued
shares for the acquisition. Further, no vote of Allergan
stockholders will be required for the issuance of
Allergans stock in the transaction. As a result, our
transaction can be completed in a timely manner with a goal of
closing the acquisition in January 2006 and involves no delay in
comparison with the proposed merger with Medicis. |
|
|
Our proposal is subject to the execution of a mutually
acceptable definitive agreement and the satisfactory completion
of limited due diligence to confirm (i) that there are no
material undisclosed adverse facts or developments concerning
Inamed or it products or pipeline (including, but not limited
to, material facts regarding the development and regulatory

(ii) that neither Inameds license from Corneal Group
for the rights to develop, distribute and market the
Juvéderm®
dermal fillers nor the approvable letter from the
Food and Drug Administration announced September 21, 2005
for certain breast implants (nor any correspondence relating
thereto) contain any terms and conditions not publicly disclosed
that would materially adversely affect the value of
Inameds acquisition to Allergan and its stockholders. We,
our legal advisor, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and our
financial advisor, Morgan Stanley, are ready to proceed with the
due diligence review immediately, and Allergans executed
confidentiality agreement is enclosed herewith. We are prepared
to enter into a merger agreement consistent with the terms set
forth herein and otherwise substantially the same as your
existing merger agreement with Medicis. Of course, we are
prepared to afford you and your representatives access to
non-public information concerning Allergan for the purpose of
your due diligence review. |

The Allergan Board supports the combination of our companies. We
trust you and Inameds other directors will respond
immediately and positively to our proposal. We look forward to
working with you to achieve what will be a compelling
transaction for the stockholders, customers, partners and
employees of our two companies. |

On November 16, 2005, Inamed announced that its Board of
Directors, after conferring with the companys legal and
financial advisors, had determined that the Allergan proposal is
reasonably likely to result in a Company Superior
Proposal as the term was used in the Medicis merger
agreement, and directed Inameds management to evaluate the
Allergan proposal. Following the execution of a mutual
confidentiality agreement between Allergan and Inamed, a meeting
was held November 18, 2005 between representatives of the
two companies to discuss the proposed transaction and procedures
for the exchange of non-public information for due diligence
purposes. The two companies began making arrangements for the
exchange of information promptly thereafter. |
On November 22, 2005, the companies and their
representatives commenced mutual due diligence and on
December 1, 2005, a meeting was held between
representatives of the two companies to present to each other an
overview of each of the companies.
Beginning the week of November 27, 2005, the companies and
their representatives commenced negotiating certain revised
terms and conditions to the offer and merger pursuant to which
Allergan would acquire Inamed. On December 5, 2005, the
filing deadline for Inameds Solicitation/ Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9, the companies had not
completed their negotiation of the revised terms and conditions,
and thus the Inamed board of directors voted unanimously to
recommend that the Inamed stockholders reject the Offer.
However, on December 5, 2005, the companies continued to
actively negotiate the terms and conditions of a definitive
agreement.
On December 6, 2005, the companies reached agreement on the
terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, and Allergan executed
and delivered to Inamed an irrevocable offer letter accompanied
by an executed copy of the definitive Allergan Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the Medicis merger agreement, prior to the
termination of the Medicis merger agreement, Inamed could not
enter into the Allergan Merger Agreement. However,
Allergans irrevocable offer letter provided that Inamed
could accept the offer set forth in the offer letter at any time
after the Medicis merger agreement was terminated and after
receipt of notice from Allergan that the conditions to the
irrevocable offer had been met. Unless previously accepted by
Inamed in a manner that did not constitute a breach of the
Medicis merger agreement, the irrevocable offer by its terms
would automatically expire and be of no further force and effect
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in the
irrevocable offer letter.
The text of the irrevocable offer letter is as follows:

December 5, 2005 |
|
|
Mr. Nicholas L. Teti |
|
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer |
|
Inamed Corporation |
|
5540 Ekwill Street |
|
Santa Barbara, CA 93111 |
Dear Mr. Teti:
|
|
|
We are pleased to provide you with the attached Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) among
Allergan, Inc. (Allergan), Banner Acquisition, Inc.
(Merger Sub) and Inamed Corporation
(Inamed) executed by Allergan and Merger Sub. The
execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Allergan and
Merger Sub in conjunction with this letter constitutes a binding
irrevocable offer (subject only to the terms and conditions set
forth herein) by Allergan and Merger Sub to Inamed to enter into
the Merger Agreement, and to conduct an exchange offer by Merger
Sub for all of the shares of Inamed common stock on the terms
and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the
Offer) and promptly thereafter to consummate the
second step merger contemplated thereby (the
Merger). Inamed can accept this irrevocable offer at
any time, after receipt of notice from Allergan that the
conditions to this irrevocable offer set forth below have been
met, by executing the Merger Agreement and returning the
executed copy to me prior to the expiration thereof as set forth
in this letter. |
38
|
|
|
This irrevocable offer is subject solely to the following
conditions: |
|
|
(1) Allergan shall be satisfied with the results of its
limited due diligence investigation of
Juvéderm®,
which will be conducted solely to confirm that there are no
material undisclosed adverse facts or developments, including,
but not limited to, material facts regarding the development and
regulatory approval process and timeline for
Juvéderm®
in the United States, and |
|
|
(2) Allergan shall be reasonably satisfied that there are
no material facts or circumstances contained in Inamed schedules
to the Merger Agreement that have not been disclosed to Allergan
prior to the date hereof. |
|
|
If, in Allergans reasonable judgment, the foregoing
conditions are not met, this irrevocable offer may not be
accepted by Inamed, and shall automatically expire and be of no
further force or effect. After expiration of this irrevocable
offer, Allergan and Merger Sub shall have no further liability
or obligation to Inamed, notwithstanding the execution and
delivery of the Merger Agreement or this letter. |
|
|
In addition, unless previously accepted by Inamed, in a manner
that does not constitute a breach of the Medicis merger
agreement, this irrevocable offer shall automatically expire and
be of no further force and effect on the earliest to occur of
the following events: |
|
|
|
(1) At 5:00 pm. Pacific Standard Time on December 6,
2005, unless at or prior to such time Inamed: |
|
|
|
|
|
has determined that the Offer constitutes a Company Superior
Proposal within the meaning of the Medicis merger agreement; |
|
|
|
has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside
legal counsel, that failure to (i) withdraw the recommendation
of the Medicis merger agreement, and (ii) approve and
recommend the Offer, would reasonably be likely to constitute a
violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and |
|
|
|
has delivered written notice of such determinations to Medicis. |
|
|
|
If Inamed timely takes these actions, then within five business
days after delivery of the written notice to Medicis referenced
in the third bullet above, Allergan and Merger Sub, as
applicable, shall amend the registration statement on
Form S-4 and the Schedule TO relating to Merger
Subs exchange offer for of the outstanding shares of
Inamed common stock commenced on November 21, 2005, to disclose
the terms of this irrevocable offer and to state that the terms
and conditions of such exchange offer will be amended to conform
to the terms and conditions of the Offer upon acceptance of this
irrevocable offer by Inamed in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth herein and Inameds execution and
delivery of the Merger Agreement. |
|
|
(2) At 5:00 pm. Pacific Standard Time on December 13,
2005, unless on or prior to such time, Inamed has: |
|
|
|
|
|
publicly withdrawn its recommendation of the Medicis merger
agreement, |
|
|
|
approved and publicly recommended the Offer; and |
|
|
|
amended its Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on
Schedule 14D-9 with respect to Merger Subs exchange
offer for all of the outstanding shares of Inamed common stock
commenced on November 21, 2005 (the 14D-9) to
reflect the foregoing. |
|
|
|
(3) 48 hours following termination of the Medicis merger
agreement if: |
|
|
|
|
|
Inamed has failed to provide, prior to such time, (A) all
information requested by Allergan to enable Allergan to complete
its limited due diligence investigation concerning Juvederm
described above, and (B) Inameds definitive
disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, or |
39
|
|
|
|
|
the Inamed board of directors has failed, prior to such time, to
(A) approve the Merger Agreement and authorize the officers
of Inamed to execute the Merger Agreement upon receipt of notice
from Allergan that Allergan is satisfied that the conditions set
forth above have been met, (B) approve the Offer and the Merger
such that Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
shall not apply to such transactions and approve the amendment
of the Inamed stockholder rights agreement to provide that the
stockholder rights agreement shall not apply to the Offer and
the Merger, and (C) provided copies of such authorizations
to Allergan (which authorizations shall be satisfactory to
Allergan in its reasonable judgment). |
|
|
|
(4) 24 hours following delivery by Allergan of written
notice to Inamed that Allergan is satisfied with its limited due
diligence investigation of Juvederm and Inameds definitive
disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, each as described
above, unless Inamed has executed and delivered to Allergan the
Merger Agreement. |
|
|
(5) At 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 31,
2005. |
|
|
We believe we have addressed all of the concerns we understood
the Board of Directors of Inamed had with the terms of the
exchange offer commenced by Merger Sub on November 21, 2005. |
|
|
We look forward to hearing from you with regard to your
determination. |
|
|
|
Very truly yours, |
|
|

General Counsel and Secretary |
The terms and conditions of the Allergan Merger Agreement
attached to the irrevocable offer letter are described below
under Allergan Merger Agreement, and a copy of the
Allergan Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A hereto.
After receipt of the irrevocable offer letter and the Allergan
Merger Agreement executed by Allergan, Inamed issued a press
release on December 6, 2005 and filed an amendment to its
Schedule 14D-9,
announcing that its board of directors has determined that the
Allergan Merger Agreement and the offer set forth therein are
fair to Inameds stockholders and constitute a
Company Superior Proposal (as such term was defined
in the Medicis merger agreement) when compared to the Medicis
merger agreement.
Termination of the Medicis Merger Agreement
As noted above, on December 13, 2005, Inamed and Medicis
each announced the termination of the Medicis merger agreement
pursuant to a Merger Termination Agreement, which agreement
provided that the Medicis merger agreement would be terminated
effective upon the execution of the Merger Termination Agreement
and Medicis receipt from Inamed of a termination fee of
$90,000,000 and reimbursement of $481,985 with respect to
certain Medicis expenses. The Merger Termination Agreement also
provides for a mutual release of certain claims in connection
with the termination of the Medicis merger agreement.
According to public filings made by Inamed and Medicis with the
SEC on December 13, 2005, the termination fee and expense
reimbursement payments were paid in full by Inamed on
December 13, 2005 and the Medicis merger agreement was
terminated in its entirety at such time. In connection with such
termination, Inamed announced the cancellation of the special
meeting of Inamed stockholders scheduled for December 19,
2005.
40
Recommendation of the Inamed Board
On December 13, 2005, Inamed filed an amendment to its
Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
initially filed with the SEC on December 5, 2005 and
subsequently amended. That amendment disclosed that on
December 13, 2005 Inameds board of directors
determined that the terms of the exchange offer set forth in the
Allergan Merger Agreement and the Allergan Merger Agreement are
advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Inamed
stockholders, and resolved to recommend that the Inamed
stockholders tender their Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer
upon Inameds execution of the Allergan Merger Agreement
and the amendment of the Offer to conform to the terms of the
exchange offer set forth in the Allergan Merger Agreement.
At meetings held on December 13 and 14, 2005, Inameds
board of directors:
|
|
|
|
|
formally and unanimously approved and adopted the terms of the
Allergan Merger Agreement; |
|
|
|
approved the Offer, the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing
Merger such that Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law would not apply to such transactions; |
|
|
|
approved the amendment of Inameds stockholder rights
agreement to provide that the execution of the Allergan Merger
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Allergan Merger Agreement would not trigger the rights
plan; and |
|
|
|
resolved to recommend that Inamed Shareholders tender their
shares pursuant to the offer contemplated by the Allergan Merger
Agreement. |
Execution of the Allergan Merger Agreement
On December 20, 2005, Allergan provided written notice to
Inamed pursuant to the irrevocable offer letter that Allergan
was satisfied with its limited due diligence review of the
Juvederm®
information provided by Inamed and is satisfied with the Inamed
disclosure schedules to the Allergan Merger Agreement. Promptly
following the receipt of such written notice, Inamed executed
and delivered the Allergan Merger Agreement to Allergan.
41
ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT
The following summary describes certain material provisions
of the definitive merger agreement entered into by Allergan,
Offeror and Inamed, a copy of which is attached as Annex A
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. This summary may
not contain all of the information about the Allergan Merger
Agreement that is important to Inamed stockholders, and Inamed
stockholders are encouraged to read the Allergan Merger
Agreement carefully in its entirety. The legal rights and
obligations of the parties are governed by the specific language
of the Allergan Merger Agreement, and not this summary.
The Offer
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for the making of the
Offer. Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, the obligation of
Offeror to accept for exchange and to exchange Inamed Shares for
cash and shares of Allergan common stock tendered pursuant to
the Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
These conditions are described under The Offer
Conditions of the Offer below.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror:
|
|
|
|
|
shall extend the Offer from time to time in increments of no
more than 10 business days each, if at the initial or any
subsequent scheduled expiration date any of the conditions of
the Offer have not been satisfied or waived; |
|
|
|
shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule,
regulation or interpretation of the SEC applicable to the Offer;
and |
|
|
|
may extend the Offer one time for up to five business days if
less than 90% of the Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis have
not been validly tendered at the scheduled expiration date. |
The Inamed Merger
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Offeror
with and into Inamed. As a result of the Inamed Merger, Offeror
will cease to exist and Inamed will continue as the corporation
surviving the Inamed Merger. After the Inamed Merger, the
Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of
Allergan and the former Inamed stockholders will not have any
equity ownership interest in the Surviving Corporation.
The Post-Closing Merger
As promptly as practicable after the Inamed Merger, Allergan
intends to cause the Surviving Corporation to merge with and
into a wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of
Allergan. Immediately before the Post-Closing Merger, Allergan
will be the sole stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, and
none of the former Inamed stockholders will have any economic
interest in, or approval or other rights with respect to, the
Post-Closing Merger.
Completion and Effectiveness of the Inamed Merger
The closing of the Inamed Merger will occur on the second
business day after all of the conditions to completion of the
Inamed Merger contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement,
including the condition that the Offer shall have been
completed, are satisfied or waived, unless the parties agree
otherwise in writing (see Conditions to Completion
of the Merger below). The Inamed Merger will become
effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Merger Consideration
Upon completion of the Inamed Merger, each Inamed Share
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Inamed Merger will be cancelled and extinguished and converted
into the right to receive,
42
at the election of the holder (a) $84.00 in cash, without
interest, or (b) 0.8498 of a share of Allergan common stock
(including the associated preferred stock purchase rights), in
each case subject to proration. This consideration will be paid
upon surrender of the stock certificate formerly representing
the cancelled Inamed Shares in the manner provided in the
Allergan Merger Agreement. Any holder of Inamed Shares who has
not submitted a letter of election and transmittal within
30 days after the letters of election and transmittal are
sent to former Inamed stockholders, will be deemed to have made
no election. Inamed Shares held by stockholders who validly
exercise and perfect appraisal rights will be subject to
appraisal in accordance with Delaware law as described further
below under Appraisal Rights.
The maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to the
Inamed Merger will be:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 multiplied by 45% of the
total number of Inamed Shares canceled pursuant to the Inamed
Merger, minus the cash value of any shares held by Inamed
stockholders who validly exercise appraisal rights (this amount
is sometimes referred to as the maximum cash merger
consideration).
|
The maximum aggregate number of shares of Allergan common stock
payable pursuant to the Inamed Merger shall be:
|
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of Allergan
common stock multiplied by 55% of the total number of Inamed
Shares canceled pursuant to the Inamed Merger (this amount is
sometimes referred to as the maximum stock merger
consideration).
|
The stock merger consideration, together with the cash merger
consideration, is sometimes referred to in this prospectus as
the merger consideration. The percentages of cash
and stock consideration issued pursuant to the Inamed Merger
also may be subject to adjustments to the extent necessary to
protect the treatment of the Offer, the Inamed Merger and the
Post-Closing Merger, collectively, as a reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Code, as provided in the Allergan
Merger Agreement.
Upon completion of the Inamed Merger, each Inamed Share held by
Allergan or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Allergan, including Offeror, immediately prior to the Inamed
Merger will be automatically cancelled and extinguished, without
consideration.
Although Inamed Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in
connection with the Offer, Inamed Shares held by Inamed
stockholders who properly demand payment for such shares in
compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL will not be
converted into the right to receive the merger consideration,
but instead will be converted into the right to receive such
consideration as may be determined to be due to such stockholder
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. However, if any Inamed
stockholder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or
loses the right to receive payment under Section 262, then
that Inamed stockholder will not be paid in accordance with
Section 262 and the Inamed Shares held by that Inamed
stockholder will be exchangeable solely for the right to receive
the merger consideration as set forth in the Allergan Merger
Agreement.
Exchange of Inamed Stock Certificates for the Merger
Consideration
Allergan has retained Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the depositary
and exchange agent for the Inamed Merger to handle the exchange
of Inamed Shares for the merger consideration. Wells Fargo also
will effect any sales of fractional shares in the public markets
and will pay the proceeds of such sales to the stockholders on
whose behalf such fractional shares are sold, as provided in the
Allergan Merger Agreement.
After the effective time of the Inamed Merger, each stock
certificate formerly representing Inamed Shares that has not
been surrendered will represent only the right to receive upon
such surrender the merger consideration to which such holder is
entitled by virtue of the Inamed Merger and any dividends or
other distributions payable to such holder upon such surrender.
From and after the effective time of the Inamed Merger, Inamed
will not register any transfers of Inamed Shares that were
outstanding on its stock transfer books prior to the Inamed
Merger.
43
To effect the exchange of Inamed Shares, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective time of the Inamed Merger, the
exchange agent will mail to each record holder of Inamed Shares
a letter of election and transmittal and instructions for
surrendering the stock certificates that formerly represented
Inamed Shares for the merger consideration. After surrender to
the exchange agent of certificates that formerly represented
Inamed Shares for cancellation, together with an executed letter
of election and transmittal, the record holder of the
surrendered certificates will be entitled to receive the merger
consideration.
Fractional Shares
Allergan will not issue fractional shares of Allergan common
stock in the Inamed Merger. Instead, each holder of Inamed
Shares who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional
shares of Allergan common stock in the Inamed Merger will be
entitled to an amount of cash (without interest) equal to such
holders respective proportionate share of the proceeds
from the sale of the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan
common stock issued pursuant to the Inamed Merger made in the
open market by the exchange agent on behalf of all such holders.
Top-Up Option
Subject to certain terms and conditions in the Allergan Merger
Agreement, Offeror has an irrevocable option to purchase up to
that number of Inamed Shares equal to the lowest number of
Inamed Shares that, when added to the number of Inamed Shares
collectively owned by Allergan, Offeror and any of
Allergans other subsidiaries immediately following
consummation of the Offer, shall constitute 90% of the Inamed
Shares then outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, after giving
effect to any exercise of the Top-Up option) at a
purchase price per Inamed Share of $84.00. The purchase price
may be paid in cash, shares of Allergan common stock, a
promissory note, or a combination thereof.
The Top-Up option may not be exercised if the aggregate number
of Inamed Shares issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up option,
plus the aggregate number of then-outstanding Inamed Shares,
plus the aggregate number of Inamed Shares issuable upon
exercise of all options and other rights to purchase Inamed
Shares, plus the aggregate number of shares reserved for
issuance pursuant to Inameds stock plans, would exceed the
number of then-authorized Inamed Shares.
Conditions to Completion of the Offer
Pursuant to the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror
is not required to accept for exchange or exchange any Inamed
Shares and may postpone the acceptance for exchange of or
exchange of, tendered Inamed Shares, if at the time of the
scheduled expiration date of the Offer certain conditions are
not met, and Offeror may, in its reasonable discretion (but
subject to the requirements of applicable laws) terminate or
amend the Offer in accordance with the Allergan Merger Agreement
if, certain conditions are not met. These conditions to the
Offer are set forth in The OfferConditions of the
Offer below.
Conditions to the Inamed Merger
In addition to the completion of the Offer, the respective
obligations of Inamed, Allergan and Offeror to complete the
Inamed Merger under the Allergan Merger Agreement are subject to
the satisfaction of the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
if required by the DGCL, the
Allergan Merger Agreement will have been adopted by the
stockholders of Inamed in accordance with the DGCL;
|
|
|
|
no judgment, injunction, order or
decree of a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction will
be in effect that has the effect of making the Inamed Merger or
the Post-Closing Merger illegal or otherwise restraining or
prohibiting the consummation of the Inamed Merger or the
Post-Closing Merger;
|
|
|
|
all consents, approvals, orders or
authorizations from, and all material declarations, filings and
registrations with, any governmental entity required to
consummate the Inamed Merger and the Post-
|
44
|
|
|
|
|
Closing Merger will have been obtained or made, except for such
consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, material
declarations, filings and registrations, the failure of which to
be obtained or made would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect
(for purposes of this clause, after giving effect to the Inamed
Merger); |
|
|
|
no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement will be in effect and no proceedings for such purpose
will be pending before the SEC; and |
|
|
|
Offeror will have exchanged Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer
(provided that this will not be a condition to Allergans
and Offerors obligations if Offeror has failed to exchange
the Inamed Shares in violation of the Allergan Merger Agreement). |

No Solicitation of Other Offers by Inamed
Under the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, subject to
certain exceptions described below, Inamed has agreed that it
and its subsidiaries, and directors, officers and employees of

|
|
|
|
|
solicit, initiate, encourage or
induce any inquiry regarding, or the making, submission or
announcement of, any proposal to acquire Inamed;
|
|
|
|
participate in any discussions or

|
|
|
|
enter into any letter of intent or
similar document or contract contemplating or otherwise relating
to a proposal to acquire Inamed.
|
In addition, under the Allergan Merger Agreement Inamed has

reasonable best efforts to cause its and its respective
subsidiaries, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers,
financial advisors, agents and other representatives to cease,
any and all existing discussions or negotiations with respect to
any proposal to acquire Inamed.
45
For purposes of the restrictions described above, a
proposal to acquire Inamed is any offer or proposal
with respect to a potential or proposed:
|
|
|
|
|
merger, consolidation, business
combination or similar transaction involving Inamed or any of
its significant subsidiaries pursuant to which Inameds
stockholders immediately prior to such transaction would own
less than 85% of the aggregate voting power of the entity
surviving or resulting from such transaction (or the ultimate
parent entity thereof);
|
|
|
|
sale, lease, exclusive license or
other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger,
consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint
venture or otherwise of the assets of Inamed or its subsidiaries
representing 15% or more of the consolidated assets of Inamed
and its subsidiaries;
|

|
|
|
|
transaction in which any person or
group of persons acquires beneficial ownership, or the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of, 15% or more of the outstanding
voting capital stock of Inamed; or
|
|
|
|
any combination of the above
(other than the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing
Merger).
|
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed is obligated to
notify Allergan in writing within 48 hours after receiving
any proposal to acquire Inamed or any request for nonpublic
information or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead
to any proposal to acquire Inamed. The notice must include the
material terms and conditions of the potential proposal, and the
identity of the person making the proposal. Inamed also must
promptly keep Allergan informed of the status and details of the
proposal, and must provide Allergan with a copy of all written
materials provided in connection with such proposal.
Notwithstanding the prohibitions described above, if Inamed
receives an unsolicited bona fide written proposal to acquire
Inamed made after the Allergan Merger Agreement is executed,
Inamed is permitted to participate or engage in discussions or
negotiations with, and provide information to, the party making
the proposal to acquire Inamed as long as:
|
|
|
|
|
Inameds board of directors
determines in good faith, after consulting with an independent
financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such proposal
constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior
proposal as compared to the transaction with Allergan; and
|
|
|
|
prior to providing any such
information, the person making the proposal to acquire Inamed
enters into a confidentiality agreement containing terms at
least as restrictive as the terms of the confidentiality
agreement between Allergan and Inamed and, contemporaneously
with furnishing any nonpublic information to such person, Inamed
furnishes any such nonpublic information to Allergan.
|
Prior to providing any information to, or participating in
discussions or negotiations with, the person making the proposal
to acquire Inamed, Inamed must provide written notice to
Allergan and otherwise comply with the notice and information
delivery requirements described above.
A superior proposal for purposes of the Allergan
Merger Agreement is an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made
by a potential acquirer to acquire, directly or indirectly,
pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger,
consolidation or other business combination, all or
substantially all of the assets of Inamed, or a majority of the
total outstanding voting securities of Inamed and as a result of
which the stockholders of Inamed immediately preceding the
transaction would hold less than 50% of the equity interests in
the surviving or resulting entity or its parent or subsidiary,
on terms that are more favorable to Inameds stockholders
than the terms of the Offer and the Inamed Merger, taking into
account, among other matters, all legal, financial, regulatory
and other aspects of such offer and the person making the
proposal.
Upon delivering notice to Allergan of Inameds receipt of a
superior proposal, and if requested by Allergan, Inamed must
negotiate in good faith with Allergan to revise the terms of the
Allergan Merger Agreement to be superior to those in the
purportedly superior proposal to acquire Inamed.

Changes of Recommendation
The Allergan Merger Agreement contemplates that the Inamed board
of directors will recommend that Inamed stockholders tender
their Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer and adopt and approve
the Allergan Merger Agreement.
The Inamed board of directors or any committee thereof may not:
|
|
|
|
|
withdraw or modify, or publicly
propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Allergan,
the recommendation with respect to the Offer and the adoption
and approval of the definitive merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
approve any letter of intent,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar
agreement relating to any proposal to acquire Inamed; or
|
|
|
|
approve or recommend, or publicly
propose to approve or recommend, any proposal to acquire Inamed.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Inamed board of directors may
take such actions if, prior to receipt of the approval of
stockholders necessary to complete the Inamed Merger:
|
|
|
|
|
the board of directors determines
in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel,
that the failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation would
reasonably be likely to constitute a violation of its fiduciary
duties under applicable law;
|
|
|
|
Inamed notifies Allergan in
writing of its determination that the failure to withdraw or
modify its recommendation would reasonably be likely to
constitute a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable
law; and
|
|
|
|
in the case of any actions taken
in connection with a proposal to acquire Inamed, at least five
business days following receipt by Allergan of the written
notice of the determination of Inameds board of directors
that the failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation would
be reasonably likely to constitute a violation of the
directors fiduciary duties under applicable law, and
taking into account any revised proposal made by Allergan after
receiving the notice, Inameds board of directors maintains
such determination.
|
Nothing in the Allergan Merger Agreement prohibits Inamed or its
board of directors from taking and disclosing to Inameds
stockholders a position contemplated by
Rule 14d-9 and
14e-2(a) promulgated
under the Exchange Act. However, the Inamed board of directors
is prohibited from changing its recommendation unless pursuant
to the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement.
Stockholder Approval
Inamed has agreed to convene a meeting of its stockholders as
soon as practicable after the consummation of the Offer, if
required by the DGCL, in order to effect the Inamed Merger.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed may not submit to
the vote of its stockholders any proposal to acquire Inamed from
a third party unless the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated.

