Company History
Warner Chilcott Limited (the successor company of Actavis, Inc.) and its direct parent, Warner Chilcott plc (Legacy Warner Chilcott), were acquired by Actavis plc, the ultimate parent company, on October 1, 2013, pursuant to the transaction agreement dated May 19, 2013 among Actavis, Inc. (the predecessor of Warner Chilcott Limited), Legacy Warner Chilcott, Actavis plc, Actavis Ireland Holding Limited, Actavis W.C. Holding LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding Inc.) and Actavis W.C. Holding 2 LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding 2 Inc.) (MergerSub) whereby, (i) Actavis plc acquired Legacy Warner Chilcott (the Warner Chilcott Acquisition) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Section 201, and a capital reduction under Sections 72 and 74, of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 where each Legacy Warner Chilcott ordinary share was converted into 0.160 of an Actavis plc ordinary share (the Actavis plc Ordinary Shares), or $5,833.9 million in equity consideration, and (ii) MergerSub merged with and into Actavis, Inc., with Actavis, Inc. as the surviving corporation in the merger (the Actavis Merger and, together with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Warner Chilcott Transactions). Following the consummation of the Warner Chilcott Transactions, Actavis, Inc. and Legacy Warner Chilcott became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Actavis plc. Each of Actavis, Inc.s common shares was converted into one Actavis plc Ordinary Share.
On October 31, 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Actavis Group for a cash payment of 4.2 billion, or approximately $5.5 billion, and contingent consideration of up to 5.5 million newly issued shares of Actavis, Inc. which have since been issued (the Actavis Group Acquisition). Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s Common Stock was traded on the NYSE under the symbol WPI until close of trading on January 23, 2013, at which time Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. changed its corporate name to Actavis, Inc. and changed its ticker symbol to ACT.
Effective October 1, 2013, through a series of related-party transactions, Actavis plc contributed its indirect subsidiaries, including Actavis Inc. to Warner Chilcott Limited, which is not a publicly traded entity. References throughout to we, our, us, the Company, Actavis or Warner Chilcott refer to financial information and transactions of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. prior to January 23, 2013, Actavis, Inc. from January 23, 2013 until October 1, 2013 and Warner Chilcott Limited and its subsidiaries subsequent to October 1, 2013.
On February 17, 2014, Actavis plc entered into a merger agreement with Forest Laboratories, Inc. (now known as Forest Laboratories, LLC) (Forest). Forest was a leading, fully integrated, specialty pharmaceutical company largely focused on the United States market. Forest markets a portfolio of branded drug products and develops new medicines to treat patients suffering from diseases principally in the following therapeutic areas: central nervous system, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, anti-infective, and cystic fibrosis. Refer to NOTE 3Acquisition and Other Agreements in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) in this prospectus for a description of the merger agreement.
Business Overview
The Company is an integrated global specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of generic, branded generic, brand name (brand, specialty brand or branded), biosimilar and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical products. We also develop and

Actavis markets a broad portfolio of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and develops innovative medicines for patients suffering from diseases principally in the central nervous system, gastroenterology, womens health, urology, cardiovascular, respiratory and anti-infective therapeutic categories. The Company operates manufacturing, distribution, research and development (R&D) and administrative facilities in many of the worlds established and growing international markets, including the United States of America (U.S.), Canada and Puerto Rico (together North America), and its key international markets around the world (International).
Business Segments
We reported our business in two operating segments: Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution. The Actavis Pharma segment includes patent-protected products and certain trademarked off-patent products that Actavis sells and markets as brand pharmaceutical products and off-patent pharmaceutical products that are therapeutically equivalent to proprietary products. The Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by Actavis, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Actavis Pharma segment.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2014, as a result of the acquisition of Forest on July 1, 2014 (the Forest Acquisition), Actavis realigned its organizational structure. Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014, the Company will be operated and managed as three distinct operating segments: North American Brands, North American Generics and International and Anda Distribution.
Recent Developments

(WC Holding), a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Durata Merger Agreement) with Delaware Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WC Holding (WC Merger Sub), and Durata Therapeutics, Inc. (Durata), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things, WC Merger Sub is obligated to commence a tender offer (the Durata Offer) on or before October 21, 2014 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Durata at a purchase price of $23.00 per share net to the seller in cash, without interest, plus one contractual contingent value right per share, which represents the right to receive contingent payments of up to $5.00 in cash in the aggregate, without interest, if specified milestones are achieved. The obligation of WC Merger Sub to purchase the shares of common stock of Durata validly tendered pursuant to the Durata Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Durata Merger Agreement, including (i) that there shall have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn a number of shares of common stock of Durata that, when added to the shares then owned by WC Holding and its subsidiaries, represents one share more than half of the total number of shares of common stock of Durata outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Durata Offer, (ii) the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with covenants contained in the Durata Merger Agreement, (iv) the absence of any law, order, injunction or decree by any government, court or governmental entity that would make illegal or otherwise prohibit the Durata Offer or the merger of WC Merger Sub and Durata (the Durata Merger), (v) there not having been a material adverse effect with respect to Durata, and (vi) other customary conditions. The obligations of WC Holding and WC Merger Sub to complete the Durata Offer and the Durata Merger under the Durata Merger Agreement are not subject to a financing condition. The tender offer for the outstanding common stock of Durata referred to herein has not yet commenced. The description contained herein is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The solicitation and the offer to buy shares of Durata common stock will be made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that Actavis plc intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The terms of the new notes are substantially identical to the applicable old notes, except that certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and liquidated damages provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the registered new notes. |
The Exchange Offer |
We are offering to issue registered new notes in exchange for like principal amount and like denomination of our old notes. We are offering to issue these registered new notes to satisfy our obligations under a registration rights agreement that we entered into with the initial purchasers of the old notes when we sold them in a transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. You may tender your old notes for exchange by following the procedures described under the heading The Exchange Offer. |
Tenders; Expiration Date; Withdrawal |
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 12, 2014, unless we extend it. The exchange offer will be open for at least twenty (20) business days to ensure compliance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). If you decide to exchange your old notes for new notes, you must acknowledge, among other things, that you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business, that you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes and that you are not an affiliate of our Company. You may withdraw any notes that you tender for exchange at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. If we decide for any reason not to accept any old notes you have tendered for exchange, those notes will be returned to you without cost promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. See The Exchange OfferTerms of the Exchange Offer and The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights for a more complete description of the tender and withdrawal provisions. |
Conditions to the Exchange Offer |
The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer if any of these conditions occur prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. These conditions include any change in applicable law or legal interpretation or governmental or regulatory actions that would impair our ability to |
4
proceed with the exchange offer, any general suspension or general limitation relating to trading of securities on any national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market or a declaration of war or other hostilities involving the United States. We may waive any of these conditions in our sole discretion. |
Procedures for Tendering Old Notes |
The exchange offer will be conducted without the use of a letter of transmittal or notice of guaranteed delivery. If you wish to tender your old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer you must: |
| if you hold the private notes through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, comply with the ATOP procedures of DTC, and the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the private notes into its account at DTC pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described herein, along with a properly transmitted agents message, before the expiration date; or |
| if you hold private notes through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or Euroclear, or Clearstream Banking, S.A., or Clearstream, comply with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, before the expiration date. |
Penalty Interest |
If we fail to fulfill certain obligations under the registration rights agreement, including if we fail to consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to March 26, 2015, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to March 26, 2015, or the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to a series of notes is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales or exchanges during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement (a registration default), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25% during the first 90-day period during which the registration default continues, and will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% over the interest rate that would otherwise apply to the old notes. As soon as we cure a registration default, the interest rates on the notes will revert to their original levels. |
Tax Consequences |
The exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for United States federal income tax purposes. See Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations and Certain Luxembourg Tax Considerations. |
Use of Proceeds |
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new notes in the exchange offer as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange old notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled and as such will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. We will pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer. See Use of Proceeds for a discussion of the use of proceeds from the issuance of the old notes. |
5
Exchange Agent |
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee under the indenture for the old notes, will serve as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. |
Consequences of Failure to Exchange |
Old notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer that are described in the legend on those notes. In general, you may offer or sell your old notes only if they are registered under, or offered or sold under an exemption from, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We, however, will have no further obligation to register the old notes. If you do not participate in the exchange offer, the liquidity of your notes could be adversely affected. |
Consequences of Exchanging Your Old Notes |
Based on interpretations of the SEC set forth in certain no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes that we issue in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you: |
| acquire the new notes issued in the exchange offer in the ordinary course of your business; |
| are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with anyone to participate, in the distribution of the new notes issued to you in the exchange offer; and |
| are not an affiliate of our Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. |
If any of these conditions are not satisfied and you transfer any new notes issued to you in the exchange offer without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not be responsible for, or indemnify you against, any liability you may incur. |
In connection with the exchange offer, you will be required to acknowledge that you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, the distribution of the new notes. In addition, any broker-dealer that acquires new notes in the exchange offer for its own account in exchange for old notes which it acquired through market-making or other trading activities may be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus when it resells or transfers any new notes. See Plan of Distribution for a description of the prospectus delivery obligations of broker-dealers in the exchange offer. |

| structurally subordinated to all existing and any future liabilities of our future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes; |

8
No subsidiaries of Actavis plc other than Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital S.à r.l. and Actavis, Inc. will guarantee the new notes, and as a result the new notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of Actavis plcs subsidiaries (other than Actavis Funding SCS) that do not guarantee the new notes. |
Form and Denomination of New Notes |
The new notes of each series will be issued in fully registered form only and will initially be represented by one or more global notes which will be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, The Depository Trust Company (DTC). The new notes of each series will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Indirect holders trading their beneficial interests in the global notes through DTC must trade in DTCs same-day funds settlement system and pay in immediately available funds. The new notes may only be withdrawn from DTC in the limited situations described in Description of New NotesBook-Entry SystemCertificated Notes. |
Use of Proceeds |
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new notes in exchange offer as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange old notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled and as such will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. We will pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer. See Use of Proceeds for a discussion of the use of proceeds from the issuance of the old notes. |
Absence of Public Markets for the New Notes |
The new notes of each series are a new issue of securities and there are currently no established trading markets for such new notes. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the new notes on any securities exchange or an automated dealer quotation system. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any markets for the new notes. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in each series of the new notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and any market making with respect to the new notes may be discontinued without notice. |
Further Issues |
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions (except for the issue date, the public offering price, and if applicable, the first interest payment date) as the new 2017 notes, the new 2019 notes, the new 2024 notes or the new 2044 notes, in each case, so that such issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding new 2017 notes, new 2019 notes, new 2024 notes or new 2044 notes, as the case may be. |
Additional Amounts |
All payments made by us under or with respect to the new notes or by any of the guarantors with respect to any guarantee will be made |
9
without withholding or deduction for taxes unless required by law. If we or any guarantor are required by law to withhold or deduct for taxes imposed by any relevant taxing jurisdiction with respect to a payment to the holders of new notes, we or such guarantor, as applicable, will pay the additional amounts necessary so that the net amount received by the holders of new notes after the withholding or deduction is equal to the amount that they would have received in the absence of the withholding or deduction, subject to certain exceptions. See Description of NotesAdditional Amounts. |
Optional Redemption for Tax Reasons |
In the event of certain developments affecting taxation we may redeem the new notes of each series in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving prior notice, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, to the date of redemption.

Risk Factors |
You should carefully consider all information contained in this prospectus and, in particular, should carefully read the sections entitled Risk Factors herein and therein for a discussion of risks relating to an investment in the new notes. |
FAILURE TO EXCHANGE YOUR OLD NOTES
The old notes which you do not tender or we do not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be restricted securities. Therefore, you may only transfer or resell them in a transaction registered under or exempt from the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. We will issue the new notes in exchange for the old notes under the exchange offer only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions described under the caption The Exchange Offer.
Because we anticipate that most holders of the old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the markets, if any, for any old notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any old notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the old notes.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following table sets forth a summary of unaudited pro forma combined financial information to illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the June 10, 2014 issuance of the $3.7 billion aggregate principal amount of notes by Actavis SCS, (ii) the acquisition of Forest by the Company, which was closed on July 1, 2014 (Forest Acquisition), (iii) the acquisition of Aptalis Holdings Inc. (Aptalis) by Forest, which was closed on January 30, 2014 (Aptalis Acquisition), (iv) the acquisition of Legacy Warner Chilcott, which was closed on October 1, 2013 (Warner Chilcott Acquisition) and (v) the related financing to fund each of the Forest Acquisition, the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Aptalis Acquisition on the historical financial position and results of operations of Actavis.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are based upon and derived from the historical unaudited financial statements of Warner Chilcott Limited (which are included in this prospectus) and historical unaudited financial statements of Forest (which are included in this prospectus). The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is based upon and derived from the historical audited financial statements of Warner Chilcott Limited (which are included in this prospectus), historical unaudited financial statements of Warner Chilcott plc (which are included in this prospectus), historical audited financial statements of Forest (which are included in this prospectus), historical unaudited financial statements of Forest (which are included in this prospectus), historical audited financial statements of Aptalis (which are included in this prospectus) and historical unaudited financial statements of Aptalis (which are included in this prospectus).
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 assumes the completion of the transactions occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 assumes the transactions occurred on June 30, 2014, except for the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Aptalis Acquisition and their related financing, which were already reflected in Warner Chilcott Limiteds and Forests historical balance sheets as of June 30, 2014, respectively. The summary unaudited pro forma financial information is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would actually have been achieved had the transactions described above occurred on the dates indicated or which may be achieved in the future.
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions, described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisitions of Forest and Aptalis are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value as of June 30, 2014. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in determining the estimated fair values of in-process research and development (IPR&D), identifiable intangible assets and certain other assets and liabilities. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete each in-process project, projecting the timing of regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available.
This unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Warner Chilcott Limited, Warner Chilcott plc, Forest and Aptalis included in this prospectus.

The following discussion includes risks relating to our parent, Actavis plc. However, because all of Actavis plcs operations are conducted by its subsidiaries, we believe these risks are material to an understanding of us. This discussion also includes risks associated with Forest. Actavis plc acquired Forest on July 1, 2014.
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the risk factors described in this prospectus before you decide to buy the notes. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that event, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the notes and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Forest Acquisition, including the acquisition of Furiex, or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant unexpected difficulties in integrating the businesses. The Forest Acquisition may result in adverse tax consequences to the Actavis group.
We anticipate achieving a variety of synergies in connection with the Forest Acquisition over the next one to three years, including approximately $1 billion of operating and tax synergies. Our anticipated synergies are inherently estimates that are difficult to predict and are necessarily speculative in nature, and we cannot provide assurance that we will achieve expected or actual synergies. Our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction with Forest will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the Actavis and the Forest, including Furiex and Aptalis, businesses. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we have been and will continue to be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, would preclude realization of the full benefits expected by us. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the two businesses in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Forest Acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer relationships and diversion of managements attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:
| the diversion of managements attention to integration matters; |
| difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from combining the business of Actavis with that of Forest, including Furiex and Aptalis; |
| difficulties in the integration of operations and systems; |
| difficulties in the assimilation of employees; |
| difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company; |
| challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers; |
| potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the Forest Acquisition, including possible adverse tax consequences to the Actavis group pursuant to the anti-inversion rules under section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (Section 7874) as a result of the acquisition; and |
| challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel. |
15
Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of managements time and energy, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even if the operations of the businesses of Actavis and Forest are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of the acquisition, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that we expect. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses of Actavis and Forest. All of these factors could cause a reduction to our earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the transaction, and negatively impact the price of the Actavis plc Ordinary Shares. As a result, we cannot assure you that the combination of the Actavis and Forest businesses will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated from the Forest Acquisition.
Actavis has incurred and will continue to incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the Forest Acquisition.
Actavis has incurred substantial expenses in connection with completing the Forest Acquisition, and over a period of time following the completion of the Forest Acquisition, Actavis further expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with coordinating the businesses, operations, policies and procedures of Actavis and Forest. While Actavis has assumed that a certain level of transaction and coordination expenses will be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond Actavis control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these transaction and coordination expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses may exceed the costs historically borne by Actavis and Forest.
Following the Forest Acquisition, we have significantly less cash on hand than the sum of cash on hand of Actavis and Forest prior to the acquisition. This reduced amount of cash could adversely affect our ability to grow.
We have significantly less cash and cash equivalents on hand than the approximately $7,717.3 million of combined cash and cash equivalents of Actavis and Forest, as of June 30, 2014, which was used, in part, to complete the Forest Acquisition on July 1, 2014. Although our management believes that we will have access to cash sufficient to meet our business objectives and capital needs, the lessened availability of cash and cash equivalents following the consummation of the Forest Acquisition could constrain our ability to grow our business. Our financial position could also make us vulnerable to general economic downturns and industry conditions, and place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have more cash at their disposal. In the event that we do not have adequate capital to maintain or develop our business, additional capital may not be available to us on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all.
Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate.
Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year for a number of reasons. The following events or occurrences, among others, could cause fluctuations in our financial performance from period to period:
| development of new competitive products or generics by others; |
| the timing and receipt of approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities; |
| the failure to obtain, delay in obtaining or restrictions or limitations on approvals from the FDA or other regulatory authorities; |
| difficulties or delays in resolving FDA or other regulatory authority-observed deficiencies at our manufacturing facilities, which could delay our ability to obtain approvals of pending product applications or curtail availability to continue production of existing products; |
| delays or failures in clinical trials that affect our ability to achieve FDA approvals or approvals from other regulatory authorities; |
16
| serious or unexpected health or safety concerns with our products or product candidates; |
| changes in the amount we spend to research and develop, acquire or license new products, technologies or businesses; |
| changes in the amount we spend to promote our products; |
| delays between our expenditures to acquire new products, technologies or businesses and the generation of revenues from those acquired products, technologies or businesses; |
| changes in treatment practices of physicians that currently prescribe our products; |
| changes in coverage and reimbursement policies of health plans and other health insurers, including changes that affect newly developed or newly acquired products; |
| changes in laws and regulations concerning coverage and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products, including changes to Medicare, Medicaid and similar programs; |
| increases in the cost of raw materials used to manufacture our products; |
| realization of assets and settlement of liabilities at amounts equal to estimated fair value as of the acquisition date in connection with any acquisitions or dispositions; |
| manufacturing and supply interruptions, including failure to comply with manufacturing specifications; |
| the effect of economic changes in hurricane, monsoon, earthquake and other natural disaster-affected areas; |
| the impact of third party patents and other intellectual property rights which we may be found to infringe, or may be required to license, and the potential damages or other costs we may be required to pay as a result of a finding that we infringe such intellectual property rights or a decision that we are required to obtain a license to such intellectual property rights; |
| changes in antitrust laws and regulations concerning settlement of patent and other intellectual property disputes, and potential damages or other costs we may be required to pay as a result of such changes; |
| the mix of products that we sell during any time period; |
| lower than expected demand for our products; |
| our responses to price competition; |
| our ability to successfully integrate and commercialize the products, technologies and businesses we acquire or license, as applicable; |
| expenditures as a result of legal actions; |
| market acceptance of our products; |
| the impairment and write-down of goodwill or other intangible assets or investments or long-lived assets; |
| disposition of our primary products, technologies and other rights; |
| termination or expiration of, or the outcome of disputes relating to, trademarks, patents, license agreements and other rights; |
| changes in insurance rates for existing products and the cost and availability of insurance for new and existing products; |
| general economic and industry conditions, including changes in interest rates affecting returns on cash balances and investments that affect customer demand; |
17
| costs and outcomes of any tax audits; |
| fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; |
| costs and outcomes of any litigation involving intellectual property, product promotional activities, drug pricing or reimbursement, product liability, customers or other issues; |
| timing of revenue recognition related to licensing agreements and/or strategic collaborations; |
| our ability to successfully integrate newly acquired businesses; and |
| risks related to the growth of our business across numerous countries world-wide and the inherent international economic, regulatory, political and business risks. |
As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and these comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The above factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our substantial debt and other financial obligations could impair our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our debt obligations. Any refinancing of this substantial debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.
Our substantial indebtedness and other financial obligations could:
| impair our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes; |
| have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with financial and affirmative and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements and an event of default occurs as a result of a failure that is not cured or waived; |
| require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow for interest payments on our indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditures; |
| limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and |
| place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionally less debt. |
Additionally, certain of our financing agreements may contain cross-default or other similar provisions whereby a default under one financing agreement could result in a default under our other financing agreements.
If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness and other financial transactions, seek additional equity capital or sell our assets. We might then be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, and/or incur significant transaction fees. See Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCredit Facility Indebtedness and Liquidity and Capital ResourcesSenior Note Indebtedness for a detailed discussion of our outstanding indebtedness.
If we do not successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into our business operations, our business could be adversely affected.
We will need to successfully integrate the operations of newly acquired businesses, including Forest, Furiex and Aptalis, with our business operations. Integrating the operations of new businesses with that of our own is a
18
complex and time-consuming process. Prior to each acquisition, the acquired business operated independently, with its own business, corporate culture, locations, employees and systems. There may be substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in any integration of other businesses with that of our own. These may include:
| distracting management from day-to-day operations; |
| potential incompatibility of corporate cultures; |
| an inability to achieve synergies as planned; |
| costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures; and |
| increased difficulties in managing our business due to the addition of international locations. |
These risks may be accentuated if the majority of the former businesses operations, employees and customers are located outside of the United States. Any one or all of these factors may increase operating costs or lower anticipated financial performance. Many of these factors are also outside of our control.
Achieving anticipated synergies and the potential benefits underlying our reasons for any acquisition will depend on successful integration of the businesses. The failure to integrate the business operations of the acquired business successfully would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any acquisitions of technologies, products and businesses could adversely affect our relationships with key customers and/or could result in significant charges to earnings.
We regularly review potential acquisitions of technologies, products and businesses complementary to our business. Acquisitions typically entail many risks and could result in difficulties in integrating operations, personnel, technologies and products. In connection with acquisitions, we could experience disruption in our business, technology and information systems, customer or employee base, including diversion of managements attention from our continuing operations. There is also a risk that key employees of companies that we acquire or key employees necessary to successfully commercialize technologies and products that we acquire may seek employment elsewhere, including with our competitors. Furthermore, there may be overlap between our products or customers and the companies that we acquire that may create conflicts in relationships or other commitments detrimental to the integrated businesses.
In addition, as a result of acquiring businesses or products, or entering into other significant transactions, we may experience significant charges to earnings for merger and related expenses. These costs may include substantial fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, and severance and other closure costs associated with the elimination of duplicate or discontinued products, operations and facilities. Charges that we may incur in connection with acquisitions could adversely affect our results of operations for particular quarterly or annual periods.
We are subject to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security laws, and the failure to comply with such laws may adversely affect our business.
In the United States, many of our products are reimbursed under federal and state health care programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, TriCare, and/or state pharmaceutical assistance programs, and as a result, certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse and patients rights are and will be applicable to our business. We could be subject to healthcare fraud and abuse and patient privacy regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. The laws that may affect our ability to operate include: (i) the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute, which constrains our marketing practices, educational programs, pricing policies and relationships with healthcare providers or other entities, by prohibiting, among other things, soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, or in return for, either the referral of an individual or the purchase or recommendation of an item or service reimbursable
19
under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs; (ii) federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payers that are false or fraudulent; (iii) the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (HIPAA), which among other things created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters; (iv) the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which among other things, requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under a federal healthcare program to report annually information related to payments or other transfers of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals, and ownership and investment interests held by certain healthcare professionals and their immediate family members; (v) HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and its implementing regulations, which imposes certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information and places restrictions on the use of such information for marketing communications; and (vi) state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above U.S. laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payer, including commercial insurers, and state and foreign laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts. Violations of the fraud and abuse laws may result in severe penalties against the responsible employees and Actavis, including jail sentences, large fines, and the exclusion of our products from reimbursement under federal and state programs. We are committed to conducting the sales and marketing of our products in compliance with the healthcare fraud and abuse laws, but certain applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity, a governmental authority may take a position contrary to a position we have taken, or should an employee violate these laws without our knowledge, a governmental authority may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions.
For example, in December 2009, we learned that numerous pharmaceutical companies, including certain of our subsidiaries, have been named as defendants in a federal qui tam action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the defendants falsely reported to the United States that certain pharmaceutical products were eligible for Medicaid reimbursement and thereby allegedly caused false claims for payment to be made through the Medicaid program. A similar action was filed by the State of Louisiana in August 2013 and additional lawsuits are possible. Any adverse outcome in these actions, or the imposition of penalties or sanctions for failing to comply with the fraud and abuse laws, could adversely affect us and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Some of the statutes and regulations that govern our activities, such as federal and state anti-kickback and false claims laws, are broad in scope, and while exemptions and safe harbors protecting certain common activities exist, they are often narrowly drawn. While we manage our business activities to comply with these statutory provisions, due to their breadth, complexity and, in certain cases, uncertainty of application, it is possible that our activities could be subject to challenge by various government agencies. In particular, the FDA, the U.S. Department of Justice and other agencies have increased their enforcement activities with respect to the sales, marketing, research and similar activities of pharmaceutical companies in recent years, and many pharmaceutical companies have been subject to government investigations related to these practices. A determination that we are in violation of these and/or other government regulations and legal requirements may result in civil damages and penalties, criminal fines and prosecution, administrative remedies, the recall of products, the total or partial suspension of manufacture and/or distribution, seizure of products, injunctions, whistleblower lawsuits, failure to obtain approval of pending product applications, withdrawal of existing product approvals, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and other sanctions.
Beginning in February 2012, Legacy Warner Chilcott, along with several then and former employees in its sales organization and certain third parties, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena Legacy Warner Chilcott received sought information and documentation relating to a wide range of matters, including sales and marketing activities, payments to people who are in a
20
position to recommend drugs, medical education, consultancies, prior authorization processes, clinical trials, off-label use and employee training (including with respect to laws and regulations concerning off-label information and physician remuneration), in each case relating to all of our current key products. Forest is also subject to other claims and investigations. We cannot predict or determine the impact of this inquiry on our future financial condition or results of operations. The U.S. Attorneys investigation and any other threatened or actual government enforcement action could also generate adverse publicity and require that we devote substantial resources that could be used productively on other aspects of our business.
Furthermore, in connection with a settlement of certain claims brought by the U.S. government, Forest operates under a Corporate Integrity Agreement (the CIA) with the Office of Inspector General of Health and Human Services that requires Forest to maintain its current compliance program and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations until September 2015. The CIA also provides for an independent third-party review organization to assess and report on Forests compliance program. While we expect to fully and timely comply with all of our assumed obligations under the CIA, the failure to do so could result in substantial penalties and being excluded from government healthcare programs.
Any of these types of investigations or enforcement actions could affect our ability to commercially distribute our products and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products, our operating results will suffer.
Our future results of operations depend to a significant extent upon our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new brand and generic products in a timely manner. There are numerous difficulties in developing and commercializing new products, including:
| developing, testing and manufacturing products in compliance with regulatory standards in a timely manner; |
| receiving requisite regulatory approvals for such products in a timely manner, or at all; |
| the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including API and other key ingredients; |
| developing and commercializing a new product is time consuming, costly and subject to numerous factors, including legal actions brought by our competitors, that may delay or prevent the development and commercialization of new products; |
| experiencing delays as a result of limited resources at the FDA or other regulatory agencies; |
| changing review and approval policies and standards at the FDA and other regulatory agencies; and |
| commercializing generic products may be substantially delayed by the listing with the FDA of patents that have the effect of potentially delaying approval of a generic product by up to 30 months. |
As a result of these and other difficulties, products currently in development by us may or may not receive timely regulatory approvals, or approvals at all, necessary for marketing by us or other third-party partners. This risk particularly exists with respect to the development of proprietary products because of the uncertainties, higher costs and lengthy time frames associated with R&D of such products and the inherent unproven market acceptance of such products. Additionally, we face heightened risks in connection with our development of extended release or controlled release generic products because of the technical difficulties and regulatory requirements related to such products. Additionally, with respect to generic products for which we are the first applicant to request approval on the basis that an innovator patent is invalid or not infringed (a paragraph IV filing), our ability to obtain 180 days of generic market exclusivity may be contingent on our ability to obtain
21
FDA approval or tentative approval within 30 months of the FDAs acceptance of our application for filing. We therefore risk forfeiting such market exclusivity if we are unable to obtain such approval or tentative approval on a timely basis. If any of our products or the products of our third-party partners are not approved timely or, when acquired or developed and approved, cannot be successfully manufactured or commercialized timely, our operating results could be adversely affected. We cannot guarantee that any investment we make in developing products will be recouped, even if we are successful in commercializing those products.
If generic products that compete with any of our branded pharmaceutical products are approved and sold, sales of our products will be adversely affected.
As a result of our acquisitions of Forest and Legacy Warner Chilcott, specialty branded products now comprise a larger percentage of our total revenues. Generic equivalents for branded pharmaceutical products are typically sold at lower costs than the branded products. After the introduction of a competing generic product, a significant percentage of the prescriptions previously written for the branded product are often written for the generic version. In addition, legislation enacted in most U.S. states and Canadian provinces allows or, in some instances mandates, that a pharmacist dispense an available generic equivalent when filling a prescription for a branded product, in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician. As a result, branded products typically experience a significant loss in revenues following the introduction of a competing generic product. Our branded pharmaceutical products are or may become subject to competition from generic equivalents because there is no proprietary protection for some of the branded pharmaceutical products we sell, because our patent protection expires or because our patent protection is not sufficiently broad or enforceable. In addition, we may not be successful in our efforts to extend the proprietary protection afforded our branded products through the development and commercialization of proprietary product improvements and new and enhanced dosage forms.
Our Actonel® products no longer have patent protection in Canada or the Western European countries in which we sell these products, and Asacol® is not protected by a patent in the United Kingdom. Our Actonel® once-a-month product lost U.S. patent protection in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and generic versions of our Loestrin® 24 Fe product entered the market in January 2014 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. In addition, other products such as Estrace® Cream, Asacol® 400 mg and Femhrt® are not protected by patents in the United States where we sell these products. Generic equivalents are currently available in Canada and Western Europe for Actonel® and in the United States for certain versions of our Doryx® and Femhrt® products, Femcon® Fe and certain other less significant products.
During the next few years, additional products of ours will lose patent protection or likely become subject to generic competition. Generic versions of our Asacol® HD 800 mg product may enter the market as early as November 2015 pursuant to an agreement previously entered into and generic versions of our Enablex® product may enter the market as early as March 2016 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. Some of our products may also become subject to generic competition prior to the expiration of patent protection in the event a generic competitor elects to launch its generic equivalent product at-risk. Competition from generic equivalents could result in a material impairment of our intangible assets or the acceleration of amortization on our non-impaired intangible assets and may have a material adverse impact on our revenues, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our branded pharmaceutical expenditures may not result in commercially successful products.
Developing and commercializing branded pharmaceutical products is generally more costly than generic products. In the future, and particularly following the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition, we anticipate continuing and increasing our product development expenditures for our Actavis Specialty Brands business segment, including products acquired from Warner Chilcott and Forest. In order to grow and achieve success in our business, we must continually identify, develop, acquire and license new products that we can
22
ultimately market. There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in pharmaceutical research and development, and there is a high rate of failure inherent in new drug discovery and development. Failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after substantial investment. New product candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited commercial success because of efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and payer reimbursement, limited scope of approved uses, difficulty or excessive costs to manufacture, or infringement of the patents or intellectual property rights of others. Delays and uncertainties in the FDA approval process and the approval processes in other countries can result in delays in product launches and lost market opportunity.
We currently have products in various stages of development. For example in 2013, we initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial for our EsmyaTM product for treatment of uterine fibroids. We also have new hormonal contraceptive therapy products in various stages of development from preclinical development to Phase 3 development, as well as osteoporosis products in preclinical and clinical development and dermatology and infectious disease products in various stages of clinical development, among others. Such clinical trials are costly and may not result in successful outcomes. The results of preclinical studies and early clinical studies may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical studies. Product candidates that have shown promising results in early-stage clinical studies may still suffer significant setbacks in subsequent clinical studies. There is a high rate of failure for products proceeding through clinical studies, and product candidates in later stages of clinical studies may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical studies. Clinical studies may not proceed as planned or be completed on schedule, if at all. The rate of completion of clinical trials is significantly dependent upon a number of factors, including the rate of patient enrollment. We may not be able to attract a sufficient number of sites or enroll a sufficient number of patients in a timely manner in order to complete clinical trials. Moreover, nonclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and our data may not provide adequate efficacy and safety information to obtain regulatory approval of our candidates. We cannot be sure that our business expenditures, including but not limited to our expenditures related to our EsmyaTM product, JNJ-Q2 product, products acquired in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition or products of our third-party partners, among others, will result in the successful discovery, development or launch of brand products that will prove to be commercially successful or will improve the long-term profitability of our business. If such business expenditures do not result in successful discovery, development or launch of commercially successful brand products our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our investments in biosimilar products may not result in products that are approved by the FDA or other ex-U.S. regulatory authorities and, even if approved by such authorities, may not result in commercially successful products.
In 2011, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Amgen Inc. (Amgen) to develop and commercialize, on a worldwide basis, biosimilar versions of Herceptin®, Avastin®, Rituxan/Mab Thera®, and Erbitux® (the Amgen Collaboration Agreement). Under the agreement, we will be required to invest up to $282.2 million (as of June 30, 2014) in furtherance of the development and regulatory approval of such products. Although Amgen, our development partner, has substantial expertise and experience in the development of biological products, significant uncertainty remains concerning the regulatory pathway in the United States and in other countries to obtain regulatory approval of biosimilar products, and the commercial pathway to successfully market and sell such products. In the United States, an abbreviated pathway for approval of biosimilar products was established by the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, or BPCIA, enacted on March 23, 2010, as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The BPCIA established this abbreviated pathway under section 351(k) of the Public Health Services Act, or PHSA. Subsequent to the enactment of the BPCIA, the FDA issued draft guidance regarding the demonstration of biosimilarity as well as the submission and review of biosimilar applications. However, there have been no biosimilar products approved under the 251(k) pathway to date.
23
The BPCIA prohibits the FDA from accepting an application for a biosimilar candidate to a reference product within four years of the reference products licensure by the FDA. In addition, the BPCIA provides innovative biologics with twelve years of exclusivity from the data of their licensure, during which time the FDA cannot approve any application for a biosimilar candidate to the reference product. Additionally, biosimilar products will likely be subject to extensive patent clearances and/or patent infringement litigation, which could delay or prevent the commercial launch of a product for many years. Further, our collaboration with Amgen may not result in products that meet the requirements established by the FDA or other ex-U.S. regulatory authorities. If our collaboration does result in biosimilar products that obtain FDA or other ex-U.S. regulatory authority approval, such product(s) may not be commercially successful and/or may not generate profits in amounts that are sufficient to offset the amount invested to obtain such approvals. Market success of biosimilar products will depend on demonstrating to patients, physicians and payors that such products are safe and efficacious compared to other existing products yet offer a more competitive price or other benefit over existing therapies. If our collaboration with Amgen does not result in the development and timely approval of biosimilar products or if such products, once developed and approved, are not commercially successful, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
If we are unsuccessful in our joint ventures and other collaborations, our operating results could suffer.
We have made substantial investments in joint ventures and other collaborations, including our collaboration agreements with Amgen and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi), and may use these and other methods to develop or commercialize products in the future. These arrangements typically involve other pharmaceutical companies as partners that may be competitors of ours in certain markets. In many instances, we will not control these joint ventures or collaborations or the commercial exploitation of the licensed products, and cannot assure you that these ventures will be profitable. Any such marketing restrictions could affect future revenues and have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our results of operations may suffer if existing joint venture or collaboration partners withdraw, or if these products are not timely developed, approved or successfully commercialized and we cannot guarantee the successful outcome of such efforts, nor that they will result in any intellectual property rights or products that inure to our benefit.
If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our patents, our business could suffer.
Our success with the brand products that we develop will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for these products. We currently have a number of U.S. and foreign patents issued and pending. However, issuance of a patent is not conclusive evidence of its validity or enforceability. We cannot be sure that we will receive patents for any of our pending patent applications or any patent applications we may file in the future, or that our issued patents will be upheld if challenged. If our current and future patent applications are not approved or, if approved, our patents are not upheld in a court of law if challenged, it may reduce our ability to competitively utilize our patented products. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, in which case our ability to commercially market these products may be diminished. For example, patents covering our Androderm® and INFed® products and our Carafate® product, which we acquired in the Forest Acquisition, have expired and we have no further patent protection on these products. Therefore, it is possible that a competitor may launch a generic version of Androderm® and/or INFed® at any time, which would result in a significant decline in that products revenue and profit.
During the next five years, additional products acquired pursuant to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition will lose patent protection or likely become subject to generic competition. For example, our Asacol® 400 mg product lost U.S. patent protection in July 2013, our Actonel® once-a-week product lost U.S. patent protection in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity), generic versions of our Loestrin® 24 Fe product entered the market in January 2014 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into; generic versions of our Asacol® HD 800 mg product may enter the market as early as November 2015 pursuant to an agreement previously entered into; our newly acquired Namenda product will
24
lose U.S. patent protection in 2015; and generic versions of our Enablex® product may enter the market as early as March 2016 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. Some of our products may also become subject to generic competition prior to the expiration of patent protection in the event a generic competitor elects to launch its generic equivalent product at-risk. For example, although our Doryx® patent does not expire until 2022, and Legacy Warner Chilcott and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. (Mayne) filed infringement lawsuits against Mylan Inc. (Mylan) and Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax) arising from their Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) filings with respect to our Doryx® 75 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg products, generic versions of such products have been launched following the FDAs approval of their respective ANDAs.
Generic competitors to our branded products may also challenge the validity or enforceability of the patents protecting our products or otherwise seek to circumvent them. For example, Legacy Warner Chilcott received a challenge relating to its Atelvia® (risedronate) 35 mg tablets product. In October 2011 and March 2012, Legacy Warner Chilcott received separate Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Watson Laboratories, Inc.Florida (Watson), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (Teva) and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (Ranbaxy) indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia® 35 mg tablets. Legacy Warner Chilcott brought actions against each of Watson, Teva and Ranbaxy, charging each with infringement. In October 2013, Watson divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals (Amneal). In September 2013, Legacy Warner Chilcott received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Impax indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia®. Legacy Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Impax in October 2013, asserting infringement. The Company has settled with Ranbaxy, Amneal and Impax; however, trial against Teva began on July 14, 2014 and ended on July 18, 2014. Similarly, Forest also recently brought actions against certain manufacturers of generic drugs for infringement of several patents covering our newly acquired Savella®, Namenda® XR and Canasa® products. We believe that ANDAs were filed before the patents covering Canasa® were listed in the Orange Book, which generally means that ANDAs are not subject to the 30-month stay of the approval under the Hatch-Waxman Act. While we intend to vigorously defend these and other patents and pursue our legal rights, we can offer no assurance as to when the pending or any future litigation will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of one or more of our products will not be approved and enter the market. Refer to Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and in NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets or propriety know-how, or enforce our intellectual property rights, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer.
If pharmaceutical companies are successful in limiting the use of generics through their legislative, regulatory and other efforts, our sales of generic products may suffer.
Many pharmaceutical companies increasingly have used state and federal legislative and regulatory means to delay generic competition. These efforts have included:
| making changes to the formulation of the brand product and arguing that potential generic competitors must demonstrate bioequivalency or comparable abuse-resistance to the reformulated brand product; |
| pursuing new patents for existing products which may be granted just before the expiration of earlier patents, which could extend patent protection for additional years or otherwise delay the launch of generics; |
| selling the brand product as an Authorized Generic, either by the brand company directly, through an affiliate or by a marketing partner; |
| using the Citizen Petition process to request amendments to FDA standards or otherwise delay generic drug approvals; |
25
| seeking changes to U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization which publishes industry recognized compendia of drug standards; |
| attempting to use the legislative and regulatory process to have drugs reclassified or rescheduled; |
| using the legislative and regulatory process to set definitions of abuse deteriant formulations to protect brand company patents and profits; |
| attaching patent extension amendments to non-related federal legislation; |
| engaging in state-by-state initiatives to enact legislation that restricts the substitution of some generic drugs, which could have an impact on products that we are developing; |
| entering into agreements with pharmacy benefit management companies which have the effect of blocking the dispensing of generic products; and |
| seeking patents on methods of manufacturing certain API. |
If pharmaceutical companies or other third parties are successful in limiting the use of generic products through these or other means, our sales of generic products may decline. If we experience a material decline in generic product sales, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will suffer.
If competitors are successful in limiting competition for certain generic products through their legislative, regulatory and litigation efforts, our sales of certain generic products may suffer.
Certain of our competitors have challenged our ability to distribute Authorized Generics during the competitors 180-day period of ANDA exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Under the challenged arrangements, we have obtained rights to market and distribute under a brand manufacturers NDA a generic alternative of the brand product. Some of our competitors have challenged the propriety of these arrangements by filing Citizen Petitions with the FDA, initiating lawsuits alleging violation of the antitrust and consumer protection laws, and seeking legislative intervention. For example, legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate that would prohibit the marketing of Authorized Generics during the 180-day period of ANDA exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Act. If distribution of Authorized Generic versions of brand products is otherwise restricted or found unlawful, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
From time to time we may need to rely on licenses to proprietary technologies, which may be difficult or expensive to obtain.
We may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to develop, manufacture and market products. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercially market our products may be inhibited or prevented, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For example, because we license significant intellectual property with respect to certain of our newly acquired products, including Namenda, Namenda XR, Linzess® and Viibryd®, any loss or suspension of our rights to licensed intellectual property could materially adversely affect Forests business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights and may prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products.
The manufacture, use and sale of new products that are the subject of conflicting patent rights have been the subject of substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical industry. These lawsuits relate to the validity and infringement of patents or proprietary rights of third parties. We may have to defend ourselves against charges that we violated patents or proprietary rights of third parties. This is especially true in the case of generic
26
products on which the patent covering the brand product is expiring, an area where infringement litigation is prevalent, and in the case of new brand products where a competitor has obtained patents for similar products. Litigation may be costly and time-consuming, and could divert the attention of our management and technical personnel. In addition, if we infringe the rights of others, we could lose our right to develop, manufacture or market products or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. For example, we are currently engaged in litigation with Ferring B.V. concerning whether our generic version of Lysteda tablets infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,947,739, 8,022,106, 8,273,795, and 8,487,005, and we continue to market our generic version of Lysteda. We are also engaged in litigation with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne concerning whether our manufacture and sale of Namenda XR, which we acquired in the Forest Acquisition, infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000.
Further, in August 2012, Bayer Pharma AG (together with its affiliates, Bayer) filed a complaint against Legacy Warner Chilcott alleging that its manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of Lo Loestrin® Fe infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. 5,980,940. In the complaint, Bayer seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. In December 2012, Bayer amended the complaint to add a claim seeking to invalidate the Companys U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984, which covers the Lo Loestrin® Fe product. Although the parties to patent and intellectual property disputes in the pharmaceutical industry have often settled their disputes through licensing or similar arrangements, the costs associated with these arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing royalties. Refer to Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and in NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Furthermore, we cannot be certain that the necessary licenses would be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could result in substantial monetary damage awards and could prevent us from manufacturing and selling a number of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Certain aspects of our operations are highly dependent upon third-party service providers.
Product deliveries within our Anda Distribution business are highly dependent on overnight delivery services to deliver our products in a timely and reliable manner, typically by overnight service. Our Anda Distribution business ships a substantial portion of products via one couriers air and ground delivery service. If the courier terminates our contract or if we cannot renew the contract on favorable terms or enter into a contract with an equally reliable overnight courier to perform and offer the same service level at similar or more favorable rates, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Our Anda Distribution operations concentrate on generic products and therefore are subject to the risks of the generic industry.
The ability of our Anda Distribution business to provide consistent, sequential quarterly growth is affected, in large part, by our participation in the launch of new products by generic manufacturers and the subsequent advent and extent of competition encountered by these products. This competition can result in significant and rapid declines in pricing with a corresponding decrease in net sales of our Anda Distribution business. Our margins can also be affected by the risks inherent to the generic industry, which is discussed below under Risks Relating to Investing in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Our Anda Distribution operations compete directly with significant customers of our generic and brand businesses.
In our Anda Distribution business, we compete with McKesson Corporation (McKesson), AmerisourceBergen Corporation (AmerisourceBergen) and Cardinal Health, Inc. (Cardinal). These
27
companies are significant customers of our Actavis Pharma and Actavis Specialty Brands operations, including the newly acquired Legacy Warner Chilcott products and collectively accounted for approximately 29%, 30% and 30% of our annual net revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our activities related to our Anda Distribution business, as well as the acquisition of other businesses that compete with our customers, may result in the disruption of our business, which could harm relationships with our current customers, employees or suppliers, and could adversely affect our expenses, pricing, third-party relationships and revenues. Further, a loss of a significant customer of our Actavis Pharma operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
If we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies from key manufacturing sites or suppliers that in some cases may be the only source of finished products or raw materials, our ability to deliver our products to the market may be impeded.
We are required to identify the supplier(s) of all the raw materials for our products in our applications with the FDA and other regulatory agencies. To the extent practicable, we attempt to identify more than one supplier in each drug application. However, some products and raw materials are available only from a single source and, in many of our drug applications, only one supplier of products and raw materials or site of manufacture has been identified, even in instances where multiple sources exist. Some of these products have historically or may in the future account for a significant portion of our revenues, such as our newly acquired product Namenda®, INFed®, metoprolol succinate extended release tablets, methylphenidate hydrochloride extended release tablets, and a significant number of our oral contraceptive and controlled substance products. In addition, certain manufacturing facilities in Ireland are the exclusive qualified manufacturing facilities for finished dosage forms of many of our products, including our newly acquired products, Namenda®, Bystolic® and Savella®. We expect to continue to rely on our third-party manufacturing partners, such as Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for methylphenidate ER, Mayne for Doryx®, Contract Pharmaceuticals Limited Canada (CPL) for Estrace® Cream and Norwich Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NPI) for Actonel® and Atelvia®. GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) currently manufactures our Asacol® 400 mg product sold in the United Kingdom. CPL, which manufactures our Estrace® Cream product, recently closed its manufacturing facility in Buffalo, New York and transferred its operations at that location to its facilities in Mississauga, Canada. Such transfers are subject to regulatory approvals, and the failure to obtain such approvals in a timely manner may delay production at the new facility and result in an interruption in our product supply. From time to time, certain of our manufacturing sites or outside suppliers have experienced regulatory or supply-related difficulties that have inhibited their ability to deliver products and raw materials to us, causing supply delays or interruptions. To the extent any difficulties experienced by our manufacturing sites or suppliers cannot be resolved or extensions of our key supply agreements cannot be negotiated within a reasonable time and on commercially reasonable terms, or if raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier and we are required to qualify a new supplier with the FDA or other regulatory agency, or if we are unable to do so, our profit margins and market share for the affected product could decrease or be eliminated, as well as delay our development and sales and marketing efforts. Such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our manufacturing sites outside of the United States and our arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to certain additional risks, including the availability of government clearances, export duties, political instability, war, acts of terrorism, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. For example, we obtain a significant portion of our raw materials from foreign suppliers. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA and foreign regulatory body regulation, customs clearances, various import duties and other government clearances, as well as potential shipping delays due to inclement weather, political instability, strikes or other matters outside of our control. Acts of governments outside the U.S. may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of our products. In addition, recent changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for R&D prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents.
28
Our policies regarding returns, allowances and chargebacks, and marketing programs adopted by wholesalers, may reduce our revenues in future fiscal periods.
Consistent with industry practice we, like many generic product manufacturers, have liberal return policies and have been willing to give customers post-sale inventory allowances. Under these arrangements, from time to time, we may give our customers credits on our generic products that our customers hold in inventory after we have decreased the market prices of the same generic products. Therefore, if new competitors enter the marketplace and significantly lower the prices of any of their competing products, we may reduce the price of our product. As a result, we may be obligated to provide significant credits to our customers who are then holding inventories of such products, which could reduce sales revenue and gross margin for the period the credit is provided. Like our competitors, we also give credits for chargebacks to wholesale customers that have contracts with us for their sales to hospitals, group purchasing organizations, pharmacies or other retail customers. A chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid to us by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated price that the wholesalers customer pays for that product. Although we establish reserves based on our prior experience and our best estimates of the impact that these policies may have in subsequent periods, we cannot ensure that our reserves are adequate or that actual product returns, allowances and chargebacks will not exceed our estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and the market price of our stock.
Investigations of the calculation of average wholesale prices may adversely affect our business.
Many government and third-party payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, Health Maintenance Organization (HMOs) and Managed Care Organization (MCOs), have historically reimbursed doctors, pharmacies and others for the purchase of certain prescription drugs based on a drugs average wholesale price (AWP) or wholesale acquisition cost (WAC). In the past several years, state and federal government agencies have conducted ongoing investigations of manufacturers reporting practices with respect to AWP and WAC, in which they have suggested that reporting of inflated AWPs or WACs have led to excessive payments for prescription drugs. For example, beginning in July 2002, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as well as numerous other pharmaceutical companies, were named as defendants in various state and federal court actions alleging improper or fraudulent practices related to the reporting of AWP and/or WAC of certain products, and other improper acts, in order to increase prices and market shares. Similarly, Forest is a defendant in four pending state actions alleging that manufacturers reporting of AWP did not correspond to actual provider costs of prescription drugs. Additional actions are possible. These actions, if successful, could adversely affect us and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The design, development, manufacture and sale of our products involves the risk of product liability claims by consumers and other third parties, and insurance against such potential claims is expensive and may be difficult to obtain.
The design, development, manufacture and sale of our products involve an inherent risk of product liability claims and the associated adverse publicity. For example, as of August 1, 2014, Forest was subject to approximately 200 legal actions asserting product liability claims relating to the use of Celexa® or Lexapro. These cases include claims for wrongful death from suicide or injury from suicide attempts while using Celexa® or Lexapro as well as claims that Celexa® or Lexapro caused various birth defects. While we believe there is no merit to these cases, litigation is inherently subject to uncertainties and we may be required to expend substantial amounts in the defense or resolution of certain of these matters. Further, insurance coverage is expensive and may be difficult to obtain, and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. We regularly monitor the use of our products for trends or increases in reports of adverse events or product complaints, and regularly report such matters to the FDA. In some, but not all cases, an increase in adverse event reports may be an indication that there has been a change in a products specifications or efficacy. Such changes could lead to a recall of the product in question or, in some cases, increases in product liability claims related to the product in
29
question. If the coverage limits for product liability insurance policies are not adequate or if certain of our products are excluded from coverage, a claim brought against us, whether covered by insurance or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The loss of our key personnel could cause our business to suffer.
The success of our present and future operations will depend, to a significant extent, upon the experience, abilities and continued services of key personnel. For example, although we have other senior management personnel, a significant loss of the services of Brent Saunders, our Chief Executive Officer, or Paul Bisaro, our Executive Chairman, or other senior executive officers without having or hiring a suitable successor, could cause our business to suffer. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain key personnel. We have entered into employment agreements with many of our senior executive officers but such agreements do not guarantee that our senior executive officers will remain employed by us for a significant period of time, or at all. We do not carry key-employee life insurance on any of our officers.
Significant balances of intangible assets, including product rights and goodwill acquired, are subject to impairment testing and may result in impairment charges, which will adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
A significant amount of our total assets is related to acquired intangibles and goodwill. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying value of our product rights and other intangible assets was approximately $7,528.0 million and the carrying value of our goodwill was approximately $8,181.4 million. We expect a material portion of the purchase price paid in the Forest Acquisition to be allocated to product rights and other intangible assets and goodwill. Refer to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.
Our product rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. We determine original fair value and amortization periods for product rights based on our assessment of various factors impacting estimated useful lives and cash flows of the acquired products. Such factors include the products position in its life cycle, the existence or absence of like products in the market, various other competitive and regulatory issues and contractual terms. Significant adverse changes to any of these factors would require us to perform an impairment test on the affected asset and, if evidence of impairment exists, we would be required to take an impairment charge with respect to the asset. For assets that are not impaired, the Company may adjust the remaining useful lives. Such a charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our other significant intangible assets include acquired core technology and customer relationships, which are intangible assets with definite lives, our Anda trade name and acquired IPR&D intangible products, acquired in recent business acquisitions, which are intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Our acquired core technology and customer relationship intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. We determined the original fair value of our other intangible assets by performing a discounted cash flow analysis, which is based on our assessment of various factors. Such factors include existing operating margins, the number of existing and potential competitors, product pricing patterns, product market share analysis, product approval and launch dates, the effects of competition, customer attrition rates, consolidation within the industry and generic product lifecycle estimates. Our other intangible assets with definite lives are tested for impairment when there are significant changes to any of these factors. If evidence of impairment exists, we would be required to take an impairment charge with respect to the impaired asset. Such a charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Goodwill, our Anda trade name intangible asset and our IPR&D intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or when events occur or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset. Impairment testing compares the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset to its carrying amount. A goodwill, trade name or IPR&D impairment, if any, would be recorded in
30
operating income and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For example, in 2013 the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $647.5 million.
We may need to raise additional funds in the future which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
We may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities in the future to fund potential acquisitions or investments, to refinance existing debt, or for general corporate purposes. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing shareholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing shareholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to pay additional interest expenses and potentially lowering our credit ratings. We may not be able to market such issuances on favorable terms, or at all, in which case, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements.
Our business could suffer as a result of manufacturing difficulties or delays.
The manufacture of certain of our products and product candidates, particularly our controlled-release products, transdermal products, injectable products, and our oral contraceptive products, is more difficult than the manufacture of immediate-release products. Successful manufacturing of these types of products requires precise manufacturing process controls, API that conforms to very tight tolerances for specific characteristics and equipment that operates consistently within narrow performance ranges. Manufacturing complexity, testing requirements, and safety and security processes combine to increase the overall difficulty of manufacturing these products and resolving manufacturing problems that we may encounter.
Our manufacturing and other processes utilize sophisticated equipment, which sometimes require a significant amount of time to obtain and install. Our business could suffer if certain manufacturing or other equipment, or a portion or all of our facilities were to become inoperable for a period of time. This could occur for various reasons, including catastrophic events such as earthquake, monsoon, hurricane or explosion, unexpected equipment failures or delays in obtaining components or replacements thereof, as well as construction delays or defects and other events, both within and outside of our control. Our inability to timely manufacture any of our significant products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our business will continue to expose us to risks of environmental liabilities.
Our product and API development programs, manufacturing processes and distribution logistics involve the controlled use of hazardous materials, chemicals and toxic compounds in our owned and leased facilities. As a result, we are subject to numerous and increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of toxic and hazardous materials and the discharge of pollutants into the air and water. Our programs and processes expose us to risks that an accidental contamination could result in (i) our noncompliance with such environmental laws and regulations and (ii) regulatory enforcement actions or claims for personal injury and property damage against us. If an accident or environmental discharge occurs, or if we discover contamination caused by prior operations, including by prior owners and operators of properties we acquire, we could be liable for cleanup obligations, damages and fines. The substantial unexpected costs we may incur could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. In addition, environmental permits and controls are required for some of our operations, and these permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation by the issuing authorities. Any modification, revocation or non-renewal of our environmental permits could have a material adverse effect on our ongoing operations, business and financial condition. Our environmental capital expenditures and costs for environmental compliance may increase in the future as a result of changes in environmental laws and regulations or increased development or manufacturing activities at any of our facilities.
31
Global economic conditions could harm us.
Recent global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions and recession in most major economies during recent years. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and wide-spread recession, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, and the global real estate markets have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for western and emerging economies. These conditions, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have contributed to volatility of unprecedented levels.
As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide credit to businesses and consumers. These factors have resulted in a decrease in spending by businesses and consumers alike, and a corresponding decrease in global infrastructure spending. Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies and prolonged declines in business consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers, including our ability to refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
Our foreign operations may become less attractive if political and diplomatic relations between the United States and any country where we conduct business operations deteriorates.
The relationship between the United States and the foreign countries where we conduct business operations may weaken over time. Changes in the state of the relations between any such country and the United States are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our future operations. This could lead to a decline in our profitability. Any meaningful deterioration of the political and diplomatic relations between the United States and the relevant country could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our global operations, particularly following the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition (including Furiex and Aptalis), expose us to risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally.
We operate on a global basis with offices or activities in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australia and North America. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export requirements, U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other U.S. federal laws and regulations established by the office of Foreign Asset Control, local laws such as the UK Bribery Act 2010 or other local laws which prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations to customers. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, however, there is a risk that some provisions may be inadvertently breached by us, for example through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees, our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements, or otherwise. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, requirements to obtain export licenses, cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries, implementation of compliance programs, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business and our operating results. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these challenges. These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could
32
materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business and our operating results. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties.
Further, certain of our employees, including employees located in certain jurisdictions in Canada, Europe and Asia, are represented by collective bargaining or other labor agreements or arrangements that provide bargaining or other rights to employees. Such employment rights require us to expend greater time and expense in making changes to employees terms of employment or carrying out staff reductions. In addition, any national or other labor disputes in these regions could result in a work stoppage or strike by our employees that could delay or interrupt our ability to supply products and conduct operations. Due to the nature of these collective bargaining agreements, we will have no control over such work stoppages or strikes by such employees, and a strike may occur even if the employees do not have any grievances against us. Any interruption in manufacturing or operations could interfere with our business and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues.
In addition to the foregoing, engaging in international business inherently involves a number of other difficulties and risks, including:
| longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems; |
| political and economic instability; |
| potentially adverse tax consequences, tariffs, customs charges, bureaucratic requirements and other trade barriers; |
| regulations related to customs and import/export matters (including sanctions); |
| tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws; |
| challenges in collecting accounts receivable from customers in the jurisdictions in which we operate; |
| complying with laws, rules and regulations relating to the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of pharmaceutical products in the jurisdictions in which we do or will operate; |
| operating under regulations in jurisdictions related to obtaining eligibility for government or private payor reimbursement for our products at the wholesale/retail level; |
| Competition from local, regional and international competitors; |
| difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, including cultural and language differences and additional employment regulations, union workforce negotiations and potential disputes in the jurisdictions in which we operate; |
| difficulties protecting or procuring intellectual property rights; and |
| fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. |
These factors or any combination of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We have exposure to tax liabilities.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. Changes in tax laws or tax rulings may have a significantly adverse impact on our effective tax rate. Proposals by the current U.S. administration for fundamental U.S. international tax reform, including without limitation provisions that would limit the ability of U.S. multinationals to deduct interest on related party debt, if enacted, could have a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate.
33
Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We do business and generate sales in numerous countries outside the United States. As such, foreign currency fluctuations may affect the costs that we incur in such international operations. Some of our operating expenses are incurred in non-U.S. dollar currencies. The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies in those countries where we have operations against the U.S. dollar could increase our costs and could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
We have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction, integration and restructuring costs in connection with recent transactions, including the Actavis Group Acquisition and the Warner Chilcott Acquisition.
We have incurred significant transaction costs related to the Actavis Group Acquisition and the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and will continue to incur significant transaction costs related to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. In addition, we will incur integration costs and restructuring costs as we integrate the businesses. Although we expect that the realization of benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses may offset these transaction costs, integration costs and restructuring costs over time, no assurances can be made that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term, or at all. The failure to realize the expected benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Substantial amounts of our information concerning our products, customers, employees and ongoing business are stored digitally and are subject to threats of theft, tampering, or other intrusion.
We collect and maintain information in digital form that is necessary to conduct our business. This digital information includes, but is not limited to, confidential and proprietary information as well as personal information regarding our customers and employees. Data maintained in digital form is subject to the risk of intrusion, tampering, and theft. We have established physical, electronic, and organizational measures to safeguard and secure our systems to prevent a data compromise, and rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for the processing, transmission and storage of digital information. However, the development and maintenance of these systems is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly more sophisticated. Despite our efforts, the possibility of a future data compromise cannot be eliminated entirely, and risks associated with intrusion, tampering, and theft remain. In addition, we provide confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties when it is necessary to pursue our business objectives. While we obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information and, where appropriate, monitor the protections employed by these third parties, there is a risk the confidentiality of data held by third parties may be compromised. If our data systems are compromised, our business operations may be impaired, we may lose profitable opportunities or the value of those opportunities may be diminished, and we may lose revenue as a result of unlicensed use of our intellectual property. If personal information of our customers or employees is misappropriated, our reputation with our customers and employees may be injured resulting in loss of business and/or morale, and we may incur costs to remediate possible injury to our customers and employees or be required to pay fines or take other action with respect to judicial or regulatory actions arising out of such incidents.
A failure of our internal control over financial reporting could materially impact our business or share price.
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. An internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Any failure to maintain an effective
34
system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud, and could expose us to litigation or adversely affect the market price of the Actavis plc Ordinary Shares.
As of December 31, 2013, management concluded that there was a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as it did not design or maintain effective internal controls with respect to segregation of duties and related information technology general controls regarding user access and change management activities. Specifically, the controls were not designed to provide reasonable assurance that incompatible access within the system, including the ability to record transactions, was appropriately segregated, impacting the validity, accuracy and completeness of all key accounts and disclosures. The locations impacted were principally related to the international entities acquired as part of the Actavis Group in 2012. The Company has implemented changes in information technology general controls in order to improve controls over segregation of duties, restricted access to programs and data, and change management activities, and has begun testing their effectiveness in order to address internal control deficiencies. The Company will continue to take measures that may be necessary and advisable so as to institute measures to address the material weakness.
Risks Relating To Investing In the Pharmaceutical Industry
Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
All pharmaceutical companies, including Actavis, are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving government regulation. For the U.S., this is principally administered by the FDA and to a lesser extent by the Drug Enforcement Agency (the DEA) and state government agencies, as well as by varying regulatory agencies in foreign countries where products or product candidates are being manufactured and/or marketed. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations, and similar foreign statutes and regulations, govern or influence the development, testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution and import/export of our products.
Under these statutes and regulations, we are subject to periodic inspection of our facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of our products by the FDA and similar ex-U.S. authorities, the DEA and other authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to confirm that we are in compliance with all applicable requirements. In addition, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies conduct pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes are in compliance with cGMP and other regulations. Following such inspections, the FDA or other agency may issue observations, notices, citations and/or Warning Letters that could cause us to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. FDA guidelines specify that a Warning Letter is issued only for violations of regulatory significance for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in an enforcement action. We are also required to report adverse events associated with our products to the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Unexpected or serious health or safety concerns would result in product liability claims, labeling changes, recalls, market withdrawals or other regulatory actions, including withdrawal of product approvals.
Our manufacturing facility in Corona, California is currently subject to a consent decree of permanent injunction. We cannot assure that the FDA will determine we have adequately corrected deficiencies at our Corona manufacturing site, that subsequent FDA inspections at any of our manufacturing sites will not result in additional inspectional observations at such sites, that approval of any of the pending or subsequently submitted New Drug Applications (NDAs), ANDAs or supplements to such applications by Actavis plc or our subsidiaries will be granted or that the FDA will not seek to impose additional sanctions against Actavis plc or any of its subsidiaries. The range of possible sanctions includes, among others, FDA issuance of adverse publicity, product recalls or seizures, fines, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDAs review of product applications, enforcement actions, injunctions, and civil or criminal prosecution. Any such sanctions, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Similar sanctions as detailed above may be available to the FDA under a
35
consent decree, depending upon the actual terms of such decree. Although we have instituted internal compliance programs, if these programs do not meet regulatory agency standards or if compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could materially harm our business. Certain of our vendors are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections.
In order to market our products in the United States and other jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The process for obtaining governmental approval to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time-consuming, uncertain and costly, and we cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments. We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental or third-party approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and shipping our products. There is always the chance that we will not obtain FDA or other necessary approvals, or that the rate, timing and cost of obtaining such approvals, will adversely affect our product introduction plans or results of operations. Additionally, any regulatory approvals we receive may be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval or may contain requirements for potentially costly additional clinical trials and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the product. We may only market or promote our products for their approved indications, and our labeling, promotional activities and advertising are subject to extensive regulation and oversight. We carry inventories of certain product(s) in anticipation of launch, and if such product(s) are not subsequently launched, we may be required to write-off the related inventory.
Our Anda Distribution operations and our customers are subject to various regulatory requirements, including requirements from the DEA, FDA, state boards of pharmacy and city and county health regulators, among others. These include licensing, registration, recordkeeping, security and reporting requirements. The DEA requires our Anda Distribution business to monitor customer orders of DEA Scheduled Drugs and to report suspicious orders to the DEA. Any determination by the DEA that we have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in DEA suspending, terminating or refusing to renew Anda Distributions license to distribute Scheduled Drugs. Additionally, although physicians may prescribe FDA approved products for an off label indication, we are permitted to market our products only for the indications for which they have been approved. Some of our products are prescribed off label and the FDA, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney or other regulatory authorities could take enforcement actions if they conclude that we or our distributors have engaged in off label marketing. In addition, several states and the federal government have begun to enforce anti-counterfeit drug pedigree laws which require the tracking of all transactions involving prescription drugs beginning with the manufacturer, through the supply chain, and down to the pharmacy or other health care provider dispensing or administering prescription drug products. For example, effective July 1, 2006, the Florida Department of Health began enforcement of the drug pedigree requirements for distribution of prescription drugs in the State of Florida. Pursuant to Florida law and regulations, wholesalers and distributors, including our subsidiary, Anda Pharmaceuticals, are required to maintain records documenting the chain of custody of prescription drug products they distribute beginning with the purchase of products from the manufacturer. These entities are required to provide documentation of the prior transaction(s) to their customers in Florida, including pharmacies and other health care entities. Several other states have proposed or enacted legislation to implement similar or more stringent drug pedigree requirements. In addition, federal law requires that a non-authorized distributor of record must provide a drug pedigree documenting the prior purchase of a prescription drug from the manufacturer or from an authorized distributor of record. In cases where the wholesaler or distributor selling the drug product is not deemed an authorized distributor of record it would need to maintain such records. The FDA had announced its intent to impose additional drug pedigree requirements (e.g., tracking of lot numbers and documentation of all transactions) through implementation of drug pedigree regulations which were to have taken effect on December 1, 2006. However, a federal appeals court has issued a preliminary injunction to several wholesale distributors granting an indefinite stay of these regulations pending a challenge to the regulations by these wholesale distributors.
36
The supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by recent regulations promulgated by the European Union.
As of July 2, 2013, all APIs imported into the EU must be certified as complying with the good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards established by the EU, as stipulated by the International Conference for Harmonization. These new regulations place the certification requirement on the regulatory bodies of the exporting countries. Accordingly, as of July 2, 2013, the national regulatory authorities of each exporting country must: (i) insure that all manufacturing plants within their borders that export API into the EU comply with EU manufacturing standards and; (ii) for each API exported, present a written document confirming that the exporting plant conforms to EU manufacturing standards. The imposition of this responsibility on the governments of the nations exporting API may cause a shortage of API necessary to manufacture our products, as certain governments may not be willing or able to comply with the regulation in a timely fashion, or at all. A shortage in API may cause us to have to cease manufacture of certain products, or to incur costs and delays to qualify other suppliers to substitute for those API manufacturers unable to export. This could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of brand and generic products could adversely affect our business.
As part of the MMA, companies are required to file with the FTC and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of brand drugs. This requirement, as well as new legislation pending in the U.S. Congress related to settlements between brand and generic drug manufacturers, could affect the manner in which generic drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with brand pharmaceutical companies and could result generally in an increase in private-party litigation against pharmaceutical companies or additional investigations or proceedings by the FTC or other governmental authorities. The impact of this requirement, the pending legislation and the potential private-party lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand name and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect our business. For example, on April 5, 2013, two putative class actions were filed against Actavis, Inc. and certain affiliates alleging that Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s 2009 patent lawsuit settlement with Legacy Warner Chilcott related to Loestrin® 24 Fe (norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, Loestrin® 24) is unlawful. The complaints, both asserted on behalf of putative classes of end-payors, generally allege that Watson and another generic manufacturer improperly delayed launching generic versions of Loestrin® 24 in exchange for substantial payments from Legacy Warner Chilcott, which at the time was an unrelated company, in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Further, in January 2009, the FTC and the State of California filed a lawsuit against us alleging that our settlement with Solvay related to our ANDA for a generic version of Androgel® is unlawful. Numerous private parties purporting to represent various classes of plaintiffs filed similar lawsuits. Similar lawsuits have been filed against us challenging the lawfulness of our settlements related to generic versions of Actos®, Androgel®, Cipro®, and Lidoderm®. We have also received requests for information and Statements of Objection in connection with investigations into settlements and other arrangements between competing pharmaceutical companies by the Federal Trade Commission and the European Competition Commission. In the past, we have also received requests for information and Statements of Objection in connection with investigations into settlements and other arrangements between competing pharmaceutical companies by the Federal Trade Commission and the European Competition Commission. In May 2014, Forest received a Civil Investigatory Demand from the FTC requesting information about Forests agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic®. In February 2014, Forest received an Investigatory Subpoena from the New York Attorney Generals Office requesting information regarding, among other things, plans to discontinue the sale of Namenda tablets. Any adverse outcome of these actions or investigations, or actions or investigations related to other settlements we have entered into, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Refer to Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying
37
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and in NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Healthcare reform and a reduction in the coverage and reimbursement levels by governmental authorities, HMOs, MCOs or other third-party payers may adversely affect our business.
Demand for our products depends in part on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement is available from third-party payers, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors. In order to commercialize our products, we have obtained from government authorities and private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs and MCOs, recognition for coverage and reimbursement at varying levels for the cost of certain of our products and related treatments. Third-party payers increasingly challenge pricing of pharmaceutical products. Further, the trend toward managed healthcare in the U.S., the growth of organizations such as HMOs and MCOs and legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs create uncertainties regarding the future levels of coverage and reimbursement for pharmaceutical products. Such cost containment measures and healthcare reform could reduce reimbursement of our pharmaceutical products, resulting in lower prices and a reduction in the product demand. This could affect our ability to sell our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
There is uncertainty surrounding implementation of legislation involving payments for pharmaceuticals under government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare. Depending on how existing provisions are implemented, the methodology for certain payment rates and other computations under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program reimbursements may be reduced or not be available for some of our products. Additionally, any reimbursement granted may not be maintained or limits on reimbursement available from third-party payers may reduce demand for, or negatively affect the price of those products. Ongoing uncertainty and challenges to the ACA, including but not limited to, modification in calculation of rebates, mandated financial or other contributions to close the Medicare Part D coverage gap donut hole, calculation of AMP, and other provisions could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, various legislative and regulatory initiatives in states, including proposed modifications to reimbursements and rebates, product pedigree and tracking, pharmaceutical waste take-back initiatives, and therapeutic category generic substitution carve-out legislation may also have a negative impact on the Company. We maintain a full-time government affairs department in Washington, DC, which is responsible for coordinating state and federal legislative activities, and places a major emphasis in terms of management time and resources to ensure a fair and balanced legislative and regulatory arena.
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and our future revenue growth and profitability are dependent on our timely development and launches of new products ahead of our competitors.
We face strong competition in our all of our businesses. The intensely competitive environment requires an ongoing, extensive search for technological innovations and the ability to market products effectively, including the ability to communicate the effectiveness, safety and value of brand products to healthcare professionals in private practice, group practices and MCOs. Our competitors vary depending upon product categories, and within each product category, upon dosage strengths and drug-delivery systems. Based on total assets, annual revenues, and market capitalization, we are smaller than certain of our national and international competitors in the brand and distribution product arenas. Most of our competitors have been in business for a longer period of time than us, have a greater number of products on the market and have greater financial and other resources than we do. Furthermore, recent trends in this industry are toward further market consolidation of large drug companies into a smaller number of very large entities, further concentrating financial, technical and market strength and increasing competitive pressure in the industry. If we directly compete with them for the same markets and/or products, their financial strength could prevent us from capturing a profitable share of those markets. It is possible that developments by our competitors will make our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete.
38
Revenues and gross profit derived from the sales of generic pharmaceutical products tend to follow a pattern based on certain regulatory and competitive factors. As patents for brand name products and related exclusivity periods expire, the first generic manufacturer to receive regulatory approval for generic equivalents of such products is generally able to achieve significant market penetration. Therefore, our ability to increase or maintain revenues and profitability in our generics business is largely dependent on our success in challenging patents and developing non-infringing formulations of proprietary products. As competing manufacturers receive regulatory approvals on similar products or as brand manufacturers launch generic versions of such products (for which no separate regulatory approval is required), market share, revenues and gross profit typically decline, in some cases dramatically. Accordingly, the level of market share, revenue and gross profit attributable to a particular generic product normally is related to the number of competitors in that products market and the timing of that products regulatory approval and launch, in relation to competing approvals and launches. Consequently, we must continue to develop and introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective manner to maintain our revenues and gross margins. We may have fewer opportunities to launch significant generic products in the future, as the number and size of proprietary products that are subject to patent challenges is expected to decrease in the next several years compared to historical levels. Additionally, as new competitors enter the market, there may be increased pricing pressure on certain products, which would result in lower gross margins. This is particularly true in the case of certain Asian and other overseas generic competitors, who may be able to produce products at costs lower than the costs of domestic manufacturers. If we experience substantial competition from Asian or other overseas generic competitors with lower production costs, our profit margins will suffer.
We also face strong competition in our Anda Distribution business, where we compete with a number of large wholesalers and other distributors of pharmaceuticals, including McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal, which market both brand and generic pharmaceutical products to their customers. These companies are significant customers of our Actavis Specialty Brands and Actavis Pharma businesses. As generic products generally have higher gross margins for distributors, each of the large wholesalers, on an increasing basis, are offering pricing incentives on brand products if the customers purchase a large portion of their generic pharmaceutical products from the primary wholesaler. As Anda does not offer a full line of brand products to our customers, we have been at times competitively disadvantaged and must compete with these wholesalers based upon our very competitive pricing for generic products, greater service levels and our well-established telemarketing relationships with our customers, supplemented by our electronic ordering capabilities. The large wholesalers have historically not used telemarketers to sell to their customers, but recently have begun to do so. Additionally, generic manufacturers are increasingly marketing their products directly to smaller chains and thus increasingly bypassing wholesalers and distributors. Increased competition in the generic industry as a whole may result in increased price erosion in the pursuit of market share.
Sales of our products may continue to be adversely affected by the continuing consolidation of our distribution network and the concentration of our customer base.
Our principal customers in our brand and generic pharmaceutical operations are wholesale drug distributors and major retail drug store chains. These customers comprise a significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in the U.S. This distribution network is continuing to undergo significant consolidation marked by mergers and acquisitions among wholesale distributors and the growth of large retail drug store chains. As a result, a small number of large wholesale distributors and large chain drug stores control a significant share of the market. We expect that consolidation of drug wholesalers and retailers will increase pricing and other competitive pressures on drug manufacturers, including the Company.
The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, none of our customers are party to any long-term supply agreements with us, and thus are able to change suppliers freely should they wish to do so.
39
We might face additional regulation in the U.S. if our drug candidate eluxadoline, which we acquired in the Furiex acquisition, is classified as a controlled substance by the DEA; we may be required to make additional payments in connection with the Furiex acquisition based on the outcome of any DEA schedule decision with respect to eluxadoline.
The DEA regulates drugs that are controlled substances. Controlled substances are those drugs that appear on one of the five schedules promulgated and administered by the DEA under the Controlled Substances Act (the CSA). Any drug that acts on the central nervous system has the potential to become a controlled substance, and scheduling by the DEA is an independent process that might delay the commercial launch of a drug even after FDA approval of the NDA. The CSA governs, among other things, the inventory distribution, recordkeeping, handling, security and disposal of controlled substances.
Eluxadoline is a novel, orally active, investigational agent that was filed with the FDA, with combined mu opioid receptor agonist and delta opioid receptor antagonist activity. Because it likely acts on the central nervous system, eluxadoline has the potential to be scheduled as a controlled substance by the DEA. However, our animal and clinical studies indicate eluxadoline is not absorbed into the blood in an appreciable amount via an oral route of administration, thus limiting delivery to the central nervous system. If the DEA schedules eluxadoline as a controlled substance, we will be subject to periodic and on-going inspections by the DEA and similar state drug enforcement authorities to assess our on-going compliance with the DEAs regulations. Any failure to comply with these regulations could lead to a variety of sanctions, including the revocation, or a denial of renewal, of any DEA registrations, injunctions, or civil or criminal penalties. Additionally, if the DEA schedules a drug because it is addictive, doctors might be reluctant to prescribe that drug. It is possible that the DEA will schedule eluxadoline as a controlled substance, and, based on the type of scheduling, doctors might not prescribe eluxadoline as frequently as they would otherwise, which could negatively impact our revenues.
In addition, under the terms of the agreements we entered into at the time of the Furiex acquisition, we may be required to make contingent payments to the former Furiex shareholders based on the outcome of any DEA scheduling decision with respect to eluxadoline. These payments would be approximately $120.0 million, in the aggregate, if eluxadoline is designated on Schedule IV of the CSA and would increase up to $360.0 million, in the aggregate, if eluxadoline is not designated on any schedule of the CSA.
Additional Risks Related to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and Re-domiciliation of Actavis to Ireland
The Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) may not agree that Actavis plc is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes.
Although Actavis plc is incorporated in Ireland, the IRS may assert that Actavis plc should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874. For U.S. federal tax purposes, a corporation generally is classified as either a U.S. corporation or a foreign corporation by reference to the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Because Actavis plc is an Irish incorporated entity, Actavis plc would generally be classified as a foreign corporation under these rules. Section 7874 provides an exception under which a foreign incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes.
Under Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a foreign corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes when (i) the foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including the indirect acquisition of assets of the U.S. corporation by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisition by reason of holding shares in the acquired U.S. corporation (including the receipt of the foreign corporations shares in exchange for the U.S. corporations shares), and (iii) the foreign corporations expanded affiliated group does not have substantial business activities in the foreign corporations country of organization or incorporation relative to such expanded affiliated groups worldwide activities. For purposes of Section 7874, multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations
40
by a foreign corporation, if treated as part of a plan or series of related transactions, may be treated as a single acquisition. If multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations are treated as a single acquisition, all shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporations would be aggregated for purposes of the test set forth above concerning such shareholders holding at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisitions by reason of holding shares in the acquired U.S. corporations.
On October 1, 2013, Actavis plc acquired all of the capital stock of Warner Chilcott plc, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, and Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. We believe that, in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Actavis, Inc. shareholders received less than 80% (by both vote and value) of our shares and consequently that the test set forth above to treat Actavis as a foreign corporation was satisfied. However, the law and Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 7874 are relatively new and somewhat unclear, and thus we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree that the ownership requirements to treat Actavis plc as a foreign corporation were met in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. Moreover, even if such ownership requirements were met in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the IRS may assert that, even though the Forest Acquisition was a separate transaction from the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Forest Acquisition should be integrated with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such assertion, Actavis plc would be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. Upon the closing of the Forest Acquisition, we received opinions from Latham & Watkins and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the effect that Actavis plc should not be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Forest Acquisition, but we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with this position and/or would not successfully challenge Actavis plcs status as a foreign corporation. If such a challenge by the IRS were successful, significant adverse tax consequences would result for Actavis.
Section 7874 likely will limit Actavis plc and its U.S. affiliates ability to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes to offset certain U.S. taxable income, if any, generated by the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition or certain specified transactions for a period of time following the transactions.
Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a foreign corporation, Section 7874 can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to utilize U.S. tax attributes such as net operating losses to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions. Based on the limited guidance available, we believe that this limitation applies to us and our U.S. affiliates following the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the Forest Acquisition and as a result, we currently do not expect that we or our U.S. affiliates will be able to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes to offset certain U.S. taxable income, if any, resulting from certain specified taxable transactions.
Actavis plcs status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes could be affected by a change in law.
Actavis plc believes that, under current law, it is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. However, changes to the inversion rules in Section 7874 or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or other IRS guidance could adversely affect Actavis plcs status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, and any such changes could have prospective or retroactive application to Actavis plc, Forest Laboratories, their respective stockholders, shareholders and affiliates, and/or the Forest Acquisition. Over the last several months, there has been significant attention directed at inversion transactions by the President, Congress, the Treasury Department, the IRS and the business media, and such attention is expected to continue. Recent legislative proposals have aimed to expand the scope of U.S. corporate tax residence, and such legislation, if passed, could have an adverse effect on us. For example, in March 2014, the President of the United States proposed legislation which would amend the anti-inversion rules. Although its application is limited to transactions closing after 2014, no assurance can be given that that proposal will not be changed in the legislative process and be enacted to apply to prior transactions. In addition, more recently, bills have been introduced in Congress, including those that, if enacted, would have retroactive application to a date prior to the closing date of the Forest Acquisition, that could cause Actavis plc to be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Forest Acquisition. Further, the Treasury Department recently
41
announced that it is reviewing a broad range of authorities for possible administrative actions that could limit the ability of companies to engage in inversions, and it is also considering approaches to limit the tax benefits following inversion transactions.
Future changes to the international tax laws could adversely affect us.
The U.S. Congress, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and other Government agencies in jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of base erosion and profit shifting, where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we and our affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect us and our affiliates.
Risks Relating to the New Notes
The new notes are subject to prior claims of any of Actavis SCS future secured creditors. Further, your right to receive payments on the new notes is effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited that do not guarantee the new notes.
The new notes are Actavis SCS unsecured general obligations. Holders of Actavis SCS secured indebtedness will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the new notes, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the new notes permits us, Actavis SCS future subsidiaries and Warner Chilcott Limited and its subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, Actavis SCS pledged assets would be available to satisfy obligations of Actavis SCS secured indebtedness before any payment could be made on the new notes. To the extent that such assets cannot satisfy in full Actavis SCS secured indebtedness, the holders of such indebtedness would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the new notes. In any of the foregoing events, Actavis SCS cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the new notes. As a result, holders of the new notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of Actavis SCS secured indebtedness.
Actavis SCS has no operations or subsidiaries. Consequently, Actavis SCS ability to service the new notes will depend primarily on Actavis SCS receipt of interest and principal payments on account of intercompany loans owing to Actavis SCS from other subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited. The guarantees of the new notes by Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. will be structurally subordinated to the claims of the creditors of their respective subsidiaries that do not also guarantee the new notes, except to the extent they are recognized as a creditor of the subsidiary, in which case their claim would still be effectively subordinate in right to payment to any security in the assets of the subsidiary and any indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to any indebtedness held by them respectively. Substantially all of the operations of Actavis are conducted through its subsidiaries and, therefore, the guarantors depend on the cash flow of their respective subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited that do not guarantee the new notes (other than Actavis SCS) will have no obligation to make distributions or other transfers to us to enable us to meet Actavis SCS obligations, including those with respect to the new notes. The total pro forma outstanding obligations of Warner Chilcott Limiteds consolidated subsidiaries (other than Actavis SCS) that do not guarantee the new notes would have been approximately $4,786.2 million as of June 30, 2014.
The limited covenants in the new notes and the indenture may not provide protection against some events or developments that may affect Actavis SCS ability to repay the new notes or the trading prices for the new notes.
The indenture governing the new notes will not:
| require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity and, accordingly, does not protect holders of the new notes in the event that Actavis SCS experiences significant adverse changes in its financial condition or results of operations; |
42
| limit Actavis SCS or Warner Chilcott Limiteds and its subsidiaries ability to incur indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the new notes; |
| limit Actavis SCS or Warner Chilcott Limiteds and its subsidiaries ability to incur substantial secured indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to the new notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness; |
| limit any future subsidiarys ability to incur indebtedness, which would rank senior to the new notes; |
| restrict any future subsidiarys ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness that would be senior to Actavis SCS equity interests in such subsidiary; |
| restrict Actavis SCS or Warner Chilcott Limiteds subsidiaries ability to repurchase or prepay securities; or |
| restrict Actavis SCS or Warner Chilcott Limiteds subsidiaries ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of common stock or other securities ranking junior or effectively junior to the new notes. |
For these reasons, you should not consider the covenants in the indenture as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the new notes. In addition, Actavis plc, Forest and other subsidiaries of Actavis are subject to periodic review by independent credit rating agencies. An increase in the level of Actavis outstanding indebtedness or the level of outstanding indebtedness at any of Actavis SCS affiliates, or other events that could have an adverse impact on Actavis business, properties, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, may cause the rating agencies to downgrade Actavis debt credit rating generally, and the ratings on the new notes, which could adversely impact the trading prices for, or the liquidity of, the new notes. Any such downgrade could also adversely affect Actavis cost of borrowing, limit Actavis SCS access to the capital markets or result in more restrictive covenants in future debt agreements.
Actavis credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the new notes.
The credit ratings assigned to the new notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the new notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agencys judgment, circumstances so warrant. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agencys rating should be evaluated independently of any other agencys rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in Actavis credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market value of the new notes and increase Actavis corporate borrowing costs.
Actavis SCS may not be able to repurchase the new notes upon a change of control.
Upon a change of control and a downgrade of the new notes below an investment grade rating by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poors Ratings Services, Actavis SCS will be required to make an offer to each holder of new notes to repurchase all or any part of such holders new notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. If a change of control triggering event under the indenture occurs, there can be no assurance that Actavis SCS would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the new notes. Our failure to purchase the new notes as required under the indenture governing the new notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the new notes. See Description of the New NotesRepurchase Upon a Change of Control.
43
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from the guarantor.
Creditors of the guarantors could challenge the guarantees of the new notes as fraudulent conveyances or on other grounds. Under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the delivery of the guarantees could be found to be a fraudulent transfer and declared void if a court determined that a guarantor, at the time the guarantor incurred the obligations evidenced by its guarantee, (1) delivered the guarantee with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its existing or future creditors; or (2) received less than reasonably equivalent value or did not receive fair consideration for the issuance of the guarantee and any of the following three conditions apply:
| the guarantor was insolvent on the date of the issuance of the guarantee or was rendered insolvent as a result of the issuance of the guarantee; |
| the guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction, or was about to engage in a business or transaction, for which the guarantors remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or |
| the guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured. |
In addition, any payment by the guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. In any such case, your right to receive payments in respect of the new notes from a guarantor would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of such guarantor.
The indenture governing the new notes contains a savings clause, which limits the liability on the guarantees to the maximum amount that a guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. Actavis SCS cannot assure you that this limitation will protect the guarantee from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees will suffice, if necessary, to pay the new notes in full when due. Furthermore, in Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc. v. Citicorp North America, Inc., the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida held that a savings clause similar to the savings clause that will be used in the indenture was unenforceable. As a result, the subsidiary guarantees were found to be fraudulent conveyances. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit recently affirmed the liability findings of the Bankruptcy Court without ruling directly on the enforceability of savings clauses generally. If the TOUSA decision is followed by other courts, the risk that the guarantees would be deemed fraudulent conveyances would be significantly increased.
If a court declares the guarantees to be void, or if the guarantees must be limited or voided in accordance with their terms, any claim you may make against us for amounts payable on the new notes would, with respect to amounts claimed against the guarantor, be subordinated to the indebtedness of the guarantor, including trade payables. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, the guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
| the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; |
| if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or |
| it could not pay its debts as they become due. |
Actavis SCS cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations.
44
Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital are incorporated in Luxembourg, and Luxembourg law differs from U.S. law and may afford less protection to holders of the new notes.
Holders of the new notes may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would security holders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. As Luxembourg companies, Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital are incorporated under and subject to the Luxembourg law on commercial companies of 10 August 1915 (as amended) (the Luxembourg Companies Law) and Luxembourg laws and regulations. The Luxembourg Companies Law differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and security holders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions, takeovers, security holder lawsuits and indemnification of directors, managers or officers.
Under Luxembourg law, the duties of directors, managers or general partners of a company, are generally owed to the company only. Security holders of Luxembourg companies generally do not have rights to take action against directors, managers or general partners of the company, except in limited circumstances. Directors, managers or general partners of a Luxembourg company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act in good faith and in the interests of the company as a whole and must exercise due care, skill and diligence. Directors, managers or general partners have a duty not to put themselves in a position in which their duties to the company and their personal interests may conflict and also are under a duty to disclose any personal interest in any contract or arrangement with the company or any of its subsidiaries. If a director, manager or general partner of a Luxembourg company is found to have breached his or her duties to that company, he or she may be held personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director, manager or general partners may be jointly and severally liable with other directors, managers or general partners implicated in the same breach of duty.
Luxembourg bankruptcy laws may be less favorable to you than bankruptcy and insolvency laws in other jurisdictions.
Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital are incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, and as such any insolvency proceedings applicable to them are in principle governed by Luxembourg law. The insolvency laws of Luxembourg may not be as favorable to your interests as creditors as the laws of the United States or other jurisdictions with which you may be familiar. See Enforceability of Civil LiabilitiesCertain Insolvency Law Considerations.
The guarantee granted by Actavis Capital may be subject to limitations under Luxembourg law.
The granting of a guarantee by a Luxembourg company is subject to specific limitations and requirements relating to corporate object and corporate benefit. The granting of a guarantee by a company incorporated and existing in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg must not be prohibited by the corporate object (objet social) or legal form of that company. In addition, there is also a requirement according to which the granting of security by a company has to be for its corporate benefit. See Service of Process and Enforcement of LiabilitiesGuarantees.
As a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, Warner Chilcott Limited may be subject to Bermuda corporate and insolvency laws under which secured creditors could be paid in priority to the claims of holders of the new notes.
The granting of the guarantee of the new notes by Warner Chilcott Limited may be subject to review under Bermuda law if:
(i) the granting of the guarantee constituted a fraudulent preference, namely Warner Chilcott Limited granted the guarantee with the dominant intention of preferring the guaranteed party to the detriment of other creditors; and
(ii) at the time of, or immediately after, the granting of the guarantee, Warner Chilcott Limited was insolvent; and
45
(iii) Warner Chilcott Limited entered into formal insolvency proceedings within six months of the granting of the guarantee.
In addition, under Bermuda law, a transaction, which could include the granting of a guarantee, at less than fair value and made with the dominant intention of putting property beyond the reach of creditors is voidable after an action is successfully brought by an eligible creditor within a period of six years from the date of the transaction. A transaction, which could include the granting of a guarantee, might be challenged if it involved a gift by the company or if a company received consideration of significantly less than the benefit given by such company.
A judgment obtained in a non-Bermuda court against Warner Chilcott Limited may not be readily enforceable against Warner Chilcott Limited in Bermuda.
Warner Chilcott Limited is organized under the laws of Bermuda. As a result, it may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against Warner Chilcott Limited (whether based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws, New York law as the governing law of the new notes, indenture and guarantees or otherwise) in Bermuda. We have been advised by our legal advisors in Bermuda that the United States does not currently have a treaty with Bermuda providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States, whether based on U.S. federal or state securities laws or otherwise, would not automatically be enforceable (and may not be enforceable at all) in Bermuda. Furthermore, you will not be able to bring a lawsuit or otherwise seek any remedies under the laws of the United States or any states therein, including remedies available under the U.S. federal securities laws, in courts of Bermuda (otherwise than in relation to agreements governed by U.S. law where Bermuda courts have accepted jurisdiction to hear the matter).
You may be unable to recover in civil proceedings for U.S. securities laws violations.
Actavis SCS and the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.) are organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and may not have any assets in the United States. It is anticipated that some or all of the directors and managers of Actavis SCS and the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.) will be nonresidents of the United States and that all or a majority of their assets will be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.), or to enforce any judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. In addition, we cannot assure you that civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States will be enforceable in any other jurisdiction. See Service of Process and Enforcement of LiabilitiesEnforcement of Judgments.
Interest paid on the new notes may be treated as U.S. source interest, in which case, 30% U.S. withholding tax may apply unless a non-U.S. holder qualifies for an exemption from such withholding tax.
A substantial portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the old notes was directly or indirectly on-lent by us to a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Actavis plc and used in the United States. As a result, the IRS could argue that there is a potential tax avoidance plan and that interest on the new notes paid to a non-U.S. holder is treated as U.S. source interest, which is subject to withholding tax at 30% unless the non-U.S. holder qualifies for an applicable exemption.
Each investor who is exchanging old notes for new notes pursuant to this exchange offer is required to represent (and is deemed to represent by exchanging the new notes) that its investment in the new notes is not pursuant to a tax avoidance plan, and it either (a) is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) (i) does not own actually or constructively 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the stock of Actavis plc entitled to vote, (ii) is not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) actually or constructively related to Actavis plc through stock ownership, and (iii) is not
46
a bank whose receipt of interest on the new notes is interest received pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, (c) is entitled to a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest paid on the new notes pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction in which it is resident, or (d) has a trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, a permanent establishment) in the United States and is entitled to a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest paid on the notes because such interest is effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, a permanent establishment). In addition, each investor must covenant (and is deemed to covenant by exchanging the new notes) that it will, if requested by us, provide a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-9 or other applicable form, establishing a complete exemption from the U.S. withholding taxes on payments on the new notes and agree to bear any U.S. withholding taxes resulting from the failure to provide such forms. Each investor who purchased the old notes pursuant to the June 2014 offering was required to make (and was deemed to have made by purchasing the old notes) similar representations and covenants.
Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer
Because there is no public market for the notes, you may not be able to resell your notes.
The new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, but will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market, and there can be no assurance as to:
| the liquidity of any trading market that may develop; |
| the ability of holders to sell their exchange notes; or |
| the price at which the holders would be able to sell their exchange notes. |
If a trading market were to develop, the new notes might trade at higher or lower prices than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and our financial performance.
In addition, any holder of old notes who tenders in the applicable exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the applicable new notes may be deemed to have received restricted securities, and if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For a description of these requirements, see The Exchange Offer.
The old notes will not be accepted for exchange if holders fail to follow the exchange offer procedures and, as a result, such holders old notes will continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions and they may not be able to sell such old notes.
We will not accept old notes for exchange if you do not follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue new notes as part of the exchange offer only after a timely receipt of old notes and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your old notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your old notes and other required documents by the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will not accept your old notes for exchange. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes, we may not accept your old notes for exchange. For more information, see The Exchange Offer.
If you do not exchange your old notes, your old notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your old notes.
We did not register the old notes, nor do we intend to do so following the exchange offer. Old notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If you do not exchange your old notes, you will lose your right to have your old notes registered under the federal securities laws. As a result, if you hold old notes after the applicable exchange offer, you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this prospectus that refer to Actavis estimated or anticipated future results, including estimated synergies, or other non-historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect Actavis current perspective of existing trends and information as of the date of this prospectus. Forward looking statements generally will be accompanied by words such as anticipate, believe, plan, could, should, estimate, expect, forecast, outlook, guidance, intend, may, might, will, possible, potential, predict, project, or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the Forest or Furiex acquisitions, including future financial and operating results, and Actavis plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. It is important to note that Actavis goals and expectations are not predictions of actual performance. Actual results may differ materially from Actavis current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting Actavis business and risks associated with acquisition transactions. These factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; the ability to successfully integrate strategic transactions, including the Forest and Furiex acquisitions, and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of such acquisitions; the failure of any proposed transactions to close for any other reason; the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Actavis products, and the ability to successfully manage transitions to new products and markets; the impact of competitive products and pricing; access to available financing on a timely basis and on reasonable terms; the risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the pharmaceutical industry, including product liability claims and the availability of product liability insurance on reasonable terms; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of pending or future litigation or government investigations; periodic dependence on a small number of products for a material source of net revenue or income; variability of trade buying patterns; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; risks that the carrying values of assets may be negatively impacted by future events and circumstances; the timing and success of product launches; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; market acceptance of and continued demand for Actavis products, including products acquired as part of the Forest or Furiex acquisitions; costs and efforts to defend or enforce intellectual property rights; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products and materials; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to Actavis facilities, products and/or businesses; changes in the laws and regulations affecting, among other things, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products; changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase Actavis consolidated tax liabilities; the loss of key senior management or scientific staff; and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Risk Factors section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, plan, intend, could, would, should, estimate, continue, or pursue, or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We caution the reader that these statements are based on certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, certain important factors may affect our actual operating results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We believe the risks and uncertainties discussed under the section entitled Risk Factors may cause Actavis, Actavis SCSs or the guarantors actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statement.
For a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are made only as of their respective dates, and we undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law.

