TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
December 20, 2005, Allergan, Inc. (Allergan), Banner Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Allergan (Merger Sub or Offeror) and Inamed
Corporation (Inamed) entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the Allergan Merger Agreement),
pursuant to which Merger Sub will continue its previously announced offer
to exchange for all outstanding shares of Inamed
common stock (together with the associated preferred stock purchase
rights, the Inamed Shares) a choice of cash or
Allergan common stock, as described below, with such offer amended to conform to the terms set forth
in the Allergan Merger Agreement (as amended, the Offer). After the completion
of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inamed (the
Inamed Merger), with Inamed surviving the Merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allergan. A copy of Allergans and
Inameds joint press release announcing the execution of the Allergan
Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, as promptly as practicable after the Inamed Merger, Allergan
intends to cause Inamed to merge with and
into a wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of
Allergan. This second merger is referred to as the Post-Closing
Merger. Immediately before the Post-Closing Merger, Allergan
will be the sole stockholder of Inamed, and
none of the former Inamed stockholders will have any economic
interest in, or approval or other rights with respect to, the
Post-Closing Merger.
The following summary describes certain material provisions
of the Allergan Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2
hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference. This summary may
not contain all of the information about the Allergan Merger
Agreement that is important to Inamed stockholders, and Inamed
stockholders are encouraged to read the Allergan Merger
Agreement carefully in its entirety. The legal rights and
obligations of the parties are governed by the specific language
of the Allergan Merger Agreement, and not this summary.
The Offer
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for the making of the
Offer. Under the terms of the Offer, each Inamed stockholder may elect
to receive, for each Inamed Share validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn, either:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 in cash, without interest;
or
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of newly issued
Allergan common stock (including associated preferred stock
purchase rights),
|
in each case, subject to the proration and election procedures
described below, and further described in the Allergan Merger
Agreement.
In the Offer, 45% of the aggregate Inamed Shares tendered will
be exchanged for cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed Shares
tendered will be exchanged for shares of Allergan common stock.
Therefore, elections will be subject to proration if tendering
holders of Inamed Shares, in the aggregate, elect to receive
more than the maximum amount of consideration to be paid in cash
or Allergan common stock pursuant to the Offer.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, the obligation of
Offeror to accept for exchange and to exchange Inamed Shares for
cash and shares of Allergan common stock tendered pursuant to
the Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
These conditions are described under Conditions of the Offer below.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror may extend the
Offer:
|
|
|
|
|
from time to time in increments of no more than 10 business days
each, if at the initial or any subsequent scheduled expiration
date any of the conditions of the Offer have not been satisfied
or waived; |
|
|
|
for any period required by any rule, regulation or
interpretation of the SEC applicable to the Offer; and |
|
|
|
one time for up to five business days if less than 90% of the
Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis have not been validly
tendered at the scheduled expiration date. |
Conditions of the Offer
Pursuant to the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Offeror
is not required to accept for exchange or exchange any Inamed
Shares, may postpone the acceptance for exchange, or exchange,
of tendered Inamed Shares, if at the scheduled expiration date of
the Offer any of the following conditions are not met, and Offeror may, in
its reasonable discretion (but subject to the requirements of
applicable laws) terminate or amend the Offer in accordance with
the Allergan Merger Agreement if, the following conditions are not met:
|
|
|
|
|
(a) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) |
the representations and warranties of Inamed contained in the
Allergan Merger Agreement shall be true and correct, except
where the failure of such representations and warranties to be
true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to
materiality or Company Material Adverse
Effect set forth therein) would not, individually or in
the aggregate, result in a Company Material Adverse Effect (as
defined in the Allergan Merger Agreement); |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Inamed shall have performed in all material respects all of its
obligations required to be performed by it under the Allergan
Merger Agreement at or prior to the time Offeror accepts for
exchange Inamed Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer; |
|
|
|
(b) |
|
there shall have been validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, a number of
Inamed Shares which, together with any Inamed Shares that
Allergan or Offeror beneficially owns,
will constitute at least a majority of the total number of
outstanding Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis (as though
all options or other securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Inamed Shares had been so converted,
exercised or exchanged) as of the date that Offeror accepts the
Inamed Shares for exchange; |
|
|
2
|
|
|
|