Restrictions on Allergans Operations |

person or acquire any material business of any other person if
such action would be reasonably likely to delay the consummation
of the Offer;

|
take any action or omit to take
any action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to
result in any of the conditions to the Offer or any of the
conditions to the Inamed Merger not being satisfied;
|
|
|
|
take any action that would result
in a failure to maintain trading of Allergan common stock on the
NYSE; or
|
|
|
|
agree, authorize or otherwise to
take any of the foregoing actions.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Allergan Merger Agreement
expressly permits Allergan to (a) repurchase, retire or
refinance outstanding indebtedness or debt securities and
(b) enter into negotiations, discussions and contracts
relating to, and may consummate, acquisitions of other persons,
so long as (i) the fair market value of the total
consideration does not exceed $500,000,000 individually,
(ii) Allergan does not issue in excess of 20% of the then
outstanding Allergan common stock as consideration in any such
transaction and (iii) the negotiation or consummation of
any such acquisition is not reasonably likely to materially
delay or prevent the completion of the Offer or the Inamed
Merger.

|
|
Restrictions on Inameds Operations |
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for certain restrictions

its customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, and other
persons with which it has business relationships.
|
In addition, the Allergan Merger Agreement provides that, prior
to the completion of the Inamed Merger, unless otherwise

actions. |
Access to Information; Confidentiality
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that during the period
prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger, Allergan and
Inamed will, and will cause each of their subsidiaries to,
afford to the other party and its representatives reasonable
access during normal business hours to their respective
officers, employees, representatives, properties, books,
contracts, commitments, files and records, except that neither
party is required to provide the other party with any
information that it reasonably believes it can not deliver to
the other party due to contractual or legal restrictions, or
which it believes is competitively sensitive information. In
addition, Inamed must consult with Allergan regarding its
business in a prompt manner and on a regular basis.
Inamed must also provide to Allergans financial advisor
reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable
notice throughout the period prior to the effective time of the
Inamed Merger to Inameds officers, employees,
representatives, properties, books, contracts, commitments,
files and records and furnish promptly such information
concerning Inameds business, properties and personnel as
Allergans financial advisor reasonably requests for the
purposes of conducting a customary underwriter due diligence
investigation.
Antitrust Approval
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan and Inamed are to
cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to:
|
|
|
|
|
obtain any government clearances
or approvals required for the consummation of the Offer or the
closing of the Inamed Merger under the HSR Act, and any other
federal, state or foreign law or decree designed to prohibit,
restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of
monopolization or restraint of trade, which we refer to herein
collectively as the antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to obtain the expiration of any
applicable waiting period under any antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to respond to any government
requests for information under any antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to contest and resist any action,
and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree,
judgment, injunction or other order that restricts, prevents or
prohibits the consummation of the Inamed Merger or any other
transactions contemplated by the Allergan Merger Agreement under
any antitrust laws.
|
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will determine and
direct the strategy and process by which the parties will seek
required approvals under antitrust laws; provided that Allergan
will consult with and consider in good faith the views of Inamed
in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations,
memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or
submitted in connection with proceedings under or relating to
any antitrust laws.
51
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the Allergan Merger
Agreement, neither Allergan nor Inamed are required to:
|
|
|
|
|
license, divest, dispose of or
hold separate any material assets or businesses or otherwise
take or commit to take any action that limits in any material
respect its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to
retain, any of its material assets or businesses or that would
have a material adverse effect on the combined company;
|
|
|
|
agree to or effect any license,
divestiture, disposition or hold separate any business or take
any other action or agree to any limitation that is not
conditioned on the consummation of the Offer or the Inamed
Merger; or
|
|
|
|
pay more than de minimis amounts
in connection with seeking or obtaining the consents, approvals
or authorizations under antitrust laws required to complete the
Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing Merger.
|
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Inamed will not take
or agree to take any of the foregoing actions without the prior
written consent of Allergan, and, if so requested by Allergan,
Inamed must use reasonable best efforts to effect any license,
divestiture, disposition or hold separate of any of
Inameds assets or businesses necessary to obtain
clearances or approvals required under the antitrust laws,
provided that such action is conditioned on the consummation of
the Offer.
Inamed Benefit Plans
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
each outstanding option under the Inamed stock plans will become
fully vested and exercisable. At the effective time of the
Inamed Merger and without any action on the part of the parties
to the Allergan Merger Agreement or any holder of such stock
options, each then outstanding option will be canceled and
converted into and will thereafter represent only the right to
receive an amount of cash equal to 45% of the in the
money value of the option and a number of shares of
Allergan common stock with a value equal to 55% of the in
the money value of the option.
In lieu of any fractional shares of Allergan common stock that
otherwise would be issuable with respect to canceled Inamed
options, Inamed option holders will receive an amount in cash
(without interest) equal to such holders respective
proportionate interest in the proceeds from the sale or sales in
the open market by the exchange agent for the Inamed Merger, on
behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional shares
of Allergan common stock otherwise issuable with respect to
cancelled Inamed options.
The amount of cash and number of shares of Allergan common stock
to which an option holder otherwise would be entitled pursuant
to the Inamed Merger will be reduced by the total amount of
withholding for applicable taxes with respect to the aggregate
options canceled and converted into the right to receive cash
and Allergan common stock. Amounts for withholding will first be
deducted from the amounts of cash otherwise payable to the
option holder and, to the extent additional withholding is
required, the number of shares of Allergan common stock
otherwise deliverable will be reduced by the amount of remaining
withholding.
|
|
|
Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed will be required to
take all requisite action with respect to its 2000 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, to ensure that:
|
|
|
|
|
all outstanding purchase rights
will be exercised no later than three business days prior to the
expiration date of the Offer;
|
|
|
|
no purchase rights will be issued
and outstanding as of the expiration date of the Offer;
|
52
|
|
|
|
|
conditioned upon the occurrence of
the closing of the Inamed Merger, the Inamed ESPP will be
terminated no later than the effective time of the Inamed
Merger; and
|
|
|
|
no additional offering periods
shall commence on or after the expiration date of the Offer.
|
Inamed must deliver to Allergan prior to the expiration date of
the Offer evidence that the Inamed ESPP will be terminated as of
the effective time of the Inamed Merger, conditioned upon the
occurrence of the closing of the Inamed Merger.
All outstanding rights that Inamed may hold immediately prior to
the effective time of the Inamed Merger to acquire unvested
Inamed Shares issued pursuant to the Inamed restricted stock
plan will lapse as of the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
such that holders of restricted stock will be entitled to
receive the merger consideration payable pursuant to the Inamed
Merger with respect to their restricted Inamed Shares.
After the Inamed Merger, benefit plans in effect as of the date
of the Allergan Merger Agreement will remain in effect with
respect to employees of Inamed or its subsidiaries covered by
such plans at the time of the Inamed Merger until such time as
Allergan either transfers employees and former employees of
Inamed and its subsidiaries to existing benefit plans of
Allergan or Offeror or adopts a new benefit plan. Prior to the
Inamed Merger, Allergan and Inamed are to cooperate in
reviewing, evaluating and analyzing Inamed benefit plans with a
view towards determining appropriate transferred employee plans.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will, and will
cause its subsidiaries to, with respect to all transferred
employee plans, to the extent applicable immediately prior to
the effective time of the Inamed Merger:
|
|
|
|
|
provide each employee of Inamed
with service or other credit for all limitations as to
preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods under any
transferred employee plan;
|
|
|
|
provide each employee with credit
for any co-payments and deductibles;
|
|
|
|
provide each employee with credit
for all service for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit
accruals (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit
pension plan); and
|
|
|
|
provide benefits under medical,
dental, vision and similar health and welfare plans that are in
the aggregate no less favorable than those provided to similarly
situated employees of Allergan.
|
If requested by Allergan at least seven days prior to the
effective time of the Inamed Merger, Inamed will terminate any
and all benefit plans intended to qualify under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, effective not
later than the last business day immediately preceding the
effective time of the Inamed Merger.
Directors and Officers Indemnification
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and will cause Offeror to,
honor all of Inameds obligations to indemnify its current
or former directors or officers for acts or omissions by such
directors and officers occurring prior to the effective time of
the Inamed Merger. In addition, for a period of six years
following the effective time of the Inamed Merger, the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Offeror must contain
provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification and
exculpation of present and former directors and officers of
Inamed than are presently set forth in Inameds and its
subsidiaries certificates of incorporation and bylaws.
For six years after the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will cause to be
maintained in effect the current policies of directors and
officers liability insurance maintained by Inamed,
although Allergan may substitute policies of at least the same
coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
no less advantageous with respect to claims arising from or
related to facts or events which occurred at or before the
effective time of the Inamed Merger. However, Allergan is
53
not obligated to make annual premium payments for this insurance
if the premiums exceed 200% of the annual premiums paid as of
the date of the Allergan Merger Agreement by Inamed for such
insurance. If the insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all,
or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the
maximum premium, Allergan will maintain the most advantageous
policies of directors and officers insurance
obtainable for an annual premium equal to 200% of the annual
premiums paid by Inamed.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, instead of the insurance
described above, effective as of the effective time of the
Inamed Merger, Allergan may require Inamed to purchase a
directors and officers liability insurance
tail or runoff insurance program for a
period of six years after the effective time of the Inamed
Merger with respect to wrongful acts or omissions committed or
allegedly committed at or prior to the effective time of the
Inamed Merger instead of providing the insurance coverage
described above.
Financing; Allergan Guarantee
Prior to the closing of the Inamed Merger, Allergan must obtain
all financing required for the transactions contemplated by the
Allergan Merger Agreement. Allergan will guarantee any payment
by Offeror of any amounts payable by Offeror pursuant to the
Offer and the Inamed Merger or otherwise pursuant to the
Allergan Merger Agreement.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed must use its
reasonable best efforts to cooperate in connection with the
arrangement of any financing, including reasonable participation
in meetings and road shows, the provision of information
reasonably requested by Allergan and reasonable assistance in
the preparation of any offering memoranda, private placement
memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents prepared by
Allergan.
Post-Closing Merger
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that, as soon as
reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Inamed
Merger, Allergan will cause the surviving corporation to adopt
an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization whereby
Inamed will be merged with and into a wholly owned limited
liability company subsidiary of Allergan, with the limited
liability company surviving the Post-Closing Merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allergan. There are no conditions to this
Post-Closing Merger, other than:
|
|
|
|
|
the acquisition of Inamed Shares
pursuant to the Offer;
|
|
|
|
the consummation of the Inamed
Merger; and
|
|
|
|
the absence of any legal
prohibitions on completing the Post-Closing Merger.
|
Termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement
|
|
|
Termination by Allergan or Inamed |
The Allergan Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time
before the effective time of the Inamed Merger:
|
|
|
|
|
by mutual written consent of
Allergan and Inamed;
|
|
|
|
by either Allergan or Inamed, if:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not completed by
February 28, 2006, subject to extension until
March 30, 2006 by either party if all other conditions to
the Offer are satisfied or capable of being satisfied and the
only reason the Offer has not been completed is that required
antitrust approvals have not been obtained and Allergan or
Inamed are still attempting to obtain such necessary consents or
approvals or are contesting either the refusal of applicable
governmental entities to give such required consents or
approvals or the entry of a judgment, injunction, order or
decree regarding the same. This termination right is not
available to any party whose breach of any provision of the
Allergan Merger Agreement has caused or resulted in the failure
of the Offer to be consummated by such termination date; or
|
54
|
|
|
|
|
if any governmental entity shall
have issued a final order, decree or ruling or taken any other
final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
consummation of the Offer or the Inamed Merger and such order,
decree, ruling or other action is or has become final and
nonappealable. This termination right is not available to any
party whose breach of any provision of the Allergan Merger
Agreement is the cause of or resulted in such order, decree,
ruling or other action.
|
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan may terminate the
Allergan Merger Agreement if:
|
|
|
|
|
there has been a breach by Inamed
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement that would result in
a failure of a condition to the Offer that is not waived by
Offeror; provided, that Allergan must first give Inamed prior
written notice of Allergans intent to terminate the
Allergan Merger Agreement and Inamed must not have cured the
applicable breach within ten business days or, if sooner, by one
business day prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
(i) Inameds board of
directors effects a Company Change of Recommendation (as defined
in the Allergan Merger Agreement) or resolves to do so;
(ii) Inameds board of directors approves or
recommends to Inameds stockholders another proposal to
acquire Inamed or resolved to do so; or (iii) a tender
offer or exchange offer for Inamed Shares is commenced (other
than by Allergan or any of its affiliates) and Inameds
board of directors recommends that Inameds stockholders
tender their shares in such tender offer or exchange offer or
Inameds board of directors fails to recommend that
Inameds stockholders reject such tender offer or exchange
offer within seven business days after receipt of
Allergans request to do so.
|
Inamed may terminate the Allergan Merger Agreement if:
|
|
|
|
|
Allergan fails to consummate the
Offer in breach of the Allergan Merger Agreement or if there has
been a breach by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its
representations and warranties, except where the failure of such
representations and warranties to be true and correct (without
giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or
Parent Material Adverse Effect set forth therein)
would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent
Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Allergan Merger
Agreement), or (y) its covenants and agreements contained
in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material respect,
provided, that Inamed must first give Allergan prior written
notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and Allergan must not have cured the applicable breach
within ten business days or, if sooner, by one business day
prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
prior to consummation of the
Offer, upon or following a Company Change in Recommendation or
otherwise in order to enter into a definitive agreement with
respect to or otherwise to accept a superior proposal, in either
case as permitted by the Allergan Merger Agreement and subject
to the timely payment in full of any termination fees payable by
Inamed pursuant to the Allergan Merger Agreement.
|
Termination Fees and Expenses
Except as set forth below, all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Allergan Merger Agreement will be paid by
the party incurring the same.
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Inamed will pay
Allergan $10 million within two business days following
termination if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Allergan due to Inameds
55
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
which would result in a failure of a condition to the Offer that
is not waived by Offeror; provided that Allergan has given
Inamed prior written notice of Allergans intent to
terminate the Allergan Merger Agreement and Inamed has not cured
the applicable breach within ten business days or, if sooner, by
one business day prior to the termination date.
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Inamed will pay
Allergan a termination fee of $100 million, less any amount
previously paid as specified above, at the earlier of the date
that Inamed enters into a definitive agreement providing for an
acquisition of Inamed or the date of the consummation of such a
transaction if:
|
|
|
|
|
prior to consummation of the
Offer, any person publicly announces a proposal to acquire
Inamed which has not been expressly and bona fide publicly
withdrawn;
|
|
|
|
the Allergan Merger Agreement is
terminated by either Inamed or Allergan (i) because the
Offer has not been consummated on or before February 28,
2006 (or March 30, 2006 if extended) and at the time of
termination, the registration statement has become effective and
Inamed has not performed in all material respects all of its
obligations required to be performed by it pursuant to the
Allergan Merger Agreement at or prior to the completion of the
Offer or there shall not have been validly tendered prior to the
expiration date of the Offer at least a majority of the
outstanding Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis or
(ii) by Allergan as a result of a breach by Inamed of a
covenant or other affirmation obligation that would result in
the failure of a condition to the Offer; and
|
|
|
|
within 12 months after the
date of termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed
enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an
acquisition of Inamed or consummates such a transaction.
|
The Allergan Merger Agreement further provides that Inamed will
pay Allergan a termination fee of $100 million within two
business days following termination of the Allergan Merger
Agreement if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Allergan because:
|
|
|
|
|
the Inamed board of directors
effects a Company Change of Recommendation (as defined in the
Allergan Merger Agreement), or resolves to do so;
|
|
|
|
the Inamed board of directors
approves or recommends to Inamed stockholders a proposal to
acquire Inamed, or resolves to do so; or
|
|
|
|
a tender or exchange offer for
Inamed Shares is commenced (other than by Allergan or any of its
affiliates) and the Inamed board of directors recommends that
the Inamed stockholders tender their shares in such tender or
exchange offer or fails to recommend that the Inamed
stockholders reject such tender or exchange offer within seven
business days after receipt of Allergans request
to do so.
|
Inamed will also pay Allergan a termination fee of
$100 million concurrently with the termination of the
Allergan Merger Agreement if the Allergan Merger Agreement is
terminated by Inamed prior to the completion of the Offer, upon
or following a Company Change of Recommendation or otherwise in
order for Inamed to enter into a definitive agreement with
respect to or otherwise to accept a proposal to acquire Inamed.
Allergan Termination
Fees
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Allergan will pay
Inamed $10 million within two business days following
termination if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Inamed because (i) Allergan fails to consummate the Offer
in breach of the Allergan Merger Agreement, or (ii) there
has been a breach by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its
representations and warranties contained in the Allergan Merger
Agreement, except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any
limitation as to materiality or Parent
Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent Material
Adverse Effect, or (y) its covenants and agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material
respect; provided that Inamed has given Allergan prior written
notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and
56
Allergan has not cured the applicable breach within ten business
days, or, if sooner, by one business day prior to the
termination date.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will also pay
Inamed a termination fee of $90 million, in addition to any
amount previously paid as specified above, within two business
days following the date of termination if:
|
|
|
|
|
Inamed has been required to pay
Medicis the $90 million termination fee under the Medicis
merger agreement; and
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not consummated and
Inamed terminates the Allergan Merger Agreement because
(i) Allergan fails to consummate the Offer in breach of the
Allergan Merger Agreement, or (ii) there has been a breach
by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its representations and
warranties, except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any
limitation as to materiality or Parent
Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent Material
Adverse Effect, or (y) its covenants and agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material
respect; provided that Inamed has given Allergan prior written
notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and Allergan has not cured the applicable breach
within ten business days, or, if sooner, by one business day
prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not consummated on or
prior to the termination date and the antitrust conditions in
the Allergan Merger Agreement have not been satisfied (unless
such conditions have not been satisfied because Inamed has been
unable to divest the Reloxin Assets as contemplated in the
Allergan Merger Agreement).
|
Inamed will not be entitled to such Allergan termination fees if
Inamed elects to file suit or otherwise seeks to recover money
damages from Allergan.
Effect of Termination
In the event of termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement
prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger in accordance
with the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, the Allergan
Merger Agreement will become void, and there shall be no
liability or further obligation on the part of Allergan,
Offeror, or Inamed, except to the extent that the termination
results from the willful and material breach by a party of the
Allergan Merger Agreement, and other than the payment of fees
and expenses described above under Termination Fees
and Expenses, certain provisions relating to
confidentiality, and certain general provisions which will
survive the termination.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Allergan will use
all reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Allergan common
stock to be issued pursuant to the Offer and in the Inamed
Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to
official notice of issuance.
Tax Treatment
Allergan and Inamed intend the Inamed Merger, taken together
with the Offer and the Post-Closing Merger, to qualify for
United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Each of Allergan, Offeror and Inamed shall use its
best efforts to cause the Inamed Merger, taken together with the
Offer and the Post-Closing Merger, to qualify as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Allergan, Offeror,
Company, or their respective subsidiaries shall take, or agree
to take, any action (including any action otherwise permitted by
the Allergan Merger Agreement) that could prevent or impede the
Inamed Merger, taken together with the Offer and the
Post-Closing Merger, from qualifying as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code.
57
Amendments, Extensions and Waivers
The Allergan Merger Agreement may be amended by the parties at
any time before or after any Inamed stockholder approval has
been obtained; provided that after the Inamed stockholders adopt
the Allergan Merger Agreement and approve the Inamed Merger, the
Allergen Merger Agreement cannot be amended if by law further
approval of the stockholders is required, without such approval.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, at any time prior to the
effective time of the Inamed Merger, any party may:
|
|
|
|
|
extend the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other
parties;
|
|
|
|
waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties of the other parties; or
|
|
|
|
waive compliance by the other
parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained in
the Allergan Merger Agreement (except for those conditions not
waivable pursuant to the Allergan Merger Agreement); provided
that after the Inamed stockholders adopt the Allergan Merger
Agreement and approve the Inamed Merger, no waiver can be given
if by law further approval by the Inamed stockholders is
required, without such approval.
|
58
THE OFFER
Offeror is offering to exchange each outstanding Inamed Share
for cash or Allergan common stock, at the election of the
tendering Inamed stockholder, subject to the conditions
contained in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of
election and transmittal.
Offeror is making the Offer in order for Allergan to acquire
control of, and ultimately the entire equity interest in,
Inamed. The Offer is the first step in Allergans
acquisition of Inamed and is intended to facilitate the
acquisition of all Inamed Shares. Allergan intends to seek to
complete the Inamed Merger as soon as possible after completion
of the Offer. Promptly after the Inamed Merger, Allergan will
consummate the Post-Closing Merger.
Consideration
Under the terms of the Offer, each Inamed stockholder will have
the opportunity to elect to receive, for each Inamed Share
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, either:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 in cash, without
interest; or
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of newly issued
Allergan common stock,
|
subject to the proration and election procedures described in
this prospectus and the related letter of election and
transmittal.
In the Offer:
|
|
|
|
|
45% of the aggregate Inamed Shares
tendered in the Offer will be exchanged for cash, and
|
|
|
|
55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares
tendered in the Offer will be exchanged for shares of Allergan
common stock;
|
therefore, elections will be subject to proration if tendering
holders of Inamed Shares, in the aggregate, elect to receive
more than the maximum amount of consideration to be paid as cash
or shares of Allergan common stock.
Based on the closing price of Allergan common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange on December 21, 2005, the most recent
practicable date prior to the date of this prospectus, 0.8498 of
an Allergan share had a value of $91.19 per share. The
value of 0.8498 of an Allergan share will fluctuate prior to the
expiration date of the Offer as the market price of Allergan
common stock changes. At Allergan share prices of $98.85 and
above, the value of 0.8498 of an Allergan share will exceed the
cash offer of $84.00 per Inamed Share, and at Allergan share
prices below $98.85, the cash offer will exceed the value of
0.8498 of an Allergan share.
59
Solely for purposes of illustration, the following table
reflects the per share amount of cash and the market value of
the Allergan common stock that an Inamed stockholder would
receive for each Inamed Share tendered pursuant to the Offer if
exactly 55% of the Inamed Shares tendered by the stockholder
were exchanged for Allergan common stock and 45% of such shares
were exchanged for cash. This would be the case, for example, if
all tendering Inamed stockholders made the same election for
either cash or Allergan shares. In that circumstance, each
Inamed Share would be exchanged, on average, for $37.80 in cash
(i.e. 45% of $84.00) and 0.46739 shares (i.e. 55% of 0.8498) of
Allergan common stock. The table indicates the relative value,
in that circumstance, of the two forms of consideration at
different market values for the Allergan shares.

The market prices of Allergan common stock used in the above
table, and the assumptions regarding the mix of cash and/or
stock a hypothetical Inamed stockholder would receive are for
purposes of illustration only. The price of Allergan common
stock fluctuates and may be higher or lower than in these
examples at the time the Offer is completed. In addition, due to
the proration mechanisms in the Offer, the elections of other
Inamed stockholders will impact whether a tendering Inamed
stockholder receives the type of consideration elected, or is
prorated so that a portion of such stockholders tendered
shares are exchanged for another form of consideration.
Inamed stockholders should consider the potential effects of
proration and should obtain current market quotations for shares
of Allergan common stock and Inamed Shares before deciding
whether to tender pursuant to the Offer and before electing the
form of Offer consideration they wish to receive.
Elections and Proration
If Inamed stockholders elect to receive more than the aggregate
amount of cash or shares of Allergan common stock available in
the Offer, the total cash or stock, as the case may be, will be
proportioned among the stockholders who elect each form of
consideration as follows:
|
|
|
Over-Election of Allergan Common Stock |
The maximum aggregate shares of Allergan common stock issuable
pursuant to the Offer shall be:
|
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of Allergan
common stock multiplied by
|
|
|
|
55% of the total number of Inamed
Shares that are tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to
the Offer.
|
If holders of Inamed Shares elect to receive shares of Allergan
common stock in excess of the maximum aggregate shares of
Allergan common stock issuable pursuant to the Offer, then:
|
|
|
|
|
all Inamed Shares covered by
elections to receive cash and all Inamed Shares for which no
election was made will be exchanged for $84.00 per share in
cash; and
|
60
|
|
|
|
|
for each election to receive
shares of Allergan common stock:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the number of Inamed Shares subject to such election that will
be converted into the right to receive shares of Allergan common
stock shall be: |
|
|
|
|
|
the total number of Inamed Shares subject to such election to
receive Allergan common stock multiplied by |
|
|
|
a fraction: |
|
|
|
|
|
the numerator of which shall be
the maximum number of shares of Allergan common stock issuable
in the Offer, and
|
|
|
|
the denominator of which shall be
the product of the aggregate number of Inamed Shares subject to
all elections to receive Allergan common stock, multiplied by
0.8498,
|
rounded down to the nearest Inamed Share.
|
|
|
|
|
all other Inamed Shares subject to
such election, other than that number converted into the right
to receive shares of Allergan common stock as set forth above,
shall be converted into the right to receive $84.00 in cash.
|
All such prorations shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such
that each Inamed stockholder who tenders Inamed Shares subject
to an election to receive Allergan common stock bears its
proportionate share of the proration.
The maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to the
Offer shall be:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 multiplied by
|
|
|
|
45% of the total number of Inamed
Shares that are tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to
the Offer.
|
If holders of Inamed Shares elect to receive cash in excess of
the maximum aggregate amount of cash payable in the Offer, then:
|
|
|
|
|
all Inamed Shares covered by
elections to receive Allergan common stock and all Inamed Shares
for which no election was made will be exchanged for 0.8498 of a
share of Allergan common stock; and
|
|
|
|
for each election to receive cash:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the number of Inamed Shares that
shall be converted into the right to receive cash shall be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the total number of Inamed Shares
subject to such election to receive cash multiplied by
|
|
|
|
a fraction:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the numerator of which shall be
the maximum aggregate cash payable in the Offer, and
|
|
|
|
the denominator of which shall be
the product of the aggregate number of Inamed Shares subject to
all elections to receive cash, multiplied by $84.00,
|
|
|
|
rounded down to the nearest Inamed Share. |
|
|
|
|
|
all other Inamed Shares subject to
such cash election, other than the number converted into the
right to receive cash consideration as set forth above, shall be
converted into the right to receive 0.8498 of a share of
Allergan common stock.
|
All prorations shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such that
each Inamed stockholder who tenders Inamed Shares subject to an
election to receive cash bears its proportionate share of the
proration.
61
|
|
|
Consequences of Tendering with No Election |
Inamed stockholders who do not make an election will be
allocated whatever form of Offer consideration is remaining (or
a proportionate share of each form of Offer consideration if
neither is oversubscribed), after taking into account the
preferences of the tendering stockholders who made valid
elections. If neither form of consideration is oversubscribed,
Inamed stockholders who do not make an election will each
receive the remaining cash and shares of Allergan common stock
on a pro rata basis such that after all Inamed Shares for which
no election is made are exchanged, 45% of the aggregate Inamed
Shares tendered in the Offer will be exchanged for cash and 55%
of the aggregate Inamed Shares tendered in the Offer shall be
exchanged for shares of Allergan common stock.
Inamed stockholders will not receive any fractional shares of
Allergan common stock in the Offer. Instead of receiving any
fractional shares of Allergan common stock to which Inamed
stockholders otherwise would be entitled, they will receive an
amount in cash (without interest) equal to such holders
respective proportionate interest in the proceeds from the sale
or sales in the open market by the exchange agent for the Offer,
on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional
shares of Allergan common stock issued pursuant to the Offer, as
described below in Cash Instead of Fractional Shares of
Allergan Common Stock.