Purpose of the Exchange Offer
When we issued the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement dated June 19, 2014 with the initial purchasers of the old notes. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we and the Guarantors agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC no later than March 26, 2015, enabling holders to exchange the old notes for publicly registered exchange notes (the new notes) with substantially identical terms as the old notes. We also agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than March 26, 2015, and to commence and complete this exchange offer as soon as reasonably practicable after the effectiveness of the registration statement. We will keep the exchange offer (Registered Exchange Offer) open for not less than 20 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is sent to the holders of the old notes. The registration rights agreement provides that if, among other things, the Exchange Offer is not consummated prior to March 26, 2015, then we will, subject to certain exceptions, promptly file a shelf registration statement (the Shelf Registration Statement) with the SEC covering resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be, use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act, and following effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer and keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to holders of the notes and issue Exchange Notes in exchange for all notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer prior to March 26, 2015.
The registration rights agreement also provides that we will be required to pay additional cash interest on old notes (and, where applicable, new notes) if we fail to consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the later of March 26, 2015, if we are obligated to file the Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to March 26, 2015, or the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to a series of notes is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales or exchanges of such series of notes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement.
A copy of the registration rights agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Terms Of The Exchange Offer; Period For Tendering Old Notes
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus, we will accept for exchange old notes which are properly tendered on or prior to the expiration date and not withdrawn as permitted below. The expiration date will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 12, 2014, unless extended by us in our sole discretion.
As of the date of this prospectus, $3,700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the old notes are outstanding. Only a registered holder of the old notes (or such holders legal representative or attorney-in-fact) as reflected on the records of the trustee under the applicable Indenture may participate in the exchange offer. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of the old notes entitled to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer. The old notes may be tendered only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This prospectus, is first being sent on or about October 15, 2014 to all holders of old notes known to us.
We shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as and if we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of old notes for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us.
49
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, and thereby delay acceptance for any exchange of any old notes, by giving notice of such extension to the exchange agent and the holders of the old notes as described below. We anticipate that we would only delay acceptance of outstanding notes tendered in the offer due to an extension of the expiration date of the offer. During any such extension, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without expense to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion:
| to delay accepting any old notes; |
| to extend the exchange offer; |
| to terminate the exchange offer; and |
| to waive any condition or otherwise amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. |
If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the eligible holders of old notes. In the event of a material change in the offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the offer period if necessary so that at least five business days remain in the offer following notice of the material change. Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination, amendment or waiver will be followed promptly by oral or written notice to the exchange agent and by making a public announcement of it, and the notice and announcement in the case of an extension will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the exchange offer was previously scheduled to expire. Subject to applicable law, we may make this public announcement by issuing a press release.
Each holder exchanging old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer shall be deemed to have represented and covenanted that its investment in the notes is not pursuant to a tax avoidance plan, and it either (a) is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) (i) does not own actually or constructively 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the stock of Actavis plc entitled to vote, (ii) is not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) actually or constructively related to Actavis plc through stock ownership, and (iii) is not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is interest received pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, (c) is entitled to a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest paid on the notes pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction in which it is resident, or (d) has a trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, a permanent establishment) in the United States and is entitled to a full exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest paid on the notes because such interest is effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, a permanent establishment). In addition, each holder exchanging old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer shall be deemed to have covenanted that it will, if requested by us, provide a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-9 or other applicable form, establishing a complete exemption from the U.S. withholding taxes on payments on the notes and agree to bear any U.S. withholding taxes resulting from the failure to provide such forms.
Holders of old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters rights under the Delaware Corporation Law in connection with the exchange offer.
50
Procedures For Tendering Old Notes
Only a registered holder of old notes may tender such old notes in the exchange offer. The exchange offer will be conducted without the use of a letter of transmittal or notice of guaranteed delivery. If you wish to tender your old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer you must:
| if you hold the private notes through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, comply with the ATOP procedures of DTC, and the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the private notes into its account at DTC pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described herein, along with a properly transmitted agents message, before the expiration date; or |
| if you hold private notes through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or Euroclear, or Clearstream Banking, S.A., or Clearstream, comply with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, before the expiration date. |
The tender by a holder which is not withdrawn prior to the expiration date will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus.
The depositary has confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in the depositarys system may utilize the depositarys Automated Tender Offer Program to tender old notes.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered old notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion. This determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular old notes our acceptance of which might, in our judgment or our counsels judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to particular old notes either before or after the expiration date (including the right to waive the ineligibility of any holder who seeks to tender old notes in the exchange offer). Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of old notes for exchange, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
While we have no present plan to acquire any old notes which are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any old notes which are not tendered pursuant to the exchange offer, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date or, as set forth below under Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer, to terminate the exchange offer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase old notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.
By tendering, each holder will represent to us in writing that, among other things:
| the new notes acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and any beneficial holder; |
| neither the holder nor any such beneficial holder has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of new notes; |
| the holder acknowledges and agrees that any person who is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or is participating in the exchange offer for the purposes of distributing the new |
51
notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the new notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC set forth in certain no-action letters, including the staffs position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988) (the Exxon Capital Letter) and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) (the Morgan Stanley Letter), as interpreted in the SECs letter to Shearman & Sterling (dated July 2, 1993) (the Shearman & Sterling Letter); |
| the holder and any beneficial holder understands that a secondary resale transaction described in the third bullet point above and any resales of new notes obtained by such holder in exchange for old notes acquired by such holder directly from us should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the SEC; and |
| the holder is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of our company. |
If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the holder is required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See Plan of Distribution. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Acceptance of Old Notes For Exchange; Delivery Of New Notes
Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept, promptly after the expiration date of the exchange offer, all old notes properly tendered, and will issue the new notes promptly after acceptance of the old notes. See Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer below. For purposes of the exchange offer, we shall be deemed to have accepted properly tendered old notes for exchange when, as and if we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice to the exchange agent. The new notes will bear interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes, or if no interest has been paid on the old notes, from June 19, 2014. Accordingly, registered holders of new notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from June 19, 2014. Old notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the exchange offer. Holders of old notes whose old notes are accepted for exchange will not receive any payment for accrued interest on the old notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date the record date for which occurs on or after consummation of the exchange offer and will be deemed to have waived their rights to receive accrued interest on the old notes.
Return of Old Notes
If any tendered old notes are not accepted for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if old notes are withdrawn or are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holders desire to exchange, such unaccepted, withdrawn or non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder of such old notes (or, in the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agents account at the depositary pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, such old notes will be credited to an account maintained with the depositary) promptly upon the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the old notes at the depositary for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any
52
financial institution that is a participant in the depositarys systems may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing the depositary to transfer such old notes into the exchange agents account at the depositary in accordance with the depositarys procedures for transfer.
Withdrawal of Tenders
Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of old notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date.
To withdraw a tender of old notes in the exchange offer, subject to the applicable procedures of DTC, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth below, prior to the expiration date. Any such notice of withdrawal must:
| specify the name of the person having deposited the old notes to be withdrawn; |
| identify the old notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers and aggregate principal amount of such old notes); |
| where the certificates for old notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such old notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder. |
If certificates for old notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless such holder is an eligible institution.
If old notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the depositary to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by us in our sole discretion, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no new notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the old notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Properly withdrawn old notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above at any time prior to the expiration date.
Certain Conditions To The Exchange Offer
Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we shall not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes. We may terminate or amend the exchange offer if at any time before the expiration of the exchange offer, we determine that:
| the exchange offer does not comply with any applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC; |
| we have not received all applicable governmental approvals; or |
| any actions or proceedings of any governmental agency or court exist which could materially impair our ability to consummate the exchange offer. |
The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our reasonable discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
53
In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and no new notes will be issued in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. In any such event we are required to use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order at the earliest possible time.

Fees and Expenses
The expenses of soliciting tenders will be borne by us. The principal solicitation is being made by mail. However, additional solicitation may be made by facsimile, telephone or in person by our officers and employees.
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange offer.
The expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer will be paid by us. Such expenses include registration fees, fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others.
Transfer Taxes
Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the tender. If, however, new notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any
54
reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person, will be payable by the holder or such other person. If satisfactory evidence of payment of, or exemption from, such taxes is not submitted, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.
Accounting Treatment
The new notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes, which is the principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized.
Consequences Of Failure To Exchange; Resales Of New Notes
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. Holders of the old notes are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in making their own decisions on what action to take.
Holders of old notes who do not exchange their old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of those old notes as set forth in the legend thereon as a consequence of the issuance of the old notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Old notes not exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer will continue to accrue interest at 6.875% per annum and will otherwise remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Holders of old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with the exchange offer.
Based on interpretive letters issued by the staff of the SEC to third parties in unrelated transactions, including the staffs position enunciated in the Exxon Capital Letter, the Morgan Stanley Letter and the Shearman & Sterling Letter, we are of the view that new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any broker-dealer that purchases notes from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act. This is the case provided that such new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such new notes. If any holder has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the new notes to be acquired pursuant to the exchange offer, such holder:
| could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC as enunciated in the Exxon Capital Letter, the Morgan Stanley Letter, the Shearman & Sterling Letter, or other interpretive letters to similar effect; and |
| must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. |
A broker-dealer who holds old notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities may be deemed to be all underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of new notes. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where the old notes were acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes.
55
By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we have agreed to make this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, available to broker-dealers for use in connection with any resale for a period of one year following the effective date. See Plan of Distribution.
We have not requested the staff of the SEC to consider the exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff would take positions similar to those taken in the interpretive letters referred to above if we were to make such a no-action request.
In addition, to comply with the securities laws of applicable jurisdictions, the new notes may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable jurisdictions or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. We have agreed, under the registration rights agreement and subject to specified limitations therein, to register or qualify the new notes for offer or sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the applicable jurisdictions in the United States as any selling holder of the new notes reasonably requests in writing.
56
We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes. The new notes will be exchanged for old notes in like principal amount, and the exchanged old notes will be canceled. As a result, the issuance of new notes in exchange for old notes as contemplated in this prospectus will not result in any change in our indebtedness.
We used the proceeds from the offering of the old notes to consummate the Forest Acquisition, to refinance the WC Senior Notes, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.

(1) | On October 1, 2013, Actavis plc completed the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. Legacy Warner Chilcott was a leading specialty pharmaceutical company focused on womens healthcare, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America. Beginning October 1, 2013, the following items were included in Warner Chilcott Limiteds operating results: |
| total revenues and related cost of sales for Legacy Warner Chilcott products; |
| selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses; |
| amortization expense for intangible assets acquired; and |
| increased interest expense from the senior secured notes assumed and the $2.0 billion aggregate term loan indebtedness assumed, and subsequently refinanced, in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. |
(2) | On August 1, 2013, Actavis, Inc. entered into a transaction with Palau Pharma, S.A. (Palau) to acquire worldwide product rights to develop and commercialize albaconazole for the treatment of candidiasis. Actavis, Inc. simultaneously entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with Palau for the supply of clinical and commercial quantities of the products. In connection with the execution of the agreements, Actavis, Inc. paid an upfront non-refundable payment of 10.0 million, or $13.4 million to Palau, which was recorded as R&D expense in the year ended December 31, 2013. |
(3) | On June 11, 2013, Actavis, Inc. entered into an exclusive license agreement with Medicines360 to market, sell and distribute Medicines360 LNG20 intrauterine device in the U.S. and in Canada for a payment of approximately $52.3 million. Actavis will also pay Medicines360 certain regulatory and sales based milestone payments totaling up to nearly $125.0 million plus royalties. Medicines360 retains the rights to market the product in the U.S. public sector, including family planning clinics that provide services to low-income women. LNG20, originally developed by Uteron Pharma S.P.R.L. in Belgium (now a subsidiary of Actavis), is designed to deliver 20 mcg of levonorgestrel per day for the indication of long |
60
term contraception, and is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the United States. Pending FDA approval, the LNG20 product could be launched in the U.S. as early as 2014. |
(4) | On January 23, 2013, Actavis, Inc. completed the acquisition of Uteron Pharma, SA for approximately $142.0 million in cash, plus assumption of debt and other liabilities of $7.7 million and up to $155.0 million in potential future milestone payments (the Uteron Acquisition). The Uteron Acquisition expanded Actavis specialty brands pipeline of womens health products including two potential near term commercial opportunities in contraception and infertility, and one oral contraceptive project projected to launch by 2018. Several additional products in earlier stages of development are also included in the acquisition. |
(5) | On October 31, 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Watson) completed the acquisition of Actavis Group. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated number of shares contingently issuable in connection with the Actavis Group earn-out was calculated to be 3.85 million shares. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the decision was made to award the remaining 1.65 million shares. The 1.65 million additional shares are included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013 beginning on March 28, 2013. The Actavis Group was a privately held generic pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of generic pharmaceuticals. Actavis financial statements included in this prospectus do not include the financial results of the Actavis Group for any of the periods presented prior to October 31, 2012. |
(6) | On December 2, 2009, Watson acquired all the outstanding equity of the Arrow Group in exchange for cash consideration of $1.05 billion, approximately 16.9 million shares of Watson restricted common stock and 200,000 shares of its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and certain contingent consideration. The fair value of the total consideration was approximately $1.95 billion. |

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the June 10, 2014 issuance of the $3.7 billion aggregate principal amount of notes (the New Notes), (ii) the acquisition of Forest by the Company, which was closed on July 1, 2014 (Forest Acquisition), (iii) the acquisition of Aptalis Holdings Inc. (Aptalis) by Forest, which was closed on January 30, 2014 (Aptalis Acquisition), (iv) the acquisition of Legacy Warner Chilcott, which was closed on October 1, 2013 (Warner Chilcott Acquisition) and (v) the related financing to fund the acquisitions on historical financial position and results of operations of Actavis.
The fiscal years of the Company, Warner Chilcott plc, Forest and Aptalis ended on December 31, December 31, March 31 and September 30, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet is prepared based on the historical consolidated balance sheets of Warner Chilcott Limited and Forest as of June 30, 2014. The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations is prepared based on (i) historical consolidated statement of operations of Warner Chilcott Limited for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, (ii) historical consolidated statement of operations of Warner Chilcott plc for the nine months ended September 31, 2013, (iii) historical consolidated statement of operations of Forest for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, which was derived by adding the consolidated statement of operations for nine months ended December 31, 2013 and subtracting the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 to and from the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and the historical consolidated statement of operations of Forest for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was derived by subtracting the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and adding the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 from and to the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and (iv) historical consolidated statement of operations of Aptalis for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, which was derived by adding the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and subtracting the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 to and from the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 and the historical consolidated statement of operations of Aptalis for the one month ended January 31, 2014.
The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are based upon and derived from the historical unaudited financial information of Warner Chilcott Limited (which are included in this prospectus), historical audited financial information of Forest (which are included in this prospectus) and historical unaudited financial information of Forest (which are included in this prospectus). The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 are based upon and derived from the historical audited financial statements of Warner Chilcott Limited (which are included in this prospectus), historical unaudited financial information of Warner Chilcott plc (which are included in this prospectus), historical audited financial information of Forest (which are included in this prospectus), historical unaudited financial information of Forest (which are included in this prospectus), historical audited financial information of Aptalis (which are included in this prospectus) and historical unaudited financial information of Aptalis (which are included in this prospectus).
The Forest Acquisition, the Aptalis Acquisition and the Warner Chilcott Acquisition have been accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, (ASC 805). The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements set forth below primarily give effect to the following:
| Effect of application of the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the acquisitions; |
| Effect of repayment of certain existing debt facilities and new borrowings under new debt facilities to fund the acquisitions; and |
62
| Effect of transaction costs in connection with the acquisitions and financings. |
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions, described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisitions of Forest and Aptalis are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value as of June 30, 2014. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in determining the estimated fair values of in-process research and development (IPR&D), identifiable intangible assets and certain other assets and liabilities. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete each in-process project, projecting the timing of regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 assumes the completion of the transactions occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 assumes the transactions occurred on June 30, 2014, except for the acquisition of Warner Chilcott plc and Aptalis and their related financing, which were already reflected in Warner Chilcott Limiteds and Forests historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the acquisitions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that Warner Chilcott Limited will experience after the acquisitions. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.
Certain financial information of Forest, Aptalis and Warner Chilcott plc as presented in their respective consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Warner Chilcott Limiteds consolidated financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
This unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Warner Chilcott Limited, Forest and Aptalis incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

1. Description of Transactions
Issuance of Notes: On June 10, 2014, Actavis Funding SCS, a limited partnership (societe en commandite simple), organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, an indirect subsidiary of Actavis plc, issued $500.0 million 1.300% notes due 2017, $500.0 million 2.450% notes due 2019, $1,200.0 million 3.850% notes due 2024 and $1,500.0 million 4.850% notes due 2044 (collectively the New Notes). Interest payments are due on the New Notes on June 15 and December 15 annually, beginning on December 15, 2014. The guarantors of the debt are Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital S.à r.l., and Actavis, Inc. Actavis plc will not guarantee the New Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes were used, in part, to refinance the Warner Chilcott 7.75% senior notes due 2018 (the WC Senior Notes) and along with borrowings under Actavis new senior unsecured term loan facility, other financings and cash on hand at Actavis plc, (a) to complete the acquisition of Forest, (b) to pay related fees and expenses and (c) for general corporate expenses.
Forest Acquisition: On February 17, 2014, Actavis entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Forest, pursuant to which Actavis acquired Forest in a series of merger transactions.
At the effective time of Merger 1, each share of Forests common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Merger 1 (other than dissenting shares) was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share of Forest common stock, (i) a combination of $26.04 in cash, plus .3306 Actavis plc shares (the Mixed Election), (ii) $86.81 in cash (the Cash Election) or (iii) .4723 Actavis plc shares (the Stock Election). On July 1, 2014, the transaction closed and Actavis plc acquired Forest for equity consideration which includes outstanding equity awards (approximately $20.6 billion) and cash consideration (approximately $7.0 billion which was funded in part with cash on hand and financing available on July 1, 2014) of approximately $27.6 billion (the Forest Acquisition). Under the terms of the transaction, Forest shareholders received 89.8 million Actavis plc ordinary shares, 6.0 million Actavis plc non-qualified stock options and 1.1 million of Actavis plc share units. The assets acquired and the results of operations of Forest will be included in the Companys financial statements from the date of acquisition, July 1, 2014.
Aptalis Acquisition: On January 30, 2014, Forest closed the Aptalis Acquisition in a series of merger transactions for an aggregate purchase price equal to the total enterprise value, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options, plus the amount of closing date cash, minus Aptalis existing indebtedness, minus certain selling stockholders expenses. Forest funded the Aptalis Acquisition using the proceeds from its debt offerings. Forests historical consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes results of operations of Aptalis since February 1, 2014.
Warner Chilcott Acquisition: On October 1, 2013, Actavis acquired Legacy Warner Chilcott plc pursuant to a scheme of arrangement where each Warner Chilcott plc ordinary share was converted into 0.160 of Actavis ordinary share, or $5,833.9 million in equity consideration. Warner Chilcott Limiteds historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes results of operations of Legacy Warner Chilcott plc since October 1, 2013.
2. Basis of Presentation
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transaction, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
67
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
3. Accounting Policies
Following the acquisition, Actavis began a review of accounting policies of Forest and Aptalis in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of results of operations or of assets or liabilities to conform to Actavis accounting policies and classifications. The above valuation includes a preliminary assessment from the accounting policy review.

a. | Preliminary estimate of fair value of ordinary shares issued was estimated based on approximately 271.5 million shares of Forests common stock outstanding (excluding restricted stock) as of June 26, 2014, multiplied by the exchange ratio of 0.3306 and Actavis share price of $223.05 on June 30, 2014. |
Almost all equity awards of Forest were replaced with equity awards of Actavis plc with similar terms, except for restricted stock units with performance conditions. Preliminary estimate of fair value of equity awards issued represents the estimated aggregate fair value of Actavis replacement awards attributable to the service periods prior to the Forest Acquisition, which is considered as part of purchase consideration, and was calculated based on Forests equity awards outstanding (including restricted stock) as of June 26, 2014, multiplied by the exchange ratio of 0.4723 and estimated fair value of equity awards.
Fair value of common stock and equity awards was estimated based on the Actavis closing share price on June 30, 2014 of $223.05 per share.
b. | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to step-up Forests inventory, above market lease, assets held for sale and identifiable intangible assets by $1,233.9 million, $6.6 million, $89.4 million and $8,875.2 million to their preliminary fair values of $1,725.5 million, $6.6 million, $89.4 million and $13,945.5 million, respectively. It also represents the estimated fair value adjustment to step-down Forests PP&E and below market lease by $159.7 million and $4.1 million to their preliminary fair value of $222.3 million and ($4.1) million, respectively. Refer to Note 7f for additional accounting policy alignments which impact accounts payable. |
The estimated step-up in inventory will increase cost of sales as the acquired inventory is sold within the first year after the acquisition. As there is no continuing impact, the effect on cost of sales from the inventory step-up is not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
73
Identified intangible assets, including assets from the Aptalis Acquisition, of $13,945.5 million primarily consist of (i) currently marketed products (CMP) of $12,474.0 million (weighted average useful life of 4.8 years), (ii) IPR&D of $1,304.0 million, (iii) other intangible assets such as royalty agreements and technology contracts of $154.0 million (weighted average useful life of 12.8 years) and (v) divested products of $13.5 million. The IPR&D amounts will be capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project and launch of the product, Actavis will make a separate determination of useful life of the IPR&D intangible and amortization will be recorded as an expense. As the IPR&D intangibles are not currently marketed, no amortization of these items is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
The fair value estimate for identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. For purposes of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information, it is assumed that all assets will be used in a manner that represents their highest and best use. The final fair value determination for identified intangibles, including the IPR&D intangibles, may differ from this preliminary determination.
The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participants expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the identifiable intangible assets valuations, from the perspective of a market participant, include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development costs, selling and marketing costs and working capital asset/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk and regulatory risk. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
c. | Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The adjustment represents a net increase of Warner Chilcott Limiteds total goodwill by $14,757.0 million to $23,989.1 million after giving effect to the Forest Acquisition. |
d. | Represents deferred income tax liabilities of $279.3 million (current) and $2,888.2 million (non-current), resulting from fair value adjustments for the identifiable tangible assets and intangible assets as well as liabilities assumed and other acquisition accounting adjustments, respectively. This estimate of deferred tax liabilities was determined based on the excess book basis over the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at a 21.0% weighted average statutory tax rate of the United States and Ireland, where most of Forests taxable income was generated historically. |
e. | Represents cash outflows from the (i) payment of cash purchase consideration of $7,070.6 million and (ii) M&A costs of Warner Chilcott Limited and Forest of $21.3 million and $74.7 million, respectively, which are expected to be incurred. |
f. | Represents preliminary adjustments for accounting policy alignment of $(6.3) million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $(33.3) million in investments and other assets, $25.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $81.3 million in other long-term liabilities, and $56.8 million in other taxes payable liabilities with the net impact of the alignments impacting goodwill. |
g. | Represents the addition of members capital (excluding restricted shares) of $20,022.5 million, the addition of members capital related to the replacement equity awards (including restricted shares) of $547.2 million and the elimination of Forests members capital of $3,033.4 million. |

a. | Represents the elimination of net revenues and cost of sales of product sales and royalty payments of $16.4 million between the Company and Legacy Warner Chilcott for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. |
b. | Warner Chilcott Limited applied the acquisition method of accounting to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Warner Chilcott plc and the property and equipment of Warner Chilcott plc were recorded at fair value and their useful lives were adjusted.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We discuss such risks, uncertainties and other factors throughout this prospectus and specifically under Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. In addition, the following discussion of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.
In prior periods, our consolidated financial statements presented the accounts of Actavis, Inc. On May 16, 2013, Actavis plc was incorporated in Ireland as a private limited company and re-registered effective September 18, 2013 as a public limited company. It was established for the purpose of facilitating the business combination between Actavis, Inc. and Legacy Warner Chilcott. On October 1, 2013, pursuant to the transaction agreement dated May 19, 2013 among Actavis, Inc., Legacy Warner Chilcott, the Company, Actavis Ireland Holding Limited, Actavis W.C. Holding LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding Inc.) and Actavis W.C. Holding 2 LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding 2 Inc.) (MergerSub), (i) the Company acquired Legacy Warner Chilcott pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Section 201, and a capital reduction under Sections 72 and 74, of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 where each Legacy Warner Chilcott ordinary share was converted into 0.160 of Actavis plc ordinary share (the Actavis plc Ordinary Shares), or $5,833.9 million in equity consideration, and (ii) MergerSub merged with and into Actavis, Inc., with Actavis, Inc. as the surviving corporation in the merger (the Actavis Merger and, together with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Warner Chilcott Transactions). Following the consummation of the Warner Chilcott Transactions, Actavis, Inc. and Legacy Warner Chilcott became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Actavis plc. Each of Actavis, Inc.s common shares was converted into one Actavis plc Ordinary Share.
On October 31, 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Actavis Group for a cash payment of 4.2 billion, or approximately $5.5 billion, and contingent consideration of up to 5.5 million newly issued shares of Actavis, Inc., which have since been issued (the Actavis Group Acquisition). Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s Common Stock was traded on the NYSE under the symbol WPI until close of trading on January 23, 2013, at which time Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. changed its corporate name to Actavis, Inc. and changed its ticker symbol to ACT.
Effective October 1, 2013, through a series of related-party transactions, Actavis plc contributed its indirect subsidiaries, including Actavis Inc. to Warner Chilcott Limited, which is not a publicly traded entity. References throughout to we, our, us, the Company or Actavis refer to financial information and transactions of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. prior to January 23, 2013, Actavis, Inc. from January 23, 2013 until October 1, 2013 and Warner Chilcott Limited on and subsequent to October 1, 2013.

2014 Significant Business Developments
During 2014, we completed the following transactions that impacted our results of operations and will continue to have an impact on our future operations.
Acquisition of Forest
On February 17, 2014, Actavis plc entered into a Merger Agreement (the Forest Merger Agreement) by and among Actavis plc, Tango US Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (US Holdco), Tango Merger Sub 1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdco (Merger Sub 1), Tango Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdco (Merger Sub 2 and, together with Merger Sub 1, the Merger Subs) and Forest Laboratories, Inc. (now known as Forest Laboratories, LLC) (Forest).
Under the terms of the Forest Merger Agreement, the acquisition of Forest was accomplished through a merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Forest (Merger 1), with Forest being the surviving entity (the First Surviving Corporation). Immediately following the consummation of Merger 1, the First Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (Merger 2 and, together with Merger 1, the Mergers), with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity.
At the effective time of Merger 1, each share of Forests common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Merger 1 (other than dissenting shares) was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share of Forest common stock, (i) a combination of $26.04 in cash, plus .3306 Actavis plc Ordinary Shares (the Mixed Election), (ii) $86.81 in cash (the Cash Election) or (iii) .4723 Actavis plc Ordinary Shares (the Stock Election). On July 1, 2014, the transaction closed and Actavis acquired Forest for equity consideration which includes outstanding equity awards (approximately $20.6 billion) and cash consideration (approximately $7.0 billion which was funded in part with cash on hand and financing available on July 1, 2014) of approximately $27.6 billion (the Forest Acquisition). Under the terms of the transaction, Forest shareholders received 89.8 million Actavis plc ordinary shares, 6.0 million Actavis plc non-qualified stock options and 1.1 million of Actavis plc share units. The assets acquired and the results of operations of Forest will be included in Actavis plcs financial statements from the date of acquisition, July 1, 2014.
Forest was a leading, fully integrated, specialty pharmaceutical company largely focused on the United States market. Forest marketed a portfolio of branded drug products and developed new medicines to treat patients suffering from diseases principally in the following therapeutic areas: central nervous system, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, anti-infective, and cystic fibrosis.
80
As a result of the transaction, we incurred transaction and integration costs of $39.8 million, including severance-related charges of $14.8 million, financing-related charges of $5.8 million and other costs associated with the acquisition of $19.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred transaction and integration costs of $53.9 million, including severance-related charges of $14.8 million, financing-related charges of $8.7 million and other costs associated with the acquisition of $30.4 million. We also incurred $13.5 million and $23.0 million of other expenses relating to the bridge loan commitments as a result of the transaction in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
In order to complete the acquisition, we divested two Legacy Warner Chilcott products to Impax; Lamotrigine ODT and Ursodiol Tablets for cash consideration. In exchange for the products, the Company received $8.0 million on July 1, 2014. In addition, the Company and Impax entered into a supply agreement whereby we will supply product to Impax. Revenues recognized from the divested products were deminimis in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

We are accounting for the acquisition as a business combination requiring that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The agreements include three products marketed under ANDA: Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution, Levofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution and Lidocaine Hydrochloride Jelly, and one product marketed under a NDA: Lidocaine/Prilocaine Topical Cream. The Company treated the purchase of the specific products as an acquisition of a business requiring that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Included in the purchase price allocation was the fair value of inventory that the Company purchased of $0.7 million and $16.1 million for intangible assets.

The fees we paid under the Cordran Tape arrangement were recognized in the period incurred as an operating expense.

On May 1, 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire the worldwide rights to Valeants metronidazole 1.3% vaginal gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, which is being accounted for as a business combination.

Western European Assets Held for Sale
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we held for sale our commercial infrastructure in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, including products, marketing authorizations and dossier license rights.

Amendment to Sanofi Collaboration Agreement
On October 28, 2013, Warner Chilcott Company, LLC (WCCL), one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi) entered into an amendment (the Sanofi Amendment) to the global collaboration agreement as amended (the Collaboration Agreement) to which WCCL and Sanofi are parties. WCCL and Sanofi co-develop and market Actonel® and Atelvia® (risedronate sodium) on a global basis, excluding Japan.
Pursuant to the Sanofi Amendment, the parties amended the Collaboration Agreement with respect to Actonel® and Atelvia® in the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the Exclusive Territory) to provide that, in exchange for the payment of a lump sum of $125.0 million by WCCL to Sanofi in the year ended December 31, 2013, WCCLs obligations with respect to the global reimbursement payment, which represented a percentage of Actavis net sales as defined, as it relates to the Exclusive Territory for the year ended December 31, 2014, shall be satisfied in full. The Sanofi Amendment did not and does not apply to or affect the parties respective rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to (i) the year ended December 31, 2013 or (ii) territories outside the Exclusive Territory. The $125.0 million was recorded as an intangible asset during the year ended December 31, 2013, which will be amortized over the course of the year ending December 31, 2014 using the economic benefit model.

On October 1, 2013, Warner Chilcott Limited and its direct parent, Warner Chilcott plc, were acquired by Actavis plc as part of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition in a stock for stock transaction for a value, including the assumption of debt, of $9.2 billion. Legacy Warner Chilcott as a stand-alone entity was a leading specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the womens healthcare, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America. The Warner Chilcott Acquisition expands our presence in specialty brands. Warner Chilcott Limiteds financial results included in this prospectus do not include the financial results of Legacy Warner Chilcott as a stand-alone entity for any of the periods or at any of the dates presented prior to October 1, 2013.

For additional information, refer to NOTE 4Acquisitions and Other Agreements in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) in this prospectus.
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (Hart-Scott-Rodino), in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 1, 2013, four generic pharmaceutical products were sold to Amneal Pharmaceuticals for consideration of $10.0 million, subject to certain refunds of purchase price provisions, which resulted in a deminimis impact to the consolidated statement of operations. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in both oral contraception and osteoporosis treatment. Net sales of divested products included in our results of operations were $2.5 million, $4.6 million and $0.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
On October 1, 2013 in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, Actavis plc, Bank of America, N.A. (BofA), as Administrative Agent and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders became parties to the Warner Chilcott Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the WC Term Loan Agreement), pursuant to which the lenders party to the agreement provide loans to Warner Chilcott Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the US Borrower), WC Luxco S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg (the Luxembourg Borrower), and WCCL, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the Puerto Rico Borrower and, together with the US Borrower and the Luxembourg Borrower, the WC Borrowers) in an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion, comprised of (i) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2016 (the Three Year Tranche) and (ii) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2018 (the Five Year Tranche). The proceeds of borrowings under the WC Term Loan Agreement, together with $41.0 million of cash on hand, were used to finance the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under Legacy Warner Chilcotts then-existing Credit Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 20, 2012, among the WC Borrowers, BofA, as administrative agent and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders.
Palau Pharma S.A. Agreement
On August 1, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement with Palau to acquire worldwide product rights to develop and commercialize albaconazole for the treatment of candidiasis. We simultaneously entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with Palau for the supply of clinical and commercial quantities of the products. In connection with the execution of the agreements, we paid an upfront non-refundable payment of 10.0 million, or $13.4 million to Palau, which was recorded as R&D expense in the year ended December 31, 2013. The agreement also provides for certain future milestone payments up to 18.0 million in the aggregate, upon the successful completion of Phase III trials of the products and regulatory approvals.
Acquisition of Medicines360

84
the terms of the agreement, we are also required to pay Medicines360 certain regulatory and sales based milestone payments totaling up to $125.0 million plus royalties. Medicines360 retained the rights to market the product in the U.S. public sector, including family planning clinics that provide services to low-income women. LNG20, originally developed by Uteron Pharma S.P.R.L. in Belgium (now a subsidiary of the Company), is designed to deliver 20 mcg of levonorgestrel per day for the indication of long-term contraception, and is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the United States. Pending FDA approval, the LNG20 product could be launched in the U.S. as early as 2014. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $191.7 million in IPR&D, $6.7 million in prepaid R&D and contingent consideration of $146.1 million.
Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
We entered into an agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo) and Teikoku Seiyaku Co., Ltd to settle all outstanding patent litigation related to our generic version of Lidoderm®. Per the terms of the agreement, on September 15, 2013, we launched our generic version of Lidoderm® (lidocaine topical patch 5%) to customers in the U.S. more than two years before the products patents expire.

2012 Significant Business Developments
During 2012, we completed the following transactions that impacted our results of operations and will continue to have an impact on our future operations.
Acquisition of Actavis Group
On October 31, 2012, we completed the Actavis Group Acquisition. The Actavis Group was a privately held generic pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of generic pharmaceuticals. With the acquisition of the Actavis Group, the Company became the third largest global generics pharmaceutical company with operations in more than 60 countries. The acquisition expanded the Companys core leadership position in modified release, solid oral dosage and transdermal products into semi-solids, liquids and injectables. The result is a broader and more diversified global product portfolio, and an expanded development pipeline.
To finance the purchase of the Actavis Group, we incurred $5.7 billion of indebtedness, including proceeds from (i) the October 2, 2012 issuance of $3.9 billion in senior debt (the 2012 Senior Notes). This debt was issued in three tranches as follows:
| $1,200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.875% senior notes due October 1, 2017, |
| $1,700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior notes due October 1, 2022, and |
| $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior notes due October 1, 2042 |
85
In addition, on October 31, 2012, the Company borrowed $1.8 billion under a senior unsecured Term loan credit agreement (the Term Loan Credit Agreement). Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources in this prospectus. As a result of the transaction, we continue to incur greater interest expense than we incurred in prior periods and are required to dedicate cash flow to servicing our debt.
Sale of Equity Interest in Moksha8 Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On October 22, 2012, we completed the sale of Moksha8 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Moksha8) (the Moksha8 Sale). Simultaneously, we expanded our ongoing sales and marketing collaboration with Moksha8 by granting a license to Moksha8 for five new branded generic products to be developed for the Brazilian and Mexican markets in exchange for defined milestones and sales royalties. We retained generic marketing rights in each market for all products licensed to Moksha8. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $28.8 million in other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we terminated the agreement with Moksha8 resulting in a loss of $4.0 million.
Acquisition of Ascent Pharmahealth Limited
On January 24, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Ascent, the Australian and Southeast Asian generic pharmaceutical business of Strides Arcolab Ltd, for AU$376.6 million in cash, or approximately $392.6 million, including working capital adjustments. The transaction was funded using cash-on-hand and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. As a result of the acquisition, we enhanced our commercial presence in Australia and we gained selling and marketing capability in Southeast Asia through Ascents line of branded-generic and OTC products. For additional information regarding the Ascent acquisition, refer to NOTE 4Acquisitions and Other Agreements in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) in this prospectus.
Product Divestitures
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 31, 2012, a total of 22 generic pharmaceutical products owned by either Actavis Group or Watson were sold to Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $24.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in a number of therapeutic categories where the two companies owned overlapping products. Watsons net sales of divested products were $18.5 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Actavis Groups net sales of divested products were $60.8 million and $90.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The sale of the Actavis Group divested products did not have an impact on our net revenues as these amounts were not included in the results of operations of the Company for the respective periods. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no one product accounted for more than one percent of our consolidated net revenues.
Rugby OTC Business
On October 29, 2012, we completed the sale of our Rugby Group, Inc. (Rugby) OTC pharmaceutical products and trademarks to The Harvard Drug Group, L.L.C. (Harvard) (the Rugby Sale). Under the terms of the agreement, Harvard acquired the Rugby trademark and all rights to market, sell and distribute OTC products and nicotine gum products sold under the trademark. We retained all rights to manufacture, sell and distribute all store-branded OTC and nicotine gum products, as well as other non-Rugby OTC products in our portfolio. We retained ownership of our nicotine gum ANDAs, as well as nicotine gum manufacturing facilities. Also, as part of the transaction, we entered into a supply and license agreement with Harvard under which we manufacture and supply nicotine gum products sold under the Rugby and Major labels. Major is Harvards existing private label brand. In connection with the sale of the Rugby assets, we recorded a gain of $88.7 million in other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012.
86
Other Agreements
Our two most significant products in 2012 were the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER) and Lipitor® (atorvastatin), which on a combined basis comprised 9% and 25% of the Pharma revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These products were sold pursuant to exclusive marketing arrangements.
In November 2010, we entered into an exclusive agreement with OMJPI to market the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER). Under the terms of the agreement, the product is supplied by OMJPI. We launched our authorized generic of Concerta® on May 1, 2011. Under the terms of our agreement with OMJPI, we agreed to pay a royalty to OMJPI based on the gross profit of product revenues as defined in the agreements. During 2012, the royalty payable to OMJPI ranged from 50% to 55% of sales. Our royalty payable on sales of methylphenidate ER declined to 30% in 2013 when a third party competitor launched a competing bioequivalent product. The change in royalty was a one-time event and was applied on a strength-by-strength basis following the launch of the first third party generic competitor. This royalty includes the cost of the product supplied by OMJPI. The agreement with OMJPI expires on December 31, 2014 and is subject to normal and customary early termination provisions. The agreement with OMJPI has been accounted for as a distribution arrangement. Accordingly, we recorded the net sales of the authorized generic product in the period earned and reflected the cost of product sold and the royalty payments to OMJPI in costs of goods sold in the period incurred.
During 2011 and 2012, Atorvastatin was sold pursuant to an exclusive agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer). We launched our authorized generic of Lipitor® on November 30, 2011. Due to the significant decline in the market for this product, we agreed to terminate this agreement effective January 1, 2013. In exchange, we are entitled to receive a royalty on future sales of the product by Pfizer through 2015.
On July 13, 2012, we entered into a global license agreement with Synthon, obtaining an exclusive license to its trastuzumab molecule, which is being developed as a biosimilar to Herceptin®. We subsequently contributed the product to our biosimilar collaboration agreement with Amgen mentioned below. Under the terms of the Synthon agreement, we, along with Amgen, assumed all responsibility for worldwide development and commercialization of biosimilar trastuzumab, including Phase III clinical trials and global manufacturing. The agreement entitled Synthon to an initial payment and the opportunity to receive a milestone payment and royalties on net sales. Synthon also received compensation for transitional support activities provided under the agreement.
2011 Significant Business Developments
During 2011, we completed the following transactions that impacted our results of operations and will continue to have an impact on our future operations.
Biosimilars Collaboration with Amgen Inc.
On December 19, 2011, we entered into the Amgen Collaboration Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Amgen assumed primary responsibility for developing, manufacturing and initially commercializing the oncology antibody products. We agreed to contribute up to $400.0 million in co-development costs over the course of development (maximum amount of $282.2 million as of June 30, 2014), including the provision of development support, and to share product development risks. In addition, we agreed to contribute our significant expertise in the commercialization and marketing of products in highly competitive specialty and generic markets, including helping effectively manage the lifecycle of the biosimilar products. The collaboration products are expected to be sold under a joint Amgen/Actavis label. We will initially receive royalties and sales milestones from product revenues. The collaboration does not pursue biosimilars of Amgens proprietary products.
87
Acquisition of Specifar Commercial Industrial Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Construction Exploitations Societe Anonyme (ABEE)
On May 25, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Paomar PLC (Paomar) for cash totaling 400.0 million, or approximately $561.7 million at closing, subject to a net of working capital adjustment of 1.5 million, or approximately $2.2 million, and certain contingent consideration (the Specifar Acquisition). Paomar was a company incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and owner of 100 percent of the shares of Specifar Commercial Industrial Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Construction Exploitations Societe Anonyme (Specifar), a company organized under the laws of Greece. Specifar developed, manufactured and marketed generic pharmaceuticals. Specifar also out-licensed generic pharmaceutical products, primarily in Europe. Specifar had a commercial presence in the Greek branded generics pharmaceuticals market and owned 100 percent of the shares of Alet Pharmaceuticals Industrial and Commercial Societe Anonyme, a company that markets branded-generic pharmaceutical products in the Greek market. For additional information on the Specifar acquisition, refer to NOTE 4Acquisitions and Other Agreements in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) in this prospectus.
Operating results
Segments
We reported our business in two operating segments: Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution. The Actavis Pharma segment includes patent-protected products and certain trademarked off-patent products that Actavis sells and markets as brand pharmaceutical products and off-patent pharmaceutical products that are therapeutically equivalent to proprietary products. The Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by Actavis, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Actavis Pharma segment.
We evaluate segment performance based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution represents segment net revenues less cost of sales (excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles including product rights), selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. The Company does not report total assets, capital expenditures, R&D, amortization, goodwill impairments and asset sales, impairments and contingent consideration adjustment, net by segment as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, nor has such information been used by all segments. R&D related to our Actavis Pharma segment was $329.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Within R&D, $238.2 million was generic development, $42.6 million was invested in brand development and $48.7 million was invested in biosimilar development during the six months ended June 30, 2014. With the acquisition of Forest, the Company will evaluate all current R&D projects in development, including those with IPR&D assets. Some current projects being worked on may be placed on hold or terminated based upon Company priorities.

North American Brand revenues are classified based on the current mix of promoted products within Womens Health, Urology / Gastroenterology and Dermatology / Established Brands. Movement of products between categories may occur from time to time based on changes in promotional activities.
Net revenues in our Actavis Pharma segment include product sales and other revenue derived from generic, branded generic, branded and OTC products. Our Actavis Pharma segment product line includes a variety of products and dosage forms. Indications for this line include, but are not limited to, pregnancy prevention, ulcerative colitis, acne, pain management, depression, hypertension, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and smoking cessation. Dosage forms include oral solids, semi-solids, liquids, gels, transdermals, injectables, inhalation and oral transmucosals. In October 2013, as a result of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, we began promoting a number of products, including, but not limited to, Asacol® HD, Delzicol®, Doryx®, Estrace® Cream, Lo Loestrin® Fe and Minastrin® 24 Fe. Beginning on July 1, 2014, as a result of the Forest Acquisition, the Company also began promoting North American brands, including, but not limited to, Bystolic®, Daliresp®, Linzess®, Namenda®, Namenda XR®, Savella® and Vibryd®. The results of these products, and other products acquired in the Forest Acquisition will be included in the three months ending September 30, 2014.
The increase in the Actavis Pharma net revenues is primarily due to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, which contributed six months of sales in 2014 compared to no sales in the prior period ($974.5 million worldwide), including $877.3 million in North American Brands. The increase in North American Generics revenues was primarily the result of period-over-period increases in Lidocaine topical patch 5% (generic of Lidoderm®) of $251.3 million due to the timing of the launch in 2013 and Duloxetine HCI (generic of
90
Cymbalta®), which was not sold in the first six months of 2013, of $110.1 million, offset in part by declines in Methlyphenidate ER (generic of Concerta®) of $196.3 million due primarily to decreased volume. Other movements within this category are due to product mix.
Other revenues consist primarily of royalties, milestone receipts, commission income and revenue from licensing arrangements, co-promotion revenue and the recognition of deferred revenue relating to our obligation to manufacture and supply brand products to third parties. Other revenues also include revenue recognized from R&D and licensing agreements.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes production and packaging costs for the products we manufacture, third party acquisition costs for products manufactured by others, profit-sharing or royalty payments for products sold pursuant to licensing agreements, inventory reserve charges and excess capacity utilization charges, where applicable. Cost of sales does not include amortization or impairment costs for acquired product rights or other acquired intangibles.
The increase in cost of sales was due to higher product sales as a result of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($306.7 million), including the impact of selling through a portion of the inventory associated with the fair value step-up of the October 1, 2013 Legacy Warner Chilcott inventory acquired ($209.5 million). Included in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $93.5 million relating to the impact of selling through a portion of the inventory associated with the fair value step-up on inventory related to the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, product promotion costs, distribution costs, professional service costs, insurance, depreciation and travel costs.
The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to higher selling and marketing costs associated with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($115.8 million), offset, in part, by decreased spending as a result of restructuring activities related to the Actavis Group during the year ended December 31, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, transaction costs, insurance, depreciation, litigation and settlement costs and professional services costs which are general in nature.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was due in part to increased operating costs related to the expansion of the Companys size, including costs incurred by Legacy Warner Chilcott for ongoing operating expenses of $90.1 million. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2014, were costs incurred relating to the Forest Acquisition of $48.6 million. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $30.8 million of charges incurred due to the settlements of ongoing litigation, as well as $22.6 million of costs incurred for the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and other costs associated with the restructuring of the Actavis Group.

Net Revenues
Our Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by Actavis, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. Sales are principally generated through an in-house telemarketing staff and through internally developed ordering systems. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales by Anda of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Actavis Pharma segment.
The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in U.S. base product sales due to volume increases ($289.7 million) and an increase in period-over-period third party launches ($20.7 million).
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes third party acquisition costs, profit-sharing or royalty payments for products sold pursuant to licensing agreements and inventory reserve charges, where applicable. Cost of sales does not include amortization or impairment costs for other acquired intangibles.
The increase in cost of sales within our Anda Distribution segment was due to higher product sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 86.4% compared to 85.5% in the prior year period primarily due to product and customer mix.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist mainly of personnel costs, facilities costs, insurance and freight costs which support the Anda Distribution segment sales and marketing functions. Selling and marketing costs exclude fees allocated from the Anda Distribution segment for services they provide on behalf of Actavis Pharma.
The increase in selling and marketing expenses relate to higher freight costs and higher personnel costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, insurance, depreciation and professional services costs. General and administrative costs within the Actavis Pharma segment exclude fees allocated from the Anda Distribution segment for services they provide on behalf of Actavis Pharma.
General and administrative expenses were in line period-over-period.

R&D expenses consist predominantly of personnel-related costs, API costs, contract research, clinical, biostudy and facilities costs associated with product development. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher costs associated with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($38.1 million) and higher legacy spend for both generics ($35.6 million) and branded products ($23.4 million), including biologics of $14.6 million, offset, in part, by $35.4 million of income relating to the reduction of acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities, net of accretion expense, including $24.7 million associated with the write-off of contingent consideration associated with Estelle and Colvir.

Amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased as compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of amortization of identifiable assets acquired in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($567.4 million).
Goodwill Impairments
During the second quarter of 2013, concurrent with the availability of discrete financial information for our then new reporting units, we completed an extensive review of our operating businesses, including exploring options for addressing overall profitability of seven Western European commercial operations consisting of, among other things, restructuring their operations, refocusing their activities on specific sub-markets, as well as potential divestitures of such businesses to other third parties. The potential impact of these conditions was considered in our projections when determining the indicated fair value of our reporting units for the impairment tests that were performed. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge related to the goodwill in the Actavis PharmaEurope reporting unit of $647.5 million.

Bridge Loan Commitment Fee
In connection with the Forest Merger Agreement, we secured a bridge loan commitment of up to $7.0 billion and incurred associated commitment costs of $25.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an expense of $23.0 million associated with these fees.
Disposal of a business

The Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 33.8% compared to (13.5)% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was impacted by income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the Bermuda statutory rate, losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is provided, and the amortization of the step-up in inventory tax benefited at a lower rate than the Bermuda statutory rate. This was partially offset by the amortization of intangibles tax benefited at a higher rate than the Bermuda statutory rate. Additionally, the tax provision included a benefit of $9.7 million related to certain changes in the Companys uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by certain one-time non-deductible pre-tax expenses including a goodwill impairment charge of $647.5 million and a charge for consideration due to the former Actavis stakeholders of $150.3 million. This was partially offset by non-taxable pre-tax income of $15.0 million related to the Arrow Acquisition.

Period-over-period movements include the impact and timing of acquisitions from the date the assets / businesses were acquired. Most notably:
| the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 includes the revenue impact of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. The revenues recognized from the Legacy Warner Chilcott brands are primarily reflected in the North American Brands reporting unit with a portion of their revenues being recognized in the International reporting unit; and |
| the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, include the revenue impact of the Actavis Group Acquisition. The revenues recognized from the Actavis Group products are primarily reflected in the North American Generics and International reporting units. |
The increase in net revenues is primarily due to the full year North American generic and International net sales resulting from the Actavis Group Acquisition of $2,799.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 versus $428.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2012 as well as the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, which contributed three months of sales in 2013 compared to no sales in the prior period ($545.4 million).
Also contributing to the increase are higher U.S. unit sales related to new products including lidocaine topical patch 5% ($392.9 million) and mixed amphetamine (Adderall XR® CII) ($145.2 million) and the continued product sales growth from Generess® Fe and Rapaflo® and sales of Kadian® acquired as part of the Actavis Group Acquisition ($73.1 million); offset in part by lower net sales of certain U.S. products including the authorized generic version of Lipitor® (atorvastatin) ($403.6 million, of which $24.3 million is due to price and $379.3 million is due to volume) and declines in other international revenues.
97
Cost of Sales
The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to the full year manufacturing expenses of products resulting from the Actavis Group Acquisition of $1,508.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 versus $284.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2012 and higher product sales as a result of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($231.9 million), including the impact of selling through a portion of the fair value step-up of the October 1, 2013 Legacy Warner Chilcott inventory ($173.5 million).
Also contributing to the increase were increased product volume primarily from Generess® Fe, Rapaflo® and Kadian® and contingent consideration fair value adjustments associated with previous business combinations, new product launches including the September 2013 launch of a generic version of Lidoderm® (lidocaine topical patch 5%) ($120.5 million) and mixed ampethamine (Adderall XR® CII) ($36.1 million), offset, in part by a decrease in costs resulting from lower Lipitor® sales ($251.6 million).
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The increase in selling and marketing expenses within our Pharma segment was primarily due to the full year effect of higher selling and marketing expenses incurred resulting from the Actavis Group Acquisition ($427.7 million) compared to only two months in 2012 ($74.0 million) as well as higher selling and marketing costs associated with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($81.2 million) including co-promotion costs to Sanofi ($44.6 million).
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses was due in part to the increase resulting from the global costs relating to the Actavis Group Acquisition of $241.9 million, higher legacy domestic costs including increased personnel, legal fees and other costs, costs incurred by Legacy Warner Chilcott for restructuring charges of $124.7 million including stock-based compensation ($45.4 million), costs incurred in order to complete to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($28.1 million) and higher stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes resulting from the acceleration of directors and named executive officers unvested equity-based awards immediately prior to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($41.3 million).

