Exhibit 99.4

June 10, 2014

To our valued customers:

As you know, we received a revised unsolicited proposal from Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Pershing Square on May 30, 2014. This morning, we communicated to Valeant that the Allergan Board of Directors unanimously rejected this revised proposal. The Board believes the proposal substantially undervalues Allergan and is not in the best interests of our company, our stockholders and you, our customers, and your patients.

Since Valeant announced its initial hostile proposal to acquire Allergan, we have heard from physicians and healthcare providers around the world. They have told us that our work has made a difference to them, the medical community, and their patients; and they have shared their concerns about the potential impact of a Valeant transaction on Allergan, particularly on research and development and future innovation.

All of us at Allergan pride ourselves on superior R&D efforts, a distinction in innovation, first-in-class customer service and excellence in physician education and training. You can count on us to remain true to these key principles.

We recognize Allergan’s leadership position in the industry is due in large part to you. It is our belief that under Valeant, a company with a business model built upon low organic sales growth, serial acquisitions and extreme cuts across R&D and sales and marketing, Allergan would suffer and we would no longer be able to provide you the superior customer service and high-quality products you have come to expect from us. For this reason, and many more, our Board strongly believes that this proposal should be of serious concern to our stockholders, our employees, and importantly, you, our customers.

As we move through this process, we want to assure you that it remains business as usual at Allergan. We remain focused on continuing to meet and exceed your expectations and will continue to deliver innovative products that will help improve the lives of your patients. We want to thank you for the many phone calls and emails with your words of encouragement. I hope that we can count on your continued support throughout this process.

We promise to keep you informed of further developments related to this matter. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me at Pyott.David@allergan.com or your local sales representative with any questions or concerns or you can find additional information on www.allergan.com.

Sincerely,
