On June 27, 2011, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the Company) entered into an
employment letter with Brian Stolz pursuant to which Mr. Stolz will serve as Executive Vice
President of Administration and Chief Human Capital Officer. Effective July 1, 2011, Mr. Stolz
replaced Mr. Mark Durham, who resigned, effective as of the same date, from his position as Senior
Vice President, Human Resources, to pursue other interests. Mr. Durhams last day of employment
with the Company will be August 1, 2011.
Durham Separation Agreement
On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Durham. In
connection with Mr. Durhams termination of employment, and subject to him executing and not
revoking a full release of claims, Mr. Durham will receive (i) a lump amount equal to $1,315,751
(representing Mr. Durhams pro-rata 2011 annual bonus and all severance amounts payable to Mr.
Durham) and (ii) continuation of health, medical, dental and vision care benefits for 12 months.
In addition, any unvested equity compensation awards held by Mr. Durham, other than those equity
awards granted to Mr. Durham pursuant to his 2010 employment letter, will vest pursuant to the
terms of the awards.
The foregoing description of the separation agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the separation agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Stolz Employment Letter
The employment letter entered into with Mr. Stolz sets forth Mr. Stolzs base salary of
$450,000 and target and potential annual incentive compensation opportunity between 60% and 120% of
base salary. Mr. Stolz is entitled to an additional $50,000 sign-on bonus; provided, that, if
prior to June 27, 2012, Mr. Stolz terminates his employment for any reason other than for good
reason or the Company terminates Mr. Stolzs employment for cause, Mr. Stolz will be required to
reimburse the Company for the gross amount of such award.
The employment letter also provides for the grant of (i) a stock option to acquire 85,000
shares of Company common stock vesting ratably over a period of four years subject to Mr. Stolzs
continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, and (ii) 45,000
performance share units vesting on the dates that are on the three year anniversary of the grant
date, and three months prior and three months following such anniversary provided that certain
total shareholder return hurdles are satisfied (and subject to earlier vesting in the event that
the Companys stock price exceeds certain specified thresholds) and Mr. Stolz remains employed with
the Company through the applicable vesting date. Each of the equity awards is subject to
accelerated vesting, or an earlier assessment of the achievement of applicable performance targets,
in the event of Mr. Stolzs termination of employment under certain circumstances or the event of a
change in control of the Company. Mr. Stolz is required to comply with any share ownership
requirements adopted by the Company.
In the event of the termination of Mr. Stolzs employment by the Company without cause or by
Mr. Stolz for good reason (which includes a diminution in responsibility, compensation
reduction, or the Companys material breach of a material provision of the letter agreement), Mr.
Stolz would be entitled to a cash severance payment equal to 1.6 times his base salary (or, in the
event of a termination without cause or for good reason within twelve months following a change in
control of the Company, two times the sum of his base salary and target annual bonus), a pro-rata
annual bonus based on the lesser of actual performance of the Company and target, continued health
and welfare benefits for 12 months, and outplacement services up to $20,000. Mr. Stolz is subject
to a covenant not to solicit employees during his employment and for a period of twelve months
thereafter.
The foregoing description of the employment letter is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the employment letter, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated by reference herein.