Distribution of Offering Materials |
Pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 14d-5 and
Section 220 of the DGCL, Offeror requested Inamed provide
access to an Inamed stockholder list and security position
listings to communicate with Inamed stockholders and to
distribute the Offer materials to Inamed stockholders. Upon
compliance by Inamed with this request, the prospectus, the
related letter of election and transmittal and other relevant
materials were sent to record holders of Inamed Shares and to
brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and similar
persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on
Inameds stockholder list or, if applicable, who are listed
as participants in a clearing agencys security position
listing, so that they can in turn send these materials to
beneficial owners of Inamed Shares.
Expiration of the Offer
The Offer is currently scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time on Monday, January 9, 2006. The term
expiration date means 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on Monday, January 9, 2006, unless Offeror extends
the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which case
the term expiration date means the latest time and
date on which the Offer, as so extended, expires. For more
information, Inamed stockholders should read the discussion
immediately below under Extension, Termination and
Amendment.
Extension, Termination and Amendment
Offeror is not required to accept for exchange or exchange any
Inamed shares if the conditions of the Offer are not met. Under
the Allergan Merger Agreement Offeror must extend the period of
time during which the Offer remains open in increments of no
more than 10 business days each, if at the scheduled
expiration date, any of the conditions of the Offer have not
been satisfied or waived, and Offeror also must extend the Offer
for any period required by the SEC applicable to the Offer. The
Allergan Merger Agreement provides that the agreement may be
terminated if the Offer has not been consummated on or before
February 28, 2006 (subject to extension until
March 30, 2006, under certain circumstances). See The
Allergan Merger Agreement Termination of the Allergan
Merger Agreement. Offeror may extend the Offer by giving
oral or written notice of such extension to the exchange agent.
During any such extension, all Inamed Shares previously tendered
and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer, subject to
each tendering Inamed stockholders right to withdraw its
Inamed Shares. Inamed stockholders should read the discussion
under Withdrawal Rights for more details.
62
To the extent legally permissible, Offeror also reserves the
right at any time or from time to time:
|
|
|
|
|
to extend the Offer one time only
for up to five business days if less than 90% of the total
Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis have been validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn at the otherwise scheduled
expiration date; and
|
|
|
|
to waive any condition, other than
those not subject to waiver as set forth in
Conditions of the Offer.
|
In addition, Offeror may terminate the Offer and not exchange
Inamed Shares that were previously tendered even if Offeror has
accepted, but not paid for, shares in the Offer, if completion
of the Offer is illegal or if a governmental authority has
commenced or threatened legal action related to the Offer.
Offeror will effect any extension, termination, amendment or
delay by giving oral or written notice to the exchange agent and
by making a public announcement promptly thereafter. In the case
of an extension, any such announcement will be issued no later
than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business
day following the previously scheduled expiration date. Subject
to applicable law (including
Rules 14d-4(c) and
14d-6(d) under the
Exchange Act, which require that any material change in the
information published, sent or given to stockholders in
connection with the Offer be promptly disseminated to
stockholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform them of
such change) and without limiting the manner in which Offeror
may choose to make any public announcement, Offeror assumes no
obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any
such public announcement of this type other than by issuing a
press release to the Dow Jones News Service.
If Offeror materially changes the terms of the Offer or the
information concerning the Offer, or if Offeror waives a
material condition of the Offer, Offeror will extend the Offer
to the extent legally required under the Exchange Act. If, prior
to the expiration date, Offeror changes the percentage of Inamed
Shares being sought or the consideration offered, that change
will apply to all holders whose Inamed Shares are accepted for
exchange pursuant to the Offer. If at the time notice of that
change is first published, sent or given to Inamed stockholders,
the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the
tenth business day from and including the date that such notice
is first so published, sent or given, Offeror will extend the
Offer until the expiration of that ten business day period. For
purposes of the Offer, a business day means any day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday and consists of
the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, New
York City time.
No subsequent offering period will be available after the Offer.
Conditions of the Offer
Pursuant to the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror
is not required to accept for exchange or exchange any Inamed
Shares, may postpone the acceptance for exchange, or exchange,
of tendered Inamed Shares if at the scheduled expiration date of
the Offer any of the conditions to the Offer are not met, and
Offeror may, in its reasonable discretion (but subject to the
requirements of applicable laws) terminate or amend the Offer in
accordance with the Allergan Merger Agreement if the following
conditions are not met. The conditions to the Offer are as
follows:
|
|
|
Accuracy of Representations and Warranties and Covenant
Compliance |
In accordance with the Allergan Merger Agreement:

where the failure of such representations and warranties to be

Exchange of Inamed Shares; Delivery of Cash and Shares of
Allergan Common Stock
Allergan has retained Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the depositary
and exchange agent for the Offer to handle the exchange of
Inamed Shares for the offer consideration, including the sale of
any fractional shares in the public markets and the payment of
the proceeds of such sales to the stockholders on whose behalf
such fractional shares are sold.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and
conditions of any such extension or amendment), Offeror will
accept for exchange, and will exchange, Inamed Shares validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn promptly after the
expiration date. In all cases, exchanges of Inamed Shares
tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer will be
made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of
certificates for those Inamed Shares, or a confirmation of a
book-entry transfer of those Inamed Shares into the exchange
agents account at The Depository Trust Company
(DTC), a properly completed and duly executed letter
of election and transmittal, or an agents message in
connection with a book-entry transfer, and any other required
documents.
For purposes of the Offer, Offeror will be deemed to have
accepted for exchange Inamed Shares validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn if and when it notifies the exchange agent of
its acceptance of those Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer. The
exchange agent will deliver any cash and shares of Allergan
common stock issuable in exchange for Inamed Shares validly
tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer and cash (without
interest) equal to such holders respective proportionate
interest in the proceeds from the sale or sales in the open
market by the exchange agent for the Offer, on behalf of all
such holders, of the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan
common stock issued pursuant to the Offer instead of fractional
shares of Allergan common stock as soon as practicable after
receipt of such notice. The exchange agent will act as the agent
for tendering Inamed stockholders for the purpose of receiving
cash and shares of Allergan common stock from Offeror and
transmitting such cash and stock to the tendering Inamed
stockholders. Inamed stockholders will not receive any interest
on any cash that Offeror pays in the Offer, even if there is a
delay in making the exchange.
65
If Offeror does not accept any tendered Inamed Shares for
exchange pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer for
any reason, or if certificates are submitted representing more
Inamed Shares than are being tendered, Offeror will return
certificates for such unexchanged Inamed Shares without expense
to the tendering stockholder or, in the case of Inamed Shares
tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agents
account at DTC pursuant to the procedures set forth below in
Procedure for Tendering, the Inamed Shares to
be returned will be credited to an account maintained with DTC
as soon as practicable following expiration or termination of
the Offer.
Cash Instead of Fractional Shares of Allergan Common Stock
Instead of any fractional shares of Allergan common stock that
otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Offer, each holder
of Inamed Shares who otherwise would be entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of Allergan common stock pursuant to the
Offer will be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to
such holders respective proportionate interest in the
proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the
exchange agent for the Offer, on behalf of all such holders, of
the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan common stock issued
pursuant to the Offer. As soon as practicable following the
completion of the Offer, the exchange agent shall determine the
excess of (i) the number of whole shares of Parent Stock
issuable to the former holders of Shares pursuant to the Offer
including fractional shares, over (ii) the aggregate number
of whole shares of Parent Stock to be distributed to former
holders of Shares (such excess being collectively called the
Excess Offer Allergan common stock). The exchange
agent, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable sell the
Excess Offer Allergan common stock at the prevailing prices on
the New York Stock Exchange through one or more member firms of
the New York Stock Exchange and shall be executed in round lots
to the extent practicable. As soon as practicable after the
determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former holders
of Inamed Shares in respect of any fractional shares of Allergan
common stock, the exchange agent shall distribute such amounts
to such former holders.
Withdrawal Rights
Inamed stockholders can withdraw tendered Inamed Shares at any
time until the Offer expires and, if Offeror has not agreed to
accept the shares for exchange in the Offer by January 20,
2006, Inamed stockholders can withdraw their Inamed Shares from
tender at any time after such date until Offeror accepts the
shares for exchange.
For the withdrawal of Inamed Shares to be effective, the
exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal from
the Inamed stockholder at one of its addresses set forth on the
back cover of this prospectus, prior to the expiration date. The
notice must include the stockholders name, address, social
security number, the certificate number(s), the number of Inamed
Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder, if
it is different from that of the person who tendered those
shares, and any other information required pursuant to the Offer
or the procedures of DTC, if applicable.
A financial institution must guarantee all signatures on the
notice of withdrawal, unless the Inamed Shares to be withdrawn
were tendered for the account of an eligible institution. Most
banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses are
able to provide signature guarantees. An eligible
institution is a financial institution that is a
participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program.
If Inamed Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures
for book-entry tender discussed under the section entitled
Procedure for Tendering, any notice of
withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at
DTC to be credited with the withdrawn shares and must otherwise
comply with DTCs procedures. If certificates have been
delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, the
name of the registered holder and the serial numbers of the
particular certificates evidencing the Inamed Shares withdrawn
must also be furnished to the exchange agent, as stated above,
prior to the physical release of such certificates.
Offeror will decide all questions as to the form and validity
(including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal in its
sole discretion, and its decision shall be final and binding.
None of Offeror, Allergan, the exchange agent, the information
agent, the dealer manager or any other person is under any duty
to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any
tender or notice of withdrawal or will incur any liability for
66
failure to give any such notification. Any Inamed Shares
properly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly
tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, an Inamed
stockholder may retender withdrawn Inamed Shares by following
the applicable procedures discussed under the sections
Procedure for Tendering or
Guaranteed Delivery at any time prior to the
expiration date.
Procedure for Tendering
For an Inamed stockholder to validly tender Inamed Shares
pursuant to the Offer:
|
|
|
|
|
a properly completed and duly
executed letter of election and transmittal, along with any
required signature guarantees, any other required documents, and
certificates for tendered Inamed Shares held in certificate form
must be received by the exchange agent at one of its addresses
set forth on the back cover of this prospectus before the
expiration date; or
|
|
|
|
an agents message in
connection with a book-entry transfer, and any other required
documents, must be received by the exchange agent at one of its
addresses set forth on the back cover of this prospectus, and
the Inamed Shares must be tendered into the exchange
agents account at DTC pursuant to the procedures for
book-entry tender set forth below (and a confirmation of receipt
of such tender, referred to as a book-entry
confirmation must be received), in each case before the
expiration date; or
|
|
|
|
the terms and conditions of the
guaranteed delivery procedure set forth below under
Guaranteed Delivery must be met.
|
The term agents message means a message
transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and
forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that
DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC
participant tendering the Inamed Shares that are the subject of
such book-entry confirmation, that such participant has received
and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of election
and transmittal and that Offeror may enforce that agreement
against such participant.
The exchange agent has established an account with respect to
the Inamed Shares at DTC in connection with the Offer, and any
financial institution that is a participant in DTC may make
book-entry delivery of Inamed Shares by causing DTC to transfer
such shares prior to the expiration date into the exchange
agents account in accordance with DTCs procedure for
such transfer. However, although delivery of Inamed Shares may
be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of
election and transmittal with any required signature guarantees,
or an agents message, along with any other required
documents, must, in any case, be received by the exchange agent
at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this
prospectus prior to the expiration date, or the guaranteed
delivery procedures described below must be followed. Offeror
cannot assure Inamed stockholders that book-entry delivery of
Inamed Shares will be available. If book-entry delivery is not
available, Inamed stockholders must tender Inamed Shares by
means of delivery of Inamed Share certificates or pursuant to
the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth below under
Guaranteed Delivery.
Signatures on all letters of election and transmittal must be
guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in cases in which
Inamed Shares are tendered either by a registered holder of
Inamed Shares who has not completed the box entitled
Special Issuance Instructions or the box entitled
Special Delivery Instructions on the letter of
election and transmittal or for the account of an eligible
institution.
If the certificates for Inamed Shares are registered in the name
of a person other than the person who signs the letter of
election and transmittal, or if certificates for unexchanged
Inamed Shares are to be issued to a person other than the
registered holder(s), the certificates must be endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed
exactly as the name or names of the registered owner or owners
appear on the certificates, with the signature(s) on the
certificates or stock powers guaranteed by an eligible
institution.
Inamed stockholders must tender one Inamed preferred stock
purchase right for each Inamed Share tendered to effect a valid
tender, whether or not a distribution of the rights has
occurred, unless the Board of Directors of Inamed has previously
redeemed the Inamed rights. Nevertheless, if the Inamed rights
have been distributed, Offeror will be entitled to accept for
exchange Inamed Shares prior to receipt of the associated
67
Inamed rights certificate and, subject to complying with SEC
rules and regulations, withhold payment of all or a portion of
the Offer consideration until receipt of the rights certificate
or a book entry transfer of such rights.
The method of delivery of Inamed Share certificates and all
other required documents, including delivery through DTC, is at
the option and risk of the tendering Inamed stockholder, and
delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the
exchange agent. If delivery is by mail, Offeror recommends
registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured.
In all cases, Inamed stockholders should allow sufficient time
to ensure timely delivery.
To prevent backup United States federal income tax withholding,
each Inamed stockholder must provide the exchange agent with its
correct Taxpayer Identification Number and certify whether it is
subject to backup withholding of Federal income tax by
completing the Substitute
Form W-9 included
in the letter of election and transmittal. Some stockholders
(including, among others, all corporations and some foreign
individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and
reporting requirements. In order for a foreign individual to
qualify as an exempt recipient, the stockholder must submit an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or other applicable
Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to
that individuals exempt status.
The tender of Inamed Shares pursuant to any of the procedures
described above will constitute a binding agreement between
Offeror and the tendering Inamed stockholder upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer.
Guaranteed Delivery
Inamed stockholders desiring to tender Inamed Shares pursuant to
the Offer but whose certificates are not immediately available
or cannot otherwise be delivered with all other required
documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date or
who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a
timely basis, may nevertheless tender Inamed Shares, as long as
all of the following conditions are satisfied:
|
|
|
|
|
the tender is by or through an
eligible institution;
|
|
|
|
a properly completed and duly
executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the
form made available by Offeror, is received by the exchange
agent as provided below on or prior to the expiration
date; and
|
|
|
|
the certificates for all tendered
Inamed Shares (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of
such shares into the exchange agents account at DTC as
described above), in proper form for transfer, together with a
properly completed and duly executed letter of election and
transmittal with any required signature guarantees (or, in the
case of a book-entry transfer, an agents message) and all
other documents required by the letter of election and
transmittal are received by the exchange agent at one of its
addresses on the back cover of this prospectus within three NYSE
trading days after the date of execution of such notice of
guaranteed delivery.
|
An Inamed stockholder may deliver the notice of guaranteed
delivery by hand, facsimile transmission or mail to the exchange
agent at one of its addresses on the back cover of this
prospectus. The notice must include a guarantee by an eligible
institution in the form set forth in the notice.
In all cases, Offeror will exchange Inamed Shares tendered and
accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer only after timely
receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for Inamed Shares
(or timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such shares
into the exchange agents account at DTC as described
above), a properly completed and duly executed letter of
election and transmittal (or an agents message in
connection with a book-entry transfer) and any other required
documents.
Grant of Proxy
By executing a letter of election and transmittal as set forth
above, an Inamed stockholder irrevocably appoints Offerors
designees as such stockholders
attorneys-in-fact and
proxies, each with full power of substitution, to the full
extent of such stockholders rights with respect to its
Inamed Shares tendered and
68
accepted for exchange by Offeror and with respect to any and all
other Inamed Shares and other securities issued or issuable in
respect of those Inamed Shares on or after the expiration date.
That appointment is effective, and voting rights will be
affected, when and only to the extent that Offeror accepts
tendered Inamed Shares for exchange pursuant to the Offer and
deposits with the exchange agent the cash consideration or the
shares of Allergan common stock consideration for such Inamed
Shares. All such proxies shall be considered coupled with an
interest in the tendered Inamed Shares and therefore shall not
be revocable. Upon the effectiveness of such appointment, all
prior proxies that the Inamed stockholder has given will be
revoked, and such stockholder may not give any subsequent
proxies (and, if given, they will not be deemed effective).
Offerors designees will, with respect to the Inamed Shares
for which the appointment is effective, be empowered, among
other things, to exercise all of such stockholders voting
and other rights as they, in their sole discretion, deem proper
at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of Inameds
stockholders or otherwise, including the meeting of the Inamed
stockholders to vote on the Medicis Merger. Offeror reserves the
right to require that, in order for Inamed Shares to be deemed
validly tendered, immediately upon the exchange of such shares,
Offeror must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect
to such shares. However, prior to acceptance for exchange by
Offeror in accordance with terms of the Offer, the appointment
will not be effective, and, Offeror shall have no voting rights
as a result of the tender of Inamed Shares.
Fees and Commissions
Tendering registered Inamed stockholders who tender Inamed
Shares directly to the exchange agent will not be obligated to
pay any charges or expenses of the exchange agent or any
brokerage commissions. Tendering Inamed stockholders who hold
shares through a broker or bank should consult that institution
as to whether or not such institution will charge the
stockholder any service fees in connection with tendering Inamed
Shares pursuant to the Offer. Except as set forth in the
instructions to the letter of election and transmittal, transfer
taxes on the exchange of Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer
will be paid by Offeror.
Matters Concerning Validity and Eligibility
Offeror will determine questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for
exchange of any tender of Inamed Shares, in its sole discretion,
and its determination shall be final and binding. Offeror
reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of
Inamed Shares that it determines are not in the proper form or
the acceptance of or exchange for which may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be unlawful. Offeror also reserves the absolute
right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any
Inamed Shares. No tender of Inamed Shares will be deemed to have
been validly made until all defects and irregularities in
tenders of Inamed Shares have been cured or waived. None of
Offeror, Allergan, the exchange agent, the information agent,
the dealer manager nor any other person will be under any duty
to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the
tender of any Inamed Shares or will incur any liability for
failure to give any such notification. Offerors
interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including the letter of election and transmittal and
instructions thereto) will be final and binding.
Inamed stockholders who have any questions about the
procedure for tendering Inamed Shares in the Offer should
contact the information agent or the dealer manager at their
respective addresses and telephone numbers set forth on the back
cover of this prospectus.
Announcement of Results of the Offer
Allergan will announce the final results of the Offer, including
whether all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied
or waived and whether Offeror will accept the tendered Inamed
Shares for exchange, as promptly as practicable following the
expiration of the Offer. The announcement will be made by a
press release in accordance with applicable New York Stock
Exchange requirements.
69
Ownership of Allergan After the Offer and the Inamed
Merger
Assuming that:
|
|
|
|
|
all outstanding options to
purchase Inamed Shares, of which Inamed represented there
were 1,057,342 as of December 13, 2005, are exercised prior
to the expiration of the Offer or the consummation of the Inamed
Merger;
|
|
|
|
Offeror exchanges, pursuant to the
Offer and the Inamed Merger, 37,958,370 Inamed Shares, which
number is the sum of (i) 36,901,028, the total number of
Inamed Shares Inamed represented there were outstanding on
December 13, 2005, and (ii) 1,057,342 shares
assumed to have been issued pursuant to the exercise of Inamed
stock options; and
|
|
|
|
134,254,772 shares of
Allergan common stock are outstanding immediately prior to the
consummation of the Inamed Merger;
|
former Inamed stockholders would own in the aggregate
approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of Allergan common
stock if 100% of the Inamed Shares are exchanged in the Offer.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion is the opinion of Gibson,
Dunn & Crutcher LLP, tax counsel to Allergan, as to the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer,
Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger to Inamed
stockholders. This discussion is based on the Code, the related
Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations and court
decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with
retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the accuracy of
the statements and the conclusions discussed below and the tax
consequences of the Offer, Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing
Merger. This discussion applies only to Inamed stockholders that
hold their shares of Inamed common stock, and will hold any
shares of Allergan common stock received in exchange for their
shares of Inamed common stock, as capital assets within the
meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does
not address all federal income tax consequences of the Offer,
Inamed Merger, and Post-Closing Merger that may be relevant to
particular holders, including holders that are subject to
special tax rules. Some examples of holders that are subject to
special tax rules are: dealers in securities; financial
institutions; insurance companies; tax-exempt organizations;
holders of shares of Inamed stock as part of a position in a
straddle or as part of a hedging or
conversion transaction; holders who have a
functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;
holders who are foreign persons; holders who own their shares
indirectly through partnerships, trusts or other entities that
may be subject to special treatment; and holders who acquired
their shares of Inamed common stock through stock option or
stock purchase programs or otherwise as compensation.
In addition, this discussion does not address any consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign
jurisdiction. INAMED STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN
TAX ADVISORS AS TO SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE
OFFER, THE INAMED MERGER, AND THE POST-CLOSING MERGER, INCLUDING
THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX
LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.
|
|
|
Treatment of the Offer, the Inamed Merger, and the
Post-Closing Merger as a Reorganization |
In the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, the
Offer, the Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger will be
treated as a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code. This opinion of counsel is given in reliance on customary
representations and assumptions as to certain factual matters,
including the following: (i) the Offer, the Inamed Merger,
and the Post-Closing Merger will take place in accordance with
all of the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Inamed Merger,
and the Post-Closing Merger as described in this prospectus
without the waiver or modification of any of those terms or
conditions, (ii) none of Allergan, Inamed, or any related
party acquires or redeems, in connection with the Offer or the
Inamed Merger, shares of Allergan common stock issued to Inamed
stockholders pursuant to the Offer or the Inamed Merger (other
than pursuant to an open market
70
stock repurchase program), (iii) after the Offer, the
Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger, Allergans
wholly-owned LLC will continue Inameds historic business
(other than the Reloxin business) or will use a significant
portion of the Inameds historic business assets in a
business, and (iv) the description of Inameds
business operations set forth in its SEC filings is accurate in
all material respects and there will be no material changes in
such operations prior to the closing of the Inamed Merger.
Allergan does not intend to obtain a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service with respect to the federal income tax
consequences of the Offer and the Inamed Merger. The opinion of
counsel will not bind the courts or the Internal Revenue
Service, nor will they preclude the Internal Revenue Service
from adopting a position contrary to those expressed in the
opinion. No assurance can be given that contrary positions will
not successfully be asserted by the Internal Revenue Service or
adopted by a court if the issues are litigated. In addition, the
opinion of counsel is being delivered prior to the consummation
of the proposed transaction and therefore is prospective and
dependent on future events. No assurance can be given that
future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on
either a prospective or retroactive basis, or future factual
developments, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the
conclusion stated herein. The following are the material federal
income tax consequences to Inamed stockholders who, consistent
with the opinion of counsel referred to above, receive their
shares of Allergan common stock and/or cash pursuant to a
transaction constituting a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer, the
Inamed Merger, and Post-Closing Merger to each Inamed
stockholder will vary depending on whether the Inamed
stockholder receives cash, Allergan common stock, or a
combination of cash and Allergan common stock in exchange for
the stockholders shares of Inamed common stock. At the
time that an Inamed stockholder makes an election to receive
cash or stock, the stockholder will not know if, and to what
extent, the proration procedures will alter the mix of
consideration to be received. As a result, the tax consequences
to each stockholder will not be ascertainable with certainty
until the stockholder knows the amount of cash and /or stock
that will be received as a result of the Offer and /or the
Inamed Merger.

|
|
Consequences to Inamed Stockholders |
|
|
|
Holders who Exchange Inamed Shares Solely for Cash |
Holders of Inamed Shares who exchange all their Inamed Shares
solely for cash in the Offer or the Inamed Merger will generally
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the
amount of cash received and the tax basis for the Inamed Shares
exchanged. The amount and character of gain or loss will be
computed separately for each block of Inamed Shares that was
purchased by the holder in the same transaction. Any recognized
gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and any such capital
gain or loss will be long term if, as of the date of sale or
exchange, such stockholder has held the Inamed Shares for more
than one year or will be short term if, as of such date, such
stockholder has held the Inamed Shares for one year or less.
|
|
|
Holders who Exchange Inamed Shares Solely for Allergan
Common Stock |
Holders of Inamed Shares who exchange all of their Inamed Shares
solely for shares of Allergan common stock in the Offer and/or
the Inamed Merger will not recognize gain or loss for United
States federal income tax purposes, except with respect to cash,
if any, they receive in lieu of a fractional share of Allergan
common stock. Each holders aggregate tax basis in the
Allergan common stock received in the Offer and/or the Inamed
Merger will be the same as his or her aggregate tax basis in the
Inamed Shares surrendered in the transaction, decreased by the
amount of any tax basis allocable to any fractional share
interest for which cash is received. The holding period of the
Allergan common stock received in the Offer and/or the Inamed
Merger by a holder of Inamed Shares will include the holding
period of the Inamed Shares that he or she surrendered. If an
Inamed stockholder has differing tax bases and/or holding
periods in respect of the stockholders Inamed Shares, the
stockholder should consult with a tax advisor in order to
identify the tax bases and/or holding periods of the particular
shares of Allergan common stock that the stockholder receives.