Loss on assets held for sale relates to the Companys announced intention in 2013 to sell Pharmas infrastructure in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, including products, marketing authorizations and dossier license rights and the Companys announced Foshan Sale.
Loss on asset sales, other impairments and contingent considerations, net for the year ended December 31, 2013 included a charge associated with the issuance of an additional 1.65 million shares of Ordinary Shares in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition ($150.3 million), an impairment charge related to a facility in Greece ($19.4 million), an impairment of fixed assets in Serbia ($24.2 million), an impairment of a product right intangible asset in connection with the Specifar Acquisition ($13.9 million), the impairment of the Gabapentin asset acquired as part of the Actavis Group Acquisition ($10.8 million), a loss on the termination of the agreement with Moksha8 ($4.0 million), an impairment of IPR&D intangibles in connection with the December 2, 2009 acquisition of all the outstanding equity of the Arrow Group in exchange for cash consideration of $1.05 billion, approximately 16.9 million shares of our Restricted Ordinary Shares and 200,000 shares of our Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock and certain contingent consideration (the Arrow Group Acquisition) and the impairment of the Curosurf assets ($2.5 million), offset, in part, by gains related to the sale of our Russian subsidiary ($11.7 million), a manufacturing facility in India ($4.5 million), and other miscellaneous gains. The impairment charges recognized were due to various factors impacting future value to be realized by such assets.
Loss on asset sales and impairments for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a non-cash impairment charge related to product rights and IPR&D intangible assets acquired in connection with the Specifar Acquisition ($117.8 million, of which $101.0 million related to IPR&D and $16.8 million related to product rights), an impairment charge related to a manufacturing facility located in Greece ($40.3 million), an impairment related to the sale of a German subsidiary ($17.6 million) and an impairment related to API manufacturing assets in India ($1.6 million). Partially offsetting these charges was a fair value adjustment of the contingent obligation due to the Specifar selling shareholders based on esomeprazole gross profits ($27.5 million) and net gains on miscellaneous asset sales ($0.3 million). The impairment relating to the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Specifar acquisition was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012 and related to esomeprazole product rights following the Companys decision to discontinue selling the product as a result of products acquired in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition ($16.8 million). In addition, we recorded during the second quarter of 2012 a charge related to three products in development as a result of various factors occurring during the same period mainly related to delays in expected launch dates, competitive factors resulting in realization of lower pricing and incremental costs related to manufacturing efforts. These events led to revised estimates of the fair value of each IPR&D asset compared to the carrying values ($101.0 million). The impairment for the Greece facility was due to a change in the intended use of the facility as a result of the Companys decision during the third quarter of 2012 to discontinue further construction as a result of the planned acquisition of the Actavis Group.

Gain on Sale of Divested Products
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 1, 2013, four generic pharmaceutical products were sold to Amneal Pharmaceuticals for consideration of $10.0 million, subject to certain refunds of purchase price provisions, which resulted in a deminimis impact on net income. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in both oral contraceptive and osteoporosis treatment. Net sales of divested products were $2.5 million, $4.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 31, 2012, a total of 22 generic pharmaceutical products owned by either Actavis Group or Watson were sold to Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $24.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in a number of therapeutic categories where the two companies owned overlapping products.
Gain on Sale of Business
As a result of the sale of our Changzhou Watson Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd (Changzhou) business to Great Harmony Enterprises Limited, a Hong Kong Company (the Changzhou Sale), we recorded a gain of $2.3 million in other income (expense), in the year ended December 31, 2013.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
As a result of the extinguishment of our $450.0 million notes, we recorded a loss of $17.1 million in other income (expense), in the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company incurred a $1.5 million non-cash write-off of deferred loan costs in connection with the optional prepayment of term loan indebtedness.
Loss on Foreign Exchange Derivative
Included in the year ended December 31, 2012 is approximately $70.4 million of realized losses for the derivative instruments entered into to mitigate the exposure resulting from movements of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Bridge Loan Expenses
Included in the year ended December 31, 2012 is approximately $37.1 million for the expenses of the bridge loan entered into to fund the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Other Income
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes a gain from the release of funds held in an escrow account established in connection with the Arrow Acquisition ($15.0 million), a gain on foreign currency derivative transactions ($14.1 million) and a gain on the sale of securities ($1.1 million), offset in part by the release of an indemnification receivable established in connection with an acquisition ($8.8 million).
Included in other income for the year ended December 31, 2012 is a $3.0 million contract termination settlement received by an equity method investee and a $0.8 million gain related to the revaluation of securities issued by an equity method investee.

Effective tax rate |
(18.2 | )% | 59.9 | % |
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 was impacted by certain non-deductible pre-tax expenses including a goodwill impairment charge of $647.5 million, a charge for consideration due to the former Actavis Group stakeholders of $150.3 million and non-deductible executive compensation. In addition, the pre-tax expense for the amortization of Legacy Warner Chilcotts inventory and intangible step-up resulted in a rate detriment of $152.8 million. These items were partially offset by non-taxable pre-tax income of $15.0 million related to the Arrow Acquisition and $50.2 million primarily related to the carryback of current year capital losses against prior year capital gains. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was impacted by the non-deductibility of a loss from foreign exchange derivatives partially offset by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities relating to the Ascent Acquisition. The effective tax rate was also impacted by losses in certain non-US jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is provided and the amortization of intangible assets being tax benefited at a lower rate than the U.S. federal tax rate.

We completed three acquisitions within the relevant periods that contributed to the year-over-year net revenue increase. During 2012, Actavis Group contributed two months of sales compared to no sales in the prior period ($428.3 million), Specifar contributed twelve months of sales in 2012 compared to seven months in 2011 and Ascent contributed twelve months of sales in 2012 compared to no sales in 2011 ($637.9 million on a combined basis for all three acquisitions). In addition to the acquisitions, the increase in net revenues were due to increased unit sales of authorized generic versions of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER) and Lipitor® (atorvastatin) ($280.2 million), which we launched in May 2011 and November 2011, respectively, increased U.S. unit sales related to new products including enoxaparin, progesterone capsules, levalbuterol, vancomycin hydrochloride, metformin hydrochloride extended-release, morphine sulfate extended-release and trospium choride ($247.2 million), and new brand products including Generess® Fe, sodium ferric gluconate and Kadian®, which was acquired as part of the Actavis Group Acquisition and key promoted products including Rapaflo®, Crinone® and INFeD® ($46.7 million). These increases were partially offset by price and unit sales declines due to competition including metoprolol, potassium XR and fentanyl transdermal system ($116.2 million).
104
Cost of Sales
The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to product costs on atorvastatin, enoxaparin, metformin hydrochloride extended-release, progesterone capsules ($182.5 million) and increased unit sales as a result of the Actavis Group, Ascent and Specifar acquisitions in October 2012, January 2012 and May 2011, respectively ($406.6 million).
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The increase in selling and marketing expenses within our Pharma segment was primarily due to higher selling and marketing expenses incurred resulting from the Actavis Group, Ascent and Specifar acquisitions ($112.6 million), higher U.S. field force and support costs ($7.3 million), primarily related to increased headcount and higher commercial spending in Canada ($11.2 million), offset, in part, by lower U.S. product promotional spending ($11.9 million).
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher acquisition, integration and restructuring costs ($103.1 million), higher costs ($61.1 million) resulting from the Actavis Group, Ascent and Specifar acquisitions in October 2012, January 2012 and May 2011, respectively, higher litigation charges ($82.7 million) and higher legal costs ($16.3 million).

Net Revenues
The increase in net revenues compared to the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in third-party new product launches ($180.4 million) and an increase in U.S. base product sales, which includes volume increases in both generic and branded pharmaceutical product sales, offset, in part, by price declines ($29.7 million).
Cost of Sales
The increase in cost of sales compared to the prior year period was due to higher product sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 85.8% compared to 84.1% in the prior year period primarily due to an increase of sales to chain customers at lower than average margins.
105
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The increase in selling and marketing expenses compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher freight costs ($6.6 million), higher expenses associated with relocating our Groveport, Ohio distribution operations to the Olive Branch, Mississippi facility ($3.1 million) and higher sales related expenses ($2.4 million).
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, insurance, depreciation, litigation and settlement costs and professional services costs which are general in nature.

The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher costs associated with the Actavis Group Acquisition ($41.8 million), an increase in biosimilar product development costs including rFSH and products being developed under our collaboration agreement with Amgen ($59.6 million) and higher contractual in-licensing costs ($13.5 million), offset, in part, by a prior year fair value adjustment of certain contingent obligations relating to the acquisition of our progesterone business from Columbia Labs ($7.7 million), which lowered R&D expense in the prior year and by declines in domestic generic spending.

$ | 149.5 | $ | 78.7 | $ | 70.8 | 90.0 | % |
Loss on asset sales and impairments for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a non-cash impairment charge related to product rights and IPR&D intangible assets acquired in connection with the Specifar Acquisition ($117.8 million, of which $101.0 million related to IPR&D and $16.8 million related to product rights), an impairment charge related to a manufacturing facility located in Greece ($40.3 million), an impairment related to the sale of a German subsidiary ($17.6 million) and an impairment related to API
106
manufacturing assets in India ($1.6 million). Partially offsetting these charges was a fair value adjustment of the contingent obligation due to the Specifar selling shareholders based on esomeprazole gross profits ($27.5 million) and net gains on miscellaneous asset sales ($0.3 million). The impairment relating to the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Specifar acquisition was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012 and related to esomeprazole product rights following the Company decision to discontinue selling the product as a result of products acquired in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition ($16.8 million). In addition, we recorded during the second quarter of 2012 a charge related to three products in development as a result of various factors occurring during the same period mainly related to delays in expected launch dates, competitive factors resulting in realization of lower pricing and incremental costs related to manufacturing efforts. These events led to revised estimates of the fair value of each IPR&D asset compared to the carrying values ($101.0 million). The impairment for the Greece facility was due to a change in the intended use of the facility as a result of the Companys decision during the third quarter of 2012 to discontinue further construction as a result of the planned acquisition of the Actavis Group.
Loss on assets sales and impairments for the year ended December 31, 2011 included an impairment charge of IPR&D intangibles assets relating to progesterone gel business acquired from Columbia ($75.8 million), impairment charges of IPR&D intangible assets acquired as part of the December 2, 2009 acquisition of the Arrow Group ($27.0 million), impairment charges related to the sale of our Australia R&D facility and two buildings at our Copiague, New York manufacturing facility ($14.4 million), an other-than-temporary impairment charges related to equity-method investments ($9.4 million) and a loss on the sale of an equity method investment ($2.4 million). These amounts were offset by fair value adjustments of certain contingent obligations relating to the acquisition of our progesterone gel business from Columbia Labs ($49.0 million) and net gains on the sale of certain assets ($1.3 million).

As a result of the Rugby Sale, we recorded a gain of $88.7 million in other income (expense), in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Gain on Sale of Investments
As a result of the Moksha8 Sale, we recorded a gain of $28.8 million in other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Gain on Sale of Divested Products
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 31, 2012, a total of 22 generic pharmaceutical products owned by either Actavis Group or Watson were sold to Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $24.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in a number of therapeutic categories where the two companies owned overlapping products.
Loss on Foreign Exchange Derivative
Included in the year ended December 31, 2012 is approximately $70.4 million of realized losses for the derivative instruments entered into to mitigate the exposure resulting from movements of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Bridge Loan Expenses
Included in the year ended December 31, 2012 is approximately $37.1 million for the expenses of the bridge loan entered into to fund the Actavis Group Acquisition.

Effective tax rate |
59.9 | % | 43.2 | % |
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to the inability to tax benefit losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions and the amortization and impairment of foreign intangibles being tax benefited at rates that are lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate.
The higher effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily a result of additional amortization relating to certain of our foreign intangibles which are tax benefited at rates lower than the U.S. federal rate. In addition, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 included certain non-recurring items such as an impairment charge being tax benefited at a lower tax rate than the U.S. federal rate and a non deductible loss from a foreign exchange derivative for which no tax benefit was provided. These increases to the effective tax rate were partially offset by the reversal of a deferred tax liability related to the Ascent Acquisition.

Working capital excluding assets held for sale, net, increased $2,113.8 million to $3,315.3 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $1,181.5 million at December 31, 2013. This increase is due primarily to net proceeds received in connection with the 2014 New Notes issuance of approximately $3,650.0 million, which was used in part to fund the Forest Acquisition on July 1, 2014 and net income excluding non-cash charges of $1,285.8 million, offset in part by an increase in the current portion of long-term debt due to the classification of the WC Notes, a decrease in inventories, primarily due to the portion of the fair value step-up of the October 1, 2013 Legacy Warner Chilcott inventory acquired that was sold in the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $209.5 million.

Cash flows from operations represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities increased $594.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 versus the prior year period, due primarily to an increase in net income, adjusted for non-cash activity of $737.0 million ($1,279.1 million and $542.1 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash activity in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively), offset, in part, by a decrease in working capital movements.
Cash provided by operating activities increased $541.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 versus the prior year period, due primarily to an increase in net income, adjusted for non-cash activity of $656.9 million ($1,403.0 million and $746.1 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash activity in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively), offset, in part, by certain working capital movements including the payment of liabilities assumed in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition relating to tax liabilities associated with the employee stock based compensation awards that vested on October 1, 2013 ($34.3 million).

WC Term Loan Agreement
On October 1, 2013, Warner Chilcott Corporation (WC Corporation), WC Luxco S.à r.l. (WC Luxco), WCCL (WC Company and, together with WC Corporation and WC Luxco, the WC Borrowers), as borrowers, and Warner Chilcott Finance LLC, as a subsidiary guarantor, became parties to the WC Term Loan Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2013, by and among the Company, as parent guarantor, Bank of America (BofA), as administrative agent thereunder and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders. Pursuant to the WC Term Loan Agreement, on October 1, 2013, the lenders party thereto provided term loans to the WC Borrowers in a total aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion, comprised of (i) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2016 (the Three Year Tranche) and (ii) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2018 (the Five Year Tranche). The proceeds of borrowings under the WC Term Loan Agreement, together with $41.0 million of cash on hand, were used to finance, the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under Legacy Warner Chilcotts then-existing Credit Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 20, 2012, among the WC Borrowers, BofA, as administrative agent and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders.
Borrowings under the WC Term Loan Agreement bear interest at the applicable WC Borrowers choice of a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin per annum varying from (x) 0.00% per annum to 0.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 0.125% per annum to 0.875% per annum under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the publicly announced debt ratings for non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term indebtedness of the parent (such applicable debt rating the Debt Rating) or (b) a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin varying from (x) 1.00% per annum to 1.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 1.125% per annum to 1.875% per annum under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the Debt Rating.
The outstanding principal amount of loans under the Three Year Tranche is not subject to quarterly amortization and shall be payable in full on October 1, 2016.

The Existing ACT Term Loan Agreement together with the ACT Term Loan Amendment is referred to herein as the ACT Term Loan Agreement. The ACT Term Loan Agreement became effective in accordance with its terms on March 31, 2014.
The Amended and Restated Term Loan provides that loans thereunder will bear interest, at the Companys choice, of a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate, plus an applicable margin per annum varying from 0.00% per annum to 1.00% per annum depending on the Debt Rating or (b) a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin varying from 1.00% per annum to 2.00% per annum depending on the Debt Rating.

The ACT Term Loan Agreement contains covenants that are substantially similar to those in the Companys Amended and Restated Revolver (defined below). The ACT Term Loan Agreement contains standard events of default (the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts outstanding under the ACT Term Loan Agreement). The ACT Term Loan Agreement became effective in accordance with its terms on October 1, 2013.
The Company is subject to, and at June 30, 2014 was in compliance with, all financial and operational covenants under the terms of the ACT Term Loan Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility
On October 1, 2013 and pursuant to the Revolver Loan Amendment Agreement (the Revolver Amendment Agreement and, together with the Term Amendment Agreement, the Amendment Agreements), by and among Actavis, Inc., as subsidiary guarantor, BofA, as administrative agent thereunder, and the lenders party thereto, dated as of August 1, 2013, the Company, as parent guarantor, the ACT Borrower, as borrower, Actavis, Inc., as a subsidiary guarantor, and BofA, as administrative agent, entered into that certain Amended and Restated Actavis Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the ACT Revolving Credit Agreement and, together with the ACT Term Loan Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreements), dated as of October 1, 2013. The ACT Revolving Credit Agreement amended and restated Actavis, Inc.s $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility dated as of September 16, 2011, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the credit agreement and joinder agreement, dated as of May 21, 2012.

Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the ACT Revolving Credit Agreement may be made in alternative currencies, including Euros, British Pounds Sterling and other currencies. The ACT Revolving Credit Agreement contains sublimits on letters of credit and swingline loans in the amount of $100.0
115
million and $50.0 million, respectively. The issuance of letters of credit and borrowings of swingline loans reduces the amount available to be borrowed under the ACT Revolving Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Amounts borrowed under the ACT Revolving Credit Agreement may be used to finance working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The ACT Revolving Credit Agreement imposes certain customary restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on the incurrence of debt or liens upon the assets of us or our subsidiaries, investments and restricted payments. The ACT Revolving Credit Agreement includes a consolidated leverage ratio covenant, as defined, whereby we are permitted to have a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company of up to (i) with respect to the four consecutive fiscal quarters from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2013, 4.25 to 1.00; (ii) with respect to the four consecutive fiscal quarters from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, 4.00 to 1.00; and (iii) with respect to the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending from January 1, 2015 and thereafter, 3.50 to 1.00.

(3) | Amount represents operating leases for our global business. There are no contingent rental amounts or sublease rentals. |
(4) | Amount represents capital leases for our global business. Leases are for property, plant and equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures. |
(5) | We have future potential milestone payments and co-development expenses payable to third parties as part of our licensing, development and co-development programs. Payments under these agreements generally become due and are payable upon the satisfaction or achievement of certain developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones or as development expenses are incurred on defined projects. Amounts represent contractual payment obligations due as actual expenditures are incurred by our partners or upon the achievement of developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones based on anticipated approval dates assuming all milestone approval events are met, the most significant of which are future potential co-development costs under the Amgen Collaboration Agreement. At December 31, 2013, our maximum potential remaining co-development obligation under the Amgen Collaboration Agreement was $312.4 million. |
Other significant milestone payments include:
| Amounts owed to PregLem, to develop and, if approved, market products under development in the United States and Canada of $74.0 million relating to Esmya in the United States and Fibristal in Canada; |
| Amounts owed to Medicines360 relating to LNG 20 in the United States and Canada of $122.5 million; |
| Amounts owed to Valeant upon the FDA approval of Metronidazole 1.3% vaginal gel antibiotic development product of $9.0 million; |
119
| Amounts owed to Palau to develop and, if approved, market albaconazole for the treatment of candidiasis of $18.0 million; |
| Amounts owed to Dong-A PharmTech Co. Ltd. (Dong-A), to develop and, if approved, market its orally-administered udenafil product, a PDE5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in the United States of $13.0 million; |
| Amounts owed to Paratek Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Paratek) under which it acquired certain rights to novel tetracyclines under development for the treatment of acne and rosacea of $21.0 million; and |
| Amounts owed to Dong-A for the right to develop, and if approved, market in the United States and Canada, Dong-As udenafil product for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) of $25.0 million |
Milestone payment obligations are uncertain, including the prediction of timing and the occurrence of events triggering a future obligation and are not reflected as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Amounts in the table above do not include royalty obligations on future sales of product as the timing and amount of future sales levels and costs to produce products subject to milestone obligations is not reasonably estimable.
(6) | Other obligations and commitments include agreements to purchase third-party manufactured products, capital purchase obligations for the construction or purchase of property, plant and equipment and the liability for income tax associated with uncertain tax positions. |
(7) | Total does not include contractual obligations already included in current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (except for capital leases and the current portion of long-term debt) or certain purchase obligations, which are discussed below. |
For purposes of the table above, obligations for the purchase of goods or services are included only for purchase orders that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the timing of the obligation. Our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs and are typically fulfilled by our suppliers within a relatively short period. At December 31, 2013, we have open purchase orders that represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements that are not included in the table above.
We are involved in certain equity investments that are intended to complement our core business and markets. We have the discretion to provide funding on occasion for working capital or capital expenditures. We make an evaluation of additional funding based on an assessment of the ventures business opportunities. We believe that any possible commitments arising from the current arrangements will not be significant to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results,
120
our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting estimates that we believe are important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
| Revenue and Provision for Sales Returns, Allowances and Other Trade-Related Deductions |
| Revenue Recognition Including Multiple-Element Arrangements |
| Inventory Valuation |
| Product Rights and other Definite-Lived Intangible Assets |
| Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite-Lives |
| Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed |
| Contingent Consideration and Other Commitments |
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and requires managements best estimates of the underlying data in its application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting among available GAAP alternatives would not produce a materially different result.
Revenue Recognition Including Multiple-Element Arrangements
General
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds, the sellers price to the buyer to be fixed or determinable and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, billback adjustments, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee for service arrangements with certain distributors, which we refer to in the aggregate as SRA allowances.
Royalty and commission revenue is recognized as a component of net revenues in accordance with the terms of their respective contractual agreements when collectability is reasonably assured and when revenue can be reasonably measured.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
The Company identifies each discrete deliverable included in a multiple-element arrangement and identifies which of those deliverables have standalone value to the customer under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements (ASC 605-25) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Deliverable Revenue (ASU No. 2009-13). The Company allocates arrangement consideration to the deliverables based on the appropriate selling price using the hierarchy outlined in ASC 605-25, as amended by ASU No. 2009-13. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. BESP is determined in a manner consistent with that used to establish the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. Revenue is recognized for each unit of accounting based on the relevant authoritative literature for that deliverable.
121
Contingency-Adjusted Performance Model
Revenues recognized from research, development and licensing agreements (including milestone receipts) are recorded on the contingency-adjusted performance model which requires deferral of revenue until such time as contract milestone requirements have been met. Under this model, revenue related to each payment is recognized over the entire contract performance period, starting with the contracts commencement, but not prior to earning and/or receiving the milestone amount (i.e., removal of any contingency). The amount of revenue recognized is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated cost to be incurred. In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In order to recognize milestone consideration as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, there needs to be substantive certainty that the milestone will be achieved, relate solely to past performance and the consideration needs to be commensurate with the Companys performance. Factors the Company considers in determining whether a milestone is substantive at the inception of an arrangement include: whether substantive effort will be required to achieve the milestone; what labor, skill, and other costs will be incurred to achieve the milestone; how certain the achievement of the milestone is; whether a reasonable amount of time will elapse between any upfront payment and the first milestone as well as between each successive milestone; and, whether the milestone is nonrefundable or contains clawback provisions.
Provisions for SRAs
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When the Company recognizes gross revenue from the sale of products, an estimate of SRA is recorded, which reduces the gross product revenues. Accounts receivable and/or accrued liabilities are also reduced and/or increased by the SRA amount. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical relationship of the deductions to gross product revenues, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract sales terms with direct and indirect customers. The estimation process used to determine our SRA provision has been applied on a consistent basis and no material revenue adjustments have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. The Company uses a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of the SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated. This includes periodic reviews of customer inventory data, customer contract programs and product pricing trends to analyze and validate the SRA reserves.
ChargebacksA chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesalers customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Companys chargeback payments. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is fairly stated.
RebatesRebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally offered to customers as an incentive to use the Companys products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third party rebates is estimated based on our customers contracted rebate programs and the Companys historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to
122
our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states / authorities, contractual terms, as well as government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.
Cash DiscountsCash discounts are provided to customers that pay within a specific period. The provision for cash discounts is estimated based upon invoice billings, utilizing historical customer payment experience. The Companys experience of payment history is fairly consistent and most customer payments qualify for the cash discount. Accordingly, our reserve for cash discounts is readily determinable.
Returns and Other AllowancesThe Companys provision for returns and other allowances include returns, pricing adjustments, promotional allowances, loyalty cards and billback adjustments.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Companys policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Companys estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.
Pricing adjustments, which includes shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued to reflect price decreases in selling prices charged to the Companys direct customers. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product our customers have in their inventory at the time of an agreed-upon price reduction. The provision for shelf stock adjustments is based upon specific terms with the Companys direct customers and includes estimates of existing customer inventory levels based upon their historical purchasing patterns. We regularly monitor all price changes to evaluate the Companys reserve balances. The adequacy of these reserves is readily determinable as pricing adjustments and shelf stock adjustments are negotiated and settled on a customer-by-customer basis.
Promotional allowances are credits that are issued in connection with a product launch or as an incentive for customers to carry our product. The Company establishes a reserve for promotional allowances based upon contractual terms.
Billback adjustments are credits that are issued to certain customers who purchase directly from us as well as indirectly through a wholesaler. These credits are issued in the event there is a difference between the customers direct and indirect contract price. The provision for billbacks is estimated based upon historical purchasing patterns of qualified customers who purchase product directly from us and supplement their purchases indirectly through our wholesale customers.
Loyalty cards allow the end user patients a discount per prescription and is accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.
The Company does not expect future payments of SRAs to materially exceed our current estimates. However, if future SRA payments were to materially exceed our estimates, such adjustments may have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Included in the tables above are accounts receivable deductions within SRAs of $1,254.8 million and $814.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. SRA balances in accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 increased $440.5 million compared to December 31, 2012. SRAs within accounts payable and accrued expenses were $719.0 million and $634.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $84.6 million. The primary driver to the overall increase was the impact of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($387.9 million).
The provision for chargebacks as a percentage of gross product sales has decreased from 17.9% in 2011 to 16.1% in 2012 and 16.4% in 2013 primarily related to growth of international revenues as a result of the acquisitions of Specifar in 2011, and Ascent and Actavis in January and October 2012, respectively, in the Pharma Segment. The provision for rebates as a percentage of gross product sales has increased from 15.2% in 2011, to 15.7% in 2012 and to 16.4% in 2013 primarily related to the increase in commercial rebates of the branded business due in large part to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the growth of international revenues as a result of the acquisitions of Specifar in 2011 and Ascent and Actavis in January and October 2012, respectively, in the Pharma segment. Returns and other allowances increased due to returns for new product launches and other allowances related to new product launches and customer and product mix. The increase in provision for cash discounts is due to the acquisitions of Specifar, Ascent, Actavis and Legacy Warner Chilcott.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories consist of finished goods held for distribution, raw materials and work in process. Included in inventory are generic pharmaceutical products that are capitalized only when the bioequivalence of the product is
124
demonstrated or the product is already FDA approved and is awaiting a contractual triggering event to enter the marketplace. Inventory valuation reserves are established based on a number of factors/situations including, but not limited to, raw materials, work in process, or finished goods not meeting product specifications, product obsolescence, or application of the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). The determination of events requiring the establishment of inventory valuation reserves, together with the calculation of the amount of such reserves may require judgment. Assumptions utilized in our quantification of inventory reserves include, but are not limited to, estimates of future product demand, consideration of current and future market conditions, product net selling price, anticipated product launch dates, potential product obsolescence and other events relating to special circumstances surrounding certain products. No material adjustments have been required to our inventory reserve estimates for the periods presented. Adverse changes in assumptions utilized in our inventory reserve calculations could result in an increase to our inventory valuation reserves and higher cost of sales.
Product Rights and Other Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Our product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the economic benefit model or the straight-line method, if results are materially aligned, over their estimated useful lives. We determine amortization periods for product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets based on our assessment of various factors impacting estimated useful lives and cash flows. Such factors include the products position in its life cycle, the existence or absence of like products in the market, various other competitive and regulatory issues, and contractual terms. Significant changes to any of these factors may result in a reduction in the intangibles useful life and an acceleration of related amortization expense, which could cause our operating income, net income and earnings per share to decline.
Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an assets carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value, calculated using a discounted future cash flow method. The computed impairment loss is recognized in net income / (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs. Assets which are not impaired may require an adjustment to the remaining useful lives for which to amortize the asset. Our projections of discounted cash flows use a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other definite-lived intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the fair value of the other definite-lived intangible assets which could trigger impairment.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite-Lives
We test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite-lives for impairment annually at the end of the second quarter by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to the respective carrying value of the reporting units. Additionally, we may perform tests between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income and this could result in a material reduction in net income / (loss) and earnings per share. During the 2013 integration of the Actavis Group with the Watson business, we reorganized our organizational structure and management performance reporting. Consequently, the reporting units within our Pharma operating segment were organized as follows as the time of
125
our annual impairment test: Americas; Europe; MEAAP; and Third-Party Business. These reporting units combine the Watson and Actavis Group businesses. Previously, goodwill for the Watsons Global Generics operating segment was tested as one unit.
During the second quarter of 2013, concurrent with the availability of discrete financial information for the then new reporting units, we completed an extensive review of our operating businesses, including exploring options for addressing overall profitability of seven Western European commercial operations consisting of, among other things, restructuring their operations, refocusing their activities on specific sub-markets, as well as potential divestitures of such businesses to other third parties. The potential impact of these conditions were considered in our projections when determining the indicated fair value of our reporting units for the impairment tests that were performed during the second quarter of this year. Upon completion of step one of the impairment analysis for each of our reporting units, it was concluded the fair value of the PharmaEurope reporting unit was below its carrying value including goodwill. This was primarily related to the integration of our Arrow Group with the Actavis Group in Europe. The fair value of our reporting units was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using managements business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows for approximately five years and residual growth rates ranging from 2% to 4% thereafter. Management believes that the assumptions it used for the impairment tests performed are consistent with those that would be utilized by a market participant in performing similar valuations of our reporting units. A separate discount rate was utilized for each reporting unit that was derived from published sources and, on a weighted average basis, a discount rate of 8% was utilized using our weighted average cost of capital, which considered the overall inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return a market participant would expect. As a result of completing step two of our impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment of the PharmaEurope reporting unit of $647.5 million, representing primarily all the goodwill allocated to this reporting unit, in the year ended December 31, 2013.
During the second quarter of 2012, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill, IPR&D intangible assets and trade name intangibles assets with indefinite-lives. The Company determined there was no impairment associated with goodwill or trade name intangible assets.
IPR&D intangible assets represent the value assigned to acquired research and development projects that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that we have acquired with respect to products and/or processes that have not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Impairment testing will require the development of significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development costs, selling and marketing costs), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk and regulatory risk. Changes in these assumptions or uncertainties could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge associated with Gabapentin of $10.8 million, acquired as part of the Actavis Group Acquisition, a $4.4 million impairment charge associated with the Arrow Group Acquisition and an impairment of a product right intangible asset in connection with the Specifar Acquisition for $13.9 million. During 2012, we recorded a $101.0 million impairment charge related to certain IPR&D assets acquired in the Specifar Acquisition. The impairments were related to delays in expected launch dates, and other competitive factors that resulted in lower forecasted pricing and additional projected manufacturing costs. These events led us to revise the estimated fair value of these IPR&D assets compared to the carrying values. In 2011, we recorded $102.8 million of impairment charges related to certain IPR&D assets due to changes in market conditions in certain international locations and forecasted performance of certain products not yet launched.
126
Upon successful completion of each project and approval of the product, we will make a separate determination of useful life of the intangible, transfer the amount to currently marketed products and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.
Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the underlying net assets of the acquired business based on their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Intangible assets, including IPR&D assets upon successful completion of the project and approval of the product, are amortized to amortization expense over the expected life of the asset. Significant judgments are used in determining the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in determining estimates of useful lives of long-lived assets. Fair value determinations and useful life estimates are based on, among other factors, estimates of expected future net cash flows, estimates of appropriate discount rates used to present value expected future net cash flow streams, the timing of approvals for IPR&D projects and the timing of related product launch dates, the assessment of each assets life cycle, the impact of competitive trends on each assets life cycle and other factors. These judgments can materially impact the estimates used to allocate acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the future useful lives. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Contingent Consideration and Other Commitments
We determine the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates, post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations including contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement. The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Adverse changes in assumptions utilized in our contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase in our contingent consideration obligation and a corresponding charge to operating income.
We are involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of our business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. We record reserves related to these legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable. Refer to NOTE 21Commitment and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this prospectus for a description of our significant current legal proceedings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The issuance of these documents
127
completes the joint effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue RecognitionConstruction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU.
The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on future financial positions and results of operations.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion provides forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. Market risk represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the value of financial instruments. The risk of loss is assessed based on the likelihood of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows or future earnings. We are exposed to market risk for changes in the market values of our investments (Investment Risk) and the impact of interest rate changes (Interest Rate Risk) and the impact of foreign currency exchange changes (Foreign Currency Exchange Risk).
We maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and government agency obligations with ratings of A or better and money market funds. Our investments in marketable securities are governed by our investment policy which seeks to preserve the value of our principal, provide liquidity and maximize return on the Companys investment against minimal interest rate risk. Consequently, our interest rate and principal risk are minimal on our non-equity investment portfolio. The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth below.
Investment Risk
As of June 30, 2014, our total investments in marketable and equity securities of other companies, including equity method investments were $13.1 million (included in marketable securities and investments and other assets). The fair values of these investments are subject to significant fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market and changes in general economic conditions.
We regularly review the carrying value of our investments and identify and recognize losses, for income statement purposes, when events and circumstances indicate that any declines in the fair values of such investments below our accounting basis are other than temporary.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our non-equity investment portfolio and our floating rate debt. Our cash is invested in bank deposits and A-rated or better money market mutual funds.
Our portfolio of marketable securities includes U.S. treasury and agency securities classified as available-for-sale securities, with no security having a maturity in excess of two years. These securities are exposed to interest rate fluctuations. Because of the short-term nature of these investments, we are subject to minimal interest rate risk and do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a significant negative impact on the realized value of our portfolio.
Floating Rate Debt
At June 30, 2014, borrowings outstanding under the WC Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated Term Loan were $3,023.4 million. Assuming a one percent increase in the applicable interest rate, annual interest expense under the WC Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated ACT Term Loan would increase by approximately $30.2 million over the next twelve months.
Fixed Rate Debt
The Company has indebtedness outstanding under its senior notes. Changes in market interest rates generally affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt, but do not impact earnings or cash flows.
129
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We operate and transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company manages this foreign currency risk, in part, through operational means including managing foreign currency revenues in relation to same currency costs as well as managing foreign currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities. The Company is also exposed to the potential earnings effects from intercompany foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from normal trade receivables and payables and other intercompany loans. The Company seeks to limit exposure to foreign exchange risk involving intercompany trade receivables and payables by settling outstanding amounts through normal payment terms. Other methodologies to limit the Companys foreign exchange risks are being reviewed currently which may include foreign exchange forward contracts or options.
Net foreign currency gains and losses did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013, respectively.
Other
We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our revenues or operations.
At this time, we have no material commodity price risks.

On August 1, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement with Palau to acquire worldwide product rights to develop and commercialize albaconazole for the treatment of candidiasis.

134
distribute the product in the U.S. Additionally, we were granted the exclusive right by Valeant to co-promote Zovirax® cream (acyclovir 5%) to obstetricians and gynecologists in the U.S. and we granted Valeant the exclusive right to co-promote our Cordran® Tape (flurandrenolide) product in the U.S. Under the terms of the agreement related to the co-promotion of Zovirax® cream, we will utilize our existing sales and marketing structure to promote the product and we will receive a co-promotion fee from sales generated by prescriptions written by our defined targeted physician group. The fees earned under the Zovirax cream co-promotion arrangement will be recognized in other revenues in the period earned. Under the terms of the Cordran® Tape co-promotion agreement, Valeant will utilize its existing Dermatology sales and marketing structure to promote the product, and will receive a co-promotion fee on sales. The fees paid to Valeant under the Cordran® Tape arrangement will be recognized in the period incurred as selling and marketing expenses.
Actavis Pharma Business Development
Generic Concerta® and Lidoderm®
The Companys two most significant products in 2013 were the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER) and Lidoderm® (lidocaine topical patch 5%), which on a combined basis comprised 14% of the Actavis Pharma Segments revenues. These products are sold pursuant to exclusive marketing arrangements.
In November 2010, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI) to market the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER). Under the terms of the agreement, the product is supplied by OMJPI. We launched our authorized generic of Concerta® on May 1, 2011. Under the terms of our agreement with OMJPI, we agreed to pay a royalty to OMJPI based on the gross profit of product revenues as defined in the agreements. During 2012, the royalty payable to OMJPI ranged from 50% to 55% of sales. In 2013, our royalty payable on sales of methylphenidate ER declined to 30% when a third party competitor launched a competing bioequivalent product. The change in royalty was a one-time event and was applied on a strength-by-strength basis following the launch of the first third party generic competitor. This royalty includes the cost of the product supplied by OMJPI. In May 2014, we extended the agreement with OMJPI. Under the terms of the extended agreement, OMJPI will continue to manufacture and supply Actavis with all dosage strengths of the authorized generic version of Concerta®, and Actavis will continue to market and distribute the product in the United States. OMJPI will receive 50 percent of the net sales from Actavis product. The extended agreement with OMJPI expires on December 31, 2017 and is subject to normal and customary early termination provisions. The agreement with OMJPI has been accounted for as a distribution arrangement. Accordingly, we recorded the net sales of the authorized generic product in the period earned and reflected the cost of product sold and the royalty payments to OMJPI in costs of goods sold in the period incurred.
We entered into an agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo) and Teikoku Seiyaku Co., Ltd to settle all outstanding patent litigation related to our generic version of Lidoderm®. Lidoderm® is a local anesthetic indicated to relieve post-shingles pain. Per the terms of the agreement, on September 15, 2013, we launched our generic version of Lidoderm® (lidocaine topical patch 5%) to customers in the U.S. more than two years before the products patents expire. Under applicable Hatch Waxman rules, we believe we are entitled to 180 days of marketing exclusivity. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, we received and distributed branded Lidoderm® prior to the launch of the generic version of Lidoderm®.
License and supply agreement with Merck for Oxytrol® OTC
In November 2007, the Company entered into a license and supply agreement for Oxytrol® with Merck, Inc. Under terms of the agreement, Actavis will supply the Oxytrol® product to Merck and Merck will package, distribute, sell and market the product over-the-counter in the U.S. for the treatment of over active bladder in women (OAB). The agreement entitles Actavis to retain marketing rights for the prescription Oxytrol® product. After conducting numerous clinical trials, Merck submitted the application in March of 2012 and received FDA approval on January 25, 2013 as the first OTC product for the treatment of OAB.
135
Amgen Collaboration
In December 2011, we entered into the Amgen Collaboration Agreement.

The Company will contribute up to $282.2 million (as of June 30, 2014) in co-development costs over the remaining course of development, including the provision of development support, and will share product development risks. In addition, we will contribute our significant expertise in the commercialization and marketing of products in highly competitive specialty and generic markets, including helping effectively manage the lifecycle of the biosimilar products. The collaboration products are expected to be sold under a joint Amgen/Actavis label. We will initially receive royalties and sales milestones from product revenues. The collaboration will not pursue biosimilars of Amgens proprietary products.
Global Licensing Agreement for Biosimilar Herceptin®
On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into a global license agreement with Synthon, obtaining an exclusive license to its trastuzumab molecule, which is being developed as a biosimilar to Herceptin®. Actavis subsequently contributed the product to the Companys biosimilar collaboration with Amgen. Amgen and Actavis will assume all responsibility for worldwide development and commercialization of biosimilar trastuzumab, including Phase III clinical trials and global manufacturing. The agreement entitles Synthon to an initial payment and the opportunity to receive a milestone payment and royalties on net sales. Synthon will also receive compensation for transitional support activities provided under the agreement.
Amendment to Sanofi Collaboration Agreement
On October 28, 2013, Warner Chilcott Company, LLC (WCCL), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Sanofi entered into an amendment (the Sanofi Amendment) to the global collaboration agreement as amended (the Collaboration Agreement) to which WCCL and Sanofi are parties. WCCL and Sanofi co-develop and market Actonel® and Atelvia® (risedronate sodium) on a global basis, excluding Japan.
Pursuant to the Sanofi Amendment, the parties amended the Collaboration Agreement with respect to Actonel® and Atelvia® in the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the Exclusive Territory) to provide that, in exchange for the payment of a lump sum of $125.0 million by WCCL to Sanofi in the year ended December 31, 2013, WCCLs obligations with respect to the global reimbursement payment, which represented a percentage of Actavis net sales as defined, as it relates to the Exclusive Territory for the year ended December 31, 2014 shall be satisfied in full. The Sanofi Amendment did not and does not apply to or affect the parties respective rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to (i) the remainder of 2013 or (ii) territories outside the Exclusive Territory.
Disposals
Lincolnton Manufacturing Facility
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold assets in our Lincolnton manufacturing facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we sold the manufacturing facility to G&W for $21.5 million. In addition, the Company and G&W entered into a supply agreement, whereby G&W will supply the Company product during a specified transition period. We allocated the fair value of the consideration to the business sold of $25.8 million and the supply agreement, which resulted in a prepaid asset to be amortized into cost of sales over the transition period of $4.3 million. As a result of the final sales terms, we recorded a gain on business sold of $6.6 million and $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

We retained all rights to manufacture, sell and distribute all store-branded OTC and nicotine gum products, as well as other non-Rugby OTC products in our portfolio. We retained ownership of our nicotine gum ANDAs, as well as nicotine gum manufacturing facilities.

As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $28.8 million in other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we terminated the agreement with Moksha8, resulting in a loss of $4.0 million.
Business Description
Prescription pharmaceutical products in the U.S. generally are marketed as either generic or brand pharmaceuticals. Actavis markets a broad portfolio of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and develops innovative medicines for patients suffering from diseases principally in the central nervous system, gastroenterology, womens health, urology, cardiovascular, respiratory and anti-infective therapeutic categories.
137
Generic pharmaceutical products are bioequivalents of their respective brand products, or in cases of protein-based biologic therapies, biosimilar, and provide a cost-efficient alternative to brand products. Brand pharmaceutical products are marketed under brand names through programs that are designed to generate physician and consumer loyalty. Through our Anda Distribution Segment, we distribute pharmaceutical products, primarily generics, which have been commercialized by us and others, to pharmacies and physicians offices.
As a result of the differences between the types of products we market and/or distribute and the methods by which we distribute these products, we operate and manage our business as two distinct operating segments: Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution.
Business Strategy
We apply three key strategies to achieve growth for our Actavis Pharma business: (i) internal development of differentiated and high-demand generic and specialty brands products, including, in certain circumstances as it relates to generics, challenging patents associated with these products, (ii) establishment of strategic alliances and collaborations and (iii) acquisition of products and companies that complement our current business. The Company also develops and out licenses generic pharmaceutical products through its Medis third party business. Our Medis third-party business has a broad portfolio of more than 175 developed products for out licensing to approximately 330 customers, primarily in Europe. Our Anda Distribution business distributes products for approximately 400 suppliers and is focused on providing next-day delivery and responsive service to its customers. Our Anda Distribution business also distributes a number of generic and brand products in the U.S. Growth in our Anda Distribution business will be largely dependent upon FDA approval of new generic products in the U.S. and expansion of our base of suppliers.
Based upon business conditions, our financial strength and other factors, we regularly reexamine our business strategies and may change them at any time. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business.
Actavis Pharma Segment
Newly developed pharmaceutical products normally are patented or have market exclusivity and, as a result, are generally offered by a single provider when first introduced to the market. We market a number of branded products in our key therapeutic categories to physicians, hospitals, and other markets that we serve. These patented and off-patent trademarked products are brand pharmaceutical products. In July 2014, as a result of the Forest Laboratories Acquisition, we began promoting a number of additional brand products in new therapeutic categories, including, but not limited to, Namenda®, Saphris®, Fetzima, Viibryd®, Linzess® and Bystolic®. In October 2013, as a result of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, we began promoting a number of additional brand products, including, but not limited to, Actonel®, Asacol® HD, Atelvia®, Delzicol®, Doryx®, Estrace® Cream, Enablex®, Lo Loestrin® Fe and Minastrin® 24 Fe. In April 2012, we launched Gelnique 3%TM (oxybutynin), a clear, odorless topical gel that has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for OAB. Gelnique 3%TM was obtained through an exclusive licensing agreement with Antares Pharma, Inc.
In certain cases where patents or other regulatory exclusivity no longer protect a brand product, or other opportunities might exist, we seek ways to introduce generic counterparts to the brand product. These generic products are bioequivalent to their brand name counterparts and are generally sold at significantly lower prices than the brand product. Within the Companys North American Brand and North American Generics reporting units, the United States is the primary contributing market. While our U.S. business will continue to be the dominant source of revenue for the Company, based on our current portfolio we would expect international revenue to represent an increasing percentage of total revenues in future periods due to the Actavis Group Acquisition in October 2012.
Net revenues in our Actavis Pharma segment accounted for $7.5 billion, $4.9 billion and $3.8 billion, or approximately 86.2%, 83.3% and 83.1% of our total net revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012
138
and 2011, respectively. Our Actavis Pharma business in North America remains the dominant source of revenue for the Company with approximately 66.5%, 80.2% and 88.7% of 2013, 2012 and 2011 segment net revenue coming from our North American businesses, respectively. In particular, North American brand revenues accounted for 14.2%, 9.7% and 11.3% of the Actavis Pharma net revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and North American generic revenues accounted for 52.3%, 70.5% and 77.4% of the Actavis Pharma net revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Other revenue, which consists primarily of royalties, milestone receipts, commission income and revenue from licensing arrangements totaled $185.8 million, $131.7 million and $123.1 million our total Actavis Pharma segment net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Actavis Pharma Strategy
Our Actavis Pharma business is focused on maintaining a leading position within both the North American, and in particular, the U.S. market and our key international markets and strengthening our global position by offering a consistent and reliable supply of quality products.
Our strategy in the U.S. is to develop pharmaceuticals that are difficult to formulate or manufacture or will complement or broaden our existing product lines. Internationally, we seek to grow our market share in key markets while expanding our presence in new markets. We plan to accomplish this through new product launches, filing existing products overseas and in-licensing products through acquisitions and strategic alliances.
We predominantly market our generic products to various drug wholesalers, mail order, government and national retail drug and food store chains utilizing a small team of sales and marketing professionals. We market our brand products through approximately 3,500 active sales professionals in the world. Our sales and marketing efforts focus on physicians, specifically urologists, obstetricians, dermatologists, gastroenterologists and gynecologists, who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of particular medical conditions. Each group offers products to satisfy the unique needs of these physicians. We also co-promote products within our targeted therapeutic areas. Additionally, we distribute third parties brand products (sometimes known as Authorized Generics) to the extent such arrangements are complementary to our core business.
We have maintained an ongoing effort to enhance efficiencies and reduce costs in our manufacturing operations.

Research and Development
We devote significant resources to the R&D of brand products, generic products, biosimilars and proprietary drug delivery technologies. We incurred R&D expenses of approximately $616.9 million, $402.5 million and $306.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We are presently developing a number of products through a combination of internal and collaborative programs.
Our R&D strategy focuses on the following product development areas:
| the application of proprietary drug-delivery technology for new product development in specialty areas; |
| the acquisition of mid-to-late development-stage brand drugs and biosimilars; |
| off-patent drugs that are difficult to develop or manufacture, or that complement or broaden our existing product lines; and |
| the development of sustained-release, semi-solid, liquid, oral transmucosal, transdermal, gel, injectable, and other drug delivery technologies and the application of these technologies to proprietary drug forms. |
We conduct R&D through a network of approximately 17 global R&D centers. As of December 31, 2013, we conducted the majority of our R&D activities in Davie and Weston, Florida; Salt Lake City, Utah; Elizabeth, New Jersey; Owings Mills, Maryland and Mumbai, India.
As of December 31, 2013, we had more than 195 ANDAs on file in the U.S. Refer to the Government Regulation and Regulatory Matters section below for a description of our process for obtaining FDA approval for our products. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Investing in the Pharmaceutical IndustryExtensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
As of December 31, 2013, we were developing a number of brand products, some of which utilize novel drug-delivery systems, through a combination of internal and collaborative programs including the following:

142
We also have a number of products in development as part of our life-cycle management strategy on our existing product portfolio.
Biosimilars
In July 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement with Itero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (Itero), a venture-backed specialty biopharmaceutical company, to develop and commercialize Iteros recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) product. In 2012, the product began clinical development as a biosimilar molecule for in vitro fertilization. Under the terms of the agreement, Actavis paid Itero an undisclosed licensing fee and will make additional payments based on the achievement of certain development and regulatory performance milestones. Upon successful commercialization, Actavis will also pay Itero a percentage of net sales or net profits in various regions of the world. Actavis assumed responsibility for all future development, manufacturing, and commercial expenses related to Iteros rFSH product.
In December 2011, we entered into the Amgen Collaboration Agreement. The Company will contribute co-development costs over the remaining course of development, including the provision of development support, and will share product development risks. At June 30, 2014, Actavis maximum potential remaining co-development obligation under this agreement was $282.2 million. In addition, we will contribute our significant expertise in the commercialization and marketing of products in highly competitive specialty and generic markets, including helping effectively manage the lifecycle of the biosimilar products. The collaboration products are expected to be sold under a joint Amgen/Actavis label. We will initially receive royalties and sales milestones from product revenues. The collaboration will not pursue biosimilars of Amgens proprietary products.
Anda Distribution Segment
Our Anda Distribution business primarily distributes generic and selected brand pharmaceutical products, vaccines, injectables and OTC medicines to independent pharmacies, alternate care providers (hospitals, nursing homes and mail order pharmacies), pharmacy chains and physicians offices. Additionally, we sell to members of buying groups, which are independent pharmacies that join together to enhance their buying power. We believe that we are able to effectively compete in the distribution market, and therefore optimize our market share, based on three critical elements: (i) competitive pricing, (ii) high levels of inventory for approximately 12,725 SKUs as of December 31, 2013 for responsive customer service that includes, among other things, next day delivery to the entire U.S., and (iii) well established telemarketing relationships with our customers, supplemented by our electronic ordering capabilities. While we purchase most of the approximate 12,725 SKUs in our Anda Distribution operations from third party manufacturers, we also distribute our own products and our collaborative partners products. We are the only U.S. pharmaceutical company that has meaningful distribution operations with direct access to independent pharmacies.
Revenue growth in our distribution operations will primarily be dependent on the launch of new products, offset by the overall level of net price and unit declines on existing distributed products and will be subject to changes in market share.
We presently distribute products from our facilities in Weston, Florida, Groveport, Ohio, and Olive Branch, Mississippi. In 2012, we completed construction of the 234,000 square foot distribution facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi and over time, we expect to relocate our Groveport, Ohio distribution operations to this new facility.
Financial Information About Segments and Geographic Areas
Actavis evaluates the performance of its Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution business segments based on net revenues and segment contribution. Summarized net revenues and segment contribution information for each of the last three fiscal years in the U.S. and internationally, where applicable, is presented in NOTE 17Segments in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) in this prospectus.
143
Customers
In our Actavis Pharma operations, we sell our generic products primarily to drug wholesalers, retailers and distributors, including national retail drug and food store chains, hospitals, clinics, mail order, government agencies and managed healthcare providers such as health maintenance organizations and other institutions and we actively promote our branded products to primary care and specialist physicians. In our Anda Distribution business, we distribute generic and brand pharmaceutical products to independent pharmacies, alternate care providers (hospitals, nursing homes and mail order pharmacies), pharmacy chains, physicians offices and buying groups.
Sales to certain of our customers accounted for 10% or more of our annual net revenues during the past three years. The acquisitions of Legacy Warner Chilcott and the Actavis Group, and the related change in the mix of global sales resulting from these acquisitions had the impact of lowering overall concentration risk for us. The following table illustrates any customer, on a global basis, which accounted for 10% or more of our annual net revenues in any of the past three fiscal years and the respective percentage of our net revenues for which they account for each of the last three years:
Customer |
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||
McKesson Corporation |
11 | % | 14 | % | 14 | % | ||||||
Walgreens |
9 | % | 16 | % | 16 | % |
McKesson and certain of our other customers comprise a significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in North America. As a result, a small number of large, wholesale distributors and large chain drug stores control a significant share of the market. This concentration may adversely impact pricing and create other competitive pressures on drug manufacturers. Our Anda Distribution business competes directly with our large wholesaler customers with respect to the distribution of generic products.
The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Refer to Risk FactorsRisk Relating to Investing in the Pharmaceutical IndustrySales of our products may continue to be adversely affected by the continuing consolidation of our distribution network and the concentration of our customer base.
Competition
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. In our Actavis Pharma business, we compete with different companies depending upon product categories, and within each product category, upon dosage strengths and drug delivery systems. Such competitors include the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. In addition to product development, other competitive factors in the pharmaceutical industry include product quality and price, reputation and service and access to proprietary and technical information. It is possible that developments by others will make our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete.
We actively compete in the generic pharmaceutical industry. Revenues and gross profit derived from the sales of generic pharmaceutical products tend to follow a pattern based on certain regulatory and competitive factors. As patents and regulatory exclusivity for brand name products expire or are successfully challenged, the first off-patent manufacturer to receive regulatory approval for generic equivalents of such products is generally able to achieve significant market penetration. As competing off-patent manufacturers receive regulatory approvals on similar products, market share, revenues and gross profit typically decline, in some cases dramatically. Accordingly, the level of market share, revenues and gross profit attributable to a particular generic product normally is related to the number of competitors in that products market pricing and the timing of that products regulatory approval and launch, in relation to competing approvals and launches. Consequently, we must continue to develop and introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective manner to maintain our revenues and gross profit. In addition to competition from other generic drug manufacturers, we face competition from brand name companies in the generic market. Many of these companies seek to participate in sales of generic products by, among other things, collaborating with other generic pharmaceutical companies or by
144
marketing their own generic equivalent to their brand products as Authorized Generics. Our major competitors include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., Mylan and Sandoz, Inc. (a division of Novartis AG). Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Investing in the Pharmaceutical IndustryThe pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and our future revenue growth and profitability are dependent on our timely development and launches of new products ahead of our competitors.
Competing in the brand product business requires us to identify and bring to market new products embodying technological innovations. Successful marketing of brand products depends primarily on the ability to communicate their effectiveness, safety and value to healthcare professionals in private and group practices, and receive formulary status from managed care organizations. We anticipate that our brand product offerings will support our existing areas of therapeutic focus. Based upon business conditions and other factors, we regularly reevaluate our business strategies and may, from time to time, reallocate our resources from one therapeutic area to another, withdraw from a therapeutic area or add an additional therapeutic area in order to maximize our overall growth opportunities. Our competitors in brand products include major brand name manufacturers of pharmaceuticals. Many of our competitors have been in business for a longer period of time, have a greater number of products on the market and have greater financial and other resources than we do. If we directly compete with them for certain contracted business, such as the Pharmacy Benefit Manager business, and for the same markets and/or products, their financial strength could prevent us from capturing a meaningful share of those markets.
In our Anda Distribution business, we compete with a number of large wholesalers and other distributors of pharmaceuticals, including McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal, which distribute both brand and generic pharmaceutical products to their customers. These same companies are significant customers of our Actavis Pharma business. As generic products generally have higher gross margins than brand products for a pharmaceutical distribution business, each of the large wholesalers, on an increasing basis, are offering pricing incentives on brand products if the customers purchase a majority of their generic pharmaceutical products from the primary wholesaler. As we do not offer as broad a portfolio of brand products to our customers as some of our competitors, we are at times competitively disadvantaged. Increased competition in the generic industry as a whole may result in increased price erosion in the pursuit of market share. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessOur Anda Distribution operations compete directly with significant customers of our generic and brand businesses.
Manufacturing, Suppliers and Materials
We manufacture many of our own finished products at our plants including major manufacturing sites in Athens, Greece; Barnstaple, UK; Birzebbugia, Malta; Corona, California; Cincinnati, OH; Davie, Florida; Nerviano, Italy; Dupnitsa, Bulgaria; Elizabeth, New Jersey; Goa, India; Hafnarfjordur, Iceland; Fajardo, Puerto Rico; Weiderstadt, Germany and Salt Lake City, Utah. We have implemented several cost reduction initiatives, which included the transfer of several solid dosage products from our Corona, California facility to other facilities throughout our manufacturing network and the ongoing implementation of an operational excellence initiative at certain of our manufacturing facilities. We have also announced our intent to close our Pharmapack, Netherlands facility in 2014 and Lincolnton, North Carolina manufacturing facility by 2015, moving the production of certain prescription products to our Salt Lake City, Utah facility and contracting with third parties for the manufacture of certain OTC products. Our manufacturing facilities also include additional plants supporting local markets and alternative dosage forms. For a more complete list of manufacturing facilities please refer to Properties in this prospectus).
We have development and manufacturing capabilities for raw material and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intermediate ingredients to support our internal product development efforts in our Coleraine, Northern Ireland and Ambernath, India facilities. Our Ambernath, India facility also manufactures API for third parties.
145
Our manufacturing operations are subject to extensive regulatory oversight and could be interrupted at any time. Our Corona, California facility is currently subject to a consent decree of permanent injunction. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Investing in the Pharmaceutical IndustryExtensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Also refer to Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and NOTE 17 Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
In addition, we are dependent on third parties for the supply of the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture our products, including the API and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients used in many of our products. We are required to identify the supplier(s) of all the raw materials for our products in the drug applications that we file with the FDA. If raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier specified in a drug application, we would be required to qualify a substitute supplier with the FDA, which would likely interrupt manufacturing of the affected product. To the extent practicable, we attempt to identify more than one supplier in each drug application. However, some raw materials are available only from a single source and, in many of our drug applications, only one supplier of raw materials has been identified, even in instances where multiple sources exist.
Further we obtain a significant portion of our raw materials from foreign suppliers. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA regulation, customs clearance, various import duties, foreign currency risk and other government clearances. Acts of governments outside the U.S. may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of our products. In addition, any changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for R&D prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessIf we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies from key manufacturing sites or suppliers that in some cases may be the only source of finished products or raw materials, our ability to deliver our products to the market may be impeded in this document. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Investing in the Pharmaceutical IndustryThe supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by recent regulations promulgated by the European Union.
Patents and Proprietary Rights
We believe patent protection of our proprietary products is important to our Actavis Pharma business. Our success with our brand products will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain, and successfully defend if challenged, patent or other proprietary protection for such products. We currently have a number of U.S. and foreign patents issued or pending. However, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or as to the enforceable scope of the claims of the patent. Accordingly, our patents may not prevent other companies from developing similar or functionally equivalent products or from successfully challenging the validity of our patents. If our patent applications are not approved or, even if approved, if such patents are circumvented or not upheld in a court of law, our ability to competitively market our patented products and technologies may be significantly reduced. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by competitors, in which case our ability to commercially market these products may be diminished. From time to time, we may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to develop, manufacture and market our products. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercially market such products may be inhibited or prevented. Patents covering our Estrace® Cream, Androderm®, Femhrt® and INFed® products have expired and we have no further patent protection on these products.
We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our partners, customers, employees and consultants. It is possible that these agreements will be breached or will not be enforceable in every instance, and we will not have adequate remedies for any such breach. It is also possible that our trade secrets will otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors.
146
We may find it necessary to initiate litigation to enforce our patent rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights and proprietary technologies can often be protracted and expensive and, as with litigation generally, the outcome is inherently uncertain.
Pharmaceutical companies with brand products are suing companies that produce off-patent forms of their brand name products for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights which may delay or prevent the entry of such a generic product into the market. For instance, when we file an ANDA in the U.S. seeking approval of a generic equivalent to a brand drug, we may certify under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act of 1984 (the Hatch-Waxman Act) to the FDA that we do not intend to market our generic drug until any patent listed by the FDA as covering the brand drug has expired, in which case, the ANDA will be approved by the FDA no earlier than the expiration or final finding of invalidity of such patent(s). On the other hand, we could certify that we believe the patent or patents listed as covering the brand drug are invalid and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, sale or use of our generic form of the brand drug. In that case, we are required to notify the brand product holder or the patent holder that such patent is invalid or is not infringed. If the patent holder sues us for patent infringement within 45 days from receipt of the notice, the FDA is then prevented from approving our ANDA for 30 months after receipt of the notice unless the lawsuit is resolved in our favor in less time or a shorter period is deemed appropriate by a court. In addition, increasingly aggressive tactics employed by brand companies to delay generic competition, including the use of Citizen Petitions and seeking changes to U.S. Pharmacopeia, have increased the risks and uncertainties regarding the timing of approval of generic products.
Litigation alleging infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights may be costly and time consuming. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessThird parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights and may prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products and Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies and NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) in this prospectus.
Government Regulation and Regulatory Matters
United States
All pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Actavis, are subject to extensive, complex and evolving regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA, and to a lesser extent, by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state government agencies, as well as by various regulatory agencies in foreign countries where our products or product candidates are being manufactured and/or marketed. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of our products. In our international markets, the approval, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products is similar to the United States with some variations dependent upon local market dynamics.
FDA approval is required before any dosage form of any new drug, including an off-patent equivalent of a previously approved drug, can be marketed. The process for obtaining governmental approval to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time-consuming and costly, and the extent to which it may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments cannot be predicted. We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and shipping new products. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessIf we are unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products, our operating results will suffer. and Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities in this document.
147
All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. There are generally two types of applications for FDA approval that would be applicable to our new products:
| NDA. We file a NDA when we seek approval for drugs with active ingredients and/or with dosage strengths, dosage forms, delivery systems or pharmacokinetic profiles that have not been previously approved by the FDA. Generally, NDAs are filed for newly developed brand products or for a new dosage form of previously approved drugs. |
| ANDA. We file an ANDA when we seek approval for off-patent, or generic equivalents of a previously approved drug. |
For innovative, or non-generic, new drugs, an FDA-approved NDA is required before the drug may be marketed in the United States. The NDA must contain data to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective for its intended uses and that it will be manufactured to appropriate quality standards. In order to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, an NDA generally must include or reference pre-clinical studies and clinical data from controlled trials in humans. For a new chemical entity, this generally means that lengthy, uncertain and rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing must be conducted. For compounds that have a record of prior or current use, it may be possible to utilize existing data or medical literature and limited new testing to support an NDA. Any pre-clinical testing that we wish to rely upon for FDA action must comply with the FDAs good laboratory practice and other requirements. Clinical testing in human subjects must be conducted in accordance with the FDAs good clinical practice and other requirements. In order to initiate a clinical trial, the sponsor must submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to the FDA or meet one of the narrow exemptions that exist from the IND requirement.
The FDA can, and does, reject NDAs, require additional clinical trials, or grant approvals on a restricted basis only, even when product candidates performed well in clinical trials. In addition, the FDA may approve an NDA subject to post-approval studies or monitoring requirements, or require that other risk management measures be utilized in connection with the product. There are also requirements to conduct pediatric trials for all new NDAs and supplements to NDAs, unless a waiver or deferral applies.
Similarly, FDA approval of an ANDA is required before we may begin marketing an off-patent or generic equivalent of a drug that has been approved under an NDA, or a previously unapproved dosage form of a drug that has been approved under an NDA. The ANDA approval process generally differs from the NDA approval process in that it does not typically require new preclinical and clinical studies; instead, it relies on the clinical studies establishing safety and efficacy conducted for the previously approved NDA drug. The ANDA process, however, typically requires data to show that the ANDA drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved drug. Bioequivalence compares the bioavailability of one drug product with another and, when established, indicates whether the rate and extent of absorption of a generic drug in the body are substantially equivalent to the previously approved drug. Bioavailability establishes the rate and extent of absorption, as determined by the time dependent concentrations of a drug product in the bloodstream or body needed to produce a therapeutic effect. The ANDA drug development and approval process generally takes three to four years which is less time than the NDA drug development and approval process since the ANDA process does not require new clinical trials establishing the safety and efficacy of the drug product.
Supplemental NDAs or ANDAs are required for, among other things, approval to transfer certain products from one manufacturing site to another or to change an API supplier, and may be under review for a year or more. In addition, certain products may only be approved for transfer once new bioequivalency studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied.
To obtain FDA approval of both NDAs and ANDAs, our manufacturing procedures and operations must conform to FDA quality system and control requirements generally referred to as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), as defined in Title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations
148
encompass all aspects of the production process from receipt and qualification of components to distribution procedures for finished products. They are evolving standards; thus, we must continue to expend substantial time, money and effort in all production and quality control areas to maintain compliance. The evolving and complex nature of regulatory requirements, the broad authority and discretion of the FDA, and the generally high level of regulatory oversight results in the continuing possibility that we may be adversely affected by regulatory actions despite our efforts to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
We are subject to the periodic inspection of our facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of our products by the FDA, the DEA and other authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to assess compliance with applicable regulations. In addition, in connection with its review of our applications for new products, the FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes comply with cGMP and other FDA regulations. Among other things, the FDA may withhold approval of NDAs, ANDAs or other product applications of a facility if deficiencies are found at that facility. Vendors that supply finished products or components to us that we use to manufacture, package and label products are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections.
Following such inspections, the FDA may issue notices on Form 483 and Warning Letters that could cause us to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. A Form 483 notice is generally issued at the conclusion of an FDA inspection and lists conditions the FDA investigators believe may violate cGMP or other FDA regulations. FDA guidelines specify that a Warning Letter be issued only for violations of regulatory significance for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in an enforcement action.
Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDAs review of NDAs, ANDAs or other product application enforcement actions, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Although we have internal compliance programs, if these programs do not meet regulatory agency standards or if our compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could have a material adverse effect on us. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessExtensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. in this document. The Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992 established penalties for wrongdoing in connection with the development or submission of an ANDA. Under this Act, the FDA has the authority to permanently or temporarily bar companies or individuals from submitting or assisting in the submission of an ANDA, and to temporarily deny approval and suspend applications to market generic drugs. The FDA may also suspend the distribution of all drugs approved or developed in connection with certain wrongful conduct and/or withdraw approval of an ANDA and seek civil penalties. The FDA can also significantly delay the approval of any pending NDA, ANDA or other regulatory submissions under the Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery and Illegal Gratuities Policy Act.
U.S. Government reimbursement programs include Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and State Pharmacy Assistance Programs established according to statute, government regulations and policy. Federal law requires that all pharmaceutical manufacturers, as a condition of having their products receive federal reimbursement under Medicaid, must pay rebates to state Medicaid programs on units of their pharmaceuticals that are dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries. With enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the ACA), as it is now known, the required per-unit rebate for products marketed under ANDAs increased from 11% of the average manufacturer price to 13%. Additionally, for products marketed under NDAs, the manufacturers rebate increased from 15.1% to 23.1% of the average manufacturer price, or the difference between the average manufacturer price and the lowest net sales price to a non-government customer during a specified period. In some states, supplemental rebates are required as a condition of including the manufacturers drug on the states Preferred Drug List.
149
The ACA also made substantial changes to reimbursement when seniors reach the Medicare Part D coverage gap donut hole. By 2020, Medicare beneficiaries will pay 25% of drug costs when they reach the coverage thresholdthe same percentage they were responsible for before they reached that threshold.
The cost of closing the donut hole is being borne by generic and brand drug companies. Beginning in 2011, brand drug manufacturers were required to provide a 50% discount on their drugs. Additionally, beginning in 2013, the government began providing subsidies for brand-name drugs bought by seniors who enter the coverage gap. The governments share started at 2.5%, but will increase to 25% by 2020. At that point, the combined industry discounts and government subsidies will add up to 75% of brand-name drug costs. Government subsidies currently cover 7% of generic drug costs. The government will subsidize additional portions each year until 2020, when federal government subsidies will cover 75% of generic drug costs. By 2020, the donut hole will be completely closed through these manufacturers subsidies.
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) mandated a number of changes in the Medicaid program, including the use of Average Manufacturers Price (AMP) as the basis for reimbursement to pharmaceutical companies that dispense generic drugs under the Medicaid program. Three health care reform bills passed in 2010 significantly changed the definition of AMP, effective October 1, 2010. These legislative changes were part of the ACA and the FAA Air Transportation Modernization & Safety Improvement Act (the Transportation Bill). The impact of this legislation was that there were increases in Medicaid reimbursement to pharmacies for generics. These changes became effective on October 1, 2010.
On November 9, 2010, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a final rule withdrawing and amending regulations that have governed the calculation of AMP and the establishment of federal upper limits since October 2007. The regulations were withdrawn to mandate AMP calculation under the revised drug rebate statute. The withdrawal required manufacturers to base October 2010 and subsequent months AMPs on the statutory language until official guidance is issued.
In the absence of regulatory guidance governing the AMP calculation, CMS had instructed pharmaceutical manufacturers to base their AMP calculations on the definitions set forth in the statute, as amended by the ACA, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, and the Transportation Bill. On January 27, 2012, CMS issued proposed rules on Medicaid pharmacy reimbursement using the AMP model. Actavis has adopted mechanisms to ensure that we are calculating and reporting AMP in a manner that is consistent with the text and intent of the statute and the proposed rules.
In addition, in connection with the commercialization of our products, we have obtained authorization to receive reimbursement at varying levels for the cost of certain products and related treatments from government authorities and private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs and MCOs.
Federal, state, local and foreign laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions, also govern us. In addition, we are subject, as are all manufacturers generally, to numerous and increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances and the discharge of pollutants into the air and water. Environmental permits and controls are required for some of our operations, and these permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation by the issuing authorities. Our environmental capital expenditures and costs for environmental compliance may increase in the future as a result of changes in environmental laws and regulations or increased manufacturing activities at any of our facilities. We could be adversely affected by any failure to comply with environmental laws, including the costs of undertaking a clean-up at a site to which our wastes were transported.
As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), companies are required to file with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of brand drugs. This requirement could affect the manner in which generic
150
drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with brand pharmaceutical companies, and could result generally in an increase in private-party litigation against pharmaceutical companies. The impact of this requirement, and the potential private-party lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand name and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect our business. For example, in January 2009, the FTC and the State of California filed a lawsuit against us alleging that our settlement with Solvay related to our ANDA for a generic version of Androgel® is unlawful. Beginning in February 2009, several private parties purporting to represent various classes of plaintiffs filed similar lawsuits. Those lawsuits, as well as additional suits challenging the validity of our settlements related generic versions of Actos®, Cipro®, Lidoderm® and Loestrin®24, remain pending.
Additionally, we may, and have, received requests for information, sometimes in the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas, from the FTC and the European Competition Commission, and are subject to ongoing FTC and European Competition Commission investigations. Two of our Arrow Group subsidiaries are the subject of a European Competition Commission Statement of Objection related to their 2002 and 2003 settlements of patent litigation related to citalopram. Any adverse outcome of these or other investigations or actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessFederal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of brand and generic products could adversely affect our business. Also refer to Legal Matters in NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (audited) and NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Our Anda Distribution operations and our customers are also subject to various regulatory requirements, including requirements from the DEA, FDA, and state boards of pharmacy and city and county health regulators, among others. These include licensing, registration, recordkeeping, security and reporting requirements. For example, the DEA requires our Anda Distribution business to monitor customer orders of DEA Scheduled Drugs and to report suspicious orders to the DEA. Any determination by the DEA that we have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in the DEA suspending, terminating or refusing to renew Anda Distributions license to distribute Scheduled Drugs. Additionally, numerous states and the federal government have begun to enforce anti-counterfeit drug pedigree laws which require the tracking of all transactions involving prescription drugs beginning with the manufacturer, through the supply chain, and down to the pharmacy or other health care provider dispensing or administering prescription drug products. For example, the Florida Department of Health enforces drug pedigree requirements for distribution of prescription drugs in the State of Florida. Pursuant to Florida law and regulations, wholesalers and distributors, including our subsidiary, Anda, are required to maintain records documenting the chain of custody of prescription drug products they distribute beginning with the purchase of such products from the manufacturer. These entities are required to provide documentation of the prior transaction(s) to their customers in Florida, including pharmacies and other health care entities. Several other states have proposed or enacted legislation to implement similar or more stringent drug pedigree requirements. In addition, federal law requires that a non-authorized distributor of record must provide a drug pedigree documenting the prior purchase of a prescription drug from the manufacturer or from an authorized distributor of record. In cases where the wholesaler or distributor selling the drug product is not deemed an authorized distributor of record, it would need to maintain such records. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessExtensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities in this document.
European Union
We encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are regulated in the European Union (the EU) by the European Medicines Agency (the EMA). All manufacturers are required to submit medicinal products, including generic versions of previously approved products and new strengths, dosages and formulations of previously approved products, to the EMA and its member states for review and marketing authorization before such products are placed on the market in the EU.
151
Marketing authorizations are granted to applicants after the relevant health authority issues a positive assessment of quality, safety and efficacy of the product. In order to receive such assessment, applicants must submit applications, which must contain the results of pre-clinical tests, pharmaceutical tests, and clinical trials with respect to original products, or originator data with respect to the generic versions of previously approved products. All of these tests or trials must be conducted in accordance within European regulations and must allow the reviewing body to evaluate the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicinal product.
In addition to obtaining marketing authorization for each product, all member states require that a manufacturers facilities obtain approval from the national authority. The EU has a code of good manufacturing practices that each manufacturer must follow and comply with. Regulatory authorities in the EU may conduct inspections of the manufacturing facilities to review procedures, operating systems and personnel qualifications. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessThe supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by recent regulations promulgated by the European Union in this document.
In the EU, member states regulate the pricing of pharmaceutical products, and in some cases, the formulation and dosing of products. This regulation is handled by individual member state national health services. These individual regulatory bodies can result in considerable price differences and product availability among member states. The implementation of tendering systems for the pricing of pharmaceuticals in several countries generally impacts drug pricing for generics; generally tendering refers to a system that requires bids to be submitted to the government by competing manufacturers to be the exclusive, or one of a few, supplier(s) of a product in a particular country.
Further, faced with major budget constraints, many European countries have resorted to price cuts that affect both innovative and generic pharmaceuticals although in some countries it has disproportionately affected generic products. Refer to Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessGlobal economic conditions could harm us in this document. In addition, some EU countries such as France, Serbia and Spain, recently had to address statements and rumors claiming that generics are not as safe and effective as reference drugs, which may undermine efforts to increase generic utilization rates.
Canada
In Canada, pharmaceutical manufacturers are regulated by the Therapeutic Products Directorate (the TPD) which derives its authority from the Canadian federal government under the Food and Drugs Act and the Controlled Drug and Substances Act. The TPD evaluates and monitors the safety, effectiveness and quality of pharmaceutical products. Products are officially approved for marketing in Canada following receipt of a market authorization, or Notice of Compliance (an NOC), which is subject to the Food and Drug Regulations. Issuance of an NOC for generic drug products is also subject to the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations (the NOC Regulations) under the Patent Act.
In Canada, the registration process for approval of generic pharmaceuticals has two tracks that proceed in parallel. To obtain an NOC for a generic drug, a company submits an application called an abbreviated new drug submission (ANDS) to Health Canada, which compares the drug to a reference product that is marketed in Canada under a NOC issued to a first person. The first track of the process involves an examination of the ANDS and proposed generic product by Health Canada to ensure that the quality, safety and efficacy of the proposed generic product meet Canadian standards and bioequivalence. The second track is governed by the NOC Regulations and links the grant of an NOC for the proposed generic to patent rights related to the reference product. Health Canada will grant an NOC when it is satisfied that the generic pharmaceutical product described in the ANDS is safe and efficacious and the requirements under the NOC Regulations are met.
The NOC Regulations allow branded drug marketers to list patents relating to the medicinal ingredient, formulation, dosage form or the use of the medicinal ingredient in their branded drug on a patent register maintained by Health Canada. In its ANDS, a generic applicant must address each patent listed against the
152
reference product by making at least one statutory allowed allegation (for example, alleging that the patent is invalid or would not be infringed). If the generic applicant alleges invalidity or non-infringement, it must provide the branded manufacturer with an explanation of its allegations. Upon receipt of the explanation, the branded manufacturer may apply to the Federal Court of Canada for an Order prohibiting Health Canada from issuing an NOC for the generic. Health Canada may not issue a NOC until the earlier of the determination of the application by the court after a hearing on the allegations, or the expiration of 24 months from the commencement of the application.
Facilities, procedures, operations and/or testing of products are subject to periodic inspection by Health Canada and the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate. In addition, Health Canada conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems are in compliance with the good manufacturing practices in Canada, Drug Establishment Licensing requirements and other provisions of the NOC Regulations. Competitors are subject to similar regulations and inspections.
Each Canadian province also provides a comprehensive public drug program, which controls drug pricing and reimbursement and is responsible for ensuring eligible patients receive drugs through public funding. The provinces and territories in Canada operate drug benefit programs through which eligible recipients receive drugs through public funding; these drugs are listed on provincial or territorial Drug Benefit Formularies (Formularies). Eligible recipients include seniors, persons on social assistance, low-income earners, and those with certain specified conditions or diseases. Formulary listings are also used by private payors to reimburse generic products. To be listed in a Formulary, drug products must have been issued a NOC and must comply with each jurisdictions individual review process. Currently, Canadas provinces are looking at national competitive bidding processes/tendering of drugs, which may affect the sustainability of the industry and the supply of pharmaceuticals.
Finally, Canada has reached a trade agreement in principle with the European Union (CETA) in which it has agreed to implement patent term extensions and certain procedural amendments to the NOC Regulations. Canada is further involved in trade negotiations with ten Pacific countries including the United States (the Trans Pacific Partnership), which could lead to further changes to Canadas intellectual property framework, which could delay generic competition.
Australia
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and products are regulated in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (the TGA) which oversees the quality, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products and other therapeutic goods. The TGA is a Division of the Australian Department of Health and Aging and established under the Therapeutic Goods Act of 1989.
Australian pharmaceutical manufacturers must be licensed under Part 3-3 of the Therapeutic Goods Act, and their manufacturing facilities and processes must comply with good manufacturing practices in Australia. All pharmaceutical products manufactured for supply in Australia must be listed in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (the ARTG), before they can be marketed or supplied for sale in Australia.
The government regulates the pharmaceuticals market through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (the PBS), which is a governmental healthcare program established to subsidize the cost of pharmaceuticals to Australian citizens. The PBS is operated under the National Health Act 1953. This statute legislates who may sell pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical product pricing and governmental subsidies. More than 80% of all prescription medicines sold in Australia are reimbursed by the PBS. For pharmaceutical products listed on the PBS, the price is determined through negotiations between the Pharmaceutical Benefits Pricing Authority and pharmaceutical suppliers.
The IP Laws Amendment (Raising the Bar) Act 2012 came into full effect in April 2013 making numerous changes to Australias intellectual property system. The Act included updates to almost all of the intellectual
153
property legislative instruments, including the Patents Act 1990. The changes were aimed at raising the quality of granted patents, providing free access to patented inventions for regulatory approvals and research, reducing delays in resolution of patent and trademark applications and improving mechanisms for trademark and copyright enforcement as well as simplifying the intellectual property system generally.
In May 2013, a final report from the Pharmaceutical Patents Review was provided to the Australian government. The report provided 14 recommendations relating to hotly debated topics, such as extensions of term, contributory infringement, ever-greening, manufacture for export, data exclusivity, a public database identifying and linking specific patents to molecules and early warning of generic launch. Further, the Productivity Commissions report on Compulsory Licensing was issued in late May 2013. The report found that there are no clear alternatives to the current compulsory licensing system that would significantly reduce its cost without also reducing the quality of the outcomes and increasing the scope for appeals, but recommended a number of changes to the Patents Act 1990 and other legislative instruments to strengthen the current system. No action has yet been taking by the Australian government in response to these reports.
Australia remains engaged in various trade negotiations, including the Trans Pacific Partnership that could have pricing implications for its patent and regulatory frameworks and affect the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
Russia
In Russia. Federal Law on the Circulation of Medicines, effective from January 9, 2010 (the Pharmaceutical Law), establishes the general framework of legal requirements applicable to the development, production, trials, quality control, efficacy, safety, importation and sale of pharmaceutical products in Russia.
Given the importance to the public of the health care sector, and providing the population with safe and high quality pharmaceuticals, the Pharmaceutical Law makes it a priority for the state to control the production, quality, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceuticals.
Russias pharmaceutical market consists largely of an out-of-pocket retail market, and the retail market is driven by the promotion of branded products, including both originator and branded generics. A trend of increases in the cost of health care has drawn public scrutiny. Government budget constraints may impact the timing of market entry and/or adversely affect pricing, and compel the government to resort to a tendering model. This could create new challengesparticularly for foreign companies, as along with downward pricing pressures, Russia tends to favor domestically based producers.

