On June 4, 2009, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (Valeant or the Company) announced that
that it has priced its previously announced private placement of $365 million principal amount of
8.375% senior notes due 2016. The principal amount was increased from the previously announced
$300 million. The senior notes were priced at 96.797% of the principal amount and will be issued by
the Company and unconditionally guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repurchase securities and for general corporate
purposes.
The notes will not initially be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

buyers under Rule 144A and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act.
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the press release filed under Exhibit 99.1, does not
