PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
OFFER TO EXCHANGE
$800,000,000 principal amount of our
5.75% Senior Notes due 2016,
which have been registered under the Securities Act,
for any and all of our outstanding unregistered
5.75% Senior Notes due 2016
We are offering to exchange up to $800,000,000 of our
5.75% Senior Notes due 2016, or the exchange
notes, for our currently outstanding 5.75% Senior
Notes due 2016, or the private notes. We refer to
the private notes and the exchange notes collectively as the
notes. The exchange notes are substantially
identical to the private notes, except that the exchange notes
have been registered under the federal securities laws and will
not bear any legend restricting their transfer. The exchange
notes will represent the same debt as the private notes, and we
will issue the exchange notes under the same indenture. The
notes will mature on April 1, 2016. Interest on the notes
will be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year,
commencing on October 1, 2006.
We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time and from time
to time at the redemption prices described under
Description of Exchange NotesRedemption at the
Option of Allergan. The notes will be Allergans
unsecured senior obligations and not the obligations of its
subsidiaries. The notes rank junior in right of payment to the
rights of our secured creditors to the extent of their security
in our assets; equal in right of payment to the rights of
creditors under our other existing and future unsecured
unsubordinated obligations, including our revolving credit
facilities, our medium term notes and the other debt we incurred
concurrently with the settlement of the notes, as described in
this prospectus; senior in right of payment to the rights of
creditors under obligations expressly subordinated to the notes;
and effectively subordinated to secured and unsecured creditors
of our subsidiaries.

|
|
|
|

2006, unless extended.
|
|
|
|
We will exchange all outstanding
5.75% Senior Notes due 2016, or the private notes, that are
validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal
principal amount of a new series of notes which are registered
under the Securities Act, or the exchange notes.
|
|
|

April 1, 2016. Interest on the exchange notes will accrue
at 5.75% per year. Interest will be payable semi-annually
on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on

|
You may withdraw tenders of
private notes at any time before the exchange offer expires.
|
|
|
|
The exchange notes will not be
listed on any securities exchange. A public market for the

higher or lower than the initial prices of the unregistered
notes.

supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer
in connection with resales of exchange notes received in
exchange for private notes where the exchange notes were
acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that,

Description of Inamed Acquisition
On March 23, 2006, we completed our previously announced
acquisition of Inamed Corporation, a global healthcare company
that develops, manufactures, and markets a diverse line of
products to enhance the quality of peoples lives,
including breast implants for aesthetic augmentation and
reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy, a range of dermal
products to correct facial wrinkles, the
BioEnterics®
LAP-BAND®
System designed to treat severe and morbid obesity, and the
BioEnterics®Intragastric
Balloon
(BIB®)
system for the treatment of obesity.
The acquisition was completed pursuant to an agreement and plan
of merger, dated as of December 20, 2005, by and among us,
our wholly-owned subsidiary Banner Acquisition, Inc., and Inamed
and an exchange offer made by Banner Acquisition to acquire
Inamed shares for either $84.00 in cash or 0.8498 of a share of
our common stock (together with the associated preferred stock
purchase rights), at the election of the holder, subject to
proration so that 45% of the aggregate Inamed shares tendered
were exchanged for cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed shares
tendered were exchanged for shares of our common stock. In the
exchange offer we paid approximately $1.31 billion in cash
and issued 16,194,051 shares of our common stock through
Banner Acquisition, acquiring approximately 93.86% of
Inameds outstanding common stock. Following the exchange
offer, we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Inamed
common stock for approximately $81.7 million in cash and
1,010,576 shares of our common stock through the merger of
Banner Acquisition with and into Inamed in a second step merger
in which Inamed survived as our wholly-owned subsidiary. The
consideration paid in the merger does not include shares of our
common stock and cash that was paid to optionholders for
outstanding options to purchase approximately 1.0 million
shares of Inamed common stock, which were cancelled in the
merger and converted into 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 our common stock with a value equal to
55% of the in the money value of the option. The
aggregate amount of cash paid and shares of Allergan common
stock issued in connection with the settlement of outstanding
Inamed options was $17.9 million and 237,066 shares,
respectively. The cash portion of the aggregate purchase price
for the exchange offer and merger was financed with cash drawn
from our working capital and by drawing $825 million on a
364-day bridge term
facility (the Bridge Facility).
1
The Financing Transactions
The offering of the private notes formed part of a larger
financing plan for the acquisition of Inamed and the other uses
of funds described below. Concurrently with the offering of the
private notes, we offered $750 million aggregate principal
amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the
Convertible Notes), including $50 million
aggregate principal amount sold to initial purchasers to cover
over-allotments. In addition, on March 31, 2006 we amended
our long-term credit facility to increase available borrowings
from $400 million to $800 million. The offering of the
private notes and the offering of the Convertible Notes were
consummated concurrently. We refer to the offerings of the
private notes and the Convertible Notes and the amendment of our
long-term credit facility in this prospectus as the
Financing Transactions.
In May 2006, we redeemed our zero coupon convertible senior
notes due 2022 (the 2022 Notes). Most holders
elected to exercise the conversion features of the 2022 Notes
prior to redemption. Upon their conversion, we were required to
pay the accreted value of the 2022 Notes (approximately
$411.2 million) in cash and had the option to pay the
remainder of the conversion value in cash or shares of our
common stock. We exercised our option to pay the remainder of
the conversion value in approximately 1.6 million shares of
our common stock. In addition, holders of approximately
$20.3 million of aggregate principal at maturity of the
2022 Notes did not exercise the conversion feature, and we paid
the accreted value (approximately $16.6 million) in cash to
redeem these 2022 Notes. Following the conclusion of the
Financing Transactions, we used approximately
$307.8 million, the approximate amount of the difference
between the amount of cash we used for the conversion and the
redemption of the 2022 Notes and the net proceeds of the
Convertible Notes, to repurchase shares of our common stock
under our common stock repurchase program, including through one
or more block trades with one or more of the initial purchasers
of the private notes and/or their affiliates.

|
|
Liquidated Damages |
|
We issued the private notes on April 12, 2006, to the
initial purchasers pursuant to a purchase agreement. At the same
time, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the
initial purchasers requiring us to make the exchange offer. The
registration rights agreement also required us to: |
|
|
|
cause the registration statement filed with respect
to the exchange offer to be declared effective by
October 9, 2006; and |
|
|
|
complete the exchange offer by November 8, 2006. |
|
|
|
If we do not comply with certain of our obligations under the
registration rights agreement, we have agreed to pay liquidated
damages. See The Exchange OfferLiquidated
Damages. |
|
Use of Proceeds |
|
The exchange offer satisfies an obligation under the
registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash
proceeds from the exchange offer. |
|
Exchange Agent |
|
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee under the
indenture governing the private notes, is serving as the
exchange agent. |
|
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Notes |
|
If you do not exchange your private notes for exchange notes,
you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer
provided in the private notes and in the indenture governing the
private notes. In general, the private notes may not be offered
or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We
do not currently plan to register the private notes under the
Securities Act. |
|
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations |
|
The exchange of private notes for exchange notes in the exchange
offer will not be a taxable event to holders for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. See Certain United
States Federal Income Tax Considerations. |
|
Registration Rights Agreement |
|

notes with substantially identical terms pursuant to the
registration rights agreement. The exchange offer satisfies our
obligation to provide the exchange notes in accordance with the
registration rights agreement. After the exchange offer is
completed, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or
registration rights with respect to your private notes. Under
the circumstances described in the registration rights
agreement, you may require us to file a shelf registration

account in exchange for private notes, where such private notes
were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making