Warner Chilcott Limited
Warner Chilcott Limited executive officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors, hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified, and may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. None of the executive officers have employment agreements with, or are compensated by, Warner Chilcott Limited. There are no family relationships between any director and executive officer of Warner Chilcott Limited.
Claire Gilligan serves as our President. See DirectorsWarner Chilcott Limited above for Ms. Gilligans biographical information.
A. Robert D. Bailey serves as our Chief Legal Officer and Secretary. See Executive OfficersActavis plc above for Mr. Baileys biographical information.
Robert Whiteford serves as our Vice President, Director of Finance and Assistant Corporate Secretary. See DirectorsWarner Chilcott Limited above for Mr. Whitefords biographical information.
165
As discussed above under Management, none of our executive officers are compensated by Warner Chilcott Limited and all are employees of Actavis plc or one of its other subsidiaries. As a result of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition on October 1, 2013, Warner Chilcott Limited became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis plc. The following discussion relates to the executive compensation policies and programs of Actavis plc and reports the compensation paid by Actavis plc and its subsidiaries to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and three additional most highly compensated executive officers of Actavis plc for 2013 in all capacities in which they served during that period. We believe this discussion is material to an understanding of us and our operations, and provides more meaningful information to investors because no executive compensation decisions or policies are made at, and no executive compensation is paid by, Warner Chilcott Limited. Additionally, because Warner Chilcott and Warner Chilcott Limited only became subsidiaries of Actavis plc in October 2013, providing 2013 compensation information for the Warner Chilcott enterprise for all or any portion of 2013 would be of limited usefulness and is not likely to provide investors with meaningful information about Actavis executive compensation programs and policies.
Solely for purposes of the remainder of this Executive Compensation section and accompanying compensation tables, references to we, us, our and Actavis refer to Actavis plc.

This section and the compensation tables that follow it do not reflect or give effect to any changes made to our NEO compensation in 2014, whether in connection with our acquisition of Forest Laboratories or otherwise.
OBJECTIVES OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
Our compensation programs for our executives are designed to achieve the following objectives:
¨ | Attract and retain top contributors to ensure that we have high caliber executives; |
¨ | Create and maintain a performance-driven organization, by providing upside compensation opportunity for outstanding performance and downside compensation risk in the event of performance below expectations; |
166
¨ | Align the interests of our executives and shareholders by motivating executives to increase shareholder value along with the achievement of other key corporate goals and objectives and rewarding executives when shareholder value increases; |
¨ | Encourage teamwork and cooperation while recognizing individual contributions by linking variable compensation to Company and individual performance based on position, responsibilities and ability to influence financial and organizational results; |
¨ | Provide flexibility and allow for Committee judgment in applying our compensation principles in order to appropriately reflect individual circumstances as well as changing business conditions and priorities; |
¨ | Motivate our executives to manage our business to meet and appropriately balance our short- and long-term objectives, and reward them for meeting these objectives; and |
¨ | Reinforce our entrepreneurial culture. |
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table summarizes the key components of our compensation program for our Named Executive Officers and the purpose of each component:
Component |
Key features |
Purpose | ||||||
Base Salary |
Fixed cash payment based on position and responsibilities, experience and individual performance. | Offers a stable source of income. | ||||||
Annual Incentive Program |
Annual cash incentive tied to achievement of designated short-term Company, segment and individual goals. | Intended to motivate and reward executives for achievements of short-term Company and individual goals. | ||||||
Equity Incentives |
Equity incentives earned based on time and performance-based requirements. | Intended to create alignment with shareholders and promote retention and achievement of Company performance objectives, including longer-term objectives. |

COMPONENTS OF OTHER NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER PAY (AVERAGE)
We also provide the following compensation components to our Named Executive Officers:
Component |
Key features |
Purpose | ||
Deferred Compensation Plan |
Allows deferral of base salary and annual incentive awards. | Allows participants to plan and save for retirement, thereby encouraging retention. | ||
Health and Welfare Benefits |
Named Executive Officers participate in the same health and welfare plans as our employees generally. | Promotes well-being of the Named Executive Officers. | ||
Severance and Change in Control Benefits |
Cash, welfare and equity acceleration benefits provided in the event of certain terminations of employment, including in connection with a change in control. | Intended to encourage retention by providing a source of security to the Named Executive Officers in the event their employment is terminated; change-in-control benefits encourage attention to duties in time of potential change-in-control. | ||
Limited Perquisites and Personal Benefits |
Car allowance, physical, partial financial planning reimbursement and, for Mr. Bisaro, limited personal use of corporate aircraft | Increase efficiency, protect health and financial well-being, and promote security. |
KEY GOVERNANCE FEATURES OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
At-risk compensation and pay for performance. As illustrated by the charts above, we link a significant portion of each Named Executive Officers total compensation to the achievement of specific, rigorous performance goals. We consider such portion of each executives compensation to be at-risk.
¨ | Performance-based annual cash incentive awards. Our annual cash incentive awards are intended to directly link a significant amount of annual cash compensation to achievement of measurable annual individual and corporate and, for some NEOs, segment financial goals. |
168
¨ | Long-term equity incentives. Our equity incentives focus our executives efforts on the creation of shareholder value and long-term growth. The aggregate dollar value of annual equity awards granted to our NEOs is allocated in equal amounts among three types of grants: (i) time-based vesting restricted stock, (ii) one-year performance-based vesting restricted stock units tied to Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) and (iii) three-year performance-based vesting restricted stock units tied to Total Shareholder Return (defined below) relative to our peer company group. Thus, two-thirds of the total annual long-term equity incentive grant value is contingent upon the achievement of financial performance goals. |
Appropriate choice and use of peer groups. We have thoughtfully selected a peer group of companies with similar market capitalization or scope of operations to us to review relevant market competitiveness data and to ensure our Named Executive Officers compensation remains competitive. We set executive total compensation at levels the Compensation Committee believes are appropriate relative to the total compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies, giving consideration to market and other factors as well. As explained further below, our total compensation is generally targeted at the median of the market.
Equity compensation best practices. Our equity plans prohibit option repricing or replacement of underwater options. Our equity incentives generally vest over a period of three to four years to ensure that our executives maintain a long-term view of shareholder value creation and to encourage retention.
No supplemental retirement plans. We do not maintain any supplemental retirement plans, although we do make limited matching contributions to a deferred compensation plan.
Limited gross-ups. The only employment agreement of our NEOs that provides for a gross-up of excise taxes in connection with a change in control is Mr. Joyces agreement, which was entered into prior to 2010, and we have not enhanced the gross-up. In November 2012, in connection with his amended employment agreement, we eliminated the gross-up previously provided for Mr. Bisaro.
Limited perquisites and personal benefits. We provide our NEOs with only limited perquisites and personal benefits in addition to the regular benefits offered to all employeesa monthly car allowance, mandatory annual physical exams, partial reimbursement for financial planning assistance and, in the case of Mr. Bisaro, limited personal use of the Companys aircraft. We believe that each of these perquisites has an important business purpose, as explained below.
No single-trigger change-in-control benefits. Our change of control arrangements, which include payment of cash severance benefits under the NEOs employment agreements and accelerated vesting of equity awards, are double-trigger in that they are payable only if an NEOs employment is terminated following a change of control.
Independent Compensation Committee. Compensation decisions are approved by an independent Compensation Committee.
Independent Compensation Committee consultant. F.W. Cook, our compensation consultant, reports directly to the Compensation Committee and provides no services to the Company or management.
Risk mitigation. As described in further detail below, the mix and design of our compensation programs serve to mitigate operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks. In addition, our stock ownership guidelines and clawback policies help mitigate risk.
Stock ownership requirements and anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies. Our executive officers are subject to minimum stock ownership requirements intended to reflect the Compensation Committees philosophy that all officers should hold a significant amount of stock to ensure their interests are aligned with those of our shareholders. In addition, our insider trading policy prohibits our Named Executive Officers from hedging their economic exposure to our stock or pledging our stock.
169
Clawback policies. Mr. Bisaros employment agreement, as well as our 162(m) Plan, defined below, include clawback policies requiring the recoupment of certain incentive compensation in the event of a restatement of our financial statements.
IMPACT OF 2013 SAY ON PAY VOTE
At our 2013 shareholders meeting, we provided our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. Over 95% of the votes cast on this 2013 say-on-pay vote were voted in favor of the proposal. We have considered the 2013 say-on-pay vote and we believe that overwhelming support of our shareholders for the 2013 say-on-pay vote proposal indicates that our shareholders are generally supportive of our approach to executive compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee has taken into account the feedback it received during the course of the year from shareholders and potential investors regarding the Companys executive compensation practices, which has largely been positive. Thus we did not make changes to our executive compensation arrangements in 2013 in response to our say-on-pay vote or other shareholder feedback. In the future, we will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes and other shareholder feedback when making compensation decisions regarding the Named Executive Officers.
DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION
ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions regarding senior management, which includes our Named Executive Officers and certain other senior officers of the Company. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an independent, non-employee director. As described below, the Compensation Committee considers the Chief Executive Officers recommendations in determining the compensation of the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee also establishes procedures to evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and is solely responsible for making determinations regarding the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committees decisions regarding the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, are made outside the presence of the applicable officer. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for approving our executive compensation program and general compensation policies, all new or materially amended broad-based compensation plans, and the performance measures used in our executive compensation programs.
ROLE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS
On an annual basis, in concert with our CEO, our Named Executive Officers engage in a process whereby they each set corporate, segment and individual performance goals for the year to come. Following the completion of our fiscal year, our Named Executive Officers formally assess the extent to which each executive believes his goals were met. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews and discusses these self-assessments with each of our Named Executive Officers and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning compensation of the Named Executive Officers other than himself. The Compensation Committee takes these recommendations into account in determining base salaries, cash incentive awards and equity-based awards for our Named Executive Officers. Our Human Resources department also works with the Compensation Committee and its independent compensation consultant, F.W. Cook (as further described below), to ensure that the Compensation Committee is provided with appropriate information upon which to base its decisions.
ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS
The Compensation Committee engaged F.W. Cook, an independent executive compensation consulting firm, to advise the Compensation Committee on matters related to Chief Executive Officer and other executive compensation with respect to 2013. As advisor to the Compensation Committee, F.W. Cook reviews the total compensation strategy and pay levels for the Named Executive Officers, informs the Compensation Committee of developing legal and regulatory considerations affecting executive compensation and benefit programs as well
170
as compensation trends and best practices, and provides general advice to the Compensation Committee with respect to all compensation decisions pertaining to the Named Executive Officers. F.W. Cook also provides input on non-employee director compensation, proposed meeting agendas and presentation materials submitted by management to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
MARKET COMPETITIVENESS REVIEW
In March 2013, F.W. Cook conducted a review of the elements of our compensation program as compared to the elements of the programs provided for similarly situated executives among the following peer group of companies:
AbbVie Inc. |
Forest Laboratories, Inc. | |
Allergan, Inc. |
Gilead Sciences, Inc. | |
Biogen Idec Inc. |
Hospira, Inc. | |
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company |
Mylan Laboratories Inc. | |
Celgene Corporation |
Perrigo Company | |
Endo Health Solutions |
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. | |
Warner Chilcott plc* |
* | Following the Warner Chilcott Acquisition in October 2013, the Compensation Committee further revised the peer group included in the table above by removing Warner Chilcott and adding Eli Lilly and Company, a size-appropriate peer when compared against the projected financials of the Company. |
The peer group above was developed in early 2013 to reflect the size and operations of as well as the mix and geographical diversity of the Company following the 2012 merger of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with Actavis, Inc. The peer group above includes (i) the addition of AbbVie Inc., Biogen Idec Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Celgene Corporation and Gilead Sciences, Inc. and (ii) the removal of Cephalon, Inc., due to its acquisition by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries in 2011.
Our selection criteria for peer companies generally require that they be public companies competing primarily in the pharmaceutical sector with between 33% and 300% of our revenue with a greater spread for market capitalization to acknowledge the wide range of valuations among the peer companies. We generally choose companies with similar revenues or market capitalization to be in our peer group because we believe that the complexity of executives roles tends to correspond with size of the company.
In setting NEO compensation, the Compensation Committee does not rely exclusively on peer company compensation comparisons and considers an individuals experience and market factors on a case-by-case basis. The Company supplements the peer group proxy analysis with data from other compensation surveys that is drawn from numerous companies (presented in aggregated form) in connection with its competitive analysis. The survey data used by the Compensation Committee to determine 2013 compensation represented the Towers Watson Pharmaceutical Survey and was interpolated by F.W. Cook based on each executives revenue responsibility. In evaluating compensation levels against the survey data, the Compensation Committee considers only the aggregated survey data provided by the consultant. The identity of the companies comprising the survey data is not disclosed to, or considered by, the Compensation Committee in its decision-making process. Therefore, the Compensation Committee members do not consider the identity of the companies comprising the survey data to be material for this purpose.
While we generally aim to set each Named Executive Officers target total direct compensation (base salary plus target annual cash incentive compensation plus the expected value of long-term incentive grants) within the levels paid to similarly situated executives in our peer group, such data is intended to serve as only one of several reference points to assist the Compensation Committee in its discussions and deliberations. The Compensation Committee reserves flexibility to vary from the median based on a variety of factors including prior year compensation targets, the Named Executive Officers overall performance, changes in roles or responsibilities, and prior year short- and long-term incentive payments.
171
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF OUR 2013 COMPENSATION DECISIONS
This section describes the components of our executive compensation program, the way in which the Compensation Committee makes decisions about each component, the philosophy behind each component and the way these decisions and philosophies were applied to each Named Executive Officer.
BASE SALARY
Base salary provides our Named Executive Officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability. In setting base salaries and determining merit increases for our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee takes into account a variety of factors, including:
¨ | level of responsibility; |
¨ | individual and team performance; |
¨ | internal review of the Named Executive Officers total compensation, individually and relative to our other officers and executives with similar responsibilities within the Company; and |
¨ | general levels of salaries and salary changes relative to our other officers and executives with similar responsibilities at peer group companies. |
With regard to individual and team performance, the Compensation Committee relies to a significant extent on our Chief Executive Officers evaluation of each other Named Executive Officers individual performance. Salary levels are typically reviewed annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Merit-based increases to the salaries of our Named Executive Officers are based on the Compensation Committees and the Chief Executive Officers assessment (other than for himself) of the individuals performance and market conditions.
After taking into consideration the factors listed above and recognizing the increased size and scope of operations following the 2012 merger of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with Actavis, Inc., our NEOs received the following merit increases in base salary for 2013, effective March 29, 2013: Mr. Bisaro received a merit increase of 8.33%. Mr. Joyce received a merit increase of 12.0%; Mr. Olafsson received a merit increase of 9.0%; Mr. Stewart received a merit increase of 7.5%; and Mr. Wilkinson received a merit increase of 3.0%.
ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS
Annual cash incentive awards are an important feature of our performance-based compensation program. Annual cash incentive awards to our Named Executive Officers are made under our 162(m) Plan, which the Company adopted and stockholders approved in 2012.
The 162(m) Plan is intended to allow incentive compensation payable under such plan to qualify as performance-based compensation and therefore be tax-deductible by the Company under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). See Tax Considerations below for further information regarding Section 162(m).
For 2013, the maximum cash award for each participant under the 162(m) Plan continued to be based on a percentage of the Companys operating income,(1) as defined in the 162(m) Plan (3.0% for Mr. Bisaro and 2.0% for each of our other Named Executive Officers), with a cap of $7,000,000 payable to any participant in any given year. Also under the 162(m) Plan, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce the bonus amounts payable to our Named Executive Officers based on factors determined to be appropriate, including the achievement of performance goals applied under our Company-wide annual cash bonus program (the Cash Bonus Program), as described below. The majority of our employees participate in our Cash Bonus Program. During the first 90 days of the calendar year, the Compensation Committee determines the 162(m) Plan participants, the 162(m) Plan definition of operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, the maximum award payable to each participant under the 162(m) Plan, the Cash Bonus Program performance goals and weightings and the target annual cash incentive award opportunities as a percentage of base salary.
172
The Compensation Committees practice has been to exercise negative discretion from the calculated 162(m) Plan maximum award payable to each Named Executive Officer by applying the Cash Bonus Program performance goals in making its determination of the actual award amount paid. This approach is not purely formulaic, however, as the Compensation Committee also considers the contributions of each participant to our success during the performance period and other factors it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee cannot increase the calculated 162(m) Plan maximum award payable and can only reduce it. Annual cash incentive awards are typically paid in March of the year following the 162(m) Plan performance period.
(1) | Operating income is defined as the Companys operating income determined in accordance with GAAP plus, without duplication and only to the extent such amount represents a charge or expense determined in accordance with GAAP and reflected in the operating income of the Company and regardless of classification within the Companys statement of income, the sum of (a) depreciation and amortization expense; (b) asset impairment charges; (c) charges associated with the revaluation of material contingent liabilities that are based in whole or in part on future estimated cash flows; (d) business restructuring charges; (e) costs and charges associated with the acquisition of businesses and assets including, but not limited to, milestone payments and integration charges; (f) litigation charges and settlements; (g) losses and expenses associated with the sale of assets; minus (h) gains or income of a nature similar to items (a) through (g) above. With respect to each of (a) through (h), such amounts are as identified in the Companys financial statements, notes to the financial statements, or managements discussion and analysis with respect to the financial statements as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2013 Performance Goals
For 2013, the performance goals under the Company-wide Cash Bonus Program, which were applied as part of the Compensation Committee exercising its negative discretion under the 162(m) Plan, consisted of a combination of corporate financial and individual performance goals and, for some Named Executive Officers, segment financial goals.
The amount payable to a Named Executive Officer under the 162(m) Plan was determined by multiplying the NEOs annual base salary in effect as of the relevant year end by a factor equal to:
(i) | the NEOs target bonus percentage; times |
(ii) | a factor equal to (A) the weighted percentage of the target bonus payable on the basis of the Companys Adjusted EBITDA for the relevant fiscal year plus, if applicable, (B) the weighted percentage of the target bonus payable on the basis of the Segment Contribution; times |
(iii) | an adjustment of between 0% and 150% based on the individual performance of the NEO in the relevant fiscal year. |
In summary, the amount payable to a given NEO under the 162(m) Plan would be calculated according to the following formula:
(NEOs base salary) |
x | (NEOs target bonus percentage) | x | (Adjustment factor for weighted Corporate Adjusted EBITDA plus, if applicable, weighted Segment Contribution) | x | (Adjustment of 0% to 150% for NEOs individual performance) |
The Compensation Committee also retains the discretion to award cash bonuses outside the 162(m) Plan. From time to time, the Compensation Committee has awarded special bonuses to one or more of our NEOs in recognition of their contributions to the completion of major acquisitions or strategic initiatives.
Individual Bonus Award Levels
The Compensation Committee sets threshold, target and maximum bonus award levels under the 162(m) Plan for our Named Executive Officers, not to exceed the maximum individual bonus opportunities described above. For
173
2013, the Compensation Committee set award levels for each of our Named Executive Officers under the 162(m) Plan as percentages of their base salaries as shown in the following table:
Name |
Threshold Percentage/Dollar Value |
Target Percentage/Dollar Value |
Maximum Percentage/Dollar Value | |||
Paul M. Bisaro |
62.5%/$812,500 | 125%/$1,625,000 | 281.3%/$3,656,250 | |||
R. Todd Joyce |
40%/$224,147 | 80%/$448,294 | 180%/$1,008,662 | |||
Robert A. Stewart |
45%/$292,500 | 90%/$585,000 | 202.5%/$1,316,250 | |||
Sigurdur Olafsson |
45%/$337,500 | 90%/$675,000 | 202.5%/$1,518,750 | |||
G. Frederick Wilkinson |
45%/$295,240 | 90%/$590,497 | 202.5%/$1,328,578 |
In the case of Mr. Bisaro, the Compensation Committee determined that it made sense for his target payout level to be higher than that of the other Named Executive Officers based on its assessment of Mr. Bisaros overall leadership position in the Company and his role in formulating long-term strategies and other initiatives.
Maximum performance under the Cash Bonus Program results in earning 225% of target payouts (150% adjustment factor for weighted corporate Adjusted EBITDA plus, if applicable, weighted segment contribution x 150% adjustment for NEOs individual performance). Threshold payouts are based on the minimum level of performance for which payouts are authorized and results in earning 50% of the Named Executive Officers target incentive award. No minimum bonus amount is payable to any of our NEOs under the 162(m) Plan.
Performance Goals
The 2013 Cash Bonus Program performance goals consisted of corporate and individual goals and, for some NEOs, segment financial goals.
Corporate Financial Performance. The Corporate Financial Performance metric for 2013 consisted of Adjusted EBITDA. For the purpose of measuring Corporate Financial Performance, Adjusted EBITDA means our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for share-based compensation, acquisition or licensing related charges, restructuring charges, litigation gains or losses, charges associated with our global supply chain initiative, non-cash charges, gains or losses on debt repurchase, gains or losses on sales of operating assets or securities and such other special items as determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
The Compensation Committee believes that Adjusted EBITDA is the best indicator of Corporate Financial Performance because it facilitates analysis by management and investors in evaluating the Companys financial performance and comparing it against companies in its peer group.
The Compensation Committee used a performance grid that established various Adjusted EBITDA milestones necessary for full or partial funding of the annual incentive award for Corporate Financial Performance. Between threshold and maximum potential funding were intermediate levels of funding that were generally proportionate to corresponding Adjusted EBITDA achievement, though with a relatively larger reduction in funding for a failure to achieve a given milestone at or above the annual target.
In calculating Adjusted EBITDA for 2013, the Compensation Committee gave consideration to the positive impact that including Warner Chilcotts results for the fourth quarter of 2013 would have had on the Companys full year 2013 Adjusted EBITDA. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined the Companys Corporate Financial Performance to be achieved at 110.0% of Target Adjusted EBITDA of $1.906 billion, which percentage was still much lower than the Corporate Financial Performance that would have resulted from the actual inclusion of Warner Chilcotts results in Adjusted EBITDA, and applied such metric to each of the NEOs.
Segment Contribution. For executives who have direct responsibility for the performance of specific business segments, the performance of the segments (Segment Contribution) is also considered in determining the annual incentive bonus. This consideration recognizes that each business segment has its own measures of performance and achievement that may differ from overall corporate measures or from the measures used by our other
174
segments, and that the executives who have direct oversight and control over specific segments should be specifically compensated based on the performance of such segments. In the case of Mr. Stewart, our President of Global Operations, 80% of his 2013 bonus opportunity was based on Corporate Financial Performance and 20% was based on the performance of the Anda Distribution business segment. In the case of Mr. Olafsson, the head of the Actavis Pharma business segment, 50% of his 2013 bonus opportunity was based on Corporate Financial Performance and 50% was based on the performance of the Actavis Pharma business segment. In the case of Mr. Wilkinson, our President of Actavis Global Research and Development, 50% of his 2013 bonus opportunity was based on Corporate Financial Performance and 50% was based on the performance of the Global Brands business segment. Because their responsibilities relate to the Company as a whole rather than a particular business segment, the bonus for each of Messrs. Bisaro and Joyce was based on Corporate Financial Performance, without reference to the performance of a specific business segment.
For the purpose of measuring Segment Contribution, Adjusted Contribution was used, which means a business segments contribution to our operating profit as reported in our filings with the SEC, adjusted for any reconciling item of the relevant segment that was excluded in determining Adjusted EBITDA.
In determining the portion of Messrs. Stewarts, Olafssons and Wilkinsons annual incentive award attributable to Adjusted Contribution, the Compensation Committee used performance grids reflecting specific levels of Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the respective business segments for which they had direct responsibility and then further adjusted the resulting target opportunity percentages as described below.
Between threshold and maximum funding were intermediate levels of potential funding that were generally proportionate to corresponding Adjusted Contribution milestones, though with a relatively larger reduction in funding for a failure to achieve a given milestone below the annual target.
Actual performance for 2013 compared with the following target Adjusted Contribution amounts under the performance grids resulted in the following:
1. | Target Adjusted Contribution of $73.4 million for Anda Distribution resulted in 148.3% of the target opportunity being payable to Mr. Stewart based on Segment Contribution for Anda Distribution. The Compensation Committee adjusted this percentage downwards to 130.0% to offset an unexpected product launch in 2013 which had raised the Anda Distribution Adjusted Contribution amount in 2013. |
2. | Target Adjusted Contribution of $2.15 billion for Actavis Pharma resulted in 103.3% of the target opportunity being payable to Mr. Olafsson based on Segment Contribution for Actavis Pharma. The Compensation Committee adjusted this percentage upwards to 110.0% in order to account for the effects of changes that were made to the businesses in 2013 which are expected to enhance the long-term business but which may have reduced Actavis Pharmas Adjusted Contribution amount in 2013. |
3. | Target Adjusted Contribution of $106.1 million for Global Brands resulted in 135.5% of the target opportunity being payable to Mr. Wilkinson based on Segment Contribution for Global Brands. The Compensation Committee adjusted this percentage downwards to 120.0% to reflect the Compensation Committees determination that decreased research and development expense had contributed to Global Brands Adjusted Contribution amount in 2013. |
Individual Performance. The Compensation Committee also recognizes that individual performance is a key element to consider in determining the overall cash incentive award available to an executive. To this end, our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of each of our Named Executive Officers (other than himself) on the basis of specific objective and subjective factors and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning their compensation, including with respect to adjustments to their target cash bonus payments. No specific weight is assigned to any of the factors considered.
In 2013, the adjustment to reflect individual performance could have been a multiplier ranging from 0% to 150% of a Named Executive Officers bonus as otherwise determined based on the Corporate Financial Performance
175
and Segment Contribution Goals. The Compensation Committee takes the Chief Executive Officers recommendations into account in determining adjustments to annual cash incentive awards. The Chief Executive Officers bonus is subject to a similar adjustment based on his individual performance, which is determined by the Compensation Committee.
Mr. Bisaros individual performance adjustment for 2013 was based on the Compensation Committees assessment of his success in implementing the following strategic goals:
i. | Continuing to strengthen all the components of the Companys diversified businesses Actavis Pharma, Actavis Specialty Brands and Actavis Global Operations through organic growth and business development opportunities; |
ii. | Ensuring that the Company continues to successfully capture the value of its strategic investments, including synergies; |
iii. | Ensuring that the Company continues to invest and ultimately capture the value from its organic growth drivers, particularly through robust investment in R&D; |
iv. | Continue the optimization of the Companys global supply chain; |
v. | Continuously improve the Companys quality systems; |
vi. | Continue to recruit and retain key executives across the expanded global footprint and develop and maintain succession plans for our senior leaders; and |
vii. | Continue to effectively communicate with domestic and international stockholders and prospective stockholders regarding the investment value of Actavis. |
Performance Goals of Other NEOs. In consultation with the Compensation Committee, our Chief Executive Officer assigned specific individual performance goals for 2013 to our other NEOs that were tailored to the scope and nature of their responsibilities and the business segment(s) they serve.
Retention Bonuses
On November 5, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of retention bonuses payable in cash to the Named Executive Officers and certain other officers of the Company (the Retention Awards). The Compensation Committee determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to grant the Retention Awards in order to ensure such officers continued retention and service to the Company. As described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition below, the Board of Directors determined it was appropriate to provide new incentive and retention arrangements for the NEOs following the acceleration of their equity awards in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition.
The total retention bonus amounts payable to each of the NEOs are set forth in the table below next to such officers name:
Paul M. Bisaro |
President & CEO | $ | 5,000,000 | |||
Sigurdur Olafsson |
President, Actavis Pharma | $ | 4,000,000 | |||
Robert A. Stewart |
President, Global Operations | $ | 3,000,000 | |||
G. Frederick Wilkinson |
President, Actavis Global Research and Development | $ | 2,000,000 | |||
R. Todd Joyce |
Chief Financial OfficerGlobal | $ | 1,000,000 |
The Retention Awards provide that the officer must be employed as a regular full-time employee by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the applicable vesting date, except as otherwise described below. Awards of $1,000,000 or less will vest 100% on January 1, 2015 and will be payable, less appropriate withholding of taxes, no later than March 1, 2015. Awards in excess of $1,000,000 will vest 50% on January 1, 2015 and 50% on January 1, 2016, and will in each case be payable, less appropriate withholding of taxes, within 60 days of the
176
date such vesting occurs. In the event an officers employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the officer for good reason, in each case as defined in the relevant Retention Award agreements, or is terminated for death or disability, any unpaid portion of any outstanding Retention Award granted to the officer will become payable within 30 days following the date of such termination.
Special Bonus
On March 5, 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the payment of a discretionary bonus in cash (the Special Bonus) to Mr. Bisaro in the amount of $1,318,750. The Compensation Committee determined it was in the best interests of the Company to award the Special Bonus in recognition of the Companys exceptional financial and strategic performance in 2013, including the acquisition and integration of Warner Chilcott in 2013.
LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVES
The Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity-based incentive awards provide a valuable tool for aligning the interests of management with our shareholders and focusing managements attention on our long-term growth. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that equity-based awards are essential to attract and retain the talented professionals and managers needed for our continued success.
OVERALL DESIGN AND MIX OF GRANT TYPES
The following table summarizes the overall design and mix of our annual long-term equity incentives granted in 2013:
Form of Award |
Percentage of Total Target Long-Term Incentive Award Value |
Purpose |
Performance Measured |
Earned and Vesting Periods | ||||||
Time Award (time-vested restricted stock) | 33.3% | Encourages retention Fosters shareholder mentality among the executive team |
4 year vesting, with 1/4 of the award vesting on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries following grant date | |||||||
Adjusted EBITDA Performance Award (restricted stock units) | 33.3% | Encourages retention Ties executive compensation to our operational performance |
Adjusted EBITDA |
Earned at end of one-year performance period based on Adjusted EBITDA; once earned, subject to time-based vesting: 1/4 of the award vests on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of grant date | ||||||
TSR Performance Award (restricted stock units) | 33.3% | Encourages retention Ties executive compensation to our long-term market performance |
TSR | Earned and vest after three-year performance period based on TSR |
Since 2011, the percentage mix described in the chart above is based on the dollar value of the awards granted; prior to that year, we granted equity awards according to fixed share number guidelines. With the advice and assistance of F.W. Cook, we shifted to fixed dollar awards to create better alignment between the intended target value of awards and the value actually delivered on the grant date. We began granting TSR Performance Awards
177
in 2011. The Companys TSR refers to the Companys share price performance (and dividends, if any) ranked relative to the performance of its peer company group during the relevant period. Prior to 2011, we granted only Time Awards and Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards. We believe that the use of both TSR and Adjusted EBITDA measures balances operational and market performance and focuses executives on the Companys strategic business goal of cash generation as well as the Companys performance compared to a broad index of companies.
In addition to our regular annual equity grants, on March 6, 2013, the Company also awarded special retention stock option grants to Messrs. Olaffson and Stewart. We believe the ten year term and vesting schedule (50% vesting after three years and 50% vesting after 5 years) of these stock options provided additional incentives to these individuals to remain with the Company and to focus on long-term growth and corporate financial performance. However, because all of the equity awards held by our NEOs were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition below, these special retention stock option grants are no longer outstanding.
2013 TIME AWARDS
One-third of the aggregate dollar value of our NEOs annual equity awards granted in 2013 was in the form of time-based vesting restricted stock awards (Time Awards). The actual number of shares granted was determined on the basis of the Companys closing share price on the date of grant. Once granted, the awards vest based solely on continued service with the Company, with 1/4 of the award vesting on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.
Because all of the Time Awards held by our NEOs were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition below, none of these awards remain currently outstanding.
2013 ADJUSTED EBITDA PERFORMANCE AWARDS
One-third of the aggregate dollar value of our NEOs annual equity awards granted in 2013 was in the form of one-year Company performance restricted stock unit grants (each, an Adjusted EBITDA Performance Award). The Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards are earned based on Adjusted EBITDA performance against target during 2013. The number of shares that can be earned may range from 0% to 150% of the target, depending on performance (with interpolation between performance levels) as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA |
Percentage of Target Shares Earned | |||
Below $1.525 billion (80% of target Adjusted EBITDA) |
None | |||
$1.525 billion (80% of target Adjusted EBITDA, Base Threshold) |
50% | |||
$1.906 billion (Target) |
100% | |||
$2.516 billion (132% of target Adjusted EBITDA, Upper Threshold) (or higher) |
150% |
Once earned, Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards will settle in the form of restricted shares and continue to be subject to time-based vesting of 1/4 of the award on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date (which equates to the conclusion of the 1-year performance period and one, two, and three years, respectively, following the conclusion of the 1-year performance period).
In connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition below, all of the Adjusted EBITDA Performance awards held by our NEOs were accelerated and none of these awards remain currently outstanding. 2013
178
Adjusted EBITDA Performance awards were deemed earned at 100% based on the Adjusted EBITDA value most recently reported by the Company prior to the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and annualized.
2013 TSR PERFORMANCE AWARDS
One-third of the aggregate dollar value of our NEOs annual equity awards granted in 2013 was in the form of restricted stock unit awards to be earned based on the Companys TSR for the 3-year performance period from January 2013 through December 2015 relative to the Companys peer company group (each, a TSR Performance Award). Earned TSR Performance Awards vest at the end of the 3-year performance period and will be settled as soon as administratively feasible thereafter. The number of shares that may be earned may range from 0% to 150% of the target, depending on performance (with linear interpolation between performance levels) as follows:
TSR |
Percentage of Target Shares Earned | |||
Below 25th percentile of peer group |
None | |||
25th percentile of peer group (Base Threshold) |
25% | |||
50th percentile of peer group (Target) |
100% | |||
75th percentile of peer group (Upper Threshold) |
150% |
In the event that the Company has a negative TSR on an absolute basis at the end of the three-year performance period, then the maximum number of shares that could be earned, regardless of the Companys TSR relative to its peer company group, would be 100% of target.
In 2011 and prior years, we used the same peer group for purposes of the TSR Performance Awards as we used in setting compensation generally, as described above. Beginning in 2012, we used a different peer group for purposes of the TSR Performance Awards. This peer group consists of companies in the Standard & Poors Healthcare Index sharing the same six-digit Global Industry Classification number as that of the Company. This peer group was selected in order to ensure that the Companys performance can be measured consistently and transparently over the long term against an appropriate index of companies in our industry. Using a peer group based on a relevant index as opposed to a smaller group of peer companies selected at the beginning of a given three year period will also enable us to avoid situations in which, at the end of a given three year period, our peer group of companies has either been significantly diminished as a result of industry consolidation, or as the businesses of members of the peer group evolve in ways that make them unsuitable for inclusion in our peer company group. For purposes of evaluating the competitiveness of our overall executive compensation, however, we use a smaller group of peer companies with businesses that are generally similar to ours and which have comparable market capitalization and revenues, as further described under Market Competitiveness Review, above. We believe that this carefully focused group of peer companies provides us with relevant data on compensation paid to executives performing similar functions to our NEOs in similar companies that we believe we compete with for executive talent.
Because all of the TSR Performance Awards held by our NEOs were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition below, none of these awards remain currently outstanding. Each of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 TSR Performance Awards were deemed earned at 150%, based on (i) an assumed last day of the three-year performance period of September 23, 2013 and an assumed ending stock price of the average closing sales price per share for the 30 business day period ending on September 23, 2013 and (ii) a review of our TSR for the modified performance periods against the peer group during the same modified performance periods, which in each case exceeded 75% of the peer group.

DETERMINATION OF 2014 TARGET LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD VALUES
The Compensation Committee anticipates it will award long-term incentive awards for fiscal year 2014 to the Named Executive Officers following the six month period after the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, consistent with the form and mix of awards granted to the Named Executive Officers in prior years.
In determining the size of equity-based grants, the Compensation Committee considers the number of shares available under The 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Actavis plc (the Equity Award Plan), the potential dilutive impact of such grants on our shareholders, the individuals position with us, the appropriate allocation of such grants based on individual and corporate performance, and the level of grants awarded by our peers.
Equity Grant Timing
Our Named Executive Officers generally receive equity-based grants when they join us and annually thereafter as part of the Compensation Committees determination of the executive officers annual total compensation. Annual equity grants are typically determined in the first quarter of each calendar year. All equity awards are approved before or on the date of grant. The date of the meetings at which the annual grants are made is set in March of the preceding year.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
In order to better align the interests of our Board and management with those of our shareholders in a fair and reasonable manner, as well as to implement what we believe is a corporate governance best practice, we adopted share ownership guidelines for our senior executives in 2011.
Each of the following individuals is required to own shares in the Company with a value equal to the following multiple of his or her base salary:
Executive Level |
Market Value of Ordinary Shares Required to be Owned as a Multiple of Base Salary |
|||
Chief Executive Officer |
4x | |||
Division Presidents (including all other NEOs) |
2x | |||
Senior Vice Presidents |
1x |
Shares counted toward the stock ownership requirements include: (i) vested ordinary shares held of record or in a brokerage account by the individual or his or her spouse; and (ii) unvested restricted stock. Outstanding stock options and performance awards with respect to which the actual number of shares to be awarded have not yet been determined do not count toward satisfaction of the ownership requirements. Our Named Executive Officers are all currently in compliance with the Companys stock ownership guidelines.
Prohibitions on Hedging and Pledging of Our Shares
Our insider trading policy prohibits any Named Executive Officer or any other officer or employee subject to its terms from entering into short sales or derivative transactions to hedge their economic exposure to our shares. In addition, these officers and employees are prohibited from pledging our shares as security for any loan.
ACCELERATION OF EQUITY AWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE WARNER CHILCOTT ACQUISITION
The Compensation Committee reviewed the rationale underlying the decision by the Actavis, Inc. Board of Directors to accelerate the vesting of the Section 16 officers equity awards in connection with the Warner
180
Chilcott Acquisition, as well as the implications of US Internal Revenue Code Section 4985 (which would have imposed a 15% excise tax being levied on the value of the unvested portion of each of Actavis, Inc.s Section 16 officers and directors equity awards).
In approving the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Actavis, Inc. Board of Directors carefully considered the potential impact of the imposition of the Section 4985 excise tax on Actavis, Inc.s Section 16 officers and directors, including the current NEOs, determining that it would not have been appropriate to permit a significant burden arising from a transaction that was in the interests of stockholders to be imposed on the individuals most responsible for consummating the transaction and ensuring the success of the combined companies. Given two possible approaches for mitigating the impact of the Section 4985 excise tax (either (a) grossing-up the Section 16 reporting officers and directors of Actavis, Inc. for the Section 4985 excise tax payable as a result of the transaction, or (b) accelerating the vesting of these officers and directors equity awards), the Actavis, Inc. board of directors determined that accelerating the vesting of these individuals equity awards would be less costly and more tax efficient for the Company than a gross-up. The Actavis, Inc. board of directors had also considered that, following the acquisition, the Company would be able to provide appropriate new incentive and retention arrangements for Section 16 reporting officers without triggering the Section 4985 excise tax. See Retention Bonuses above for a description of the retention bonuses which were granted following the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition.
The tables below set forth the compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and that became payable to each of our NEOs in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, which closed on October 1, 2013.

(1) | The amounts in this column reflect the value of the accelerated vesting of the Named Executive Officers unvested equity awards that occurred immediately prior to the effective time, as provided by the transaction agreement in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. In connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Named Executive Officers were entitled to receive our ordinary shares in exchange for Actavis, Inc. equity awards and not cash payments. The acceleration of these equity awards was deemed to be single-trigger because it occurred immediately prior to the effective time and was not conditioned upon a termination or resignation of service. The following table breaks down these amounts by type of award. The values in the following table were calculated using a price per share of $144.00, the September 30, 2013 closing price per share of Actavis, Inc. common shares. The estimated aggregate value of these interests was approximately $116.3 million net of any applicable exercise price, or approximately $56.0 million net of any applicable exercise price and estimated tax withholdings. |

(a) | The value of each unvested option was calculated in accordance with SEC rules as the difference between (a) $144.00 (the September 30, 2013 closing price per share of Actavis, Inc. common shares) and (b) its exercise price. |
(b) | Restricted stock awards subject to performance-based vesting were already earned pursuant to their terms based on performance in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, and were only subject to time-based vesting. |
(c) | 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards were earned at 103.4% for performance in 2012. 2013 Adjusted EBITDA Performance awards were deemed earned at 100% based on the Adjusted EBITDA value most recently reported by the Company prior to the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and annualized. Each of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 TSR Performance Awards were deemed earned at 150%, based on (i) an assumed last day of the three-year performance period of September 23, 2013 and an assumed ending stock price of the average closing sales price per share for the 30 business day period ending on September 23, 2013 and (ii) a review of our TSR for the modified performance periods against the peer group during the same modified performance periods, which in each case exceeded 75% of the peer group. |
The incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the TSR Performance Awards held by the NEOs in connection with the full acceleration of vesting in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, is described in the 2013 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Time Awards or the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards in connection with the full acceleration.
PERQUISITES AND OTHER PERSONAL BENEFITS
We provide our Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe have a business purpose and are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program and better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee believes these benefits and perquisites provide a more tangible incentive with a greater perceived value than an equivalent amount of cash compensation.
The Named Executive Officers are provided with a monthly car allowance, mandatory annual physical exams, partial reimbursement for financial planning assistance, and participation in the plans and programs described below under the heading Other BenefitsGenerally Available Benefits.
The car allowance is intended to cover expenses related to the lease, purchase, insurance and maintenance of a vehicle. It is provided in recognition of the need to have executive officers visit customers, business partners and other stakeholders in order to fulfill their job responsibilities. The mandatory annual physical exams are required to monitor the physical health of our executives and to discover potential health issues that could interfere with their duties at the Company. The financial planning assistance covers 50% of eligible expenses resulting from financial, estate and tax planning up to a maximum of $3,000 per year. We believe that it is in its best interest for the executives to have professional assistance in managing their total compensation so that they can focus their full attention on growing and managing the business. The Company believes that providing relocation benefits is consistent with market practices and supports its goal of fostering cohesion and communication among its senior executives.
In connection with the November 2012 amendment and restatement of Mr. Bisaros employment agreement, we added a provision allowing personal use of the Companys aircraft by him and his family members and guests traveling with him in an amount not to exceed $110,000 per year. We believe that the use of corporate aircraft provides for a more efficient use of Mr. Bisaros time and also provides a more secure traveling environment where sensitive business issues may be discussed.
All taxes payable on the value of the benefits described above are borne by the recipient of such benefits.
182
OTHER BENEFITS
Generally Available Benefits
We provide the following benefits to our Named Executive Officers generally on the same basis as the benefits provided to all employees:
| Health, dental and vision insurance; |
| Life insurance; |
| Short- and long-term disability; |
| Educational assistance; and |
| 401(k) plan. |
Executive Compensation Deferral Program
Our Named Executive Officers, in addition to certain other U.S.-based eligible management level employees, are entitled to participate in our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. We believe that, because the Company does not offer a defined benefit pension plan, such a deferred compensation arrangement should be included as a component of a market competitive compensation program to assist participants in planning and saving for their retirement. Pursuant to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees may defer from 1% to 80% of their salary and from 1% to 80% of their annual cash incentive award, if any, each year.
We match 50% of the first 2% an employee defers in accordance with this Plan. Vesting of the matched amount is based on an employees years of service with us. If an employee has been with us for less than one year, none of the matched amount is vested. Vesting thereafter occurs 33% per year, such that employees who have been with us for more than 3 years are 100% vested in the matched amount.
All contributions to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan have a guaranteed fixed interest rate of return. This guaranteed rate is adjusted annually based on the Prime interest rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of November. In 2013, the guaranteed interest rate was 3.25%.
Severance Benefits
Pursuant to each of our Named Executive Officers respective employment agreements or other terms of employment, in the event of termination of employment by us without cause, or if the Named Executive Officer resigns for good reason, we will provide the Named Executive Officer with severance compensation and benefits, including a lump sum severance payment (or, in the case of Messrs. Olafsson, Stewart and Wilkinson, bi-weekly salary continuation during the applicable period) that varies among the Named Executive Officers, a prorated bonus for certain Named Executive Officers and continued group health insurance benefits and outplacement services for a specified period of time. The severance benefits are designed to retain our executive officers by providing them with security in the event of a termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason.
If the termination of employment by us without cause or by the Named Executive Officer for good reason occurs within specified periods before or following a change-in-control, certain of the Named Executive Officers are entitled to increased cash severance benefits and all of the Named Executive Officers are entitled to the immediate vesting of any unvested equity awards held. These cash and equity benefits are payable only upon a double trigger there must be a change-in-control and a termination or resignation for good reason. We believe this approach to be in our best interests in that it (1) provides a retention incentive to our Named Executive Officers who may be faced with the potential of job loss following a change-in-control and (2) affords any successor entity the opportunity to retain any or all Named Executive Officers following such a change-in-control.
183
In addition, in the event of a termination as a result of a change-in-control of the Company, Mr. Joyce is also entitled to receive a gross-up payment to compensate him for any excise tax imposed under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (described further under Tax Considerations below). Such gross-up was provided for in Mr. Joyces employment agreement which was entered into prior to 2010 and has not been enhanced since such entry. In connection with the November 2012 amendment and restatement of Mr. Bisaros employment agreement, we replaced his entitlement to an excise tax gross-up payment with a best net provision that his payments will be reduced if excise taxes would otherwise be triggered, to the extent that such a reduction results in a greater after-tax amount for him. The Company does not plan to include any gross-up payments in any future arrangements.
Further information on the severance compensation and benefits is provided under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.
CLAWBACK POLICIES; RECOUPMENT OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
Pursuant to Mr. Bisaros amended and restated employment agreement with the Company, in the event of a significant restatement of the Companys financial statements (other than due to a change in generally accepted accounting rules or their interpretation by the Companys auditors, or as a result of events the Board determines were beyond Mr. Bisaros control and responsibility) occurring at any time up to three years following the termination of Mr. Bisaros employment with the Company, the Board will review all compensation that was provided to him on the basis of having met or exceeded specific performance targets for performance periods beginning after January 1, 2009 that occur during the restatement period. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board will seek to recoup from Mr. Bisaro the amount by which his incentive compensation for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment he would have received based on the restated financial results on a net after-tax basis, plus a reasonable rate of interest. However, the Board will not seek to recoup incentive compensation paid more than three (3) years before the date such restatement is disclosed. The foregoing would apply to amounts received by Mr. Bisaro in the form of both his annual cash incentive award and his performance-based equity awards.
In addition to the recoupment provision in Mr. Bisaros employment agreement, the 162(m) Plan also provides that the Compensation Committee has the discretion to require a participant to repay the income, if any, derived from an award under the plan in the event of a restatement of the Companys financial results within three years after payment of such award to correct a material error that is determined by the Compensation Committee to be the result of fraud or intentional misconduct.
These clawback policies help ensure that incentive compensation is payable only if the applicable underlying performance goals are met, consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Policy on Deductibility of Executive Compensation
In establishing total compensation for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the effect of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation over $1 million paid for any fiscal year to the Chief Executive Officer and the three other highest paid executive officers other than the Chief Financial Officer unless the compensation qualifies as performance-based. While the Compensation Committee generally seeks to preserve the deductibility of most compensation paid to executive officers, the primary objective of the compensation program is to support the Companys business strategy. Thus, the Compensation Committee believes it should have flexibility in awarding compensation, even though some compensation awards may result in non-deductible compensation expenses, and accordingly the Compensation Committee may, in its judgment, provide for non-deductible compensation awards.
184

(1) | Salary includes annual salary and cash paid in lieu of vacation and reflects salary merit increases, as described under Base Salary above, effective as of March 29, 2013. Amounts include cash compensation earned but deferred, as applicable, under the Companys deferred compensation plan. Participants in these plans may defer receipt of portions of salary and/or annual non-equity incentive plan compensation earned for the year into Actavis Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Actavis Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is discussed in further detail above under Executive Compensation Deferral Program under the heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis and below under the heading 2013 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. |
(2) | Bonus amounts for 2013 include the Special Bonus paid to Mr. Bisaro in March 2014 with respect to 2013, as described under Special Bonus above. |
(3) | Stock awards for 2013 represent (i) the aggregate grant date fair value of 2013 restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants issued pursuant to Time Awards, Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards and TSR Performance Awards, in each case computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and (ii) the incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the TSR Performance Awards held by the NEOs in connection with the full acceleration of vesting in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, which is described under Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition above. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Time Awards or the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards. The grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants issued pursuant to the 2013 Time Awards and Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards is based on the fair market value of our common stock of $86.86 on the issuance date of March 6, 2013. The grant date fair value of the TSR Performance Awards is based on a valuation of the expected target payout for those awards on the date those awards were granted using Monte Carlo valuation methodology. Using this methodology, the per share grant date fair value of our common stock, based on a market price of $86.86 on the issuance date of March 6, 2013 was $71.90. The maximum possible value of the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards on the date they were granted was as follows: $3,000,058 for Mr. Bisaro, $875,028 for Mr. Joyce, $1,000,019 for Mr. Olafsson, $949,988 for Mr. Stewart and $875,028 for Mr. Wilkinson. The maximum possible value of the TSR Performance Awards on the date they were granted was as follows: $2,483,282 for Mr. Bisaro, $724,249 for Mr. Joyce, $827,857 for Mr. Olafsson, $786,442 for Mr. Stewart and $724,249 for Mr. Wilkinson. For additional discussion on the assumptions used in determining fair value and the accounting for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, see Share-Based Compensation in Note 3 and Note 5 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. |
185
(4) | The dollar amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock option awards granted during the indicated fiscal year, as determined in accordance with ASC 718. The grant date fair value of options is based on a Black-Scholes grant date fair value of $21.63 per share. The closing share price on the date of issuance was $86.86 per share. All such Option Awards were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition above. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Option Awards in connection with the full acceleration of our equity awards in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. |
(5) | Non-equity incentive plan compensation represents payment under our annual cash incentives award program for the fiscal year stated but paid in March of the following year. For additional discussion on our annual cash incentive award program, see Annual Cash Incentive Awards above under the heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis and below under the heading 2013 Grants of Plan-Based Awards. |
(6) | No amounts have been included in this column with respect to earnings credited on contributions to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, because those earnings are not above-market or preferential. We do not offer a defined benefit pension plan for our Named Executive Officers or other employees. |

(1) | Annual Cash Incentive Awards: The maximum amounts shown in the table reflect the largest possible payouts to our Named Executive Officers under our 162(m) Plan for the 2013 performance period based on operating income, as defined under that plan. There are no thresholds or targets under the 162(m) Plan. The 162(m) Plan provides the Compensation Committee with the ability to use negative discretion to award any amount that does not exceed the maximum. The Compensation Committees practice has been to exercise such discretion to reduce the maximum 162(m) Plan award payable to each Named Executive Officer by applying the performance goals established under our Cash Bonus Program. The actual amounts awarded under our 162(m) Plan for 2013 are reported as Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. For a description of the 162(m) Plan and the performance goals under the Cash Bonus Program, including the threshold, target and maximum possible payouts for our Named Executive Officers and the use of the Cash Bonus Program goals in the Compensation Committees exercise of negative discretion, see Annual Cash Incentive Awards. For additional discussion of our annual cash incentive award program, see Annual Cash Incentive Awards. |
(2) | 2013 Time Awards: Represents the restricted stock issued on March 6, 2013 pursuant to 2013 Time Awards. All such Time Awards were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. Restrictions were to lapse equally on the restricted stock grants on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The fair value of Time Award restricted stock grants is based on the fair market value of our common stock of $86.86 on the issuance date of March 6, 2013. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Time Awards in connection with the full acceleration of our equity awards in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. |
(3) | Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards: Represents the number of Adjusted EBITDA Performance Award shares issued in 2013 for the 2013 performance period based on 2013 Corporate Financial Performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company provides performance-based annual equity incentive awards to our Chief Executive Officer under a compensation program administered by the Compensation Committee and for our other executive officers. Under these programs, our senior executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, receive restricted stock units that settle in the form of restricted stock based on the Companys performance during the fiscal year as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. The threshold value of the issuance represents the minimum level of performance for which issuances are authorized under the program and is equal to 50% of the target value of the issuances. Maximum payouts represent 150% of target value. Once earned, restricted shares underlying Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards will continue to be subject to time based vesting of 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the beginning of the 1-year performance period. The grant date fair value of the 2013 Performance Awards is based on the expected target payout for those awards on the date those awards were granted. The fair market value of our common stock on the grant date of March 6, 2013 was $86.86. All such Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Awards in connection with the full acceleration of our equity awards in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. |
(4) | TSR Performance Awards: Under our equity incentive award programs, our senior executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, receive an award of restricted stock units that vest based on the Companys performance. The performance metric for the TSR Performance Awards granted in 2013 is the Companys TSR for the 3-year performance period from January 2013 through December 2015 against the Companys TSR peer company group. Earned TSR Performance Awards vest at the end of the 3-year performance period and will be settled as soon as administratively feasible thereafter. The grant date fair value of the TSR Performance Awards is based on a valuation of the expected target payout for those awards on the date those awards were granted using Monte Carlo valuation methodology. Using this methodology, the per share grant date fair value of our common stock, based on a market price of $86.86 on the issuance date of March 6, 2013, was $71.90. All outstanding TSR Performance Awards were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. The acceleration of the TSR Performance Awards was treated as an award modification that resulted in incremental fair value recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. |
(5) | Option Awards: The dollar amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock option awards granted during the indicated fiscal year, as determined in accordance with ASC 718. The grant date fair value of options is based on a Black-Scholes grant date fair value of $21.63 per share. The closing share price on the date of issuance was $86.86 per share. All such Option Awards were accelerated in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. There was no incremental fair value, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, associated with the modification of the Option Awards in connection with the full acceleration of our equity awards in the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. |
2013 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
Due to the acceleration of all of the outstanding equity awards held by the Companys Section 16 officers, including the NEOs, in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, as described in Acceleration of Equity Awards in Connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, there were no outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2013.

(2) | Registrant contributions reflect company matching contributions to the Deferred Plan in 2013. All Registrant contributions are reported in the All Other Compensation column for 2013 of the Summary Compensation Table. |
(3) | Aggregate earnings represent 2012 deemed investment earnings at the guaranteed fixed interest rate for 2013 of 3.25%. No other investment alternatives for amounts deferred or credited are offered under the Deferred Plan. |

189
Pursuant to the Deferred Plan, eligible employees may defer from 1% to 80% of their salary and from 1% to 80% of their annual cash incentive award, if any. We match 50% of the first 2% an employee defers in accordance with this Plan. Vesting of the matched amount is based on an employees years of service with us. If an employee has been with us for less than one year, none of the matched amount is vested. Vesting thereafter occurs 33% per year, such that employees who have been with us for more than 3 years are 100% vested in the matched amount.
All contributions to our Deferred Plan have a guaranteed fixed interest rate of return. This guaranteed rate is adjusted annually based on the Prime interest rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of November. In 2013, the guaranteed interest rate was 3.25%.
Assets in the Deferred Plan are distributed either (i) at separation of service as a result of retirement, disability, termination or death; or (ii) on a designated date elected by the participant. The Deferred Plan requires participants to make an annual distribution election with respect to the money to be deferred in the next calendar year. If a participant so elects, deferrals made in one year may be distributed as soon as the next year following the deferral election. Participants may elect to receive a distribution as a lump-sum cash payment or in installment payments paid over 2 to 15 years, as the participant elects. Bonus deferrals are credited to a participants account the year following the year in which the bonus is earned. As a result, bonus deferrals may not be distributed until the year following the year in which the bonus is paid to a participant and credited to his or her account. Per regulatory requirements, participants may not accelerate distributions from the Deferred Plan.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS
Each of our Named Executive Officers is party to an employment agreement or arrangement pursuant to which he is entitled to certain payments and benefits in the event of an involuntary termination without cause or the resignation of the executive for good reason, which differ depending on whether the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control. Mr. Bisaro is also entitled to certain additional payments and benefits in the event of certain other types of termination, as described below. Following is a summary of the termination and change-in-control provisions of each Named Executive Officers agreement or arrangement. Following such summary is a table estimating the values of the applicable payments and benefits, as well as the definitions of change-in-control, cause, good reason and qualifying termination, which differ slightly among the executives.
Paul M. Bisaro
Mr. Bisaro is entitled to the following payments and benefits in the event of a termination by us without cause or by Mr. Bisaro for good reason:
(1) | (A) if the termination is not a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (i) two times Mr. Bisaros then base salary and (ii) two times Mr. Bisaros target annual bonus for the year of termination or resignation and (B) if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control, the sum of (i) three times Mr. Bisaros base salary and (ii) three times Mr. Bisaros target bonus for the year of termination or resignation; |
(2) | continued group health benefits (medical, dental and vision) for Mr. Bisaro and Mr. Bisaros dependents for a period of up to 36 months; and |
(3) | if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, accelerated vesting of all equity awards. |
Mr. Bisaro is entitled to the same severance benefits if the Company elects not to renew the agreement at the end of his term of employment. He is also entitled to a prorated bonus based on actual company performance at the end of his employment agreement term in such case, or if, at the end of the term, he
190
retires from the Company or does not agree to enter into a new employment agreement or amendment to the existing agreement extending his employment for a period of at least three years on substantially the same terms as his existing agreement. Finally, he is entitled to a prorated target bonus in the event of his death or disability.
In addition, Mr. Bisaros amended and restated agreement provides that Mr. Bisaro will be entitled to continued or accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards in certain circumstances upon his separation from employment with the Company outside of the change-in-control context. Specifically, if Mr. Bisaro retires from his employment at the end of the agreement term, or the Company does not renew the agreement at the end of the agreement term, or Mr. Bisaro is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason at any time after the 54- month anniversary of the agreement, or is terminated for disability, he will be entitled to continued vesting of his unvested equity awards. Additionally, in the event Mr. Bisaros employment is terminated as a result of his death, his estate will be entitled to accelerated vesting of all then unvested equity awards.
The foregoing description does not give effect to the employment agreement entered into between Mr. Bisaro and Actavis, Inc. effective July 1, 2014, upon the closing of Actavis acquisition of Forest Laboratories and Mr. Bisaros assumption of the role of Executive Chairman. The terms of Mr. Bisaros new employment agreement were disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Actavis plc on July 3, 2014.
R. Todd Joyce
Mr. Joyce is entitled to the following payments and benefits in the event of a termination by us without cause or by Mr. Joyce for good reason:
(1) | a lump-sum cash payment payable within 30 days of termination equal the sum of (i) two times Mr. Joyces then base salary and (ii) two times Mr. Joyces target annual bonus for the year of termination or resignation or two times the amount of the bonus paid to Mr. Joyce in the previous year, whichever is greater; |
(2) | a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination or resignation, in the Companys discretion; |
(3) | continued group health benefits (medical, dental and vision) for Mr. Joyce and his dependents for up to 18 months; |
(4) | outplacement services for one year with a nationally recognized service selected by us; and |
(5) | if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, acceleration of all equity awards. |
Robert A. Stewart
Mr. Stewart is entitled to the following payments and benefits in the event of a termination by us without cause or by Mr. Stewart for good reason:
(1) | (A) if the termination is not a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to two times Mr. Stewarts then base salary; and (B) if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to the sum of (i) two times Mr. Stewarts then base salary and (ii) two times Mr. Stewarts target bonus for the year of termination or resignation; |
(2) | continued group health benefits (medical, dental and vision) for Mr. Stewart and his dependents for up to 24 months; |
(3) | outplacement services for one year with a nationally recognized service selected by us; and |
(4) | if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, acceleration of all equity awards. |
191
Sigurdur Olafsson
During 2013, Mr. Olafsson was entitled to the following payments and benefits in the event of a termination by us without cause or by Mr. Olafsson for good reason:
(1) | (A) if the termination is not a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to two times Mr. Olafssons then base salary; and (B) if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to the sum of (i) two times Mr. Olafssons then base salary and (ii) two times Mr. Olafssons target bonus for the year of termination or resignation; |
(2) | continued group health benefits (medical, dental and vision) for Mr. Olafsson and his dependents for up to 24 months; |
(3) | outplacement services for one year with a nationally recognized service selected by us; and |
(4) | if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, acceleration of all equity awards. |
As previously disclosed, Mr. Olafsson left Actavis in connection with the Forest Laboratories transaction. On June 30, 2014, Actavis relieved Mr. Olafsson of his duties as a director and as President, Actavis Pharma, and in connection therewith, Mr. Olafsson resigned from his roles at Actavis. Pursuant to the terms of the retention letter agreement entered into between Mr. Olafsson and Actavis, Mr. Olafsson is entitled to certain retention bonus payments as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Actavis plc on May 22, 2014.
G. Frederick Wilkinson
Mr. Wilkinson is entitled to the following payments and benefits in the event of a termination by us without cause or by Mr. Wilkinson for good reason:
(1) | (A) if the termination is not a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to two times Mr. Wilkinsons then base salary; and (B) if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, payments equal to the sum of (i) two times Mr. Wilkinsons then base salary and (ii) two times Mr. Wilkinsons target bonus for the year of termination or resignation; |
(2) | continued group health benefits (medical, dental and vision) for Mr. Wilkinson and his dependents for up to 24 months; |
(3) | outplacement services for one year with a nationally recognized service selected by us; and |
(4) | if the termination is a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control, acceleration of all equity awards. |
Excise Tax
Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Joyce is also entitled to receive a tax gross-up payment to compensate him for any excise taxes payable under Sections 280G of and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the payments and benefits made under his employment agreement in the event of a qualifying termination in connection with a change-in-control. In Mr. Bisaros amended and restated employment agreement, the excise tax gross-up provision contained in the original employment agreement was replaced with a best net after-tax provision. Specifically, the amended and restated employment agreement provides that in the event it is determined that any payments provided to Mr. Bisaro in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the payment will be reduced to $1.00 below the amount that would otherwise become subject to the excise tax imposed on such payment, to the extent that such reduction results in a greater payment to Mr. Bisaro than would be payable to him without such reduction if the excise tax were applicable.
192
Conditions to Payment
In order to receive their severance benefits, the Named Executive Officers are required to execute a release of claims against the company. In addition, Mr. Bisaro must comply with a 12-month non-solicitation covenant that requires him not to solicit any of our employees or independent contractors and a 24-month non-disparagement covenant in order to receive his severance benefits under his employment agreement. In addition, if he engages in certain competitive activities during the period of time his equity awards remain unvested following his termination of employment, all then-remaining unvested equity awards will be forfeited. Competitive activities generally include Mr. Bisaros being employed by or having any business connection with any entity that competes directly with any significant business or product of the Company, anywhere in the world, in the generic, womens health, urology or biosimilars pharmaceutical sector, with annual revenue of at least 25% of our annual revenue in the relevant competitive market during the time in question.
In order to receive their severance benefits, Messrs. Bisaro and Joyce must comply with a one-year non-solicitation covenant that requires them not to solicit any of our employees or independent contractors.
The Named Executive Officers incentive payments are subject to potential recoupment in the event of certain restatements of our financial results, as described above under Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
ESTIMATED TERMINATION PAYMENTS
In accordance with the requirements of the rules of the SEC, the table below indicates the amount of compensation payable by us to each Named Executive Officer upon certain types of termination of employment. The amounts assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2013 and thus include amounts earned through such date and are only estimates of the amounts that would actually be paid to such executives upon their termination.
The table does not include certain amounts that the Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive under certain plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of our Named Executive Officers and that are generally available to all salaried employees, such as payment of accrued vacation. The table also does not include the accrued and vested accounts of the executives under our Deferred Plan. These amounts are generally distributed to our executives upon a termination of employment, regardless of the reason, in accordance with his or her election under the applicable plan. The accrued and vested amounts under the Deferred Plan are set forth in the table under 2013 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
In May, 2012, on the basis of a review and analysis of director compensation within the Companys peer group, the Company adopted the compensation program described below for its directors. Pursuant to this program, all members of the Board of Directors of Actavis, Inc. who were not full-time employees of the Company received a directors fee of $65,000 and a grant of shares of restricted stock valued at $224,977 on the date of such grant for 2013. In addition, in 2013, non-employee Actavis, Inc. directors were paid $2,000 for each Board of Directors meeting personally attended, through the third quarter of 2013, and $1,000 for each meeting attended telephonically. Directors were also paid $1,500 for each Committee meeting personally attended and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended telephonically. Andrew L. Turner, who previously served as our nonexecutive Chairman of the Board and who currently serves as our lead independent director, received an additional annual fee of $90,000 with respect to 2013. Starting in 2014, the lead independent director will receive an annual fee of $50,000. As compensation for serving as committee chairmen, (i) the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional annual fee of $20,000, (ii) the Chairman of the Compensation Committee received an additional annual fee of $15,000, and (iii) the Chairmen of each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Quality and Operations Committee received an additional annual fee of $12,500. All directors were reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attending Board of Directors and Committee meetings. Messrs. Bisaro and Olafsson do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors.
Following the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, Actavis plc assumed the Actavis, Inc. compensation program for its directors, with the following changes: the fee paid to directors for each Board of Directors meeting personally attended increased from $2,000 to $4,000 per meeting, as the majority of such meetings now require international travel. In addition, as expense reimbursements are subject to payment of Irish tax under a recent interpretation by the Irish Revenue authorities, the Company now provides a gross up in connection with expense reimbursements to the directors in order to avoid any adverse economic effects of this recent interpretation.
As noted above, in order to better align the interests of our Board with those of our shareholders in a fair and reasonable manner, as well as to implement what we believe is a corporate governance best practice, we adopted stock ownership guidelines for our senior executives and directors in 2012. Our ownership guidelines require our directors to hold stock in the Company in an amount at least equal in value to five times their annual base directors fee. Under our guidelines, restricted stock, as well as vested shares of stock owned by a director, are included in the calculation. Each of our directors is currently in compliance with the Companys stock ownership guidelines, with the exception of Messrs. Michal (who was nominated to our Board of Directors in connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and has not yet received a grant of restricted stock from the Company) and Turner, who intend to make good faith progress towards compliance with our guidelines.
In connection with the closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, four legacy Warner Chilcott directors, including Ms. Howson, Mr. Bloem, Dr. King and Mr. OSullivan, joined the Companys Board of Directors, effective as of October 1, 2013. Any compensation the legacy Warner Chilcott directors received from Warner Chilcott for fiscal year 2013 is also included in the table below.
The following table sets forth the annual compensation, including director compensation paid by Warner Chilcott, if applicable, to each person who served as a non-employee director during 2013. None of Messrs. Saunders or Coughlin or Dr. Basgoz are listed in the table below because they joined the Board in 2014.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Actavis plc
On an annual basis the Board of Directors reviews the independence of all directors and affirmatively makes a determination as to the independence of each director. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with Actavis. To assist in making this determination, the Board has adopted Director Independence Standards, which are designed to conform to, or be more exacting than, the independence requirements set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE. The standards are Exhibit A of Actavis Corporate Governance Guidelines, which may be found under the InvestorsCorporate Governance section of the Actavis website at www.Actavis.com. In addition to applying these Director Independence Standards, the Board considers any and all additional relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination.
The Board has determined that at least a majority of its directors has no direct or indirect material relationship with Actavis (other than as a director) and such directors are independent within the meaning of the independence standards promulgated by the SEC and the NYSE. Specifically, on March 6, 2014, the Board determined, based on the Director Independence Standards and the NYSE standards for independence, that James H. Bloem, Christopher W. Bodine, Tamar D. Howson, John A. King, Catherine M. Klema, Jiri Michal, Patrick J. OSullivan, Ronald R. Taylor, Andrew L. Turner and Fred G. Weiss, have no material relationship with us and are independent directors. The Board also determined that Jack Michelson was independent (Mr. Michelson did not stand for re-election to the Board at the 2014 annual stockholder meeting). Mr. Bisaro was determined to be not independent because of his role as an executive officer.
The relationships and transactions reviewed by the Board in making these independence determinations included the following:
(i) | Ms. Klemas membership on the Board of Trustees of the Montefiore Medical Center, a care delivery network, with which we have had dealings in the past; and |
(ii) | Mr. Bloems prior service as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Humana Inc., one of the nations largest health benefit companies, with which we have had and continue to have dealings. |
The Board has determined that these transactions were made in the ordinary course, were below the thresholds set forth in our director categorical independence standards and did not affect the independence of the directors involved.
In connection with their appointments to the Board in July 2014, the Board determined, based on the Director Independence Standards and the NYSE standards for independence, that Dr. Nesli Basgoz and Christopher L. Coughlin have no material relationship with us and are independent directors. Mr. Saunders was determined to be not independent because of his role as an executive officer.
Warner Chilcott Limited
We are not listed on any national stock exchange and are not subject to any independence standards for our Board of Directors. In accordance with SEC rules, we have applied the NYSE standards for independence and have determined that based on their roles as employees with Actavis or one or more of its subsidiaries, none of our directors meet the NYSE standards for independence.
201
ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION RISK
The Compensation Committee of Actavis plc, with the assistance of senior management and the Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant, reviewed the elements of employee compensation to determine whether any portion of employee compensation encouraged excessive risk taking. Among other things, it considered the following:
| Actavis has a balanced mix of annual and longer-term incentive opportunities so that executives motivations for short-term performance are balanced by longer-term considerations. |
| Significant weighting towards long-term incentive compensation composed of restricted stock and restricted stock units helps to discourage short-term risk taking. |
| Goals are appropriately set to be sufficiently challenging but also reasonably achievable with good performance. |
| Reasonable incentive award maximums set by the Compensation Committee are in place. |
| The design of Actavis incentive award program avoids steep payout cliffs at certain performance levels that may encourage short-term business decisions to meet payout thresholds. |
| To reduce the tendency of formulae and other objective financial performance measures to encourage short-term or excessive risk-taking, compensation decisions are not based solely on Actavis financial performance, but also on subjective considerations, which account for non-financial performance and judgment. |
| As a pharmaceutical products business, Actavis does not face the same level of risks typically associated with compensation for employees at companies in industries such as financial services, insurance and trading. |
| Actavis has stock ownership guidelines to further align the interests of its executives with shareholders, as well as clawback policies that require the recoupment of incentive compensation paid based on inaccurate financial statements. |
Based on the above, management has determined that risks arising from these policies and practices for Actavis employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Actavis.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Actavis reviews all relationships and transactions in which Actavis plc and its directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Pursuant to Actavis written Related Person Transaction Policies and Procedures, the legal department is primarily responsible for the implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether Actavis plc or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. In determining whether a proposed transaction is a related person transaction, the legal department assesses:
(i) | the related persons relationship to Actavis plc; |
(ii) | the related persons interest in the transaction; |
(iii) | the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction or, in the case of indebtedness, the amount of principal that would be involved; |
(iv) | the benefits to Actavis plc of the proposed transaction; |
(v) | if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and |
202
(vi) | whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally. |
If the legal department determines that the proposed transaction is a related person transaction, the proposed transaction is submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may only approve or ratify those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interests of Actavis shareholders, as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines in good faith.
As required under SEC rules, Actavis plc discloses in its proxy statement any related person transactions determined to be directly or indirectly material to Actavis or a related person. No reportable transactions occurred since January 1, 2013 or are currently proposed, except as described below.
In 2007, while a member of executive management of the Actavis Group, Sigurdur Olafsson entered into an agreement with Nitrogen DS Limited in connection with the management buy-out of the Actavis Group. The agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. Olafsson is entitled to receive certain consideration in connection with certain transactions involving the Actavis Group. In connection with the acquisition of Actavis by us, Mr. Olafssons agreement with Nitrogen DS Limited entitled him to receive up to 8,163 ordinary shares of Actavis as part of the contingent consideration payable by us under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2012, which shares have been issued to Mr. Olafsson.
In addition, pursuant to a separate agreement entered into with Actavis Group h.f. (an Icelandic affiliate in the Actavis Group) in 2010 while he was a member of executive management of the Actavis Group, Mr. Olafsson has the right to be indemnified by Actavis Group h.f. against personal income tax liabilities that may be levied by the Icelandic taxing authorities on amounts received by Mr. Olafsson in excess of taxes already paid by him in connection with Mr. Olafssons purchase and sale of certain shares of Actavis Group h.f.