(c) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) |

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, as amended (the HSR Act) and any other applicable similar foreign laws or
regulations will have expired or been terminated;
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
such expiration or termination has
been granted or occurred without the imposition of any material
condition or restriction, other than, to the extent required to
obtain any necessary consents, approvals or authorizations
required to complete the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the
Post-Closing Merger under applicable antitrust laws (x) the

and businesses as do not constitute material assets or

Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing Merger shall be in
effect; and no statute, rule, regulation, order, injunction or
decree shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced
by any court, administrative agency or commission or other
governmental entity that prohibits or makes illegal the
completion of the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing
Merger;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
no statute, rule, regulation,
order, injunction or decree shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or enforced by any court, administrative agency or
commission or other governmental entity that materially
restricts the completion of the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the
Post-Closing Merger other than any license, divestment,
disposition of or holding separate of (A) the Reloxin
Assets, including Inameds distribution rights and all
related rights to the Reloxin/ Dysport products in all markets,
and (B) such other assets and businesses of Allergan or
Inamed as do not

|
|
|
|
(A) |
seeking to prohibit the completion

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) |
seeking to prohibit the ownership
or operation by Inamed or Allergan or any of their respective subsidiaries

than those contemplated in the Allergan Merger Agreement
relating to the Reloxin Assets and other non-material assets or
businesses of Allergan or Inamed or their respective
subsidiaries);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(C) |
seeking to prohibit Allergan from

operations of Inamed (other than those contemplated in the
Allergan Merger Agreement relating to the Reloxin Assets and
other non-material assets or businesses of Allergan or Inamed or
their respective subsidiaries);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(vi) |

|
The conditions to the Offer set forth in the Allergan Merger
Agreement (i) are for the sole benefit of Offeror,
(ii) may be asserted by Offeror regardless of the
circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions and
(iii) may be waived by Offeror, provided that the conditions

Merger Agreement, Inamed must consent before (A) Offeror waives the minimum tender condition
described above, (B) Offeror adds any conditions to the
Offer, (C) Offeror modifies any condition to the Offer
in any manner adverse to the holders of Inamed Shares or (D) Offeror
changes