exchange notes. See Plan of Distribution. |
We explain the exchange offer in greater detail beginning on
page 14.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the following risk factors and the
risk factors identified in our most recent annual report on
Form 10-K and any
subsequent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
incorporated herein by reference, as well as all other
information contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus before making a decision to invest in the exchange
notes. The occurrence of any one or more of the following could
materially adversely affect your investment in the notes or our
business and operating results.
|
|
|
The notes are structurally subordinated to all of the
indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. This may
affect your ability to receive payments on the notes. |
The notes are exclusively the obligations of Allergan and not
its subsidiaries. We currently conduct almost all of our
operations through our subsidiaries and our subsidiaries have
significant liabilities. In addition, we may, and in some cases
we have plans to, conduct additional operations through our
subsidiaries in the future and, accordingly, our
subsidiaries liabilities will increase. Our cash flow and
our ability to service our debt, including the notes, therefore
depends significantly upon the earnings of our subsidiaries, and
we depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other
payments by those subsidiaries to us. As of March 31, 2006,
our subsidiaries had total liabilities of $577.4 million.
Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Our
subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the
notes or, subject to existing or future contractual obligations
between us and our subsidiaries, to provide us with funds for
our payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions,
loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends,
distributions, loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could
be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and taxes on
distributions. Payments to us by our subsidiaries will also be
contingent upon our subsidiaries earnings and business
considerations.
Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon
liquidation or reorganization, and, as a result, the right of
the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be
effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiarys
creditors, including trade creditors and preferred stockholders,
if any. The notes do not restrict the ability of our
subsidiaries to incur additional liabilities. In addition, even
if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as
a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the
assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our
subsidiaries senior to indebtedness held by us.
|
|
|
We have a significant amount of debt. Our substantial
indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our
payment obligations under the notes and our other debt. |
We have a significant amount of debt and substantial debt
service requirements. As of March 31, 2006, we had
approximately $1.8 billion of outstanding debt, giving pro
forma effect to the Financing Transactions and the application
of the proceeds, including the issuance of the private notes,
the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the redemption of our
2022 Notes and the repayment of the Bridge Facility. Giving
effect to the Financing Transactions, the redemption of our 2022
Notes and the issuance of the Convertible Notes, as of
March 31, 2006, we have the ability to borrow an additional
approximately $673 million under our long-term credit
facility.
This level of debt could have significant consequences on our
future operations, including:
|
|
|
|
|
making it more difficult for us to meet our payment and other
obligations under the notes and our other outstanding debt; |
|
|
|
resulting in an event of default if we fail to comply with the
financial and other restrictive covenants contained in our debt
agreements, which event of default could result in all of our
debt becoming immediately due and payable; |
|
|
|
reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general
corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain
additional financing for these purposes; |
7
|
|
|
|
|
subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest
rate increases on our indebtedness with variable interest rates,
including borrowings under our senior credit facility; |
|
|
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and
increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the
industry in which we operate and the general economy; |
|
|
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
industry conditions; and |
|
|
|
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged. |
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise
obtain funds necessary to make required payments, or if we fail
to comply with the various requirements of the notes, our
existing indebtedness, debt we incur in connection with the
Financing Transactions or any indebtedness that we may incur in
the future, we would be in default, which could permit the
holders of the notes and the holders of such other indebtedness
to accelerate the maturity of the notes or such other
indebtedness, as the case may be, and could cause defaults under
the notes and such other indebtedness. Any default under the
notes or any indebtedness that we may incur in the future, as
well as any of the above-listed factors, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results, liquidity and
financial condition and our ability to meet our payment
obligations under the notes and our other debt.
|
|
|
We and our subsidiaries may incur substantially more debt,
which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our
substantial indebtedness. |
We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional debt in
the future. Although certain of our debt agreements contain
restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these
restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and
exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with
these restrictions could be substantial. Also, these
restrictions do not prevent us from incurring obligations that
do not constitute indebtedness as defined in the
relevant agreement. If new debt is added to our current debt
levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.
|
|
|
The notes will not be secured by any of our assets and our
secured debt will have claims with respect to the secured assets
superior to the notes. |
The notes will not be secured by any of our assets.
Future indebtedness that we incur may be secured by our assets.
If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment of any
secured indebtedness is accelerated, the holders of the secured
indebtedness will be entitled to exercise the remedies available
to secured lenders under applicable law, including the ability
to foreclose on and sell the assets securing such indebtedness
in order to satisfy such indebtedness. In any such case, any
remaining assets may be insufficient to repay the notes.
|
|
|
A significant amount of our debt agreements contain
covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our
business. |
The agreements governing our existing debt contain covenant
restrictions that limit our ability to operate our business,
including covenant restrictions that may prevent us from:
|
|
|
|
|
incurring additional debt or issue guarantees; |
|
|
|
creating liens; |
|
|
|
entering into certain transactions with our affiliates; and |
|
|
|
consolidating, merging or transferring all or substantially all
of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. |
Some of our existing debt agreements require us to maintain
specific leverage and interest coverage ratios. Our ability to
comply with these covenants is dependent on our future
performance, which will be subject to many factors, some of
which are beyond our control, including prevailing economic
conditions. Our failure to comply with these obligations would
prevent us from borrowing additional money and could result in
our default. If a default occurs under any of our senior
indebtedness, the relevant lenders could elect to declare such
indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to
be immediately due and payable
8
and proceed against substantially all of our assets. Moreover,
if the lenders under a facility or other agreement in default
were to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding under that
facility, it could result in a default under other indebtedness.
If all or any part of our indebtedness were to be accelerated,
we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to repay
it. In addition, we may incur other indebtedness in the future
that may contain financial or other covenants that are more
restrictive than those contained in the indenture governing the
notes.
As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to
changes in business and economic conditions and to obtain
additional financing, if needed, may be significantly
restricted, and we may be prevented from engaging in
transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us. In
addition, our failure to comply with these covenants could
result in a default under the notes and our other debt, which
could permit the holders to accelerate such debt. If any of our
debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available
to repay such debt.
|
|
|
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant
amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash flow depends on
many factors beyond our control. |
Our ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our
debt depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in
the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory
factors, as well as other factors that are beyond our control.
We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow
from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to
us under our senior credit facility or otherwise, in an amount
sufficient to enable us to meet our payment obligations under
the notes and our other debt and to fund other liquidity needs.
|
|
|
An active trading market for the exchange notes may not
develop. |
There is currently no public market for the notes, and an active
trading market may never develop. If the notes are traded, they
may trade at a discount from their offering price, depending on
prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities,
our ability to affect the exchange offer, our performance and
other factors. To the extent that an active trading market does
not develop, the liquidity and trading prices for the exchange
notes may be harmed.
We have no plans to list the exchange notes on a securities
exchange.
Any market-making activity, if initiated, may be discontinued at
any time, for any reason or for no reason, without notice.
The liquidity of any market for the exchange notes will depend
upon the number of holders of the exchange notes, our results of
operations and financial condition, the market for similar
securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a
market in the exchange notes and other factors. An active or
liquid trading market for the exchange notes may not develop.
|
|
|
Any adverse rating of the notes may cause the value of the
notes to fall. |
One or more rating agencies may lower the ratings on the notes.
If the rating agencies reduce their ratings on the notes in the
future or indicate that they have their ratings on the notes
under surveillance or review with possible negative
implications, the value of the notes could decline. In addition,
a ratings downgrade could adversely affect our ability to access
capital.
|
|
|
If you do not properly tender your private notes, you will
continue to hold unregistered private notes and your ability to
transfer private notes will be adversely affected. |
We will only issue exchange notes in exchange for private notes
that are timely received by the exchange agent. Therefore, you
should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the
private notes and you should carefully follow the instructions
on how to tender your private notes. Neither we nor the exchange
agent is required to tell you of any defects or irregularities
with respect to your tender of the private notes. If you do not
tender your private notes or if we do not accept your private
notes because you did not tender your private notes properly,
then, after we consummate the exchange offer, you may continue
to hold private notes that are subject to the existing transfer
restrictions. In addition, if you tender your private notes for
the
9
purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange
notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of the exchange notes. If you are a
broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for your own account
in exchange for private notes that you acquired as a result of
market-making activities or any other trading activities, you
will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.
After the exchange offer is consummated, if you continue to hold
any private notes, you may have difficulty selling them because
there will be less private notes outstanding. In addition, if a
large amount of private notes are not tendered or are tendered
improperly, the limited amount of exchange notes that would be
issued and outstanding after we consummate the exchange offer
could lower the market price of such exchange notes.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth our historical ratio of earnings
to fixed charges for the last five years and the three month
period ended March 31, 2006, and the pro forma
Allergan-Inamed combined ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three month period
ended March 31, 2006, giving effect to our acquisition of
Inamed, the completion of the Financing Transactions, the
redemption of our 2022 Notes and the repayment of the Bridge
Facility, as if each of those transactions had been consummated
on January 1, 2005. For the purpose of these ratios,
earnings represents earnings before provision for
income taxes and minority interest and fixed charges, and
fixed charges consist of interest expense and a
share of rent expense which is deemed to be representative of an
interest factor.