We issued $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.300% senior notes due 2017 (the old 2017 notes), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.450% senior notes due 2019 (the old 2019 notes), $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.850% senior notes due 2024 (the old 2024 notes) and $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.850% senior notes due 2044 (the old 2044 notes and, together with the 2017 old notes, the old 2019 notes and the old 2024 notes, the old notes). As described in this prospectus, we will issue $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.300% senior notes due 2017 (the new 2017 notes and, together with the old 2017 notes, the 2017 notes), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.450% senior notes due 2019 (the new 2019 notes and, together with the old 2019 notes, the 2019 notes), $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.850% senior notes due 2024 (the new 2024 notes and, together with the old 2024 notes, the 2024 notes) and $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.850% senior notes due 2044 (the new 2044 notes and, together with the old 2044 notes, the 2044 notes and, together with the new 2017 notes, the new 2019 notes and the new 2024 notes, the new notes). The new notes will be issued as four separate series of notes under the indenture, dated June 19, 2014 (the indenture), among Actavis SCS, the guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The indenture does not limit the aggregate amount of notes that may be issued under the indenture or the aggregate amount of any particular series of notes. The old notes were issued in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The terms of the new notes are substantially identical to the old notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the transfer restrictions and registration rights applicable to the old notes do not apply to the new notes. The old notes and the new notes are referred to together as the notes.
The following description is a summary, and does not describe every aspect of the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement. The following description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, all the provisions of the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement, including definitions of certain terms used in the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement. We urge you to read the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the notes. Copies of the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement are available as set forth below under Where You Can Find More Information.
The terms of the notes include those expressly set forth in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the Trust Indenture Act).

General
The old 2017 notes were limited initially to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The old 2019 notes were limited initially to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The old 2024 notes were limited initially to
204
$1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The old 2044 notes were limited initially to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing initial limitations, we may from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the holders of the notes of any series, issue additional notes of a particular series having the same terms (except for the issue date, the public offering price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date) and ranking equally and ratably with the original notes of such series. Any such additional notes of a particular series, together with the original notes of such series, will constitute a single series of notes for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions.
The notes are:
| general unsecured obligations of ours; |
| effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of ours to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; |
| structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of our future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes; |
| equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of ours; |
| senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of ours; and |
| unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. on a senior basis. |
No subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited other than Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. guarantee the notes, and as a result the notes are be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of Warner Chilcott Limiteds subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.
After giving effect to the offering of the notes, borrowings of $2,000.0 million under the ACT Term Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the WC Senior Notes, Warner Chilcott Limited would have had, on a pro forma basis, approximately $15,969.0 million of consolidated indebtedness as of June 30, 2014, excluding $19.3 million of capital leases. The total pro forma outstanding obligations of Warner Chilcott Limiteds consolidated subsidiaries (other than Actavis SCS) that do not guarantee the notes was approximately $4,786.2 million as of June 30, 2014.
We are a holding company with no material assets. Warner Chilcott Limiteds, Actavis Capitals, and Actavis, Inc.s assets generally are held by, and their operations generally are conducted through, their subsidiaries. Warner Chilcott Limiteds, Actavis Capitals and Actavis, Inc.s subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us or them to satisfy our or their obligations, including our or their obligations with respect to the notes. Our ability to service the notes will depend primarily on our receipt of interest and principal payments on account of intercompany lands owing to us from other subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited.
The new notes will be issued in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The new notes will be issued in the form of one or more global securities, without coupons, which will be deposited initially with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (DTC).
Principal and Interest
The new 2017 notes will mature on June 15, 2017, the new 2019 notes will mature on June 15, 2019, the new 2024 notes will mature on June 15, 2024 and the new 2044 notes will mature on June 15, 2044. No sinking fund will be provided with respect to the notes.
205
Interest on the new 2017 notes will accrue at the rate of 1.300% per annum, interest on the new 2019 notes will accrue at the rate of 2.450% per annum, interest on the 2024 notes will accrue at the rate of 3.850% per annum and interest on the new 2044 notes will accrue at the rate of 4.850% per annum. We will pay interest on the new notes from June 19, 2014 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2014, until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be paid to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
If any interest payment date or date of maturity of principal of the new notes of a series falls on a day that is not a business day, then payment of interest or principal may be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of maturity, and no interest will accrue for the period after such nominal date.
Guarantees
The new notes and our obligations under the indenture will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. The term Guarantor refers to Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. as guarantors of the notes, and the term Guarantee refers to each such persons guarantee of the notes.
Each guarantee of the new notes will be:
| a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor; |
| effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of that Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; |
| structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of subsidiaries of that Guarantor that do not guarantee the notes; |
| pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor; and |
| senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor. |
Claims of creditors of the subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited that do not guarantee the notes, including trade creditors and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by such subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors and the creditors of the Guarantors, including holders of the notes. See Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the NotesThe notes are subject to prior claims of any of our future secured creditors. Further, your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott Limited that do not guarantee the notes.
The Guarantees will terminate and the Guarantors will be deemed released from all of their obligations under the indenture upon covenant defeasance as provided below under Defeasance of Covenants Under Certain Circumstances or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under Satisfaction and Discharge. Any release described in this paragraph may be evidenced by a supplemental indenture or other instrument, which may be entered into without the consent of any holders of notes.
The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.
206
Optional Redemption
We have the right to redeem the 2017 notes, the 2019 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2044 notes, in each case, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, on at least 15 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to the registered holders of the notes to be redeemed. Upon redemption of the 2017 notes, the 2019 notes, the 2024 notes prior to March 15, 2024 (three months prior to their maturity date) and the 2044 notes prior to December 15, 2043 (six months prior to their maturity date), in each case, we will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and
(2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the notes to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2017 notes, 15 basis points in the case of the 2019 notes, 20 basis points in the case of the 2024 notes and 25 basis points in the case of the 2044 notes,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In addition, we have the right to redeem the 2024 notes on or after March 15, 2024 (three months prior to their maturity date) and the 2044 notes on or after December 15, 2043 (six months prior to their maturity date), in each case, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, on at least 15 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to the registered holders of the series of notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Any redemption or notice may, at our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent and, at our discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied.
Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding paragraphs, installments of interest on the applicable series of notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the applicable series of notes and the indenture.
If less than all the notes of any series are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes issued in global form as discussed under Book-Entry System, based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Except as described above, the notes will not be redeemable at our option prior to maturity. See, however, Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes for a description of the optional redemption of the notes in the event of certain tax developments.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed.
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as contained in the daily statistical release, or any successor release, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities or (2) if the release, or any successor release, is not published or
207
does not contain these prices on that business day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if we obtain fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of these quotations.
Independent Investment Banker means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by us.
Reference Treasury Dealer means the three primary U.S. government securities dealers consisting of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and their respective successors, provided that if at any time any of the above is not a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, we will substitute that entity with another nationally recognized investment banking firm that we select that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to each note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
Treasury Rate means, for any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as the second business day immediately preceding that redemption date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.
Additional Amounts
All payments required to be made by us under or with respect to the notes or by any Guarantor under or with respect to a Guarantee (each of us or such Guarantor and, in each case, any successor thereof, making such payment, the Payor), will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any authority or agency having power to tax within any jurisdiction in which any Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Payor (each a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), unless such Payor is required to withhold or deduct such Taxes by law or regulation.
If a Payor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the notes or a Guarantee, as applicable, such Payor will be required to pay such additional amounts (Additional Amounts) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by any holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder or beneficial owner would have received if such taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:
(a) | any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) so imposed, withheld, deducted or levied but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a |
208
citizen, domiciliary, national or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than any connection arising solely from the acquisition or holding of any note, the receipt of any payments in respect of such note or Guarantee or the exercise or enforcement of rights under a Guarantee); |
(b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment; |
(c) | any taxes which are payable other than by withholding or deduction from payments made under or with respect to the notes or any Guarantee; |
(d) | any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) imposed, withheld, deducted or levied if such holder or the beneficial owner of any note or interest therein (i) complied with all reasonable written requests by the Payor (made at a time that would enable the holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with such request) to provide timely and accurate information or documentation concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such holder or beneficial owner or (ii) made any declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or reporting requirement, which in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, all or part of such taxes; |
(e) | any taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/ EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN (European Union Economic and Finance Ministers) Council Meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments which was adopted by the ECOFIN Council on 3 June 2003, or pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or any agreement entered into by a new European Union Member State with (i) any other state or (ii) any relevant dependent or associated territory of any European Union Member State providing for measures equivalent to or the same as those provided for by such Directive; |
(f) | any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a note presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant note to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union; |
(g) | any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a payment which could have been made without deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the note for payment (where presentation is required) within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented on any day during the 30-day period); |
(h) | any taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made under or with respect to such note or Guarantee to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the sole beneficial owner of such note; |
(i) | any taxes payable under Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), as of the issue date of the notes (or any amended or successor version), any regulations or official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith, or any law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; |
(j) | any taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or |
(k) | any taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (a) through (j) above. |
209
We and the Guarantors (as the case may be) will pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, excise, property, court or documentary taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies (referred to in this paragraph as stamp taxes) and interest, penalties and other reasonable expenses related thereto that arise in or are levied by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, issuance, delivery, enforcement or registration of the notes, the indenture, the Guarantees or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (other than on a transfer or assignment of the notes after this offering).
The Payor will make or cause to be made any withholding or deduction required in respect of taxes, and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Payor will use reasonable efforts to provide, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any such taxes so deducted or withheld is made, the trustee with official receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the taxes so deducted or withheld.
If any Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the notes, the Payor will deliver to the paying agent with a copy to the trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 45th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Payor shall notify the paying agent and the trustee promptly thereafter) a certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable and such other information reasonably necessary to enable the paying agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders or beneficial owners on the relevant payment date.
Whenever in the indenture or this Description of Notes there is mentioned, in any context:
(a) | the payment of principal; |
(b) | the payment of interest; or |
(c) | any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the notes, |
such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this heading Additional Amounts, to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The obligations described under this heading, Additional Amounts, will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture or any Guarantee and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.
For a discussion of certain withholding taxes applicable to payments under or with respect to the notes, see Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.
Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes
We are entitled to redeem notes, at our option, at any time in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to the holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event any Payor has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the notes, any Additional Amounts (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if such amount could not be paid by us or another Guarantor who can pay such amount without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), in each case, as a result of:
(a) | a change in, or an amendment to, the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or |
210
(b) | any change in, amendment to, or introduction of any official published position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including the decision of any court, governmental agency or tribunal), |
which change, amendment or introduction is publicly announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the indenture and the Payor cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a Paying Agent located in another jurisdiction), provided that such Payor will not be required to take any measures that would result in the imposition on it of any material legal or regulatory burden or the incurrence by it of any material additional costs, or would otherwise result in any material adverse consequences. The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor permitted under Certain CovenantsMerger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.
Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in the preceding paragraph, we will deliver to the trustee an officers certificate to the effect that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. We will also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Payor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, or introduction described above. Absent manifest error, the trustee will accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the Payors obligations, to pay such Additional Amounts, and it will be conclusive and binding on the holders.
Repurchase Upon a Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless we have redeemed the 2017 notes, the 2019 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2044 notes in full as described above, we will make an offer to each holder (the Change of Control Offer) to repurchase any and all (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holders 2017 notes, 2019 notes, 2024 notes and 2044 notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the Change of Control Payment). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to mail a notice to holders of notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the Change of Control Payment Date), pursuant to the procedures required by the notes and described in such notice. We must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the notes, we will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, we will be required, to the extent lawful, to:
| accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and |
| deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes properly accepted, together with an officers certificate stating the principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased. |

Below Investment Grade Rating Event means notes are rated below Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies on any date commencing upon the first public notice by us of the occurrence of a Change of Control or our intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies).
Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following:
1. direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Actavis plc and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Actavis plc or one of its subsidiaries;
2. the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) as a result of which any person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of Actavis plcs outstanding voting stock or other voting stock into which Actavis plcs voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (a) Actavis plc becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Actavis plcs voting stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction;
3. Actavis plc consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or any person or group consolidates with, or merges with or into, Actavis plc, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of Actavis plcs voting stock or the voting stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Actavis plcs voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the voting stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
4. We shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis plc, Warner Chilcott Limited or Actavis Capital;
5. Warner Chilcott Limited or Actavis Capital shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis plc; or
6. the adoption of a plan relating to Actavis plcs liquidation or dissolution.
For purposes of this definition, voting stock means with respect to any specified person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Actavis plc and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase substantially all, there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that we offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Actavis plc and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.
212
Change of Control Triggering Event means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.
Investment Grade Rating means a rating by Moodys equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent under a successor rating category of Moodys) or a rating by S&P equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P).
Moodys means Moodys Investors Service, Inc., and any successor to its ratings agency business.
Rating Agencies means (1) Moodys and S&P; and (2) if either or both of Moodys or S&P ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of our control, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by us (as certified by a resolution of our board of directors) as a replacement agency for either Moodys, S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.
S&P means Standard & Poors Ratings Services, a Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC business and any successor to its rating agency business.
Certain Covenants
Limitations on Liens
Warner Chilcott Limited will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien (other than permitted Liens) on any property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness of Warner Chilcott Limited, any of its subsidiaries or any indebtedness of any other Person, unless Warner Chilcott Limited or such subsidiary also secures all payments due under the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees, on an equal and ratable basis with such other indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of indebtedness subordinated to the notes or the Guarantees, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative priority as the notes and the Guarantees, will have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) for so long as such other indebtedness shall be so secured. The indenture contains the following exceptions to the foregoing prohibition:
(a) Liens existing on the date when we first issue the notes pursuant to the indenture;
(b) Liens on property owned or leased by a Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott Limited or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited; provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such merger or consolidation and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person merged into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott Limited or such subsidiary;
(c) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by Warner Chilcott Limited or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited, provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend to any property other than the property so acquired by Warner Chilcott Limited or such subsidiary;
(d) Liens to secure indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of or within 18 months after the acquisition of any property or the completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any property, as the case may be, for the purpose of financing all or a part of the purchase price or cost thereof and Liens to the extent they secure indebtedness in excess of such purchase price or cost and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such property;
(e) Liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental entities;
(f) any Lien securing indebtedness of a subsidiary owing to Warner Chilcott Limited or to one or more of Warner Chilcott Limiteds subsidiaries;
213
(g) any Lien to be incurred in connection with the Transactions;
(h) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, inclusive, so long as (1) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of the extension, renewal or replacement (except that, where an additional principal amount of indebtedness is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may be secured by the Lien as well) and (2) the Lien is limited to the same property subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (and improvements on the property); and
(i) any Lien that would not otherwise be permitted by clauses (a) through (h) above, inclusive, securing indebtedness which, together with:
| the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other indebtedness of Warner Chilcott Limited and its subsidiaries owning property which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, and |
| the aggregate Value of existing Sale and Leaseback Transactions which would be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause, |
does not exceed the greater of $750 million or 15% of Warner Chilcott Limiteds Consolidated Net Worth.
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions
Warner Chilcott Limited will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:
(a) Warner Chilcott Limited or such subsidiary could incur indebtedness, in a principal amount at least equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the notes and the Guarantees) because such Lien would be of a character that no violation of the covenant described under Limitations on Liens above would result; or
(b) Warner Chilcott Limited applies, during the six months following the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the Value of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt or to the acquisition of property.
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
The indenture will provide that none of Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital or Actavis SCS will consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries property and assets taken as a whole (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital or Actavis SCS, as applicable, unless:
(a) Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital or Actavis SCS, as applicable, shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital or Actavis SCS, applicable) formed by such consolidation or into which Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital or Actavis SCS, as applicable, is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets (the Surviving Person), shall be a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico or the United States or a political subdivision thereof, and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of Warner Chilcott Limiteds, Actavis Capitals or Actavis SCSs, as applicable, obligations under the indenture and the notes;
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default (each as defined in the indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing; and
214
(c) we deliver to the trustee an officers certificate and opinion of counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with.
The Surviving Person will succeed to, and except in the case of a lease, be substituted for, us, Warner Chilcott Limited or Actavis Capital, as applicable, under the indenture, the notes and Guarantee, as applicable.
Although these types of transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a Change of Control, permitting each holder to require us to purchase the notes of such holder as described above.
Reports to Holders
Warner Chilcott Limited will:
(a) file with the trustee, within 30 days after Warner Chilcott Limited is required to file the same with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), copies of the annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Warner Chilcott Limited may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and

Holding Company Status
For so long as any series of the notes are outstanding, no subsidiary of Actavis plc that is a direct or indirect parent of Warner Chilcott Limited (other than any such subsidiary of Actavis plc that fully and unconditionally guarantees the notes) will and, unless Actavis plc provides a guarantee of the notes, Actavis plc (each such subsidiary and, as long as applicable, Actavis plc, the Passive Holding Companies) will not, conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any active trade or business or operations other than through a subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any Passive Holding Company from taking actions related to the following (and activities incidental thereto): (i) its ownership of the equity interests of its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are direct or indirect ultimate parents of Warner Chilcott Limited, (ii) the maintenance of its legal existence and, with respect to Actavis plc, its status as a public company (including the ability to incur fees, costs and expenses relating to such maintenance), (iii) the performance of its obligations with respect to the Merger Agreement, the ACT Term Loan Amendment, the ACT Term Loan Agreement, the Actavis Revolving Credit Agreement, the WC Term Loan Agreement and any other indebtedness in respect of which it is an obligor and any other agreement to which it is a party, (iv) with respect to Actavis plc, any public offering of its common stock or with respect to any Passive Holding Company (other than Actavis plc) any other issuance of its equity interests, (v) the making of payments on account of its common stock or any subordinated debt, (vi) the incurrence of indebtedness, (vii) the making of contributions to (or other equity investments in) the capital of its direct subsidiaries existing on the date of the indenture, (viii) the creation of a newly formed subsidiary with capitalization of less than $1,000,000 and which is formed solely for the purpose of consummating an acquisition by Actavis plc so long as, within twelve months such newly formed subsidiary merges with and into a target entity and the survivor thereof becomes a subsidiary of Warner Chilcott Limited or its subsidiaries), (ix) providing a guarantee of indebtedness or other obligations of its subsidiaries, (x) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member or parent of the consolidated group, (xi) holding any cash or property (including cash and property received in connection with dividends or distributions from Warner Chilcott Limited, (xii) providing indemnification to officers and directors, (xiii) the ownership or disposition of assets held on the issue date of the notes or acquired after the issue date of the notes, in each case, to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (v), (vii) or (viii) above and (xiv) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described above.
215
Certain Other Covenants
The indenture contains certain other covenants regarding, among other matters, corporate existence. The indenture does not contain restrictive covenants relating to total indebtedness, interest coverage, stock repurchases, recapitalizations, dividends and distributions to shareholders or current ratios. Other than as described above, the provisions of the indenture will not afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a sudden or significant decline in our credit quality or in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us or any of our affiliates that may adversely affect such holders.

Events of Default
The indenture defines an Event of Default with respect to each series of notes as any of the following:
| Default in the payment of the principal or any premium on the notes of that series when due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise). |
| Default for 30 days in the payment of interest on a note of that series when due. |
| Failure by us or any Guarantor to comply with the provisions described under the captions Special Mandatory Redemption or Repurchase Upon a Change of Control. |
| Failure by us or any Guarantor to observe or perform any other term of the indenture (other than a covenant or agreement in respect of which such non-compliance would otherwise be an Event of Default) for a period of 60 days after we receive a notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of 25% of the principal amount of the notes of that series. |
| Default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc. (or the payment of which is guaranteed by us or any Guarantor), whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issue date of the notes, if that default: |
| is caused by a failure to make any payment when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, and after giving effect to applicable grace periods) of such indebtedness (a Payment Default); or |

| Failure by Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc. to pay or discharge any final judgment or order (to the extent any such judgment or order is not paid or covered by insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) aggregating in excess of $200.0 million which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days. |
| Except as permitted by the indenture, any Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee. |
| Certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc. |
An Event of Default under one series of notes will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default under any other series of notes. The indenture will provide that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of notes issued thereunder of any default if the trustee considers it in the interest of such holders to do so; provided, that the trustee may not withhold notice of default in payment of the principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, on any of the notes of that series, or in the making of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to that series.
Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to Warner Chilcott Limited, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc., all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.
Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes of any series unless such holders of that series have offered to the trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no holder of a note of any series may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes of that series unless:
(1) | such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; |
(2) | holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the affected series of notes makes a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy; |
(3) | such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense; |
(4) | the trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and |
(5) | during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes of the affected series do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. |
219
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes of the affected series by written notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes of that series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the notes of that series.
We are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any default or Event of Default, we are required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such default or Event of Default.
Modification and Waiver
There are four types of changes we can make to the indenture and the notes.
Changes Requiring Your Approval. First, there are changes that cannot be made to your notes without your specific approval. Following is a list of those types of changes:
| change the stated maturity of the principal or interest on a note; |
| reduce any amounts due on a note; |
| reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a note following an Event of Default; |
| change the place or currency of payment for a note; |
| impair your right to sue for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the notes; |
| reduce the percentage in principal amount of the notes, the approval of whose holders is needed to modify or amend the indenture or the notes; |
| reduce the percentage in principal amount of the notes, the approval of whose holders is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or to waive certain defaults; and |
| modify any other aspect of the provisions dealing with modification and waiver of the indenture, except to increase the percentage required for any modification or to provide that other provisions of the indenture may not be modified or waived without your consent. |
Changes Not Requiring Approval. The second type of change does not require any vote by holders of the notes. This type is limited to corrections and clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the notes in any material respect. Nor do we need any approval to make changes that affect only notes to be issued under the indenture after the changes take effect. We may also make changes or obtain waivers that do not adversely affect a particular series of the notes, even if they affect another series of the notes. In those cases, we need only obtain any required approvals from the holders of the affected notes.
Changes Requiring a Majority Vote. Any other change to the indenture and the notes would require the following approval:
| If the change affects only notes of one series, it must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the notes of that series. |
| If the change affects the notes of one series as well as the notes of one or more other series issued under the indenture, it must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the notes that series and of each other series of notes affected by the change. |
In each case, the required approval must be given by written consent. Most changes fall into this category.
220
The same vote would be required for us to obtain a waiver of a past default. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of the indenture, the notes listed in the first category described above under Changes Requiring Your Approval unless we obtain your individual consent to the waiver.
Further Details Concerning Voting
The notes will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust for you money for their payment or redemption. The notes will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described below under DefeasanceFull Defeasance.
We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding notes that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indenture. In certain limited circumstances, the trustee will be entitled to set a record date for action by holders. If we or the trustee set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of notes, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding notes on the record date and must be taken within 180 days following the record date or another period that we may specify (or as the trustee may specify, if it set the record date). We may shorten or lengthen (but not beyond 180 days) this period from time to time.
Defeasance
The following discussion of full defeasance and discharge will apply to any series of the notes.
Full Defeasance
If there is a change in U.S. federal tax law, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the notes of either series (called full defeasance) if we put in place the following other arrangements for you to be repaid:
| We must deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other direct holders of the notes of the same series a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants, to make interest, principal, any premium and any other payments on the notes of that series on their various due dates. |
| There must be a change in current U.S. federal tax law or an IRS ruling that lets us make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the notes any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead repaid the notes ourselves when due. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the notes would be treated as though we took back your notes and gave you your share of the cash and debt securities or bonds deposited in trust. In that event, you could recognize gain or loss on the notes you give back to us. |
| We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming the tax law change described above. |
If we ever did accomplish full defeasance, as described above, you would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the notes. You could not look to us for repayment in the event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever become bankrupt or insolvent.
However, even if we make the deposit in trust and opinion delivery arrangements discussed above, a number of our obligations relating to the notes will remain. These include our obligations:
| to register the transfer and exchange of notes; |
| to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes; |
221
| to maintain paying agencies; and |
| to hold money for payment in trust. |
Covenant Defeasance
Under current U.S. federal tax law, we can make the same type of deposit described above and be released from some of the covenants in the notes. This is called covenant defeasance. In that event, you would lose the protection of those covenants but would gain the protection of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay the notes. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:
| We must deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other direct holders of the notes of the same series a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants, to make interest, principal, any premium and any other payments on the notes of that series on their various due dates. |
| We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the notes any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead repaid the notes ourselves when due. |
If we accomplish covenant defeasance, you can still look to us for repayment of the notes if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit. In fact, if one of the Events of Default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the notes become immediately due and payable, there may be such a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture will cease to be of further effect and the trustee, upon our demand and at our expense, will execute appropriate instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture upon compliance with certain conditions, including:
| Our having paid all sums payable by us under the indenture, as and when the same shall be due and payable, |
| Our having delivered to the trustee for cancellation all notes theretofore authenticated under the indenture, |
| All notes of any series outstanding under the indenture not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year and we shall have deposited with the trustee sufficient cash to pay, at maturity or upon redemption, all such notes of any series outstanding under the indenture, or |
| Our having delivered to the trustee an officers certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that these conditions have been satisfied. |
Governing Law
The indenture and the notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Judgment Currency
Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in U.S. dollars (the Required Currency), which is made to or for the account of any holder or the trustee in any other lawful currency (the Judgment Currency), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of Actavis SCS, shall
222
constitute a discharge of Actavis SCSs obligation under this indenture and the notes, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency which such holder or the trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the New York foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such holder or the trustee, as the case may be, Actavis SCS shall indemnify and hold harmless the holder or the trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in the indenture or the notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any holder or the trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process
The indenture will provide that the Company and any Guarantor not organized in the United States will appoint CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees and for actions brought under the U.S. federal or state securities laws brought in any U.S. federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees, the Company and each Guarantor will in the indenture irrevocably submit to the non exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, County and State of New York, United States.
Regarding the Trustee
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the indenture, has been appointed by us as paying agent, registrar and DTC custodian with regard to the notes. The trustee or its affiliates may from time to time in the future provide banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of their business.
Payment and Transfer
We will issue the notes only as registered securities, which means that the name of the holder will be entered in a register, which will be kept by the trustee or another agent of ours. We have initially designated the trustee as our paying agent and registrar. In addition to any register maintained by the registrar (the Register), a register of notes will be kept at the registered office of Actavis SCS, for Luxembourg law purposes. Upon written request from Actavis SCS, the registrar shall provide Actavis SCS with a copy of the Register to enable it to maintain a register of the notes at its registered office. Actavis SCS accepts any copy of the Register as correspondence and document recording the transfer of any notes and agrees to update its register upon receipt of such copy. We will make principal and interest payments at the designated corporate office of the trustee in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or by mailing a check to you at the address we have for you in the register.
If you are a holder of certificated notes, you will also be able to transfer or exchange notes at the office referenced above, in accordance with the terms of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. Neither we nor the trustee will impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a note; however, we may ask you to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of notes.
If the notes are redeemable and we redeem less than all of the notes of a particular series, we may block the transfer or exchange of notes during a specified period of time in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. The period begins 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption and ends on the day of that mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of notes selected for redemption. However, we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any note being partially redeemed.
223
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM OF SECURITIES
The certificates representing the new notes will be issued in fully registered form without interest coupons.
The Global Notes
We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (i) upon the issuance of the global notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such global notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Such accounts initially will be designated by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC, or participants, or to persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the global notes directly through DTC if they are participants in the system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in the system.
So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the Notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by such global notes for all purposes under the Indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the global notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTCs procedures, in addition to those provided for under the Indenture.
Payments of the principal of, premium (if any), and interest (including additional interest) on, the global notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of us, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.
We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including additional interest) on the global notes, will credit participants accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTCs same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a certificated security for any reason, including to sell notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the Notes, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a global note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the global notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the Indenture, DTC will exchange the global notes for certificated securities, which it will distribute to its participants and which will be legended as set forth under the heading Transfer Restrictions.
DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a clearing corporation within the meaning of the
224
Uniform Commercial Code and a Clearing Agency registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly as indirect participants.
Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
Certificated Securities
Certificated securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the global notes (i) if requested by a holder of such interests or (ii) if DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global notes and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days.
225
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion is a summary of material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. This discussion does not address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holders particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed. The discussion applies only to holders that exchange old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer.
No rulings from the IRS have or will be sought with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the exchange of old notes for new notes or that any such position would not be sustained. Holders of notes should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax consequences discussed below to their particular situations as well as the application of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws, and any tax treaties.
Exchange Pursuant to the Exchange Offer
The exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will not be treated as an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the new notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the old notes. Accordingly, the exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable event to holders for United States federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the new notes will have the same tax attributes as the old notes exchanged therefor and the same tax consequences to holders as the old notes have to holders, including, without limitation, the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period.
226
CERTAIN LUXEMBOURG TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a general description of certain Luxembourg tax considerations relating to the holding, disposal or redemption of the notes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the notes, whether in Luxembourg or elsewhere. Prospective purchasers of the notes should consult their own tax advisers as to which countries tax laws could be relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes and receiving payments of interest, principal and/or other amounts under the notes and the consequences of such actions under the tax laws of Luxembourg. This summary is based on laws, regulations, practice and decisions in effect in Luxembourg at the date of this offering circular, which may change in each case. Any changes could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this summary. The information contained within this section is limited to taxation issues, and prospective investors should not apply any information set out below to other areas, including (but not limited to) the legality of transactions involving the notes.
Please be aware that the residence concept used under the respective headings below applies for Luxembourg income tax assessment purposes only. Any reference in the present section to a tax, duty, levy impost or other charge or withholding of a similar nature refers to Luxembourg tax law and/or concepts only. Also, please note that a reference to Luxembourg income tax encompasses corporate income tax (impôt sur le revenu des collectivités), municipal business tax (impôt commercial communal), a solidarity surcharge (contribution au fonds pour lemploi), as well as personal income tax (impôt sur le revenu) generally. Investors may further be subject to net wealth tax (impôt sur la fortune) as well as other duties, levies or taxes. Corporate income tax, municipal business tax as well as the solidarity surcharge invariably apply to most corporate taxpayers resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes. Individual taxpayers are generally subject to personal income tax and the solidarity surcharge. Under certain circumstances, where an individual taxpayer acts in the course of the management of a professional or business undertaking, municipal business tax may apply as well.
Withholding Tax
All payments made by Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital in the context of the holding, disposal or redemption of the notes can be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes of whatever nature imposed, levied, withheld, or assessed by Luxembourg or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law, subject however to:
(i) the application of the Luxembourg laws of 21 June 2005 implementing the Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3 June 2003 on taxation of saving income in the form of interest payments (the European Union Savings Directive) and several related agreements concluded between Luxembourg and certain dependent or associated territories (i.e. Aruba, British Virgin Islands, Curacao, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Montserrat and Sint Maarten, collectively, the Associated Territories) for the possible application of a withholding tax on interest paid to (or under certain circumstances, to the benefit of) individuals and residual entities within the meaning of Article 4.2 of the European Savings Directive resident of, or established in another Member State of the European Union (other than Luxembourg) or any of the Associated Territories, in the event that Actavis SCS appoints a paying agent in Luxembourg within the meaning of the European Union Savings Directive or abovementioned related agreements. The withholding tax is currently levied at a rate of 35% and applies unless the relevant beneficiary has adequately instructed the relevant paying agent to provide details of the payments of interest or similar income to the fiscal authorities of his or her country of residence (or its establishment) and the relevant paying agent effectively provides such information or has provided a tax certificate from his or her fiscal authority in the format required by law to that paying agent;
(ii) the application as regards Luxembourg resident individuals of the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005 which has introduced a 10% withholding tax (which is final when Luxembourg resident individuals are acting in the context of the management of their private wealth) on payments of interest or similar income made by Luxembourg paying agents to (or for the benefit of) Luxembourg resident individual holders of notes or to certain foreign residual entities securing the interest for such Luxembourg resident individual holders of notes, made to Luxembourg individual residents. This law should apply to savings income accrued as from 1 July 2005 and paid as from 1 January 2006. In the event that interest is paid to Luxembourg resident individuals or to a
227
residual entity securing the payment for the benefit of such individuals by a paying agent established in a Member State if the European Union of the European Economic Area (other than Luxembourg) or one of the Associated Territories, the beneficiary may opt for the application of a 10% flat taxation in accordance with the law of 23 December 2005 (the 10% tax). The 10% withholding tax and the 10% tax will operate a full discharge of income tax for Luxembourg resident individuals acting in the context of the management of their private wealth.
Responsibility for the withholding of tax in application of the above-mentioned Luxembourg laws of 21 June 2005 and 23 December 2005 is assumed by the Luxembourg paying agent within the meaning of these laws, including Actavis SCS, to the extent it qualifies as such a Luxembourg paying agent.
On 18 March 2014, the Luxembourg government has submitted to the Luxembourg Parliament the draft law N°6668 replacing the withholding tax system as from 1 January 2015 by the automatic exchange of information under the European Union Savings Directive for any payment made as from 1 January 2015.
On 24 March 2014, the European Council adopted a European Union Council Directive amending and broadening the scope of the requirements described above. In particular, the changes expand the range of payments covered by the European Union Savings Directive to include certain additional types of income, and widen the range of recipients payments to whom are covered by the European Union Savings Directive, to include certain other types of entities and legal arrangements. Member States of the European Union are required to implement national legislation giving effect to these changes by 1 January 2016 (which national legislation must apply from 1 January 2017). Investors who are in any doubt as to their position should consult their professional advisors.
Taxes on Income and Capital Gains
For the purposes of this paragraph, a disposal may include a sale, an exchange, a contribution, a redemption and any other kind of transfer of the notes.
Non-resident holders of notes
A non-resident holder, of notes who has neither a permanent establishment, a permanent representative nor a fixed place of business in Luxembourg to which or whom the notes are attributable, is not liable to any Luxembourg income tax on interest received or accrued on the notes, or on capital gains realized on the disposal of the notes.
A non-resident holder of notes who has a permanent establishment, a permanent representative or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg to which or whom the notes are attributable, must include any interest accrued or received, as well as any gain realized on the disposal of the notes, in his taxable income for Luxembourg tax assessment purposes.
Resident holders of notes
Resident individual holders of notes
An individual holder of the notes acting in the course of the management of his/her private wealth, is subject to Luxembourg income tax in respect of interest received, redemption premiums or issue discounts under the notes except if (i) withholding tax has been levied on such payments in accordance with the law of 23 December 2005, or (ii) the individual holder of the notes has opted for the application of a 10% tax in full discharge of income tax in accordance with the law of 23 December 2005.
Under Luxembourg domestic tax law, gains realized upon the disposal of the notes by an individual holder of the notes, who is a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes and who acts in the course of the management of his/her private wealth, on the disposal of the notes are not subject to Luxembourg income tax, provided the disposal takes place more than six months after the acquisition of the notes.
228
An individual holder of the Notes, who acts in the course of the management of his/her private wealth and who is a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes, has further to include the portion of the gains realized on the notes corresponding to accrued but unpaid income in respect of the notes in his/her taxable income, insofar as the accrued but unpaid interest is indicated separately in the agreement.
Gains realized upon a disposal of the notes by an individual holder of the notes acting in the course of the management of a professional or business undertaking and who is resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes are subject to Luxembourg income taxes. Taxable gains are determined as being the difference between the disposal price (including accrued but unpaid interest) and the lower of the cost or book value of the notes disposed of.
Resident corporate holders of notes
Luxembourg resident corporate holders of notes must include any interest received or accrued, as well as any gain realized on the disposal of the notes, in their taxable income for Luxembourg income tax assessment purposes. Taxable gains are determined as being the difference between the disposal price (including accrued but unpaid interest) and the lower of the cost or book value of the notes disposed of.
Resident benefiting from a special tax regime
Luxembourg resident corporate holders of notes benefiting from a special tax regime, such as (i) undertakings for collective investment governed by the amended law of 17 December 2010, (ii) specialized investment funds governed by the amended law of 13 February 2007 or (iii) family wealth management companies governed by the amended law of 11 May 2007, are exempt from income tax in Luxembourg. Interest, paid or accrued on the notes, as well as gains realized thereon, are thus not subject to Luxembourg income taxes in their hands.
Net Wealth Tax
Luxembourg net wealth tax will not be levied on a corporate holder of a note unless:
(i) such holder is, or is deemed to be, resident in Luxembourg for the purpose of the relevant provisions and is not a holder of a note governed by (a) the amended law of 17 December 2010 on undertakings for collective investment, or (b) the law amended of 13 February 2007, or (c) the law of 22 March 2004 on securitization, or (d) the law of 15 June 2004 on the investment company in risk capital, or (e) the law of 11 May 2007 on family estate management companies or (f) the law of 13 July 2005 on Luxembourg pension structures; or
(ii) such note is attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on through a permanent establishment, a permanent representative or a fixed base of business in Luxembourg. As regards individuals, the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005 has abrogated the net wealth tax as from the year 2006.
Inheritance and Gift Tax
Where the notes are transferred for no consideration:
(i) No Luxembourg inheritance tax is levied on the transfer of the notes upon death of a holder of a note in cases where the deceased holder was not a resident of Luxembourg for inheritance tax purposes;
(ii) Luxembourg gift tax will be levied in the event that the gift is made pursuant to a notarial deed signed before a Luxembourg notary or is registered in Luxembourg.
Other Taxes and Duties
It is not compulsory that the notes be filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority in Luxembourg or that registration tax, transfer tax, capital tax, stamp duty or any other similar tax or duty (other
229
than court fees and contributions for the registration with the Chamber of Commerce) be paid in respect of or in connection with the execution, delivery and/or enforcement by legal proceedings (including any foreign judgment in the courts of Luxembourg) of the notes in accordance therewith. However in the case of proceedings in a Luxembourg court (including but not limited to a Luxembourg insolvency proceeding), registration of the notes may be ordered by the court, in which case the notes will be respectively subject to a fixed duty of EUR 12 or an ad valorem duty. Registration would in principle further be ordered, and the same registration duties could be due, when the notes are produced, either directly or by way of reference, before an official authority (autorité constituée) in Luxembourg. A registration duty may also apply upon voluntary registration of the notes in Luxembourg (although there is no obligation to do so). No Luxembourg value added tax is levied with respect to (i) any payment made in consideration of the issuance of the notes, (ii) any payment of interest, (iii) any repayment of principal or upon redemption, and (iv) any transfer of the notes.
Residence
A holder of a note will not become resident, or deemed to be resident, in Luxembourg by reason only of the holding of such note or the execution, performance, delivery and/or enforcement of that or any other note.
230
Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of those notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in the exchange offer for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended and supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account in the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker- dealer or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and profit on any such resale of notes issued in the exchange and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker- dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer and will indemnify the holders of the new notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We note, however, that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification against liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy and may be unenforceable.

WARNER CHILCOTT LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1Description of Business
Warner Chilcott Limited (the successor Company to Actavis, Inc.) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis plc, the ultimate parent of the group. Warner Chilcott Limited is an integrated global specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of generic, branded generic, brand name (brand, branded or specialty brand), biosimilar and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical products. The Company also develops and out-licenses generic pharmaceutical products primarily in Europe through our Medis third-party business. The Company reported its business into two operating segments: Pharma (Pharma or Actavis Pharma) and Anda Distribution. The Pharma segment includes patent-protected products, certain trademarked off-patent pharmaceutical products that we sell and market as branded pharmaceutical products, and off-patent pharmaceutical products that are therapeutically equivalent to proprietary products. The Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by the Company, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Pharma segment. These financial statements have been revised to reflect this change.
The Company operates manufacturing, distribution, research and development (R&D) and administrative facilities in many of the worlds established and growing international markets, including the United States of America (U.S.), Canada and Puerto Rico (together North America), and its key international markets around the world (International).
NOTE 2Formation of the Company
Warner Chilcott Limited (the successor company of Actavis, Inc.) and its direct parent, Warner Chilcott plc, were acquired by Actavis plc, the ultimate parent company on October 1, 2013, pursuant to the transaction agreement dated May 19, 2013 among Actavis, Inc. (the predecessor of Warner Chilcott Limited), Warner Chilcott plc, Actavis plc, Actavis Ireland Holding Limited, Actavis W.C. Holding LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding Inc.) and Actavis W.C. Holding 2 LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding 2 Inc.) (MergerSub), (i) Actavis plc acquired Warner Chilcott plc (the Warner Chilcott Acquisition) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Section 201, and a capital reduction under Sections 72 and 74, of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 where each Warner Chilcott plc ordinary share was converted into 0.160 of an Actavis plc ordinary share (the Company Ordinary Shares), or $5,833.9 million in equity consideration, and (ii) MergerSub merged with and into Actavis, Inc., with Actavis, Inc. as the surviving corporation in the merger (the Merger and, together with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Transactions). Following the consummation of the Transactions, Actavis, Inc. and Warner Chilcott became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Actavis plc. Each of Actavis, Inc.s common shares was converted into one Actavis plc Ordinary Share.
On October 31, 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Actavis Group for a cash payment of 4,219.7 million, or approximately $5,469.8 million, and contingent consideration of up to 5.5 million newly issued shares of Actavis, Inc. which have since been issued (the Actavis Group Acquisition). Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s Common Stock traded on the NYSE under the symbol WPI until close of trading on January 23, 2013, at which time Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. changed its corporate name to Actavis, Inc. and changed its ticker symbol to ACT.
Effective October 1, 2013, through a series of related-party transactions, Actavis plc contributed its indirect subsidiaries, including Actavis Inc. to Warner Chilcott Limited, which is not a publicly traded entity. References throughout to we, our, us, the Company, Actavis or Warner Chilcott refer to financial information
F-9
and transactions of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. prior to January 23, 2013, Actavis, Inc. from January 23, 2013 until October 1, 2013 and Warner Chilcott Limited and its subsidiaries subsequent to October 1, 2013.
NOTE 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The Companys consolidated financial statements include the financial results of all acquired companies subsequent to the acquisition date.
Use of Estimates
Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions in order to prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Companys most significant estimates relate to the determination of sales returns, allowances and other trade-related deductions (SRA) included within either accounts receivable or accrued liabilities, the valuation of inventory balances, the determination of useful lives for intangible assets, pension and other post-retirement benefit plan assumptions, the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment and recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at fair value. The estimation process required to prepare the Companys consolidated financial statements requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. The Companys actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
For most of the Companys international operations, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive income / (loss). The effects of converting non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash in banks, commercial paper and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and other receivables, investments, trade accounts payable, and long-term debt, including the current
F-10
portion. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and other receivables and trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to their relatively short maturities. The fair values of investments in companies that are publicly traded and not accounted for under the equity method are based on quoted market prices. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate long-term obligations based on quoted market rates. The carrying amount reported for long-term debt, other than the Companys indebtedness under senior notes, is considered to be representative of fair value as they are at variable rates and reprice frequently.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale and distribution, raw materials and work in process. Inventory includes product pending approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), by other regulatory agencies or product that has not been launched due to contractual restrictions. This inventory consists of generic pharmaceutical products that are capitalized only when the bioequivalence of the product is demonstrated or the product has already received regulatory approval and is awaiting a contractual triggering event to enter the marketplace. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). The Company writes down inventories to net realizable value based on forecasted demand, market conditions or other factors, which may differ from actual results.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes interest on qualified construction projects. At the time property, plant and equipment are retired from service, the cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts.
Depreciation expense is computed principally on the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The following table provides the range of estimated useful lives used for each asset type:
Computer software / hardware (including internally developed) |
3-10 years | |||
Machinery and equipment |
3-15 years | |||
Research and laboratory equipment |
3-10 years | |||
Furniture and fixtures |
3-10 years | |||
Buildings, improvements, leasehold improvements and other |
4-50 years | |||
Transportation equipment |
3-20 years |
The Company assesses property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an assets carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Investments
The Companys equity investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company can exert significant influence and the Companys ownership interest does not exceed 50%. The Company records equity method investments at cost and adjusts for the appropriate share of investee net earnings or losses. Investments in which the Company owns less than a 20% interest and cannot exert significant influence are accounted for using the cost method if the fair value of such investments is not readily determinable.
Marketable Securities
The Companys marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury and agency securities and equity securities of publicly-held companies. The Companys marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
F-11
recorded at fair value, based upon quoted market prices. Unrealized temporary adjustments to fair value are included on the balance sheet in a separate component of stockholders equity as unrealized gains and losses and are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss). No gains or losses on marketable securities are realized until shares are sold or a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite-Lives
The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite-lives for impairment annually in the second quarter by comparing the fair value of each of the Companys reporting units to the respective carrying value of the reporting units. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income and this could result in a material reduction in net income and earnings per share.
Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) intangible assets represent the value assigned to acquired research and development projects that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that the Company has acquired with respect to products and/or processes that have not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Impairment testing requires the development of significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk and regulatory risk. Changes in these assumptions or uncertainties could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Upon successful completion of each project and approval of the product, we will make a separate determination of the useful life of the intangible, transfer the amount to currently marketed products (CMP) and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration is recorded at the acquisition date estimated fair value of the contingent payment for all acquisitions. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period with any adjustments in fair value included in our consolidated statement of operations. (Refer to NOTE 20Fair Value Measurement for additional details regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.)
Revenue Recognition Including Multiple-Element Arrangements
General
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of
F-12
collection of sales proceeds, the sellers price to the buyer to be fixed or determinable and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, billback adjustments, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee for service arrangements with certain distributors, which we refer to in the aggregate as SRA allowances.
Royalty and commission revenue is recognized as a component of net revenues in accordance with the terms of their respective contractual agreements when collectability is reasonably assured and when revenue can be reasonably measured.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
The Company identifies each discrete deliverable included in a multiple-element arrangement and identifies which of those deliverables have standalone value to the customer under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements (ASC 605-25) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Deliverable Revenue (ASU No. 2009-13). The Company allocates arrangement consideration to the deliverables based on the appropriate selling price using the hierarchy outlined in ASC 605-25, as amended by ASU No. 2009-13. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. BESP is determined in a manner consistent with that used to establish the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. Revenue is recognized for each unit of accounting based on the relevant authoritative literature for that deliverable.
Contingency-Adjusted Performance Model
Revenues recognized from research, development and licensing agreements (including milestone receipts) are recorded on the contingency-adjusted performance model which requires deferral of revenue until such time as contract milestone requirements have been met. Under this model, revenue related to each payment is recognized over the entire contract performance period, starting with the contracts commencement, but not prior to earning and/or receiving the milestone amount (i.e., removal of any contingency). The amount of revenue recognized is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated cost to be incurred. In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In order to recognize milestone consideration as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, there needs to be substantive certainty that the milestone will be achieved, relate solely to past performance and the consideration needs to be commensurate with the Companys performance. Factors the Company considers in determining whether a milestone is substantive at the inception of an arrangement include: whether substantive effort will be required to achieve the milestone; what labor, skill, and other costs will be incurred to achieve the milestone; how certain the achievement of the milestone is; whether a reasonable amount of time will elapse between any upfront payment and the first milestone as well as between each successive milestone; and, whether the milestone is nonrefundable or contains clawback provisions.
Provisions for SRAs
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When the Company recognizes gross revenue from the sale of products, an estimate of SRA is recorded, which reduces the gross product revenues. Accounts receivable and/or accrued liabilities are also reduced and/or increased by the SRA amount. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical relationship of the deductions to gross product revenues, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract
F-13
sales terms with direct and indirect customers. The estimation process used to determine our SRA provision has been applied on a consistent basis and no material revenue adjustments have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. The Company uses a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of the SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated. This includes periodic reviews of customer inventory data, customer contract programs and product pricing trends to analyze and validate the SRA reserves.
ChargebacksA chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesalers customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Companys chargeback payments. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is fairly stated.
RebatesRebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally offered to customers as an incentive to use the Companys products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third party rebates is estimated based on our customers contracted rebate programs and the Companys historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states / authorities, contractual terms, as well as government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.
Cash DiscountsCash discounts are provided to customers that pay within a specific period. The provision for cash discounts is estimated based upon invoice billings, utilizing historical customer payment experience. The Companys experience of payment history is fairly consistent and most customer payments qualify for the cash discount. Accordingly, our reserve for cash discounts is readily determinable.
Returns and Other AllowancesThe Companys provision for returns and other allowances include returns, pricing adjustments, promotional allowances, loyalty cards and billback adjustments.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Companys policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Companys estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.
Pricing adjustments, which includes shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued to reflect price decreases in selling prices charged to the Companys direct customers. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product our customers have in their inventory at the time of an agreed-upon price reduction. The provision for shelf stock adjustments is based upon specific terms with the Companys direct customers and includes estimates of existing customer inventory levels based upon their historical purchasing patterns. We regularly monitor all
F-14
price changes to evaluate the Companys reserve balances. The adequacy of these reserves is readily determinable as pricing adjustments and shelf stock adjustments are negotiated and settled on a customer-by-customer basis.
Promotional allowances are credits that are issued in connection with a product launch or as an incentive for customers to carry our product. The Company establishes a reserve for promotional allowances based upon contractual terms.
Billback adjustments are credits that are issued to certain customers who purchase directly from us as well as indirectly through a wholesaler. These credits are issued in the event there is a difference between the customers direct and indirect contract price. The provision for billbacks is estimated based upon historical purchasing patterns of qualified customers who purchase product directly from us and supplement their purchases indirectly through our wholesale customers.
Loyalty cards allow the end user patients a discount per prescription and is accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.

Included in the tables above are accounts receivable deductions within SRAs of $1,254.8 million and $814.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. SRA balances in accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 increased $440.5 million compared to December 31, 2012. SRAs within accounts payable and accrued expenses were $719.0 million and $634.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $84.6 million. The primary driver to the overall increase was the impact of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition ($387.9 million).
F-15
The provision for chargebacks as a percentage of gross product sales has decreased from 17.9% in 2011 to 16.1% in 2012 and 16.4% in 2013 primarily related to growth of international revenues as a result of the acquisitions of Specifar in 2011, and Ascent and Actavis in January and October 2012, respectively. The provision for rebates as a percentage of gross product sales has increased from 15.2% in 2011, to 15.7% in 2012 and to 16.4% in 2013 primarily related to the increase in commercial rebates of the branded business due in large part to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the growth of international revenues as a result of the acquisitions of Specifar in 2011 and Ascent and Actavis in January and October 2012, respectively. Returns and other allowances increased due to returns for new product launches and other allowances related to new product launches and customer and product mix. The increase in provision for cash discounts is due to the acquisitions of Specifar, Ascent, Actavis and Warner Chilcott.
The Company does not expect future payments of SRA to materially exceed our current estimates. However, if future SRA payments were to materially exceed our estimates, such adjustments may have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records shipping and handling costs in selling and marketing expenses. These expenses, which include the allocation of personnel costs associated with shipping and handling, were $153.0 million, $102.3 million and $72.9 million in the years ended December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. Additionally, the Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need to record a liability for contingencies on a case-by-case basis in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (ASC 450). Accruals are recorded when the Company determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. Acquired contingencies in business combinations are recorded at fair value to the extent determinable, otherwise in accordance ASC 450.
Concentration
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Companys largest customer accounted for 11% of the Companys net revenues. For each of the years ended December 2012 and 2011 the Companys two largest customers accounted for 16% and 14% individually, of the Companys net revenues. No other individual customers accounted for more than 10% of net revenues. The acquisitions of Warner Chilcott and Actavis, and the related change in the mix of global sales resulting from these acquisitions had the impact of lowering overall concentration risk for the Company.
The Companys accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in North America and Europe and primarily represent amounts due from wholesalers, distributors, drug store chains and service providers in the health care and pharmaceutical industries, public hospitals and other government entities. Approximately 55% and 53% of the gross accounts receivable balance are concentrated among the Companys four largest customers as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts. Actual losses from uncollectible accounts have been minimal.
Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets using the Companys products, as well as their dispersion across many
F-16
different geographic areas. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. As of December 31, 2013, the Companys value of gross accounts receivable and allowance for potential uncollectible accounts in Western Europe were reduced as a result of the announced intention in 2013 to hold for sale our Pharmas commercial infrastructure in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, including products, marketing authorizations and dossier license rights. The remaining exposure in Western Europe due to deteriorating credit and economic conditions resides within Greece. The Company continues to monitor these conditions, including the length of time that it takes to collect on its accounts receivable outstanding in Greece. The Company does not expect to have write-offs or adjustments to accounts receivable which would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Certain of the Companys finished products and raw materials are obtained from single source suppliers. Although the Company seeks to identify more than one source for its various finished products and raw materials, loss of a single source supplier could have an adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, a second source supplier may not be able to produce the same volumes of inventory as the Companys primary supplier. Third-party manufactured products accounted for approximately 29%, 55% and 49% of our Pharma segment product sales in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, including products supplied under authorized generic arrangements.
R&D Activities
R&D activities are expensed as incurred and consist of self-funded R&D costs, the costs associated with work performed under collaborative R&D agreements, regulatory fees, and milestone payments, if any. R&D expenses include direct and allocated expenses. R&D expenses incurred under collaborative agreements were approximately $100.6 million, $74.2 million and $21.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include the Companys forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Companys effective tax rate on future earnings.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the consolidated statements of income as income tax expense.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to the Companys stockholders. Other comprehensive income /(loss) refers to
F-17
revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income / (loss), but excluded from net income/(loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders equity. The Companys other comprehensive income / (loss) is comprised of unrealized gains / (losses) on certain holdings of publicly traded equity securities, investments in U.S. treasury and agency securities and actuarial gains/(losses), net of realized gains / (losses) included in net income, net of tax and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Employee Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has a defined contribution plan that is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated statement of operations in the periods during which the related services were rendered.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit plans as an asset or liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The obligations are generally measured at the actuarial present value of all benefits attributable to employee service rendered, as provided by the applicable benefit formula. The estimates of the obligation and related expense of these plans recorded in the financial statements are based on certain assumptions. The most significant assumptions relate to discount rate and expected return on plan assets. Other assumptions used may include employee demographic factors such as compensation rate increases, retirement patterns, expected employee turnover and participant mortality rates. The difference between these assumptions and actual experience results in the recognition of an asset or liability based upon a net actuarial (gain) / loss. If the total net actuarial (gain) / loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) exceeds a threshold of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets, it is subject to amortization and recorded as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average remaining service lives of the employees participating in the pension plan. Net periodic benefit costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Share-based Compensation
The Company issues non-vested shares in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units under its long-term equity incentives program. Non-vested shares granted to employees and directors are valued at the market price of the shares on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are expected to vest with employees. That is, share-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated future forfeitures. These estimates are revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation expense in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.
In connection with the Transactions, the Actavis Board of Directors modified the existing awards for its directors and executive officers during the second quarter of 2013 such that immediately prior to closing of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, each stock option, share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit held became fully vested and exercisable and converted into a right to receive an Actavis plc ordinary share net of applicable tax withholding. The effect of the modification resulted in an increase of $38.3 million in stock compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2013 (in addition to $3.0 million related to employer payroll taxes resulting from the one-time charge).
Restructuring Costs
The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, employee severance costs are accrued
F-18
when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Refer to NOTE 18Business Restructuring Charges for more information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The issuance of these documents completes the joint effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue RecognitionConstruction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU.
The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on future financial positions and results of operations.
NOTE 4Acquisitions and Other Agreements
Acquisition of Warner Chilcott
On October 1, 2013, Warner Chilcott plc, the Companys direct parent, was acquired by Actavis plc as part of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition in a stock for stock transaction for a value, including the assumption of debt, of $9.2 billion. Warner Chilcott plc as a stand-alone entity was a leading specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the womens healthcare, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America. The Warner Chilcott Acquisition expands our presence in specialty brands. Warner Chilcotts financial results included in this report do not include the financial results of Warner Chilcott as a stand-alone entity for any of the periods or at any of the dates presented prior to October 1, 2013. As a result of the transaction, Warner Chilcott Limited became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis plc.
Recognition and Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value
The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2013, certain amounts relating to SRA reserves have not been finalized. The finalization of these matters may result in changes to goodwill and the Company expects to finalize such matters in 2014.

The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of inventories of $408.3 million. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $173.5 million as a component of cost of sales as the inventory acquired on October 1, 2013 was sold to the Companys customers.
IPR&D and Intangible Assets
IPR&D intangible assets represent the value assigned to acquired R&D projects that, as of the acquisition date, had not established technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The IPR&D intangible assets are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project and launch of the product, the Company will make a separate determination of the estimated useful life of the IPR&D intangible asset and the related amortization will be recorded as an expense over the estimated useful life (IPR&D Acquisition Accounting). Intangible assets represent CMPs and IPR&D and have an estimated weighted average useful life of 2.7 years.
The estimated fair value of the IPR&D and identifiable intangible assets was determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and working capital/asset contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in
F-20
order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors (the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique). The discount rates used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of CMPs was 8.0% and for IPR&D ranged from 8.0% to 9.0%, to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Goodwill
Among the primary reasons the Company acquired Warner Chilcott and factors that contributed to the preliminary recognition of goodwill were to expand the Companys branded pharmaceuticals product portfolio, and to acquire certain benefits from the Warner Chilcott structure. The goodwill recognized from the Warner Chilcott Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from the Warner Chilcott Acquisition was assigned to the Pharma segment.
Deferred Tax Liabilities, net
Deferred tax liabilities, net, include the impact resulting from identifiable intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is multiplied by the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the deferred taxes exist.
Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the Company, as though the Warner Chilcott Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period.

The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance, acquisition costs and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair valuation of assets acquired and the related tax effects. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable subsequent to the acquisition date. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company:

Divested Products
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (Hart-Scott-Rodino), as amended, in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Company was required to divest certain assets. On October 1, 2013, four generic pharmaceutical products were sold to Amneal Pharmaceuticals for consideration of $10.0 million, subject to certain refunds of purchase price provisions, which had a deminimis impact on the consolidated statement of operations. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in both oral contraceptive and osteoporosis treatment. Net sales of divested products were $2.5 million, $4.6 million and $0.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 are restructuring charges of $124.7 million, including stock-based compensation ($45.4 million), and $28.1 million for acquisition and integration costs including advisory, legal and regulatory costs incurred in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. Additionally, the acceleration of directors and named executive officers unvested equity-based awards immediately prior to the Transactions resulted in $41.3 million of general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2013.
Acquisition of Medicines360
On June 11, 2013, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Medicines360 to market, sell and distribute Medicines360s LNG20 intrauterine device (LNG 20) in the U.S. and in Canada for a payment of approximately $52.3 million. According to the terms of the agreement, the Company is also required to pay Medicines360 certain regulatory and sales based milestone payments totaling up to $125.0 million plus royalties (the Medicines360 Acquisition). Medicines360 retained the rights to market the product in the U.S. public sector, including family planning clinics that provide services to low-income women. LNG20, originally developed by Uteron Pharma S.P.R.L. in Belgium (now a subsidiary of the Company), is designed to deliver 20 mcg of levonorgestrel per day for the indication of long-term contraception, and is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the United States. Pending FDA approval, the LNG20 product could be launched in the U.S. as early as 2014. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $191.7 million in IPR&D, $6.7 million in prepaid R&D and contingent consideration of $146.1 million.
Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the Medicines360 Acquisition was not material.

Acquisition of Uteron Pharma, SA
On January 23, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Uteron Pharma, SA for approximately $142.0 million in cash, plus assumption of debt and other liabilities of $7.7 million and up to $155.0 million in potential future milestone payments (the Uteron Acquisition). The acquisition expanded the Companys specialty brand pipeline of Womens Health products including two potential near term commercial opportunities in contraception and infertility, and one oral contraceptive project projected to launch by 2018. Several additional products in earlier stages of development were also acquired in the Uteron Acquisition.

IPR&D
The fair value of the IPR&D intangible assets as determined by IPR&D Acquisition Accounting was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value of IPR&D intangible assets as of the acquisition date was 22% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Contingent Consideration
Additional consideration is conditionally due to the seller upon the achievement of certain milestones in respect to the development and commercialization of the products as well as reaching certain sales targets. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $43.4 million using a probability weighting approach that considered the possible outcomes based on assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch date, discount rates matched to the timing of first payment, and probability of success rates and discount adjustments on the related cash flows.
Long-Term Deferred Tax Liabilities and Other Tax Liabilities
Long-term deferred tax liabilities and other tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is multiplied by the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the deferred taxes exist.

Acquisition of Actavis Group
On October 31, 2012, the Company completed the Actavis Group Acquisition. The Actavis Group was a privately held generic pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of generic pharmaceuticals. With the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Company significantly expanded its international market presence in established markets including Europe and MEAAP (defined below). In addition, the acquisition expanded the Companys product portfolio and pipeline in modified release, solid oral dosage and transdermal products into semi-solids, liquids and injectables. Actavis Group results are included in the Pharma segment as of the acquisition date.
The Company funded the cash portion of the transaction through a combination of term loan borrowings and senior unsecured notes. For additional information, refer to Note 13Long-term Debt.

Goodwill
Among the primary reasons the Company acquired the Actavis Group and factors that contributed to the preliminary recognition of goodwill were a strong commercial presence on an expanded global basis. In addition, the acquisition expanded the Companys product portfolio and pipeline in modified release, solid oral dosage and transdermal products into semi-solids, liquids and injectables. The goodwill recognized from the Actavis Group Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from the Actavis Group Acquisition was assigned to the Pharma segment.

Contingent Consideration
At December 31, 2012, the Company estimated the Actavis Group earn-out to be 3.85 million shares. On March 28, 2013, based on further evaluation, the decision was made to award the remaining 1.65 million contingent shares. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded expense of $150.3 million for contingent consideration as a result of the decision to award all remaining contingent shares.
Long-Term Deferred Tax Liabilities and Other Tax Liabilities
Long-term deferred tax liabilities and other tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is multiplied by the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the deferred taxes exist.
Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the Company, as though the Actavis Group Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance, acquisition costs and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair valuation of assets acquired, the impact of acquisition financing in place at January 1, 2012 and the related tax effects. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable subsequent to the acquisition date. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company:

Divested Products
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Company was required to divest certain assets. On October 31, 2012, a total of 22 generic pharmaceutical products owned by either Actavis Group or Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. were sold to Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in a number of therapeutic categories where the two companies owned overlapping products. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s net sales of divested products were $18.5 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Actavis Groups net sales of divested products were $60.8 million and $90.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The sale of the Actavis Group divested products did not have an impact on our net revenues as these amounts were not included in the results of operations of the Company for the respective periods. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no one product accounted for more than one percent of the Companys consolidated net revenues.
Measurement Period Adjustments
In connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Company has notified the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that certain Medicaid price submissions require adjustment for the period 2007 through 2012. The Company is in the process of completing that resubmission. The Company has proposed to CMS that periods prior to 2007 not be recalculated and as a result no amounts have been estimated for those periods. The Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $31.0 million to reduce the estimated
F-26
liability originally recorded in the acquisition accounting in the third quarter of 2013. The amount was not considered material and therefore prior periods have not been revised.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is acquisition costs totaling $26.8 million and $73.5 million, respectively, for acquisition and integration costs including advisory, legal and regulatory costs incurred in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Acquisition of Ascent Pharmahealth Ltd.
On January 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Ascent Pharmahealth Ltd. (Ascent) the Australian and Southeast Asian generic pharmaceutical business of Strides Arcolab Ltd. for AU$376.6 million, or approximately $392.6 million, including working capital adjustments (the Ascent Acquisition). As a result of the acquisition, the Company enhanced its commercial presence in Australia and gained selling and marketing capabilities in Southeast Asia. In Australia, Ascent markets generic, brands, OTC and dermatology and skin care products. In Southeast Asia, Ascent markets generic and OTC products. Ascents Southeast Asian business includes commercial operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represent product rights, contractual rights and trade names and have an estimated weighted average useful life of nine years. The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rates used to arrive at the present value of product right intangible assets as of the acquisition date ranged from 7.5% to 10.0% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
F-27
Goodwill
Among the primary reasons the Company acquired Ascent and factors that contributed to the preliminary recognition of goodwill were a strong commercial presence in the Australian and Southeast Asian pharmaceutical markets, history of operating margins and profitability, opportunity to generate revenue as well as a platform to grow in additional Southeast Asian markets. The goodwill recognized from the Ascent Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. All goodwill from the Ascent acquisition was assigned to the Pharma segment.
Long-Term Deferred Tax Liabilities and Other Tax Liabilities
Long-term deferred tax liabilities and other tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is multiplied by the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the deferred taxes exist.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 is acquisition costs totaling $5.0 million for advisory, legal and regulatory costs incurred in connection with the Ascent Acquisition.

Acquisition of Specifar
On May 25, 2011, the Company and each of the shareholders (together, the Sellers) of Paomar PLC (Paomar) entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity of Paomar for cash totaling 400.0 million, or approximately $561.7 million at closing, subject to a net of working capital adjustment of 1.5 million, or approximately $2.2 million, and certain contingent consideration (the Specifar Acquisition). Paomar is a company incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and owner of 100 percent of the shares of Specifar Commercial Industrial Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Construction Exploitations Societe Anonyme, a company organized under the laws of Greece. Specifar owns 100 percent of the shares of Alet Pharmaceuticals Industrial and Commercial Societe Anonyme (Alet). The contingent consideration due to the Specifar Acquisition (not to exceed an aggregate total of 40.0 million) is based on the gross profits on sales of the generic tablet version of Nexium® (esomeprazole) developed by Specifar during its first five years of sales in countries including major markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America, as well as in Canada. For additional information on the contingent payment, refer to NOTE 20Fair Value Measurements.
Through the Specifar Acquisition, the Company gained a generic pharmaceuticals product development company that develops and out-licenses generic pharmaceutical products primarily in Europe. In addition, the acquisition enhanced the Companys commercial presence in key European markets by providing a portfolio of products and provides a commercial presence in the branded-generic Greek pharmaceuticals market, including the Specifar and Alet brands of products. The Company funded the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings from the Companys credit facility. Specifar results are included in the Pharma segment subsequent to the acquisition date.

In June 2011, the Company paid and retired $28.8 million in long-term debt assumed in the Specifar Acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $40.3 million related to a manufacturing facility located in Greece that was acquired as part of the Specifar Acquisition. The impairment for the Greece facility was due to a change in the intended use of the facility as a result of the Companys decision during the third quarter of 2012 to discontinue further construction as a result of the Actavis Group Acquisition.
Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired includes a step-up in the value of inventories of approximately $10.0 million, which was recognized as a component of cost of sales as the inventory acquired was sold to the Companys customers during the year ended December 31, 2011.
IPR&D and Intangible Assets
The fair value of the IPR&D intangible assets as determined by IPR&D Acquisition Accounting and the fair value of intangible assets was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value of IPR&D projects as of the acquisition date was approximately 17.0% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the projections as the products have not yet received regulatory approval. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include development, legal and regulatory risk. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Intangible assets represent currently marketed products and have an estimated weighted average useful life of 7.0 years. IPR&D intangible assets represent products that were expected to be approved for marketing over the next few years.
F-29
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $117.8 million related to product rights and IPR&D acquired in connection with the Specifar Acquisition. The impairment relating to the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Specifar Acquisition related to esomeprazole product rights following the Company decision to discontinue selling the product as a result of products acquired in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition ($16.8 million). In addition, the Company recorded a charge related to three products in development as a result of various factors occurring during the same period mainly related to delays in expected launch dates, competitive factors resulting in realization of lower pricing and incremental costs related to manufacturing efforts. These events led to revised estimates of the fair value of each IPR&D asset compared to the carrying values ($101.0 million).
Goodwill Allocation
Among the primary reasons the Company entered into the Specifar Acquisition and factors that contributed to a purchase price allocation resulting in the recognition of goodwill were a history of operating margins and profitability, a strong R&D organization and the ability to expand the Companys commercial footprint on a global basis, which will enable it to expand its product offerings. The goodwill recognized from the Specifar Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. All goodwill from the Specifar Acquisition was assigned to the Pharma segment.
Contingent Consideration
The Companys purchase price allocation determined the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation to be $35.5 million based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded fair value adjustments resulting in a gain of $27.5 million based on forecasted esomeprazole profits. As of December 31, 2013, all contingent consideration has been settled.
Long-Term Deferred Tax Liabilities and Other Tax Liabilities
Long-term deferred tax liabilities and other tax liabilities result from purchase accounting adjustments for the inventory fair value step-up and identifiable IPR&D and intangible assets fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is multiplied by the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the deferred taxes exist.
Acquisition-Related Expenses

Other Business Development
The Companys two most significant products in 2012 were the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER) and Lipitor® (atorvastatin), which on a combined basis comprised approximately 25% of the Companys Pharma revenues. These products were sold pursuant to exclusive marketing arrangements.
In November 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI) to market the authorized generic version of Concerta® (methylphenidate ER). Under the terms of the agreement, OMJPI supplies the Company with product. The Company launched its authorized generic of Concerta® on May 1, 2011.
Under the terms of its agreement with OMJPI, the Company pays a royalty to OMJPI based on the gross profit of product revenues as defined in the agreement. During 2012, the royalty payable to OMJPI ranged from 50% to 55% of sales. In 2013, the Companys royalty payable on sales of methylphenidate ER declined to 30% when a third party competitor launched a competing bioequivalent product. The change in royalty was a one-time event and was applied on a strength-by-strength basis following the launch of the first third-party generic competitor. This royalty includes the cost of the product supplied by OMJPI. The agreement with OMJPI expires on December 31, 2014 and is subject to normal and customary early termination provisions. The agreement with OMJPI has been accounted for as a distribution arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the net sales of the authorized generic product in the period earned and reflected the cost of product sold and the royalty payments to OMJPI in costs of goods sold in the period incurred.
During 2011 and 2012, Atorvastatin was sold pursuant to an exclusive agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer). The Company launched its authorized generic of Lipitor® on November 30, 2011. Due to the significant decline in the market for this product, the Company agreed to terminate this agreement effective January 1, 2013. In exchange, the Company is entitled to receive a royalty on future sales of the product by Pfizer through 2015.
Biosimilars Collaborations
On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Amgen, Inc. (Amgen) to develop and commercialize, on a worldwide basis, several oncology antibody biosimilar medicines (the Amgen Collaboration Agreement). Under the terms of the agreement, Amgen assumed primary responsibility for developing, manufacturing and initially commercializing the oncology antibody products. The Company agreed to contribute up to $400.0 million in co-development costs over the course of development, including the provision of development support, and will share product development risks. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has outstanding commitments of up to $312.4 million under the agreement. In addition, the Company will contribute its significant expertise in the commercialization and marketing of products in highly competitive
F-33
specialty and generic markets, including helping effectively manage the lifecycle of the biosimilar products. The collaboration products are expected to be sold under a joint Amgen/Actavis label. The Company will initially receive royalties and sales milestones from product revenues. The collaboration will not pursue biosimilars of Amgens proprietary products.
On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into a global license agreement with Synthon, obtaining an exclusive license to its trastuzumab molecule, which is being developed as a biosimilar to Herceptin®. The Company subsequently assigned the agreement to Amgen, and contributed the product to the Companys biosimilars collaboration with Amgen. Under the terms of the Synthon agreement, Amgen and the Company will assume all responsibility for worldwide development and commercialization of biosimilar trastuzumab, including Phase III clinical trials and global manufacturing. The agreement entitles Synthon to an initial payment and the opportunity to receive a milestone payment and royalties on net sales. Synthon will also receive compensation for transitional support activities provided under the agreement.
NOTE 5Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. A summary of the Companys share-based compensation plans is presented below.
Equity Award Plans
Actavis plc, the Companys parent, has adopted several equity award plans, all of which have been approved by the Actavis plc shareholders, which authorize the granting of options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and other forms of equity awards of the Companys parent ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions. Effective October 1, 2013, the Company recognizes the applicable expense for the employees receiving the award, while Actavis plc recognizes the equity issuance. At December 31, 2013, Actavis plc had reserved 10.2 million of its ordinary shares for issuance of share-based compensation awards under their equity award plans, which includes 1.3 million shares reserved under the Warner Chilcott plan.
Option award plans require options to be granted at the fair value of the shares underlying the options at the date of the grant and generally become exercisable over periods ranging from three to five years. Each option granted expires ten years from the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Companys parent issued 225,000 stock options with an aggregate fair value of $4.9 million. The grant date fair value of options is based on a Black-Scholes grant date fair value of $21.63 per share. There were no option grants during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Companys parent authorized and issued restricted stock and restricted stock units to the Companys employees, including its executive officers and certain non-employee directors (the Participants) under the Companys equity compensation plans. Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to shares of Ordinary Shares of the Companys parent, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock unit awards are grants that entitle the holder the right to receive an Ordinary Share of the Companys parent, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (both time-based vesting and performance-based vesting) generally have restrictions eliminated over a one to four year vesting period. Restrictions generally lapse for non-employee directors after one year. Certain restricted stock units are performance-based awards issued at a target number with the actual number of restricted shares issued ranging based on achievement of the performance criteria.
During the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $45.4 million of stock-based compensation relating to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition. These costs included the immediate vesting of outstanding equity for certain employees on October 1, 2013, as well as the recognition of compensation over the remaining vesting period for severed employees.
F-34
Fair Value Assumptions
The Company has granted equity-based incentives to its employees comprised of restricted stock and restricted stock units. All restricted stock and restricted stock units (whether time-based vesting or performance-based vesting), are granted and expensed, using the closing market price per share on the applicable grant date, over the applicable vesting period. Non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares were granted to employees at exercise prices per share equal to the closing market price per share on the date of grant. The fair value of non-qualified options was determined on the applicable grant dates using the Black-Scholes method of valuation and that amount was recognized as an expense over the four year vesting period.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $133.6 million (including $1.5 million of non-equity settled awards), $48.8 million (including $0.7 million of non-equity settled awards) and $39.8 million, respectively (related tax benefits were $44.4 million, $17.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively). Unrecognized future stock-based compensation expense was $75.3 million as of December 31, 2013. This amount will be recognized as an expense over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 years. Stock-based compensation is being amortized and charged to operations over the same period as the restrictions are eliminated for the Participants, which is generally on a straight-line basis.