Completion and Effectiveness of the Inamed Merger
The closing of the Inamed Merger will occur on the second
business day after all of the conditions to completion of the
Inamed Merger contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement,
including the condition that the Offer shall have been
completed, are satisfied or waived, unless the parties agree
otherwise in writing (see Conditions to
the Merger below).
The Inamed Merger will become effective upon the filing of a
certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware.
3
Merger Consideration
Upon completion of the Inamed Merger, each Inamed Share
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Inamed Merger will be cancelled and extinguished and converted
into the right to receive, at the election of the holder (A) $84.00 in cash, without
interest, or (B) 0.8498 of a share of Allergan common stock
(including the associated preferred stock purchase rights), in
each case subject to proration. This consideration will be paid
upon surrender of the stock certificate formerly representing
the canceled Inamed Shares in the manner provided in the Allergan Merger
Agreement. Inamed Shares held by stockholders who validly
exercise and perfect appraisal rights will be subject to appraisal in
accordance with Delaware law as described further below under
Appraisal Rights.
The maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to the
Inamed Merger will be:
|
|
|
|
|
$84.00 multiplied by 45% of the
total number of Inamed Shares canceled pursuant to the Inamed
Merger, minus the cash value of any shares held by Inamed
stockholders who validly exercise appraisal rights (this amount
is sometimes referred to as the maximum cash merger
consideration).
|
The maximum aggregate number of shares of Allergan common stock
payable pursuant to the Inamed Merger shall be:
|
|
|
|
|
0.8498 of a share of Allergan
common stock multiplied by 55% of the total number of Inamed
Shares canceled pursuant to the Inamed Merger (this amount is
sometimes referred to as the maximum stock merger
consideration).
|
The stock merger consideration, together with the cash merger
consideration, are sometimes referred to in this Current Report as
the merger consideration. The percentages of cash
and stock consideration also may be subject to adjustments to
the extent necessary to protect the treatment of the Offer, the
Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger, collectively, as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code,
as provided in the Allergan Merger Agreement.
Although Inamed stockholders do not have appraisal rights in
connection with the Offer, Inamed Shares held by Inamed stockholders who properly demand
payment for such shares in compliance with Section 262 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) will not be converted into the right to receive the
merger consideration, but instead will be converted into the
right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be
due to such stockholder pursuant to Section 262.
However, if any Inamed stockholder fails to perfect or
otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to receive
payment under Section 262, then that Inamed stockholder
will not be paid in accordance with Section 262 and the
Inamed Shares held by that Inamed stockholder will be
exchangeable solely for the right to receive the merger
consideration as set forth in the Allergan Merger Agreement.
Fractional Shares
Allergan will not issue fractional shares of Allergan common
stock in the Offer or the Inamed Merger. Instead, each holder of Inamed
Shares who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional
shares of Allergan common stock will be
entitled to an amount of cash (without interest) equal to such
holders respective proportionate share of the proceeds
from the sale of the aggregate fractional shares of Allergan
common stock issued pursuant to the Offer or the Inamed Merger, as
the case may be, made in the
open market by the exchange agent for the Offer and the Inamed Merger on behalf of all such holders.
Top-Up Option
Subject to certain terms and conditions in the Allergan Merger
Agreement, Offeror has an irrevocable option to purchase up to
that number of Inamed Shares equal to the lowest number of
Inamed Shares that, when added to the number of Inamed Shares
collectively owned by Allergan, Offeror and any of
Allergans other subsidiaries immediately following
consummation of the Offer, shall constitute 90% of the Inamed
Shares then outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, after giving
effect to any exercise of the Top-Up option) at a
purchase price per Inamed Share of $84.00. The purchase price may be
paid in cash, shares of Allergan common stock, a promissory
note, or a combination thereof.
4
Conditions to the Merger
In addition to the completion of the Offer, the respective
obligations of Inamed, Allergan and Offeror to complete the
Inamed Merger under the Allergan Merger Agreement are subject to
the satisfaction of the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
if required by the DGCL, the
Allergan Merger Agreement will have been adopted by the
stockholders of Inamed in accordance with the DGCL;
|
|
|
|
no judgment, injunction, order or
decree of a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction will
be in effect that has the effect of making the Inamed Merger or
the Post-Closing Merger illegal or otherwise restraining or
prohibiting the consummation of the Inamed Merger or the
Post-Closing Merger;
|
|
|
|
all consents, approvals, orders or
authorizations from, and all material declarations, filings and
registrations with, any governmental entity required to
consummate the Inamed Merger and the Post-Closing Merger will
have been obtained or made, except for such consents, approvals,
orders, authorizations, material declarations, filings and
registrations, the failure of which to be obtained or
made would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined in
the Allergan Merger Agreement, and, after giving effect to the Inamed
Merger); and
|
|
|
|
no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement will be in effect and no proceedings for such purpose
will be pending before the SEC.
|
Representations and Warranties
The Allergan Merger Agreement contains customary representations
and warranties of the parties. These include representations and

including among other things: organization and qualification;
capitalization; authority; SEC filings; financial statements;
absence of undisclosed liabilities; litigation; absence of
certain changes or events; compliance with laws; environmental