In 2003, earnings were not sufficient to cover fixed charges by
$29.5 million. The determination of earnings in 2003
includes charges totaling $458.0 million related to
acquired in-process research and development assets associated
with our 2003 purchases of Oculex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and
Bardeen Sciences Company, LLC. |
|

in-process research and development assets associated with our
acquisition of Inamed. |
USE OF PROCEEDS
The exchange offer satisfies an obligation under the
registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash
proceeds from the exchange offer.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose of the Exchange Offer
We sold the private notes on April 12, 2006 to the initial
purchasers pursuant to a purchase agreement. The initial
purchasers subsequently sold the private notes to
qualified institutional buyers, as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on
Rule 144A and to certain persons outside the United States
in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act. As a
condition to the sale of the private notes, we entered into a
registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers on
April 12, 2006. Pursuant to the registration rights
agreement, we agreed that, unless the exchange offer is not
permitted by applicable law or Securities and Exchange
Commission policy, we would:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the exchange notes on or before
August 10, 2006; |
|
|
(2) |
use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or before October 9, 2006; |
|
|
(3) |
commence the exchange offer promptly after the effectiveness of
the registration statement; |
|
|
(4) |
keep the exchange offer open for not less than 20 business days
and not more than 30 business days (or longer if required by
applicable law) after notice of the exchange offer is mailed to
holders of the private notes; |
|
|
(5) |
complete the exchange offer by November 8, 2006; |
|
|
(6) |
use our reasonable best efforts to keep the registration
statement effective until the closing of the exchange
offer; and |
|
|
(7) |
file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the
private notes if we cannot effect an exchange offer within the
time periods listed above and under certain other circumstances. |
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will
offer the exchange notes in exchange for the private notes. We
filed a copy of the registration rights agreement as an exhibit
to our current report on
Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12,
2006, announcing the closing of the sale of the private notes.
Resale of the Exchange Notes
We are making the exchange offer in reliance on the position of
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth
in interpretive letters addressed to third parties in other
transactions. For further information on the Securities and
Exchange Commissions position, see Exxon Capital
Holdings Corporation, available May 13, 1988, Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated, available June 5,
1991 and Shearman & Sterling, available
July 2, 1993, and other interpretive letters to similar
effect. We have not sought our own interpretive letter, however,
and we cannot assure you that the staff would make a similar
determination with respect to the exchange offer as it has in
interpretive letters to third parties. Based on these
interpretations by the staff, we believe that the exchange notes
issued under the exchange offer may be offered for resale,
resold or otherwise transferred by you, without further
compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery
provisions of the Securities Act, so long as:
|
|
|
|
|
you are acquiring the exchange
notes in the ordinary course of your business;
|
|
|
|
you are not participating in,
and do not intend to participate in, a distribution of the
exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act and have
no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate
in a distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of
the Securities Act;
|
|
|
|
you are not a broker-dealer who
acquired the private notes directly from us;
|
|
|
|
if you are a broker-dealer, you
will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for
private notes that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities and that you are required
to deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
exchange notes;
|
14
|
|
|
|
|
you are not an
affiliate of ours, with the meaning of Rule 405
of the Securities Act, or if you are an affiliate, you will
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act to the extent
applicable; and
|
|
|
|
you are not acting on behalf of
any person or entity who could not truthfully make these
statements.
|
By tendering the private notes in exchange for exchange notes,
you will be required to represent to us that each of the above
statements applies to you. If you are participating in, or
intend to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes,
or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to
participate in a distribution of the exchange notes to be
acquired in this exchange offer, you may be deemed to have
received restricted securities and may not rely on the
applicable interpretations of the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. If you are so deemed, you will have to
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
secondary resale transaction.
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own
account in exchange for private notes, which the broker-dealer
acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.
By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with
resales of exchange notes received in exchange for private notes
which the broker-dealer acquired as a result of market-making or
other trading activities.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this
prospectus, we will accept any and all private notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date. You may
tender outstanding private notes only in denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000.
The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the
form and terms of the private notes except that:
|
|
|
|
|
we will register the exchange
notes under the Securities Act and, therefore, the exchange
notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer; and
|
|
|
|
holders of the exchange notes
will not be entitled to any of the rights of holders of private
notes under the registration rights agreement, which rights will
terminate upon the completion of the exchange offer.
|
The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the private
notes and will be issued under the same indenture, so the
exchange notes and the private notes will be treated as a single
class of debt securities under the indenture.
As of the date of this prospectus, $800,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the private notes are outstanding and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for
The Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Only a registered holder
of the private notes, or such holders legal representative
or attorney-in-fact, as
reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may
participate in the exchange offer. We will not set a fixed
record date for determining registered holders of the private
notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
You do not have any appraisal or dissenters rights under
the indenture in connection with the exchange offer. We intend
to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions
of the registration rights agreement and the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered private
notes when, as and if we had given oral or written notice of
acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as
your agent for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from
us.
15
Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments
The term expiration date will mean 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time
on ,
2006, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange
offer, in which case the term expiration date will
mean the latest date and time to which we extend the exchange
offer.
To extend the exchange offer, we will:
|
|
|
|
|
notify the exchange agent of any
extension orally or in writing; and
|
|
|
|
publicly announce the extension,
including disclosure of the approximate number of private notes
deposited to date,
|
each before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next
business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
We reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion:
|
|
|
|
|
to delay accepting any private
notes;
|
|
|
|
to extend or amend the terms of
the exchange offer; or
|
|
|
|
if any conditions listed below
under Conditions are not satisfied, to
terminate the exchange offer by giving oral or written notice of
the delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent.
|
We will follow any delay in acceptance, extension or termination
as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the
exchange agent and a press release or oral or written notice to
the holders of the private notes. If we amend the exchange offer
in a manner we determine constitutes a material change, we will
promptly disclose the amendment in a prospectus supplement that
we will distribute to the registered holders. We will also
extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business
days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the
manner of disclosure, if the exchange offer would otherwise
expire during the five to ten business day period.
Interest on the Exchange Notes
The exchange notes will bear interest at the same rate and on
the same terms as the private notes. Consequently, the exchange
notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 5.75% per
annum. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on
April 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2006.
Interest on the exchange notes will accrue from the last
interest payment date on which interest was paid on the private
notes or, if no interest was paid on the private notes, from the
date of issuance of the private notes, which was April 12,
2006. We will deem the right to receive any interest accrued on
the private notes waived by you if we accept your private notes
for exchange.
Procedures for Tendering
If you are a DTC participant that has private notes which are
credited to your DTC account also by book-entry and which are
held of record by DTCs nominee, you may tender your
private notes by book-entry transfer as if you were the record
holder. Because of this, references in this prospectus to
registered or record holders include DTC participants with
private notes credited to their accounts. If you are not a DTC
participant, you may tender your private notes by book-entry
transfer by contacting your broker or opening an account with a
DTC participant.
If you wish to tender private notes in the exchange offer, you
must cause to be transmitted to the exchange agent an
agents message, which agents message must be
received by the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the expiration date. In addition, the exchange
agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer
of the private notes into the exchange agents account at
DTC through ATOP under the procedure for book-entry transfers
described in this prospectus along with a properly transmitted
agents message, on or before the expiration date.
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 its participant
tendering private notes which are the subject of this book-entry
16
confirmation that this participant has received and agrees to be
bound by the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this prospectus and that we may enforce the agreement against
the participant. To receive confirmation of a valid tender of
private notes, you should contact the exchange agent at the
telephone number listed under Exchange Agent.
Your tender, if not withdrawn before the expiration date, will
constitute a binding agreement between you and us in accordance
with the terms and subject to the conditions described in this
prospectus. Only a registered holder of private notes may tender
the private notes in the exchange offer. If you wish to tender
private notes that are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you
should promptly instruct the registered holder to tender on your
behalf.
We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the
validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance and
withdrawal of tendered private notes, which determination will
be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject
any and all private notes not properly tendered or any private
notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our
counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any
defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular
private notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of
the exchange offer will be final and binding on all parties.
Unless waived, you must cure any defects or irregularities in
connection with tenders of private notes within the time we
determine. Although we intend to notify you of defects or
irregularities with respect to tenders of private notes, neither
we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any
liability for failure to give you that notification. We will not
deem tenders of private notes to have been made until you cure,
or we waive, any defects or irregularities.
While we have no present plan to acquire any private notes that
are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration
statement to permit resales of any private notes that are not
tendered in the exchange offer, we reserve the right in our sole