NOTE 6Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Employee Benefit Plan Obligations
As part of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, on October 1, 2013, the Company assumed defined benefit pension plans (the WC Plan) covering certain employees in Western Europe. In connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition on October 31, 2012, the Company assumed all of the Actavis Groups defined benefit obligations and assets for its qualified and non-qualified pension plans and postretirement plans. Prior to these acquisitions the Company did not have any material defined benefit plans. Retirement benefits are generally based on an employees years of service and compensation. Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local country practices and market circumstances.
Net periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit plans was deminimis in the year ended December 31, 2012. The net periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit plans for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Obligations and Funded Status
Employee benefit plans are an exception to the recognition and fair value measurement principles in business combinations. Employee benefit plan obligations are recognized and measured in accordance with the existing authoritative literature for accounting for benefit plans rather than at fair value. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the benefit plans acquired as part of its acquisitions and recognized an asset or liability for the funded status of these plans as of the respective acquisition dates.

The underfunding of pension benefits is primarily a function of the different funding incentives that exist outside of the United States. In certain countries, there are no legal requirements or financial incentives provided to companies to pre-fund pension obligations. In these instances, benefit payments are typically paid directly by the Company as they become due.
F-37
Plan Assets
Companies are required to use a fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest:
Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The Level 3 assets are those whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques with significant unobservable inputs, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The fair values of the Companys pension plan assets at December 31, 2013 by asset category are as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions
The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligations of the Companys defined benefit plans are as follows:
As of December 31, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Discount rate |
3.9 | % | 4.5 | % | ||||

The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the net periodic benefit cost of the Companys defined benefit plans are as follows:
As of December 31, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Discount rate |
3.8 | % | 4.5 | % | ||||
Expected rate of return on plan assets |
3.3 | % | 5.1 | % | ||||
Salary growth rate |
2.5 | % | 4.6 | % |
In order to select a discount rate for purposes of valuing the plan obligations the Company uses returns of long-term investment grade bonds and adjusts them as needed to fit the estimated duration of the plan liabilities.
The expected rate of return represents the average rate of return to be earned on plan assets over the period the benefits included in the benefit obligation are to be paid. In developing the expected rate of return, long-term historical returns data are considered as well as actual returns on the plan assets and other capital markets experience. Using this reference information, the long-term return expectations for each asset category and a weighted average expected return was developed, according to the allocation among those investment categories.
Savings Plans
The Company also maintains certain defined contribution savings plans covering substantially all U.S.-based employees. The Company contributes to the plans based upon the employee contributions. The Companys contributions to these retirement plans were $46.9 million, $25.8 million and $15.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Gain on Sale of Divested Products
In order to obtain regulatory clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, we were required to divest certain assets. On October 1, 2013, four generic pharmaceutical products were sold to Amneal Pharmaceuticals for consideration of $10.0 million, subject to certain refunds of purchase price provisions, which resulted in a deminimis impact on net income. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in both oral contraceptive and osteoporosis treatment. Net sales of divested products were $2.5 million, $4.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In order to obtain regulatory approval under Hart-Scott-Rodino, in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Company was required to divest certain assets. On October 31, 2012, a total of 22 generic pharmaceutical products owned by either Actavis Group or Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. were sold to Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $24.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The divested products consisted of both commercial and development stage products in a number of therapeutic categories where the two companies owned overlapping products. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s net sales of divested products were $18.5 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Actavis Groups net sales of divested products were $60.8 million and $90.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The sale of the Actavis Group divested products did not have an impact on our net revenues as these amounts were not included in the results of operations of the Company for the respective periods. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no one product accounted for more than one percent of the Companys consolidated net revenues. For additional information refer to NOTE4 Acquisitions and Other Agreements.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
As a result of the extinguishment of our $450.0 million senior secured notes (Refer to Note 13Long Term Debt), the Company recorded a loss of $17.1 million in other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company incurred a $1.5 million non-cash write-off of deferred loan costs in connection with the optional prepayment of term loan indebtedness.
Loss on Foreign Exchange Derivative

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the following key items impacted goodwill:
| The increase in Pharma segment goodwill in 2013 is primarily due to goodwill of $3,992.9 million recognized in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition and the goodwill recognized in connection with the Uteron Acquisition of $26.4 million; |
| As described below, the Company recorded an impairment of the PharmaEurope reporting unit of $647.5 million, representing primarily all the goodwill allocated to this reporting unit. |
During the 2013 integration of the Actavis Group with the Watson business, the Company reorganized its organizational structure and management performance reporting, which was further reorganized in January of 2014 and July of 2014. Previously, the reporting units within our Pharma operating segment were organized as follows: Americas (The United States of America (U.S.), Canada, Latin America), Europe (Europe, Russia, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Turkey), and MEAAP (Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia Pacific). These reporting units combined the Watson and Actavis Group businesses. Previously, goodwill for the Watsons Global Generics operating segment was tested as one unit. The combination of the Watson and the Actavis Group business and net assets in the European reporting unit, combined with other market factors, led to the impairment of the goodwill associated with this reporting unit.
F-45
During the second quarter of 2013, concurrent with the availability of discrete financial information for our new reporting units, the Company completed an extensive review of its operating businesses, including exploring options for addressing overall profitability of seven Western European commercial operations consisting of, among other things, restructuring their operations, refocusing their activities on specific sub-markets, as well as potential divestitures of such businesses to other third parties. The potential impact of these conditions were considered in the Companys projections when determining the indicated fair value of its reporting units for the impairment tests that were performed during the second quarter of this year. Upon completion of step one of the impairment analysis for each of the Companys reporting units, it was concluded the fair value of the PharmaEurope reporting unit was below its carrying value including goodwill. This was primarily related to the integration of our Arrow Group (acquired on December 2, 2009, in exchange for cash consideration of $1.05 billion, approximately 16.9 million shares of the Companys Restricted Ordinary Shares and 200,000 shares of the Companys Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock and certain contingent consideration (the Arrow Group Acquisition)) with the Actavis Group in Europe. The fair value of the Companys reporting units was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using managements business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows for approximately five years and residual growth rates ranging from 2% to 4% thereafter. Management believes that the assumptions it used for the impairment tests performed are consistent with those that would be utilized by a market participant in performing similar valuations of its reporting units. A separate discount rate was utilized for each reporting unit that was derived from published sources and, on a weighted average basis, a discount rate of 8% was utilized using the Companys weighted average cost of capital, which considered the overall inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return a market participant would expect. As a result of completing step two of the Companys impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment of the PharmaEurope reporting unit of $647.5 million, representing primarily all the goodwill allocated to this reporting unit, in the year ended December 31, 2013.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company tested its reporting units, in addition to PharmaEurope, for impairment, none of which yielded an impairment in step one of the test. The Company will continue to monitor the carrying value of goodwill, particularly with respect to our PharmaMEAAP and PharmaThird Party reporting units. As of June 30, 2013, PharmaThird Party had $125.0 million of goodwill and PharmaMEAAP had $178.0 million of goodwill. As of the annual impairment test, these two reporting units had fair values that exceeded carrying values by at least 23%. However, because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining fair value of these reporting units are outside the control of management, including interest rates, the cost of capital and tax rates, changes in these underlying assumptions can also adversely impact the business units fair value. The amount of any impairment is dependent on all these factors, which cannot be predicted with certainty, and may result in impairment for a portion or all of the goodwill amounts noted previously. Holding all other assumptions constant at the test date, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would reduce the fair values that exceeded carrying values from the 23% to as low as 6%. If economic and market conditions deteriorate or do not perform as forecasted in these reporting units, this could increase the likelihood of future non-cash impairment charges related to our goodwill. The Company also reconciled the fair value of its aggregated reporting units to its market capitalization as of June 30, 2013 with a reasonable implied control premium.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment of goodwill, IPR&D and trade name intangibles assets with indefinite-lives. The Company determined there was no impairment associated with goodwill or trade name intangible assets.

On October 1, 2013, the Company acquired intangible assets in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition of $4,729.0 million, including $3,021.0 million relating to product rights and other related intangibles. In addition the Company acquired IPR&D of $1,708.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into the Sanofi Amendment, resulting in an addition to intangible assets of $125.0 million.
In January 2013, in connection with the Uteron Acquisition, the Company acquired IPR&D of $250.0 million.
In June 2013, in connection with the acquisition of Medicines360, the Company recorded IPR&D of $191.7 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge associated with Gabapentin of $10.8 million, acquired as part of the Actavis Group Acquisition, a $4.4 million impairment charge associated with the Arrow Group Acquisition, an impairment of a product right intangible asset in connection with the Specifar Acquisition for $13.9 million and charges associated with fair value adjustments relating to our assets held for sale.
In October 2012, the Company acquired intangible assets in connection with the Actavis Group Acquisition of $1,697.6 million relating to CMP, $272.9 relating to IPR&D, $38.9 relating to core technology, $427.8 million
F-47
relating to trademarks and $103.7 relating to customer relationships. CMP intangibles have been included in product rights and other related intangibles and will be amortized over a weighted average useful life of 10.8 years.
In January 2012, the Company acquired product rights, contractual rights and trade name intangible assets in connection with the Ascent Acquisition of $192.6 million. These intangibles have been included in product rights and other related intangibles and will be amortized over a weighted average useful life.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $101.0 million related to certain IPR&D assets acquired as part of the Specifar Acquisition resulting in the decrease of IPR&D assets at December 31, 2012. The charge was related to three products in development as a result of various factors occurring during the same period mainly related to delays in expected launch dates, competitive factors resulting in realization of lower pricing and incremental costs related to manufacturing efforts. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.8 million related to esomeprazole product rights following the Company decision to discontinue selling the product as a result of products acquired in connection with the Actavis Group acquisition.
The Company re-evaluates the carrying value of identifiable intangible and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company continually evaluates the appropriateness of useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, including product rights.
Due to changes in market conditions in certain international locations and forecasted performance of certain products not yet launched, the Company performed off-cycle impairment reviews in 2011 and recorded impairment charges of $102.8 million related to certain acquired IPR&D assets during 2011. The impairment charges in 2011 include $75.8 million related to IPR&D intangibles acquired in the Companys acquisition of the progesterone gel business from Columbia and $27.0 million of IPR&D intangibles acquired in the Arrow Acquisition. These impairment charges result from the Companys then current estimates of the fair value of these IPR&D assets, based on updated forecasts, compared to their assigned fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets generally is determined using an income approach, based on a forecast of all expected future net cash flows related to the asset which are adjusted to present value using appropriate discount rates. Forecasts used to determine fair values of IPR&D assets are based on assumptions which include, among other factors, the impact of changes to the development programs, the current competitive environment, the regulatory timeframes impacting future product launch dates and the risk associated with these assets.
Assuming no additions, disposals or adjustments are made to the carrying values and/or useful lives of the intangible assets, annual amortization expense on product rights over the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in millions):
Amount | ||||
2014 |
$ | 1,667.0 | ||

2016 |
$ | 767.0 | ||
2017 |
$ | 609.0 | ||
2018 |
$ | 496.0 |
The above amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts may change from such estimated amounts due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, additional intangible asset acquisitions, finalization of preliminary fair value estimate, potential impairments, accelerated amortization or other events.

(WC Luxco), WCCL (WC Company and, together with WC Corporation and WC Luxco, the WC Borrowers), as borrowers, and Warner Chilcott Finance LLC, as a subsidiary guarantor, became parties to that certain Warner Chilcott Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the WC Term Loan Agreement), dated as of August 1, 2013, by and among the Company, as parent guarantor, Bank of America (BofA), as administrative agent thereunder and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders. Pursuant to the WC Term Loan Agreement, on the Closing Date, the lenders party thereto provided term loans to the WC Borrowers in a total aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion, comprised of (i) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2016 (the Three Year Tranche) and (ii) a $1.0 billion tranche that will mature on October 1, 2018 (the Five Year Tranche). The proceeds of borrowings under the WC Term Loan Agreement, together with $41.0 million of cash on hand, were used to finance, the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under Warner Chilcotts then-existing Credit Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 20, 2012, among the WC Borrowers, BofA, as administrative agent and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders.
Borrowings under the WC Term Loan Agreement bear interest at the applicable WC Borrowers choice of a per annum rate equal to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin per annum varying from (x) 0.00% per annum to 0.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 0.125% per annum to 0.875% per annum
F-49
under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the publicly announced debt ratings for non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term indebtedness of Parent (such applicable debt rating the Debt Rating) or (b) a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin varying from (x) 1.00% per annum to 1.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 1.125% per annum to 1.875% per annum under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the Debt Rating.
The outstanding principal amount of loans under the Three Year Tranche is not subject to quarterly amortization and shall be payable in full on the three year anniversary of the Closing Date. The outstanding principal amount of loans under the Five Year Tranche is payable in equal quarterly amounts of 2.50% per quarter prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, with the remaining balance payable on the fifth year anniversary of the Closing Date.
The WC Term Loan Agreement provides that all obligations thereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by (i) the Company, (ii) each subsidiary of the Company (other than any WC Borrower) that is a primary obligor or a guarantor under the 7.75% senior notes due 2018 issued by the Puerto Rico Borrower and Warner Chilcott Finance LLC and (iii) any subsidiary (other than any WC Borrower) that becomes a guarantor of third party indebtedness of a WC Borrower in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $200.0 million (unless, in the case of a foreign subsidiary, such guarantee would give rise to adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by Parent).
The New Term Loan Agreement contains representations and warranties, financial reporting covenants and other affirmative covenants, negative covenants, a financial covenant and events of default that are substantially similar to those in the Amended and Restated Credit Facilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company made optional prepayments totaling $75.0 million of its indebtedness under the Three Year Tranche and $67.3 million of its indebtedness under the Five Year Tranche. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding indebtedness under the Three Year Tranche and the Five Year Tranche was $925.0 million and $907.8 million, respectively. The book value of the outstanding indebtedness approximates fair value as the debt is at variable interest rates and re-prices frequently.

F-50
The ACT Term Loan Agreement contains covenants that are substantially similar to those in the Companys Amended and Restated Revolver (defined below).

The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations including contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in
F-55
ASC 820. The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty, major risks and uncertainties associated with the successful completion of the projects triggering the contingent obligation. At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. Accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the contingent liability is included in operating income for the period.

The total net deferred tax liability increased by $123.1 million due to current year acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the deferred taxes reported on the consolidated balance sheet include $6.4 million related to long-term taxes receivable.
The Company had the following carryforward tax attributes at December 31, 2013:
| $2,162.9 million U.S. capital loss which will expire in 2018 |
| $47.8 million U.S. state tax net operating losses (NOL) which begin to expire in 2014; |
| $940.2 million non-U.S. tax NOLs which begin to expire in 2014; and $474.2 million non-U.S. tax NOLs which are not subject to expiration. |
| $26.0 million of tax credits in non-U.S. jurisdictions which begin to expire in 2014 and $69.4 million of tax credits in non-U.S. jurisdictions which are not subject to expiration. |
A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of realizing a capital loss carryforward ($757.0 million), certain net operating losses ($106.8 million), some non-U.S. deferred tax assets ($32.3 million) and deferred tax assets relating to some impaired investments ($4.6 million).
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain of the Companys non-Irish subsidiaries of approximately $1,258.4 million as of December 31, 2013, as these amounts are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in non-Irish operations. It is not practicable to calculate the deferred taxes associated with these earnings because of the variability of multiple factors that would need to be assessed at the time of any assumed repatriation. In making this assertion, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the profitability of its Irish and non-Irish operations and the need for cash within and outside Ireland, including cash requirements for capital improvement, acquisitions and market expansion. Additionally, the Company has accrued withholding taxes of approximately $6.9 million for certain pre-acquisition earnings for some acquired subsidiaries. The Company expects that future earnings in these subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested.
F-58
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the liability for income tax associated with uncertain tax positions was $232.8 million, $103.7 million and $71.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company estimates that this liability would be reduced by $58.4 million from offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of state income taxes and net operating losses with valuation allowances. The net amount of $174.4 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Companys effective tax rate.

The Companys continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the company recognized approximately $2.1 million, $1.3 million and $2.2 million in interest and penalties, respectively. At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 the Company had accrued $9.9 million (net of tax benefit of $4.3 million), $9.5 million (net of tax benefit of $4.4 million) and $4.2 million (net of tax benefit of $2.6 million) of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, respectively. Although the company cannot determine the impact with certainty, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may change by up to $11.0 million within the next twelve months.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, it files federal, state and foreign tax returns. The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for amounts it believes are the probable outcomes, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is more or less than that reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations between tax authorities, identification of new issues and issuance of new legislation, regulations or case law. Management believes that adequate amounts of tax and related penalty and interest have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these uncertain tax positions.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2008. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company resolved the 2007-2009 examination for Arrows U.S. business, resulting in a reduction of the uncertain tax positions by $3.9 million with no impact on the effective tax rate. For the Companys 2008-2009 tax years, the IRS has agreed on all issues except the timing of the deductibility of certain litigation costs. The IRS is examining the 2009-2011 tax returns for Actavis pre-acquisition U.S. business. Additionally, the IRS has begun the examination of the Companys 2010-2011 tax years in the second quarter of 2013.
The Companys acquired Warner Chilcott U.S. business is currently under audit by the IRS for the 2008-2009 tax years. Although the Company believes that this audit is near completion, the IRS is still assessing
F-59
whether there may be proposed adjustments. Further, the IRS has indicated that it will commence an audit of the 2010-2011 tax years upon completion of the audit of the 2008-2009 tax years, both of which the IRS expects will occur in 2014. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the Company has accrued for amounts it believes are the likely outcomes at this time.
The Warner Chilcott U.S. operating entities entered into an Advanced Pricing Agreement (APA) with the IRS that specifies the agreed upon terms under which the Warner Chilcott U.S. entities are compensated for distribution and service transactions between the Warner Chilcott U.S. entities and the Warner Chilcott non-U.S. entities, effective for 2011 through 2017. On December 17, 2013, Warner Chilcott UK Limited signed an APA with the United Kingdom tax authorities that specifies the agreed upon terms under which Warner Chilcott UK Limited is compensated for the purchase of certain finished pharmaceutical products by Warner Chilcott U.K. from various Warner Chilcott non-U.K. entities related to the distribution of these products in the U.K. for calendar years 2013 through 2017 with a rollback covering 2010 through 2012. These APAs provide the Company with greater certainty with respect to the mix of its pretax income in certain of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and is applicable to the Companys Warner Chilcott U.S. and U.K. operations. The Company believes that its transfer pricing arrangements comply with existing U.S. and non-U.S. tax rules.
NOTE 16Equity
Preferred stock
In 1992, the Companys Parent authorized 2.5 million shares of no par preferred shares. The board of directors has the authority to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including but not limited to, dividend rates, conversion and voting rights, terms and prices of redemptions and liquidation preferences without vote or action by the stockholders. On December 2, 2009 the Company issued 200,000 shares of Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares in connection with Arrow Acquisition. The Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock was redeemed for cash of $200.0 million on December 2, 2012. As of December 31, 2013 there were no outstanding preferred shares.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
For most of the Companys international operations, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive income / (loss). The effects of converting non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 17Segments
The Company reported its business as two operating segments: Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution. The Pharma segment includes patent-protected products, certain trademarked off-patent pharmaceutical products that we sell and market as branded pharmaceutical products, and off-patent pharmaceutical products that are therapeutically equivalent to proprietary products. The Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by the Company, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Pharma segment. These financial statements have been revised to reflect this change.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in NOTE 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for Pharma and Anda Distribution represents segment net revenues less cost of sales (excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles including product rights), selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. The Company does not report total assets, capital expenditures, R&D, amortization, goodwill impairments, loss on assets held for sale and loss on asset sales, impairments and contingent consideration adjustment, net by segment as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, nor has such information been used by all segments. R&D related to our Pharma segment was $616.9 million, $402.5 million and $306.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $221.6 million, $47.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively.
NOTE 19Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Companys revenue, earnings, cash flows and fair value of its assets and liabilities can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange risks and interest rates, as applicable. The Company manages the impact of foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements through operational means and through the use of various financial instruments, including derivative instruments such as foreign currency contracts.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
As a result of the Actavis Group Acquisition, the Companys exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations has increased. The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate volatility in anticipated foreign currency cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily associated with non-functional currency denominated revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries. The foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2013 have settlement dates within one month. The effect of the derivative contracts was a gain of $0.3 million and a loss of $70.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recognized in other income (expense). The forward contracts are classified in the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other assets or accounts payable and accrued expenses, as applicable. In 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange options and forward contracts to hedge its agreed upon purchase of Actavis of 4.25 billion. The foreign currency options had a net premium payable of $156.8 million, which was settled and paid on October 9, 2012. These transactions were entered into to mitigate exposure resulting from movements of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in connection with the Actavis Acquisition, and resulted in a (loss) being reflected in other income and expense of $70.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012.
The foreign currency forward contracts to buy Euros and US dollars and sell New Zealand dollars at December 31, 2013 were as follows:

NOTE 20Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair values determined based on Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined based on Level 2 inputs utilize observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and observable quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not very active. Fair values determined based on Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable inputs and include valuations of assets or liabilities for which there is little, if any, market activity. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the above hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
F-66
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (in millions):

Marketable securities and investments consist of available-for-sale investments in U.S. treasury and agency securities and publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily available. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities and investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, charges of $7.2 million, $1.4 million, and $1.1 million have been included in cost of sales, general and administrative, and R&D, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, charges (credits) of $4.9 million, $0.7 million, $0.6 million and ($27.5) million have been included in cost of sales, R&D, general and administrative and loss on asset sales and impairments, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company transferred to level 1 the contingent obligation for the Actavis Group earn-out ($335.8 million) and the Specifar Acquisition ($6.9 million). The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $43.4 million and $146.1 million in connection with the Uteron Acquisition and the license agreement entered into with Medicines360, respectively, offset in part by contingent payments made to the Arrow Group selling shareholders based on the after-tax gross profits sales of atorvastatin. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded contingent payments made to the Arrow Group selling shareholders based on the after-tax gross profits on sales of atorvastatin within the U.S. of $127.0 million. The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $329.1 million in connection with Actavis Acquisition.
NOTE 21Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Actavis plc and its affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Companys general practice is to expense legal fees as services are rendered in connection with legal matters, and to accrue for liabilities when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.
We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that is accrued. As of December 31, 2013, our consolidated balance sheet includes accrued loss contingencies of approximately $260.0 million.
Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to mass tort actions and class actions with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including, but not limited to, qui tam actions, antitrust, product liability, breach of contract, securities, patent infringement and trade practices), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, some matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss. In those proceedings in which plaintiffs do request publicly quantified amounts of relief, we do not believe that the quantified amounts are meaningful because they are merely stated jurisdictional limits, exaggerated and/or unsupported by the evidence or applicable burdens of proof.
Antitrust Litigation
Actos® Litigation. On December 31, 2013 two putative class actions were filed in the federal district court (United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltc. Et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 13-9244 and Crosby Tugs LLC v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 13-9250) against Actavis plc and certain of its affiliates alleging that Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s (Watson now known as Actavis, Inc.) 2010 patent lawsuit settlement with Takeda Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. related to Actos® (pioglitazone hydrochloride and metformin Actos®) is unlawful. Several additional complaints have been filed (Fraternal Order of Police, Fort

Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-0116; International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health & Welfare Fund v.

No. 14-125; Minnesota and North Dakota Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Health Fund and Greater Metropolitan Hotel Employers-Employees Health and Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1691; Local 17 Hospitality Benefit Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1788; New England Electrical Workers Benefit Fund v.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., Civ. No. 14-2137; Man-U Service Contract Trust Fund and Teamsters Union Local 115 Health & Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., Civ. No. 14-2846). The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. Prior to the filing of the Painters District Council and City of Providence complaints, plaintiffs in the cases pending in federal court in New York filed a consolidated class action complaint. Plaintiffs in the Painters District Council and City of Providence cases subsequently voluntarily dismissed their complaints in Illinois and Rhode Island, respectively, and refiled their complaints in the Southern District of New York where all the cases have been referred to the same judge. Plaintiffs then filed a consolidated, amended complaint on May 20, 2014 (In re Actos End-Payor Antitrust Litigation, Civ. No. 13-9244). The amended complaint, asserted on behalf of a putative class of indirect purchaser plaintiffs, generally alleges an overall scheme that included Watson improperly delaying the launch of its generic version of Actos® in exchange for substantial payments from Takeda in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on July 11, 2014. Rather than oppose the motions to dismiss, plaintiffs amended their complaint on August 22, 2014. Defendants have until October 10, 2014 to respond to the newly amended complaint.
The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Androgel® Litigation. On January 29, 2009, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the State of California filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Federal Trade Commission, et. al. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., USDC Case No. CV 09-00598) alleging that the September 2006 patent lawsuit settlement between Watson and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Solvay), related to AndroGel® 1% (testosterone gel) CIII is unlawful. The complaint generally alleged that Watson improperly delayed its launch of a generic version of Androgel® in exchange for Solvays agreement to permit Watson to co-promote Androgel® for consideration in excess of the fair value of the services provided by Watson, in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint sought equitable relief and civil penalties. On February 2 and 3, 2009, three separate lawsuits alleging similar claims were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by various private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly situated claimants (Meijer, Inc., et. al., v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., USDC Case No. EDCV 09-0215); (Rochester Drug Co-Operative, Inc. v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al., Case No. EDCV 09-0226); (Louisiana Wholesale Drug Co. Inc. v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al, Case No. EDCV 09-0228). On April 8, 2009, the Court transferred the government and private cases to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On April 21, 2009 the State of California voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Watson without prejudice. The Federal Trade Commission and the private plaintiffs in the Northern District of Georgia filed amended complaints on May 28, 2009. The private plaintiffs amended their complaints to include allegations concerning conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, conduct in connection with the listing of Solvays patent in the FDA Orange Book, and sham litigation. Additional

actions alleging similar claims have been filed in various courts by other private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly situated direct or indirect purchasers of Androgel® (Stephen L.

Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Cocke County, TN Circuit Court Case No. 31,837). On April 20, 2009, Watson was dismissed without prejudice from the Stephen L. LaFrance action pending in the District of New Jersey. On October 5, 2009, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all actions then pending outside of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to that district for consolidated pre-trial proceedings (In re: AndroGel® Antitrust Litigation (No. II), MDL Docket No. 2084), and all currently-pending related actions are presently before that court. On February 22, 2010, the judge presiding over all the consolidated litigations related to Androgel® then pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted Watsons motions to dismiss the complaints, except the portion of the private plaintiffs complaints that include allegations concerning sham litigation. Final judgment in favor of the defendants was entered in the Federal Trade Commissions action on April 21, 2010. On April 25, 2012, the Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal. On June 17, 2013, the Supreme Court issued a decision, holding that the settlements between brand and generic drug companies which include a payment from the brand company to the generic competitor must be evaluated under a rule of reason standard of review and ordered the case remanded (the Supreme Court Androgel Decision). On July 20, 2010, the plaintiff in the Fraternal Order of Police action filed an amended complaint adding allegations concerning conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, conduct in connection with the listing of Solvays patent in the FDAs Orange Book, and sham litigation similar to the claims raised in the direct purchaser actions. On October 28, 2010, the judge presiding over MDL 2084 entered an order pursuant to which the LeGrand action, filed on September 10, 2010, was consolidated for pretrial purposes with the other indirect purchaser class action as part of MDL 2084 and made subject to the Courts February 22, 2010 order on the motion to dismiss. In February 2012, the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs and the defendants filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and on June 22, 2012, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs, including Fraternal Order of Police, LeGrand and HealthNet, filed a motion for leave to amend and consolidate their complaints. On September 28, 2012, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on all outstanding claims. The plaintiffs then appealed. On September 12 and 13, 2013, respectively, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs and direct purchaser plaintiffs filed motions with the district court, asking the court for an indicative ruling that it would vacate its final order on the parties summary judgment motions and conduct further proceedings in light of the Supreme Court Androgel Decision, should the Court of Appeals remand the case to the district court. On October 23, 2013, the district court granted the motions. The court of appeals remanded the case back to the district court which has granted plaintiffs relief under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, vacating the ruling from which plaintiffs appealed. On August 5, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 15, 2014.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cipro ® Litigation. Beginning in July 2000, a number of suits were filed against Watson and certain Company affiliates including The Rugby Group, Inc. (Rugby) in various state and federal courts alleging claims under various federal and state competition and consumer protection laws. Several plaintiffs have filed amended complaints and motions seeking class certification. Approximately 42 cases were filed against Watson, Rugby and other Company entities. Many of these actions have been dismissed. Actions remain pending in various state courts, including California, Kansas, Tennessee, and Florida. The actions generally allege that the
F-70
defendants engaged in unlawful, anticompetitive conduct in connection with alleged agreements, entered into prior to Watsons acquisition of Rugby from Sanofi Aventis (Sanofi), related to the development, manufacture and sale of the drug substance ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, the generic version of Bayers brand drug, Cipro®. The actions generally seek declaratory judgment, damages, injunctive relief, restitution and other relief on behalf of certain purported classes of individuals and other entities. The action pending in Kansas, which the court previously terminated administratively, has been reopened. Plaintiffs in that case moved for class certification on February 21, 2014; defendants filed opposition to the class certification motion on May 23, 2014. Class discovery ended on July 25, 2014 and plaintiffs filed reply briefs in support of certification on August 22, 2014. There has been no action in the cases pending in Florida and Tennessee since 2003. In the action pending in the California Superior Court for the County of San Diego (In re: Cipro Cases I & II, JCCP Proceeding Nos. 4154 & 4220), on July 21, 2004, the California Court of Appeal ruled that the majority of the plaintiffs would be permitted to pursue their claims as a class. On August 31, 2009, the California Superior Court granted defendants motion for summary judgment, and final judgment was entered on September 24, 2009. On October 31, 2011, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Courts judgment. On December 13, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court. On February 15, 2012, the California Supreme Court granted review. On September 12, 2012, the California Supreme Court entered a stay of all proceedings in the case pending a decision from the United States Supreme Court in the Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis matter involving Androgel, described above. The California Supreme Court lifted the stay on June 26, 2013 following the ruling by the United States Supreme Court. Plaintiffs and Bayer recently announced that they have reached an agreement to settle the claims pending against Bayer. Plaintiffs are continuing to pursue claims against the generic defendants, including Watson and Rugby. The remaining parties submitted letter briefs to the court regarding the impact of the Supreme Court Androgel Decision. Response briefs were submitted on February 14, 2014. Amicus briefs were submitted on March 18, 2014 and the parties filed responses to such briefs on April 24, 2014.
In addition to the pending actions, the Company understands that various state and federal agencies are investigating the allegations made in these actions. Sanofi has agreed to defend and indemnify Watson and its affiliates in connection with the claims and investigations arising from the conduct and agreements allegedly undertaken by Rugby and its affiliates prior to Watsons acquisition of Rugby, and is currently controlling the defense of these actions.
Doryx Litigation. In July 2012, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Mylan) filed a complaint against Warner Chilcott and Mayne Pharma International Pty. Ltd. (Mayne) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging that Warner Chilcott and Mayne prevented or delayed Mylans generic competition to Warner Chilcotts Doryx® products in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and tortiously interfered with Mylans prospective economic relationships under Pennsylvania state law. (Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 12-cv-03824). In the complaint, Mylan seeks unspecified treble and punitive damages and attorneys fees.
Following the filing of Mylans complaint, three putative class actions were filed against Warner Chilcott and Mayne by purported direct purchasers, and one putative class action was filed against Warner Chilcott and Mayne by purported indirect purchasers, each in the same court. On December 5, 2013 an additional complaint was filed by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund and on May 9, 2014, Laborers Trust Fund for Northern California filed a complaint each on behalf of additional groups of purported indirect purchasers. Warner has moved to dismiss each of these new complaints. In each case the plaintiffs allege that they paid higher prices for Warner Chilcotts Doryx® products as a result of Warner Chilcotts and Maynes alleged actions preventing or delaying generic competition in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and/or state laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified injunctive relief, treble damages and/or attorneys fees. The court consolidated the purported class actions and the action filed by Mylan and ordered that all the pending cases proceed on the same schedule.
On February 5, 2013, four retailers, including HEB Grocery, Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and Walgreen Co., filed in the same court a civil antitrust complaint in their individual capacities against Warner Chilcott and
F-71
Mayne regarding Doryx®. (Walgreen Co., Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and HEB Grocery Co, LP. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-00658). On March 28, 2013, another retailer, Rite Aid, filed a similar complaint in the same court. (Rite Aid Corp. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-01644). Both retailer complaints recite similar facts and assert similar legal claims for relief to those asserted in the related cases described above. Both retailer complaints have been consolidated with the cases described above.
Warner Chilcott and Mayne moved to dismiss the claims of Mylan, the direct purchasers, the indirect purchasers and the retailers. On November 21, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission filed with the court an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiffs theory of relief. On June 12, 2013, the court entered a denial, without prejudice, of Warner Chilcott and Maynes motions to dismiss. On November 13, 2013, Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement in principle to settle the claims of the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff class representatives for $15.0 million. On February 18, 2014 the court preliminarily approved the settlement and held a hearing for final approval on June 9, 2014. On April 18, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement to settle the claims of the opt-out direct purchasers for $10.9 million. On May 29, 2014 Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement in principle to settle the claims of the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiff class representatives for $8.0 million. On July 11, 2014, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion to approve the settlement with the court and on September 9, 2014 the court, after a hearing, issued an order preliminarily approving this settlement. The final fairness hearing on the indirect purchaser settlement is scheduled for January 7, 2015. Warner Chilcott and Mylan filed motions for summary judgment on March 10, 2014. On June 2, 2014, the court vacated the trial date. A new trial date has not been set.
The Company intends to vigorously defend its rights in the litigations. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. The plaintiffs collectively seek approximately $1.2 billion in compensatory damages, which includes approximately $1.05 billion in purported damages of the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and opt-out direct purchaser plaintiffs with whom the company has settlements in principle. The Company believes these amounts are unfounded and without merit. However, any award of compensatory damages could be subject to trebling. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Lidoderm ® Litigation. On November 8, 2013, a putative class action was filed in the federal district court (Drogueria Betances, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-06542) against Actavis, Inc. and certain of its affiliates alleging that Watsons 2012 patent lawsuit settlement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. related to Lidoderm® (lidocaine transdermal patches, Lidoderm®) is unlawful. The complaint, asserted on behalf of putative classes of direct purchaser plaintiffs, generally alleges that Watson improperly delayed launching generic versions of Lidoderm® in exchange for substantial payments from Endo Pharmaceuticals in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. Additional lawsuits contain similar allegations have followed on behalf of putative classes of direct purchasers (Rochester Drug Cooperative, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-7217; American Sales Co. LLC, v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 14-0022; Cesar Castillo, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 14-0569) and suits filed on behalf of a putative class of end-payer plaintiffs (United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v.Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 13-5257; Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 13-5280; City of Providence v.

No. 14-1548; Irene Kampanis v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-1562). The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. On December 23, 2013, plaintiffs in the United Food and Commercial Workers action filed a motion with the JPML to have all the Lidoderm® antitrust cases consolidated in the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs in several of the other actions filed objections and argued for consolidation in districts where their suits were filed. The motion was heard by the JPML at a hearing on March 27, 2014 and on April 3, 2014 the JPML consolidated the cases in the Northern District of California. (In re Lidoderm Antitrust Litigation, N.D. Cal., MDL No. 14-2521). An initial case conference was held on May 9, 2014 after which the court issued a schedule order. Pursuant to that order, on June 13, 2014 the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed amended and consolidated complaints. The defendants thereafter filed a joint motion to dismiss on July 28, 2014. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to the joint motion on September 8, 2014. Defendants will have until October 14, 2014 to submit a reply.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Loestrin ® 24 Litigation. On April 5, 2013, two putative class actions were filed in the federal district court (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Pub. Ltd. Co., et al., D.N.J., Civ. No. 13-02178, and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa., No. 13-01807) against Actavis, Inc. and certain affiliates alleging that Watsons 2009 patent lawsuit settlement with Warner Chilcott related to Loestrin® 24 Fe (norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, Loestrin® 24) is unlawful. The complaints, both asserted on behalf of putative classes of end-payors, generally allege that Watson and another generic manufacturer improperly delayed launching generic versions of Loestrin® 24 in exchange for substantial payments from Warner Chilcott, which at the time was an unrelated company, in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaints each seek declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. On April 15, 2013, the plaintiff in New York Hotel Trades withdrew its complaint and, on April 16, 2013, refiled it in the federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa., Civ. No. 13-02000). Additional complaints have been filed by different plaintiffs seeking to represent the same putative class of end-payors (A.F. of L. A.G.C. Building Trades Welfare Plan v. Warner Chilcott, et al., D.N.J. 13-02456, Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-02014). Electrical Workers 242 and 294 Health & Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-2862 and City of Providence v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 13-307). In addition to the end-payor suits, two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of a class of direct payors (American Sales Company, LLC v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd., Co. et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 12-347 and Rochester Drug Co-Operative Inc., v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-133476). On June 18, 2013, defendants filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to consolidate these cases in one federal district court. After a hearing on September 26, 2013, the JPML issued an order conditionally transferring all related Loestrin® 24 cases to the federal court for the District of Rhode Island. (In re Loestrin 24 Fe Antitrust Litigation, D.R.I. MDL No. 13-2472). A preliminary hearing was held on November 4, 2013 after which an amended, consolidated complaint was filed on December 6, 2013. On February 6, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs complaints. Plaintiffs filed oppositions to the motion on March 24, 2014 and the Company filed its responses on April 23, 2014. A hearing was held on June 27, 2014 on the motion to dismiss and on September 4, 2014, the court granted the motion. The Company has until October 20, 2014 to respond to
F-73
a complaint that was filed on February 25, 2014 by a group of opt-out direct purchaser plaintiffs. The court had previously ruled that responses to the opt-outs complaint would not be due until 45 days after it ruled on the then pending motions to dismiss. If the court denies the pending motions, the Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. The consolidated case is still in its early stages and discovery has not yet begun on either the class allegations or merits. The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations.
NamendaXR. On September 15, 2014, the State of New York, through the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (The People of the State of New York v. Actavis, PLC, et al., Civ. No. 14-7473) alleging that Forest is acting to prevent or delay generic competition to Forests immediate-release product Namenda in violation of federal and New York antitrust laws and committed other fraudulent acts in connection with its commercial plans for NamendaXR. Previously, the Attorney Generals office had issued a subpoena for records relating to NamendaXR and Namenda to which Forest was responding. In the complaint, the state seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. On September 24, 2014, the state filed a motion for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Forest from discontinuing or otherwise limiting the availability of immediate-release Namenda until the conclusion of the litigation. Forests opposition to the injunction is due October 20, 2014.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend both its brand and generic defendant entities vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Commercial Litigation
Celexa ®/Lexapro® Class Actions. Forest and certain of its affiliates are defendants in three federal court actions filed on behalf of individuals who purchased Celexa® and/or Lexapro® for pediatric use, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the caption In re Celexa and Lexapro Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation. These actions, two of which were originally filed as putative nationwide class actions, and one of which is a putative California-wide class action, allege that Forest marketed Celexa® and/or Lexapro® for off-label pediatric use and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. The complaints assert various similar claims, including claims under the Missouri and California consumer protection statutes, respectively, and state common laws. On February 5, 2013, the district judge overseeing the MDL denied all plaintiffs motions for class certification. On February 18, 2013, the plaintiff in the California action filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On April 16, 2013, the First Circuit denied the petition. On April 30, 2013, plaintiffs in the other two actions filed an Amended Complaint seeking to certify state-wide class actions in Illinois, Missouri, and New York under those states consumer protection statutes. On January 13, 2014, the district judge denied plaintiffs motion with respect to the proposed Illinois and New York classes and allowed it with respect to the proposed Missouri class. We filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on January 27, 2014. On March 12, 2014, we reached agreement with the MDL plaintiffs to settle the Missouri class claims, including claim by both individuals and third party payors that purchased Celexa® or Lexapro® for use by a minor from 1998 to December 31, 2013. In exchange for a release from class members, Forest will pay $7.65 million into a fund that will cover (1) the settlement benefits paid to class members, (2) administration costs, (3) incentive awards to be paid to the representative plaintiffs, and (4) attorneys fees and costs. If valid claims are greater than $4.215 million, Forest will pay up to $2.7 million more to pay for the additional valid claims (the total settlement payment shall not exceed $10.35 million). The district court judge preliminarily approved the settlement on March 14, 2014 and issued an order enjoining all class members and other persons from litigating claims relating to those covered by the settlement. On September 8, 2014, the court granted final approval for the settlement.
F-74
On May 3, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of individuals who purchased Lexapro® for adolescent use, seeking to certify a state-wide class action in California and alleging that our promotion of Lexapro® for adolescent depression has been deceptive. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraph and, on July 29, 2013, we moved to dismiss the complaint. The district court judge granted Forests motion to dismiss on March 5, 2014. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on March 17, 2014 and filed its appeal brief on July 24, 2014. Forest filed its opposition brief on August 25, 2014.
On November 13, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to certify a nationwide class of third-party payor entities that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, and we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 15, 2014. On February 5, 2014, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the complaint and filed a First Amended Complaint, which, among other things, added claims on behalf of a Minnesota class of entities and consumers under Minnesotas consumer protection statutes. We filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on April 9, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
On March 13, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by two third-party payors seeking to certify a nationwide class of persons and entities that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for use by pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, state consumer protection statutes, and state common laws, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. This action was filed as a related action to the action described above in the preceding paragraph. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
On August 28, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (Civ. No. 14-1339) seeking to certify a nationwide class of consumers and subclasses of Washington and Massachusetts consumers that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Forest and certain of its affiliates are also named as defendants in two actions filed on behalf of entities or individuals who purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use pending in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, and arising from similar allegations as those contained in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraphs. The first action, filed on November 6, 2009 under the caption St. Louis Labor Healthcare Network et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc., is brought by two entities that purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa® and/or Lexapro®. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. We have reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve this action for payments that are not material to our financial condition or results of operations. The second action, filed on July 22, 2009 under the caption Crawford v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now known as Luster v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a putative class action on behalf of a class of Missouri citizens who purchased Celexa® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. In October 2010, the court certified a class of Missouri domiciliary citizens who purchased Celexa® for pediatric use at any time prior to the date of the class certification order, but who do not have a claim for personal injury. On
F-75
December 9, 2013, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which was argued on January 8, 2014. On February 21, 2014, we filed a motion to de-certify the class. Decisions on these motions are pending. On March 12, 2014, we informed the judge of the MDL Missouri class settlement described above, including that the federal class encompasses the members of the certified Missouri class in Luster. At a status conference on April 2, 2014 the parties agreed that the action is stayed in light of the injunction contained in the MDL Preliminary Approval Order, described above. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Columbia Laboratories, Inc. Securities Litigation. On June 8, 2012, Watson and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a consolidated amended class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (In re: Columbia Laboratories, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. CV 12-614) by a putative class of Columbia Laboratories stock purchasers. The amended complaint generally alleges that between December 6, 2010 and January 20, 2012, Watson and certain of its officers, as well as Columbia Laboratories and certain of its officers, made false and misleading statements regarding the likelihood of Columbia Laboratories obtaining FDA approval of Prochieve® progesterone gel, Columbia Laboratories developmental drug for prevention of preterm birth. Watson licensed the rights to Prochieve® from Columbia Laboratories in July 2010. The amended complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to disclose material information concerning the statistical analysis of the clinical studies performed by Columbia Laboratories in connection with its pursuit of FDA approval of Prochieve®. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. On August 14, 2012, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims in the amended complaint, which the court granted on June 11, 2013. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on July 11, 2013. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2013. On October 21, 2013, the court granted the motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. In ruling on the motion to dismiss, the court also ruled that if the plaintiffs seek to further amend the complaint, they must file a motion within thirty days seeking permission to do so. On December 20, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on the district courts motion to dismiss ruling and filed their opening appellate brief on March 20, 2014. Respondents briefs in the appeal were filed on April 9, 2014. The oral argument on the appeal likely will be held during the week of November 17, 2014. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and it intends to defend itself vigorously. Additionally, the Company maintains insurance to provide coverage for the claims alleged in the action. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. The action, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Forest Laboratories Securities Litigation. In February and March 2014, nine putative stockholder class actions were brought against Forest, Forests directors, Actavis plc, and certain of Actaviss affiliates. Four actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and have been consolidated under the caption In re Forest Laboratories, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (the Delaware Action). Five actions were filed in New York State Supreme Court and have been consolidated under the caption Turberg v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. et al. (the New York Action). On April 4 and May 5, 2014, respectively, the Delaware and New York plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints in their respective jurisdictions. The amended complaints seek, among other remedies, to enjoin Actaviss proposed acquisition of Forest or damages in the event the transaction closes. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Forest Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Forest for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process, and that the disclosure document fails to disclose allegedly material information about the transaction. The complaints also allege that Actavis, and certain of its affiliates, aided and abetted these alleged breaches. On May 28, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and the New York Action regarding a settlement of both Actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Forest agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with Actavis, which are contained in a Form 8-K filed May 28, 2014. The memorandum of understanding
F-76
contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the Delaware Court of Chancery will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction, the merger agreement, and any disclosure made in connection therewith, including in the Definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the Actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Delaware Court of Chancery will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Furiex Securities Litigation. In May 2014, four putative stockholder class actions were brought against Forest, Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex), and Furiexs board of directors. Two actions were brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the captions Steven Kollman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Donald Powell v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the Delaware Actions). Two actions were brought in North Carolina state court under the captions Walter Nakatsukasa v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Christopher Shinneman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the North Carolina Actions). These actions alleged, among other things, that the members of the Furiex Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Furiex for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process. These actions also alleged that Forest aided and abetted these alleged breaches. These actions sought class certification, to enjoin the proposed acquisition of Furiex, and an award of unspecified damages, attorneys fees, experts fees, and other costs. The Kollman and Nakatsukasa actions also sought recission of the acquisition and unspecified recissory damages if the acquisition was completed. On June 23, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Actions and the North Carolina Actions regarding a settlement of all four actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Furiex agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with us, which are contained in a Form DEFA14A filed June 23, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the North Carolina state court will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all four actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction and any disclosure made in connection therewith, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the North Carolina state court will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation Medical West Ballas Pharmacy, LTD, et al. v. Anda, Inc., (Circuit Court of the County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, Case No. 08SL-CC00257). In January 2008, Medical West Ballas Pharmacy, LTD, filed a putative class action complaint against Anda, Inc. (Anda), a subsidiary of the Company, alleging conversion and alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Missouri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. In April 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint substituting Anda as the defendant. The amended complaint alleges that by sending unsolicited
F-77
facsimile advertisements, Anda misappropriated the class members paper, toner, ink and employee time when they received the alleged unsolicited faxes, and that the alleged unsolicited facsimile advertisements were sent to the plaintiff in violation of the TCPA and Missouri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. The TCPA allows recovery of minimum statutory damages of $500 per violation, which can be trebled if the violations are found to be willful. The complaint seeks to assert class action claims on behalf of the plaintiff and other similarly situated third parties. In April 2008, Anda filed an answer to the amended complaint, denying the allegations. In November 2009, the court granted plaintiffs motion to expand the proposed class of plaintiffs from individuals for which Anda lacked evidence of express permission or an established business relationship to All persons who on or after four years prior to the filing of this action, were sent telephone facsimile messages advertising pharmaceutical drugs and products by or on behalf of Defendant. In November 2010, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint further expanding the definition and scope of the proposed class of plaintiffs. On December 2, 2010, Anda filed a motion to dismiss claims the plaintiff is seeking to assert on behalf of putative class members who expressly consented or agreed to receive faxes from Defendant, or in the alternative, to stay the court proceedings pending resolution of Andas petition to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (discussed below). On April 11, 2011, the court denied the motion. On May 19, 2011, the plaintiffs filed their motion seeking certification of a class of entities with Missouri telephone numbers who were sent Anda faxes for the period January 2004 through January 2008. The motion has been briefed. However, the court granted Andas motion to vacate the class certification hearing until similar issues are resolved in either or both the pending Nack litigation or with the FCC Petition, both of which are described in more detail below. No trial date has been set in the matter.
On May 1, 2012, an additional action under the TCPA was filed by Physicians Healthsource, Inc., purportedly on behalf of the end users of the fax numbers in the United States but outside Missouri to which faxes advertising pharmaceutical products for sale by Anda were sent. (Physicians Healthsource Inc. v. Anda Inc. S.D. Fla., Civ. No. 12-60798). On July 10, 2012, Anda filed its answer and affirmative defenses. The parties filed a joint motion to stay the action pending the resolution of the FCC Petition and the FCCs recently filed Public Notice, described below, which the court granted, staying the action for sixty days. On April 17, 2014 following the expiration of the sixty day period, the court lifted the stay but reentered it sua sponte on May 23, 2014.
Several issues raised in plaintiffs motion for class certification in the Medical West matter were addressed by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in an unrelated case to which Anda is not a party, Nack v. Walburg, No. 11-1460. Nack concerned whether there is a private right of action for failing to include any opt-out notice on faxes sent with express permission, contrary to a FCC regulation that requires such notice on fax advertisements. The Eighth Circuit granted Anda leave to file an amicus brief and to participate during oral argument in the matter, which was held on September 19, 2012. In its ruling, issued May 21, 2013, the Eighth Circuit held that Walburgs arguments on appeal amounted to challenges to the FCCs regulation and that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain such challenges pursuant to the Hobbs Act and it would otherwise not decide any similar challenges without the benefit of full participation by the FCC. The defendant in Nack has filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
In a related matter, on November 30, 2010, Anda filed a petition with the FCC, asking the FCC to clarify the statutory basis for its regulation requiring opt-out language on faxes sent with express permission of the recipient (the FCC Petition). On May 2, 2012, the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau of the FCC dismissed the FCC Petition. On May 14, 2012, Anda filed an application for review of the Bureaus dismissal by the full Commission, requesting the FCC to vacate the dismissal and grant the relief sought in the FCC Petition. The FCC has not ruled on the application for review. On June 27, 2013, Forest filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC requesting that the FCC find that (1) the faxes at issue in the action complied, or substantially complied with the FCC regulation, and thus did not violate it, or (2) the FCC regulation was not properly promulgated under the TCPA. On January 31, 2014, the FCC issued a Public Notice seeking comment on several other recently-filed petitions, all similar to the one Anda filed in 2010. Anda was one of several parties that submitted comments on the Public Notice. Anda believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the
F-78
putative class actions brought under the TCPA, and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In October 2012, Forest and certain of its affiliates were named as a defendant, along with The Peer Group, Inc. (TPG), in a putative class action brought by the St. Louis Heart Center (SLHC) under the caption St. Louis Heart Center, Inc. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and The Peer Group, Inc. The action is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On May 17, 2013, SLHC filed a Fourth Amended Complaint, alleging that Forest and TPG violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA), on behalf of a proposed class that includes all persons who, from four years prior to the filing of the action, were sent telephone facsimile messages of material advertising the commercial availability of any property, goods, or services by or on behalf of defendants, which did not display an opt-out notice compliant with a certain regulation promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Fourth Amended Complaint seeks $500 for each alleged violation of the TCPA, treble damages if the Court finds the violations to be willful, knowing or intentional, interest, and injunctive and other relief. On July 17, 2013, the district court granted Forests motion to stay the action pending the administrative proceeding initiated by the pending FCC Petitions, including any appeal therefrom. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Mezzion Declaratory Judgment Action. On April 8, 2014, Warner Chilcott Company, LLC filed a declaratory judgment action against Mezzion Pharma Co. Ltd. (Mezzion), a Korean pharmaceutical company formerly known as Dong-A PharmaTech Co. Ltd. (Warner Chilcott Company, LLC v. Mezzion Pharma Co. Ltd., N.Y. Sup. Ct., Case No. 14-651094). The suit was filed to protect Warner Chilcott Company, LLCs rights and interests under an exclusive license and distribution agreement, involving Mezzions product udenafil that is used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostate hyperplasia. The parties first executed the agreement in 2008 and later amended it 2010. On February 14, 2014, Mezzion sent a notice a breach letter to Warner Chilcott Company, LLC alleging that Warner Chilcott had failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the product for the U.S. and Canadian markets. In its notice letter, Mezzion threatened to terminate the exclusive license and distribution agreement as a result of Warner Chilcotts purported breaches. Warner Chilcott believes that it has not breached the agreement and will prevail in the declaratory judgment action. On June 2, 2014, Mezzion filed an answer and asserted counterclaims against the Company. The Company filed its answer to the counterclaims on July 14, 2014. The litigation is still in its early stages and the parties are beginning to work on discovery matters. The Company intends to pursue its claims against Mezzion and believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to Mezzions counterclaims and it intends to defend itself vigorously. Litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. However, this action, if unsuccessful, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Litigation. On June 26, 2012, the State of West Virginia filed a lawsuit against multiple distributors of prescription drugs, including Anda, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (State of West Virginia v. Amerisourcebergen Drug Corporation, et. al., Boone County Circuit Court Civil Case No. 12-C-141). The complaint generally alleges that the defendants distributed prescription drugs in West Virginia in violation of state statutes, regulation and common law. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages and penalties. On July 26, 2012, a co-defendant removed the case to the federal court for the Southern District of West Virginia. On March 27, 2013, the court granted plaintiffs motion to remand the case to state court. On January 3, 2014, plaintiff filed an amended complaint which the defendants moved to dismiss on February 14, 2014. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on June 5, 2014. The case is in its preliminary stages and the Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, an adverse determination in the case could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
F-79
Prescription Drug Abuse Litigation. On May 21, 2014, California counties Santa Clara and Orange filed a lawsuit on behalf of the State of California against several pharmaceutical manufacturers. Plaintiffs named Actavis plc in the suit. (The People of the State of California v. Purdue Pharam L.P., et al, CA Super. Ct., Civil Case No. 30-2014-00725287) (California Action). The California plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 9, 2014. On July 11, 2014, co-defendant Teva Pharmaceuticals removed the case to the federal court for the Central District of California (Civ. No. 14-1080). The California plaintiffs moved to remand the case to state court on August 11, 2014. Defendants filed an opposition to the remand motion on September 19, 2014. On June 2, 2014, the City of Chicago also filed a complaint against the same set of defendants, including Actavis plc, that were sued in the California Action. Co-defendants Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Endo Pharmaceuticals removed the City of Chicagos complaint to the federal court for the Northern District of Illinois (Civ. No. 14-4361). On June 16, 2014, the City of Chicago moved to have the case remanded to state court but later withdrew its remand motion. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on August 29, 2014. Both complaints allege that the manufacturer defendants engaged in a deceptive campaign to promote their products in violation of state and local laws. Each of the complaints seeks unspecified monetary damages and penalties and the California Action also seeks injunctive relief. The Company believes it has several meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, an adverse determination in these actions could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Employment Litigation
In July 2012, Forest and certain of its affiliates were named as defendants in an action brought by Megan Barrett, Lindsey Houser, Jennifer Jones, and Jennifer Seard, former Company Sales Representatives, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Megan Barrett et al. v. Forest Laboratories Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In November 2012, Plaintiffs amended the complaint, adding six additional plaintiffs: Kimberly Clinton, Erin Eckenrode, Julie Smyth, Marie Avila, Andrea Harley, and Christy Lowder, all of whom alleged that they were current or former Company Sales Representatives or Specialty Sales Representatives. In March 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding one additional plaintiff: Tracy Le, a now-former Company Sales Representative. The action is a putative class and collective action, and the Second Amended Complaint alleges class claims under Title VII for gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions, as well as discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, and a collective action claim under the Equal Pay Act. The proposed Title VII gender class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives (defined to include Territory Sales Representatives, Field Sales Representatives, Medical Sales Representatives, Professional Sales Representatives, Specialty Sales Representatives, Field Sales Trainers, and Regional Sales Trainers) employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment, and the proposed Title VII pregnancy sub-class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives who have been, are, or will become pregnant while employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment. The proposed Equal Pay Act collective action class includes current, former, and future female Sales Representatives who were not compensated equally to similarly-situated male employees during the applicable liability period. The Second Amended Complaint also includes non-class claims on behalf of certain of the named Plaintiffs for sexual harassment and retaliation under Title VII, and for violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act. We filed a motion to dismiss certain claims on April 29, 2013, which was argued on January 16, 2014. On August 14, 2014, the court issued a decision on the motion granting it in part and denying it in part, striking the plaintiffs proposed class definition and instead limiting the proposed class to a smaller set of potential class members and dismissing certain of the individual plaintiffs claims. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
FDA Litigation
In May 2002, Company subsidiary Watson Laboratories, Inc. reached an agreement with the FDA on the terms of a consent decree with respect to its Corona, California manufacturing facility. The court approved the consent decree on May 13, 2002 (United States of America v. Watson Laboratories, Inc., et. al., United States
F-80
District Court for the Central District of California, EDCV-02-412-VAP). The consent decree applies only to the Companys Corona, California facility and not other manufacturing sites. The decree requires that the Corona, California facility complies with the FDAs current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company hired an independent expert to conduct inspections of the Corona facility at least once each year. In February 2014 the independent expert concluded its most recent inspection of the Corona facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the independent expert reported its opinion to the FDA that, based on the findings of the audit of the facility, the FDAs applicable cGMP requirements, applicable FDA regulatory guidance, and the collective knowledge, education, qualifications and experience of the experts auditors and reviewers, the systems at the Corona facility audited and evaluated by the expert are in compliance with the FDAs cGMP regulations. However, the FDA is not required to accept or agree with the independent experts opinion. The FDA has conducted periodic inspections of the Corona facility since the entry of the consent decree, and concluded its most recent general cGMP inspection in April 2014. At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA inspectors issued a Form 483 to the facility identifying certain observations concerning the instances where the facility failed to follow cGMP regulations. The facility recently responded to the Form 483 observations. If in the future, the FDA determines that, with respect to its Corona facility, the Company has failed to comply with the consent decree or FDA regulations, including cGMPs, or has failed to adequately address the FDAs inspectional observations, the consent decree allows the FDA to order a variety of actions to remedy the deficiencies. These actions could include ceasing manufacturing and related operations at the Corona facility, and recalling affected products. Such actions, if taken by the FDA, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Patent Litigation
Patent Enforcement Matters
Actonel Once-a-Month. In August 2008, December 2008 and January 2009, Procter & Gambles global branded pharmaceutical business (PGP) and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (Roche) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries Teva), Sun Pharma Global, Inc. (Sun) and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (together Apotex), respectively, indicating that each such company had submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of the Actonel® 150 mg product (Actonel® OaM). The notice letters contended that Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent), a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to PGP with respect to Actonel® OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. PGP and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Teva in September 2008 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., Case No. 08-cv-627), Sun in January 2009 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Sun Pharma Global, Inc., Case No. 09-cv-061) and Apotex in March 2009 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Apotex Inc. et al., Case No. 09-cv-143) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 938 Patent. The lawsuits resulted in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of PGPs and Roches receipt of notice, subject to the prior resolution of the matters before the court. The stay of approval of each of Tevas, Suns and Apotexs ANDAs has expired, and the FDA has tentatively approved Tevas ANDA with respect to Actonel® OaM. However, none of the defendants challenged the validity of the underlying U.S. Patent No. 5,583,122 (the 122 Patent), which covers all of the Actonel® products, including Actonel® OaM, and did not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). As a result, the defendants were not permitted to market their proposed generic versions of Actonel® OaM prior to June 2014.
On February 24, 2010, Warner Chilcott and Roche received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Actonel® OaM. The notice letter contends that the 938 Patent, which expires in November 2023 and covers Actonel® OaM, is invalid and/or will not be infringed. Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a patent suit
F-81
against Mylan in April 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Mylan with infringement of the 938 Patent based on its proposed generic version of Actonel® OaM (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Mylan Pharms. Inc., Case No. 10-cv-285). The lawsuit resulted in a stay of FDA approval of Mylans ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts and Roches receipt of notice, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The stay of approval of Mylans ANDA has now expired. Mylan did not challenge the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which expired in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and covers all of the Actonel® products.
In October, November and December 2010 and February 2011, Warner Chilcott and Roche received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan, respectively, indicating that each such company had amended its existing ANDA covering generic versions of Actonel® OaM to include a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,718,634 (the 634 Patent). The notice letters contended that the 634 Patent, a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to Warner Chilcott with respect to Actonel® OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. Warner Chilcott and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Sun and Apotex in December 2010, against Teva in January 2011 and against Mylan in March 2011 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 634 Patent. No additional 30-month stay was available in these matters because the 634 Patent was listed in the FDAs Orange Book subsequent to the date on which Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan filed their respective ANDAs with respect to Actonel® OaM.
Warner Chilcott and Roches actions against Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan for infringement of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent arising from each such partys proposed generic version of Actonel® OaM were consolidated for all pretrial purposes (in Case No. 08-cv-627), and a consolidated trial for those suits was previously expected to be held in July 2012. Following an adverse ruling in Roches separate ongoing patent infringement suit before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey relating to its Boniva® product, in which the court held that claims of the 634 Patent covering a monthly dosing regimen using ibandronate were invalid as obvious, Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan filed a motion for summary judgment in Warner Chilcotts Actonel® OaM patent infringement litigation. In the motion, the defendants sought to invalidate the asserted claims of the 938 Patent and 634 Patent, which cover a monthly dosing regimen using risedronate, on similar grounds. The previously scheduled trial has been postponed pending resolution of the new summary judgment motion. A hearing on Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylans motions for summary judgment of invalidity and a separate motion by Warner Chilcott and Roche for summary judgment of infringement took place on December 14, 2012. On March 28, 2014, the district court granted the defendants motions for summary judgment that the 938 and 634 patents are invalid. Warner Chilcott and Roche intend to appeal the district courts decision, and on April 25, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a notice of appeal. On May 21, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the launch of generic Actonel OaM. On June 6, 2014, the court denied the motion for preliminary injunction. On June 10, 2014, FDA approved generic versions of Actonel OaM. On June 11, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied the Companys appeal of the District Courts preliminary injunction ruling. Warner Chilcott and Roche continue to appeal the District Courts summary judgment ruling. Certain generic manufacturers have launched their products notwithstanding this appeal.
To the extent that any other ANDA filer also submitted a Paragraph IV certification with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,165,513 covering Actonel® OaM, Warner Chilcott has not pursued an infringement action with respect to this patent. The Company also received a Notice Letter from Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. dated on or about June 12, 2014. A complaint was filed on July 28, 2014 before the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Warner Chilcott Company, LLC and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. v. Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. and Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., C.A. No. 14-cv-00990). While Warner Chilcott and Roche intend to vigorously defend the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent and protect their legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Actonel® OaM will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent in 2023 (including, in each case, a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
F-82
Amrix®. In August 2014, Aptalis Pharmatech, Inc. (Aptalis) and Ivax International GmbH (Ivax), Aptaliss licensee for Amrix, brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,790,199 (the 199 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,829,121 (the 121 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (collectively Apotex) (Case No. 14-cv-1038). Apotex has notified Aptalis that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Amrix before these patents expire. (The 199 and 121 patents expire in November 2023.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Apotexs ANDA until no earlier than December 27, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner, and subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity). No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Amrix. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Asacol HD. In September 2011, Warner Chilcott received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (together with its affiliates, Zydus) indicating that Zydus had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Asacol® 800 mg product (ASACOL HD). Zydus contends that Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent No. 6,893,662, expiring in November 2021 (the 662 Patent), is invalid and/or not infringed. In addition, Zydus indicated that it had submitted a Paragraph III certification with respect to Medeva Pharma Suisse AGs (Medeva) U.S. Patent No. 5,541,170 (the 170 Patent) and U.S. Patent No. 5,541,171 (the 171 Patent), formulation and method patents which the Company exclusively licenses from Medeva covering Warner Chilcotts ASACOL products, consenting to the delay of FDA approval of the ANDA product until the 170 Patent and the 171 Patent expire in July 2013. In November 2011, Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Zydus in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Zydus with infringement of the 662 Patent (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Zydus Pharms. (USA) Inc. et al., Case No. 1:2011cv01105). The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Zydus ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the Zydus notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. In January 2014 the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the case. Under the terms of the settlement, Zydus can launch its ANDA product in November 2015, or can launch an authorized generic version of Asacol HD in July 2016 if it fails to obtain FDA approval of its ANDA by such time. On June 9, 2014, Warner Chilcott announced that the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement incorporating the terms set forth above.
Atelvia. In August and October 2011 and March 2012, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Watson Laboratories, Inc. Florida (together with Actavis, Inc. (formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and its subsidiaries, Actavis), Teva and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (together with its affiliates, Ranbaxy) indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia® 35 mg tablets (Atelvia®). The notice letters contend that Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,459 (the 459 Patent) and 7,645,460 (the 460 Patent), two formulation and method patents expiring in January 2028, are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Actavis in October 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v. Watson Pharms., Inc. et al., Case No. 11-cv-5989), against Teva in November 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. et al., Case No. 11-cv-6936) and against Ranbaxy in April 2012 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v.Ranbaxy, Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-2474) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 459 Patent and 460 Patent. On August 21, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 8,246,989 (the 989 Patent), a formulation patent expiring in January 2026. The Company listed the 989 Patent in the FDAs Orange Book, each of Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy amended its Paragraph IV certification notice letter to contend that the 989 Patent is invalid and/or not infringed, and Warner Chilcott amended its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of such defendants original notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Company does not believe that the amendment of its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent will result in any additional 30-month stay. In addition, none of the ANDA filers certified against the 122 Patent, which covers all of the Actonel® and Atelvia® products and expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension
F-83
of regulatory exclusivity). On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. In September 2013, Warner Chilcott received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Impax Laboratories, Inc. indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia®. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Impax on October 23, 2013, asserting infringement of the 459, 460, and 989 patents. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Impaxs ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. On June 13, June 30, and July 15, 2014, the Company entered into settlement agreements with Ranbaxy, Amneal and Impax, respectively. Each agreement permits Ranbaxy, Amneal and Impax to launch generic versions of Atelvia® on July 9, 2025, or earlier in certain circumstances. Trial against Teva began on July 14, 2014 and concluded on July 18, 2014. The Court has not issued its decision.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 459 Patent, the 460 Patent, and the 989 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuit will be decided, whether such lawsuit will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Atelvia® will not be approved and enter the market prior to the July 9, 2025 settlement dates above.
Canasa®. In July 2013, Aptalis Pharma US, Inc. and Aptalis Pharma Canada Inc. brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,217,083 (the 083 patent) and U.S. Patent No. 8,436,051 (the 051 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Mylan (Aptalis Pharma US, Inc., et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., Case No. 13-cv-4158) and Sandoz (Aptalis Pharma US, Inc., et al. v. Sandoz, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-4290). These companies have notified Aptalis that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of CANASA before these patents expire. Amended complaints were filed against these companies in November 2013 adding claims for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,854,384 (the 384 patent). The 083, 051, and 384 patents expire in June 2028. Aptalis believes these ANDAs were filed before the patents covering Canasa were listed in the Orange Book, which generally means that Aptalis is not entitled to the 30-month stay of the approval of these ANDAs provided for by the Hatch-Waxman Act. The previously scheduled claim construction hearing set for August 27, 2014 has been postponed to an undetermined date. No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Canasa. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Enablex®. On December 18, 2013, Warner Chilcott Company LLC and Warner Chilcott (US) LLC sued Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Torrent Pharma Inc. (together Torrent) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Torrents darifenacin tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Enablex®, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,106,864 (the 864 patent) (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Torrent Pharms. Ltd, et al., Case No. 13cv02039). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to Torrent until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its ANDA filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation, subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity.
On June 6, 2014, Warner Chilcott Company LLC and Warner Chilcott (US) LLC sued Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC (together Amneal) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Amneals darifenacin tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Enablex®, would infringe the 864 patent (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al., Case No. 14cv00718). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to Amneal until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its ANDA filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation, subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity. On July 7, 2014, the Company settled with Torrent. The litigation against Amneal remains pending. The Company has also received a Notice Letter dated June 19, 2014 from Apotex Corp. et al. and an analogous complaint was filed (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Apotex Corp., et al., Case No. 14cv00998).
F-84
Under the settlement agreements entered into in the third quarter of 2010 to resolve outstanding patent litigation, each of Teva, Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson agreed not to launch a generic version of Enablex® until the earlier of March 15, 2016 (or June 15, 2016, if a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity is granted) or, among other circumstances, (i) the effective date of any license granted to a third party for a generic Enablex product or (ii) in the event a third party launches a generic Enablex® product at risk and injunctive relief is not sought or granted.
The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent Amneal and/or Apotex from launching a generic version of Enablex. However, if Amneal and/or Apotex prevails in the pending litigation or if Amneal and/or Apotex launches a generic version of Enablex® before the pending or any subsequent litigation is finally resolved, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Generess® Fe. On November 22, 2011, Warner Chilcott Company sued Mylan Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Famy Care Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol and ferrous fumarate tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Generess® Fe tablets (which is exclusively licensed by Warner Chilcott), would infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,667,050 (the 050 patent) (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Mylan Inc., et al., Case No. 11cv6844). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. On December 12, 2011 Warner Chilcott sued Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of Lupins generic version of Generess® Fe would infringe the 050 patent. (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Lupin Ltd., et al., Case No. 11cv7228). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Warner Chilcotts lawsuits against Mylan and Lupin have been consolidated and remain pending. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its abbreviated new drug application filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation. The trial concluded on February 21, 2014. On April 15, 2014 Warner Chilcott reached an agreement with Mylan to settle their case. Under the terms of the settlement, Mylan may launch its ANDA product on April 1, 2015, or Mylan can launch an authorized generic version of Generess on October 1, 2015. The litigation against Lupin is still pending. On April 29, 2014, the district court ruled that the 050 patent is invalid. Warner Chilcott has appealed the decision and the appeal is currently pending. The Company believes Warner Chilcott has meritorious claims on appeal. However, if Lupin prevails in the pending litigation or launches a generic version of Generess® Fe before the pending litigation is finally resolved or April 1, 2015, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Lo Loestrin® Fe. In July 2011 and April 2012, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Lupin and Actavis indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts oral contraceptive, Lo Loestrin® Fe. The notice letters contend that the 394 Patent and Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984 (the 984 Patent), which cover Lo Loestrin® Fe and expire in 2014 and 2029, respectively, are invalid and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Lupin in September 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Lupin Ltd. et al., Case No. 11-cv-5048) and against Actavis in May 2012 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Watson Labs., Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-2928) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 394 Patent and the 984 Patent. Warner Chilcott granted Lupin and Actavis covenants not to sue on the 394 Patent with regard to their ANDAs seeking approval for a generic version of Lo Loestrin® Fe, and the court dismissed all claims concerning the 394 Patent in the Lupin and the Actavis litigations in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of such defendants notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. On October 4, 2013, Amneal Pharmaceuticals was substituted for Actavis as a defendant. A joint trial began on October 7, 2013 and concluded on October 17, 2013. On January 17, 2014, the district court issued its decision that the 984 Patent is valid and infringed by Lupins and Amneals respective ANDAs. On January 21, 2014, Lupin filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Appeal No. CAFC 14-1262). The appeal is currently pending.
F-85
In September 2013, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan and Famy Care indicating that they had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts oral contraceptive, Lo Loestrin® Fe. The notice letter contends that Warner Chilcotts 984 Patent, which covers Lo Loestrin® Fe and expires in 2029, is invalid and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Mylan in October 2013 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Mylan Inc. et al., Case No. 13-cv-06560) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging Mylan and Famy Care with infringement of the 984 Patent. The complaint seeks injunctive relief. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Mylan and Famy Cares ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Mylan/Famy Care case is not consolidated with the Lupin case and is currently pending in the district court.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 984 Patent and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Lo Loestrin® Fe will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 984 Patent in 2029.
Minastrin® 24 Fe. On June 6, 2014, Warner Chilcott sued Lupin Atlantis Holdings SA, Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, Lupin) in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, alleging that sales of Lupins norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol chewable tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Minastrin® 24 Fe, would infringe U.S. Patent 6,667,050 (the 050 patent). The Complaint seeks an injunction. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its abbreviated new drug application filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation. Warner Chilcott further notes that FDA will not approve any ANDA product before May 8, 2016 due to Minastrin® 24 Fes new dosage form exclusivity, which expires on that date. The litigation against Lupin is pending. Warner Chilcott notes that on April 29, 2014, several of the claims of the 050 patent were declared invalid in the Generess litigation discussed above. Warner Chilcott has appealed the Generess decision and the appeal is currently pending. The Company believes Warner Chilcott has meritorious claims on appeal. However, if Lupin prevails in the Generess appeal, or in the instant litigation, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Namenda®. In June 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Merz Pharma, Forests licensor for Namenda (all collectively, Plaintiffs), brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. and Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. (collectively Aurobindo) (Case No. 14-cv-833). Aurobindo has notified Plaintiffs that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Namenda before the 703 patent expires. On or about June 16, 2014, the FDA informed Forest that pediatric exclusivity had been granted for studies conducted on memantine hydrochloride, the active ingredient of Namenda. (As a result, the 703 patent expires in October 2015.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Aurobindos ANDA until no later than the expiration of the 703 patent (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner, and subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity). No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Namenda. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Namenda XR®. In January, February, April, May and August 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Merz Pharma and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Forests licensors for Namenda XR (all collectively, Plaintiffs), brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,039,009 (the 009 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,168,209 (the 209 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,173,708 (the 708 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,283,379 (the 379 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,329,752 (the 752 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,362,085 (the 085 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,598,233 (the 233 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against
F-86
Wockhardt, Teva, and Sun (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-121), Apotex, Anchen, Zydus, Watson, and Par (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Apotex Corp., et al., Case No. 14-cv-200), Mylan, Amneal, and Amerigen (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al., Case No. 14-cv-508), Ranbaxy (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Ranbaxy Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-686), and Lupin (Forest Laboratories, LLC, et al. v. Lupin Limited, et al., Case No. 14-cv-1058), and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Plaintiffs that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Namenda XR before these certain patents expire. On or about June 16, 2014, the FDA informed Forest that pediatric exclusivity had been granted for studies conducted on memantine hydrochloride, the active ingredient of Namenda XR. (As a result, the 703 patent expires in October 2015, the 009 patent expires in September 2029, and the 209, 708, 379, 752, 085, and 233 patents expire in May 2026.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs that expires no earlier than June 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Plaintiffs sooner). On June 11, 2014, Mylan filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, which Plaintiffs opposed on June 30, 2014. Mylans motion remains pending. No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Namenda XR. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Rapaflo®. On June 17, 2013, Actavis, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. sued Hetero USA Inc., Hetero Labs Limited, and Hetero Labs Limited, Unit 3 (collectively, Hetero) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of silodosin tablets, a generic version of Actavis Rapaflo® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,387,603 (the 603 patent) (Kissei Pharm. Co., Ltd. et al v. Hetero USA Inc. et al., Case No. 13cv01091). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. On June 17, 2013 Actavis, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. sued Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Sandozs generic version of Rapaflo® would infringe the 603 patent. (Kissei Pharm. Co., Ltd. et al v. Sandoz, Inc., Case No. 13cv01092). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Actavis and Kisseis lawsuits against Hetero and Sandoz have been consolidated and remain pending. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants prior to April 8, 2016. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Rapaflo. However, if a generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation or launches a generic version of Rapaflo before the pending litigation is finally resolved, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Saphris®. In September 2014, Forest Laboratories, LLC, and Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,763,476 (the 476 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,741,358 (the 358 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Sigmapharm Laboratories, LLC (Sigmapharm) (Case No. 14-cv-1119). Sigmapharm has notified Forest that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Saphris before these patents expire. (The 476 patent expires in June 2020, and the 358 patent expires in April 2026.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Sigmapharms ANDA until February 13, 2017 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner). The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Saphris. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched. The Company has also received a notice letter from a second ANDA filer and that notice is currently under review.
Savella®. In September, October, and November 2013, and February 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Royalty Pharma Collection Trust (Royalty), Forests licensor for Savella, brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,602,911 (the 911 patent), U.S. Patent No. 7,888,342 (the 342 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,994,220 (the 220 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Amneal (Case No. 13-cv-1737), Apotex (Case No. 13-cv-1602), First Time US Generics (Case No. 13-cv-1642), Glenmark (Case No. 14-cv-159), Hetero (Case No. 13-cv-1603), Lupin (Case No. 13-cv-1604), Mylan (Case No. 13-cv-1605), Par (Case No. 13-cv-1606), Ranbaxy (Case No. 13-cv-1607), Sandoz (Case No. 13-cv-1830), and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have
F-87
notified Forest and Royalty that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Savella before these patents expire. (The 342 patent expires in November 2021, the 911 patent expires in January 2023, and the 220 patent expires in September 2029.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs until July 14, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest and Royalty Pharma sooner). On March 7, 2014, Forest and Royalty voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, all claims against Sandoz. On March 20, 2014, the district court consolidated all of the remaining pending actions for all purposes and issued a scheduling order setting a claim construction hearing in December 2015 and a trial date in January 2016. On May 12, 2014, Forest and Royalty entered into a settlement agreement with First Time US Generics. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to review of the settlement terms by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Forest will provide a license to First Time that will permit it to launch its generic version of Savella as of the date that is the later of (a) six (6) calendar months prior to the expiration date of the last to expire of the 911 patent, the 342 patent, and the 220 patent, including any extensions and/or pediatric exclusivities; or (b) the date that First Time obtains final FDA approval of its ANDA, or earlier in certain circumstances. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Savella. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Patent Defense Matters
Bayer Patent Litigation. In August 2012, Bayer Pharma AG (together with its affiliates, Bayer) filed a complaint against Warner Chilcott in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Warner Chilcotts manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of its Lo Loestrin® Fe oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. 5,980,940 (Bayer Intellectual Property GMBH et al. v. Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al., Case No. 12-cv-1032). In the complaint, Bayer seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. In December 2012, Bayer amended the complaint to add a patent interference claim seeking to invalidate the Companys 984 Patent, which covers the Lo Loestrin® Fe product. In June 2014, a claim construction hearing was held before the Court, and the Parties are awaiting the Courts conclusions.
Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, the Company believes that it has a number of strong defenses to the allegations in the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the litigations. These cases are in the early stages of litigation, and an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
Ibandronate Tablets (Generic version of Boniva®). On September 21, 2007, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. sued Cobalt Laboratories, Inc. and Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc. (both of which were subsequently acquired by Watson in 2009) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of Ibandronate Tablets, a generic version of Hoffmann-La Roches Boniva® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 4,927,814 (the 814 Patent); 6,294,196 (the 196 Patent); and 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent) (Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al., Case No. 07cv4540). The complaint sought damages and injunctive relief. Thereafter, Hoffmann-La Roche asserted additional claims, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,410,957 (the 957 Patent) and 7,718,634 (the 634 patent) against Cobalt, and the parties entered into stipulations to dismiss Hoffman-La Roches claims related to the 196 and the 938 Patent. On August 24, 2010, the District Court granted Hoffmann-La Roches motion for summary judgment that Cobalt would infringe at least one claim of the 814 patent. On March 17, 2012, the 814 patent expired, leaving the 957 and 634 patents as the only patents in suit. On May 7, 2012, the District Court granted the Companys motion for summary judgment that certain claims of the 634 patent are invalid. In June 2012, the Company began selling its generic version of Boniva®. On October 1, 2012, the District Court granted Cobalts motion for summary judgment that certain claims of the 957 patent are invalid. On January 25, 2013 the District Court denied Plaintiffs motion for reconsideration of the summary judgment decisions finding the 634 patent and 957 patent claims invalid. The plaintiff appealed. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the appeal on December 6, 2012. On April 11, 2014, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district courts decision that the 957 and 634 patents are invalid. On May 12, 214, Hoffman- La Roche filed a petition for rehearing, and the defendants responded on June 10, 2014.
F-88
On July 11, 2014, the Court of Appeals denied the petition for rehearing. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, the Company has sold and is continuing to sell its generic version of Boniva®. Therefore, an adverse final appellate determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Oxymorphone Extended-Release Tablets (Generic version of Opana® ER). On December 11, 2012, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo) sued Actavis and certain of its affiliates in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that sales of the Companys 7.5 mg and 15 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets, generic versions of Endos Opana® ER, infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,851,482; 8,309,122; and 8,329,216, which the USPTO recently issued or Endo recently acquired (Endo Pharms. Inc. v. Actavis Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-8985). On July 11, 2013, the FDA approved Actavis 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets. On August 6, 2013, Endo filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to prevent Actavis from selling its 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets. On September 12, 2013, the Court denied Endos motion for a preliminary injunction and Actavis began selling its generic versions of Opana® ER. On September 17, 2013, Endo filed a motion for an injunction pending appeal, which the Federal Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied on November 21, 2013. On January 9, 2014, the Federal Circuit heard oral arguments on Endos appeal of the district courts denial of the motion for a preliminary injunction. On March 31, 2014, the Federal Circuit reversed the district courts denial of Endos motion for a preliminary injunction and remanded the matter to the district court for further consideration. Trial in this matter will begin in Mach 2015. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, Actavis has sold and is continuing to sell its generic versions of Opana® ER, 5mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg and 40 mg. Therefore, an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Teva Namenda XR Patent Litigation. In December 2013, Forest Laboratories, Inc. (Forest) was named as a defendant in an action brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al. v. Forest Laboratories, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-2002). The complaint alleges that Forest infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing Namenda XR. The relief requested includes preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and damages. On June 11, 2014, Forest filed a motion for judgment of non-infringement on the pleadings, which remains pending. The district court has scheduled a claim construction hearing in June 2015, and trial to begin in July 2016. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Tranexamic Acid Tablets (Generic version of Lysteda®). On July 7, 2011, Ferring B.V. sued Watson in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, alleging that sales of the Companys tranexamic acid tablets, a generic version of Ferrings Lysteda® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,947,739 (the 739 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:11-cv-00481). On November 25, 2011, Ferring filed a second complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,022,106 (the 106 patent). (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:11-cv-00853). On November 9, 2012, Ferring filed a third complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,273,795 (the 795 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 2:12-cv-01935). The District Court has consolidated all three cases. On January 3, 2013, Actavis began selling its generic version of Lysteda®. On September 6, 2013, Ferring filed a fourth complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,487,005 (the 005 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Actavis, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:13-cv-00477). The fourth complaint also seeks damages for the alleged infringement of the 739, 106, 759, and 005 patents by Actavis sales of its generic version of Lysteda®. The fourth case has not been consolidated with the first three cases, and Actavis has filed a motion to dismiss that action. On July 23,
F-89
2014, the District Court granted Actaviss motion to dismiss Ferrings damages claims with respect to the 739, 106, and 795 patents, but denied Actaviss motion to dismiss the 005 patent claims. Trial regarding the 739, 106 and 759 patents began on January 21, 2014, and on January 30, 2014, the Judge tentatively ruled that the 739, 106 and 759 patents are valid and infringed by Watsons ANDA product. On April 15, 2014, the district court entered judgment that Actaviss products infringe the 739, 106 and 759 patents and entered an injunction preventing the Company from further sales. On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a notice of appeal. On April 16, 2014, the Company filed a motion to stay the injunction pending appeal in the Federal Circuit. On April 28, 2014, the Federal Circuit granted the motion to stay the district courts injunction pending appeal. On August 22, 2014, the Federal Circuit reversed the District Courts decision, holding that Actaviss products do not infringe the 739, 106 and 759 patents and vacated the injunction. On September 22, 2014 Ferring filed a petition for rehearing with the Federal Circuit. That petition is currently pending. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, Actavis has sold and is continuing to sell its generic version of Lysteda®. Therefore, an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Product Liability Litigation
Actonel Litigation. Warner Chilcott is a defendant in approximately 218 cases and a potential defendant with respect to approximately 377 unfiled claims involving a total of approximately 603 plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs relating to Warner Chilcotts bisphosphonate prescription drug Actonel®. The claimants allege, among other things, that Actonel® caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare but serious condition that involves severe loss or destruction of the jawbone, and/or atypical fractures of the femur (AFF). All of the cases have been filed in either federal or state courts in the United States. Warner Chilcott is in the initial stages of discovery in these litigations. The 377 unfiled claims involve potential plaintiffs that have agreed, pursuant to a tolling agreement, to postpone the filing of their claims against Warner Chilcott in exchange for Warner Chilcotts agreement to suspend the statutes of limitations relating to their potential claims. In addition, Warner Chilcott is aware of four purported product liability class actions that were brought against Warner Chilcott in provincial courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that Actonel® caused the plaintiffs and the proposed class members who ingested Actonel® to suffer atypical fractures or other side effects. It is expected that these plaintiffs will seek class certification. Of the approximately 607 total Actonel®-related claims, approximately 77 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 513 include AFF-related claims and approximately four include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. In some of the cases, manufacturers of other bisphosphonate products are also named as defendants. Plaintiffs have typically asked for unspecified monetary and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys fees. Warner Chilcott is reviewing these lawsuits and potential claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously.
Sanofi, which co-promoted Actonel® with Warner Chilcott in the United States through the end of 2013 pursuant to a collaboration agreement, is a defendant in some of Warner Chilcotts Actonel® product liability cases. Sanofi and Warner Chilcott continue to co-promote Actonel® in other countries pursuant to the collaboration agreement. Under the collaboration agreement, Sanofi has agreed to indemnify Warner Chilcott, subject to certain limitations, for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in Canada relating to Actonel® and for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to Actonel® brought prior to April 1, 2010, which included approximately 90 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries that were pending as of March 31, 2010. Pursuant to the April 2010 amendment to the collaboration agreement, Warner Chilcott will be fully responsible for any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to Actonel® brought on or after April 1, 2010. Warner Chilcott may be liable for product liability, warranty or similar claims in relation to products acquired from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) in October 2009 in connection with Warner Chilcotts acquisition (the PGP Acquisition) of P&Gs global branded pharmaceuticals business (PGP), including ONJ-related claims that were pending as of the closing of the PGP Acquisition. Warner Chilcotts agreement with P&G provides that P&G will indemnify Warner Chilcott, subject to certain limits, for 50% of Warner Chilcotts losses from any such claims, including approximately 88 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries, pending as of October 30, 2009.
F-90
In May 2013, Warner Chilcott entered into a settlement agreement in respect of up to 74 ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. Warner Chilcott recorded a charge in the six months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $2.0 million in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies in connection with Warner Chilcotts entry into the settlement agreement. This charge represents Warner Chilcotts current estimate of the aggregate amount that is probable to be paid by Warner Chilcott in connection with the settlement agreement. In September 2013, Warner Chilcott entered into a separate settlement agreement in respect of up to 53 additional ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. Assuming that all of the relevant claimants accept the settlement agreements, approximately 561 Actonel®-related claims would remain outstanding, of which approximately 31 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 513 include AFF-related claims and approximately four include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty (i) the number of such individual claimants that will accept the settlement agreement or (ii) the outcome of any litigation with claimants rejecting the settlement or other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other Actonel®-related claims, and the Company can offer no assurance as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to proceedings with (i) claimants rejecting the settlement or (ii) other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other Actonel®-related claims is not possible at this time. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and Warner Chilcott maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Alendronate Litigation. Beginning in 2010, a number of product liability suits were filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of alendronate, for personal injuries including femur fractures and ONJ allegedly arising out of the use of alendronate. Approximately 136 cases are pending against Watson and/or its affiliates in various state and federal courts, representing claims by approximately 180 plaintiffs. These cases are generally at their preliminary stages. Fifty-three lawsuits also name as a defendant Cobalt Laboratories, which Watson acquired in 2009 as part of its acquisition of the Arrow Group, in connection with Cobalts manufacture and sale of alendronate. Twenty cases naming the Company and/or Cobalt were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings as part of a multi-district litigation (MDL) matter pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (In re: Fosamax (Alendronate Sodium) Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2243). In 2012, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the Companys motion to dismiss all of the cases then pending against the Company in the New Jersey MDL. The Third Circuit affirmed. Any cases filed against the Company in the District of New Jersey MDL after the Courts January 2012 dismissal are subject to a case management order that calls for their dismissal unless plaintiffs can establish that their claims should be exempted from the 2012 dismissal order. To date, no plaintiff with a post-January 2012 complaint in the District of New Jersey against the Company has moved for such exemption and all such cases have been dismissed. Eleven other cases were part of an MDL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the Company filed a similar motion to dismiss. The Court granted, in part, that motion to dismiss, which has resulted in the dismissal of eight cases. Watson and/or Cobalt have also been served with nine cases that are part of consolidated litigation in the California Superior Court (Orange County). The Orange County Court partially granted a similar motion to dismiss, but the Company has not yet been able to determine how that will affect the cases filed against and served on it. Generic drug manufacturers similarly situated to the Company have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the California decision. All cases pending in the state court of Missouri have been discontinued against the Company. The remaining 124 active cases are part of a mass tort coordinated proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County. In that state court proceeding, the Court recently granted, in part, a motion to dismiss. As a result, the Company has obtained the stipulated dismissal of 295 cases. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or insurance do not provide sufficient coverage
F-91
against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Benicar ® Litigation. Approximately 14 actions involve allegations that Benicar®, a treatment for hypertension that Forest co-promoted with Daiichi Sankyo between 2002 and 2008, caused certain gastrointestinal injuries. Under Forests Co-Promotion Agreement, Daiichi Sankyo is defending us in these lawsuits.
Celexa ®/Lexapro® Litigation. Forest and its affiliates are defendants in 13 actions involving allegations that Celexa® or Lexapro® caused or contributed to individuals committing or attempting suicide, or caused a violent event. The MDL that was established for the federal suicidality-related litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has concluded and the remaining cases have been remanded to the federal district courts in which they were filed originally. Nine trials have been scheduled in these actions in 2014 and 2015.
Approximately 188 of the actions against Forest and its affiliates involve allegations that Celexa® or Lexapro® caused various birth defects. The majority of these actions have been consolidated in Cole County Circuit Court in Missouri. One action is set for trial in Cole County in April 2015. Multiple actions also were filed in New Jersey. At present, two actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and nine actions are or will be pending in Hudson County, New Jersey. One action is pending in Orange County, California and is set for trial in March 2015.
Fentanyl Transdermal System Litigation. Beginning in 2009, a number of product liability suits were filed against Actavis and other Company affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of fentanyl transdermal system products, for personal injuries or deaths allegedly arising out of the use of the fentanyl transdermal system products. Actavis settled the majority of these cases in November 2012. Since that time, additional cases have been resolved individually and/or are in the process of being resolved. There are approximately four cases that remain pending against the Company in state and federal courts that have not been resolved. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Metoclopramide Litigation. Beginning in 2009, a number of product liability suits were filed against certain Company affiliates, including legacy Actavis and Watson companies, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of metoclopramide, for personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of metoclopramide. Approximately 1,180 cases remain pending against Actavis, Watson and/or its affiliates in state and federal courts, representing claims by multiple plaintiffs. Discovery in these cases is in the preliminary stages as the Company is actively moving to dismiss the suits and either initiating or defending appeals on such motions. The Company believes that, with respect to the majority of the cases against the legacy Watson companies, it will be defended in and indemnified by Pliva, Inc., an affiliate of Teva, from whom the Company purchased its metoclopramide product line in late 2008. With respect to the cases pending against the legacy Actavis companies, the Company is actively defending them. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or insurance do not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Propoxyphene Litigation. Beginning in 2011, a number of product liability suits were filed against Watson and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of propoxyphene, for personal injuries including adverse cardiovascular events or deaths allegedly arising out of the use of propoxyphene. Cases are
F-92
pending against Watson and/or its affiliates in various state and federal courts, representing claims by approximately 1,385 plaintiffs. Approximately 77 of the cases naming Watson were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings as part of a multi-district litigation (MDL) matter pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky (In re: Darvocet, Darvon, and Propoxyphene Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2226). Four of the MDL cases were voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs with prejudice. On June 22, 2012, the court hearing the MDL cases granted the generic defendants joint motion to dismiss the remaining MDL cases. Approximately 34 of the dismissed cases were appealed by the plaintiffs to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On June 27, 2014, the Sixth Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Courts dismissal of the generic defendants in all respects. It is anticipated that the plaintiffs will seek further review by the United States Supreme Court. They have 90 days from the issuance of the Sixth Circuits decision within which to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. In addition to the 77 consolidated cases, the MDL court remanded seven additional cases to California state court. Defendants jointly filed a petition with the Sixth Circuit to appeal that remand, which petition was denied, as was the subsequently filed petition for rehearing on the petition to appeal. The Sixth Circuits Order denying Defendants petition for rehearing was recently vacated due to the Ninth Circuits granting of a petition for en banc rehearing on the same issue. The Ninth Circuit case involves remand by a federal court in California to state court in a propoxyphene case involving the same defendants. The Sixth Circuit has now stayed these 7 cases pending the ruling of the Ninth Circuit on the issue. Approximately 35 of the cases naming Watson or its affiliates have been consolidated in a state court proceeding pending in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles. After the consolidation, the defendants jointly removed all of the cases to various US District Courts in California after which counsel for the plaintiffs moved to remand the cases back to state court. The various US district Court Judges granted the motions. The defendants jointly appealed the remand of these cases to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the granting of the motions to remand. The defendants then jointly petitioned the Ninth Circuit for an en banc rehearing of the defendants appeal. The Ninth Circuit recently granted the defendants Petition and oral argument was heard on June 26, 2014. Depending on the Ninth Circuits ruling, these cases will either be sent back to the MDL court (which is expected to dismiss them on the same basis on which it dismissed the other cases against the generic defendants) or they will be remanded to the California state court to be litigated in that forum. If the cases return to state court, they will be in their preliminary stages and we intend to file demurrers and/or motions to dismiss. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Testosterone Litigation. Beginning in 2014, a number of product liability suits were filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of testosterone products, for personal injuries including but not limited to cardiovascular events allegedly arising out of the use of Androderm®. Actavis, Inc. and one or more of its subsidiaries have been served in 13 currently pending actions, twelve in federal court and one in state court. On June 6, 2014 the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered all federal actions claiming injury from testosterone products be consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (In re Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2545). Accordingly, the aforementioned federal actions have been consolidated into MDL 2545. The Company anticipates that additional suits will be filed. These cases are in the initial stages and discovery has not yet commenced. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Zarah Litigation. A number of product liability suits, eight (8) in total, are pending against the Company and/or certain of its affiliates as well as other manufacturers and distributors of oral contraceptive products for
F-93
personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of the generic oral contraceptive, Zarah®. All of the actions are consolidated in the Yaz/Yasmin Multidistrict Litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The injuries alleged include, but are not limited to, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis, and gallbladder disease. These cases are in the initial stages and discovery has not yet commenced. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Qui Tam and Related Litigation
Governmental Investigation and False Claims Act Litigation. Beginning in February 2012, Warner Chilcott, along with several of its current and former employees in its sales organization and certain third parties, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena received by Warner Chilcott seeks information and documentation relating to a wide range of matters, including sales and marketing activities, payments to people who are in a position to recommend drugs, medical education, consultancies, prior authorization processes, clinical trials, off-label use and employee training (including with respect to laws and regulations concerning off-label information and physician remuneration), in each case relating to all of Warner Chilcotts current key products. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena but cannot predict or determine the impact of this inquiry on its future financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is aware of three qui tam complaints filed by former Warner Chilcott sales representatives and unsealed in February and March 2013 and March 2014 (United States ex rel. Lisa A. Alexander and James P. Goan. v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., D. Mass. No. 11-10545 and United States et al. ex rel. Chris Wible, v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., D. Mass. No. 11-11143; People of the State of California ex rel. Schirrell Johnson, Lisa A. Alexander and James P. Goan v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., CA Super. Ct., Case No. BC496620-MHS). The unsealed federal qui tam complaints allege that Warner Chilcott violated Federal and state false claims acts through the promotion of all of Warner Chilcotts current key products by, among other things, making improper claims concerning the products, providing kickbacks to physicians and engaging in improper conduct concerning prior authorizations. The complaints seek, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties of up to eleven thousand dollars for each alleged false claim and attorneys fees and costs. Other similar complaints may exist under seal. The United States of America has elected not to intervene at this time in the unsealed Alexander/Goan or Wible qui tam actions, stating at the times of the relevant seal expirations that its investigation of the allegations raised in the relevant complaint was continuing and, as such, it was not able to decide at such time whether to intervene in the action. The United States of America may later seek to intervene, and its election does not prevent the plaintiffs/relators from litigating the actions. The government has, however, successfully moved the court in the Alexander and Goan litigation to stay that proceeding through December 1, 2014. On December 2, 2013, plaintiff in the Wible action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with respect to all of its claims except his for retaliation and claims under CA and IL state law. Warner Chilcott moved to dismiss the remaining cause of action in this Wible complaint on December 20, 2013. While the Companys motion was pending, the plaintiff in Wible moved for leave to file a third amended complaint which the court granted thus rendering the Companys motion to dismiss moot. The Company and the plaintiff in Wible have reached an agreement to settle the matter. The State of California declined to intervene in the recently unsealed Johnson/Alexander/Goan qui tam action. Warner Chilcott removed the Johnson/Alexander/Goan case to the federal court for the Central District of California (Civ. No. 14-3249). On May 30, 2014, Warner Chilcott filed a motion to dismiss the Johnson/Alexander/Goan complaint. Rather than respond to the motion, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 8, 2014. Warner Chilcotts response to the amended complaint was filed on September 12, 2014. Warner Chilcott intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigations. However, these cases are in the early stages of litigation, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether Warner Chilcott will be successful in its
F-94
defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Forest received a subpoena dated August 5, 2013 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Bystolic®, Savella®, and Namenda®, including with respect to speaker programs for these products. In February 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Kurt Kroening et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in April 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Bystolic® and Savella® and kickbacks provided to physicians to induce prescriptions of Bystolic®, Savella®, and Viibryd®. In January 2014, the Eastern District of Wisconsin U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it had not completed its investigation and therefore would not intervene in the action at that time (while reserving the right to intervene at a later date). We are continuing to cooperate with this investigation and to discuss these issues with the government. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In April 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Timothy Leysock v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in July 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Namenda®. An Amended Complaint was filed in October 2012 and a Second Amended Complaint was filed in April 2014. On April 16, 2014, the District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it was declining to intervene in the action. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. We filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 30, 2014. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Government Investigations
Forest and its affiliates received a subpoena dated April 20, 2011 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena requests documents relating to Benicar®, Benicar HCT®, and Azor®, prescription medications approved for the treatment of hypertension. Forest co-marketed Benicar® and Benicar® HCT from 2002 to 2008, and Azor® from 2007 to 2008, together with the drugs originator Sankyo under co-promotion agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
Forest received a subpoena dated May 6, 2013 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Tudorza Pressair, including with respect to speaker programs for this product. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
On February 20, 2014, Forest received a letter from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicating that the FTC is conducting a nonpublic investigation into our agreements with the ANDA filers for Bystolic®. On May 2, 2014, Forest received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC requesting documents regarding such agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the investigation.
On February 28, 2014, May 7, 2014, and May 29, 2014, Forest received Investigatory Subpoenas from the New York Attorney Generals Office primarily requesting (1) information regarding plans to discontinue the sale of Namenda® tablets and (2) the Companys agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic®. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.