The representations, warranties and covenants made by the parties in the Allergan Merger Agreement
are qualified by information contained in disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the
execution of the Allergan Merger Agreement. Stockholders are not third party beneficiaries under
the Allergan Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants
or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the
parties or any of their affiliates.
No Solicitation of Other Offers by Inamed
Under the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, subject to
certain exceptions described below, Inamed has agreed that it
and its subsidiaries, and directors, officers and employees of
it and its subsidiaries, will not, directly or indirectly:
|
|
|
|
|
solicit, initiate, encourage or
induce any inquiry regarding, or the making, submission or
announcement of, any proposal to acquire Inamed;
|
|
|
|
participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding, or furnish any non-public information
with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any
inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may
reasonably be expected to lead to, a proposal to acquire
Inamed; or
|
|
|
|
enter into any letter of intent or
similar document or contract contemplating or otherwise relating
to a proposal to acquire Inamed.
|
5
For purposes of the restrictions described above, a
proposal to acquire Inamed is any offer or proposal
with respect to a potential or proposed:
|
|
|
|
|
merger, consolidation, business
combination or similar transaction involving Inamed or any of
its significant subsidiaries pursuant to which Inameds
stockholders immediately prior to such transaction would own
less than 85% of the aggregate voting power of the entity
surviving or resulting from such transaction (or the ultimate
parent entity thereof);
|
|
|
|
sale, lease, exclusive license or
other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger,
consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint
venture or otherwise of the assets of Inamed or its subsidiaries
representing 15% or more of the consolidated assets of Inamed
and its subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
issuance, sale or other
disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation, business
combination, share exchange, joint venture or any similar
transaction) of securities representing more than 15% of the
voting power of Inamed;
|
|
|
|
transaction in which any person or
group of persons acquires beneficial ownership, or the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of, 15% or more of the outstanding
voting capital stock of Inamed; or
|
|
|
|
any combination of the above
(other than the Offer, the Inamed Merger or the Post-Closing
Merger).
|
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed is obligated to
notify Allergan in writing within 48 hours after receiving
any proposal to acquire Inamed or any request for nonpublic
information or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead
to any proposal to acquire Inamed. The notice must include the
material terms and conditions of the potential proposal, and the
identity of the person making the proposal. Inamed also must
promptly keep Allergan informed of the status and details of the
proposal, and must provide Allergan with a copy of all written
materials provided in connection with such proposal.
Notwithstanding the prohibitions described above, if Inamed
receives an unsolicited bona fide written proposal
to acquire Inamed, made after the Allergan Merger Agreement is executed, Inamed is
permitted to participate or engage in discussions or
negotiations with, and provide information to, the party making
the proposal to acquire Inamed as long as:
|
|
|
|
|
Inameds board of directors
determines in good faith, after consulting with an independent
financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such proposal
constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior
proposal as compared to the transaction with Allergan; and
|
|
|
|
prior to providing any such
information, the person making the proposal to acquire Inamed
enters into a confidentiality agreement containing terms at
least as restrictive as the terms of the confidentiality
agreement between Allergan and Inamed and, contemporaneously
with furnishing any nonpublic information to such person, Inamed
furnishes any such nonpublic information to Allergan.
|
Prior to providing any information to, or participating in
discussions or negotiations with, any person making the proposal
to acquire Inamed, Inamed must provide written notice to
Allergan and otherwise comply with the notice and information
delivery requirements described above.
A superior proposal for purposes of the Allergan
Merger Agreement is an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made
by a potential acquirer to acquire, directly or indirectly,
pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger,
consolidation or other business combination, all or
substantially all of the assets of Inamed, or a majority of the
total outstanding voting securities of Inamed and as a result of
which the stockholders of Inamed immediately preceding the
transaction would hold less than 50% of the equity interests in
the surviving or resulting entity or its parent or subsidiary,
on terms that are more favorable to Inameds stockholders
than the terms of the Offer and the Inamed Merger, taking into
account, among other matters, all legal, financial, regulatory
and other aspects of such offer and the person making the
proposal.
Upon delivering notice to Allergan of Inameds receipt of a
superior proposal, and if requested by Allergan, Inamed must
negotiate in good faith with Allergan to revise the terms of the
Allergan Merger Agreement to be superior to those in the
purportedly superior proposal to acquire Inamed.
Changes of Recommendation
The Allergan Merger Agreement contemplates that the Inamed board
of directors will continue to recommend that Inamed stockholders tender
their Inamed Shares pursuant to the Offer and adopt and approve
the Allergan Merger Agreement.
The Inamed board of directors or any committee thereof may not:
|
|
|
|
|
withdraw or modify, or publicly
propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Allergan,
the recommendation with respect to the Offer and the adoption
and approval of the Allergan Merger Agreement;
|
|
|
|
approve any letter of intent,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar
agreement relating to any proposal to acquire Inamed; or
|
|
|
|
approve or recommend, or publicly
propose to approve or recommend, any proposal to acquire Inamed.
|
6
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Inamed board of directors may
take such actions if, prior to receipt of the approval of