discretion to purchase or make offers for any private notes that
remain outstanding after the expiration date. We also reserve
the right to terminate the exchange offer, as described under
Conditions, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, purchase private notes in the open market, in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any
of those purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the
exchange offer.
By tendering, you will be making several representations to us
including that:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
the exchange notes to be acquired by you are being acquired by
you in the ordinary course of your business; |
|
|
(2) |
you are not participating in, and do not intend to participate
in, a distribution of the exchange notes; |
|
|
(3) |
you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the exchange notes; |
|
|
(4) |
you satisfy specific requirements of your states
securities regulations; |
|
|
(5) |
if you are a broker-dealer or are participating in the exchange
offer for the purposes of distributing the exchange notes, you
will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a
secondary resale transaction of the exchange notes acquired by
you and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in no-action
letters issued to third parties; |
|
|
(6) |
if you are a broker-dealer, you understand that a secondary
resale transaction described in clause (5) above and any
resales of exchange notes obtained by you in exchange for
unregistered notes acquired by you directly from us should be
covered by an effective registration statement containing the
selling securityholder information required by Item 507 and
Item 508, as applicable, of
Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act; and |
|
|
(7) |
you are not our affiliate as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act. |
If you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for
your own account in exchange for private notes that were
acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, you will also be required to acknowledge
that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale
of those exchange notes; however, by so acknowledging and by
delivering a prospectus, you will not be deemed to admit that
you are an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.
17
Return of Private Notes
If we do not accept any tendered private notes for any reason
described in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or
if you withdraw or submit private notes for a greater principal
amount than you desire to exchange, we will return the
unaccepted, withdrawn or non-exchanged notes without expense to
you as promptly as practicable. We will credit such private
notes to an account maintained at DTC designated by such DTC
participant after the expiration date of the exchange offer or
the withdrawal or termination of the exchange offer.
Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account
with respect to the private notes at DTC for purposes of the
exchange offer within two business days after the date of this
prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in
DTCs systems may make book-entry delivery of private notes
by causing DTC to transfer the private notes into the exchange
agents account at DTC in accordance with the DTCs
procedures for transfer. Delivery of documents to DTC does not
constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
Upon satisfaction of all conditions to the exchange offer, we
will accept, promptly after the expiration date, all private
notes properly tendered and will issue the exchange notes
promptly after acceptance of the private notes.
For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have
accepted properly tendered private notes for exchange when we
have given oral or written notice of that acceptance to the
exchange agent. For each initial note accepted for exchange, you
will receive an exchange note having a principal amount equal to
that of the surrendered initial note.
In all cases, we will issue exchange notes for private notes
that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only
after the exchange agent timely receives:
|
|
|
|
|
timely confirmation of
book-entry transfer of your private notes into the exchange
agents account at DTC; and
|
|
|
|
a properly transmitted
agents message.
|
If we do not accept any tendered private notes for any reason
set forth in the terms of the exchange offer, we will credit the
non-exchanged private notes to your account maintained with DTC.
Withdrawal of Tenders
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may
withdraw tenders of private notes at any time before the
exchange offer expires.
For a withdrawal to be effective, the holder must cause to be
transmitted to the exchange agent an agents message, which
agents message must be received by the exchange agent
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration
date. In addition, the exchange agent must receive a timely
confirmation of book-entry transfer of the private notes out of
the exchange agents account at DTC under the procedure for
book-entry transfers described in this prospectus along with a
properly transmitted agents message on or before the
expiration date.
We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the
validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of
notices of withdrawal. Our determination will be final and
binding on all parties. Any private notes so withdrawn will be
deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the
exchange offer, and we will not issue exchange notes with
respect to those private notes, unless you validly retender the
withdrawn private notes. The private notes will be credited to
an account maintained with DTC for the private notes. You may
retender properly withdrawn private notes by following one of
the procedures described under Procedures for
Tendering at any time on or before the expiration date.
Conditions
Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we will
not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange the exchange
notes for, any private notes, and may terminate or amend the
exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the
acceptance of the private notes, if, in our reasonable judgment,
the
18
exchange offer violates applicable law, rules or regulations or
an applicable interpretation of the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any action or proceeding has been
instituted or threatened in any court or before any governmental
agency with respect to the exchange offer which, in our
judgment, might impair our ability to proceed with the exchange
offer or materially and adversely affect us.
If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of these
conditions are not satisfied, we may:
|
|
|
|
|
refuse to accept any private
notes and return all tendered private notes to the tendering
noteholders;
|
|
|
|
extend the exchange offer and
retain all private notes tendered before the exchange offer
expires, subject, however, to your rights to withdraw the
private notes; or
|
|
|
|
waive the unsatisfied conditions
with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly
tendered private notes that have not been withdrawn.
|
If the waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange
offer, we will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a
prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered
holders of the private notes, and we will extend the exchange
offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon
the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to
the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise
expire during the five to ten business day period.
Termination of Rights
All of your rights under the registration rights agreement will
terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer except with
respect to our continuing obligations:
|
|
|
|
|
to indemnify you and parties
related to you against specific liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act;
|
|
|
|
to provide, upon your request,
the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act to permit resales of the notes pursuant to
Rule 144A;
|
|
|
|
to provide copies of the latest
version of the prospectus to broker-dealers upon their request
for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date;
|
|
|
|
to use our best efforts to keep
the registration statement effective and to amend and supplement
the prospectus in order to permit the prospectus to be lawfully
delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act for the period of time that
persons must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act in order to resell the exchange
notes; and
|
|
|
|
to use our best efforts, under
specific circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement
and keep the registration statement effective to the extent
necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of transfer
restricted securities by broker-dealers for a period of up to
two years.
|
Shelf Registration
If:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in law or the applicable
interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission do not permit us to effect the exchange offer; or
|
|
|
|
for any other reason the
exchange offer is not completed within 210 days following
the date of the original issuance of the private notes; or
|
|
|
|
the initial purchasers so
request, within 20 days after the consummation of the
exchange offer, with respect to any private notes held by them
following the completion of the exchange offer (or with respect
to exchange notes received in exchange for the private
notes); or
|
|
|
|
any holder of private notes
(other than an initial purchaser) notifies us within
20 days after the consummation of the exchange offer that
it is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer; or
|
|
|
|
any holder of private notes does
not receive freely tradable exchange notes in the exchange offer
other than by reason of such holder being our affiliate (it
being understood that any prospectus delivery requirements in
connection with sales of exchange notes by the initial
purchasers shall not result in
|
19
|
|
|
|
|
such exchange notes not being freely tradable, and
any prospectus delivery requirements in connection with sales of
exchange notes by an exchanging broker-dealer shall not result
in such exchange notes not being freely tradable), |
we will, at our cost:
|
|
|
|
|
as promptly as practicable, but
not later than 30 days after so required or requested
pursuant to the registration rights agreement, cause to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission a shelf registration
statement covering resales of the private notes;
|
|
|
|
use our best efforts to cause
the shelf registration to be declared effective under the
Securities Act as soon as practicable; and
|
|
|
|
use our best efforts to keep the
shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of two
years after its effective date or until all notes eligible to be
sold thereunder have been sold.
|
We will provide to each relevant holder copies of the prospectus
which is part of the shelf registration statement, notify each
holder when the shelf registration statement has been filed and
when it has become effective and take certain other actions as
are required to permit unrestricted resales of the notes. A
holder that sells notes pursuant to the shelf registration
statement generally:
|
|
|
|
|
will be required to be named as
a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to
deliver a prospectus to purchasers;
|
|
|
|
will be subject to certain of
the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in
connection with the sales; and
|
|
|
|
will be bound by the provisions
of the registration rights agreement which are applicable to the
holder, including specified indemnification obligations.
|
In addition, a holder of private notes will be required to
deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf
registration statement in order to have the holders
private notes included in the shelf registration statement. The
notes of any holder that unreasonably fails to furnish this
information within a reasonable time after receiving the request
may be excluded from the shelf registration statement.
Liquidated Damages
If:
|
|
|
|
|
on or prior to the
120th day following the date of original issuance of the
notes, neither the exchange offer registration statement nor the
shelf registration statement has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission;
|
|
|
|
on or prior to the
210th day following the date of original issuance of the
notes the exchange offer has not been consummated;
|
|
|
|
on or prior to the 30th day
after being so required or requested, we fail to file or cause
to be filed or fail to otherwise designate a shelf registration
statement; or
|
|
|
|
after either the exchange offer
registration statement or the shelf registration statement has
been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter
ceases to be effective or usable (subject to specified
exceptions) in connection with resales of notes in accordance
with and during the periods specified in the registration rights
agreement,
|
the interest rate borne by the notes will increase by
0.25% per annum during the
90-day period
immediately following the occurrence of any of the events
described above, each of which will constitute a registration
default. The interest rate will increase by 0.25% per annum
at the end of each subsequent
90-day period until all
such registration defaults have been cured, but in no event
shall such rate increase exceed 0.50% per annum. Following
the cure of all registration defaults, the accrual of the
additional interest will cease and the interest rate will revert
to the original rate.