On September 12, 2104, Actavis received an investigatory subpoena from the Office of the U.S. Attorney of the District of South Carolina. The subpoena requests information and documents relating to certain categories of drug pricing including, but not limited to, Average Wholesale Price and Wholesale Acquisition Cost. The company intends to cooperate with this subpoena.
Paroxetine Investigation. On April 19, 2013, the Office of Fair Trading issued a Statement of Objections against GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and various generic drug companies, including Actavis UK Limited, formerly known as Alpharma Limited, now a subsidiary of the Company, alleging that GSKs settlements with such generic drug companies improperly delayed generic entry of paroxetine, in violation of the United Kingdoms competition laws. The Company has not yet responded to the Statement of Objections but believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the allegations. However, an adverse determination in the matter could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Governmental Reimbursement Investigations and Drug Pricing Litigation. In November 1999, Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc., now known as Actavis Pharma, Inc. was informed by the U.S. Department of Justice that it, along with numerous other pharmaceutical companies, is a defendant in a qui tam action brought in 1995 under the U.S. False Claims Act currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the Florida Qui Tam Action). The Company has not been served in the qui tam action. A qui tam action is a civil lawsuit brought by an individual or a company (the qui tam relator) for an alleged violation of a federal statute, in which the U.S. Department of Justice has the right to intervene and take over the prosecution of the lawsuit at its option. Pursuant to applicable federal law, the qui tam action is under seal as to Actavis, Inc. The Company believes that the qui tam action relates to whether allegedly improper price reporting by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to increased payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid. The Company believes that the Florida Qui Tam Action against the Company was dismissed without prejudice while still sealed as to the Company. Subsequently, the Company also received and responded to notices or subpoenas from the Attorneys General of various states, including Florida, Nevada, New York, California and Texas, relating to pharmaceutical pricing issues and whether allegedly improper actions by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to excessive payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid. On June 26, 2003, the Company received a request for records and information from the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce in connection with that committees investigation into pharmaceutical reimbursements and rebates under Medicaid. The Company produced documents in response to the request. Other state and federal inquiries regarding pricing and reimbursement issues are anticipated.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also are named as defendants in various lawsuits filed by numerous states and qui tam relators, including Wisconsin, Kentucky, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Utah, Kansas and Louisiana captioned as follows: State of Wisconsin v. Abbott Laboratories, et al., Case No. 04-cv-1709, Wisconsin Circuit Court for Dane County; State of Wisconsin, ex rel., et al. v. Actavis Mid Atlantic LLC, et al., Case No. 11-cv-5544, Wisconsin Circuit Court for Dane County; Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Alpharma, Inc., et al., Case Number 04-CI-1487, Kentucky Circuit Court for Franklin County; State of Illinois v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 05-CH-02474, Illinois Circuit Court for Cook County; State of Mississippi v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. G2005-2021 S/2, Mississippi Chancery Court of Hinds County; State of Missouri ex rel. Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon v. Mylan Laboratories, et al, Case No. 054-2486, Missouri Circuit Court of St. Louis; State of South Carolina and Henry D. McMaster v. Watson Pharmaceuticals (New Jersey), Inc., In the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, State of South Carolina, County of Richland, C.A. No. 2006-CP-40-7152; State of South Carolina and Henry D. McMaster v. Watson Pharmaceuticals (New Jersey), Inc., In the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, State of South Carolina, County of Richland, C.A. No. 2006-CP-40-7155; State of Utah v. Actavis U.S., Inc., et al., In the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, Civil No. 07-0913719; State of Kansas ex rel. Steve Six v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Pharma, Inc., Case Number: 08CV2228, District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, Civil Court Department; and State of Louisiana V. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., et al., Case No. 596144, Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District.
In 2011, Watson settled certain claims made against it by a relator in a qui tam action brought against the Company on behalf of the United States. The settlement of that qui tam action resolved all claims on behalf of
F-96
the United States asserted in that action except for claims relating to the federal share of Medicaid payments made by the States of Alabama, Alaska, Kentucky, Idaho, Illinois, South Carolina and Wisconsin. The Company subsequently settled all claims, including the claims on behalf of the United States, brought by Alabama. In addition, the Company has reached settlements with the states of the Louisiana, Missouri and Kansas and has an agreement in principle with the state of South Carolina though the Company has yet to reach definitive agreement with that state. The court in the Utah case recently dismissed that states claims against the Company. The case against Watson on behalf of Kentucky was tried in November 2011. The jury reached a verdict in Watsons favor on each of Kentuckys claims against Watson. An agreed form of judgment has been entered and the case now has been dismissed with prejudice. The case against Watson on behalf of Mississippi was tried from November 2012 through April 2013. On August 28, 2013, the court issued a ruling in favor of the state and awarded the state $12.4 million in compensatory damages and civil penalties, and on March 20, 2014 issued its ruling imposing an additional $17.9 million in punitive damages. Post-trial motions were filed and denied by the court. The Company intends to appeal both the original and punitive damage awards.
In addition, Forest and certain of its affiliates are defendants in four state court actions that allege that the plaintiffs (all governmental entities) were overcharged for their share of Medicaid drug reimbursement costs as a result of reporting by manufacturers of average wholesale prices (AWP) that did not correspond to actual provider costs of prescription drugs. These actions are pending in Illinois (commenced February 7, 2005), Mississippi (commenced October 20, 2005), Utah (commenced May 2008), and Wisconsin (a qui tam AWP action commenced by the former Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin on February 20, 2012 that the State declined to join). Discovery is ongoing in these actions. On November 15, 2013, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action moved for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. On March 26, 2014, the Mississippi state court granted plaintiffs motion in part, but denied plaintiffs request to add generic drug products to its claims. Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint. On May 21, 2014, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action filed a separate complaint asserting claims against Forest with respect to the pricing of its generic drugs, and Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of these claims. A trial in the Mississippi action is scheduled in August 2015. A motion to dismiss the Utah action was granted, but the Utah Supreme Court, while upholding the lower courts ruling regarding a statute of limitations issue, reversed that ruling and allowed the plaintiff to replead. The plaintiff filed another Amended Complaint, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This motion to dismiss was denied in part, and discovery is proceeding. On February 17, 2014, the Wisconsin state court granted defendants motion to dismiss plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. On April 14, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint, and on May 16, 2014, plaintiff filed an appeal of the courts February 17, 2014 ruling. On June 12, 2014, the court denied plaintiffs motion to file a Third Amended Complaint and dismissed the case without prejudice. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
With regard to the remaining drug pricing actions, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself in those actions. The Company continually monitors the status of these actions and may settle or otherwise resolve some or all of these matters on terms that the Company deems to be in its best interests. However, the Company can give no assurance that it will be able to settle the remaining actions on terms it deems reasonable, or that such settlements or adverse judgments in the remaining actions, if entered, will not exceed the amounts of the liability reserves. Additional actions by other states, cities and/or counties are anticipated. These actions and/or the actions described above, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Medicaid Drug Reimbursement Litigation. In December 2009, the Company learned that numerous pharmaceutical companies, including certain subsidiaries of the Company, were named as defendants in a qui tam action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (United States of America ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et. al., USDC Case No. 02-CV-11738-NG). The seventh amended complaint, which was served on certain of the Companys subsidiaries in December 2009, alleges that
F-97
the defendants falsely reported to the United States that certain pharmaceutical products were eligible for Medicaid reimbursement and thereby allegedly caused false claims for payment to be made through the Medicaid program. In July 2011, the plaintiff served a tenth amended complaint that unseals the action in its entirety and continues to allege the previously asserted claims against certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Companys subsidiaries named in the action together with all other named defendants filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss the Tenth Amended Complaint on December 9, 2011. On February 25, 2013, the court granted the motion to dismiss as to all defendants. The plaintiff may appeal. On September 11, 2013, a similar action was filed against certain Company subsidiaries as well as Warner Chilcott and numerous other pharmaceutical company defendants by the State of Louisiana based on the same core set of allegations as asserted in the Conrad qui tam action. The state filed the case in state court and defendants removed it to the federal district court (Civ. No. 13-0681). On September 9, 2014, the magistrate judge in the case issued a report recommending that the case be remanded to state court. Plaintiffs motion to remand the case back to state court is still pending. Additional actions alleging similar claims could be asserted. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend itself against such allegations. However, these actions or similar actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Medicaid Price Adjustments
The Company has notified the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that certain of the legacy Actavis groups Medicaid price submissions require adjustment for the period 2007 through 2012. The Company is in the process of completing the resubmissions. Based on prevailing CMS practices the Company does not expect to incur penalties in connection with the resubmissions. With respect to periods prior to 2007, the Company has advised CMS that its records are insufficient to support a reliable recalculation of its price submissions, and has proposed not to recalculate the price submissions for such periods. Because there are insufficient records to support a reliable recalculation of its price submissions prior to 2007, at this time the amount of any potential liability related to the price submissions prior to 2007 is not estimatable and the Company has not concluded that any liability for periods prior to 2007 is probable. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious positions and defenses with respect to these pricing resubmission matters. However, if CMS were to successfully pursue claims against the Company for the periods in question, such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company and its affiliates are involved in various other disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquires, investigations and proceedings that could result in litigation, and other litigation matters that arise from time to time. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

NOTE 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following are interim updates to certain of the policies described in Note 3 of the notes to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in this prospectus.
Revenue Recognition Including Multiple-Element Arrangements
General
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds, the sellers price to the buyer to be fixed or determinable and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, billback adjustments, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee for service arrangements with certain distributors, which we refer to in the aggregate as SRA allowances.
Royalty and commission revenue is recognized as a component of net revenues in accordance with the terms of their respective contractual agreements when collectability is reasonably assured and when revenue can be reasonably measured.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
The Company identifies each discrete deliverable included in a multiple-element arrangement and identifies which of those deliverables have standalone value to the customer under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements (ASC 605-25) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Deliverable Revenue (ASU No. 2009-13). The Company allocates arrangement consideration to the deliverables based on the appropriate selling price using the hierarchy outlined in ASC 605-25, as amended by ASU No. 2009-13. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. BESP is determined in a manner consistent with that used to establish the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. Revenue is recognized for each unit of accounting based on the relevant authoritative literature for that deliverable.
Contingency-Adjusted Performance Model
Revenues recognized from research, development and licensing agreements (including milestone receipts) are recorded on the contingency-adjusted performance model which requires deferral of revenue until such
F-115
time as contract milestone requirements have been met. Under this model, revenue related to each payment is recognized over the entire contract performance period, starting with the contracts commencement, but not prior to earning and/or receiving the milestone amount (i.e., removal of any contingency). The amount of revenue recognized is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated cost to be incurred. In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In order to recognize milestone consideration as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, there needs to be substantive certainty that the milestone will be achieved, relate solely to past performance and the consideration needs to be commensurate with the Companys performance. Factors the Company considers in determining whether a milestone is substantive at the inception of an arrangement include: whether substantive effort will be required to achieve the milestone; what labor, skill, and other costs will be incurred to achieve the milestone; how certain the achievement of the milestone is; whether a reasonable amount of time will elapse between any upfront payment and the first milestone as well as between each successive milestone; and, whether the milestone is nonrefundable or contains clawback provisions.
Provisions for SRAs
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When the Company recognizes gross revenue from the sale of products, an estimate of SRA is recorded, which reduces the gross product revenues. Accounts receivable and/or accrued liabilities are also reduced and/or increased by the SRA amount. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical relationship of the deductions to gross product revenues, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract sales terms with direct and indirect customers. The estimation process used to determine our SRA provision has been applied on a consistent basis and no material revenue adjustments have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. The Company uses a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of the SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated. This includes periodic reviews of customer inventory data, customer contract programs and product pricing trends to analyze and validate the SRA reserves.
ChargebacksA chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesalers customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Companys chargeback payments. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is fairly stated.
RebatesRebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally offered to customers as an incentive to use the Companys products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third party rebates is estimated based on our customers contracted rebate programs and the Companys historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states / authorities, contractual terms, as well as government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.
F-116
Cash DiscountsCash discounts are provided to customers that pay within a specific period. The provision for cash discounts is estimated based upon invoice billings, utilizing historical customer payment experience. The Companys experience of payment history is fairly consistent and most customer payments qualify for the cash discount. Accordingly, our reserve for cash discounts is readily determinable.
Returns and Other AllowancesThe Companys provision for returns and other allowances include returns, pricing adjustments, promotional allowances, loyalty cards and billback adjustments.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Companys policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Companys estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.
Pricing adjustments, which includes shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued to reflect price decreases in selling prices charged to the Companys direct customers. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product our customers have in their inventory at the time of an agreed-upon price reduction. The provision for shelf stock adjustments is based upon specific terms with the Companys direct customers and includes estimates of existing customer inventory levels based upon their historical purchasing patterns. We regularly monitor all price changes to evaluate the Companys reserve balances. The adequacy of these reserves is readily determinable as pricing adjustments and shelf stock adjustments are negotiated and settled on a customer-by-customer basis.
Promotional allowances are credits that are issued in connection with a product launch or as an incentive for customers to carry our product. The Company establishes a reserve for promotional allowances based upon contractual terms.
Billback adjustments are credits that are issued to certain customers who purchase directly from us as well as indirectly through a wholesaler. These credits are issued in the event there is a difference between the customers direct and indirect contract price. The provision for billbacks is estimated based upon historical purchasing patterns of qualified customers who purchase product directly from us and supplement their purchases indirectly through our wholesale customers.
Loyalty cards allow the end user patients a discount per prescription and is accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.
Net revenues and accounts receivable balances in the Companys consolidated financial statements are presented net of SRA estimates. SRA balances in accounts receivable were $1,358.7 million and $1,254.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. SRA balances in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $668.3 million and $719.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The provisions recorded to reduce gross product sales to net product sales were as follows:

F-117
The decrease in the SRA deductions as a percentage of gross product sales primarily relates to the increase in branded sales versus the prior year periods, which generally have lower rebate percentages, offset, in part, by a shift in U.S. generics sales whereby a higher portion of sales are going through the wholesale channel, which has the impact of raising the rebate percentages. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company lowered SRA balances relating to the valuation of assets and liabilities as part of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition measurement period adjustment by $56.6 million, with an offset to goodwill ($36.8 million) and deferred tax liabilities ($19.8 million).
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite-Lives
We test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite-lives for impairment annually at the end of the second quarter by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units as determined by a five year cash-flow forecast with a terminal value, to the respective carrying value of the reporting units. Additionally, we may perform tests between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. During the second quarter of 2014, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill, IPR&D intangible assets and trade name intangibles assets with indefinite-lives. The Company utilized discount rates for its reporting units ranging from 7.5% to 9.5% and long-term growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 4.5% in its estimation of fair value. The factors used in evaluating goodwill for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management. Changes in the key assumptions by management can change the results of testing. The Company determined there was no impairment associated with goodwill or trade name intangible assets. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $16.3 million impairment related to IPR&D for select projects as the Company decided to no longer invest in these IPR&D projects.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income and this could result in a material reduction in net income / (loss) and earnings per share. During the 2013 integration of the Actavis Group with the Watson business, the Company reorganized its organizational structure and management performance reporting, which was then further reorganized in January of 2014. In 2013, the reporting units within our Pharma operating segment were organized as follows: Americas (The United States of America (U.S.), Canada, Latin America), Europe (Europe, Russia, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Turkey), and MEAAP (Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia Pacific). These reporting units combined the Watson and Actavis Group businesses. The combination of the Watson and the Actavis Group business and net assets in the European reporting unit, combined with other market factors, led to the impairment of the goodwill associated with this reporting unit in the second quarter of 2013.
During the second quarter of 2013, concurrent with the availability of discrete financial information for the then new reporting units, we completed an extensive review of our operating businesses, including exploring options for addressing overall profitability of seven Western European commercial operations consisting of, among other things, restructuring their operations, refocusing their activities on specific sub-markets, as well as potential divestitures of such businesses to other third parties. The potential impact of these conditions were considered in our projections when determining the indicated fair value of our reporting units for the impairment tests that were performed during the second quarter of 2013. Upon completion of step one of the impairment analysis for each of our reporting units, it was concluded the fair value of the PharmaEurope reporting unit was below its carrying value including goodwill. This was primarily related to the integration of our Arrow Group (acquired on December 2, 2009, in exchange for cash consideration of $1.05 billion, approximately 16.9 million shares of the Companys Restricted Ordinary Shares and 200,000 shares of the Companys Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock and certain contingent consideration (the Arrow Group Acquisition)) with the Actavis Group in Europe. The fair value of our reporting units was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using managements business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows for approximately five years and residual growth rates ranging from 2% to 4% thereafter. Management believes that
F-118
the assumptions it used for the impairment tests performed were consistent with those that would be utilized by a market participant in performing similar valuations of our reporting units. A separate discount rate was utilized for each reporting unit that was derived from published sources and, on a weighted average basis, a discount rate of 8% was utilized using our weighted average cost of capital, which considered the overall inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return a market participant would expect. As a result of completing step two of our impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment of the PharmaEurope reporting unit of $647.5 million, representing primarily all the goodwill allocated to this reporting unit, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. Additionally, the Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need to record a liability for contingencies on a case-by-case basis in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (ASC 450). Accruals are recorded when the Company determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. Acquired contingencies in business combinations are recorded at fair value to the extent determinable, otherwise in accordance ASC 450. Refer to NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies for more information.
R&D Activities
R&D activities are expensed as incurred and consist of self-funded R&D costs, the costs associated with work performed under collaborative R&D agreements, regulatory fees, and milestone payments, if any. R&D expenses include direct and allocated expenses. On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Amgen, Inc. (Amgen) to develop and commercialize, on a worldwide basis, several oncology antibody biosimilar medicines. Amgen has assumed primary responsibility for developing, manufacturing and initially commercializing the oncology antibody products. As of June 30, 2014, the Companys maximum potential remaining co-development obligation under this agreement was $282.2 million.
Restructuring Costs
The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, employee severance costs are accrued when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Refer to NOTE 16Business Restructuring Charges for more information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The issuance of these documents completes the joint effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue RecognitionConstruction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g.,
F-119
assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU.
The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on future financial positions and results of operations.
NOTE 3Acquisitions and Other Agreements
The following are interim updates to certain acquisition and other agreements described in Note 4 of the notes to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Annual Report, which are expected to, or have had, a material impact on the financial results of the Company as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Forest Laboratories

On May 1, 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire the worldwide rights to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.s (Valeant) metronidazole 1.3% vaginal gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, which is being accounted for as a business combination. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired the product upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on March 25, 2014 for acquisition accounting consideration of approximately $62.3 million, which included the fair value contingent consideration of $50.3 million and upfront and milestone payments of $12.0 million, of which $9.0 million was incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Acquisition of Warner Chilcott
On October 1, 2013, Warner Chilcott plc, the Companys direct parent, was acquired by Actavis plc as part of the Warner Chilcott Acquisition in a stock for stock transaction for a value, including the assumption of debt, of $9.2 billion. Warner Chilcott plc as a stand-alone entity was a leading specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the womens healthcare, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America. The Warner Chilcott Acquisition expands our presence in specialty brands. Warner Chilcotts financial results included in this report do not include the financial results of Warner Chilcott as a stand-alone entity for any of the periods or at any of the dates presented prior to October 1, 2013. As a result of the transaction, Warner Chilcott Limited became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis plc.
Recognition and Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value
The Warner Chilcott Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received updated information regarding estimated rebates and returns recorded as of the acquisition date. While finalizing acquisition accounting, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment relating to SRAs which impacted current liabilities, goodwill and deferred taxes by $56.6 million, $36.8 million and $19.8 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Consideration
The total consideration for the Warner Chilcott Acquisition of $5,833.9 million is comprised of the equity value of shares that were outstanding and vested prior to October 1, 2013 ($5,761.3 million) and the portion of outstanding equity awards deemed to have been earned as of October 1, 2013 ($72.6 million). The portion deemed not to have been earned ($77.4 million) as of October 1, 2013 will be expensed over the remaining future vesting period, including $5.0 million and $45.4 million relating to Warner Chilcott restructuring charges recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of inventories of $408.3 million. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $84.9 million, $209.5 million and $173.5 million, respectively, as a component of cost of sales as the inventory acquired on October 1, 2013 was sold to the Companys customers. Included in finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2014 was $25.3 million relating to the remaining fair value step-up associated with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition.
Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the Company, as though the Warner Chilcott Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance, the impact of the debt assumed, acquisition costs and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair valuation of assets acquired and the related tax effects.

Acquisition-Related Expenses
Included in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are integration and restructuring charges of $7.2 million and $19.6 million, respectively, including stock-based compensation of $5.0 million incurred in connection with the Warner Chilcott Acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Acquisition of Uteron Pharma, SA
On January 23, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Uteron Pharma, SA for approximately $142.0 million in cash, plus the assumption of debt and other liabilities of $7.7 million and up to $155.0 million in potential future milestone payments, of which $43.4 million was recognized on the date of acquisition (the Uteron Acquisition). The acquisition expanded the Companys specialty brands pipeline of Womens Health products including two potential near term commercial opportunities in contraception and infertility, and one oral contraceptive project. Several additional products in earlier stages of development were also acquired in the Uteron Acquisition.
Contingent Consideration and IPR&D
Additional consideration is conditionally due to the seller upon the achievement of certain milestones in respect to the development and commercialization of the products as well as reaching certain sales targets. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $43.4 million using a probability weighting approach that considered the possible outcomes based on assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch date, discount rates matched to the timing of first payment, and probability of success rates and discount adjustments on the related cash flows.
At March 31, 2014, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $38.2 million, of which $22.8 million related specifically to IPR&D related to a project named Estelle and $1.5 million related to IPR&D for Colvir. Estelle is a novel natural estrogen-based 28 day cycle oral contraceptive for the prevention of pregnancy. At June 30, 2014, after an identified triggering event, the acquired IPR&D intangible asset of $13.1 million was deemed to be fully impaired. Consequently, the $22.8 million contingent liability related to Estelle was written off, resulting in a net gain of $9.7 million. Colvir is a treatment of premalignant Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) lesions of the uterine. At June 30, 2014, after an identified triggering event, the acquired IPR&D intangible asset of $2.0 million was deemed to be fully impaired. Consequently the $1.5 million contingent liability was also written off, resulting in a net loss of $0.5 million.
Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the Uteron Acquisition was not material.
Acquisition of Actavis Group
On October 31, 2012, we completed the Actavis Group Acquisition. Actavis Group was a privately held generic pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of generic pharmaceuticals.
The Company funded the cash portion of the transaction through a combination of term loan borrowings and senior unsecured notes. For additional information, refer to Note 10Long-Term Debt.
Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of inventories of approximately $137.3 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized the remaining $93.5 million as a component of cost of sales as the inventory acquired was sold to the Companys customers.
F-124
Contingent Consideration
At December 31, 2012, the Company estimated the Actavis Group earn-out to be 3.85 million shares of Actavis plc, or $329.2 million, which was recognized on the date of acquisition. On March 28, 2013, based on further evaluation, the decision was made to award the remaining 1.65 million contingent shares of Actavis plc. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an expense of $150.3 million for contingent consideration as a result of the decision to award all remaining contingent shares.

NOTE 4Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards made to employees and directors based on the grant date fair value of the awards. A summary of the Companys share-based compensation plans is presented below.
Equity Award Plans
Actavis plc, the groups parent, has adopted several equity award plans, all of which have been approved by the Actavis plc shareholders, which authorize the granting of options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and other forms of equity awards of the Companys parent ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions. Effective October 1, 2013, the Company recognizes the applicable expense for the employees receiving the award, while Actavis plc recognizes the equity issuance.
Option award plans require options to be granted at the fair value of the shares underlying the options at the date of the grant and generally become exercisable over periods ranging from three to five years. Each option granted expires ten years from the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Actavis plc issued 225,000 stock options with an aggregate fair value of $4.9 million. The grant date fair value of options was based on a Black-Scholes grant date fair value of $21.63 per option. Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to ordinary shares, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock unit awards are grants that entitle the holder the right to receive an ordinary share, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (both time-based vesting and performance-based vesting) generally have restrictions eliminated over a one to four year vesting period. Restrictions generally lapse for non-employee directors after one year. Certain restricted stock units are performance-based awards issued at a target number with the actual number of restricted shares issued ranging based on achievement of the performance criteria.
Fair Value Assumptions
The Company, through the groups parent Actavis plc, has granted equity-based incentives to its employees comprised of non-qualified options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. All restricted stock and restricted stock units (whether time-based vesting or performance-based vesting), are granted and expensed, using the closing market price per share on the applicable grant date, over the applicable vesting period. Non-qualified
F-127
options to purchase ordinary shares are granted to employees at exercise prices per share equal to the closing market price per share on the date of grant. The fair value of non-qualified options is determined on the applicable grant dates using the Black-Scholes method of valuation and that amount is recognized as an expense over the four year vesting period.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $14.5 million and $13.8 million (including a de minimis amount of non-equity settled awards), respectively. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $31.2 million and $26.3 million (including a de minimis amount of non-equity settled awards), respectively. Unrecognized future stock-based compensation expense was $93.0 million as of June 30, 2014. This amount will be recognized as an expense over a remaining weighted average period of 3.3 years. Stock-based compensation is being amortized and charged to operations over the same period as the restrictions are eliminated for the participants, which is generally on a straight-line basis. As a result of completion of the Forest Merger, the Company will also have unrecognized future stock-based compensation expense resulting from the acquisition accounting treatment of the outstanding Forest equity awards on July 1, 2014.

NOTE 5Reportable Segments
The Company reported its business into two operating segments: Actavis Pharma and Anda Distribution. The Pharma segment includes patent-protected products and certain trademarked off-patent products that the Company sells and markets as brand pharmaceutical products and off-patent pharmaceutical products that are therapeutically equivalent to proprietary products. The Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by the Company, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. The Anda Distribution segment operating results exclude sales of products developed, acquired, or licensed by the Pharma segment.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2014, as a result of the Forest Acquisition, the Company realigned its organizational structure. Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014, the Company will be operated and managed as three distinct operating segments: North American Brands, North American Generics and International and Anda Distribution.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for Pharma and Anda Distribution represents segment net revenues less cost of sales (excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles including product rights), selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. The Company does not report total assets, capital expenditures, R&D, amortization, goodwill impairments and asset sales, impairments and contingent consideration adjustment, net by segment as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, nor has such information been used by all segments. R&D related to our Pharma segment was $158.0 million and $329.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Within R&D, $124.3 million and $238.2 million was generic development, $9.4 million and $42.6 million was invested in brand development and $24.3 million and $48.7 million was invested in biosimilar development during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Segment net revenues, segment operating expenses and segment contribution information for the Companys Pharma and Anda Distribution segments consisted of the following for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 ($ in millions):

The following items had a material impact on net product rights and other intangibles in the six months ended June 30, 2014:
| On March 25, 2014, upon FDA approval, the Company acquired metronidazole 1.3% vaginal gel antibiotic, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, from Valeant and recognized an intangible asset of $61.8 million. |
| On April 1, 2014, the Company acquired intangible assets in connection with the Silom acquisition of $64.0 million, including $52.6 million related to product rights and other related intangibles and $11.4 million of acquired IPR&D. |
| On April 17, 2014, the Company acquired product rights and other intangibles of $16.1 million in connection with the Akorn Acquisition. |
| On May 20, 2014, the Company acquired IPR&D of $24.9 million in connection with the May 2014 Acquisition. |
| During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the acquired IPR&D relating to the Estelle and Colvir projects acquired in the Uteron Acquisition of $15.1 million was deemed to be fully impaired. |
Assuming no additions, disposals or adjustments are made to the carrying values and/or useful lives of the intangible assets, annual amortization expense on product rights as of June 30, 2014 over the remainder of 2014 and each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in millions):
Amount | ||||
2014 (remaining) |
$ | 794.5 | ||

2017 |
$ | 610.3 | ||
2018 |
$ | 511.3 | ||
2019 |
$ | 395.2 |
The above amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts may change from such estimated amounts due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, additional intangible asset acquisitions, finalization of preliminary fair value estimates, potential impairments, accelerated amortization or other events.

NOTE 12Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 33.8% compared to (13.5)% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was
F-139
impacted by income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the Bermuda statutory rate, losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is provided, and the amortization of the step-up in inventory tax benefited at a lower rate than the Bermuda statutory rate. This was partially offset by the amortization of intangibles tax benefited at a higher rate than the Bermuda statutory rate. Additionally, the tax provision included a benefit of $9.7 million related to certain changes in the Companys uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by certain one-time non-deductible pre-tax expenses including a goodwill impairment charge of $647.5 million and a charge for consideration due to the former Actavis stakeholders of $150.3 million. This was partially offset by non-taxable pre-tax income of $15.0 million related to the Arrow Acquisition.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, it files U.S. federal, state, and non-U.S. tax returns. The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company believes it has appropriately accrued for open tax matters, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is more or less than that reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations between tax authorities, identification of new issues and issuance of new legislation, regulations, or case law. Management believes that appropriate amounts of tax and related penalty and interest have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these uncertain tax positions.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2008. For the Companys 2008-2009 tax years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has agreed on all issues except the timing of the deductibility of certain litigation costs. The IRS has begun the examination of the Companys 2010-2011 tax years in the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, the IRS is examining the 2009-2011 tax returns for Actavis pre-acquisition U.S. business.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company settled Warner Chilcotts U.S. federal tax audit for the 2008-2009 tax years with the IRS. Further, the IRS has indicated that it will commence an audit of the 2010-2011 tax years before the end of 2014. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the Company has accrued for amounts it believes are the likely outcomes at this time.
NOTE 13Members Equity

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)
For most of the Companys international operations, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the
F-140
average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive income / (loss). The effects of converting non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 14Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Companys revenue, earnings, cash flows and fair value of its assets and liabilities can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange risks and interest rates, as applicable. The Company manages the impact of foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements through operational means and through the use of various financial instruments, including derivative instruments such as foreign currency contracts.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
As a result of the acquisition of the Actavis Group on October 31, 2012, the Companys exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations has increased. The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate volatility in anticipated foreign currency cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily associated with non-functional currency denominated revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries. The foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014 have settlement dates within 12 months. The effect of the derivative contracts was a loss of $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The effect of the derivative contracts was a gain of $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The forward contracts are classified in the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other assets or accounts payable and accrued expenses, as applicable.
The foreign currency forward contracts to buy Euros and sell Russian Rubles at June 30, 2014 were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 15Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair values determined based on Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined based on Level 2 inputs utilize observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and observable quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not very active. Fair values determined based on Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable inputs and include valuations of assets or liabilities for which there is little, if any, market activity. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the above hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following (in millions):

Marketable securities and investments consist of available-for-sale investments in U.S. treasury and agency securities and publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily available. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities and investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, charges / (income) of $7.2 million and ($28.2) million have been included in cost of sales and R&D, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, charges/ (income) of $7.5 million and ($35.4) million have been included in cost of sales and R&D, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, charges of $0.3 million and $0.7 million have been included in cost of sales and R&D, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, charges of $0.7 million and $0.7 million have been included in cost of sales and R&D, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $50.3 million in connection with the acquisition of metronidazole 1.3% vaginal gel antibiotic from Valeant and $17.1 million plus milestones in connection with the May 2014 Acquisition. The Company recorded fair value adjustments of contingent consideration of $22.8 million related specifically to IPR&D related to a project named Estelle and $1.5 million related to IPR&D for Colvir. Estelle is a novel natural estrogen-based 28 day cycle oral contraceptive for the prevention of pregnancy. At June 30, 2014, the acquired IPR&D intangible asset of $13.1 million was deemed to be fully impaired. Consequently the $22.8 million contingent liability was written off, resulting in a net gain of $9.7 million. Colvir is a treatment of premalignant Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) lesions of the uterine cervix. At June 30, 2014, the acquired IPR&D intangible asset of $2.0 million was deemed to be fully impaired. Consequently the $1.5 million contingent liability was written off, resulting in a net loss of $0.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company transferred to level 1 the contingent obligation for the Actavis Group earn-out ($335.8 million). The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $43.4 million and $144.8 million in connection with the Uteron Acquisition and the license agreement entered into with Medicines360, respectively, offset in part, by contingent payments made to the Arrow Group selling shareholders based on the after-tax gross profits on sales of atorvastatin within the U.S.