stockholders necessary to complete the Inamed Merger:
|
|
|
|
|
Inameds board of directors determines
in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel,
that the failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation would
reasonably be likely to constitute a violation of its fiduciary
duties under applicable law;
|
|
|
|
Inameds board of directors notifies Allergan in
writing of its determination that the failure to withdraw or
modify its recommendation would reasonably be likely to
constitute a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable
law; and
|
|
|
|
in the case of any actions taken
in connection with a proposal to acquire Inamed, at least five
business days following receipt by Allergan of the written
notice of the determination of Inameds board of directors
that the failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation would
reasonably be likely to constitute a violation of the
directors fiduciary duties under applicable law, and
taking into account any revised proposal made by Allergan after
receiving the notice, Inameds board of directors maintains
such determination.
|
Conduct of Business Before Completion of the Merger
|
|
|
Restrictions on Allergans Operations |
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for certain restrictions
on Allergans activities until either the completion of the
Inamed Merger or the termination of the Allergan Merger
Agreement. In general, Allergan is required to conduct its
business only in the ordinary course consistent with past
practice, and is subject to certain additional specific limitations
on its actions and conduct prior to the Inamed Merger.
|
|
|
Restrictions on Inameds Operations |
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides for certain restrictions
on the activities of Inamed and its subsidiaries until either
the completion of the Inamed Merger or the termination of the
Allergan Merger Agreement. In general, under the Allergan Merger
Agreement, Inamed and its subsidiaries must:
|
|
|
|
|
conduct its business only in the
ordinary course consistent with past practice;
|
|
|
|
use its commercially reasonable
efforts to preserve intact its current business organization and
goodwill and keep available the services of its current
officers, key employees and key independent contractors; and
|
|
|
|
use its commercially reasonable
efforts to preserve its goodwill and business relationships with
its customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees and
other persons with which it has business relationships.
|
In addition, the Allergan Merger Agreement provides for a number of
additional restrictions on Inameds actions and conduct prior to the Inamed
Merger.
Antitrust Approval
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan and Inamed are to
cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to:
|
|
|
|
|
obtain any government clearances
or approvals required for the consummation of the Offer or the
closing of the Inamed Merger under the HSR Act, and any other
federal, state or foreign law or decree designed to prohibit,
restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of
monopolization or restraint of trade, which we refer to herein
collectively as the antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to obtain the expiration of any
applicable waiting period under any antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to respond to any government
requests for information under any antitrust laws;
|
|
|
|
to contest and resist any action,
and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree,
judgment, injunction or other order that restricts, prevents or
prohibits the consummation of the Inamed Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the
Allergan Merger Agreement under any antitrust laws.
|
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
each outstanding option under the Inamed stock plans will become
fully vested and exercisable. At the effective time of the
Inamed Merger and without any action on the part of the parties
to the Allergan Merger Agreement or any holder of such stock
options, each then outstanding option will be canceled and
converted into and will thereafter represent only the right to
receive an amount of cash equal to 45% of the in the
money value of the option and a number of shares of
Allergan common stock with a value equal to 55% of the in
the money value of the option (with cash paid instead of any
fractional shares).
7
All outstanding rights that Inamed may hold immediately prior to
the effective time of the Inamed Merger to acquire unvested
Inamed Shares issued pursuant to the Inamed restricted stock
plan will lapse as of the effective time of the Inamed Merger,
such that holders of restricted stock will be entitled to
receive the merger consideration payable pursuant to the Inamed
Merger with respect to their restricted Inamed Shares.
Directors and Officers Indemnification
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and will cause Offeror to,
honor all of Inameds obligations to indemnify its current
or former directors or officers for acts or omissions by such
directors and officers occurring prior to the effective time of
the Inamed Merger. In addition, for a period of six years
following the effective time of the Inamed Merger, Allergan must
provide directors and officers insurance coverage and the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Offeror must contain provisions no less
favorable with respect to indemnification and exculpation of
present and former directors and officers of Inamed than are
presently set forth in Inameds and its subsidiaries
certificates of incorporation and bylaws.
Termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement
|
|
|
Termination by Allergan or Inamed |
The Allergan Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time
before the effective time of the Inamed Merger:
|
|
|
|
|
by mutual written consent of
Allergan and Inamed;
|
|
|
|
by either Allergan or Inamed, if:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not completed by
February 28, 2006, subject to extension until
March 30, 2006 by either party if all other conditions to
the Offer are satisfied or capable of being satisfied and the
only reason the Offer has not been completed is that required
antitrust approvals have not been obtained and Allergan or
Inamed are still attempting to obtain such necessary consents or
approvals or are contesting either the refusal of applicable
governmental entities to give such required consents or
approvals or the entry of a judgment, injunction, order or
decree regarding the same. This termination right is not available to any party whose breach of any provision of the
Allergan Merger Agreement has caused or resulted in the failure
of the Offer to be consummated by such termination date; or
|
|
|
|
if any governmental entity shall