We have appointed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct any
questions and requests for assistance and requests for
additional copies of this prospectus to the exchange agent
addressed as follows:

Fees and Expenses
We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. We are making
the principal solicitation by mail; however, our and our
affiliates officers and regular employees may make
additional solicitations by telegraph, telephone or in person.
We have not retained any dealer manager in connection with the

These expenses include registration fees, fees and expenses of
the exchange agent and the trustee, accounting and legal fees
and printing costs, among others.
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the
exchange of notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, a
transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange
of the private notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then you
must pay the amount of these transfer taxes. If you do not
submit satisfactory evidence of payment of these taxes or
exemption from payment, we will bill the amount of these
transfer taxes directly to you.
Consequence of Failures to Exchange
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. We urge you to
consult your financial and tax advisors in making your decisions
on what action to take.
Private notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant
to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities.
Accordingly, those private notes may be resold only:
|
|
|
|
|
to a person whom the seller
reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a
transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A;
|
|
|
|
in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
|
|
|
|

foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of
Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities
Act;
|
|
|
|
in accordance with another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and based upon an opinion of counsel if we so request;
|
|
|
|
to us; or
|
|
|
|
pursuant to an effective
registration statement.
|
In each case, the private notes may be resold only in accordance
with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United
States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
Accounting Treatment
For accounting purposes, we will recognize no gain or loss as a
result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer
will be amortized over the term of the exchange notes.
21
DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES
The private notes are governed by, and the exchange notes will
be governed by, an indenture dated as of April 12, 2006,
between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee. A copy of the indenture is available to investors in
the notes upon request to Allergan, and is available for
inspection at the corporate trust office of the trustee.
The following summary of certain provisions of the indenture
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified
in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the notes and
the indenture. Because the following is only a summary, it does
not contain all information that you may find useful.
Definitions of certain terms are set forth under
Certain Definitions and throughout this
description. Capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
indenture, and those definitions are incorporated herein by
reference. As used in this Description of Notes,
unless otherwise indicated, the words we,
us, our and Allergan refer
to Allergan, Inc., and do not include our subsidiaries. When we
refer to notes in this section, we mean the private
notes, any additional notes issued under the indenture (see
Additional Notes) and the exchange notes to be
issued in exchange for the private notes and the additional
notes, if any, pursuant to the exchange offer.
The notes will be issued only in registered form in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000
above that amount. The notes will be payable at the corporate
trust office of the paying agent, which initially will be an
office or agency of the trustee, or an office or agency
maintained by us for such purpose. The notes will be represented
by one or more global securities registered in the name of a
nominee of the depositary. See Book Entry, Delivery
and Form.
We may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time
purchase the notes in the open market or by tender at any price
or by private agreement.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The notes will initially be limited to $800,000,000 aggregate
principal amount and will mature on April 1, 2016, unless
earlier redeemed by us (see Redemption at the Option
of Allergan). The notes will bear cash interest at the
rate of 5.75% per annum from the date of original issuance
(April 12, 2006), or from the most recent date interest has
been paid or provided for. We will pay interest on the notes
semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of
each year, commencing on October 1, 2006, to holders of
record at the close of business on the March 15 or the
September 15 immediately preceding such interest payment
date.
Each payment of cash interest on the notes will include interest
accrued for the period commencing on and including the
immediately preceding interest payment date (or, if none, the
scheduled original issuance date) through the day before the
applicable interest payment date. Any payment required to be
made on any day that is not a business day will be made on the
next succeeding business day and no interest will accrue on such
payment for the period from and after such payment date to the
date of such payment on the next succeeding business day.
Interest will be calculated using a
360-day year composed
of twelve 30-day
months. A business day is any weekday that is not a
day on which banking institutions in The City of New York
are authorized or obligated to close. Interest will cease to
accrue on a note upon its maturity or redemption by us at our
option.
Ranking
The notes are our general obligations and will not be secured by
any collateral. Your right to payment under these notes will be:
|
|
|
|
|
junior in right of payment to
the rights of our secured creditors to the extent of their
security in our assets;
|
|
|
|
equal in right of payment with
the rights of creditors under our other existing and future
unsecured unsubordinated obligations, including our revolving
credit facilities, our medium term notes and the Convertible
Notes offered in a transaction that settled simultaneously with
the offering of the notes;
|
22
|
|
|
|
|
senior in right of payment to
the rights of creditors under obligations expressly subordinated
to the notes; and
|
|
|
|
effectively subordinated to
secured and unsecured creditors of our subsidiaries.
|
As of March 31, 2006, after giving effect to the Financing
Transactions, including this offering, and the application of
the net proceeds from the Financing Transactions, including the
redemption of our 2022 Notes, we and our subsidiaries had
approximately $800.7 million of consolidated indebtedness
that ranks equally with the notes, and our subsidiaries had
approximately $127.0 million of indebtedness that is
structurally subordinated to the notes.
Additional Notes
We may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent
of or notice to the holders of the notes create and issue
additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest
rate, maturity and other terms of the notes offered hereby in
all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of
interest accruing prior to the issue date of the additional
notes or except for the first payment of interest following the
issue date of the additional notes) so that the additional notes
may be consolidated and form a single series of notes with, and
have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as,
the notes offered hereby.
Holders of additional notes would have the right to vote
together with holders of notes offered hereby and the exchange
notes as one class.
Redemption at the Option of Allergan
We may redeem the notes, at any time in whole or, from time to
time, in part, for cash at a redemption price equal to the
greater of:
|
|
|
|
|
100% of the principal amount of
notes to be redeemed, and
|
|
|
|
the sum of the present values of
the remaining scheduled payments on such notes discounted to the
redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day
months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable treasury
rate plus 15 basis points. |
In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the
redemption date.
The term treasury rate means, with respect to any
redemption date for the notes, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the
third business day immediately preceding the redemption date of
the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price for the
comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount)) equal to the comparable treasury price for
that redemption date. The treasury rate shall be calculated on
the third business day preceding the redemption date.
The term comparable treasury issue means the United
States Treasury security selected by the reference treasury
dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of
the notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and
in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to
the remaining term of the notes.
The term comparable treasury price means with
respect to any redemption date the reference treasury dealer
quotations for that redemption date.
The term reference treasury dealer means Banc of
America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman,
Sachs & Co. and any successor firm; provided that, if
any of Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or Goldman,
Sachs & Co. ceases to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer, we will substitute another nationally
recognized investment banking firm that is a primary
U.S. Government securities dealer.
The term reference treasury dealer quotations means,
with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of
the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing
23
to the trustee by such reference treasury dealer at
3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business
day preceding such redemption date.
The term remaining scheduled payments means the
remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the
notes that would be due after the related redemption date but
for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest
payment date with respect to the notes, the amount of the next
succeeding scheduled interest payment on the notes will be
reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the notes to such
redemption date.
Certain Covenants Of Allergan
We will not, and will not permit any of our subsidiaries to,
create, assume or suffer to exist any lien on any restricted
property to secure any debt of Allergan, any of our subsidiaries
or any other person, unless all payments due under the indenture
and the notes are secured equally and ratably with such debt for
so long as such debt shall be so secured, except for:
|
|
|
|
|
existing liens or liens on
facilities of corporations at the time they become our
subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
liens existing on facilities
when acquired by us or our subsidiaries, or incurred by us or
our subsidiaries to finance the purchase price, construction or
improvement thereof;
|
|
|
|
certain liens required by
contracts with, and in favor of, governmental entities;
|
|
|
|
liens securing intercompany debt
between us and our subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
liens otherwise prohibited by
the indenture securing indebtedness which, together with the
aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness secured by other
liens otherwise prohibited by the indenture and the value of
certain sale and leaseback transactions, does not exceed 10% of
our consolidated tangible net assets; and
|
|
|
|
such other liens specified in
the indenture.
|
|
|
|
Limitation on Sale-Leaseback Transactions |
We will not, and will not permit any of our subsidiaries to,
enter into any sale and leaseback transaction covering any
restricted property unless:
|
|
|
|
|
we would be entitled under the
provisions described above to incur debt secured by liens on the
facilities to be leased equal to the value of such sale and
leaseback transaction, without equally and ratably securing the
notes; or
|
|
|
|
during the six months following
the effective date of such sale and leaseback transaction, we
apply to the voluntary retirement of long-term indebtedness or
to the acquisition of restricted property an amount at least
equal to the lesser of (a) the net proceeds of the sale of
the restricted property leased pursuant to such arrangement or
the fair value of the restricted property so leased (whichever
amount is greater) or (b) the value of the sale and
leaseback transaction.
|
As used in this section, the following terms have the meanings
set forth below:
The term consolidated tangible net assets means the
total of the net tangible assets of Allergan and our
subsidiaries, included in our financial statements prepared on a
consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, after eliminating all intercompany items.
The term restricted property means (a) any
manufacturing facility, or portion thereof, owned or leased by
us or any of our subsidiaries and located within the continental
United States, which, in the opinion of our board of directors,
is of material importance to our business or the business of our
subsidiaries taken as a whole, but no such manufacturing
facility, or portion thereof, shall be deemed of material
importance if its gross book value (before deducting accumulated