Holders who Exchange Inamed Shares for Allergan Common
Stock and Cash |
Inamed stockholders who exchange Inamed Shares for a combination
of Allergan common stock and cash pursuant to the Offer and/or
the Inamed Merger will recognize gain, but not loss, in the
exchange. The gain, if any, recognized will equal the lesser of
(a) the amount of cash received in the transaction and
(b) the amount of gain realized in the transaction. The
amount of gain that is realized in the exchange will equal the
excess of (i) the sum of the cash plus the fair market
value of the Allergan common stock received in the exchange over
(ii) the tax basis of the Inamed Shares surrendered in the
transaction. For this purpose, an Inamed stockholder must
calculate gain or loss separately for each identifiable block of
Inamed Shares that such stockholder surrenders pursuant to the
transaction, and an Inamed stockholder cannot offset a loss
realized on one block of such shares against a gain recognized
on another block of such shares. Any gain recognized generally
will be treated as capital gain, except that the
stockholders gain could be treated as a dividend if the
receipt of the cash has the effect of the distribution of a
dividend for United States federal income tax purposes (under
Sections 302 and 356 of the Code). The aggregate tax basis
in the Allergan common stock received pursuant to the Offer
and/or the Inamed Merger (including the basis in any fractional
share for which cash is received) will be equal to the aggregate
tax basis in the Inamed Shares surrendered in the transactions,
decreased by the amount of cash received and increased by the
amount of gain, if any, recognized or any amount treated as a
dividend. The holding period of the Allergan common stock
received in the Offer and/or the Inamed Merger by a holder of
Inamed Shares will include the holding period of the Inamed
Shares that he or she surrendered in exchange therefor. Cash
received and gain realized in connection with the receipt of
cash in lieu of a fractional share of Allergan common stock are
not taken into account in making the computations of gain
realized or recognized and basis in the shares received. Rather,
such cash and gain are treated as described below. If an Inamed
stockholder has differing tax bases and/or holding periods in
respect of the stockholders Inamed Shares, the stockholder
should consult with a tax advisor in order to identify the tax
bases and/or holding periods of the particular shares of
Allergan common stock that the stockholder receives.
|
|
|
The Receipt of Cash in Lieu of a Fractional Share |
A holder of Inamed Shares who receives cash in lieu of a
fractional share of Allergan common stock will generally
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the
amount of cash received and his or her tax basis in the Allergan
common stock that is allocable to the fractional share. That
gain or loss generally will constitute capital gain or loss.
|
|
|
Consequences to Allergan and Inamed |
Neither Allergan nor Inamed will recognize gain or loss as a
result of the Offer, Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger,
except for any gain that might arise if Allergan pays cash or
property to Inamed in connection with these transactions and
such cash or property is not distributed to Inamed shareholders.
Allergan does not expect any such gain to be material.
|
|
|
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding |
Certain U.S. holders may be subject to information
reporting with respect to the cash received in exchange for
Inamed Shares, including cash received instead of a fractional
share interest in shares of Allergan common stock.
U.S. holders who are subject to information reporting and
who do not provide appropriate information when requested may
also be subject to backup withholding. Any amount withheld under
such rules is not an additional tax and may be refunded or
credited against such U.S. holders federal income tax
liability, provided that the required information is properly
furnished in a timely manner to the Internal Revenue Service.
72
Purpose of the Offer; the Inamed Merger; Appraisal Rights
|
|
|
Purpose of the Offer; the Inamed Merger |
The purpose of the Offer is for Allergan to acquire control of,
and ultimately the entire equity interest in, Inamed. The Offer,
as the first step in the acquisition of Inamed, is intended to
facilitate the acquisition of Inamed. The purpose of the Inamed
Merger is for Allergan to acquire all outstanding Inamed Shares
not tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer
is successful, Allergan intends to seek to consummate the Inamed
Merger and Post-Closing Merger as promptly as practicable. Upon
consummation of the Inamed Merger, the Surviving Corporation
would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allergan.
If Offeror owns 90% or more of the outstanding Inamed Shares
following consummation of the Offer, Allergan intends to
consummate the Inamed Merger as a short-form merger
pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL. In this case, neither
the approval of any holder of Inamed Shares (other than Offeror)
nor the approval of Inameds board of directors would be
required. After the Offer is consummated, but prior to the
completion of the Inamed Merger, Offeror may acquire additional
Inamed Shares on the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions to the extent required to reach the threshold of
90% ownership by Offeror of Inamed Shares, provided that any
such purchases will not cause the Offer, the Inamed Merger and
the Post-Closing Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Code. Any such purchases would
be made at market prices or privately negotiated prices at the
time of purchase, which may be higher or lower than or the same
as the consideration paid per Inamed Share in the Offer.
If Offeror owns less than 90% of the outstanding Inamed Shares
following the consummation of the Offer, Allergan intends to
seek to have Inameds board of directors submit the Inamed
Merger to Inameds stockholders for approval in accordance
with the DGCL. If the minimum tender condition described in
The OfferConditions of the Offer is satisfied,
Allergan will, upon consummation of the Offer, have sufficient
voting power to ensure approval of the Inamed Merger without the
affirmative vote of any other Inamed stockholder.
In the Inamed Merger, each Inamed Share (except for treasury
shares of Inamed and Inamed Shares beneficially owned directly
or indirectly by Allergan, including Inamed Shares acquired by
Offeror in the Offer) would be converted into the right to
receive, at the election of the holder thereof, cash or shares
of Allergan common stock, subject to proration and appraisal
rights under Delaware law, as more fully described below.
In the Inamed Merger, Inamed stockholders will have the
opportunity to elect to receive the same consideration available
as in the Offer, subject to proration, such that, in the
aggregate, in the Inamed Merger, 45% of the aggregate Inamed
Shares canceled in the Merger will be converted into cash and
55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares canceled in the Inamed Merger
will be converted into shares of Allergan common stock, subject
to adjustments necessary to preserve the status of the Offer,
the Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger as a
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. If a
holder of Inamed Shares has effectively demanded an appraisal of
such stockholders Inamed Shares prior to the Inamed Merger
and not withdrawn such demand or lost such rights within
30 days after the form of election and transmittal is
mailed to former Inamed stockholders, such stockholders
shares will be treated as Inamed Shares electing to receive cash
in the Inamed Merger, even if the holder thereof does not
subsequently perfect its rights of appraisal.
Rule 13e-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, which Allergan does not
believe would apply to the Inamed Merger if the Inamed Merger
occurs within one year of the completion of the Offer, would
require, among other things, that some financial information
concerning Inamed, and some information relating to the fairness
of the proposed transaction and the consideration offered to
stockholders of Inamed, be filed with the SEC and disclosed to
stockholders prior to the completion of the Inamed Merger.
Although stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection
with the Offer, Inamed stockholders at the time of the Inamed
Merger who do not vote in favor of the Inamed Merger will have
the right under Delaware law to dissent and demand appraisal of
their Inamed Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the
73
DGCL. Under Section 262, dissenting Inamed stockholders who
comply with the applicable statutory procedures will be entitled
to receive a judicial determination of the fair value of their
Inamed Shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from
the accomplishment or expectation of the Inamed Merger) and to
receive payment of such fair value in cash, together with a fair
rate of interest, if any. In Cede & Co. and
Cinerama, Inc. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Supreme Court
of the State of Delaware construed Section 262 of the DGCL
and held that the accomplishment or expectation
exclusion from the calculation of fair value described in the
preceding sentence is narrow and is designed to eliminate the
use of pro forma data and projections of a speculative variety
relating to the completion of a merger. The court held that it
is appropriate to include in the calculation of fair value any
known elements of value, including those elements of value that
exist on the date of the merger because of a majority
acquirers interim action in a two-step cash-out
transaction. Allergan cannot assure Inamed stockholders as to
the methodology a court would use to determine fair value or how
a court would select which elements of value are to be included
in such a determination. Any such judicial determination of the
fair value of Inamed Shares could be based upon factors other
than, or in addition to, the price per Inamed Share to be paid
in the Inamed Merger or the market value of the Inamed Shares.
The value so determined could be more or less than the price per
Inamed Share to be paid in the Inamed Merger.
The Post-Closing Merger
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Inamed Merger,
Allergan will cause Inamed to merge with and into a limited
liability company wholly owned by Allergan with the limited
liability company surviving the merger, provided that there is
no legal prohibition on completing the Post-Closing Merger.
The Post-Closing Merger will facilitate the integration of the
businesses of Allergan and Inamed. In addition, together with
the Offer and the Inamed Merger, the Post-Closing Merger will
have the effect of causing these transactions to qualify as a
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. See the discussion under the caption Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. Immediately
prior to the Post-Closing Merger, Allergan will be the sole
stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, and none of the former
Inamed stockholders will have any economic interest in, or
approval or other rights with respect to, the Post-Closing
Merger.
Plans for Inamed
In connection with the Offer, Allergan has reviewed and will
continue to review various possible business strategies that it
might consider in the event that Offeror acquires control of
Inamed, whether pursuant to the Offer, the Inamed Merger or
otherwise. Following a review of additional information
regarding Inamed, these changes could include, among other
things, changes in Inameds business, operations,
personnel, employee benefit plans, corporate structure,
capitalization and management.

Divestiture of Reloxin Assets |
In July 2002, Inamed acquired the exclusive rights in the U.S.,
Canada and Japan to sell Beaufour Ipsen Ltd.s botulinum
toxin Type A product, branded as
Reloxintm
in the U.S., for all cosmetic indications. In January 2005,
Inamed announced that it has entered into a preliminary
agreement among Inamed, Ipsen and McGhan Limited for the rights
to distribute Reloxin in other selected international
markets. Inamed has announced that it currently is conducting
Phase III trials for the product.
To minimize any antitrust issues arising from the Offer and the
Inamed Merger, Allergan will agree to a prompt divestiture of
the Reloxin Assets, including Inameds license to the
Reloxin products in all markets. If and to the extent
needed, Allergan will seek cooperation from Beaufour Ipsen Ltd.
(Ipsen) in this regard. Allergan also will cooperate
fully with any subsequent licensee of Reloxin to ensure
that the new licensee is able to benefit from studies or other
work that Inamed has done in an effort to obtain regulatory
approvals from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for
Reloxin, including, to the extent necessary, providing
the acquiring third-party all associated information, studies,
reports, FDA filings and communications. Inamed and Ipsen have
entered into a termination agreement pursuant to which, subject
to the consummation of
74
Allergans acquisition of Inamed and certain other
conditions, all rights related to Ipsens Botulinum Toxin
type A pharmaceutical product previously granted by Ipsen to
Inamed would be returned to Ipsen, and all worldwide rights in
the
Reloxin®
trademark would be assigned to Ipsen. Under the terms and
subject to the conditions of that agreement, the return of the
rights to the Botulinum Toxin type A pharmaceutical product to
Ipsen, and the assignment of the worldwide rights in the
Reloxin®
trademark to Ipsen would be made in consideration for payment by
Ipsen of ten million US dollars to Inamed.

|
Delisting and Termination of Registration |
If Inamed qualifies for termination of registration under the
Exchange Act after the Offer is consummated, Allergan intends to
seek to have Inamed withdraw the Inamed Shares from listing on
the NASDAQ National Market and to terminate the registration of
Inamed Shares under the Exchange Act. See
Effect of the Offer on the Market for Inamed
Shares; NASDAQ Listing; Registration Under the Exchange Act;
Margin Regulations.
|
|
|
Board of Directors and Management |
Upon consummation of the Inamed Merger, the directors of Inamed
as the Surviving Corporation will be the directors of Offeror
immediately prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
and the officers of Inamed as the Surviving Corporation will be
the officers of Offeror immediately prior to the effective time
of the Inamed Merger. After Allergans review of Inamed and
its corporate structure, management and personnel, Allergan will
determine what additional changes, if any, would be desirable.
Effect of the Offer on the Market for Inamed Shares; NASDAQ
Listing; Registration Under the Exchange Act; Margin
Regulations
|
|
|
Effect of the Offer on the Market for the Inamed
Shares |
According to Inameds Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, there were 295 holders
of record of Inamed Shares as of March 10, 2005. The
purchase of Inamed Shares by Offeror pursuant to the Offer will
reduce the number of holders of Inamed Shares and the number of
Inamed Shares that might otherwise trade publicly and could
adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the remaining
Inamed Shares held by the public. The extent of the public
market for Inamed Shares after consummation of the Offer and the
availability of quotations for such shares will depend upon a
number of factors, including the number of stockholders holding
Inamed Shares, the aggregate market value of the Inamed Shares
held by the public at such time, the interest of maintaining a
market in the Inamed Shares and analyst coverage of Inamed on
the part of any securities firms and other factors.
The Inamed Shares are quoted on the NASDAQ National Market.
Depending upon the number of Inamed Shares acquired pursuant to
the Offer and the aggregate market value of any Inamed Shares
not purchased pursuant to the Offer, Inamed Shares may no longer
meet the standards for continued listing on the NASDAQ National
Market and may be delisted from the NASDAQ. The published
guidelines of the NASDAQ National Market state that it would
consider delisting shares of a company listed on the NASDAQ
National Market if, among other things, the number of round lot
holders of such shares falls below 400, the number of publicly
held shares falls below 750,000 or the market value of publicly
held shares falls below $5,000,000. If Inamed Shares are
delisted from the NASDAQ National Market, the market for Inamed
Shares would be adversely affected as described above. If Inamed
Shares are not delisted prior to the Inamed Merger, then
Allergan intends to delist the Inamed Shares from the NASDAQ
National Market promptly following consummation of the Inamed
Merger.
|
|
|
Registration Under the Exchange Act |
Inamed Shares currently are registered under the Exchange Act.
This registration may be terminated upon application by Inamed
to the SEC if Inamed Shares are not listed on a national
securities exchange and
75
there are fewer than 300 record holders. Termination of
registration would substantially reduce the information required
to be furnished by Inamed to holders of Inamed Shares and to the
SEC and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such
as the short-swing profit recovery provisions of
Section 16(b), the requirement of furnishing a proxy
statement in connection with stockholders meetings and the
requirements of Exchange Act
Rule 13e-3 with
respect to going private transactions, no longer
applicable to Inamed Shares. In addition, affiliates
of Inamed and persons holding restricted securities
of Inamed may be deprived of the ability to dispose of these
securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
If registration of Inamed Shares under the Exchange Act is not
terminated prior to the Inamed Merger, then Allergan intends to
terminate the registration of Inamed Shares following
consummation of the Inamed Merger.
Inamed Shares currently are a margin security under
the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, which has the effect, among other things, of allowing
brokers to extend credit on the collateral of the Inamed Shares.
Depending upon factors similar to those described above
regarding listing and market quotations, it is possible that,
following the Offer, Inamed Shares may no longer constitute
margin securities for purposes of the margin
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, in which event such
Inamed Shares could no longer be used as collateral for loans
made by brokers.
Dividends and Distributions by Inamed
If on or after the date of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed:
|
|
|
|
|
splits, combines or otherwise
changes its shares of common stock or its capitalization;
|
|
|
|
acquires shares of its common
stock or otherwise causes a reduction in the number of
outstanding shares;
|
|
|
|
pays any dividend;
|
|
|
|
issues or sells any additional
shares of its common stock (other than shares issued pursuant to
and in accordance with the terms in effect on the date of this
prospectus of employee stock options outstanding prior to such
date), shares of any other class or series of capital stock,
other voting securities or any securities convertible into, or
options, rights, or warrants, conditional or otherwise, to
acquire, any of the foregoing; or
|
|
|
|
discloses that it has taken such
action,
|
then, without prejudice to Offerors rights under
Extension, Termination and Amendment and
Conditions of the Offer, Offeror may, in its
sole discretion, make such adjustments in the Offer
consideration and other terms of the Offer and the Inamed Merger
as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, the
number or type of securities to be purchased.
Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals
Allergan is not aware of any governmental license or regulatory
permit that appears to be material to Inameds business
that might be adversely affected by Offerors acquisition
of Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer or, except as described
below, of any approval or other action by any government or
governmental administrative or regulatory authority or agency,
domestic or foreign, that would be required for Offerors
acquisition or ownership of Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Should any of these approvals or other actions be required,
Allergan and Offeror currently contemplate that these approvals
or other actions will be sought. There can be no assurance that
(a) any of these approvals or other actions, if needed,
will be obtained (with or without substantial conditions), or
(b) if these approvals were not obtained or these other
actions were not taken adverse consequences would not result to
Inameds business, or (c) certain parts of
Inameds or Allergans, or any of their respective
subsidiaries, businesses, other than that relating to the
Reloxin Assets, would not have to
76
be disposed of or held separate, any of which could cause
Offeror to elect to terminate the Offer without the exchange of
Inamed Shares under the Offer. Offerors obligation under
the Offer to accept for exchange and pay for Inamed Shares is
subject to certain conditions. See Conditions
of the Offer.
Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated
thereunder by the FTC certain acquisition transactions may not
be consummated unless certain information has been furnished to
the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been
satisfied. The purchase of Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer
is subject to such requirements.
Pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act, Allergan filed a
Notification and Report Form with respect to the Offer and the
Inamed Merger with and the FTC on November 15, 2005. On
December 15, 2005, Allergan received a request for
additional information and documentary material, referred to as
a second request, from the FTC, pursuant to the HSR Act, in
connection with the Offer and the Inamed Merger. Allergan has
had discussions with the staff of the FTC and currently is
working, in conjunction with the staff of the FTC, to develop a
mutually satisfactory plan for divestiture of Inameds
rights to the Reloxin Assets. As a result, Allergan had
anticipated the issuance of the second request as part of that
process. Based on its discussions with the staff at the FTC,
Allergan does not anticipate that the consummation of the Offer
will be materially delayed by the Reloxin divestiture process,
including as a result of the second request, or by any related
FTC proceedings, however there can be no assurance that the
consummation of the Offer will not be materially delayed, if
permitted at all, by an FTC proceeding or proceedings of
antitrust authorities in foreign jurisdictions. Under the
provisions of the HSR Act applicable to the Offer, the
acquisition of Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer may be
completed following the expiration of a 30-calendar day waiting
period (if the thirtieth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the
waiting period will expire on the next business day) following
the filing by Allergan with respect to the Offer, unless
Allergan receives a request for additional information and
documentary material from the FTC. Because, within the initial
30-day waiting period,
the FTC requested additional information and documentary
material from Allergan concerning the Offer, the waiting period
will be extended and will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on the thirtieth calendar day after the date of
substantial compliance by Allergan with that request. If the
thirtieth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the waiting period
will expire on the next business day. Only one extension of the
waiting period pursuant to a request for additional information
is authorized by the HSR Act. After that time, Allergan may
close the transaction, unless Allergan agrees with the FTC to
delay closing the transaction or the FTC obtains a court order
staying the transaction. In practice, complying with a request
for additional information or material can take a significant
amount of time. The FTC may also allow Allergan to close the
transaction before the expiration of the waiting period in the
event that Allergan and the FTC agree on the terms of a consent
order providing for the divestiture of Reloxin. If a divestiture
plan can be developed that is acceptable to the FTC, the FTC
will terminate its second request and will allow the transaction
to close pursuant to the terms of a consent order. Allergan is
currently working with the FTC staff to negotiate the terms of a
divestiture plan and consent order that are acceptable to the
FTC. While there can be no assurance of the outcome of these
negotiations, Allergan does not anticipate that this process
will result in any material delay in closing. Moreover, if the
FTC raises additional substantive issues in connection with the
proposed transaction, the parties will engage in negotiations
with the FTC concerning possible means of addressing those
issues and may agree to delay completion of the transaction
while those negotiations continue. Subject to certain
circumstances described in Extension; Termination;
Amendment, any extension of the waiting period will not
give rise to any withdrawal rights not otherwise provided for by
applicable law. See Withdrawal Rights.
Under the laws of certain foreign nations and multinational
authorities, the transaction may not be completed or control may
not be exercised unless certain filings are made with these
nations antitrust regulatory authorities or multinational
antitrust authorities, and these antitrust authorities approve
or clear closing of the transaction. Other foreign nations and
multinational authorities have voluntary and/or postmerger
notification systems. Allergan has determined that it is
required to file notifications of the Offer and Inamed Merger
with the antitrust authorities in Spain and Germany. Allergan
filed the requisite
77
notifications in Germany on December 8, 2005 and in Spain
on December 9, 2005. Should any other approval or action be
required, Allergan currently contemplates that such approval or
action would be sought. Although Allergan believes that it will
obtain all other material required regulatory approvals in a
timely manner, there can be no assurance that all other such
approvals will be received in a timely manner, or at all, or
that foreign or multinational antitrust authorities will not
impose unfavorable conditions for granting the required
approvals.
Private parties (including individual states) may also bring
legal actions under the antitrust laws. Based on an examination
of the publicly available information relating to the businesses
in which Inamed is engaged, Allergan does not believe that the
consummation of the Offer will result in a violation of any
applicable antitrust laws. However, there can be no assurance
that a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be
made, or if such a challenge is made, what the result will be.
See Conditions of the Offer for certain
conditions to the Offer, including conditions with respect to
litigation and certain governmental actions.
In order to reduce any potential antitrust issues arising from
consummation of the Offer and the Inamed Merger, Allergan will
agree to an immediate divestiture of the Reloxin Assets. See
Plans for Inamed-Divestiture of Reloxin
Assets.
Certain Relationships With Inamed
As of the date of the Offer, Allergan beneficially owns 100
Inamed Shares, representing less than 1% of the outstanding
Inamed Shares. The shares were purchased on November 8,
2005, on the NASDAQ National Market for $76.07 per Inamed
Share. With the exception of the foregoing, neither Allergan nor
Offeror have effected any transaction in securities of Inamed in
the past 60 days. To the best of Allergan and
Offerors knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, none of the
persons listed on Annex B hereto, nor any of their
respective associates or majority-owned subsidiaries,
beneficially owns or has the right to acquire any securities of
Inamed or has effected any transaction in securities of Inamed
during the past 60 days.
Except as described in this prospectus, (a) there have been
no contracts, negotiations or transactions since
November 21, 2003, between Allergan, or to the best of
Allergan and Offerors knowledge, any of their directors,
executive officers or other affiliates on the one hand, and
Inamed or its affiliates on the other hand concerning any
merger, consolidation, acquisition, tender offer, election of
Inameds directors, or the sale of a material amount of
Inameds assets, and (b) neither Allergan nor Offeror,
nor to the best knowledge of Allergan or Offeror, after
reasonable inquiry, none of the persons listed on Annex B
hereto, nor any of their respective affiliates, have any other
present or proposed material agreement, arrangement or
understanding or relationship with Inamed or any of its
executive officers, directors, controlling persons or
subsidiaries.
Source and Amount of Funds
The Offer and the Inamed Merger are not conditioned upon any
financing arrangements or contingencies.
Offeror estimates that the total purchase price for all of the
outstanding Inamed Shares, including associated fees and
expenses, will be approximately $3.4 billion, including
approximately $1.6 billion in cash. Allergan has received a
commitment letter from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., an
affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
providing for a 364-day
bridge term facility in an aggregate amount of up to
$1.1 billion. Any proceeds of this facility will be used
solely to acquire Inamed Shares tendered in the Offer and
pursuant to the Inamed Merger and to pay associated transaction
fees and expenses.
Fees and Expenses
Allergan has retained Morgan Stanley to act as financial advisor
and dealer manager in connection with the Offer. The dealer
manager may contact beneficial owners of Inamed Shares regarding
the Offer and may request brokers, dealers and other nominees to
forward this prospectus and related materials to beneficial
owners of Inamed Shares. Allergan has agreed to pay the dealer
manager a fee for its services as financial advisor and dealer
manager in connection with the Offer. In addition, Allergan will
reimburse the dealer manager for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses,
including the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its
78
legal counsel. Allergan has also agreed to indemnify the dealer
manager and its affiliates against certain liabilities in
connection with its services, including liabilities under the
federal securities laws.
In the ordinary course of its businesses, the dealer manager and
its affiliates may hold positions, for its own accounts or for
the accounts of its customers, in the securities of Allergan and
Inamed. The dealer manager or its affiliates have provided and
may in the future continue to provide investment banking and
other financial services, including the provision of credit
facilities, for Allergan and Inamed in the ordinary course of
business. In particular, Allergan has received a commitment
letter from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., an affiliate of
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, providing for a
364-day bridge term
facility in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion as
described under the section captioned Source and
Amount of Funds. Allergan has agreed to pay Morgan Stanley
and its affiliates certain fees for such services.
Allergan has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. as information
agent in connection with the Offer. The information agent may
contact holders of Inamed Shares by mail, email, telephone,
facsimile and personal interview and may request brokers,
dealers and other nominee stockholders to forward material
relating to the Offer to beneficial owners of Inamed Shares.
Allergan will pay the information agent reasonable and customary
compensation for these services in addition to reimbursing the
information agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses.
Allergan agreed to indemnify the information agent against
certain liabilities and expenses in connection with the Offer,
including certain liabilities under the U.S. federal
securities laws.
In addition, Allergan has retained Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as
exchange agent in connection with the Offer. Allergan will pay
the exchange agent reasonable and customary compensation for its
services in connection with the Offer, will reimburse the
exchange agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses
and will indemnify the exchange agent against certain
liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under
the U.S. federal securities laws.
Allergan will reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks and
trust companies and other nominees, upon request, for customary
clerical and mailing expenses incurred by them in forwarding
offering materials to their customers. Except as set forth
above, neither Allergan nor Offeror will pay any fees or
commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting
tenders of shares pursuant to the Offer.
Accounting Treatment
The acquisition of Inamed Shares by Allergan will be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting under
U.S. GAAP, which means that Inameds results of
operations will be included with Allergans from the
closing date of the Offer and Inameds consolidated assets
and liabilities will be recorded at their estimated fair values
at the same time (except for the minority interest, if any, in

On December 15, 2003, Inamed effected a 3-for-2 stock split
in the form of a 50% stock dividend (one share of common stock
paid for every two shares held), paid to stockholders of record
on December 1, 2003. Inamed Shares began trading at an
adjusted price to reflect the stock split on December 16,
2003, and all share prices prior to this date have been restated
to reflect the stock split.
On November 18, 2005, the last full trading day prior to
Allergans public announcement of its proposal to acquire
Inamed, and December 21, 2005, the most recent practicable
date prior to the date of this prospectus, the closing price of
a share of Allergan common stock was $98.85 and $107.31,
respectively, and the closing price of an Inamed Share was
$74.44 and $87.02, respectively. Allergan encourages Inamed
stockholders to obtain current market quotations for shares of
Allergan common stock and Inamed Shares.
Dividends
Allergan currently expects to pay a quarterly dividend of
$0.10 per share on its common stock. Allergans
existing and proposed debt agreements limit or are expected to
limit its ability to repurchase common stock and pay dividends.
Subject to these limitations, Allergans board of directors
is free to change Allergans dividend practices from time
to time and to decrease or increase the dividend paid, or to not
pay a dividend, on Allergans common stock on the basis of
results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements
and future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by
Allergans board of directors.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements
of earnings combine the historical consolidated statements of
earnings of Allergan and Inamed giving effect to the Offer and
the Inamed Merger as if each had been consummated on
January 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
balance sheet combines the historical unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet of Allergan and the historical
unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Inamed giving effect to
the Offer and the Inamed Merger as if it each had been
consummated on September 30, 2005.
The allocation of purchase price in the Offer and Inamed Merger
as reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements has, with the assistance of independent
valuation specialists, been based upon preliminary estimates of
the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the date of the Offer and Inamed Merger. This preliminary
allocation of purchase price is based on available public
information and is dependent upon certain estimates and
assumptions, which are preliminary and have been made solely for
the purpose of developing such pro forma combined condensed
financial statements.
For the reasons mentioned in the preceding paragraph, a final
determination of the fair values of Inameds assets and
liabilities, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the
transaction, will be based on the actual net tangible and
intangible assets of Inamed that exist as of the date of
completion of the transaction. Consequently, amounts
preliminarily allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangibles
could change significantly from those used in the pro forma
combined condensed financial statements presented below and
could result in a material change in amortization of acquired
intangible assets.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet does
not include liabilities resulting from integration planning and
adjustments to the fair value of Inameds reported
liabilities, as these are not presently estimable. In addition
to the completion of the valuation, the impact of ongoing
integration activities, the timing of completion of the
transaction and other changes in Inameds net tangible and
intangible assets that occur prior to completion of the
transaction could cause material differences in the information
presented.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
are provided for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements are not
necessarily and should not be assumed to be an indication of the
results that would have been achieved had the transaction been
completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in
the future. Furthermore, no effect has been given in the
unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of earnings
for synergistic benefits that may be realized through the
combination of the two companies or the costs that may be
incurred in integrating their operations. The unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the respective historical financial statements
and the notes thereto of both Allergan and Inamed, which are
incorporated by reference in this document. See the section
entitled Where To Obtain More Information for more
information on where you can obtain copies of these documents.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform
Inameds historical amounts to Allergans presentation.

