transactions;
the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other conditions to the offer, including

Allergan continues
its baseless attacks
Allergan
has
once
again
provided
false
and
misleading
statements
about
Valeants
business
In addition to not adjusting for Fx, divestitures, or discontinuations, it is not
clear which numbers Allergan is using for organic growth calculations
Allergans September 29
th
presentation is an attempt to distance itself from
repeated negative statements about their expectation for Valeants Q3 business
performance. As was stated in the September 24
th
letter to Mr. Pyott and Mr.
Gallagher from J. Michael Pearson:
On multiple occasions, you have said that Valeants growth is
unsustainable and that Valeant's 3Q14 results will reveal further weakness
of true organic growth.
You have also questioned whether Bausch + Lomb growth rates
would continue in the third quarter.
We welcome the opportunity to sit down with Allergan management to review
our financial results and future outlook
Allergan is once again attempting to move the goal posts
now that Valeant has
disclosed Q3 expectations that disprove Allergans previous statements

Valeant provided an update on expected Q3 results:

(unadjusted for generics)
Bausch

Valeant Q3 results expected to beat consensus on revenue and be
better than guidance on cash EPS, organic growth, restructuring