depreciation) is less than 2% of our consolidated tangible net
assets, or (b) any shares of capital stock of any of our
subsidiaries owning any such manufacturing facility.
24
The term sale and leaseback transaction means any
arrangement with any person pursuant to which we or any of our
subsidiaries leases any restricted property that has been or is
to be sold or transferred by us or our subsidiary to such
person, other than (1) temporary leases for a term,
including renewals at the option of the lessee, of not more than
three years, (2) leases between us and our subsidiary or
between our subsidiaries, (3) leases of a restricted
property executed by the time of, or within 12 months after
the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction
or improvement, or the commencement of commercial operation of
the restricted property, and (4) arrangements pursuant to
any provision of law with an effect similar to the former
Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
The term subsidiary means a corporation of which a
majority of the capital stock having voting power under ordinary
circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors of
such corporation is owned by (i) us, (ii) us and one
or more of our subsidiaries or (iii) one or more of our
subsidiaries.
The term value means, with respect to a sale and
leaseback transaction, an amount equal to the present value of
the lease payments with respect to the term of the lease
remaining on the date as of which the amount is being
determined, without regard to any renewal or extension options
contained in the lease, discounted at the weighted average
interest rate on the notes which are outstanding on the
effective date of such sale and leaseback transaction and which
have the benefit of the indenture.
Merger and Sales of Assets by Allergan
The indenture provides that we may not consolidate with or merge
into any other person or sell, lease, or otherwise transfer (in
one transaction or a series of transactions) all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of us and our
subsidiaries to any person, unless among other things:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if other than
Allergan) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of: |
(a) the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia;
(b) any member country of the European Union; or
|
|
(c) |
any other country if the organization and existence of such
person in such country would not impair the rights of holders; |
(2) such person assumes all of our obligations under the
notes and the indenture; and
(3) we or such successor person shall not immediately
thereafter be in default under the indenture.
Upon the assumption of our obligations by such a person in such
circumstances, subject to certain exceptions, we shall be
discharged from all obligations under the notes and the
indenture.
An assumption of our obligations under the notes and the
indenture by such corporation might be deemed for United States
federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the notes for
new notes by the holders thereof, resulting in recognition of
gain or loss for such purposes and possibly other adverse tax
consequences to the holders. Holders should consult their own
tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of such an
assumption.
There is no precise, established definition of the phrase
substantially all under applicable law relating to
the transfer of properties and assets under applicable law and
accordingly there may be uncertainty as to whether the foregoing
provision would apply to a sale or lease of less than all our
assets.
Events Of Default
The indenture provides that, if an event of default specified
therein shall have happened and be continuing, either the
trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including
exchange notes and additional notes, if any, voting together as
a single class) may declare the principal amount of the notes
outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest through but
excluding the date of such declaration to be immediately due and
payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, the principal amount of the notes outstanding plus
accrued and unpaid interest through the occurrence of such event
shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable.
25
Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes (including
exchange notes and additional notes, if any, voting together as
a single class) may rescind any such acceleration with respect
to the notes and its consequences. Interest shall, to the extent
permitted by law, accrue and be payable on demand upon a default
in the payment of the principal amount or a redemption price on
any note, and such interest shall be compounded semi-annually.
Under the indenture, an event of default is defined as, with
respect to the notes, any of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
default in payment of the
principal amount with respect to any note when it becomes due
and payable;
|
|
|
|
default in payment of any
interest due on the notes, including additional interest payable
under the registration rights agreement, which default continues
for 30 days;
|
|
|
|
default in the performance or
breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture,
which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days
after we receive written notice from the trustee or we and the
trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes;
|
|
|
|
certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency; and
|
|
|
|
(a) our failure to make any
payment by the end of any applicable grace period of
indebtedness, which term as used in the indenture means our
obligations (other than nonrecourse obligations) for borrowed
money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar
instruments in an amount in excess of $75,000,000 and
continuance of such failure, or (b) the acceleration of
indebtedness in an amount in excess of $75,000,000 because of a
default with respect to such indebtedness without such
indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having
been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of
subclause (a) for a period of 30 days after written
notice to us by the trustee or to us and the trustee by the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the notes then outstanding (including exchange notes and
additional notes, if any, voting together as a single class);
provided, however, that if any such failure or acceleration
referred to in (a) or (b) above shall cease or be cured, waived,
rescinded or annulled, then the event of default by reason
thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred.
|
The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of
default under our bank credit agreements and other indebtedness
in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of
certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture
may constitute an event of default under certain of our other
indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
The trustee is required to give notice to holders of the notes
of any continuing default known to the trustee within
90 days after the occurrence thereof; provided, that the
trustee may withhold such notice, as to any default other than a
payment default, if it determines in good faith that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the holders.
The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
indenture at the request of any holder of outstanding notes,
unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against
any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain rights of the
trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding notes may direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
trustee, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict
with any law or the indenture and subject to certain other
limitations. Before proceeding to exercise any right or power
under the indenture at the direction of such holders, the
trustee shall be entitled to receive from such holders
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
complying with any such direction.
No holder will have any right to pursue any remedy with respect
to the indenture or the notes, unless:
|
|
|
|
|
such holder shall have
previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing
event of default with respect to the notes;
|
26
|
|
|
|
|
the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes (including
exchange notes and additional notes, if any, voting together as
a single class) shall have made a written request to the trustee
to pursue such remedy;
|
|
|
|
such holder or holders have
offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the
trustee;
|
|
|
|
the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the notes (including exchange
notes and additional notes, if any, voting together as a single
class) have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with
such request within 60 days after receipt of such
request; and
|
|
|
|
the trustee shall have failed to
comply with the request within such
60-day period. |
The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of
our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to
compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the
trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the notes of any
default or event of default other than a payment default, if it
determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the
interests of the holders.
Modification And Waiver
Without the consent of any holder of notes, we and the trustee
may amend the indenture to:
|
|
|
|
|
cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency;
|
|
|
|
provide for the assumption by a
successor corporation of our obligations under the indenture;
|
|
|
|
make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any holder of notes;
|
|
|
|
make any change to comply with
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, or to comply with any
requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with the qualification of the indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939;
|
|
|
|
add to our covenants or
obligations under the indenture or surrender any right, power or
option conferred by the indenture on us;
|
|
|
|
provide for the issuance of any
additional notes as permitted by the indenture; or
|
|
|
|
provide for the issuance of the
exchange notes (as defined below).
|
In addition, modification and amendment of the indenture or the
notes may be effected by us and the trustee with the consent of
the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the notes then outstanding. However, without the
consent of each holder affected thereby, no amendment may, among
other things:
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the principal amount,
rate of interest or redemption price, or extend the stated
maturity of any note or make any note payable in money or
securities other than that stated in the note;
|
|
|
|
make any reduction in the
principal amount of notes; or
|
|
|
|
modify the indenture provisions
relating to amendments or waivers.
|
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
notes (including exchange notes and additional notes, if any,
voting together as a single class) may, on behalf of the holders
of such notes waive any existing or past default under the
indenture and its consequences, except a default in the payment
of the principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest or
redemption price or in respect of any provision which under the
indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the holder of each outstanding note affected.
Discharge of the Indenture
We may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the indenture
with respect to the notes by delivering to the trustee for
cancellation all outstanding notes or depositing with the
trustee, after such outstanding notes have become due and
payable, cash sufficient to pay on the maturity date all of the
outstanding notes and paying all other sums payable under the
indenture with respect to the notes.
27
Book Entry, Delivery and Form
The private notes are represented by, and the exchange notes
will be represented by, one or more permanent global notes in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (the
Global Notes), deposited with the trustee as
custodian for, and vested in the name of, DTC or its nominee
(such nominee referred to herein as the Global Note
Holder).
Depository Procedures
The following description of the operations and procedures of
DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter
of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely
within the control of the respective settlement systems and are
subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these
operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the
system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.
DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company
which was created to hold securities for its participating
organizations (collectively, the participants) and
to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in
such securities between participants through electronic
book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. DTCs
participants include securities brokers and dealers (including
the initial purchasers), banks and trust companies, clearing
corporations and certain other organizations. Access to
DTCs system is also available to other entities such as
banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the
indirect participants) that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either
directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants may
beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only
through DTCs participants or DTCs indirect
participants.