Note 1 |
Basis of Presentation |
On November 15, 2005, Allergan announced an offer by its
wholly owned subsidiary, Offeror, to acquire all outstanding
shares of common stock of Inamed. Under the terms of the offer,
stockholders of Inamed may elect to exchange each share of
Inamed common stock for either $84.00 in cash or 0.8498 of a
share of common stock of Allergan, such that the total value of
the consideration payable will be $1.45 billion in cash and
17.9 million shares of Allergan common stock.
Offerors offer was made subsequent to the execution of a
merger agreement by and among Inamed and Medicis Pharmaceutical
Corporation (Medicis) announced by Inamed and Medicis in March
2005. As of the date of Offerors offer, the merger with
Medicis had not been completed. On December 13, 2005,
Medicis and Inamed each announced the termination of the Medicis
merger agreement pursuant to a Merger Termination Agreement.
As of September 30, 2005 there were approximately
36.4 million shares of Inamed common stock outstanding and
approximately 1.8 million Inamed shares estimated to be
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options. Based on these
amounts and the terms outlined above, Inamed stockholders will
receive a total of approximately 17.9 million shares of
Allergan common stock and $1,445.8 million in cash. The
exact number of shares to be issued and exact amount of cash to
be paid will depend on the number of related Inamed shares
outstanding at the closing of the merger.
The purchase price of the acquisition is approximately
$3.4 billion estimated as follows (in millions):

The value of the Allergan shares used in determining the
purchase price was $98.35 per share based on the average of
the closing price of Allergan common stock for a range of four
trading days, two days prior to and two days subsequent to the
announcement of the offer.
The determination of the final purchase price and allocation of
the purchase price is preliminary. The final determination of
the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values
of assets acquired, including fair values of acquired in-process
research and development and other identifiable intangibles, and
the fair value of liabilities assumed as of the date that the
acquisition is consummated. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is
allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation will remain
preliminary until Allergan completes a third party valuation of
significant identifiable
85
intangible assets acquired (including in-process research and
development), evaluates integration plans to be undertaken
following the consummation of the merger, and determines the
fair values of other assets and liabilities acquired. The final
determination of the purchase price allocation is expected to be
completed as soon as practicable after the consummation of the
merger. The final amounts allocated to assets and liabilities
acquired could cause material differences in the information
presented in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements.
The amount allocated to acquired in-process research and
development represents an estimate of the fair value of
purchased in-process technology for research projects that, as
of the date of expected closing of the merger, will not have
reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future
use. The values of the research projects will be determined
based on analyses using cash flows to be generated by the
products that result from the in-process projects. These cash
flows will be estimated by forecasting total revenues expected
from these products and then deducting appropriate operating
expenses, cash flow adjustments and contributory asset returns
to establish a forecast of net cash flows arising from the
in-process technology. These cash flows will be substantially
reduced to take into account the time value of money and the
risks associated with the inherent difficulties and
uncertainties given the projected stage of development of these
projects at closing. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2005,
$113.4 million of the total purchase price has been
allocated to acquired in-process research and development, which
includes the estimated value of Inameds silicone gel
filled breast implant technology for use in the United States
($53.1 million) and Juvederm, a non-animal based,
cross-linked hyaluronic-acid dermal filler technology for use in
the United States ($60.3 million), both of which are not
expected to have reached technological feasibility as of the
closing date and have no alternative future use. The amounts
allocated to in-process research and development will be charged
to the statement of earnings in the period the acquisition is
consummated.
In connection with this transaction, Allergan expects to divest
all of Inameds exclusive sales rights of Reloxin, a
botulinum toxin Type A product that has not yet been approved
for sale in the United States. Accordingly, the estimated fair
value of Reloxin has been capitalized and is reflected as an
asset held for sale on the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed balance sheet.

Note 2 |
Pro Forma Adjustments |
|
|
|
Pro Forma Statement of Earnings Adjustments |
(a) To reclassify Inamed product
warranty costs of $4.9 million for both the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended
December 31, 2004 from Selling, General and Administrative
expense to Cost of Sales to conform to Allergans
presentation.
(b) To eliminate $10.5 million
of costs related to the Medicis merger transaction that will not
have an ongoing impact on the combined operations. The
elimination of these costs will not be tax affected for pro
forma purposes as they were not tax affected by Inamed due to
the fact that these costs are capitalizable by Inamed under
current tax regulations.
(c) Reflects amortization of
$55.8 million and $74.3 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended
December 31, 2004, respectively, for identified intangible
assets based on the estimated fair values assigned to these
assets at the date of acquisition and estimated useful lives of
15 years, 4 years and 16 years for developed
technology, customer relationships and core technology,
respectively, and the elimination of historical Inamed
intangible amortization of $4.0 million and
$5.0 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31,
2004, respectively. Acquired other intangible assets of
$4.1 million are estimated to not be subject to
amortization, consistent with Inameds current public
disclosures. Assuming an aggregate average useful life of
15 years, straight-line amortization, and a tax rate of
25.0%, for every additional $50 million allocated to
identified intangible assets, net earnings will decrease by
$1.9 million and $2.5 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended
December 31, 2004, respectively.
86
(d) Reflects lower interest income due to the assumed use
of $575.5 million of Allergan cash and equivalents to
finance a part of the cash portion of the merger consideration
and transaction costs and retirement of Inameds notes
payable balance and assumes interest rates based on
Allergans historical average interest rate earned on cash
equivalents of 3.00% and 1.50% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31,
2004, respectively.
(e) Reflects higher incremental
interest expense of $40.5 million and $53.6 million
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and the
year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, and
amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.7 million and
$0.9 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31,
2004, respectively, due to additional assumed borrowings of
$1.045 billion at varying interest rates to finance a part
of the cash portion of the merger consideration and transaction
costs in excess of Allergans cash and equivalents
available to finance the merger. Allergan expects to re-finance
the 364-day bridge term
facility used to initially fund a portion of the offer and
merger consideration and transaction costs with senior long-term
debt totaling $1.045 billion with a mix of financing
maturities. For purposes of these pro forma financial
statements, estimated maturities of total pro forma combined
long-term debt (including long-term convertible notes) due after
one year are: zero in 2006; $518.4 million in 2007;
$282.2 million in 2008; zero in 2009; $250.0 million
in 2010 and $570.0 million after 2010. The effect of a
0.125 percentage point variance in the interest rate on net
earnings, assuming a tax rate of 38.0%, is $0.6 million and
$0.8 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31,
2004, respectively.
(f) To reclassify royalty expense

Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments |
(i) Reflects the use of Allergan
cash and equivalents to finance a part of the cash portion of
the offer consideration and merger consideration.
(j) Reflects the receipt and use of
assumed proceeds of additional borrowings to finance a part of
the cash portion of the offer consideration and merger
consideration and transaction costs.
(k) Reflects adjustment of the
historical Inamed inventories to estimated fair value. Because
this adjustment is directly attributed to the transaction and
will not have an ongoing impact in excess of one year, it is not
reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
statements of earnings. However, this inventory adjustment will
impact cost of sales subsequent to the consummation of the
transaction.
(l) Reflects the use of Allergan
cash and equivalents to retire Inameds notes payable
balance.
(m) Reflects the portion of the
purchase price allocated to Inameds exclusive sales rights
of Reloxin, a botulinum toxin Type A product that has not yet
been approved for sale in the United States, which will be
divested by Allergan immediately after the completion of the
merger.
(n) Reflects the portion of the
purchase price allocated to acquired intangible assets,
including developed technology of $654.4 million, customer
relationships of $86.4 million, core technology of
$35.5 million and other intangibles of $4.1 million,
less Inameds historical net intangible assets of
$47.9 million. The amount of intangible assets is subject
to change and will be finalized upon consummation of the
transaction and completion of an evaluation.
(o) Reflects the portion of the
purchase price allocated to acquired in-process research and
development projects that, as of the closing date of the merger,
will not have reached technical feasibility and have no
alternative future use. The preliminary estimate of the fair
value of acquired in-process research and development is
$113.4 million. The amount of acquired in-process research
and development is subject to change and will be finalized upon
consummation of the transaction and completion of an evaluation.
Because this expense is directly attributable to the acquisition
and will not have a continuing impact in excess of one year, it
is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
statements of earnings. However, this item will be recorded as
an expense in the period that the acquisition is completed. For
every incremental $10.0 million increase to the amount
allocated to acquired in-process research and development, there
will be a $10.0 million decrease to net income in the
period in which the transaction occurs. Additionally, goodwill
will also decrease by $10.0 million.
(p) Reflects the use of cash and
equivalents to pay estimated
break-up costs
associated with the terminated Medicis merger
($90.0 million) and estimated transaction costs
($75.9 million). Estimated transaction costs consist
primarily of investment banker fees, legal and professional
fees, severance costs and debt issuance costs. Estimated debt
issuance costs of $5.9 million are reflected in Investments
and other assets in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
balance sheet.
(q) The adjustment to goodwill
reflects the elimination of historical Inamed goodwill of
$136.3 million and the addition of goodwill from the
purchase price allocation of $2,293.5 million.
88
(r) Reflects the elimination of
historical Inamed stockholders equity.
(s) Reflects the estimated fair
value of Allergan common stock issued to finance a portion of
the offer and merger consideration and transaction costs.
(t) Reflects a deferred income tax
liability of $197.8 million related to purchase price basis
adjustments at an estimated annual effective tax rate for Inamed
of 25.0%, and a related reclassification of $14.7 million
and $142.6 million of Allergan and Inamed historical
current and long-term deferred tax assets, respectively, against
this amount.

DESCRIPTION OF ALLERGAN CAPITAL STOCK
Allergans authorized capital stock consists of
300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of October 28,
2005, there were 134,254,772 shares of Allergan common
stock outstanding (including 2,646,927 shares held in
treasury) and held of record by approximately 6,038
stockholders, and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.
On such date, 12,025,235 shares of common stock were
subject to outstanding options.
The following description of the terms of the common stock and
preferred stock of Allergan is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to Allergans Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and its Bylaws, each
of which are filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part. To find out where copies of
these documents can be obtained, see Where to Obtain More
Information.
Common Stock
Holders of Allergans common stock are entitled to receive
dividends declared by the board of directors, out of funds
legally available for the payment of dividends, subject to the
rights of holders of preferred stock. For the past three fiscal
quarters, Allergan has paid a dividend of $0.10 per share
per quarter, increased from $0.09 paid per quarter, in each of
the prior eight quarters. Each holder of Allergan common stock
is entitled to one vote per share. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or
winding-up of its
business, the holders of Allergan common stock are entitled to
share equally in all assets available for distribution after
payment of all liabilities and provision for liquidation
preference of any shares of preferred stock then outstanding.
The holders of Allergan common stock have no preemptive rights
and no rights to convert their common stock into any other
securities. There are also no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Allergan common stock.
Allergans common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol AGN. The transfer agent
and registrar for the common stock is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A
Preferred Stock
Allergans board of directors has the authority, without
further action by the stockholders, to issue up to
5,000,000 shares of Allergan preferred stock in one or more
series and to fix the following terms of the preferred stock:
|
|
|
|
|
designations, powers, preferences,
privileges;
|
|
|
|
relative participating, optional
or special rights; and
|
|
|
|
the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights,
voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.
|
Any or all of these rights may be greater than the rights of the
Allergan common stock. Allergans board of directors has
designated 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
which shares are issuable upon certain events specified in
Allergans rights plan, as described below.
Allergans board of directors, without stockholder
approval, can issue preferred stock with voting, conversion or
other rights that could negatively affect the voting power and
other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock
could thus be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or
prevent a change in control of Allergan or make it more
difficult to remove Allergans management. Additionally,
the issuance of Allergan preferred stock may have the effect of
decreasing the market price of Allergans common stock.
Rights Plan
On January 25, 2000, Allergans board of directors
declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right for
each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
outstanding as of the close of business on February 18,
2000, the record date. As long as the rights are attached to
Allergans common stock, Allergan will issue one right
(subject to adjustment) with each new share of Allergan common
stock so that all shares
90
of Allergan common stock will have attached rights. When
exercisable, each right will entitle the registered holder to
purchase from Allergan one one-hundredth of a share of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of
$300.00 per one one-hundredth of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
Until a right is exercised, the holder of the right has no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
stockholder as a result of holding the right. The rights trade
automatically with shares of Allergan common stock and may only
be exercised in connection with certain attempts to takeover
Allergan. The rights are designed to protect the interests of
Allergan and its stockholders against coercive takeover tactics
and to encourage potential acquirors to negotiate with its board
of directors before attempting a takeover. The preferred stock
purchase rights theoretically could, but are not intended to,
deter takeover proposals that might be in the best interests of
Allergans stockholders.
The description and terms of the preferred stock purchase rights
set forth above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the rights agreement, dated as of
January 25, 2000, between Allergan and Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. (as successor rights agent to EquiServe Trust Company, N.A.
and First Chicago Trust Company of New York), as amended
January 2, 2002, January 30, 2003 and October 19,
2005, and as may be amended further from time to time. The
rights expire on February 18, 2010.

of which is attached hereto as Annex D.

or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of Allergan, and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. In suits by Allergan, and derivative suits
by stockholders of Allergan, against directors or officers of
Allergan, Delaware law does not allow indemnification without
judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be
liable to Allergan.
Allergan will advance expenses (including attorneys fees)
before the final disposition of any proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by the director or officer to repay such amount
if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified by Allergan. |
|
Inameds bylaws provide that it will indemnify, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, its directors in connection
with proceedings to which they are made parties by reason of the
fact that they are or were directors, officers, employees or
agents of Inamed, provided, however, that Inamed is not required
to indemnify an entity in connection with a proceeding commenced
by such director or officer unless the proceeding was authorized
by (i) the board of directors, (ii) independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) the stockholders.
The DGCL allows the above indemnification only if the agent
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
Inamed, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In suits
by Inamed, and derivative suits by stockholders of Inamed,
against directors or officers of Inamed, Delaware law does not
allow indemnification without judicial approval if the officer
or director is adjudged to be liable to Inamed.
Inameds certificate of incorporation provides that it will
advance reasonable expenses before the final disposition of any
proceeding if the agent undertakes to repay such amount if it is
determined that they are not entitled to indemnification, except
that such advances will no be made if the board of directors or
an independent legal counsel determines that such an agent is
not entitled to indemnification. |

Anti-Takeover Provisions: |

|
|
|
|
Business Combination Act |
|
Allergan is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which
prohibits specified business combinations by an interested
stockholder (defined as a holder of 15% or more of the
outstanding voting shares of a corporation) for a period of
three years after the stockholder becomes an interested
stockholder unless
prior to the stockholders becoming an
interested |
|
Inamed is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. However, as
described above, Inameds board of directors has approved
the Offer, the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger such
that Section 203 does not apply to such transactions. |

stockholder, the board of directors approves the business
combination or the transaction by which the stockholder becomes
an interested stockholder,
upon completion of the transaction by which
the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the
stockholder owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the
corporation (excluding shares owned by directors who are also
officers and by certain employee stock ownership
plans) or
on or after the date the stockholder becomes
an interested stockholder, the business combination receives the
approval of both the directors and the holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares not owned by the
interested stockholder.
A Delaware corporation may opt out of Section 203 through
an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws
adopted by a majority of the outstanding voting shares, provided
that, in most cases, such an amendment will not become effective
until 12 months after its adoption and will not apply to
any person who became an interested stockholder on or prior to
its adoption.
Allergan has not adopted any such charter or bylaw amendment.
Allergans certificate of incorporation defines an
interested stockholder as one who becomes a holder of 5% or more
of Allergans voting shares. Allergans certificate of
incorporation requires that any transaction with such an
interested stockholder be approved by at least
662/3%
of the outstanding voting securities. |

102
ALLERGANS EXISTING DEBT AGREEMENTS
Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Notes
On November 6, 2002, Allergan issued zero coupon
convertible senior notes due 2022, or Senior Notes,
in a private placement. The Senior Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
represent Allergans
unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of its
other unsecured senior indebtedness and are junior to all of its
current and future secured indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
have a $641,510,000 aggregate
principal amount at maturity;
|
|
|
|
accrue interest at 1.25% annually;
|
|
|
|
will mature on November 6,
2022;
|
|
|
|
were issued at a discount of
$141.5 million; and
|
|
|
|
are convertible under certain
circumstances into 11.41 shares of Allergans common
stock for each $1,000 principal amount at maturity.
|
The Senior Notes are convertible:
|
|
|
|
|
if the closing price of
Allergans common stock exceeds certain levels;
|
|
|
|
the credit ratings assigned to the
Senior Notes are reduced below specified levels; or
|
|
|
|
Allergan calls the Senior Notes
for redemption, makes specified distributions to its
stockholders or becomes a party to certain consolidation, merger
or binding share exchange agreements.
|
Based on the terms of the Senior Notes, an assessment of the
conversion criteria is performed each fiscal quarter, the result
of which affects the holders ability to convert the Senior
Notes in the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter. As of
September 30, 2005, the conversion criteria had been met
and holders may elect to convert the Senior Notes into shares of
Allergan common stock between October 1, 2005 and
December 31, 2005. Allergan does not currently expect any
of the holders of the Senior Notes to elect conversion during
its fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. If the conversion criteria
are not met in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2005,
the holders ability to convert the Senior Notes will be
restricted until the conversion criteria are again met.
On July 28, 2004, Allergan, together with Wells Fargo Bank,
as trustee, executed a supplemental indenture to the indenture
governing the Senior Notes. The supplemental indenture amends
the indentures redemption and conversion provisions to
restrict Allergans ability to issue common stock in lieu
of cash to holders of the Senior Notes upon any redemption or
conversion. Upon any redemption, Allergan is now required to pay
the entire redemption amount in cash. In addition, upon any
conversion, Allergan will pay cash up to the accreted value of
the Senior Notes converted and will have the option to pay any
amounts due in excess of the accreted value in either cash or
common stock.
Holders of the Senior Notes may require Allergan to purchase the
Senior Notes on any of the following dates at the following
prices:
|
|
|
|
|
$829.51 per Senior Note on
November 6, 2007;
|
|
|
|
$882.84 per Senior Note on
November 6, 2012; and
|
|
|
|
$939.60 per Senior Note on
November 6, 2017.
|
In addition, holders of the Senior Notes may require Allergan to
purchase the Senior Notes upon a Fundamental Change (as defined
in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, as amended) prior
to November 6, 2007.
Pursuant to the supplemental indenture, Allergan is required to
pay cash for any Senior Notes purchased by it on any of these
three dates. Allergan was restricted from redeeming the Senior
Notes before
103
November 6, 2005. Prior to November 6, 2007, Allergan
may redeem all or a portion of Senior Notes for cash in an
amount equal to their accreted value only if the price of its
common stock reaches certain thresholds for a specified period
of time. On or after November 6, 2007, Allergan may redeem
all or a portion of the Senior Notes for cash in an amount equal
to their accreted value.
Notes Payable and Other Long-Term Debt
Allergan has a committed long-term credit facility, a committed
foreign line of credit in Japan, a commercial paper program, a
medium term note program, an unused debt shelf registration
statement that may be used for a new medium term note program
and other issuances of debt securities, and various foreign bank
facilities.
|
|
|
|
|
The committed credit facility
allows for borrowings of up to $400 million through May
2009.
|
|
|
|
The committed foreign line of
credit allows for borrowings of up to three billion Japanese yen
(approximately $26.4 million) through July 2006.
|
|
|
|
The commercial paper program
provides for up to $300 million in borrowings.
|
|
|
|
The medium term note program
allows Allergan to issue up to an additional $8.0 million
in registered notes on a non-revolving basis.
|
|
|
|
The debt shelf registration
statement provides for up to $350 million in additional
debt securities.
|
|
|
|
Borrowings under the long-term
credit facility and medium-term note program are subject to
certain financial and operating covenants that include, among
other provisions, maintaining minimum debt to capitalization
ratios and a minimum consolidated net worth. Certain covenants
also limit subsidiary debt and restrict dividend payments.
Allergan is in compliance with these covenants.
|
As of September 30, 2005, Allergan had $120.0 million
outstanding in borrowings under its committed credit facility,
$6.0 million in borrowings under various foreign bank
loans, $57.2 million in borrowings under the medium term
note program and no borrowings outstanding under its commercial
paper program or committed foreign line of credit.
Allergan does not currently intend to have combined borrowings
under its committed credit facilities and its commercial paper
program that would exceed $300 million in the aggregate.

