Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

5.625% Senior Notes due 2021

On December 2, 2013, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Issuer”) completed its previously announced offering (the “Notes Offering”) of $900 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”)

The Notes were offered and sold to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

The net proceeds of the Notes Offering are expected to be used, together with approximately $50 million of either cash on hand or borrowings under the Issuer’s revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof, to redeem all of the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiary’s, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International’s, outstanding 6.50% Senior Notes due 2016, as well as to pay fees, expenses and call premium related to the foregoing.

The Senior Notes Indenture

The Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 2, 2013 (the “Senior Notes Indenture”), between the Issuer, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Pursuant to the Senior Notes Indenture, the Notes will mature on December 1, 2021. The Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 5.625% per year. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1. Interest on the Notes will accrue from December 2, 2013.

The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 1, 2016, at the redemption prices applicable to the Notes as set forth in the Senior Notes Indenture.

In addition, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes prior to December 1, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium. Prior to December 1, 2016, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the respective redemption price set forth in the Senior Notes Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture), unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes, each holder of the Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase such holder’s Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date applicable to such Notes.

The Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Issuer and any of its restricted subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) to, among other things:

 

    incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

 

    make certain investments and other restricted payments;

 

    create liens;

 

    enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

    engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and

 

    transfer and sell assets.

The Senior Notes Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

The foregoing summary of the Senior Notes Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Senior Notes Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