We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC
(i) upon the issuance of the notes, DTC or its custodian
will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at
maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by
such notes to the respective accounts of persons who have
accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of the
notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof
will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with
respect to the interests of DTCs participants), DTCs
participants and DTCs indirect participants. Prospective
purchasers are advised that the laws of some states require that
certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of
securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer
notes will be limited to such extent.
So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or
holder of the notes, DTC or that nominee, as the case may be,
will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes
represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the
indenture and the notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in a
Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in
accordance with DTCs applicable procedures, in addition to
those provided for under the indenture and, if applicable, those
of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking.
Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note
will be made to the Global Note Holder as the registered owner
thereof. Neither we, the trustee nor any paying agent will have
any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.
We expect that the Global Note Holder, upon receipt of any
payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note,
will credit participants accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the
principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of
the Global Note Holder. We also expect that payments by
participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Note held through such participants will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the
names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the
responsibility of such participants.
Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the
ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in
same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and
Clearstream Banking will be effected in the ordinary way in
accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable
to the notes, cross-market transfers between the participants in
DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, on
the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with
DTCs rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking,
28
as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such
cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions
to Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case may be, by the
counterparts in such system in accordance with the rules and
procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time)
of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream Banking, as the case
may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement
requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary
to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by
delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global notes
in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with
normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to
DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream Banking participants
may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for
Euroclear or Clearstream Banking.
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a
Euroclear or Clearstream Banking participant purchasing an
interest in a Global Note from a participant in DTC will be
credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the
relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Banking participant, during
the securities settlement processing day (which must be a
business day for Euroclear and Clearstream Banking) immediately
following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear
or Clearstream Banking as a result of sales of interest in a
Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream Banking
participant to a participant in DTC will be received with value
on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the
relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Banking cash account only as
of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream Banking
following DTCs settlement date.
We expect that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by
a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for
exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or
more participants to whose account DTCs interests in a
Global Note is credited and only in respect of such portion of
the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such
participant or participants has or have given such direction.
However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, the
DTC will exchange the applicable Global Note for certificated
notes, which it will distribute to its participants.
If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a
depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is
not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue
certificated notes in exchange for the Global Notes. Holders of
an interest in a Global Note may receive certificated notes in
accordance with DTCs rules and procedures in addition to
those provided for under the indenture.
Same-Day Settlement and Payment
The indenture requires that payments in respect of the notes
(including principal, premium, if any, and interest) be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the Global Note Holders.
Transfer and Exchange
A holder may transfer or exchange the notes in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the indenture. The registrar may
require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents, and to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the indenture. The
registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any note
selected for redemption.
The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes.
Governing Law
The indenture, the notes and the registration rights agreement
will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.
Information Concerning the Trustee
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, an affiliate of an
initial purchaser of the Convertible Notes, is the trustee,
registrar and paying agent under the indenture. We may maintain
deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the
trustee in the normal course of business.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of certain material United States
federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of
private notes for exchange notes pursuant to this exchange
offer, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the
potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is
based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial
decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be
changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in United
States federal income tax consequences different from those set
forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the statements
made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and
there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such
statements and conclusions.
This summary is limited to holders who purchased the notes upon
their initial issuance at their initial issue price and who hold
the notes as capital assets. This summary also does not address
the effect of the United States federal estate or gift tax laws
or the tax considerations arising under the laws of any foreign,
state or local jurisdiction. In addition, this discussion does
not address tax considerations applicable to an investors
particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to
special tax rules, including, without limitation:
|
|
|
|
|
banks, insurance companies, or
other financial institutions;
|
|
|
|
holders subject to the
alternative minimum tax;
|
|
|
|
tax-exempt organizations;
|
|
|
|
dealers in securities or
commodities;
|
|
|
|
traders in securities that elect
to use a mark-to-market
method of accounting for their securities holdings; |
|
|
|
foreign persons or entities
(except to the extent specifically set forth below);
|
|
|
|
persons that are
S-corporations,
partnerships or other pass-through entities; |
|
|
|
expatriates and certain former
citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
|
|
|
|
Holders that are
U.S. persons, as defined by the Code, whose
functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
|
|
|
|
persons who hold the notes as a
position in a hedging transaction, straddle,
conversion transaction or other risk reduction
transaction; or
|
|
|
|
persons deemed to sell the notes
under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.
|
YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE
APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR
PARTICULAR SITUATION AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
EXCHANGE OFFER ARISING UNDER THE FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX
RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR
OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.
Exchange of Private Notes for Exchange Notes
The exchange of private notes for exchange notes in the exchange
offer will not be treated as an exchange for federal
income tax purposes because the exchange notes will not be
considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the
private notes. Accordingly, the exchange of private notes for
exchange notes will not be a taxable event to holders for
federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the exchange notes will
have the same tax attributes as the private notes and the same
tax consequences to holders as the private notes have to
holders, including without limitation, the same adjusted tax
basis and holding period. Therefore, references to
notes apply equally to the exchange notes and the
private notes.
30
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own
account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it
will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer
in connection with resales of exchange notes received in
exchange for private notes where such private notes were
acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the
expiration of the exchange offer and ending on the close of
business one year after the expiration of the exchange offer, we
will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available
to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
In addition,
until ,
all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be
required to deliver a prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes
by brokers-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers
for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold
from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter
market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of
options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods
of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated
prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to
or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in
the form of commissions or concessions from any such
broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes.
Any broker-dealer that resales exchange notes that were received
by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any
broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such
exchange notes may be deemed to be an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any
such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions
received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. By acknowledging that it
will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer is
not deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of one year after the expiration of the exchange
offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this
prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to
any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed
to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including
the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the securities)
other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers
and will indemnify the holders of the securities (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
The broker-dealer acknowledges and agrees that, upon receipt of
notice from us of the happening of any event which:
|
|
|
|
|
makes any statement in this
prospectus untrue in any material respect;
|
|
|
|
requires the making of any
changes in this prospectus to make the statements in this
prospectus not misleading; or
|
|
|
|
may impose upon us disclosure
obligations that may have a material adverse effect on us,
|
which notice we agree to deliver promptly to the broker-dealer,
the broker-dealer will suspend use of this prospectus until we
have notified the broker-dealer that delivery of the prospectus
may resume and have furnished copies of any amendment or
supplement to this prospectus to the broker-dealer.
Each holder who wishes to exchange its notes for exchange notes
pursuant to the exchange offer will be deemed to have
represented that, at the time of the consummation of the
exchange offer:
|
|
|
|
|
it is not an affiliate of ours;
|
|
|
|
the exchange notes to be
received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its
business; and
|
|
|
|
it has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the distribution
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the notes or the
exchange notes.