have issued a final order, decree or ruling or taken any other
final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
consummation of the Offer or the Inamed Merger and such order,
decree, ruling or other action is or has become final and
nonappealable. This termination right is not available to
any party whose breach of any provision of the Allergan Merger
Agreement is the cause of or resulted in such order, decree,
ruling or other action.
|
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan may terminate the
Allergan Merger Agreement if:
|
|
|
|
|
there has been a breach by Inamed
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement that would result in
a failure of a condition to the Offer that is not waived by
Offeror; provided, that Allergan must first give Inamed prior
written notice of Allergans intent to terminate the
Allergan Merger Agreement and Inamed must not have cured the
applicable breach within ten business days or, if sooner, by one
business day prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
(i) Inameds board of
directors effects a Company Change of Recommendation (as
defined in the Allergan Merger Agreement) or resolves to do so;
(ii) Inameds board of directors approves or
recommends to Inameds stockholders another proposal to
acquire Inamed or resolves to do so; or (iii) a tender
offer or exchange offer for Inamed Shares is commenced (other than by Allergan or
any of its affiliates) and Inameds board of directors
recommends that Inameds stockholders tender their shares
in such tender offer or exchange offer or Inameds board of directors fails
to recommend that Inameds stockholders reject such tender
offer or exchange offer within seven business days after receipt of
Allergans request to do so.
|
8
Inamed may terminate the Allergan Merger Agreement if:
|
|
|
|
|
Allergan fails to consummate the
Offer in breach of the Allergan Merger Agreement or if there has
been a breach by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its
representations and warranties, except where the failure of such
representations and warranties to be true and correct (without
giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or Parent
Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent Material
Adverse Effect (as defined in the Allergan Merger Agreement), or (y) its covenants and agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material
respect, provided, that Inamed must first give Allergan prior
written notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan
Merger Agreement and Allergan must not have cured the applicable
breach within ten business days or, if sooner, by one business
day prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
prior to consummation of the Offer, upon or following a Company
Change in Recommendation or otherwise in order to enter into a
definitive agreement with respect to or otherwise to accept a
superior proposal, in either case as permitted by the Allergan
Merger Agreement and subject to the timely payment in full of
any termination fees payable by Inamed pursuant to the Allergan
Merger Agreement. |
Termination Fees and Expenses
Except as set forth below, all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Allergan Merger Agreement will be paid by
the party incurring the same.
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Inamed will pay
Allergan $10 million within two business days following
termination if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Allergan due to Inameds breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement which would result in a failure
of a condition to the Offer that is not waived by Offeror;
provided that Allergan has given Inamed prior written notice of
Allergans intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and Inamed has not cured the applicable breach within
ten business days or, if sooner, by one business day prior to
the termination date.
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Inamed will pay
Allergan a termination fee of $100 million, less any amount
previously paid as specified above, at the earlier of the date
that Inamed enters into a definitive agreement providing for an
acquisition of Inamed or the date of the consummation of such a
transaction if:
|
|
|
|
|
prior to consummation of the
Offer, any person publicly announces a proposal to acquire
Inamed which has not been expressly and bona fide publicly
withdrawn;
|
|
|
|
the Allergan Merger Agreement is
terminated by either Inamed or Allergan (i) because the
Offer has not been consummated on or before February 28,
2006 (or March 30, 2006 if extended) and at the time of
termination, the registration statement has become effective and
Inamed has not performed in all material respects all of its
obligations required to be performed by it pursuant to the
Allergan Merger Agreement at or prior to the completion of the
Offer or there shall not have been validly tendered prior to the
expiration date of the Offer at least a majority of the
outstanding Inamed Shares on a fully diluted basis or
(ii) by Allergan as a result of a breach by Inamed of a
covenant or other affirmative obligation that would result in the
failure of a condition to the Offer; and
|
|
|
|
within 12 months after the
date of termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement, Inamed
enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an
acquisition of Inamed or consummates such a transaction.
|
The Allergan Merger Agreement further provides that Inamed will
pay Allergan a termination fee of $100 million within two
business days following termination of the Allergan Merger
Agreement if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Allergan because:
|
|
|
|
|
the Inamed board of directors
effects a Company Change of Recommendation (as defined in the
Allergan Merger Agreement), or resolves to do so;
|
|
|
|
the Inamed board of directors
approves or recommends to Inamed stockholders a proposal to
acquire Inamed, or resolves to do so; or
|
|
|
|
a tender or exchange offer for Inamed Shares
is commenced (other than by Allergan or any of its affiliates)
and the Inamed board of directors recommends that the Inamed
stockholders tender their shares in such tender or exchange offer or fails to recommend that the Inamed stockholders
reject such tender or exchange offer within seven business days after
receipt of Allergans request to do so.
|
Inamed will also pay Allergan a termination fee of
$100 million concurrently with the termination of the
Allergan Merger Agreement if the Allergan Merger Agreement is
terminated by Inamed prior to the completion of the Offer, upon
or following a Company Change of Recommendation or otherwise in
order for Inamed to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to or
otherwise to accept a proposal to acquire Inamed.

