Item    8.01.        Other  Events.

On June 10, 2014, Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”) issued a press release to announce that Allergan’s Board of Directors, after consulting with its independent financial and legal advisors, had unanimously determined that the revised unsolicited proposal announced on May 30, 2014 by Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. substantially undervalues Allergan, creates significant risks and uncertainties for the stockholders of Allergan, and is not in the best interests of Allergan or its stockholders.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. In connection with the announcement, Allergan prepared an updated investor presentation, a letter to its employees and a letter to its customers, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2, Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4, respectively.