Item 20. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the DGCL) provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he or she acted under similar standards to those set
forth above, except that no indemnification may be made with
respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication
of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified
for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent
a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsection (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145
of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a
director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against such officer or director and incurred by him or
her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him or her against such liabilities under
Section 145 of the DGCL.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the
Companys Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that a director shall not be liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director. However, this provision does not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions not
in good faith or for breaching his or her duty of loyalty,
engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating the
law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was
illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. A provision
of this type has no effect on the availability of equitable
remedies, such as injunction or rescission, for breach of
fiduciary duty. The Companys Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended, requires that directors and officers be indemnified
to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers. These indemnity agreements
require that the Company pay on behalf of each director and
executive officer party thereto any amount that he or she is or
becomes legally obligated to pay because of any claim or claims
made against him or her because of any act or omission or
neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error
or misstatement or misleading statement, which he or she commits
or suffers while acting in his or her capacity as a director
and/or executive officer of the Company and solely because of
his or her being a director and/or executive officer of the
Company. Under the DGCL, absent such an indemnity agreement,
indemnification of a director or officer is discretionary rather
than mandatory (except in the case of a proceeding in which a
director or officer is successful on the merits). Consistent
with the Companys Bylaw
II-1
provision on the subject, the indemnity agreements require the
Company to make prompt payment of defense and investigation
costs and expenses at the request of the director or executive
officer in advance of indemnification, provided that the
recipient undertakes to repay the amounts if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification for
such expense and provided further that such advance shall not be
made if it is determined that the director or executive officer
acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his or her duty to
the Company or its stockholders and, as a result, it is more
likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that he or
she is not entitled to indemnification under the terms of the
indemnity agreement. The indemnity agreements make the advance
of litigation expenses mandatory absent a special determination
to the contrary, whereas under the DGCL absent such an indemnity
agreement, such advance would be discretionary. Under the
indemnity agreements, the Company would not be required to pay
or reimburse the director or executive officer for his or her
expenses in seeking indemnification recovery against the
Company. By the terms of the indemnity agreements, benefits are
not available if the director or executive officer has received
payment from one or more insurance policies for the subject
claim or, with respect to the matters giving rise to the claim:
(i) received a personal benefit; (ii) violated
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or analogous provisions of law; or (iii) committed
certain acts of dishonesty. Absent the indemnity agreements,
indemnification that might be made available to directors and
officers could be changed by further amendments to the
Companys Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
The Company has a policy of directors liability insurance
that insures the directors and officers against the cost of
defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain
circumstances.
See the Exhibit Index attached to this Registration
Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
|
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement: |
|
|
|
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
|
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and |
|
|
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement. |
|
|
|
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
II-2
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fideoffering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond
to requests for information that is incorporated by reference
into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or
13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such
request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class
mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of
the registration statement through the date of responding to the
request.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply
by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired
involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.