the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated

A-1
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE OFFER
Section 1.01. The
Offer.
(a) On November 21, 2005, Parent caused Merger Sub to
commence (within the meaning of
Rule 14d-2
promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer. In the Offer,
each Share accepted by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged
for the right to receive from Merger Sub, at the election of the
holder: (i) $84.00 in cash, without interest (the
Cash Consideration), or
(ii) 0.8498 of a share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Parent (together with the Parent
Rights, as defined in Section 3.01(f), the
Parent Stock, and such fraction of a
share of Parent Stock issuable in exchange for each Share
pursuant to the Offer, the Parent Stock
Consideration), with cash in respect of fractional
shares of Parent Stock in accordance with Section 1.01(f),
and in each case subject to proration as set forth in
Section 1.01(d).
(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment or
exchange, and to pay for or exchange Shares pursuant to the
Offer, shall be subject only to the Minimum Condition (as
defined in Annex A hereto) and to the other
conditions set forth in Annex A attached hereto.
Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to increase the
consideration payable pursuant to the Offer and to waive any
condition of the Offer, provided that the conditions described
in clauses (c)(i) and (d)(i)(iii) of
Annex A attached shall not be waivable. Subject to
the extension rights described in
subparagraph (h) below, Merger Sub shall, and Parent
shall cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment or exchange, all
Shares which have been validly tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the Offer at the earliest time following the
Expiration Date (as defined in subparagraph (h)) at which
all conditions to the Offer shall have been satisfied or waived
by Merger Sub, and Merger Sub shall not otherwise extend the
Offer. The Company agrees that no Shares held by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered in the Offer. Without
the consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce
the number of Shares subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the
Cash Consideration or Parent Stock Consideration,
(iii) waive or change the Minimum Condition, (iv) add
to the conditions set forth in Annex A,
(v) modify any condition set forth in Annex A
or amend any term of the Offer set forth in this Agreement, in
each case, in any manner materially adverse to the holders of
Shares, or (vi) change the form of consideration.
(c) Subject to Sections 1.01(d), (e) and (f),
each holder of Shares shall be entitled to elect (i) the
number of Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the
right to receive the Cash Consideration (a Cash
Election), and (ii) the number of Shares
which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive
Parent Stock Consideration (a Parent Stock
Election). Any Cash Election or Parent Stock
Election shall be referred to herein as an
Election, and shall be made on a form
furnished by Merger Sub for that purpose (a Form of
Election), included as part of the letter of
election and transmittal accompanying the Offer. Holders of
record who hold Shares as nominees, trustees or in other
representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election
on behalf of their respective beneficial holders.
(d) The maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant
to the Offer shall be (x) $84.00 multiplied by
(y) 45% of the total number of Shares outstanding that are
tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (such
amount, the Maximum Cash
Consideration). The maximum aggregate amount of
Parent Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to the Offer shall
be (x) 0.8498 shares of Parent Stock multiplied
by (y) 55% of the total number of Shares outstanding
that are tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the
Offer (such amount or any lesser amount specified in accordance
with Section 1.01(e) being referred to as the
Maximum Parent Stock Consideration).
|
|
|
(i) If the total number of Cash Elections would require
aggregate cash payments in excess of the Maximum Cash
Consideration, such Elections shall be subject to proration as
follows. For each Cash Election, the number of Shares that shall
be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration
shall be (A) the total number of Shares subject to such
Cash Election multiplied by (B) the Cash |
A-2
|
|
|
Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest Share. The
Cash Proration Factor means a fraction
(x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Cash
Consideration and (y) the denominator of which shall be the
product of the aggregate number of Shares subject to all Cash
Elections made by all holders of Shares, multiplied by the Cash
Consideration. All Shares subject to a Cash Election, other than
Shares converted into the right to receive the Cash
Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.01(d),
shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Stock
Consideration. All prorations resulting from this
Section 1.01(d) shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such
that each Company stockholder who tenders Shares subject to a
Cash Election bears its proportionate share of the proration,
based on the percentage of the total Shares tendered subject to
a Cash Election tendered by such Company stockholder. |
|
|
(ii) If the total number of Parent Stock Elections would
require the issuance in the aggregate of a number of shares of
Parent Stock in excess of the Maximum Parent Stock
Consideration, such Elections shall be subject to proration as
follows. For each Parent Stock Election, the number of Shares
that shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent
Stock Consideration shall be (i) the total number of Shares
subject to such Parent Stock Election multiplied by
(ii) the Parent Stock Proration Factor, rounded down to the
nearest Share. The Parent Stock Proration
Factor means a fraction (x) the numerator of
which shall be the Maximum Parent Stock Consideration and
(y) the denominator of which shall be the product of the
aggregate number of Shares subject to all Parent Stock Elections
made by all holders of Shares, multiplied by the Parent Stock
Consideration. All Shares subject to a Parent Stock Election,
other than that number converted into the right to receive the
Parent Stock Consideration in accordance with this
Section 1.01(d), shall be converted into the right to
receive the Cash Consideration. All prorations resulting from
this Section 1.01(d) shall be applied on a pro rata basis,
such that each Company stockholder who tenders subject to a
Parent Stock Election bears its proportionate share of the
proration, based on the percentage of the total Shares tendered
subject to a Parent Stock Election tendered by such Company
stockholder. |
(e) Each Share validly tendered but which is not the
subject of a valid Election shall be deemed to be tendered
subject to the following Elections:
|
|
|
(i) If the Cash Elections exceed the Maximum Cash
Consideration such that proration of Cash Elections occur,
Shares validly tendered without a valid Election will be deemed
tendered subject to a Parent Stock Election; |
|
|
(ii) If the Parent Stock Elections exceed the Maximum
Parent Stock Consideration such that proration of Parent Stock
Elections occurs, Shares validly tendered without a valid
Election will be deemed tendered subject to a Cash
Election; and |
|
|
(iii) If no proration occurs, Shares validly tendered
without a valid Election will be deemed tendered in part subject
to a Cash Election and in part subject to a Parent Stock
Election to the extent of the Cash Consideration and Parent
Stock Consideration remaining after taking into account the Cash
Elections and Stock Elections made by those Company stockholders
who affirmatively made Elections in the Offer. The remaining
available Cash Consideration and Parent Stock Consideration will
be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Shares tendered by
those Company stockholders who validly tendered Shares but did
not specify an Election, such that each such Share is exchanged
for the same proportion of Cash Consideration and Parent Stock
Consideration, based on the respective percentages of available
Cash Consideration and Parent Stock Consideration remaining
after taking into account the affirmative Elections of the
tendering Company stockholders. |
(f) In lieu of any fractional share of Parent Stock that
otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Offer, each holder
of Shares who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction
of a share of Parent Stock pursuant to the Offer will be paid an
amount in cash (without interest) equal to such holders
respective proportionate interest in the proceeds from the sale
or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent for the Offer,
on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional
shares of Parent Stock issued pursuant to the Offer. As soon as
practicable following the completion of the Offer, the Exchange
Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of whole
shares of Parent Stock issuable to the former holders of Shares
pursuant to
A-3
the Offer including fractional shares, over (ii) the
aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Stock to be
distributed to former holders of Shares (such excess being
collectively called the Excess Offer Parent
Stock). The Exchange Agent, as agent and trustee
for the former holders of Shares, shall as promptly as
reasonably practicable sell the Excess Offer Parent Stock at the
prevailing prices on the NYSE. The sales of the Excess Offer
Parent Stock by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the NYSE
through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be
executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Parent shall
pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other
out-of-pocket
transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of
the Exchange Agent and costs associated with calculating and
distributing the respective cash amounts payable to the
applicable former holders of Shares, incurred in connection with
such sales of Excess Offer Parent Stock. Until the proceeds of
such sales have been distributed to the former holders of Shares
to whom fractional shares of Parent Stock otherwise would have
been issued in the Offer, the Exchange Agent will hold such
proceeds in trust for such former holders. As soon as
practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be
paid to former holders of Shares in respect of any fractional
shares of Parent Stock, the Exchange Agent shall distribute such
amounts to such former holders.
(g) If, between the date of this Agreement and the
completion of the Offer, the outstanding shares of Parent Stock
or the Shares shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a
different number of shares or a different class, by reason of
any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the
Cash Consideration, the Parent Stock Consideration, the Maximum
Cash Consideration, the Maximum Parent Stock Consideration, the
Cash Proration Factor and the Parent Stock Proration Factor
shall be correspondingly adjusted as appropriate to provide the
holders of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer the same
economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such
event.
(h) Subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Offer
shall remain open until at least 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on January 9, 2006 (the Expiration
Date, unless extended, in which case any
expiration time and date established pursuant to an authorized
extension of the Offer, the Expiration
Date); provided, however, that
Merger Sub:
|
|
|
(i) shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, from time
to time extend the Offer, in increments of no more than ten (10)
Business Days each, if at the initial or any subsequent
scheduled Expiration Date any of the conditions of the Offer
shall not have been satisfied or waived, until such time as such
conditions are satisfied or waived to the extent permitted by
this Agreement; |
|
|
(ii) shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend
the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation,
interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof
applicable to the Offer; and |
|
|
(iii) may extend the Offer one time only for up to five (5)
Business Days if less than 90% of the total Shares on a fully
diluted basis have been validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn at the otherwise scheduled Expiration Date. |
In each of the above cases, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to
extend the Offer from time to time in accordance with this
Section 1.1(h) for the shortest time periods which it
reasonably believes are necessary until consummation of the
Offer if the conditions of the Offer shall not have been
satisfied or waived, so long as this Agreement shall not have
been terminated in accordance with Article VIII hereof.
(i) As promptly as practicable after the date of this
Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) amend or
supplement (x) the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with any
amendments or supplements thereto, the
Schedule TO) and (y) the
registration statement on
Form S-4 with
respect to the offer and sale of Parent Stock pursuant to the
Offer and the Merger (together with any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Registration
Statement), in each case as originally filed with
the SEC on November 21, 2005, and in each case so as to
reflect the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and file
such amendments or supplements with the SEC, and (ii) cause
the Offer Documents (as defined below) to be disseminated to the
holders of Shares, in each case, to the extent required by
applicable law. The Schedule TO as so amended or
supplemented shall contain an amended Offer to Exchange
reflecting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and a
revised form of letter of transmittal and
election (collectively with the Prospectus, and together
with any amendments or supplements thereto, the
Offer Documents),
A-4
and the Registration Statement as so amended or supplemented
shall include a prospectus (the
Prospectus) containing the information
required under the Exchange Act. Parent shall cause the
Schedule TO and the Registration Statement to comply in all
material respects with the provisions of applicable federal
securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the
date first published, sent or given to the Companys
stockholders, to not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, except that no representation is made by Parent with
respect to information supplied by the Company in writing for
inclusion in the Schedule TO or the Registration Statement.
The Company shall promptly furnish to each of Parent and Merger
Sub all information concerning the Company that is required or
reasonably requested by either Parent or Merger Sub in
connection with such actions. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub
each agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it
for use in the Schedule TO or Registration Statement if and
to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in
any material respect, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to
take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO and
Registration Statement as so corrected to be filed with the SEC
and disseminated to the holders of the Shares, in each case as
and to the extent required by applicable federal securities
laws. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to promptly advise the
Company of any comments or other communications (and promptly
provide copies of any such written materials or reasonably
detailed summaries of any oral communications) that Parent or
Merger Sub or their counsel or representatives may receive from
the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or
Registration Statement or any other securities filings of Parent
or Merger Sub related to the Offer, the Merger or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(j) Parent and Merger Sub shall comply with the obligations
respecting prompt payment and announcement under the Exchange
Act, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept
for payment, and pay for, all Shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly following the
acceptance of such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer and
this Agreement. Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to
Merger Sub on a timely basis all funds and shares of Parent
Stock necessary to purchase or exchange any Shares that Merger
Sub becomes obligated to purchase or exchange pursuant to the
Offer.
Section 1.02. Company
Action.
(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the
Offer and represents and warrants that at meetings duly called
and held on December 13 and 14, 2005, the Company Board
unanimously (i) determined that the Offer, and this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby
(including the Merger and the Second Merger) are advisable, fair
to and in the best interests of the Company stockholders,
(ii) approved and adopted this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer, the
Merger, and the Second Merger in all respects in accordance with
Delaware law, and such approval constitutes approval of the
Offer, this Agreement and the Merger for all purposes of
Section 203 of the DGCL (as described in
Section 4.04(b)), (iii) approved and adopted an
amendment to the terms of the Company Rights Agreement (as
defined in Section 3.01(f)) and took all other actions
necessary to render the Company Rights Agreement inapplicable to
Parent, Merger Sub, the Offer, this Agreement and the Merger
(such action, collectively, the Rights Plan
Amendment), and (iv) resolved to recommend
that the stockholders of the Company tender their Shares to
Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer and that the stockholders of
the Company adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger if
stockholder approval is required by the DGCL; provided,
however, that such recommendation may be withdrawn,
modified or amended if permitted by Section 6.03 and
subject to the payment of any applicable fees resulting from
such action as provided in Section 6.09. The Company
consents to the inclusion of such recommendations and approvals
in the Offer Documents and in the Information Statement.
(b)(i) As promptly as practicable after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to
its Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on
Schedule 14D-9 originally filed on December 5, 2005,
with respect to the Offer, reflecting the Company Boards
recommendation that the Companys stockholders accept and
tender Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Company Boards
approval of this Agreement and otherwise reflecting the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and including the
A-5
information regarding Parents designees to the Company
Board pursuant to Section 1.03 to the extent Parent shall
have theretofore provided the information required by
Section 1.03(b) (such Schedule 14D-9, as amended or
supplemented from time to time, the
Schedule 14D-9), (ii) if
(x) following the completion of the Offer and any exercise
of the Top-Up Option, consummation of the Merger under
Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by
Section 1.05 is not permitted by the terms of
Section 253 of the DGCL and (y) Parent delivers to the
Company a written consent of the holders of Shares in accordance
with Section 228 of the DGCL duly adopting this Agreement
under Section 251 of the DGCL and so requests, the Company
shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file with the SEC an
Information Statement on Schedule 14C (as amended or
supplemented from time to time, the Information
Statement), describing the Merger and the Second
Merger and including such information regarding Parent, Merger
Sub, the Company and the terms and approval of such transactions
as is required by such form and under applicable Law, and
(iii) shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 and the
Information Statement to the holders of Shares at the times and
to the extent required by applicable Laws. The
Schedule 14D-9 (including the information regarding
Parents designees to the Company Board) and the
Information Statement will comply in all material respects with
the provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the
date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or
given to the Companys stockholders, shall not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except
that no representation is made by the Company with respect to
information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub in writing for
inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9 or the Information
Statement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish
to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub
that is required or reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with such actions. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub
each agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it
for use in the Schedule 14D-9 or the Information Statement
if and to the extent that it shall have become false or
misleading in any material respect, and the Company further
agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the
Schedule 14D-9 and the Information Statement as so
corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the
holders of the Shares, in each case as and to the extent
required by applicable Laws. The Company further agrees to
promptly advise Parent of any comments or other communications
(and promptly provide copies of any such written materials or
reasonably detailed summaries of any oral communications) that
the Company or its counsel or representatives may receive from
the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 or
any other securities filings of the Company related to the
Offer, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.
(c) In connection with the Offer and the mailing of the
Offer Documents and the Information Statement, the Company will
promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with mailing labels,
security position listings and any available listing or computer
files containing the names and addresses of the record holders
of the Shares as of the most recent date practicable and shall
furnish Merger Sub with such additional information and
assistance (including, without limitation, updated stockholder
lists, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) as
Merger Sub or its agents may reasonably request in communicating
the Offer or the matters subject to the Company Stockholder
Approval (as defined in Section 4.04(a)) to the record and
beneficial holders of Shares. Except for such steps as are
necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other
documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the
Second Merger, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective
affiliates, associates, agents and advisors shall use the
information contained in any such labels, listings and files
only in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and, if this
Agreement shall be terminated, will deliver to the Company all
copies of such information then in their possession promptly
upon the request of the Company.
Section 1.03. Board
of Directors and Committees; Section 14(f).
(a) Promptly upon the purchase by Merger Sub of Shares
pursuant to the Offer and from time to time thereafter, and
subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.03(a),
Parent shall be entitled to designate up to such number of
directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, constituting at
least a majority of the directors, on the Company Board as will
give Parent representation on the Company Board equal to the
product of the number of directors on the Company Board (giving
effect to any increase in the number of
A-6
directors pursuant to this Section 1.03) and the percentage
that the number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent and
Merger Sub bears to the total number of outstanding Shares, and
the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to, upon request by
Parent, promptly, at the Companys election, either
increase the size of the Company Board or secure the resignation
of such number of directors as is necessary to enable
Parents designees to be elected or appointed to the
Company Board and to cause Parents designees to be so
elected or appointed. At such times, the Company will use its
best efforts to cause persons designated by Parent to constitute
a majority of each committee of the Company Board, other than
any committee of the Company Board, if any, established to take
action under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that three of
the members of the Company Board as of the date hereof shall
remain members of the Company Board until the Effective Time (as
defined in Section 2.02 hereof). If the number of directors
who are members of the Company Board as of the date hereof is
reduced below three prior to the Effective Time, the remaining
directors who are members of the Company Board as of the date
hereof or their designees (or if there is only one such
director, that remaining director) shall be entitled to
designate a person (or persons) to fill such vacancy (or
vacancies).
(b) The Companys obligation to appoint designees to
the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the
Exchange Act and
Rule 14f-1
promulgated thereunder. Subject to the Parents compliance
with the final sentence of this Section 1.03(b), the
Company shall promptly take all actions, including filing an
amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 (and disseminating such
amendment to the stockholders of the Company to the extent
required by applicable Laws) containing such information with
respect to the Company and its officers and directors and
Parents designees as Section 14(f) and
Rule 14f-1
require, in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section.
Parent shall timely supply to the Company in writing and be
solely responsible for any information with respect to itself
and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by
Section 14(f) and
Rule 14f-1.
(c) Following the election or appointment of Parents
designees pursuant to this Section 1.03 and prior to the
Effective Time, if there shall be any directors of the Company
who were directors as of the date hereof, any amendment of this
Agreement, any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any
extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any
of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub or
waiver of any of the Companys rights hereunder or other
action adversely affecting the rights of stockholders of the
Company (other than Parent or Merger Sub), will require the
concurrence of a majority of such directors.
Section 1.04. Top-Up
Option.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Company
hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the
Top-Up Option) to purchase up to that
number of Shares (the Top-Up Option
Shares) equal to the lowest number of Shares that,
when added to the number of Shares collectively owned by Parent,
Merger Sub and any of Parents other Subsidiaries
immediately following consummation of the Offer shall constitute
90% of the Shares then outstanding (on a fully diluted basis,
after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares)
at a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Cash
Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 1.04(a), the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable
if the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Top-Up Option, plus the aggregate number of then-outstanding
Shares, plus the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of all options and other rights to purchase Shares,
plus the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Company Stock Plans would exceed the number of
authorized Shares.
(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised in whole, but not in
part, at any one time after the occurrence of a Top-Up Exercise
Event and prior to the occurrence of a Top-Up Termination Event.
|
|
|
(i) A Top-Up Exercise Event shall
occur upon Merger Subs acceptance for payment pursuant to
the Offer of Shares constituting, together with Shares owned
directly or indirectly by Parent or any other Subsidiaries of
Parent, at least 80 percent, but less than 90 percent,
of the Shares then outstanding. |
|
|
(ii) The Top-Up Termination Date
shall occur upon the earliest to occur of (A) the Effective
Time, (B) the termination of this Agreement, (C) the
date that is ten business days after the occurrence |
A-7
|
|
|
of a Top-Up Exercise Event, unless the Top-Up Option has been
previously exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof and (D) the date that is ten business days after the
Top-Up Notice Date unless the Top-Up Closing shall have
previously occurred. |
(c) To exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall send to
the Company a written notice (a Top-Up Exercise
Notice, and the date of receipt of which notice is
referred to herein as the Top-Up Notice
Date) specifying the place for the closing of the
purchase and sale of shares of Shares pursuant to the Top-Up
Option (the Top-Up Closing) and a date
not earlier than one business day nor later than ten business
days after the Top-Up Notice Date for the Top-Up Closing. The
Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Top-Up Exercise
Notice, deliver a written notice to Merger Sub confirming the
number of Top-Up Option Shares and the aggregate purchase price
therefor.
(d) At the Top-Up Closing, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall deliver
to Merger Sub a certificate or certificates evidencing the
applicable number of Top-Up Option Shares, provided that the
obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon
the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the condition
that no provision of any applicable Law or judgment shall
prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of
the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of any such exercise and
(ii) Merger Sub shall purchase each Top-Up Option Share
from the Company at a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share
equal to the Cash Consideration. Payment by Merger Sub of the
purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares may be made, at
Merger Subs option, by delivery of (A) immediately
available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the
Company, (B) a demand note issued by Merger Sub in
customary form that is reasonably acceptable to the parties,
(C) shares of Parent Stock (valued based on the average
closing price per share of Parent Stock over the five (5)
consecutive trading days ending on and including the second full
trading day preceding the Top-Up Closing), or (D) any
combination thereof. Any demand note issued pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a credit support
arrangement reasonably acceptable to the parties hereto.
(e) Upon the delivery by Merger Sub to the Company of the
Top-Up Exercise Notice, and the tender of the consideration
described in Section 1.04(d), Merger Sub shall be deemed to
be the holder of record of the Top-Up Option Shares issuable
upon that exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer
books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing those Top-Up Option Shares shall not then be
actually delivered to Merger Sub or the Company shall have
failed or refused to designate the bank account described in
Section 1.04(d).
(f) Certificates evidencing Top-Up Option Shares delivered
hereunder may include any legends legally required, including a
legend in substantially the following form:
|
|
|
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY
BE REOFFERED OR SOLD ONLY IF SO REGISTERED OR IF AN EXEMPTION
FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. |
(g) In the event Merger Sub exercises the Top-Up Option,
the Company shall deliver to the Exchange Agent promptly after
the Effective Time an amount of cash equal to the lesser of
(i) the aggregate amount of cash paid by Merger Sub for the
Top-Up Option Shares and (ii) the Maximum Cash Merger
Consideration, and the Exchange Agent shall use such cash to pay
the Cash Merger Consideration payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 (the excess, if any, of (i) over
(ii) shall be referred to as the Excess Cash
Amount). For purposes of this Agreement, any cash
paid to Company stockholders pursuant to the Merger as
contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be
Cash Merger Consideration, and any cash payable to holders of
Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 3.02 shall first be
paid from the Excess Cash Amount.
Section 1.05. Short
Form Merger. If, after the consummation of the
Offer and any exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of
Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and
Parents other Subsidiaries collectively represent at least
90% of the then outstanding Shares, Parent shall cause Merger
Sub to, and the Company shall execute and deliver such documents
and instruments and take such other actions as
A-8
Parent or Merger Sub may request, in order to cause the Merger
to be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable as
provided in Section 253 of the DGCL, and otherwise as
provided in Article II below.

The Merger shall become effective at such time as the
Certificate of Merger is duly filed with and accepted by the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later
time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the
Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective
being the Effective Time).
Section 2.03. Effect
of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the
Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the
DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the

ARTICLE III
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT
CORPORATIONS;
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01. Conversion
of Securities.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger
Sub or any holder of any Shares or any capital stock of Merger
Sub:
|
|
|
(i) Subject to this Article III, each Share issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Shares to be cancelled in accordance with
Section 3.01(a)(ii) and Dissenting Shares referred to in
Section 3.02) shall be converted into the right to receive,
at the election of the holder, (A) $84.00 in cash, without
interest but subject to proration as described below (the
Cash Merger Consideration) or
(B) 0.8498 shares of Parent Stock (the
Stock Merger Consideration and,
together with the Cash Merger Consideration, the
Merger Consideration), subject to
proration as described below, payable upon the surrender of the
Certificates (as defined in Section 3.03(b)). From and
after the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate
representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of
such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.03, the
Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), any
cash paid in respect of fractional shares payable pursuant to
Section 3.03(e) and any dividends or other distributions to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.03(c),
without interest. |
|
|
(ii) All Shares that are (A) held by the Company as
treasury shares or (B) owned by Parent or any wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Parent, in each case, immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease
to exist, and no cash, securities of Parent or other
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. |
|
|
(iii) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully
paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. |
(b) Subject to subparagraphs (c) through
(g) below, each holder of Shares shall be entitled to elect
(i) the number of Shares which such holder desires to
exchange for the right to receive the Cash Merger Consideration
(a Cash Merger Election), and
(ii) the number of Shares which such holder desires to
exchange for the right to receive Stock Merger Consideration (a
Stock Merger Election). Any Cash
Merger Election or Stock Merger Election shall be referred to
herein as a Merger Election, and shall
be made on a form furnished by Parent for that purpose (a
Form of Merger Election), which form
may be part of the letter of election and transmittal delivered
to former Company stockholders promptly following the Merger.
Holders of record who hold Shares as nominees, trustees or in
other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of
Merger Election on behalf of their respective beneficial
holders. Any Shares as to which the holder has not submitted a
properly completed Merger Election by the close of business on
the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made no Merger
Election and be treated as specified in
subparagraph (d)(iii) below.
(c) The maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant
to the Merger shall be (x) $84.00 multiplied by
(y) 45% of the total number of Shares canceled pursuant to
the Merger (other than Shares canceled pursuant to
Section 3.01(a)(ii)), minus the cash value of
Dissenting Shares (such amount, the Maximum Cash
Merger Consideration). For purposes of this
Section 3.01, the cash value of Dissenting
Shares assumes that the fair value, or cash
value, of each Dissenting Share equals the Cash Merger
Consideration. The maximum aggregate amount of Stock Merger
Consideration issuable pursuant to the
A-10
Merger shall be (x) 0.8498 shares of Parent Stock
multiplied by (y) 55% of the total number of Shares
canceled pursuant to the Merger (other than Shares canceled
pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii)) (such amount, the
Maximum Stock Merger Consideration).
|
|
|
(i) If the total number of Cash Merger Elections would
require aggregate cash in excess of the Maximum Cash Merger
Consideration, such Cash Merger Elections shall be subject to
proration as follows. For each Cash Merger Election, the number
of Shares that shall be converted into the right to receive the
Cash Merger Consideration shall be (A) the total number of
Shares subject to such Cash Merger Election, multiplied by
(B) the Merger Cash Proration Factor, rounded down to the
nearest Share. The Merger Cash Proration
Factor means a fraction (x) the numerator of
which shall be the Maximum Cash Merger Consideration and
(y) the denominator of which shall be the product of the
aggregate number of Shares subject to all Cash Merger Elections
made by all holders of Shares, multiplied by the Cash Merger
Consideration. All Shares subject to a Cash Merger Election,
other than Shares converted into the right to receive the Cash
Merger Consideration in accordance with this
Section 3.01(c), shall be converted into the right to
receive the Stock Merger Consideration. All prorations resulting
from this Section 3.01(c) shall be applied on a pro rata
basis, such that each Company stockholder who surrenders Shares
subject to a Cash Merger Election bears its proportionate share
of the proration, based on the percentage of the total Shares
surrendered subject to a Cash Merger Election that are
surrendered by such Company stockholder, and shall be further
subject to subparagraph (g) below, if applicable. |
|
|
(ii) If the total number of Stock Merger Elections would
require aggregate Stock Merger Consideration in excess of the
Maximum Stock Merger Consideration, such Stock Merger Elections
shall be subject to proration as follows. For each Stock Merger
Election, the number of Shares that shall be converted into the
right to receive the Stock Merger Consideration shall be
(A) the total number of Shares subject to such Stock Merger
Election multiplied by (B) the Merger Stock Proration
Factor, rounded down to the nearest Share. The
Merger Stock Proration Factor means a
fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum
Stock Merger Consideration and (y) the denominator of which
shall be the product of the aggregate number of Shares subject
to all Stock Merger Elections made by all holders of Shares
multiplied by the Stock Merger Consideration. All Shares subject
to a Stock Merger Election, other than that number converted
into the right to receive the Stock Merger Consideration in
accordance with this Section 3.01(c), shall be converted
into the right to receive the Cash Merger Consideration. All
prorations resulting from this Section 3.01(c) shall be
applied on a pro rata basis, such that each Company stockholder
who surrendered Shares subject to a Stock Merger Election bears
its proportionate share of the proration, based on the
percentage of the total Shares surrendered subject to a Stock
Merger Election that are surrendered by such Company
stockholder, and shall be further subject to
subparagraph (g) below, if applicable. |
(d) Each Share canceled in exchange for the right to
receive the Merger Consideration but which is not surrendered
subject to a valid Merger Election, and any Dissenting Share as
to which the holder does not validly perfect, or later waives,
withdraws or loses the right to appraisal and payment under the
DGCL prior to the Election Deadline, shall be deemed to be
surrendered subject to the following Merger Elections:
|
|
|
(i) If the Cash Merger Elections exceed the Maximum Cash
Merger Consideration such that proration of Cash Merger
Elections occur, Shares validly tendered without a valid Merger
Election will be deemed tendered subject to a Stock Merger
Election; |
|
|
(ii) If the Stock Merger Elections exceed the Maximum Stock
Merger Consideration such that proration of Stock Merger
Elections occurs, Shares validly tendered without a valid
Election will be deemed tendered subject to a Cash Merger
Election; and |
|
|
(iii) If no proration occurs, Shares validly tendered
without a valid Merger Election, and any Dissenting Share as to
which the holder does not validly perfect, or later waives,
withdraws or loses the right to appraisal and payment under the
DGCL prior to the Election Deadline, will be deemed tendered in
part subject to a Cash Merger Election and in part subject to a
Stock Merger Election to the extent of the Cash Merger
Consideration and Stock Merger Consideration remaining after
taking into account the |
A-11
|
|
|
Cash Merger Elections and Stock Merger Elections made by those
Company stockholders who affirmatively made Merger Elections in
connection with the Merger. The remaining available Cash Merger
Consideration and Stock Merger Consideration will be allocated
on a pro rata basis among the Shares tendered by those Company
stockholders who validly tendered Shares but did not tender
subject to a valid Merger Election, and any Dissenting Share as
to which the holder does not validly perfect, or later waives,
withdraws or loses the right to appraisal and payment under the
DGCL prior to the Election Deadline, such that each such Share
is exchanged for the same proportion of Cash Merger
Consideration and Stock Merger Consideration, based on the
respective percentages of available Cash Merger Consideration
and Stock Merger Consideration remaining after taking into
account the affirmative Merger Elections of the tendering
Company stockholders. |
|
|
(iv) Any Dissenting Shares as to which the holder fails to
perfect or later waives, withdraws or loses the right to
appraisal and payment under the DGCL after the Election Deadline
shall be deemed tendered subject to a Cash Merger Election, and
will remain subject to proration to the same extent as if such
holder surrendered such formerly Dissenting Shares promptly
following the Effective Time subject to a valid Cash Merger
Election. |
(e) Change in Shares. If, between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of
Parent Stock or the Shares shall have been changed into, or
exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different
class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or
exchange of shares, the Cash Consideration, Parent Stock
Consideration, Maximum Cash Consideration, Maximum Parent Stock
Consideration, Cash Proration Factor, Parent Stock Proration
Factor, Cash Merger Consideration, the Stock Merger
Consideration, the Maximum Cash Merger Consideration, the
Maximum Stock Merger Consideration, the Merger Cash Proration
Factor, the Merger Stock Proration Factor shall be
correspondingly adjusted as appropriate to provide the holders
of Shares and Company Stock Options the same economic effect as
contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
(f) Associated Rights. References in this Agreement
to Parent Stock shall include, unless the context
requires otherwise, the associated preferred share purchase
rights (Parent Rights) issued pursuant
to the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2000,
between Parent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor in
interest to Equiserve Trust Company, N.A. and First Chicago
Trust Company of New York )(as amended prior to the Effective
Time, the Parent Rights Agreement).
References in this Agreement to Shares shall
include, unless the context requires otherwise, the associated
preferred share purchase rights (Company
Rights) issued pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Rights Agreement dated as of November 16, 1999 by
and between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer
Corporation, as Rights Agent, as amended prior to the Effective
Time (the Company Rights Agreement).
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if the product of (A) the number of shares of
Parent Stock to be issued in the Offer and the Merger in
exchange for Shares and (B) Testing Price (as defined
below) of Parent Stock as reported on the NYSE on the last
Business Day before the date of the public announcement of the
Offer (or other applicable valuation date under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(2) for purposes of
testing the continuity of interest requirement under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)) (such date the
Valuation Date and such product the
Value of Stock Consideration) is less
than 40% of the sum of the Value of Stock Consideration and the
amount of Non-Stock Consideration (as defined below), then the
amount of cash consideration to be paid in the Merger in
exchange for Shares shall be reduced and the number of shares of
Parent Stock issued in the Merger in exchange for Shares shall
be increased pro-rata based on the cash consideration to which
the Company stockholder is otherwise entitled pursuant to the
Merger under this Agreement so as to cause such percentage to be
equal to 40%. The additional shares of Parent Stock to be issued
in lieu of cash pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
determined using the Stock Merger Consideration. For purposes of
this paragraph, the Non-Stock
Consideration shall mean (a) any cash
consideration paid pursuant to the Offer and the Merger,
(b) any Company Distribution, and (c) any other cash
or property (other than shares of Parent Stock) that is
transferred, paid or distributed by Parent (or any Person
related to Parent within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(3)) to holders of Shares
in exchange for Shares in connection with the Offer and Merger
(including any cash paid on account of dissenting shares and any
payments of expenses
A-12
incurred in connection with the disposition of fractional shares
in the Offer and the Merger, but excluding any payment pursuant
to Section 1.04(g)). The Testing
Price shall be the lowest of the following
amounts: (i) the closing Parent Stock trading price on the
Valuation Date, (ii) the average between the high and low
Parent Stock trading price on the Valuation Date, and
(iii) the volume weighted average of the trading price of
all shares of Parent Stock traded on the Valuation Date.
Section 3.02. Dissenting
Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time that are held by a Person who shall not have
voted to adopt this Agreement and who properly exercises and
perfects appraisal rights for such Shares in accordance with
Section 262 of the DGCL (the Dissenting
Shares) will not be converted into a right to
receive the applicable Merger Consideration as described in
Section 3.01, but shall be converted into the right to
receive such consideration as may be determined to be due
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however,
that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall
waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal and payment under
the DGCL after the Election Deadline, the right of such holder
to such appraisal of its Dissenting Shares shall cease and such
Shares shall be deemed canceled and converted as of the
Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 3.01 to which a holder
who made a Cash Merger Election would be entitled, any cash paid
in respect of fractional shares payable to any such holder
pursuant to Section 3.03(e) and any dividends or other
distributions to which any such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.03(c). The Company shall give Parent
(a) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal

Company stockholders who are entitled thereto pursuant to
Section 3.01. Except as contemplated by
Sections 3.03(c) and 3.03(e) hereof, the Exchange Fund
shall not be used for any other purpose.
(b) Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange
Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate formerly
representing Shares (a Certificate),
other than Parent or Merger Sub or any wholly-owned Subsidiary
of Parent or Merger Sub, (i) a letter of election and
transmittal (which will include the Form of Merger Election)
that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper
delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, which letter

therefor (A) one or more shares of Parent Stock
representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that
such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01
(after taking into account any applicable proration or other
adjustments and aggregating any fractional shares resulting from
all Shares surrendered by such holder pursuant to the Merger),
(B) the Cash Merger Consideration that such holder is
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01 in respect of
the Shares represented by such Certificate and/or (C) a
check in the amount of the cash that such holder is entitled to

Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No
interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable
pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c) or
Section 3.03(e). In the event of a transfer of ownership of
Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the
Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued and paid with
respect to such Shares to such a transferee if the Certificate
representing such transferred Shares is presented to the
Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 3.03(b),
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect
such transfer and evidence that any applicable stock transfer
taxes have been paid.
(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made

record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to any holder
of any unsurrendered Certificate who is entitled to receive
Parent Stock upon such surrender, and no cash payment in respect
of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant
to Section 3.03(e), unless and until the holder of such
Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with
Section 3.03(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or
other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the stock
certificates representing whole shares of Parent Stock to be
issued in exchange therefor, without interest,
(i) promptly, (A) the amount of any cash payable
pursuant to any Cash Merger Election and any cash payable with
respect to a fractional share of Parent Stock to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.03(e) and
(B) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with
respect to such whole shares of Parent Stock and (ii) at
the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other
distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but

(d) The Merger Consideration delivered upon surrender of
Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof (including any
cash paid pursuant to Section 3.03(c) or
Section 3.03(e)) shall be deemed to have been paid in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares represented
by such Certificates.
(e) In lieu of any fractional share of Parent Stock that
otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Merger, each holder
of Shares who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction
of a share of Parent Stock pursuant to the Merger will be paid
an amount in cash (without interest) equal to such holders
respective proportionate interest in the proceeds from the sale
or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent for the
Merger, on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate
fractional shares of Parent Stock issued pursuant to the Merger.
As soon as practicable following the Election Deadline, the
Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number
of whole shares of Parent Stock issuable to the holders of
Shares pursuant to the Merger including fractional shares, over
(ii) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Stock
to be distributed to former holders of Shares pursuant to the
Merger (such excess being collectively called the
Excess Merger Parent Stock). The
Exchange Agent, as agent and trustee for the former holders of
Shares, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable sell the
Excess Merger Parent Stock at the prevailing prices on the NYSE.
The sales of the Excess Merger Parent Stock by the Exchange
Agent shall be executed on the NYSE through one or more member
firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the
extent practicable. Parent shall pay all commissions, transfer
taxes and other
out-of-pocket
transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of
the Exchange Agent and costs associated with calculating and
distributing the respective cash amounts payable to the
applicable former holders of Shares, incurred in connection with
such sales of Excess Merger Parent Stock. Until the proceeds of
such sales have been distributed to the former holders of Shares
to whom fractional shares of Parent Stock otherwise would have
been issued in the Offer, the Exchange Agent will hold such
proceeds in trust for such former holders. As soon as
practicable after the
A-14
determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former holders
of Shares in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock, the
Exchange Agent shall distribute such amounts to such former
holders.
(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains
undistributed to the holders of Shares six months after the
Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and,
from and after such delivery to Parent, any holders of Shares
who have not theretofore complied with this Article III
shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger
Consideration payable in respect of such Shares, any cash paid
in respect of fractional shares of Parent Stock to which they
are entitled pursuant to Section 3.03(e) and any dividends
or other distributions with respect to Parent Stock to which
they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.03(c), in each
case, without any interest thereon.
(g) Neither Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation,
the Exchange Agent nor the Company shall be liable to any holder
of Shares for any such shares of Parent Stock (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange
Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned
property, escheat or similar Law.
(h) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed
and, if required by Surviving Corporation, the posting by such
Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Surviving
Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may
be made against Surviving Corporation with respect to such
Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration
payable in respect of the Shares represented by such
Certificate, any cash paid in respect of fractional shares of
Parent Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant
to Section 3.03(e) and any dividends or other distributions
to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to
Section 3.03(c), in each case, without any interest thereon.
(i) Parent or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to the Offer or this Agreement to any holder of Shares
such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent are required to
deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax Law, with respect
to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so
withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having
been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of whom such
deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Exchange
Agent.
(j) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in
the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any
interest and other income resulting from such investments shall
be paid to Parent upon termination of the Exchange Fund pursuant
to Section 3.03(f). In the event the cash in the Exchange
Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment
obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent
shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount
that is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required
to fully satisfy such payment obligations.
Section 3.04. Stock
Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter
there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares
theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company. From and
after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates
representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to
such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or mandated by
Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented
to the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, for
any reason, in accordance with Section 3.03(b), shall be
canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration payable in
respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates,
any cash paid in respect of fractional shares of Parent Stock to
which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to
Section 3.03(e) and any dividends or other distributions to
which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to
Section 3.03(c), in each case, net of any required
withholding for Tax and without any interest thereon.
Section 3.05. Stock
Options.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each
outstanding Company Stock Option shall become fully vested and
exercisable. At the Effective Time and without any action on the
part of the parties hereto or
A-15
any holder of such Company Stock Options, each then outstanding
Company Stock Option shall be canceled and converted into and
shall thereafter represent only the right to receive:
|
|
|
(i) a payment in cash equal to (i) 45% of the Cash
Merger Consideration, minus 45% of the per Share cash
exercise price for such respective Shares under such Company
Stock Options, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock
Options; and |
|
|
(ii) a number of shares of Parent Stock equal to
(i) 0.46739 multiplied by (ii) the number
determined pursuant to the following formula: |
Where X = the number to be multiplied by 0.46739
Y = the total number of Shares subject to the Company Stock
Option
A = 0.46739 times the average closing sale prices for a share of
Parent Stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on
and including the second full trading day prior to the Effective
Time plus $37.80
B = the exercise price of the Shares subject to the Company
Stock Option;
provided, however, that in lieu of any fractional shares of
Parent Stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to this
subparagraph (ii), the holder will receive an amount in
cash (without interest) equal to such holders respective
proportionate interest in the proceeds from the sale or sales in
the open market by the Exchange Agent for the Offer, on behalf
of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional shares of
Parent Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to this
subparagraph (ii).
(b) The amount of cash and number of shares of Parent Stock
to which the optionee otherwise would be entitled pursuant to
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above shall be reduced
by the total amount of withholding for applicable Taxes with
respect to the aggregate Company Stock Options canceled and
converted into the right to receive cash and Parent Stock
pursuant to this Section 3.05. Such amounts for withholding
shall first be deducted from the amounts otherwise payable
pursuant to subparagraph (a) and, to the extent
additional withholding is required, the number of shares of
Parent Stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to
subparagraph (b) will be reduced by the amount of
remaining withholding, based on the value of a share of Parent
Stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on and
including the second full trading day prior to the Effective
Time.
(c) Parent shall cause Merger Sub to make all such payments
as promptly as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15)
Business Days, after the Effective Time. As promptly as
practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall
(x) effect any amendments to the Company Stock Plans or any
instruments granting or defining the rights of Company Stock
Options, (y) obtain any necessary consents or approvals of
the applicable holders of such Company Stock Options, and
(z) take any other actions as may be permitted or required
under the terms of the Company Stock Plans, any instruments
granting or defining the rights of holders of such Company Stock
Options, or applicable Law, necessary to effectuate this
Section 3.05. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company
shall provide notice to each holder of a Company Stock Option
outstanding under the Company Stock Plans describing the
accelerated vesting and cash out of such Company Stock Options
in accordance with this Section 3.05.
Section 3.06. Employee
Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take all
requisite action with respect to the Companys 2000

Company ESPP and the terms of any offering period(s) commencing
prior to the Expiration Date) that are necessary to provide
that, as of the Effective Time, participants and former

transact business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction
in which the properties owned, leased, licensed or operated by
it or the nature of
A-18
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary,
except in all cases as would not, individually or in the

Adverse Effect. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock
or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company are
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive
rights and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company.

Section 4.04. Authority;
Non-Contravention; Approvals.
(a) The Company has all necessary power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations
hereunder and, subject to obtaining the Company Stockholder
Approval, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of this Agreement, and the
consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the
Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to
consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (other than obtaining the Company Stockholder
Approval and the filing and recordation of the Certificate of
Merger as required by the DGCL). This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub,
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating
to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally
and the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law). If required by the DGCL, the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled
to vote at a duly called and held meeting of the Companys
stockholders will be the only vote of the holders of capital
stock of the Company necessary to approve and adopt this
Agreement and the Merger (the Company Stockholder
Approval).
(b) At meetings duly called and held on December 13
and 14, 2005, the Company Board unanimously (i) determined
that this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated
hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are advisable, fair
to and in the best interests of the Company and the
Companys stockholders, (ii) approved and adopted this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
the Offer and the Merger and (iii) resolved to recommend
approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger by the
Company stockholders and that the Company stockholders tender
their Shares pursuant to the Offer. Such determinations,
approvals, resolutions and recommendations are in effect as of
the date hereof. The actions taken by the Company Board
constitute approval of the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement and
the other transactions contemplated thereby and hereby by the
Company Board under the provisions of Section 203 of the
DGCL, such that Merger Sub and Parent becoming an
interested stockholder as a result of the Offer is
approved by the Company Board for purposes of Section 203
and the restrictions on business combinations as set
forth in Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply to the Offer,
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or
hereby. No other takeover statute or other similar statute or
regulation relating to the Company is applicable to the Offer,
the Merger, the Second Merger or the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Without giving effect to the
execution of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any
affiliate or associate of the Company is, or has been during the
last three (3) years, an interested stockholder (as
defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) of Parent.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Offer and
the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not
and will not violate, conflict with, give rise to the right to
modify or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute
a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the
termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or
result in a right of termination or acceleration under, or
require any offer to purchase or any prepayment of any debt, or
result in the creation of any Lien,
A-19
security interest or encumbrance upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the respective
certificate of incorporation or bylaws or similar governing
documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(ii) any statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation,
judgment, decree, order, injunction, writ, permit or license of
any Governmental Entity applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets,
subject in the case of consummation, to obtaining the Company
Required Statutory Approvals and the Company Stockholder
Approval, or (iii) any Company Permit or Contract to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties or assets may be bound or affected, other
than, in the case of (ii) and (iii) above, such
violations, conflicts, rights to modify, breaches, defaults,
terminations, accelerations or creations of Liens, security
interests or encumbrances that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect.
(d) Except for (i) the filings by the Company required
by the HSR Act, (ii) the filings by the Company required by
Antitrust Laws of foreign jurisdictions, (iii) the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (iv) the
filing of the Certificate of Merger and (v) any required
filings under the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ National
Market (the filings and approvals referred to in
clauses (i) through (v) collectively, the
Company Required Statutory Approvals),
no declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, or
authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity
is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Company or the consummation by the Company of the Merger or
the other transactions contemplated hereby, other than such
declarations, filings, registrations, notices, authorizations,
consents or approvals which, if not made or obtained, as the
case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate,

other correspondence received by the Company or its attorneys
from the SEC.
(b) Each of the principal executive officer of the Company
and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each
former principal executive officer of the Company and each
former principal financial officer of the Company, as
applicable) has made all certifications required by
Rule 13a-14 or
15d-14 under the
Exchange Act or Sections 302 and 906 of SOX and the rules

or 8-K or the
applicable rules of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis
during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of
the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their
operations and
A-20

venture, off-balance sheet partnership or any similar contract
or arrangement (including any contract or arrangement relating
to any transaction or relationship between or among the Company
and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any
unconsolidated Affiliate, including any structured finance,
special purpose or limited purpose entity or Person, on the
other hand or any off-balance sheet arrangements (as
defined in Item 303(a) of
Regulation S-K of
the SEC)), where the result, purpose or intended effect of such
contract or arrangement is to avoid disclosure of any material
transaction involving, or material Liabilities of, the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries in the Companys or such
Subsidiarys published financial statements or other of the
Company SEC Documents.

and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act) required in order for the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company to engage in the
review and evaluation process mandated by the Exchange Act and
the rules promulgated thereunder. The Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably
designed to ensure that all information (both financial and
non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that
all such information is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management as appropriate to allow timely

Financial Officer of the Company required under the Exchange Act
with respect to such reports.

terms of the Company Permits and all applicable Laws relating to
the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses,

Regulation S-K
promulgated under the Securities Act), (ii) relates to any
indebtedness in excess of $500,000; (iii) provides for
aggregate payments from it or any of its Subsidiaries in excess

Contracts). Except for Company Material Contracts
which expire pursuant to their terms after the date hereof, each
of the Company Material Contracts is valid and binding on the
Company or its Subsidiary party thereto and, to the
Companys knowledge, each other Person party thereto, and
is in full force and effect and enforceable against the Company
or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with its
terms (except as enforcement may be limited by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights or
by general equity principles and (ii) to the extent
applicable, securities laws limitations on the enforceability of
provisions regarding indemnification in connection with the sale

(b) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation, breach or default under any of the Company Material
Contracts, and there has not occurred any event that, with the
lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute
such a violation, breach or default, except for such breaches or
defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse
Effect. No other Person has alleged or claimed that the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Companys knowledge,
any sublicensee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is in
violation, breach or default under any Company Material
Contract, except for such breaches or defaults that would not,

the Company and its Subsidiaries, no other party to a Company
Material Contract is in violation, breach or default under any
of the Company Material Contracts, and there has not occurred

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
A-23
Section 4.11. Taxes.
(a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
(i) duly and timely filed with the appropriate Tax
authority all Tax Returns required to be filed by it through the
date hereof, and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and
complete in all respects and (ii) paid all Taxes due and
owing (whether or not shown due on any Tax Returns), except in
each case where the failure to pay such Taxes or the failure of
such Tax Returns to be true, correct or complete in all respects
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries currently is the beneficiary
of any extension of time within which to file any material Tax
Return. No written claim has ever been made by a Tax authority
in a jurisdiction where the Company and its Subsidiaries do not
file Tax Returns that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.
(b) The unpaid Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries
did not, as of the date of the financial statements contained in
the most recent Company SEC Filings, exceed the reserve for Tax
liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established
to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set
forth on the face of the balance sheets (rather than in any
notes thereto) contained in such financial statements. Since the
date of the financial statements in the most recent Company SEC
Filings filed prior to the date hereof, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability for Taxes
outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise
inconsistent with past custom and practice, except for any
liability for Taxes which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect.
(c) There are no Liens for Taxes upon any property or asset
of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, except for Liens
(i) for current Taxes the payment of which is not yet
delinquent, or for Taxes contested in good faith and reserved
against in accordance with GAAP and reflected in the Company SEC
Reports filed prior to the date hereof or (ii) that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(d) No deficiencies for Taxes with respect to any of the
Company and its Subsidiaries have been set forth or claimed in
writing, or proposed or assessed by a Tax authority. There are
no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, proposed or
threatened audits, investigations, disputes or claims or other
actions for or relating to any Liability for Taxes with respect
to any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and there are no
matters under discussion with any Tax authority, or known to the
Company, with respect to Taxes that are likely to result in a
material additional Liability for Taxes with respect to any of
the Company and its Subsidiaries. No issues relating to Taxes of
the Company or its Subsidiaries were raised by the relevant Tax
authority in any completed audit or examination that would
reasonably be expected to recur with a Company Material Adverse
Effect on Taxes in a later taxable period. The Company has
delivered or made available to Parent true and complete copies
of federal, state and local income Tax Returns of each of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and their predecessors for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and
true and complete copies of all examination reports and
statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by any
of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any predecessor, with
respect to Taxes. None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any predecessor has waived any statute of limitations in
respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect
to a Tax assessment or deficiency, or has made any request in
writing for any such extension or waiver.
(e) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has withheld
and paid all material Taxes required to have been withheld and
paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee,
independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third
party, and all Tax Returns (including without limitation all IRS
Forms W-2 and 1099) required with respect thereto have been
properly completed and timely filed in all material respects.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has classified
any individual as an independent contractor or
similar non-employee status who, according to any Company
Benefit Plan or applicable Law, should have been classified as
an employee, except to the extent that the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(f) There are no Tax sharing agreements or similar
arrangements (including indemnity arrangements) with respect to
or involving any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, after
the Closing Date, none of the
A-24
Company and its Subsidiaries shall be bound by any such Tax
sharing agreements or similar arrangements or have any Liability
thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods prior to the
Closing Date.
(g) Except for the affiliated group of which the Company is
the common parent, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is
not and has never been a member of an affiliated group of
corporations within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code
or any group that has filed a combined, consolidated or unitary
Tax Return. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
Liability for the Taxes of any Person (including an individual,
corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture, estate, trust, association,
organization, labor union or other entity or Governmental
Entity) other than the Company and its Subsidiaries
(i) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or
any similar provision of state, local or foreign law),
(ii) as a transferee or successor, (iii) by contract,
or (iv) otherwise.
(h) The Company has not constituted either a
distributing corporation or a controlled
corporation in a distribution of stock qualifying for
tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code
(i) in the two (2) years prior to the date of this
Agreement, or (ii) in a distribution which could otherwise
constitute part of a plan or series of related
transactions (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of
the Code) that includes the Offer, the Merger and the Second
Merger.
(i) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
taken any action or knows of any fact that could be reasonably
expected to prevent the Merger, taken together with the Offer
and the Second Merger, from qualifying as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code.
(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
been a party to a reportable transaction, as such
term is defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(b)(1) (other than such transactions that
have been properly reported) or to a transaction that is or is
substantially similar to a listed transaction, as
such term is defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(b)(2), or any other transaction requiring
disclosure under analogous provisions of state, local or foreign
Tax law. The Company has disclosed on its federal income Tax
Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a
substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the
meaning of Code Section 6662.
Section 4.12. Employee
Benefit Plans; ERISA.
(a) Section 4.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter
includes a complete list, as of the date hereof, of each
material employee benefit plan, program or policy providing
benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or
dependent thereof that is sponsored or maintained by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries contributes or is obligated to contribute, or with
respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or
may have any Liability, including any employee welfare benefit
plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA or any
employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of
Section 3(2) of ERISA (whether or not such plan is subject
to ERISA) and any material bonus, incentive, deferred
compensation, vacation, stock purchase, stock option, severance,
employment, change of control or fringe benefit or similar
arrangement, agreement, plan, program or policy (collectively,
the Company Benefit Plans). The
Company has made available to Parent a copy of each of the
Company Benefit Plans, including any amendments thereto, and
where applicable, any related trust agreement, annuity or
insurance contract, the most recent actuarial valuation, the
most recent summary plan description, the most recent
prospectus, the most recent IRS determination letter, and the
most recent annual report (Form 5500) and audited financial
statements.
(b) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect: (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries have complied,
and are now in compliance, with all provisions of all laws and
regulations applicable to Company Benefit Plans and each Company
Benefit Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms,
including the making of all required contributions and the
reflection by the Company of all required accruals on its
financial statements; (ii) no event or condition exists
which would reasonably be expected to subject the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to Liability in connection with the Company
Benefit Plans or any plan, program, or policy sponsored or
contributed to by any of their respective ERISA Affiliates other
than the provision of benefits thereunder in the ordinary
course; and (iii) there are no pending or, to the
Companys knowledge, threatened Actions (other
A-25
than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) relating to
Company Benefit Plans which have been asserted or instituted and
which would reasonably be expected to result in any Liability of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) In no event will the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or any other related agreement, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including,
without limitation, the Offer), or the Company Stockholder
Approval (either alone or in conjunction with any other event,
such as termination of employment) result in, cause the
accelerated vesting, exercisability, funding or delivery of, or
increase the amount or value of, any material payment or benefit
to any current or former employee, officer or director of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or
dependent thereof or result in a limitation on the right of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or
receive a reversion of assets from any Company Benefit Plan or
related trust.
(d) Section 4.12(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter
identifies each Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be a
qualified plan within the meaning of
Section 401(a) of the Code or is intended to be similarly
qualified or registered under applicable foreign law
(collectively, the Company Qualified
Plans). Except as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect, the IRS (or other relevant foreign regulatory
agency) has issued a favorable determination letter (or similar
approval under foreign law) with respect to each Company
Qualified Plan and the related trust that has not been revoked,
and the Company knows of no existing circumstances or events
that have occurred that would reasonably be expected to
adversely affect the qualified status of any Company Qualified
Plan or the related trust, which cannot be cured without a
Company Material Adverse Effect.
(e) No Company Benefit Plan or Company ERISA Affiliate Plan
is, or has ever been, subject to Title IV or
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the
Code.
(f) No Company Benefit Plan or Company ERISA Affiliate Plan
is, or has ever been, a Multiemployer Plan.
(g) There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to
which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party,
including but not limited to the provisions of this Agreement,
that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the
payment of any material amount that would not be deductible
pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.
(h) No amount that could be received (whether in cash or
property or the vesting of property), as a result of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other related
agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or the stockholder approval of the Merger
(either alone or in conjunction with any other event, such as
termination of employment), by any employee, officer or director
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who is a
disqualified individual (as such term is defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G1) under any
Company Benefit Plan or otherwise could be characterized as a
parachute payment (as defined in
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code). The Company has made
available to Parent all necessary information to determine, as
of the date hereof, the estimated maximum amount that could be
paid to each disqualified individual in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement under all
employment, severance and termination agreements, other
compensation arrangements and Company Benefit Plans currently in
effect, assuming that the individuals employment with the
Company is terminated immediately after the Effective Time. The

penalties imposed with respect to the excise tax).

Section 6.03. No
Solicitation by the Company.
(a) After the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time
or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers, directors
or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, and the
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its
Subsidiaries attorneys, accountants, investment bankers,

(Representatives) not to, directly or
indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce any
inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or
announcement of, a Company Acquisition Proposal,
(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or furnish to any Person any nonpublic information
with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any

Proposal (except to disclose the existence of the provisions of
this Section 6.03), or (iii) enter into any letter of
intent or similar document or any Contract (whether binding or
not) contemplating or otherwise relating to a Company
Acquisition Proposal. The Company and its Subsidiaries and their
officers, directors and employees will immediately cease, and
the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its
Representatives to cease, any and all existing discussions or
negotiations with a Person with respect to a Company Acquisition
Proposal. To the extent not already requested, the Company shall
as soon as practicable demand that each Person which has within
the 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement executed
a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their
Representatives with respect to such Persons consideration
of a possible Company Acquisition Transaction to immediately
return or destroy (which destruction shall be certified in
writing by such Person to the Company) all confidential
information heretofore furnished by the Company or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their
Representatives to such Person or any of its Affiliates or
Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03(a),
the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide
written Company Acquisition Proposal from a Person (a
Company Potential Acquiror) which the
Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with
a nationally recognized, independent financial advisor and its
outside legal counsel, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to
result in, a Company Superior Proposal, take the following
actions; provided that (x) the Company has first
given Parent a written notice that states that the Company has
received such Company Acquisition Proposal and otherwise
includes the information set forth in Section 6.03(c) (a
Company Superior
Proposal Notice), and (y) such
A-45
Company Acquisition Proposal was not solicited after the date of
this Agreement, was made after the date of this Agreement and
did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.03:
|
|
|
(i) furnish information to the Company Potential Acquiror;
provided that (A) prior to furnishing any such
information, the Company receives from the Company Potential
Acquiror an executed confidentiality agreement (a
Competing Confidentiality Agreement)
containing terms at least as restrictive as the terms contained
in the Confidentiality Agreement dated November 16, 2005
between Parent and the Company (the Confidentiality
Agreement), and (B) contemporaneously with
furnishing any such nonpublic information to the Company
Potential Acquiror, the Company furnishes such nonpublic
information to Parent (or, with respect to any such nonpublic
information that has previously been furnished to Parent or its
Representatives, a list identifying such nonpublic information
delivered to Parent and its Representatives); and |
|
|
(ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations
with the Company Potential Acquiror with respect to such Company
Acquisition Proposal. |
(c) As promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within
48 hours) after receipt of a Company Acquisition Proposal
or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which could
reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition
Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice
of the material terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition
Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or
group making such Company Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry, and a copy of all written materials provided in
connection with such Company Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry. After receipt of such Company Acquisition Proposal,
request or inquiry, the Company shall promptly keep Parent
informed in all material respects of the status and details
(including material amendments or proposed material amendments)
of such Company Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and
shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials
subsequently provided in connection with such Company
Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.
(d) For a period of not less than five (5) Business
Days after Parents receipt of each Company Superior
Proposal Notice, the Company shall, if requested by Parent,
negotiate in good faith with Parent to revise this Agreement so
that the Company Acquisition Proposal that constituted a Company
Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Company Superior
Proposal (a Former Company Superior
Proposal). The terms and conditions of this
Section 6.03 shall again apply to any inquiry or proposal
made by any Person who withdraws or materially amends a Company
Superior Proposal or who made a Former Company Superior Proposal
(after withdrawal or after such time as their proposal is a
Former Company Superior Proposal).
(e) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof
shall (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent
or Merger Sub, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a
manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval and
recommendation by the Company Board that the Company
stockholders tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (as set
forth in the Schedule 14D-9), and that such stockholders
adopt and approve this Agreement or the Merger,
(ii) approve any letter of intent, agreement in principle,
acquisition agreement or similar Contract relating to a Company
Acquisition Proposal or (iii) approve or recommend, or
publicly propose to approve or recommend, a Company Acquisition
Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Company Board or any committee thereof may
take any or all of the actions described in (i) and
(iii) above (in each case, a Company Change of
Recommendation) if, prior to receipt of the
Company Stockholder Approval:
|
|
|
(w) The Company Board shall have determined in good faith,
after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to
take such action would reasonably be likely to constitute a
violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; |
|
|
(x) The Company Board has notified Parent in writing of the
determination described in clause (w) above; and |
|
|
(y) in the case of any such actions taken in connection
with a Company Acquisition Proposal, at least five
(5) Business Days following receipt by Parent of the notice
required pursuant to clause (x) above, and taking into
account any revised proposal made by Parent pursuant to subpara- |
A-46
|
|
|
graph (d) above since receipt of such notice, the Company
Board maintains its determination described in clause (w)
above. |
(f) The Company shall not submit, or propose to submit, a
Company Acquisition Proposal to the vote of its stockholders
prior to termination of this Agreement.
(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Company or the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the
Companys stockholders a position contemplated by
Rules 14d-9 and
14e-2(a) promulgated
under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Company shall not effect a Company Change of Recommendation
unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of
Section 6.03(e).
Section 6.04. Access
to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall each
afford to the other and its Representatives reasonable access
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice throughout
the period prior to the Effective Time to their respective
officers, employees, Representatives, properties, books,
contracts, commitments, files and records and, during such
period, shall furnish promptly such information concerning its
businesses, properties and personnel as the other party shall
reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
Parent nor the Company shall be required to provide any
information which it reasonably believes it may not provide to
the other party by reason of any Contractual or any other legal
restrictions, including applicable Laws, or which it believes is
competitively sensitive information, but shall use its best
efforts to obtain a consent to disclosure of such information.
In addition, each party may designate any competitively
sensitive information provided to the other under this Agreement
as outside counsel only. Such information shall be
given only to outside counsel of the recipient. Each party will
use reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the
businesses of the other party and its Subsidiaries that may
result from the requests for access, data and information
hereunder.
(b) The Company also will consult with Parent regarding its
business in a prompt manner and on a regular basis.
(c) All nonpublic information provided to, or obtained by,
a party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be Proprietary Information for purposes of the
Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which shall continue in
force until the Effective Time; provided that Parent and
the Company may disclose such information as may be necessary in
connection with seeking the Parent Required Statutory Approvals,
the Company Required Statutory Approvals and the Company
Stockholder Approval.
(d) The Company shall provide to the Parent Financial
Advisor and its advisors reasonable access during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice throughout the period
prior to the Effective Time to the Companys officers,
employees, Representatives, properties, books, contracts,
commitments, files and records and, during such period, shall
furnish promptly such information concerning its businesses,
properties and personnel as the Parent Financial Advisor shall
reasonably request for purposes of conducting a customary
underwriter due diligence investigation.
Section 6.05. Employee
Benefits.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, Company Benefit
Plans in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall remain in
effect with respect to employees of the Company (or its
Subsidiaries), covered by such plans at the Effective Time until
such time as Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, the terms
of this Agreement and the terms of such plans, either transfer
employees and former employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (Transferred Employees)
to existing benefit plans of the Parent or Merger Sub or adopt
new benefit plans with respect to such Transferred Employees
(the Transferred Employee Plans).
Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall
cooperate in reviewing, evaluating and analyzing Company Benefit
Plans with a view towards determining appropriate Transferred
Employee Plans. Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to,
with respect to all Transferred Employee Plans, (i) provide
each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries with service or
other credit for all limitations as to preexisting conditions,
exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and
coverage requirements applicable to employees of the Company or
its Subsidiaries under any Transferred Employee Plan that is a
welfare plan that
A-47
such employees may be eligible to participate in after the
Effective Time, to the extent that such employee would receive
credit for such conditions under the corresponding welfare plan
in which any such employee participated immediately prior to the
Effective Time, (ii) provide each employee of the Company
or its Subsidiaries with credit for any co-payments and
deductibles paid in satisfying any applicable deductible or
out-of-pocket
requirements under any Transferred Employee Plan that is a
welfare plan that such employees are eligible to participate in
after the Effective Time, to the extent that such employee would
have received credit for such co-payment or deductible under the
corresponding Company welfare plan in which the applicable
employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time,
(iii) provide each employee with credit for all service for
purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (but not
for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan)
with the Company and its Subsidiaries, under each employee
benefit plan, program, or arrangement of Parent or its
Subsidiaries in which such employees are eligible to participate
after the Effective Time, and (iv) provide benefits under
medical, dental, vision and similar health and welfare plans
that are in the aggregate no less favorable than those provided
to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that in no event shall the
employees be entitled to any credit to the extent that it would
result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same
period of service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 6.05, Parent shall have no obligation to
provide any credit for service, co-payments, deductibles paid,
or for any purpose, unless and until Parent has received such
supporting documentation as Parent may reasonably deem to be
necessary in order to verify the appropriate credit to be
provided.
(b) If requested by Parent at least seven (7) days
prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate any and
all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify under
Section 401(k) of the Code, effective not later than the
last Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time. In
the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be
terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that
such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution
of the Company Board (the form and substance of which shall be
subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than the day
immediately preceding the Effective Time. Regardless of whether
such 401(k) plans are terminated, as of the last Business Day
prior to the Effective Time, all account balances in such plans
shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable.
(c) The foregoing notwithstanding, Parent shall, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries to, honor in accordance with their terms
all benefits accrued through the Effective Time under Company
Benefit Plans or under other contracts, arrangements,
commitments, or understandings described in the Company
Disclosure Letter.
(d) Unless mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, the
Company shall terminate the Company ESPP in accordance with
Section 3.06.
(e) Nothing in this Section 6.05 shall be interpreted
as preventing Parent from amending, modifying or terminating any
of the Company Benefit Plans, or other contracts, arrangements,
commitments or understandings, in accordance with their terms
and applicable Law.
Section 6.06. Registration
Statement; Offer Documents; Information Statement; Listing of
Shares.
(a) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective
under the Securities Act by the SEC as promptly as practicable
after the date hereof and to keep the Registration Statement
effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Offer and
the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and
Parent shall take all commercially reasonable actions required
to be taken under any applicable state blue sky or securities
Laws in connection with the Share Issuance. The Company shall
promptly furnish all information concerning it and the holders
of its capital stock as Parent may reasonably request in
connection with such actions. Subject to
Section 1.02(b)(ii), the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to have the Information Statement
cleared by the SEC, filed in definitive form and disseminated to
the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable after
the consummation of the Offer.
(b) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by
the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in
(a) the Registration Statement, (b) the Offer
Documents, (c) the Information Statement, (d) the
Schedule 14D-9 or (e) any other documents to be filed
with the SEC in connection with the
A-48