Allergan Termination
Fees
The Allergan Merger Agreement provides that Allergan will pay
Inamed $10 million within two business days following
termination if the Allergan Merger Agreement is terminated by
Inamed because (i) Allergan fails to consummate the Offer
in breach of the Allergan Merger Agreement, or (ii) there
has been a breach by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its
representations and warranties contained in the Allergan Merger
Agreement, except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any
limitation as to materiality or Parent
Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent Material
Adverse Effect, or (y) its covenants and agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material
respect; provided that Inamed has given Allergan prior written
notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and Allergan has not cured the applicable breach
within ten business days, or, if sooner, by one business day
prior to the termination date.
Under the Allergan Merger Agreement, Allergan will also pay
Inamed a termination fee of $90 million, in addition to any
amount previously paid as specified above, within two business
days following the date of termination if:
|
|
|
|
|
Inamed has been required to pay
Medicis the $90 million termination fee under the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on March 20, 2005 by Inamed, Medicis and Masterpiece
Acquisition Corp. and subsequently terminated on December 13,
2005; and
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not consummated and
Inamed terminates the Allergan Merger Agreement because
(i) Allergan fails to consummate the Offer in breach of the
Allergan Merger Agreement, or (ii) there has been a breach
by Allergan or Offeror of (x) its representations and
warranties, except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any
limitation as to materiality or Parent
Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Parent Material
Adverse Effect, or (y) its covenants and agreements
contained in the Allergan Merger Agreement in any material
respect; provided that Inamed has given Allergan prior written
notice of Inameds intent to terminate the Allergan Merger
Agreement and Allergan has not cured the applicable breach
within ten business days, or, if sooner, by one business day
prior to the termination date; or
|
|
|
|
the Offer is not consummated on or
prior to the termination date and the antitrust conditions in
the Allergan Merger Agreement have not been satisfied (unless
such conditions have not been satisfied because Inamed has been
unable to divest the Reloxin Assets as contemplated in the
Allergan Merger Agreement).
|
Inamed will not be entitled to such Allergan termination fees if Inamed
elects to file suit or otherwise seeks to recover money damages
from Allergan.
Effect of Termination
In the event of termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement
prior to the effective time of the Inamed Merger in accordance
with the terms of the Allergan Merger Agreement, the Allergan
Merger Agreement will become void, and there shall be no
liability or further obligation on the part of Allergan,
Offeror, or Inamed, except to the extent that the termination
results from the willful and material breach by a party of the
Allergan Merger Agreement, and other than the payment of fees
and expenses described above under Termination Fees
and Expenses, certain provisions relating to
confidentiality, and certain general provisions which will
survive the termination.
Tax Treatment
Allergan and Inamed intend the Inamed Merger, taken together
with the Offer and the Post-Closing Merger, to qualify for
United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Each of Allergan, Offeror and Inamed shall use its
best efforts to cause the Inamed Merger, taken together with the
Offer and the Post-Closing Merger, to qualify as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Allergan, Offeror,
Company, or their respective subsidiaries shall take, or agree
to take, any action (including any action otherwise permitted by
the Allergan Merger Agreement) that could prevent or impede
the Inamed Merger, taken together with the Offer and the
Post-Closing Merger, from qualifying as a
reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code.