previously paid pursuant to clause (iii) below, at the
earlier of the date the Company enters into a definitive
agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction and
the date of consummation of such the Company Acquisition
Transaction. Solely for the purposes of this
Section 6.09(b)(i), the term Company Acquisition
Transaction shall have the meaning assigned to such term

Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days following
termination by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account
specified in writing by Parent. |
|
|
(iii) If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.01(c), then the Company shall pay Parent
$10,000,000 within two (2) Business Days following
termination by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account

Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c). |
|
|
(ii) If the Company has been required to pay Medicis the
$90,000,000 termination fee under the Medicis Agreement, and
(A) if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.01(d) and the Offer is not consummated or
(B) the Offer is not consummated on or prior to the

Parent shall pay the Company $90,000,000 (the Parent

(2) Business Days following the date of termination by wire
transfer of same-day funds to an account specified in writing by

(d) The parties agree that (i) actual damages to the
Company in the event that the Offer is not consummated are
difficult to ascertain, (ii) the Parent Termination Fee and

represent a reasonable estimate of such damages if the Offer is
not consummated as a result of a Parent Fee Triggering Event or
if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.01(d), as the case may be, and (iii) the
Parent Termination Fee and any amounts payable pursuant to
Section 6.09(c)(i) is the appropriate aggregate amount of
liquidated damages in such events and not a penalty. Payment of
any applicable fees by Parent pursuant to Section 6.09(c)
shall be the Companys sole remedy in the event of any
Parent Fee Triggering Event or any termination pursuant to
Section 8.01(d), as the case may be; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall be entitled to file suit or otherwise seek to recover
money damages from Parent or Merger Sub for any breach of this
Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, in which event the first
sentence of this Section 6.09(d) shall not apply and the
Company automatically shall be deemed to have unconditionally
and irrevocably waived and disclaimed (A) any right to seek
specific performance of any terms hereof pursuant to
Section 9.10 hereof or otherwise and (B) any right to
collect or direct the payment of any amounts that otherwise
would be payable pursuant to Sections 6.09(c)(i) or
(ii) in the absence of this proviso and such unconditional
and irrevocable waiver.
(e) Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that the
agreements contained in Sections 6.09(b) and 6.09(c) are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party
would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either
party (the Defaulting Party) fails
promptly to pay the termination fee, and, in order to obtain
such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a
judgment against the Defaulting Party for the termination fee,
the Defaulting Party shall pay to the other party interest on
the termination fee from and including the date payment of the
termination fee was originally due to but excluding the date of
actual payment at the prime
A-51
rate of Wells Fargo, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was
originally required to be made. If applicable, the termination
fee shall not be payable by a party more than once pursuant to
this Section 6.09.
Section 6.10. Agreement
to Cooperate.
(a) The Company and Parent shall each use their reasonable

governmental request thereunder, and (C) any other
applicable Law. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each
other in connection with the making of all such filings,
including providing copies of all such documents to the
non-filing party and its advisors prior to filing and, if
requested, to accept all reasonable additions, deletions or
changes suggested in connection therewith. Subject to
Section 6.04, Parent and the Company shall use their
reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information
required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant
to the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) (i) The Company and Parent agree, and shall cause
each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use
their reasonable best efforts to obtain any clearances or
approvals of any Governmental Entities required for the
consummation of the Offer or the Closing under the HSR Act, the
Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the
Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal,

or the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement under any Antitrust Law. Parent shall have the right
to determine and direct the strategy and process by which the
parties will seek required approvals under Antitrust Laws;
provided, that Parent will consult with and consider in
good faith the views of the Company in connection with any
analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs,
arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on
behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under
or relating to any Antitrust Law.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 6.10, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries
nor the Company shall be required to (A) license, divest,
dispose of or hold separate any material assets or businesses of
Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or
otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits in any
material respect its freedom of action with respect to, or its
ability to retain, any of the material assets or businesses of
Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries,
or that would have a material adverse effect on the combined
company, (B) agree to or effect any license, divestiture,
disposition or hold separate any business or take any other
action or agree to any limitation that is not conditioned on the
consummation of the Offer or the Merger or (C) pay more

such consents, approvals or authorizations as are required to
complete the Offer, the Merger or the Second Merger under
applicable Antitrust Laws (excluding any mandatory filing fees
and reasonable and customary costs and expenses associated with
making applications for, and responding to requests for
information from Governmental Entities with respect to, such
required consents, approvals or authorizations). The Company
(x) shall not take or agree to take any action identified
in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately
preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Parent
and (y) if so requested by Parent, shall use reasonable
best efforts to effect any license, divestiture,
A-52
disposition or hold separate of any of the Companys assets
or businesses necessary to obtain clearances or approvals
required for the Closing under the Antitrust Laws,
provided that such action is conditioned on the
consummation of the Offer. For purposes of this
Section 6.10(b) and Annex A, the material assets
or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their
respective Subsidiaries shall include any product that
currently has, or during its peak sales periods, as forecasted
in good faith by Parent, in the future is expected to have,

the preceding subparagraph (ii), to facilitate the
consummation of the Offer and the Merger, and to the extent
required to obtain any consents, approvals or authorizations
required to complete the Offer, the Merger or the Second Merger
under applicable Antitrust Laws (x) Parent, Merger Sub and
the Company agree to promptly license, divest, dispose of or
hold separate (A) the Reloxin Assets, including the
Companys distribution rights and all related rights to the
Reloxin/ Dysport products in all markets and (B) such other
assets and businesses as do not constitute material assets or
businesses of Parent or the Company or their respective
Subsidiaries, and (y) the Company agrees to take all
reasonable actions requested by Parent or Merger Sub in
furtherance of such proposed actions, provided that such the
effectiveness of any such actions set forth in
clause (x) may be conditioned on consummation of the
Offer.
(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall give (or shall
cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to
third Persons, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries
to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third Person
consents related to or required in connection with the Offer or
the Merger that are (i) necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) disclosed or
required to be disclosed in the Parent Disclosure Letter or the
Company Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, or
(iii) required to prevent a Parent Material Adverse Effect
or a Company Material Adverse Effect from occurring prior to or
after the Effective Time. If any party shall fail to obtain any
consent from a third Person described in this
subsection (c), such party will use its reasonable efforts,
and will take any such actions reasonably requested by the other
party hereto, to limit the adverse affect upon the Company and
Parent, their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective
businesses resulting, or that could reasonably be expected to
result after the consummation of the Offer or the Effective
Time, from the failure to obtain such consent.
(d) Parent and the Company shall promptly (and, in any
event, within two (2) Business Days) advise the other orally and
in writing of any state of facts, event, change, effect,
development, condition or occurrence that, individually or in
the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a
Parent Material Adverse Effect or a Company Material Adverse
Effect, respectively. The Company shall give prompt notice to
Parent, and Parent or Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to the
Company, of (i) any representation or warranty made by it
contained in this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality
becoming untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any such
representation or warranty that is not so qualified becoming
untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) the
failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect
any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such notification shall affect the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the
parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement.
Section 6.11. Directors
and Officers Indemnification.
(a) Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor all of the
Companys and its Subsidiaries obligations to
indemnify the current or former directors or officers of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any person who becomes
an officer or director of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, for acts or omissions by such directors and
officers occurring prior to the Effective Time, whether pursuant
to the Companys or any Subsidiarys Certificate of
Incorporation, bylaws, individual indemnity agreements or
otherwise, and such obligations shall survive the Merger and the
Second Merger. For a period of six (6) years following the
Effective Time, the certificates of incorporation and bylaws of
the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries shall
contain, and Parent shall cause the Certificates of
Incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and each
of its Subsidiaries to contain, provisions no
A-53
less favorable with respect to indemnification and exculpation
of such directors and officers than are presently set forth in
the Companys and its Subsidiarys Certificate of
Incorporation and bylaws.
(b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time,
Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current
policies of directors and officers liability
insurance maintained by the Company; provided that Parent
may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially
sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts
containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous
with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or
events which occurred at or before the Effective Time;
provided, however, that Parent shall not be
obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to
the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the annual premiums paid
as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such
200% amount, the Maximum Premium);
provided, further, if such insurance coverage
cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual
premium in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent shall maintain
the most advantageous policies of directors and
officers insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal
to the Maximum Premium; provided, further, if
Parent in its sole discretion elects, by giving written notice
to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
Effective Time, then, in lieu of the foregoing insurance,
effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a
directors and officers liability insurance
tail or runoff insurance program for a
period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to
wrongful acts and/or omissions committed or allegedly committed
at or prior to the Effective Time (such coverage shall have an
aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an
amount at least equal to the annual aggregate coverage limit
under the Companys existing directors and officers
liability policy, and in all other respects shall be with
reputable and financially sound carriers and no less
advantageous on the whole to such existing coverage). Parent and
the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such tail
policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their
respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other
obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the
first sentence of this Section 6.11(b) for so long as such
tail policy shall be maintained in full force and
effect. The Company represents to Parent that the Maximum
Premium is as set forth in Section 6.11(b) of the Company
Disclosure Letter.
(c) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation
or any of their respective successors or assigns
(i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and
is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such
consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or
substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then,
and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provisions to
be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the
Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the
obligations set forth in this Section 6.11. The obligations
of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this
Section 6.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a
manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this
Section 6.11 applies without the express written consent of
such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the
indemnitees to whom this Section 6.11 applies shall be
third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11).
Section 6.12. Rule 145.
The Company shall, promptly after the date hereof, deliver to
Parent a list setting forth the names of all Persons the Company
expects to be, at the time of the Companys
Stockholders Meeting, affiliates of the
Company for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
The Company shall furnish such information and documents as
Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the
list and shall supplement such list to reflect any Person that
later becomes an affiliate of the Company for
purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. The Company
shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Person who is
identified as an affiliate in the list furnished or supplemented
pursuant to this Section 6.12 to execute and deliver to
Parent a written agreement, at or prior to the Effective Time,
in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
Section 6.13. Tax
Free Reorganization.
(a) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause the Merger, taken together with the
Offer and the Second Merger, to qualify as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the
Company, or their respective Subsidiaries shall take, or agree
to take, any action (including any action otherwise permitted by
Section 6.01 in the case of the Company or
Section 6.02 in the case of Parent) that could prevent or
impede the Merger, taken together with
A-54
the Offer and the Second Merger, from qualifying as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code.
(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a
determination within the meaning of
Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Parent, Merger Sub and
the Company shall report the Merger, taken together with the
Offer and the Second Merger, as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(c) The parties hereto shall cooperate and use their
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parents and
the Companys tax counsel and tax advisors a certificate
containing representations reasonably requested by such counsel
and/or advisors in connection with the rendering of any tax
opinions to be issued by such counsel and/or advisors with
respect to the treatment of the Offer, the Merger and the Second
Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. Parents and
Companys tax counsel and tax advisors shall be entitled to
rely upon such representations in rendering any such opinions.

(a) In the event a stockholder litigation related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby is brought, or
threatened, against the Company and/or the members of the

litigation brought, or threatened, against the Company and/or
the members of the Company Board and shall provide Parent with
updates and such information as Parent shall reasonably request
with respect to the status of the litigation and discussions
between the parties thereto (unless the provision of such
updates and information could reasonably be expected to result
in a loss of attorney-client privilege). The Company shall give
Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of and
settlement discussions with respect to such litigation and shall
not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective
Time with respect to any such litigation unless Parent shall
have consented in writing to such payment or settlement, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) In the event a stockholder litigation related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby is brought, or
threatened, against Parent and/or the members of the Parent
Board, Parent shall have the right to control the defense of

request with respect to the status of the litigation and
discussions between the parties thereto (unless the provision of
such updates and information could reasonably be expected to
result in a loss of attorney-client privilege). Parent shall
give the Company the opportunity to participate in the defense
of and settlement discussions with respect to such litigation

of Other Partys Business. Notwithstanding
Parents rights under Section 1.03 hereof, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall give any party, directly or
indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of any
other party prior to the consummation of the Offer. Prior to the
consummation of the Offer each party shall exercise, consistent
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete
control and supervision over its operations.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will not
(i) redeem the Company Rights, or (ii) amend the
Company Rights Agreement prior to the termination of this

do so by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or unless
such amendment is primarily for purposes of substituting a new
rights agent thereunder and making appropriate conforming
amendments. The Company Board shall not make a determination
that Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective
Affiliates or Associates (as such terms

(a) If required by the DGCL, this Agreement shall have been
adopted by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with
the DGCL;

Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect
which has the effect of making the Merger or the Second Merger

until March 30, 2006, if all other conditions to

consummated by such date is that the Antitrust Conditions set
forth in paragraph (c) of Annex A have not
been satisfied and Parent or the Company are still attempting to
obtain such necessary consents and approvals under Antitrust
Laws or are contesting the refusal of the relevant Governmental
Entity to give such consents or approvals or the entry of any

order, decree or ruling or taken any other final action
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation
of the Offer or the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall not be available
to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has
been the cause of or resulted in such order, decree, ruling or
other action. |

contained in this Agreement which would result in a failure of a
condition to the Offer set forth in Annex A that is
not waived by Merger Sub; provided, that Parent shall
have given the Company prior written notice of Parents
intent to terminate this Agreement and the Company shall not
have cured the applicable breach within ten (10) Business Days
or, if sooner, by one (1) Business Day prior to the Termination
Date.
(d) by the Company, (i) if Parent fails to consummate
the Offer in breach hereof, or (ii) if there has been a

and warranties contained in this Agreement (without giving

Parent Material Adverse Effect set forth
A-57
therein) at and as of the date of determination as if made at
and as of such time (except to the extent expressly made as of
an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except
where the failure of such representations and warranties to be
true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to
materiality or Parent Material Adverse
Effect set forth therein) would not, individually or in
the aggregate, result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect, or
(y) its covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement in any material respect; provided, that the
Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of the
Companys intent to terminate this Agreement and Parent
shall not have cured the applicable breach within ten (10)
Business Days or, if sooner, by one (1) Business Day prior to
the Termination Date.

recommends that the Companys stockholders tender their
shares in such tender or exchange offer or the Company Board
fails to recommend that the Companys stockholders reject
such tender or exchange offer within seven (7) Business Days
after receipt of Parents request to do so; it being
understood that neither disclosure of any competing proposal
that is not being recommended by the Company Board nor
disclosure of any facts or circumstances, together with a
statement that the Company Board continues to recommend approval
of this Agreement and the Merger, shall be considered to be a
Company Change of Recommendation.
(f) by the Company, prior to consummation of the Offer,
upon or following a Company Change in Recommendation or
otherwise in order to enter into a definitive agreement with
respect to or otherwise to accept a Company Superior Proposal,
in either case as permitted by Section 6.03(e) and subject
to the timely payment in full of any fees payable by the Company
pursuant to Section 6.09.

parties.

Agreement by either Parent or the Company prior to the Effective
Time pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no
Liability or further obligation on the part of Parent, the
Company or Merger Sub or their respective officers or directors
(except as set forth in Sections 6.04(c), 6.09 and

and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other
subdivision, and (ii) reference to any Article or Section
means such Article or Section hereof. No provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against any party

including are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed to be followed by the words without
limitation.
Section 9.05. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred
to herein) shall not be assigned by operation of law or
otherwise. The parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, this being in
addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law
or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto
(a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit
itself to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State

personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from
any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any
action relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court

to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action on the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and (e) each of
the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first
class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
to the address at which such party is to receive notice. THIS

or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

Extensions.
(a) This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by

stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such
stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.
(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties
hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards
of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed,
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto,

Section 1.01(b)); provided that after the Company
Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be made no
waiver that by law requires further approval by stockholders of
the Company without the further approval of such stockholders.
Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such
extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a
written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure
or delay of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its
rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a
waiver of those rights.
Section 9.08. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement (including the Company
Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Exhibits
and the Annexes hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement
constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements,

damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not to be performed in accordance with the terms
hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific

of collecting or directing the payment of any amounts that
otherwise would be payable to the Company pursuant to

Allergan, Inc.
2525 Dupont Drive
Irvine, California 92612
Re: Registration Statement on
Form S-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Allergan, Inc.
(Allergan), a Delaware corporation, in
connection with the acquisition of Inamed Corporation
(Inamed), a Delaware corporation,
pursuant to the transactions described in a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2005, as
amended on December 9, 2005 (theRegistration
Statement). Unless otherwise indicated,
capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration
Statement, (a) Banner Acquisition, Inc.
(Offeror), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Allergan is offering to exchange for each share of Inamed common
stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer,
at the election of the holder of such shares, either cash or
shares of Allergan common stock, (b) promptly after
completion of the Offer, Allergan will consummate a merger of
Offeror with and into Inamed, with Inamed surviving the merger
(the Inamed Merger) and, pursuant to the
Inamed Merger, Allergan will issue in exchange for each share of
Inamed common stock, at the election of the holder of shares of
Inamed common stock, either cash or shares of Allergan common
stock, and (c) promptly after the Inamed Merger, Allergan
will cause Inamed to merge with and into a wholly owned limited
liability company of Allergan, with the limited liability
company surviving the Merger (the Post-Closing
Merger).
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement to
be filed on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the registration of the shares of
Allergan common stock to be issued to the stockholders of Inamed
upon consummation of the proposed transaction.
You have requested that we render the opinion set forth below.
In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed (without any
independent investigation) the Registration Statement and such
other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. We
have relied upon the truth and accuracy at all relevant times of
the facts and statements contained in the Registration Statement
and representations as to factual matters contained in the
representation letter received from Allergan, and have assumed
that the proposed transaction will be consummated in accordance
with the terms set forth therein and without any waiver of any
material provision thereof. We have further assumed the accuracy
of any representation or statement made to the knowledge
of or similarly qualified without such qualification.
C-1
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions,
exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein and
set forth in the discussion in the Registration Statement under
the caption Material United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences, it is our opinion that:
|
|
|
(a) the Offer, Inamed Merger, and the Post-Closing Merger
will be treated as a single integrated transaction that
qualifies as a reorganization under section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the Code). |
|
|
(b) the discussion in the Registration Statement, under the
caption Material U.S. States Federal Income Tax
Consequences, to the extent it constitutes descriptions of
legal matters or legal conclusions, is accurate in all material
respects. |
This opinion represents our best judgment regarding the
application of federal income tax laws under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing judicial decisions,
administrative regulations and published rulings and procedures.
Our opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or
the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue
Service will not successfully assert a contrary position. This
opinion is being delivered prior to the consummation of the
proposed transaction and therefore is prospective and dependent
on future events. No assurance can be given that future
legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a
prospective or retroactive basis, or future factual
developments, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the
conclusion stated herein. We undertake no responsibility to
advise you of any new developments in the facts or in the
application or interpretation of the federal income tax laws.
Furthermore, in the event any one of the facts or statements or
assumptions upon which we have relied to issue this opinion is
incorrect, our opinion might be adversely affected and may not
be relied upon.
This opinion addresses only the matters described above, and
does not address any other federal, state, local or foreign tax
consequences that may result from the Offer, Inamed Merger, and
the Post-Closing Merger, or any other transaction (including any
transaction undertaken in connection with the foregoing). This
opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the
Registration Statement and may be relied upon by persons
entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of
federal securities law.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the
caption Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences in the Registration Statement. In giving such
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended, nor do we thereby admit that
we are experts with respect to any part of such Registration
Statement within the meaning of the term experts as
used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Very truly yours, |
|

ANNEX D
SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
(a) Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this chapter, a corporation shall not engage in
any business combination with any interested stockholder for a
period of 3 years following the time that such stockholder
became an interested stockholder, unless:
|
|
|
(1) prior to such time the board of
directors of the corporation approved either the business
combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, or |
|
|
(2) upon consummation of the
transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at
the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of
determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned
(i) by persons who are directors and also officers and
(ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do
not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares
held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or
exchange offer, or |
|
|
(3) At or subsequent to such time
the business combination is approved by the board of directors
and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders,
and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least
662/3%
of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
interested stockholder. |
(b) The restrictions contained in
this section shall not apply if:
|
|
|
(1) the corporations original
certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly
electing not to be governed by this section; |
|
|
(2) the corporation, by action of
its board of directors, adopts an amendment to its bylaws within
90 days of the effective date of this section, expressly
electing not to be governed by this section, which amendment
shall not be further amended by the board of directors. |
|
|
(3) the corporation, by action of
its stockholders, adopts an amendment to its certificate of
incorporation or bylaws expressly electing not to be governed by
this section, provided that, in addition to any other vote
required by law, such amendment to the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws must be approved by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. An amendment
adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective
immediately in the case of a corporation that both (i) has
never had a class of voting stock that falls within any of the
three categories set out in subsection (b)(4) hereof, and
(ii) has not elected by a provision in its original
certificate of incorporation or any amendment thereto to be
governed by this section. In all other cases, an amendment
adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall not be effective until
12 months after the adoption of such amendment and shall
not apply to any business combination between such corporation
and any person who became an interested stockholder of such
corporation on or prior to such adoption. A bylaw amendment
adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall not be further amended
by the board of directors; |
|
|
(4) the corporation does not have a
class of voting stock that is (i) listed on a national
securities exchange, (ii) authorized for quotation on The
NASDAQ Stock Market or (iii) held of record by more than
2,000 stockholders, unless any of the foregoing results from
action taken, directly or indirectly, by an interested
stockholder or from a transaction in which a person becomes an
interested stockholder; |
|
|
(5) a stockholder becomes an
interested stockholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as
practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient shares so
that the stockholder ceases to be an interested stockholder and
(ii) would not, at any time within the 3 year period
immediately prior to a business combination between the
corporation and such stockholder, have been an interested
stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership; |
|
|
(6) the business combination is
proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of and
subsequent to the earlier of the public announcement or the
notice required hereunder of a proposed transaction which
(i) constitutes one of the transactions described in the
second sentence of this |
D-1
|
|
|
paragraph; (ii) is with or by a person who either was not
an interested stockholder during the previous 3 years or
who became an interested stockholder with the approval of the
corporations board of directors or during the period
described in paragraph (7) of this
subsection (b); and (iii) is approved or not opposed
by a majority of the members of the board of directors then in
office (but not less than 1) who were directors prior to
any person becoming an interested stockholder during the
previous 3 years or were recommended for election or
elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such
directors. The proposed transactions referred to in the
preceding sentence are limited to (x) a merger or
consolidation of the corporation (except for a merger in respect
of which, pursuant to section 251 (f) of the chapter,

50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
The corporation shall give not less then 20 days notice to
all interested stockholders prior to the consummation of any of
the transactions described in clauses (x) or
(y) of the second sentence of this paragraph; or |
|
|
(7) The business combination is
with an interested stockholder who became an interested
stockholder at a time when the restrictions contained in this
section did not apply by reason of any
paragraphs (1) through (4) of this
subsection (b), provided, however, that this
paragraph (7) shall not apply if, at the time such
interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, the
corporations certificate of incorporation contained a
provision authorized by the last sentence of this
subsection (b). Notwithstanding paragraphs (1), (2),
(3) and (4) of this subsection, a corporation may
elect by a provision of its original certificate of
incorporation or any amendment thereto to be governed by this
section; provided that any such amendment to the certificate of