NOTE 17Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Actavis plc and its affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Companys general practice is to expense legal fees as services are rendered in connection with legal matters, and to accrue for liabilities when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.
We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that is accrued. As of June 30, 2014, our consolidated balance sheet includes accrued loss contingencies of approximately $210.0 million.
Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to mass tort actions and class actions with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including, but not limited to, qui tam actions, antitrust, product liability, breach of contract, securities, patent infringement and trade practices), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, some matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or
F-145
development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss. In those proceedings in which plaintiffs do request publicly quantified amounts of relief, we do not believe that the quantified amounts are meaningful because they are merely stated jurisdictional limits, exaggerated and/or unsupported by the evidence or applicable burdens of proof.
Antitrust Litigation
Actos® Litigation. On December 31, 2013 two putative class actions were filed in the federal district court (United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltc. Et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 13-9244 and Crosby Tugs LLC v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 13-9250) against Actavis plc and certain of its affiliates alleging that Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s (Watson now known as Actavis, Inc.) 2010 patent lawsuit settlement with Takeda Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. related to Actos® (pioglitazone hydrochloride and metformin Actos®) is unlawful. Several additional complaints have been filed (Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-0116; International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health & Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-0644; A.F. of L.A.G.C. Building Trades Welfare Plan v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1493; NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1661; Painters District Council No. 30 Health and Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., N.D.Ill. Civ. No. 14-1601; City of Providence v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 14-125; Minnesota and North Dakota Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Health Fund and Greater Metropolitan Hotel Employers-Employees Health and Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1691; Local 17 Hospitality Benefit Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-1788; New England Electrical Workers Benefit Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., S.D.N.Y. Civ. No. 14-2424; Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 178 Health & Welfare Trust Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Civ. No. 14-2378; Dennis Kreish v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., Civ. No. 14-2137; Man-U Service Contract Trust Fund and Teamsters Union Local 115 Health & Welfare Fund v. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., et al., Civ. No. 14-2846). The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. Prior to the filing of the Painters District Council and City of Providence complaints, plaintiffs in the cases pending in federal court in New York filed a consolidated class action complaint. Plaintiffs in the Painters District Council and City of Providence cases subsequently voluntarily dismissed their complaints in Illinois and Rhode Island, respectively, and refiled their complaints in the Southern District of New York where all the cases have been referred to the same judge. Plaintiffs then filed a consolidated, amended complaint on May 20, 2014 (In re Actos End-Payor Antitrust Litigation, Civ. No. 13-9244). The amended complaint, asserted on behalf of a putative class of indirect purchaser plaintiffs, generally alleges an overall scheme that included Watson improperly delaying the launch of its generic version of Actos® in exchange for substantial payments from Takeda in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on July 11, 2014. Rather than oppose the motions to dismiss, plaintiffs amended their complaint on August 22, 2014. Defendants have until October 10, 2014 to respond to the newly amended complaint.
The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Androgel® Litigation. On January 29, 2009, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the State of California filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Federal Trade Commission, et. al. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., USDC Case No. CV 09-00598) alleging that the September 2006 patent lawsuit settlement between Watson and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Solvay), related
F-146
to AndroGel® 1% (testosterone gel) CIII is unlawful. The complaint generally alleged that Watson improperly delayed its launch of a generic version of Androgel® in exchange for Solvays agreement to permit Watson to co-promote Androgel® for consideration in excess of the fair value of the services provided by Watson, in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint sought equitable relief and civil penalties. On February 2 and 3, 2009, three separate lawsuits alleging similar claims were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by various private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly situated claimants (Meijer, Inc., et. al., v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., USDC Case No. EDCV 09-0215); (Rochester Drug Co-Operative, Inc. v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al., Case No. EDCV 09-0226); (Louisiana Wholesale Drug Co. Inc. v. Unimed Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al, Case No. EDCV 09-0228). On April 8, 2009, the Court transferred the government and private cases to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On April 21, 2009 the State of California voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Watson without prejudice. The Federal Trade Commission and the private plaintiffs in the Northern District of Georgia filed amended complaints on May 28, 2009. The private plaintiffs amended their complaints to include allegations concerning conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, conduct in connection with the listing of Solvays patent in the FDA Orange Book, and sham litigation. Additional actions alleging similar claims have been filed in various courts by other private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly situated direct or indirect purchasers of Androgel® (Stephen L. LaFrance Pharm., Inc. d/b/a SAJ Dist. v. Unimed Pharms., Inc., et al., D. NJ Civ. No. 09-1507); (Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Unimed Pharms. Inc., et al., D. NJ Civ. No. 09-1856); (Scurto v. Unimed Pharms., Inc., et al., D. NJ Civ. No. 09-1900); (United Food and Commercial Workers Unions and Employers Midwest Health Benefits Fund v. Unimed Pharms., Inc., et al., D. MN Civ. No. 09-1168); (Rite Aid Corp. et al. v. Unimed Pharms., Inc. et al., M.D. PA Civ. No. 09-1153); (Walgreen Co., et al. v. Unimed Pharms., LLC, et al., MD. PA Civ. No. 09-1240); (Supervalu, Inc. v. Unimed Pharms., LLC, et al, ND. GA Civ. No. 10-1024); (LeGrand v. Unimed Pharms., Inc., et al., ND. GA Civ. No. 10-2883); (Jabos Pharmacy Inc. v. Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Cocke County, TN Circuit Court Case No. 31,837). On April 20, 2009, Watson was dismissed without prejudice from the Stephen L. LaFrance action pending in the District of New Jersey. On October 5, 2009, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all actions then pending outside of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to that district for consolidated pre-trial proceedings (In re: AndroGel® Antitrust Litigation (No. II), MDL Docket No. 2084), and all currently-pending related actions are presently before that court. On February 22, 2010, the judge presiding over all the consolidated litigations related to Androgel® then pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted Watsons motions to dismiss the complaints, except the portion of the private plaintiffs complaints that include allegations concerning sham litigation. Final judgment in favor of the defendants was entered in the Federal Trade Commissions action on April 21, 2010. On April 25, 2012, the Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal. On June 17, 2013, the Supreme Court issued a decision, holding that the settlements between brand and generic drug companies which include a payment from the brand company to the generic competitor must be evaluated under a rule of reason standard of review and ordered the case remanded (the Supreme Court Androgel Decision). On July 20, 2010, the plaintiff in the Fraternal Order of Police action filed an amended complaint adding allegations concerning conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, conduct in connection with the listing of Solvays patent in the FDAs Orange Book, and sham litigation similar to the claims raised in the direct purchaser actions. On October 28, 2010, the judge presiding over MDL 2084 entered an order pursuant to which the LeGrand action, filed on September 10, 2010, was consolidated for pretrial purposes with the other indirect purchaser class action as part of MDL 2084 and made subject to the Courts February 22, 2010 order on the motion to dismiss. In February 2012, the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs and the defendants filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and on June 22, 2012, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs, including Fraternal Order of Police, LeGrand and HealthNet, filed a motion for leave to amend and consolidate their complaints. On September 28, 2012, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on all outstanding claims. The plaintiffs then appealed. On September 12 and 13, 2013, respectively, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs and direct purchaser plaintiffs filed motions with the district court, asking the court for an indicative ruling that it would vacate its final order on the parties summary judgment motions and conduct further proceedings in light of the Supreme Court Androgel Decision, should the Court of Appeals remand the case to the district court. On October 23, 2013, the district court granted the motions. The
F-147
court of appeals remanded the case back to the district court which has granted plaintiffs relief under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, vacating the ruling from which plaintiffs appealed. On August 5, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 15, 2014.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cipro® Litigation. Beginning in July 2000, a number of suits were filed against Watson and certain Company affiliates including The Rugby Group, Inc. (Rugby) in various state and federal courts alleging claims under various federal and state competition and consumer protection laws. Several plaintiffs have filed amended complaints and motions seeking class certification. Approximately 42 cases were filed against Watson, Rugby and other Company entities. Many of these actions have been dismissed. Actions remain pending in various state courts, including California, Kansas, Tennessee, and Florida. The actions generally allege that the defendants engaged in unlawful, anticompetitive conduct in connection with alleged agreements, entered into prior to Watsons acquisition of Rugby from Sanofi Aventis (Sanofi), related to the development, manufacture and sale of the drug substance ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, the generic version of Bayers brand drug, Cipro®. The actions generally seek declaratory judgment, damages, injunctive relief, restitution and other relief on behalf of certain purported classes of individuals and other entities. The action pending in Kansas, which the court previously terminated administratively, has been reopened. Plaintiffs in that case moved for class certification on February 21, 2014; defendants filed opposition to the class certification motion on May 23, 2014. Class discovery ended on July 25, 2014 and plaintiffs filed reply briefs in support of certification on August 22, 2014. There has been no action in the cases pending in Florida and Tennessee since 2003. In the action pending in the California Superior Court for the County of San Diego (In re: Cipro Cases I & II, JCCP Proceeding Nos. 4154 & 4220), on July 21, 2004, the California Court of Appeal ruled that the majority of the plaintiffs would be permitted to pursue their claims as a class. On August 31, 2009, the California Superior Court granted defendants motion for summary judgment, and final judgment was entered on September 24, 2009. On October 31, 2011, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Courts judgment. On December 13, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court. On February 15, 2012, the California Supreme Court granted review. On September 12, 2012, the California Supreme Court entered a stay of all proceedings in the case pending a decision from the United States Supreme Court in the Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis matter involving Androgel, described above. The California Supreme Court lifted the stay on June 26, 2013 following the ruling by the United States Supreme Court. Plaintiffs and Bayer recently announced that they have reached an agreement to settle the claims pending against Bayer. Plaintiffs are continuing to pursue claims against the generic defendants, including Watson and Rugby. The remaining parties submitted letter briefs to the court regarding the impact of the Supreme Court Androgel Decision. Response briefs were submitted on February 14, 2014. Amicus briefs were submitted on March 18, 2014 and the parties filed responses to such briefs on April 24, 2014.
In addition to the pending actions, the Company understands that various state and federal agencies are investigating the allegations made in these actions. Sanofi has agreed to defend and indemnify Watson and its affiliates in connection with the claims and investigations arising from the conduct and agreements allegedly undertaken by Rugby and its affiliates prior to Watsons acquisition of Rugby, and is currently controlling the defense of these actions.
Doryx Litigation. In July 2012, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Mylan) filed a complaint against Warner Chilcott and Mayne Pharma International Pty. Ltd. (Mayne) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging that Warner Chilcott and Mayne prevented or delayed Mylans generic competition to Warner Chilcotts Doryx® products in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and tortiously interfered with Mylans prospective economic relationships under Pennsylvania state law. (Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 12-cv-03824). In the complaint, Mylan seeks unspecified treble and punitive damages and attorneys fees.
F-148
Following the filing of Mylans complaint, three putative class actions were filed against Warner Chilcott and Mayne by purported direct purchasers, and one putative class action was filed against Warner Chilcott and Mayne by purported indirect purchasers, each in the same court. On December 5, 2013 an additional complaint was filed by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund and on May 9, 2014, Laborers Trust Fund for Northern California filed a complaint each on behalf of additional groups of purported indirect purchasers. Warner has moved to dismiss each of these new complaints. In each case the plaintiffs allege that they paid higher prices for Warner Chilcotts Doryx® products as a result of Warner Chilcotts and Maynes alleged actions preventing or delaying generic competition in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and/or state laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified injunctive relief, treble damages and/or attorneys fees. The court consolidated the purported class actions and the action filed by Mylan and ordered that all the pending cases proceed on the same schedule.
On February 5, 2013, four retailers, including HEB Grocery, Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and Walgreen Co., filed in the same court a civil antitrust complaint in their individual capacities against Warner Chilcott and Mayne regarding Doryx®. (Walgreen Co., Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and HEB Grocery Co, LP. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-00658). On March 28, 2013, another retailer, Rite Aid, filed a similar complaint in the same court. (Rite Aid Corp. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-01644). Both retailer complaints recite similar facts and assert similar legal claims for relief to those asserted in the related cases described above. Both retailer complaints have been consolidated with the cases described above.
Warner Chilcott and Mayne moved to dismiss the claims of Mylan, the direct purchasers, the indirect purchasers and the retailers. On November 21, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission filed with the court an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiffs theory of relief. On June 12, 2013, the court entered a denial, without prejudice, of Warner Chilcott and Maynes motions to dismiss. On November 13, 2013, Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement in principle to settle the claims of the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff class representatives for $15.0 million. On February 18, 2014 the court preliminarily approved the settlement and held a hearing for final approval on June 9, 2014. On April 18, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement to settle the claims of the opt-out direct purchasers for $10.9 million. On May 29, 2014 Warner Chilcott and Mayne reached an agreement in principle to settle the claims of the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiff class representatives for $8.0 million. On July 11, 2014, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion to approve the settlement with the court and on September 9, 2014 the court, after a hearing, issued an order preliminarily approving this settlement. The final fairness hearing on the indirect purchaser settlement is scheduled for January 7, 2015. Warner Chilcott and Mylan filed motions for summary judgment on March 10, 2014. On June 2, 2014, the court vacated the trial date. A new trial date has not been set.
The Company intends to vigorously defend its rights in the litigations. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. The plaintiffs collectively seek approximately $1.2 billion in compensatory damages, which includes approximately $1.05 billion in purported damages of the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and opt-out direct purchaser plaintiffs with whom the company has settlements in principle. The Company believes these amounts are unfounded and without merit. However, any award of compensatory damages could be subject to trebling. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Lidoderm® Litigation. On November 8, 2013, a putative class action was filed in the federal district court (Drogueria Betances, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-06542) against Actavis, Inc. and certain of its affiliates alleging that Watsons 2012 patent lawsuit settlement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. related to Lidoderm® (lidocaine transdermal patches, Lidoderm®) is unlawful. The complaint, asserted on behalf of putative classes of direct purchaser plaintiffs, generally alleges that Watson improperly delayed launching generic versions of Lidoderm® in exchange for substantial payments from Endo Pharmaceuticals in
F-149
violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. Additional lawsuits contain similar allegations have followed on behalf of putative classes of direct purchasers (Rochester Drug Cooperative, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-7217; American Sales Co. LLC, v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 14-0022; Cesar Castillo, Inc. v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 14-0569) and suits filed on behalf of a putative class of end-payer plaintiffs (United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v.Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 13-5257; Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 13-5280; City of Providence v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 13-771; Greater Metropolitan Hotel EmployersEmployees Health and Welfare Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., D.Minn. Civ. No. 13-3399; Pirelli Armstrong Retiree Medical Benefits Trust v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 13-1378; Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 178 Health and Welfare Trust Fund v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 13-5938; Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Health and Welfare Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-0057; International Association of Fire Fighters Local 22 Health & Welfare Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-0092; Painters District Council No. 30 Health and Welfare Fund v. Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc., et al., C.D.Cal. Civ. No. 14-0289; Local 17 Hospitality Benefit Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 14-0503; Teamsters Local Union 115 Health and Welfare Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-0772; Roller v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 14-0792; Welfare Plan of the International Union of Operation Engineers Locals 137, 137A, 137B, 137C, 137R v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., M.D.Tenn. Civ. No. 13-1378; NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., N.D.Cal. Civ. No. 14-1141; Allied Services Division Welfare Fund v. Endo Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-1548; Irene Kampanis v. Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 14-1562). The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. On December 23, 2013, plaintiffs in the United Food and Commercial Workers action filed a motion with the JPML to have all the Lidoderm® antitrust cases consolidated in the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs in several of the other actions filed objections and argued for consolidation in districts where their suits were filed. The motion was heard by the JPML at a hearing on March 27, 2014 and on April 3, 2014 the JPML consolidated the cases in the Northern District of California. (In re Lidoderm Antitrust Litigation, N.D. Cal., MDL No. 14-2521). An initial case conference was held on May 9, 2014 after which the court issued a schedule order. Pursuant to that order, on June 13, 2014 the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed amended and consolidated complaints. The defendants thereafter filed a joint motion to dismiss on July 28, 2014. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to the joint motion on September 8, 2014. Defendants will have until October 14, 2014 to submit a reply.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Loestrin ® 24 Litigation. On April 5, 2013, two putative class actions were filed in the federal district court (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Pub. Ltd. Co., et al., D.N.J., Civ. No. 13-02178, and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa., No. 13-01807) against Actavis, Inc. and certain affiliates alleging that Watsons 2009 patent lawsuit settlement with Warner Chilcott related to Loestrin® 24 Fe (norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, Loestrin® 24) is unlawful. The complaints, both asserted on behalf of putative classes of end-payors, generally allege that Watson and another generic manufacturer improperly delayed launching generic versions of Loestrin® 24 in exchange for substantial payments from Warner Chilcott, which at the time was an unrelated company, in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaints each seek declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. On April 15, 2013, the plaintiff in New York Hotel Trades withdrew its complaint and, on April 16, 2013, refiled it in the federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa., Civ. No. 13-02000). Additional complaints have been filed by different plaintiffs seeking to
F-150
represent the same putative class of end-payors (A.F. of L.A.G.C. Building Trades Welfare Plan v. Warner Chilcott, et al., D.N.J. 13-02456, Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-02014). Electrical Workers 242 and 294 Health & Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-2862 and City of Providence v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 13-307). In addition to the end-payor suits, two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of a class of direct payors (American Sales Company, LLC v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd., Co. et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 12-347 and Rochester Drug Co-Operative Inc., v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-133476). On June 18, 2013, defendants filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to consolidate these cases in one federal district court. After a hearing on September 26, 2013, the JPML issued an order conditionally transferring all related Loestrin® 24 cases to the federal court for the District of Rhode Island. (In re Loestrin 24 Fe Antitrust Litigation, D.R.I. MDL No. 13-2472). A preliminary hearing was held on November 4, 2013 after which an amended, consolidated complaint was filed on December 6, 2013. On February 6, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs complaints. Plaintiffs filed oppositions to the motion on March 24, 2014 and the Company filed its responses on April 23, 2014. A hearing was held on June 27, 2014 on the motion to dismiss and on September 4, 2014, the court granted the motion. The Company has until October 20, 2014 to respond to a complaint that was filed on February 25, 2014 by a group of opt-out direct purchaser plaintiffs. The court had previously ruled that responses to the opt-outs complaint would not be due until 45 days after it ruled on the then pending motions to dismiss. If the court denies the pending motions, the Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations may be filed. The consolidated case is still in its early stages and discovery has not yet begun on either the class allegations or merits. The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations.
NamendaXR. On September 15, 2014, the State of New York, through the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (The People of the State of New York v. Actavis, PLC, et al., Civ. No. 14-7473) alleging that Forest is acting to prevent or delay generic competition to Forests immediate-release product Namenda in violation of federal and New York antitrust laws and committed other fraudulent acts in connection with its commercial plans for NamendaXR. Previously, the Attorney Generals office had issued a subpoena for records relating to NamendaXR and Namenda to which Forest was responding. In the complaint, the state seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. On September 24, 2014, the state filed a motion for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Forest from discontinuing or otherwise limiting the availability of immediate-release Namenda until the conclusion of the litigation. Forests opposition to the injunction is due October 20, 2014.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and intends to defend both its brand and generic defendant entities vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Commercial Litigation
Celexa®/Lexapro® Class Actions. Forest and certain of its affiliates are defendants in three federal court actions filed on behalf of individuals who purchased Celexa® and/or Lexapro® for pediatric use, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the caption In re Celexa and Lexapro Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation. These actions, two of which were originally filed as putative nationwide class actions, and one of which is a putative California-wide class action, allege that Forest marketed Celexa® and/or Lexapro® for off-label pediatric use and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. The complaints assert various similar claims, including claims under the Missouri and California consumer protection statutes, respectively, and state common laws. On February 5, 2013, the district judge overseeing the MDL denied all plaintiffs motions for class certification. On February 18, 2013, the plaintiff in the California action filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
F-151
First Circuit. On April 16, 2013, the First Circuit denied the petition. On April 30, 2013, plaintiffs in the other two actions filed an Amended Complaint seeking to certify state-wide class actions in Illinois, Missouri, and New York under those states consumer protection statutes. On January 13, 2014, the district judge denied plaintiffs motion with respect to the proposed Illinois and New York classes and allowed it with respect to the proposed Missouri class. We filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on January 27, 2014. On March 12, 2014, we reached agreement with the MDL plaintiffs to settle the Missouri class claims, including claim by both individuals and third party payors that purchased Celexa® or Lexapro® for use by a minor from 1998 to December 31, 2013. In exchange for a release from class members, Forest will pay $7.65 million into a fund that will cover (1) the settlement benefits paid to class members, (2) administration costs, (3) incentive awards to be paid to the representative plaintiffs, and (4) attorneys fees and costs. If valid claims are greater than $4.215 million, Forest will pay up to $2.7 million more to pay for the additional valid claims (the total settlement payment shall not exceed $10.35 million). The district court judge preliminarily approved the settlement on March 14, 2014 and issued an order enjoining all class members and other persons from litigating claims relating to those covered by the settlement. On September 8, 2014, the court granted final approval for the settlement.
On May 3, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of individuals who purchased Lexapro® for adolescent use, seeking to certify a state-wide class action in California and alleging that our promotion of Lexapro® for adolescent depression has been deceptive. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraph and, on July 29, 2013, we moved to dismiss the complaint. The district court judge granted Forests motion to dismiss on March 5, 2014. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on March 17, 2014 and filed its appeal brief on July 24, 2014. Forest filed its opposition brief on August 25, 2014.
On November 13, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to certify a nationwide class of third-party payor entities that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, and we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 15, 2014. On February 5, 2014, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the complaint and filed a First Amended Complaint, which, among other things, added claims on behalf of a Minnesota class of entities and consumers under Minnesotas consumer protection statutes. We filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on April 9, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
On March 13, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by two third-party payors seeking to certify a nationwide class of persons and entities that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for use by pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, state consumer protection statutes, and state common laws, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®. This action was filed as a related action to the action described above in the preceding paragraph. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
On August 28, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (Civ. No. 14-1339) seeking to certify a nationwide class of consumers and subclasses of Washington and Massachusetts consumers that purchased Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa® and Lexapro®.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
F-152
Forest and certain of its affiliates are also named as defendants in two actions filed on behalf of entities or individuals who purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa® and Lexapro® for pediatric use pending in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, and arising from similar allegations as those contained in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraphs. The first action, filed on November 6, 2009 under the caption St. Louis Labor Healthcare Network et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc., is brought by two entities that purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa® and/or Lexapro®. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. We have reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve this action for payments that are not material to our financial condition or results of operations. The second action, filed on July 22, 2009 under the caption Crawford v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now known as Luster v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a putative class action on behalf of a class of Missouri citizens who purchased Celexa® for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. In October 2010, the court certified a class of Missouri domiciliary citizens who purchased Celexa® for pediatric use at any time prior to the date of the class certification order, but who do not have a claim for personal injury. On December 9, 2013, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which was argued on January 8, 2014. On February 21, 2014, we filed a motion to de-certify the class. Decisions on these motions are pending. On March 12, 2014, we informed the judge of the MDL Missouri class settlement described above, including that the federal class encompasses the members of the certified Missouri class in Luster. At a status conference on April 2, 2014 the parties agreed that the action is stayed in light of the injunction contained in the MDL Preliminary Approval Order, described above. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Columbia Laboratories, Inc. Securities Litigation. On June 8, 2012, Watson and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a consolidated amended class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (In re: Columbia Laboratories, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. CV 12-614) by a putative class of Columbia Laboratories stock purchasers. The amended complaint generally alleges that between December 6, 2010 and January 20, 2012, Watson and certain of its officers, as well as Columbia Laboratories and certain of its officers, made false and misleading statements regarding the likelihood of Columbia Laboratories obtaining FDA approval of Prochieve® progesterone gel, Columbia Laboratories developmental drug for prevention of preterm birth. Watson licensed the rights to Prochieve® from Columbia Laboratories in July 2010. The amended complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to disclose material information concerning the statistical analysis of the clinical studies performed by Columbia Laboratories in connection with its pursuit of FDA approval of Prochieve®. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. On August 14, 2012, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims in the amended complaint, which the court granted on June 11, 2013. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on July 11, 2013. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2013. On October 21, 2013, the court granted the motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. In ruling on the motion to dismiss, the court also ruled that if the plaintiffs seek to further amend the complaint, they must file a motion within thirty days seeking permission to do so. On December 20, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on the district courts motion to dismiss ruling and filed their opening appellate brief on March 20, 2014. Respondents briefs in the appeal were filed on April 9, 2014. The oral argument on the appeal likely will be held during the week of November 17, 2014. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and it intends to defend itself vigorously. Additionally, the Company maintains insurance to provide coverage for the claims alleged in the action. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. The action, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Forest Laboratories Securities Litigation. In February and March 2014, nine putative stockholder class actions were brought against Forest, Forests directors, Actavis plc, and certain of Actaviss affiliates. Four
F-153
actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and have been consolidated under the caption In re Forest Laboratories, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (the Delaware Action). Five actions were filed in New York State Supreme Court and have been consolidated under the caption Turberg v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. et al. (the New York Action). On April 4 and May 5, 2014, respectively, the Delaware and New York plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints in their respective jurisdictions. The amended complaints seek, among other remedies, to enjoin Actaviss proposed acquisition of Forest or damages in the event the transaction closes. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Forest Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Forest for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process, and that the disclosure document fails to disclose allegedly material information about the transaction. The complaints also allege that Actavis, and certain of its affiliates, aided and abetted these alleged breaches. On May 28, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and the New York Action regarding a settlement of both Actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Forest agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with Actavis, which are contained in a Form 8-K filed May 28, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the Delaware Court of Chancery will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction, the merger agreement, and any disclosure made in connection therewith, including in the Definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the Actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Delaware Court of Chancery will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Furiex Securities Litigation. In May 2014, four putative stockholder class actions were brought against Forest, Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex), and Furiexs board of directors. Two actions were brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the captions Steven Kollman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Donald Powell v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the Delaware Actions). Two actions were brought in North Carolina state court under the captions Walter Nakatsukasa v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Christopher Shinneman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the North Carolina Actions). These actions alleged, among other things, that the members of the Furiex Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Furiex for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process. These actions also alleged that Forest aided and abetted these alleged breaches. These actions sought class certification, to enjoin the proposed acquisition of Furiex, and an award of unspecified damages, attorneys fees, experts fees, and other costs. The Kollman and Nakatsukasa actions also sought recission of the acquisition and unspecified recissory damages if the acquisition was completed. On June 23, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Actions and the North Carolina Actions regarding a settlement of all four actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Furiex agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with us, which are contained in a Form DEFA14A filed June 23, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the North Carolina state court will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all four actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction and any disclosure made in connection therewith, pursuant to
F-154
terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the North Carolina state court will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act LitigationMedical West Ballas Pharmacy, LTD, et al. v. Anda, Inc., (Circuit Court of the County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, Case No. 08SL-CC00257). In January 2008, Medical West Ballas Pharmacy, LTD, filed a putative class action complaint against Anda, Inc. (Anda), a subsidiary of the Company, alleging conversion and alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Missouri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. In April 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint substituting Anda as the defendant. The amended complaint alleges that by sending unsolicited facsimile advertisements, Anda misappropriated the class members paper, toner, ink and employee time when they received the alleged unsolicited faxes, and that the alleged unsolicited facsimile advertisements were sent to the plaintiff in violation of the TCPA and Missouri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. The TCPA allows recovery of minimum statutory damages of $500 per violation, which can be trebled if the violations are found to be willful. The complaint seeks to assert class action claims on behalf of the plaintiff and other similarly situated third parties. In April 2008, Anda filed an answer to the amended complaint, denying the allegations. In November 2009, the court granted plaintiffs motion to expand the proposed class of plaintiffs from individuals for which Anda lacked evidence of express permission or an established business relationship to All persons who on or after four years prior to the filing of this action, were sent telephone facsimile messages advertising pharmaceutical drugs and products by or on behalf of Defendant. In November 2010, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint further expanding the definition and scope of the proposed class of plaintiffs. On December 2, 2010, Anda filed a motion to dismiss claims the plaintiff is seeking to assert on behalf of putative class members who expressly consented or agreed to receive faxes from Defendant, or in the alternative, to stay the court proceedings pending resolution of Andas petition to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (discussed below). On April 11, 2011, the court denied the motion. On May 19, 2011, the plaintiffs filed their motion seeking certification of a class of entities with Missouri telephone numbers who were sent Anda faxes for the period January 2004 through January 2008. The motion has been briefed. However, the court granted Andas motion to vacate the class certification hearing until similar issues are resolved in either or both the pending Nack litigation or with the FCC Petition, both of which are described in more detail below. No trial date has been set in the matter.
On May 1, 2012, an additional action under the TCPA was filed by Physicians Healthsource, Inc., purportedly on behalf of the end users of the fax numbers in the United States but outside Missouri to which faxes advertising pharmaceutical products for sale by Anda were sent. (Physicians Healthsource Inc. v. Anda Inc. S.D. Fla., Civ. No. 12-60798). On July 10, 2012, Anda filed its answer and affirmative defenses. The parties filed a joint motion to stay the action pending the resolution of the FCC Petition and the FCCs recently filed Public Notice, described below, which the court granted, staying the action for sixty days. On April 17, 2014 following the expiration of the sixty day period, the court lifted the stay but reentered it sua sponte on May 23, 2014.
Several issues raised in plaintiffs motion for class certification in the Medical West matter were addressed by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in an unrelated case to which Anda is not a party, Nack v. Walburg, No. 11-1460. Nack concerned whether there is a private right of action for failing to include any opt-out notice on faxes sent with express permission, contrary to a FCC regulation that requires such notice on fax advertisements. The Eighth Circuit granted Anda leave to file an amicus brief and to participate during oral argument in the matter, which was held on September 19, 2012. In its ruling, issued May 21, 2013, the Eighth Circuit held that Walburgs arguments on appeal amounted to challenges to the FCCs regulation and that the court lacked
F-155
jurisdiction to entertain such challenges pursuant to the Hobbs Act and it would otherwise not decide any similar challenges without the benefit of full participation by the FCC. The defendant in Nack has filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
In a related matter, on November 30, 2010, Anda filed a petition with the FCC, asking the FCC to clarify the statutory basis for its regulation requiring opt-out language on faxes sent with express permission of the recipient (the FCC Petition). On May 2, 2012, the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau of the FCC dismissed the FCC Petition. On May 14, 2012, Anda filed an application for review of the Bureaus dismissal by the full Commission, requesting the FCC to vacate the dismissal and grant the relief sought in the FCC Petition. The FCC has not ruled on the application for review. On June 27, 2013, Forest filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC requesting that the FCC find that (1) the faxes at issue in the action complied, or substantially complied with the FCC regulation, and thus did not violate it, or (2) the FCC regulation was not properly promulgated under the TCPA. On January 31, 2014, the FCC issued a Public Notice seeking comment on several other recently-filed petitions, all similar to the one Anda filed in 2010. Anda was one of several parties that submitted comments on the Public Notice. Anda believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the putative class actions brought under the TCPA, and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, these actions, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In October 2012, Forest and certain of its affiliates were named as a defendant, along with The Peer Group, Inc. (TPG), in a putative class action brought by the St. Louis Heart Center (SLHC) under the caption St. Louis Heart Center, Inc. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and The Peer Group, Inc. The action is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On May 17, 2013, SLHC filed a Fourth Amended Complaint, alleging that Forest and TPG violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA), on behalf of a proposed class that includes all persons who, from four years prior to the filing of the action, were sent telephone facsimile messages of material advertising the commercial availability of any property, goods, or services by or on behalf of defendants, which did not display an opt-out notice compliant with a certain regulation promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Fourth Amended Complaint seeks $500 for each alleged violation of the TCPA, treble damages if the Court finds the violations to be willful, knowing or intentional, interest, and injunctive and other relief. On July 17, 2013, the district court granted Forests motion to stay the action pending the administrative proceeding initiated by the pending FCC Petitions, including any appeal therefrom. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Mezzion Declaratory Judgment Action. On April 8, 2014, Warner Chilcott Company, LLC filed a declaratory judgment action against Mezzion Pharma Co. Ltd. (Mezzion), a Korean pharmaceutical company formerly known as Dong-A PharmaTech Co. Ltd. (Warner Chilcott Company, LLC v. Mezzion Pharma Co. Ltd., N.Y. Sup. Ct., Case No. 14-651094). The suit was filed to protect Warner Chilcott Company, LLCs rights and interests under an exclusive license and distribution agreement, involving Mezzions product udenafil that is used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostate hyperplasia. The parties first executed the agreement in 2008 and later amended it 2010. On February 14, 2014, Mezzion sent a notice a breach letter to Warner Chilcott Company, LLC alleging that Warner Chilcott had failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the product for the U.S. and Canadian markets. In its notice letter, Mezzion threatened to terminate the exclusive license and distribution agreement as a result of Warner Chilcotts purported breaches. Warner Chilcott believes that it has not breached the agreement and will prevail in the declaratory judgment action. On June 2, 2014, Mezzion filed an answer and asserted counterclaims against the Company. The Company filed its answer to the counterclaims on July 14, 2014. The litigation is still in its early stages and the parties are beginning to work on discovery matters. The Company intends to pursue its claims against Mezzion and believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to Mezzions counterclaims and it intends to defend itself vigorously. Litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. However, this action, if unsuccessful, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
F-156
West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Litigation. On June 26, 2012, the State of West Virginia filed a lawsuit against multiple distributors of prescription drugs, including Anda, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (State of West Virginia v. Amerisourcebergen Drug Corporation, et. al., Boone County Circuit Court Civil Case No. 12-C-141). The complaint generally alleges that the defendants distributed prescription drugs in West Virginia in violation of state statutes, regulation and common law. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages and penalties. On July 26, 2012, a co-defendant removed the case to the federal court for the Southern District of West Virginia. On March 27, 2013, the court granted plaintiffs motion to remand the case to state court. On January 3, 2014, plaintiff filed an amended complaint which the defendants moved to dismiss on February 14, 2014. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on June 5, 2014. The case is in its preliminary stages and the Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, an adverse determination in the case could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Prescription Drug Abuse Litigation. On May 21, 2014, California counties Santa Clara and Orange filed a lawsuit on behalf of the State of California against several pharmaceutical manufacturers. Plaintiffs named Actavis plc in the suit. (The People of the State of California v. Purdue Pharam L.P., et al, CA Super. Ct., Civil Case No. 30-2014-00725287) (California Action). The California plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 9, 2014. On July 11, 2014, co-defendant Teva Pharmaceuticals removed the case to the federal court for the Central District of California (Civ. No. 14-1080). The California plaintiffs moved to remand the case to state court on August 11, 2014. Defendants filed an opposition to the remand motion on September 19, 2014. On June 2, 2014, the City of Chicago also filed a complaint against the same set of defendants, including Actavis plc, that were sued in the California Action. Co-defendants Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Endo Pharmaceuticals removed the City of Chicagos complaint to the federal court for the Northern District of Illinois (Civ. No. 14-4361). On June 16, 2014, the City of Chicago moved to have the case remanded to state court but later withdrew its remand motion. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on August 29, 2014. Both complaints allege that the manufacturer defendants engaged in a deceptive campaign to promote their products in violation of state and local laws. Each of the complaints seeks unspecified monetary damages and penalties and the California Action also seeks injunctive relief. The Company believes it has several meritorious defenses to the claims alleged. However, an adverse determination in these actions could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Employment Litigation
In July 2012, Forest and certain of its affiliates were named as defendants in an action brought by Megan Barrett, Lindsey Houser, Jennifer Jones, and Jennifer Seard, former Company Sales Representatives, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Megan Barrett et al. v. Forest Laboratories Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In November 2012, Plaintiffs amended the complaint, adding six additional plaintiffs: Kimberly Clinton, Erin Eckenrode, Julie Smyth, Marie Avila, Andrea Harley, and Christy Lowder, all of whom alleged that they were current or former Company Sales Representatives or Specialty Sales Representatives. In March 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding one additional plaintiff: Tracy Le, a now-former Company Sales Representative. The action is a putative class and collective action, and the Second Amended Complaint alleges class claims under Title VII for gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions, as well as discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, and a collective action claim under the Equal Pay Act. The proposed Title VII gender class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives (defined to include Territory Sales Representatives, Field Sales Representatives, Medical Sales Representatives, Professional Sales Representatives, Specialty Sales Representatives, Field Sales Trainers, and Regional Sales Trainers) employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment, and the proposed Title VII pregnancy sub-class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives who have been, are, or will become pregnant while employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment. The proposed Equal Pay Act collective action class includes current, former, and future female Sales Representatives who were not compensated equally to similarly-situated male employees during the applicable liability period. The Second Amended Complaint also
F-157
includes non-class claims on behalf of certain of the named Plaintiffs for sexual harassment and retaliation under Title VII, and for violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act. We filed a motion to dismiss certain claims on April 29, 2013, which was argued on January 16, 2014. On August 14, 2014, the court issued a decision on the motion granting it in part and denying it in part, striking the plaintiffs proposed class definition and instead limiting the proposed class to a smaller set of potential class members and dismissing certain of the individual plaintiffs claims. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
FDA Litigation
In May 2002, Company subsidiary Watson Laboratories, Inc. reached an agreement with the FDA on the terms of a consent decree with respect to its Corona, California manufacturing facility. The court approved the consent decree on May 13, 2002 (United States of America v. Watson Laboratories, Inc., et. al., United States District Court for the Central District of California, EDCV-02-412-VAP). The consent decree applies only to the Companys Corona, California facility and not other manufacturing sites. The decree requires that the Corona, California facility complies with the FDAs current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company hired an independent expert to conduct inspections of the Corona facility at least once each year. In February 2014 the independent expert concluded its most recent inspection of the Corona facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the independent expert reported its opinion to the FDA that, based on the findings of the audit of the facility, the FDAs applicable cGMP requirements, applicable FDA regulatory guidance, and the collective knowledge, education, qualifications and experience of the experts auditors and reviewers, the systems at the Corona facility audited and evaluated by the expert are in compliance with the FDAs cGMP regulations. However, the FDA is not required to accept or agree with the independent experts opinion. The FDA has conducted periodic inspections of the Corona facility since the entry of the consent decree, and concluded its most recent general cGMP inspection in April 2014. At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA inspectors issued a Form 483 to the facility identifying certain observations concerning the instances where the facility failed to follow cGMP regulations. The facility recently responded to the Form 483 observations. If in the future, the FDA determines that, with respect to its Corona facility, the Company has failed to comply with the consent decree or FDA regulations, including cGMPs, or has failed to adequately address the FDAs inspectional observations, the consent decree allows the FDA to order a variety of actions to remedy the deficiencies. These actions could include ceasing manufacturing and related operations at the Corona facility, and recalling affected products. Such actions, if taken by the FDA, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Patent Litigation
Patent Enforcement Matters
Actonel Once-a-Month. In August 2008, December 2008 and January 2009, Procter & Gambles global branded pharmaceutical business (PGP) and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (Roche) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries Teva), Sun Pharma Global, Inc. (Sun) and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (together Apotex), respectively, indicating that each such company had submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of the Actonel® 150 mg product (Actonel® OaM). The notice letters contended that Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent), a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to PGP with respect to Actonel® OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. PGP and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Teva in September 2008 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., Case No. 08-cv-627), Sun in January 2009 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Sun Pharma Global, Inc., Case No. 09-cv- 061) and Apotex in March 2009 (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Apotex Inc. et al., Case No. 09-cv-143) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 938 Patent.
F-158
The lawsuits resulted in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of PGPs and Roches receipt of notice, subject to the prior resolution of the matters before the court. The stay of approval of each of Tevas, Suns and Apotexs ANDAs has expired, and the FDA has tentatively approved Tevas ANDA with respect to Actonel® OaM. However, none of the defendants challenged the validity of the underlying U.S. Patent No. 5,583,122 (the 122 Patent), which covers all of the Actonel® products, including Actonel® OaM, and did not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). As a result, the defendants were not permitted to market their proposed generic versions of Actonel® OaM prior to June 2014.
On February 24, 2010, Warner Chilcott and Roche received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Actonel® OaM. The notice letter contends that the 938 Patent, which expires in November 2023 and covers Actonel® OaM, is invalid and/or will not be infringed. Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a patent suit against Mylan in April 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Mylan with infringement of the 938 Patent based on its proposed generic version of Actonel® OaM (Procter & Gamble Co. et al. v. Mylan Pharms. Inc., Case No. 10-cv-285). The lawsuit resulted in a stay of FDA approval of Mylans ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts and Roches receipt of notice, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The stay of approval of Mylans ANDA has now expired. Mylan did not challenge the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which expired in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and covers all of the Actonel® products.
In October, November and December 2010 and February 2011, Warner Chilcott and Roche received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan, respectively, indicating that each such company had amended its existing ANDA covering generic versions of Actonel® OaM to include a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,718,634 (the 634 Patent). The notice letters contended that the 634 Patent, a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to Warner Chilcott with respect to Actonel® OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. Warner Chilcott and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Sun and Apotex in December 2010, against Teva in January 2011 and against Mylan in March 2011 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 634 Patent. No additional 30-month stay was available in these matters because the 634 Patent was listed in the FDAs Orange Book subsequent to the date on which Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan filed their respective ANDAs with respect to Actonel® OaM.
Warner Chilcott and Roches actions against Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan for infringement of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent arising from each such partys proposed generic version of Actonel® OaM were consolidated for all pretrial purposes (in Case No. 08-cv-627), and a consolidated trial for those suits was previously expected to be held in July 2012. Following an adverse ruling in Roches separate ongoing patent infringement suit before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey relating to its Boniva® product, in which the court held that claims of the 634 Patent covering a monthly dosing regimen using ibandronate were invalid as obvious, Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan filed a motion for summary judgment in Warner Chilcotts Actonel® OaM patent infringement litigation. In the motion, the defendants sought to invalidate the asserted claims of the 938 Patent and 634 Patent, which cover a monthly dosing regimen using risedronate, on similar grounds. The previously scheduled trial has been postponed pending resolution of the new summary judgment motion. A hearing on Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylans motions for summary judgment of invalidity and a separate motion by Warner Chilcott and Roche for summary judgment of infringement took place on December 14, 2012. On March 28, 2014, the district court granted the defendants motions for summary judgment that the 938 and 634 patents are invalid. Warner Chilcott and Roche intend to appeal the district courts decision, and on April 25, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a notice of appeal. On May 21, 2014, Warner Chilcott and Roche filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the launch of generic Actonel OaM. On June 6, 2014, the court denied the motion for preliminary injunction. On June 10, 2014, FDA approved generic versions of Actonel OaM. On June 11, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
F-159
denied the Companys appeal of the District Courts preliminary injunction ruling. Warner Chilcott and Roche continue to appeal the District Courts summary judgment ruling. Certain generic manufacturers have launched their products notwithstanding this appeal.
To the extent that any other ANDA filer also submitted a Paragraph IV certification with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,165,513 covering Actonel® OaM, Warner Chilcott has not pursued an infringement action with respect to this patent. The Company also received a Notice Letter from Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. dated on or about June 12, 2014. A complaint was filed on July 28, 2014 before the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Warner Chilcott Company, LLC and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. v. Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. and Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., C.A. No. 14-cv-00990). While Warner Chilcott and Roche intend to vigorously defend the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent and protect their legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Actonel® OaM will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent in 2023 (including, in each case, a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
Amrix®. In August 2014, Aptalis Pharmatech, Inc. (Aptalis) and Ivax International GmbH (Ivax), Aptaliss licensee for Amrix, brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,790,199 (the 199 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,829,121 (the 121 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (collectively Apotex) (Case No. 14-cv-1038). Apotex has notified Aptalis that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Amrix before these patents expire. (The 199 and 121 patents expire in November 2023.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Apotexs ANDA until no earlier than December 27, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner, and subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity). No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Amrix. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Asacol HD. In September 2011, Warner Chilcott received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (together with its affiliates, Zydus) indicating that Zydus had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Asacol® 800 mg product (ASACOL HD). Zydus contends that Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent No. 6,893,662, expiring in November 2021 (the 662 Patent), is invalid and/or not infringed. In addition, Zydus indicated that it had submitted a Paragraph III certification with respect to Medeva Pharma Suisse AGs (Medeva) U.S. Patent No. 5,541,170 (the 170 Patent) and U.S. Patent No. 5,541,171 (the 171 Patent), formulation and method patents which the Company exclusively licenses from Medeva covering Warner Chilcotts ASACOL products, consenting to the delay of FDA approval of the ANDA product until the 170 Patent and the 171 Patent expire in July 2013. In November 2011, Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Zydus in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Zydus with infringement of the 662 Patent (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Zydus Pharms. (USA) Inc. et al., Case No. 1:2011cv01105). The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Zydus ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the Zydus notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. In January 2014 the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the case. Under the terms of the settlement, Zydus can launch its ANDA product in November 2015, or can launch an authorized generic version of Asacol HD in July 2016 if it fails to obtain FDA approval of its ANDA by such time. On June 9, 2014, Warner Chilcott announced that the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement incorporating the terms set forth above.
Atelvia. In August and October 2011 and March 2012, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Watson Laboratories, Inc. Florida (together with Actavis, Inc. (formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and its subsidiaries, Actavis), Teva and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (together with its affiliates, Ranbaxy) indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia® 35 mg tablets (Atelvia®). The notice letters contend that Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,459 (the 459 Patent) and 7,645,460 (the 460 Patent), two formulation and
F-160
method patents expiring in January 2028, are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Actavis in October 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v. Watson Pharms., Inc. et al., Case No. 11-cv-5989), against Teva in November 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. et al., Case No. 11-cv-6936) and against Ranbaxy in April 2012 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v.Ranbaxy, Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-2474) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 459 Patent and 460 Patent. On August 21, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 8,246,989 (the 989 Patent), a formulation patent expiring in January 2026. The Company listed the 989 Patent in the FDAs Orange Book, each of Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy amended its Paragraph IV certification notice letter to contend that the 989 Patent is invalid and/or not infringed, and Warner Chilcott amended its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of such defendants original notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Company does not believe that the amendment of its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent will result in any additional 30-month stay. In addition, none of the ANDA filers certified against the 122 Patent, which covers all of the Actonel® and Atelvia® products and expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. In September 2013, Warner Chilcott received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Impax Laboratories, Inc. indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Atelvia®. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Impax on October 23, 2013, asserting infringement of the 459, 460, and 989 patents. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Impaxs ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. On June 13, June 30, and July 15, 2014, the Company entered into settlement agreements with Ranbaxy, Amneal and Impax, respectively. Each agreement permits Ranbaxy, Amneal and Impax to launch generic versions of Atelvia® on July 9, 2025, or earlier in certain circumstances. Trial against Teva began on July 14, 2014 and concluded on July 18, 2014. The Court has not issued its decision.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 459 Patent, the 460 Patent, and the 989 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuit will be decided, whether such lawsuit will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Atelvia® will not be approved and enter the market prior to the July 9, 2025 settlement dates above.
Canasa®. In July 2013, Aptalis Pharma US, Inc. and Aptalis Pharma Canada Inc. brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,217,083 (the 083 patent) and U.S. Patent No. 8,436,051 (the 051 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Mylan (Aptalis Pharma US, Inc., et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., Case No. 13-cv-4158) and Sandoz (Aptalis Pharma US, Inc., et al. v. Sandoz, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-4290). These companies have notified Aptalis that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of CANASA before these patents expire. Amended complaints were filed against these companies in November 2013 adding claims for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,854,384 (the 384 patent). The 083, 051, and 384 patents expire in June 2028. Aptalis believes these ANDAs were filed before the patents covering Canasa were listed in the Orange Book, which generally means that Aptalis is not entitled to the 30-month stay of the approval of these ANDAs provided for by the Hatch-Waxman Act. The previously scheduled claim construction hearing set for August 27, 2014 has been postponed to an undetermined date. No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Canasa. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Enablex®. On December 18, 2013, Warner Chilcott Company LLC and Warner Chilcott (US) LLC sued Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Torrent Pharma Inc. (together Torrent) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Torrents darifenacin tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Enablex®, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,106,864 (the 864 patent) (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Torrent Pharms. Ltd, et al., Case No. 13cv02039). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Pursuant to the
F-161
provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to Torrent until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its ANDA filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation, subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity.
On June 6, 2014, Warner Chilcott Company LLC and Warner Chilcott (US) LLC sued Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC (together Amneal) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Amneals darifenacin tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Enablex®, would infringe the 864 patent (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al., Case No. 14cv00718). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to Amneal until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its ANDA filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation, subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity. On July 7, 2014, the Company settled with Torrent. The litigation against Amneal remains pending. The Company has also received a Notice Letter dated June 19, 2014 from Apotex Corp. et al. and an analogous complaint was filed (Warner Chilcott Company LLC et al. v. Apotex Corp., et al., Case No. 14cv00998).
Under the settlement agreements entered into in the third quarter of 2010 to resolve outstanding patent litigation, each of Teva, Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson agreed not to launch a generic version of Enablex® until the earlier of March 15, 2016 (or June 15, 2016, if a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity is granted) or, among other circumstances, (i) the effective date of any license granted to a third party for a generic Enablex product or (ii) in the event a third party launches a generic Enablex® product at risk and injunctive relief is not sought or granted.
The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent Amneal and/or Apotex from launching a generic version of Enablex. However, if Amneal and/or Apotex prevails in the pending litigation or if Amneal and/or Apotex launches a generic version of Enablex® before the pending or any subsequent litigation is finally resolved, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Generess® Fe. On November 22, 2011, Warner Chilcott Company sued Mylan Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Famy Care Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol and ferrous fumarate tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Generess® Fe tablets (which is exclusively licensed by Warner Chilcott), would infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,667,050 (the 050 patent) (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Mylan Inc., et al., Case No. 11cv6844). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. On December 12, 2011 Warner Chilcott sued Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of Lupins generic version of Generess® Fe would infringe the 050 patent. (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Lupin Ltd., et al., Case No. 11cv7228). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Warner Chilcotts lawsuits against Mylan and Lupin have been consolidated and remain pending. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its abbreviated new drug application filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation. The trial concluded on February 21, 2014. On April 15, 2014 Warner Chilcott reached an agreement with Mylan to settle their case. Under the terms of the settlement, Mylan may launch its ANDA product on April 1, 2015, or Mylan can launch an authorized generic version of Generess on October 1, 2015. The litigation against Lupin is still pending. On April 29, 2014, the district court ruled that the 050 patent is invalid. Warner Chilcott has appealed the decision and the appeal is currently pending. The Company believes Warner Chilcott has meritorious claims on appeal. However, if Lupin prevails in the pending litigation or launches a generic version of Generess® Fe before the pending litigation is finally resolved or April 1, 2015, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Lo Loestrin® Fe. In July 2011 and April 2012, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Lupin and Actavis indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to
F-162
manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts oral contraceptive, Lo Loestrin® Fe. The notice letters contend that the 394 Patent and Warner Chilcotts U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984 (the 984 Patent), which cover Lo Loestrin® Fe and expire in 2014 and 2029, respectively, are invalid and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Lupin in September 2011 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Lupin Ltd. et al., Case No. 11-cv-5048) and against Actavis in May 2012 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Watson Labs., Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-2928) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 394 Patent and the 984 Patent. Warner Chilcott granted Lupin and Actavis covenants not to sue on the 394 Patent with regard to their ANDAs seeking approval for a generic version of Lo Loestrin® Fe, and the court dismissed all claims concerning the 394 Patent in the Lupin and the Actavis litigations in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of such defendants notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. On October 4, 2013, Amneal Pharmaceuticals was substituted for Actavis as a defendant. A joint trial began on October 7, 2013 and concluded on October 17, 2013. On January 17, 2014, the district court issued its decision that the 984 Patent is valid and infringed by Lupins and Amneals respective ANDAs. On January 21, 2014, Lupin filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Appeal No. CAFC 14-1262). The appeal is currently pending.
In September 2013, Warner Chilcott received Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan and Famy Care indicating that they had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of Warner Chilcotts oral contraceptive, Lo Loestrin® Fe. The notice letter contends that Warner Chilcotts 984 Patent, which covers Lo Loestrin® Fe and expires in 2029, is invalid and/or not infringed. Warner Chilcott filed a lawsuit against Mylan in October 2013 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Mylan Inc. et al., Case No. 13-cv-06560) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging Mylan and Famy Care with infringement of the 984 Patent. The complaint seeks injunctive relief. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Mylan and Famy Cares ANDA for 30 months from the date of Warner Chilcotts receipt of the notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Mylan/Famy Care case is not consolidated with the Lupin case and is currently pending in the district court.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 984 Patent and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of Lo Loestrin® Fe will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 984 Patent in 2029.
Minastrin® 24 Fe. On June 6, 2014, Warner Chilcott sued Lupin Atlantis Holdings SA, Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, Lupin) in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, alleging that sales of Lupins norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol chewable tablets, a generic version of Warner Chilcotts Minastrin® 24 Fe, would infringe U.S. Patent 6,667,050 (the 050 patent). The Complaint seeks an injunction. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided Warner Chilcott with notice of its abbreviated new drug application filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation. Warner Chilcott further notes that FDA will not approve any ANDA product before May 8, 2016 due to Minastrin® 24 Fes new dosage form exclusivity, which expires on that date. The litigation against Lupin is pending. Warner Chilcott notes that on April 29, 2014, several of the claims of the 050 patent were declared invalid in the Generess litigation discussed above. Warner Chilcott has appealed the Generess decision and the appeal is currently pending. The Company believes Warner Chilcott has meritorious claims on appeal. However, if Lupin prevails in the Generess appeal, or in the instant litigation, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Namenda®. In June 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Merz Pharma, Forests licensor for Namenda (all collectively, Plaintiffs), brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of
F-163
Delaware against Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. and Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. (collectively Aurobindo) (Case No. 14-cv-833). Aurobindo has notified Plaintiffs that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Namenda before the 703 patent expires. On or about June 16, 2014, the FDA informed Forest that pediatric exclusivity had been granted for studies conducted on memantine hydrochloride, the active ingredient of Namenda. (As a result, the 703 patent expires in October 2015.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Aurobindos ANDA until no later than the expiration of the 703 patent (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner, and subject to any other exclusivities, such as a first filer 180 day market exclusivity). No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Namenda. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Namenda XR®. In January, February, April, May and August 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Merz Pharma and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Forests licensors for Namenda XR (all collectively, Plaintiffs), brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,039,009 (the 009 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,168,209 (the 209 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,173,708 (the 708 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,283,379 (the 379 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,329,752 (the 752 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,362,085 (the 085 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,598,233 (the 233 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Wockhardt, Teva, and Sun (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-121), Apotex, Anchen, Zydus, Watson, and Par (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Apotex Corp., et al., Case No. 14-cv-200), Mylan, Amneal, and Amerigen (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al., Case No. 14-cv-508), Ranbaxy (Forest Laboratories, Inc., et al. v. Ranbaxy Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-686), and Lupin (Forest Laboratories, LLC, et al. v. Lupin Limited, et al., Case No. 14-cv-1058), and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Plaintiffs that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Namenda XR before these certain patents expire. On or about June 16, 2014, the FDA informed Forest that pediatric exclusivity had been granted for studies conducted on memantine hydrochloride, the active ingredient of Namenda XR. (As a result, the 703 patent expires in October 2015, the 009 patent expires in September 2029, and the 209, 708, 379, 752, 085, and 233 patents expire in May 2026.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs that expires no earlier than June 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Plaintiffs sooner). On June 11, 2014, Mylan filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, which Plaintiffs opposed on June 30, 2014. Mylans motion remains pending. No trial date has been set. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Namenda XR. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Rapaflo®. On June 17, 2013, Actavis, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. sued Hetero USA Inc., Hetero Labs Limited, and Hetero Labs Limited, Unit 3 (collectively, Hetero) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of silodosin tablets, a generic version of Actavis Rapaflo® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,387,603 (the 603 patent) (Kissei Pharm. Co., Ltd. et al v. Hetero USA Inc. et al., Case No. 13cv01091). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. On June 17, 2013 Actavis, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. sued Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that sales of Sandozs generic version of Rapaflo® would infringe the 603 patent. (Kissei Pharm. Co., Ltd. et al v. Sandoz, Inc., Case No. 13cv01092). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Actavis and Kisseis lawsuits against Hetero and Sandoz have been consolidated and remain pending. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants prior to April 8, 2016. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Rapaflo. However, if a generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation or launches a generic version of Rapaflo before the pending litigation is finally resolved, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Saphris®. In September 2014, Forest Laboratories, LLC, and Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) brought an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,763,476 (the 476 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,741,358 (the 358 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Sigmapharm Laboratories, LLC (Sigmapharm) (Case No. 14-cv-1119). Sigmapharm has notified Forest that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market a generic version of Saphris before these patents expire. (The 476 patent expires in June 2020, and the 358 patent expires in April 2026.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Sigmapharms ANDA until February 13, 2017 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest sooner). The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicant from launching a generic version of Saphris. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched. The Company has also received a notice letter from a second ANDA filer and that notice is currently under review.
Savella®. In September, October, and November 2013, and February 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc., Forest Laboratories Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, Forest) and Royalty Pharma Collection Trust (Royalty), Forests licensor for Savella, brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,602,911 (the 911 patent), U.S. Patent No. 7,888,342 (the 342 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,994,220 (the 220 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Amneal (Case No. 13-cv-1737), Apotex (Case No. 13-cv-1602), First Time US Generics (Case No. 13-cv-1642), Glenmark (Case No. 14-cv-159), Hetero (Case No. 13-cv-1603), Lupin (Case No. 13-cv-1604), Mylan (Case No. 13-cv-1605), Par (Case No. 13-cv-1606), Ranbaxy (Case No. 13-cv-1607), Sandoz (Case No. 13-cv-1830), and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Forest and Royalty that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Savella before these patents expire. (The 342 patent expires in November 2021, the 911 patent expires in January 2023, and the 220 patent expires in September 2029.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs until July 14, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest and Royalty Pharma sooner). On March 7, 2014, Forest and Royalty voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, all claims against Sandoz. On March 20, 2014, the district court consolidated all of the remaining pending actions for all purposes and issued a scheduling order setting a claim construction hearing in December 2015 and a trial date in January 2016. On May 12, 2014, Forest and Royalty entered into a settlement agreement with First Time US Generics. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to review of the settlement terms by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Forest will provide a license to First Time that will permit it to launch its generic version of Savella as of the date that is the later of (a) six (6) calendar months prior to the expiration date of the last to expire of the 911 patent, the 342 patent, and the 220 patent, including any extensions and/or pediatric exclusivities; or (b) the date that First Time obtains final FDA approval of its ANDA, or earlier in certain circumstances. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Savella. However, there can be no assurance a generic version will not be launched.
Patent Defense Matters
Bayer Patent Litigation. In August 2012, Bayer Pharma AG (together with its affiliates, Bayer) filed a complaint against Warner Chilcott in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Warner Chilcotts manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of its Lo Loestrin® Fe oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. 5,980,940 (Bayer Intellectual Property GMBH et al. v. Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al., Case No. 12-cv-1032). In the complaint, Bayer seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. In December 2012, Bayer amended the complaint to add a patent interference claim seeking to invalidate the Companys 984 Patent, which covers the Lo Loestrin® Fe product. In June 2014, a claim construction hearing was held before the Court, and the Parties are awaiting the Courts conclusions.
Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, the Company believes that it has a number of strong defenses to the allegations in the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the litigations. These cases are in the early stages of litigation, and an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
F-165
Ibandronate Tablets (Generic version of Boniva®). On September 21, 2007, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. sued Cobalt Laboratories, Inc. and Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc. (both of which were subsequently acquired by Watson in 2009) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of Ibandronate Tablets, a generic version of Hoffmann-La Roches Boniva® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 4,927,814 (the 814 Patent); 6,294,196 (the 196 Patent); and 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent) (Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Inc., et. al., Case No. 07cv4540). The complaint sought damages and injunctive relief. Thereafter, Hoffmann-La Roche asserted additional claims, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,410,957 (the 957 Patent) and 7,718,634 (the 634 patent) against Cobalt, and the parties entered into stipulations to dismiss Hoffman-La Roches claims related to the 196 and the 938 Patent. On August 24, 2010, the District Court granted Hoffmann-La Roches motion for summary judgment that Cobalt would infringe at least one claim of the 814 patent. On March 17, 2012, the 814 patent expired, leaving the 957 and 634 patents as the only patents in suit. On May 7, 2012, the District Court granted the Companys motion for summary judgment that certain claims of the 634 patent are invalid. In June 2012, the Company began selling its generic version of Boniva®. On October 1, 2012, the District Court granted Cobalts motion for summary judgment that certain claims of the 957 patent are invalid. On January 25, 2013 the District Court denied Plaintiffs motion for reconsideration of the summary judgment decisions finding the 634 patent and 957 patent claims invalid. The plaintiff appealed. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the appeal on December 6, 2012. On April 11, 2014, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district courts decision that the 957 and 634 patents are invalid. On May 12, 214, Hoffman- La Roche filed a petition for rehearing, and the defendants responded on June 10, 2014. On July 11, 2014, the Court of Appeals denied the petition for rehearing. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, the Company has sold and is continuing to sell its generic version of Boniva®. Therefore, an adverse final appellate determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Oxymorphone Extended-Release Tablets (Generic version of Opana® ER). On December 11, 2012, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo) sued Actavis and certain of its affiliates in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that sales of the Companys 7.5 mg and 15 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets, generic versions of Endos Opana® ER, infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,851,482; 8,309,122; and 8,329,216, which the USPTO recently issued or Endo recently acquired (Endo Pharms. Inc. v. Actavis Inc. et al., Case No. 12-cv-8985). On July 11, 2013, the FDA approved Actavis 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets. On August 6, 2013, Endo filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to prevent Actavis from selling its 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg oxymorphone extended-release tablets. On September 12, 2013, the Court denied Endos motion for a preliminary injunction and Actavis began selling its generic versions of Opana® ER. On September 17, 2013, Endo filed a motion for an injunction pending appeal, which the Federal Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied on November 21, 2013. On January 9, 2014, the Federal Circuit heard oral arguments on Endos appeal of the district courts denial of the motion for a preliminary injunction. On March 31, 2014, the Federal Circuit reversed the district courts denial of Endos motion for a preliminary injunction and remanded the matter to the district court for further consideration. Trial in this matter will begin in March 2015. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, Actavis has sold and is continuing to sell its generic versions of Opana® ER, 5mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg and 40 mg. Therefore, an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Teva Namenda XR Patent Litigation. In December 2013, Forest Laboratories, Inc. (Forest) was named as a defendant in an action brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al. v. Forest Laboratories, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-2002). The complaint alleges that Forest infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing Namenda XR. The relief requested includes preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and damages. On June 11, 2014, Forest filed a motion for judgment of non-infringement on the pleadings, which remains pending. The district court has scheduled a claim construction
F-166
hearing in June 2015, and trial to begin in July 2016. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Tranexamic Acid Tablets (Generic version of Lysteda®). On July 7, 2011, Ferring B.V. sued Watson in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, alleging that sales of the Companys tranexamic acid tablets, a generic version of Ferrings Lysteda® tablets, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,947,739 (the 739 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:11-cv-00481). On November 25, 2011, Ferring filed a second complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,022,106 (the 106 patent). (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:11-cv-00853). On November 9, 2012, Ferring filed a third complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,273,795 (the 795 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Case No. 2:12-cv-01935). The District Court has consolidated all three cases. On January 3, 2013, Actavis began selling its generic version of Lysteda®. On September 6, 2013, Ferring filed a fourth complaint in the District of Nevada alleging that sales of Actavis tranexamic acid tablets would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,487,005 (the 005 patent) (Ferring B.V. v. Actavis, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:13-cv-00477). The fourth complaint also seeks damages for the alleged infringement of the 739, 106, 759, and 005 patents by Actavis sales of its generic version of Lysteda®. The fourth case has not been consolidated with the first three cases, and Actavis has filed a motion to dismiss that action. On July 23, 2014, the District Court granted Actaviss motion to dismiss Ferrings damages claims with respect to the 739, 106, and 795 patents, but denied Actaviss motion to dismiss the 005 patent claims. Trial regarding the 739, 106 and 759 patents began on January 21, 2014, and on January 30, 2014, the Judge tentatively ruled that the 739, 106 and 759 patents are valid and infringed by Watsons ANDA product. On April 15, 2014, the district court entered judgment that Actaviss products infringe the 739, 106 and 759 patents and entered an injunction preventing the Company from further sales. On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a notice of appeal. On April 16, 2014, the Company filed a motion to stay the injunction pending appeal in the Federal Circuit. On April 28, 2014, the Federal Circuit granted the motion to stay the district courts injunction pending appeal.On August 22, 2014, the Federal Circuit reversed the District Courts decision, holding that Actaviss products do not infringe the 739, 106 and 759 patents and vacated the injunction. On September 22, 2014 Ferring filed a petition for rehearing with the Federal Circuit. That petition is currently pending. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case. However, Actavis has sold and is continuing to sell its generic version of Lysteda®. Therefore, an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Product Liability Litigation
Actonel Litigation. Warner Chilcott is a defendant in approximately 218 cases and a potential defendant with respect to approximately 377 unfiled claims involving a total of approximately 603 plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs relating to Warner Chilcotts bisphosphonate prescription drug Actonel®. The claimants allege, among other things, that Actonel® caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare but serious condition that involves severe loss or destruction of the jawbone, and/or atypical fractures of the femur (AFF). All of the cases have been filed in either federal or state courts in the United States. Warner Chilcott is in the initial stages of discovery in these litigations. The 377 unfiled claims involve potential plaintiffs that have agreed, pursuant to a tolling agreement, to postpone the filing of their claims against Warner Chilcott in exchange for Warner Chilcotts agreement to suspend the statutes of limitations relating to their potential claims. In addition, Warner Chilcott is aware of four purported product liability class actions that were brought against Warner Chilcott in provincial courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that Actonel® caused the plaintiffs and the proposed class members who ingested Actonel® to suffer atypical fractures or other side effects. It is expected that these plaintiffs will seek class certification. Of the approximately 607 total Actonel®-related claims, approximately 77 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 513 include AFF-related claims and approximately four include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. In some of the cases, manufacturers of other bisphosphonate products are also
F-167
named as defendants. Plaintiffs have typically asked for unspecified monetary and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys fees. Warner Chilcott is reviewing these lawsuits and potential claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously.
Sanofi, which co-promoted Actonel® with Warner Chilcott in the United States through the end of 2013 pursuant to a collaboration agreement, is a defendant in some of Warner Chilcotts Actonel® product liability cases. Sanofi and Warner Chilcott continue to co-promote Actonel® in other countries pursuant to the collaboration agreement. Under the collaboration agreement, Sanofi has agreed to indemnify Warner Chilcott, subject to certain limitations, for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in Canada relating to Actonel® and for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to Actonel® brought prior to April 1, 2010, which included approximately 90 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries that were pending as of March 31, 2010. Pursuant to the April 2010 amendment to the collaboration agreement, Warner Chilcott will be fully responsible for any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to Actonel® brought on or after April 1, 2010. Warner Chilcott may be liable for product liability, warranty or similar claims in relation to products acquired from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) in October 2009 in connection with Warner Chilcotts acquisition (the PGP Acquisition) of P&Gs global branded pharmaceuticals business (PGP), including ONJ-related claims that were pending as of the closing of the PGP Acquisition. Warner Chilcotts agreement with P&G provides that P&G will indemnify Warner Chilcott, subject to certain limits, for 50% of Warner Chilcotts losses from any such claims, including approximately 88 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries, pending as of October 30, 2009.
In May 2013, Warner Chilcott entered into a settlement agreement in respect of up to 74 ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. Warner Chilcott recorded a charge in the six months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $2.0 million in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies in connection with Warner Chilcotts entry into the settlement agreement. This charge represents Warner Chilcotts current estimate of the aggregate amount that is probable to be paid by Warner Chilcott in connection with the settlement agreement. In September 2013, Warner Chilcott entered into a separate settlement agreement in respect of up to 53 additional ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. Assuming that all of the relevant claimants accept the settlement agreements, approximately 561 Actonel®-related claims would remain outstanding, of which approximately 31 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 513 include AFF-related claims and approximately four include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty (i) the number of such individual claimants that will accept the settlement agreement or (ii) the outcome of any litigation with claimants rejecting the settlement or other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other Actonel®-related claims, and the Company can offer no assurance as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to proceedings with (i) claimants rejecting the settlement or (ii) other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other Actonel®-related claims is not possible at this time. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and Warner Chilcott maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Alendronate Litigation. Beginning in 2010, a number of product liability suits were filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of alendronate, for personal injuries including femur fractures and ONJ allegedly arising out of the use of alendronate. Approximately 136 cases are pending against Watson and/or its affiliates in various state and federal courts, representing claims by approximately 180 plaintiffs. These cases are generally at their preliminary stages. Fifty-three lawsuits also name as a defendant Cobalt Laboratories, which Watson acquired in 2009 as part of its acquisition of the Arrow Group, in connection with Cobalts manufacture and sale of alendronate. Twenty cases naming the Company and/or Cobalt were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings as part of a multi-district litigation (MDL) matter pending in
F-168
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (In re: Fosamax (Alendronate Sodium) Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2243). In 2012, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the Companys motion to dismiss all of the cases then pending against the Company in the New Jersey MDL. The Third Circuit affirmed. Any cases filed against the Company in the District of New Jersey MDL after the Courts January 2012 dismissal are subject to a case management order that calls for their dismissal unless plaintiffs can establish that their claims should be exempted from the 2012 dismissal order. To date, no plaintiff with a post-January 2012 complaint in the District of New Jersey against the Company has moved for such exemption and all such cases have been dismissed. Eleven other cases were part of an MDL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the Company filed a similar motion to dismiss. The Court granted, in part, that motion to dismiss, which has resulted in the dismissal of eight cases. Watson and/or Cobalt have also been served with nine cases that are part of consolidated litigation in the California Superior Court (Orange County). The Orange County Court partially granted a similar motion to dismiss, but the Company has not yet been able to determine how that will affect the cases filed against and served on it. Generic drug manufacturers similarly situated to the Company have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the California decision. All cases pending in the state court of Missouri have been discontinued against the Company. The remaining 124 active cases are part of a mass tort coordinated proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County. In that state court proceeding, the Court recently granted, in part, a motion to dismiss. As a result, the Company has obtained the stipulated dismissal of 295 cases. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or insurance do not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Benicar® Litigation. Approximately 14 actions involve allegations that Benicar®, a treatment for hypertension that Forest co-promoted with Daiichi Sankyo between 2002 and 2008, caused certain gastrointestinal injuries. Under Forests Co-Promotion Agreement, Daiichi Sankyo is defending us in these lawsuits.
Celexa®/Lexapro® Litigation. Forest and its affiliates are defendants in 13 actions involving allegations that Celexa® or Lexapro® caused or contributed to individuals committing or attempting suicide, or caused a violent event. The MDL that was established for the federal suicidality-related litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has concluded and the remaining cases have been remanded to the federal district courts in which they were filed originally. Nine trials have been scheduled in these actions in 2014 and 2015.
Approximately 188 of the actions against Forest and its affiliates involve allegations that Celexa® or Lexapro® caused various birth defects. The majority of these actions have been consolidated in Cole County Circuit Court in Missouri. One action is set for trial in Cole County in April 2015. Multiple actions also were filed in New Jersey. At present, two actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and nine actions are or will be pending in Hudson County, New Jersey. One action is pending in Orange County, California and is set for trial in March 2015.
Fentanyl Transdermal System Litigation. Beginning in 2009, a number of product liability suits were filed against Actavis and other Company affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of fentanyl transdermal system products, for personal injuries or deaths allegedly arising out of the use of the fentanyl transdermal system products. Actavis settled the majority of these cases in November 2012. Since that time, additional cases have been resolved individually and/or are in the process of being resolved. There are approximately four cases that remain pending against the Company in state and federal courts that have not been resolved. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
F-169
Metoclopramide Litigation. Beginning in 2009, a number of product liability suits were filed against certain Company affiliates, including legacy Actavis and Watson companies, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of metoclopramide, for personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of metoclopramide. Approximately 1,180 cases remain pending against Actavis, Watson and/or its affiliates in state and federal courts, representing claims by multiple plaintiffs. Discovery in these cases is in the preliminary stages as the Company is actively moving to dismiss the suits and either initiating or defending appeals on such motions. The Company believes that, with respect to the majority of the cases against the legacy Watson companies, it will be defended in and indemnified by Pliva, Inc., an affiliate of Teva, from whom the Company purchased its metoclopramide product line in late 2008. With respect to the cases pending against the legacy Actavis companies, the Company is actively defending them. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or insurance do not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Propoxyphene Litigation. Beginning in 2011, a number of product liability suits were filed against Watson and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of propoxyphene, for personal injuries including adverse cardiovascular events or deaths allegedly arising out of the use of propoxyphene. Cases are pending against Watson and/or its affiliates in various state and federal courts, representing claims by approximately 1,385 plaintiffs. Approximately 77 of the cases naming Watson were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings as part of a multi-district litigation (MDL) matter pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky (In re: Darvocet, Darvon, and Propoxyphene Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2226). Four of the MDL cases were voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs with prejudice. On June 22, 2012, the court hearing the MDL cases granted the generic defendants joint motion to dismiss the remaining MDL cases. Approximately 34 of the dismissed cases were appealed by the plaintiffs to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On June 27, 2014, the Sixth Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Courts dismissal of the generic defendants in all respects. It is anticipated that the plaintiffs will seek further review by the United States Supreme Court. They have 90 days from the issuance of the Sixth Circuits decision within which to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. In addition to the 77 consolidated cases, the MDL court remanded seven additional cases to California state court. Defendants jointly filed a petition with the Sixth Circuit to appeal that remand, which petition was denied, as was the subsequently filed petition for rehearing on the petition to appeal. The Sixth Circuits Order denying Defendants petition for rehearing was recently vacated due to the Ninth Circuits granting of a petition for en banc rehearing on the same issue. The Ninth Circuit case involves remand by a federal court in California to state court in a propoxyphene case involving the same defendants. The Sixth Circuit has now stayed these 7 cases pending the ruling of the Ninth Circuit on the issue. Approximately 35 of the cases naming Watson or its affiliates have been consolidated in a state court proceeding pending in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles. After the consolidation, the defendants jointly removed all of the cases to various US District Courts in California after which counsel for the plaintiffs moved to remand the cases back to state court. The various US district Court Judges granted the motions. The defendants jointly appealed the remand of these cases to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the granting of the motions to remand. The defendants then jointly petitioned the Ninth Circuit for an en banc rehearing of the defendants appeal. The Ninth Circuit recently granted the defendants Petition and oral argument was heard on June 26, 2014. Depending on the Ninth Circuits ruling, these cases will either be sent back to the MDL court (which is expected to dismiss them on the same basis on which it dismissed the other cases against the generic defendants) or they will be remanded to the California state court to be litigated in that forum. If the cases return to state court, they will be in their preliminary stages and we intend to file demurrers and/or motions to dismiss. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
F-170
Testosterone Litigation. Beginning in 2014, a number of product liability suits were filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of testosterone products, for personal injuries including but not limited to cardiovascular events allegedly arising out of the use of Androderm®. Actavis, Inc. and one or more of its subsidiaries have been served in 13 currently pending actions, twelve in federal court and one in state court. On June 6, 2014 the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered all federal actions claiming injury from testosterone products be consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (In re Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2545). Accordingly, the aforementioned federal actions have been consolidated into MDL 2545. The Company anticipates that additional suits will be filed. These cases are in the initial stages and discovery has not yet commenced. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Zarah Litigation. A number of product liability suits, eight (8) in total, are pending against the Company and/or certain of its affiliates as well as other manufacturers and distributors of oral contraceptive products for personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of the generic oral contraceptive, Zarah®. All of the actions are consolidated in the Yaz/Yasmin Multidistrict Litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The injuries alleged include, but are not limited to, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis, and gallbladder disease. These cases are in the initial stages and discovery has not yet commenced. The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if our insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Qui Tam and Related Litigation
Governmental Investigation and False Claims Act Litigation. Beginning in February 2012, Warner Chilcott, along with several of its current and former employees in its sales organization and certain third parties, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena received by Warner Chilcott seeks information and documentation relating to a wide range of matters, including sales and marketing activities, payments to people who are in a position to recommend drugs, medical education, consultancies, prior authorization processes, clinical trials, off-label use and employee training (including with respect to laws and regulations concerning off-label information and physician remuneration), in each case relating to all of Warner Chilcotts current key products. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena but cannot predict or determine the impact of this inquiry on its future financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is aware of three qui tam complaints filed by former Warner Chilcott sales representatives and unsealed in February and March 2013 and March 2014 (United States ex rel. Lisa A. Alexander and James P. Goan. v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., D. Mass. No. 11-10545 and United States et al. ex rel. Chris Wible, v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., D. Mass. No. 11-11143; People of the State of California ex rel. Schirrell Johnson, Lisa A. Alexander and James P. Goan v. Warner Chilcott PLC, et al., CA Super. Ct., Case No. BC496620-MHS). The unsealed federal qui tam complaints allege that Warner Chilcott violated Federal and state false claims acts through the promotion of all of Warner Chilcotts current key products by, among other things, making improper claims concerning the products, providing kickbacks to physicians and engaging in improper conduct concerning prior authorizations. The complaints seek, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties of up to eleven thousand dollars for each alleged false claim and attorneys fees and costs. Other similar complaints may exist under seal. The United States of America has elected not to intervene at this time in the unsealed Alexander/Goan or Wible qui tam actions, stating at the times of the relevant seal expirations that its investigation of the allegations raised in the relevant complaint was continuing and, as such, it was not able to decide at such time
F-171
whether to intervene in the action. The United States of America may later seek to intervene, and its election does not prevent the plaintiffs/relators from litigating the actions. The government has, however, successfully moved the court in the Alexander and Goan litigation to stay that proceeding through December 1, 2014. On December 2, 2013, plaintiff in the Wible action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with respect to all of its claims except his for retaliation and claims under CA and IL state law. Warner Chilcott moved to dismiss the remaining cause of action in this Wible complaint on December 20, 2013. While the Companys motion was pending, the plaintiff in Wible moved for leave to file a third amended complaint which the court granted thus rendering the Companys motion to dismiss moot. The Company and the plaintiff in Wible have reached an agreement to settle the matter. The State of California declined to intervene in the recently unsealed Johnson/Alexander/Goan qui tam action. Warner Chilcott removed the Johnson/Alexander/Goan case to the federal court for the Central District of California (Civ. No. 14-3249). On May 30, 2014, Warner Chilcott filed a motion to dismiss the Johnson/Alexander/Goan complaint. Rather than respond to the motion, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 8, 2014. Warner Chilcotts response to the amended complaint was filed on September 12, 2014. Warner Chilcott intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigations. However, these cases are in the early stages of litigation, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether Warner Chilcott will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Forest received a subpoena dated August 5, 2013 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Bystolic®, Savella®, and Namenda®, including with respect to speaker programs for these products. In February 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Kurt Kroening et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in April 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Bystolic® and Savella® and kickbacks provided to physicians to induce prescriptions of Bystolic®, Savella®, and Viibryd®. In January 2014, the Eastern District of Wisconsin U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it had not completed its investigation and therefore would not intervene in the action at that time (while reserving the right to intervene at a later date). We are continuing to cooperate with this investigation and to discuss these issues with the government. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In April 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Timothy Leysock v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in July 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Namenda®. An Amended Complaint was filed in October 2012 and a Second Amended Complaint was filed in April 2014. On April 16, 2014, the District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it was declining to intervene in the action. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. We filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 30, 2014. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Government Investigations
Forest and its affiliates received a subpoena dated April 20, 2011 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena requests documents relating to Benicar®, Benicar HCT®, and Azor®, prescription medications approved for the treatment of hypertension. Forest co-marketed Benicar® and Benicar® HCT from 2002 to 2008, and Azor® from 2007 to 2008, together with the drugs originator Sankyo under co-promotion agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
F-172
Forest received a subpoena dated May 6, 2013 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Tudorza Pressair, including with respect to speaker programs for this product. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
On February 20, 2014, Forest received a letter from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicating that the FTC is conducting a nonpublic investigation into our agreements with the ANDA filers for Bystolic®. On May 2, 2014, Forest received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC requesting documents regarding such agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the investigation.
On February 28, 2014, May 7, 2014, and May 29, 2014, Forest received Investigatory Subpoenas from the New York Attorney Generals Office primarily requesting (1) information regarding plans to discontinue the sale of Namenda® tablets and (2) the Companys agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic®. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
On September 12, 2014, Actavis received an investigatory subpoena from the Office of the U.S. Attorney of the District of South Carolina. The subpoena requests information and documents relating to certain categories of drug pricing including, but not limited to, Average Wholesale Price and Wholesale Acquisition Cost. The company intends to cooperate with this subpoena.
Paroxetine Investigation. On April 19, 2013, the Office of Fair Trading issued a Statement of Objections against GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and various generic drug companies, including Actavis UK Limited, formerly known as Alpharma Limited, now a subsidiary of the Company, alleging that GSKs settlements with such generic drug companies improperly delayed generic entry of paroxetine, in violation of the United Kingdoms competition laws. The Company has not yet responded to the Statement of Objections but believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the allegations. However, an adverse determination in the matter could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Governmental Reimbursement Investigations and Drug Pricing Litigation. In November 1999, Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc., now known as Actavis Pharma, Inc. was informed by the U.S. Department of Justice that it, along with numerous other pharmaceutical companies, is a defendant in a qui tam action brought in 1995 under the U.S. False Claims Act currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the Florida Qui Tam Action). The Company has not been served in the qui tam action. A qui tam action is a civil lawsuit brought by an individual or a company (the qui tam relator) for an alleged violation of a federal statute, in which the U.S. Department of Justice has the right to intervene and take over the prosecution of the lawsuit at its option. Pursuant to applicable federal law, the qui tam action is under seal as to Actavis, Inc. The Company believes that the qui tam action relates to whether allegedly improper price reporting by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to increased payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid. The Company believes that the Florida Qui Tam Action against the Company was dismissed without prejudice while still sealed as to the Company. Subsequently, the Company also received and responded to notices or subpoenas from the Attorneys General of various states, including Florida, Nevada, New York, California and Texas, relating to pharmaceutical pricing issues and whether allegedly improper actions by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to excessive payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid. On June 26, 2003, the Company received a request for records and information from the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce in connection with that committees investigation into pharmaceutical reimbursements and rebates under Medicaid. The Company produced documents in response to the request. Other state and federal inquiries regarding pricing and reimbursement issues are anticipated.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also are named as defendants in various lawsuits filed by numerous states and qui tam relators, including Wisconsin, Kentucky, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Utah, Kansas and Louisiana captioned as follows: State of Wisconsin v. Abbott Laboratories, et al., Case No. 04-cv-1709, Wisconsin Circuit Court for Dane County; State of Wisconsin, ex rel., et al. v. Actavis Mid Atlantic LLC, et al., Case No. 11-cv-5544, Wisconsin Circuit Court for Dane County; Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Alpharma, Inc., et al., Case Number 04-CI-1487, Kentucky Circuit Court for Franklin County; State
F-173
of Illinois v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 05-CH-02474, Illinois Circuit Court for Cook County; State of Mississippi v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. G2005-2021 S/2, Mississippi Chancery Court of Hinds County; State of Missouri ex rel. Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon v. Mylan Laboratories, et al, Case No. 054-2486, Missouri Circuit Court of St. Louis; State of South Carolina and Henry D. McMaster v. Watson Pharmaceuticals (New Jersey), Inc., In the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, State of South Carolina, County of Richland, C.A. No. 2006-CP-40-7152; State of South Carolina and Henry D. McMaster v. Watson Pharmaceuticals (New Jersey), Inc., In the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, State of South Carolina, County of Richland, C.A. No. 2006-CP-40-7155; State of Utah v. Actavis U.S., Inc., et al., In the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, Civil No. 07-0913719; State of Kansas ex rel. Steve Six v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Pharma, Inc., Case Number: 08CV2228, District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, Civil Court Department; and State of Louisiana V. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., et al., Case No. 596144, Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District.
In 2011, Watson settled certain claims made against it by a relator in a qui tam action brought against the Company on behalf of the United States. The settlement of that qui tam action resolved all claims on behalf of the United States asserted in that action except for claims relating to the federal share of Medicaid payments made by the States of Alabama, Alaska, Kentucky, Idaho, Illinois, South Carolina and Wisconsin. The Company subsequently settled all claims, including the claims on behalf of the United States, brought by Alabama. In addition, the Company has reached settlements with the states of the Louisiana, Missouri and Kansas and has an agreement in principle with the state of South Carolina though the Company has yet to reach definitive agreement with that state. The court in the Utah case recently dismissed that states claims against the Company. The case against Watson on behalf of Kentucky was tried in November 2011. The jury reached a verdict in Watsons favor on each of Kentuckys claims against Watson. An agreed form of judgment has been entered and the case now has been dismissed with prejudice. The case against Watson on behalf of Mississippi was tried from November 2012 through April 2013. On August 28, 2013, the court issued a ruling in favor of the state and awarded the state $12.4 million in compensatory damages and civil penalties, and on March 20, 2014 issued its ruling imposing an additional $17.9 million in punitive damages. Post-trial motions were filed and denied by the court. The Company intends to appeal both the original and punitive damage awards.
In addition, Forest and certain of its affiliates are defendants in four state court actions that allege that the plaintiffs (all governmental entities) were overcharged for their share of Medicaid drug reimbursement costs as a result of reporting by manufacturers of average wholesale prices (AWP) that did not correspond to actual provider costs of prescription drugs. These actions are pending in Illinois (commenced February 7, 2005), Mississippi (commenced October 20, 2005), Utah (commenced May 2008), and Wisconsin (a qui tam AWP action commenced by the former Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin on February 20, 2012 that the State declined to join). Discovery is ongoing in these actions. On November 15, 2013, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action moved for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. On March 26, 2014, the Mississippi state court granted plaintiffs motion in part, but denied plaintiffs request to add generic drug products to its claims. Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint. On May 21, 2014, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action filed a separate complaint asserting claims against Forest with respect to the pricing of its generic drugs, and Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of these claims. A trial in the Mississippi action is scheduled in August 2015. A motion to dismiss the Utah action was granted, but the Utah Supreme Court, while upholding the lower courts ruling regarding a statute of limitations issue, reversed that ruling and allowed the plaintiff to replead. The plaintiff filed another Amended Complaint, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This motion to dismiss was denied in part, and discovery is proceeding. On February 17, 2014, the Wisconsin state court granted defendants motion to dismiss plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. On April 14, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint, and on May 16, 2014, plaintiff filed an appeal of the courts February 17, 2014 ruling. On June 12, 2014, the court denied plaintiffs motion to file a Third Amended Complaint and dismissed the case without prejudice. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
F-174
With regard to the remaining drug pricing actions, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself in those actions. The Company continually monitors the status of these actions and may settle or otherwise resolve some or all of these matters on terms that the Company deems to be in its best interests. However, the Company can give no assurance that it will be able to settle the remaining actions on terms it deems reasonable, or that such settlements or adverse judgments in the remaining actions, if entered, will not exceed the amounts of the liability reserves. Additional actions by other states, cities and/or counties are anticipated. These actions and/or the actions described above, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Medicaid Drug Reimbursement Litigation. In December 2009, the Company learned that numerous pharmaceutical companies, including certain subsidiaries of the Company, were named as defendants in a qui tam action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (United States of America ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et. al., USDC Case No. 02-CV-11738-NG). The seventh amended complaint, which was served on certain of the Companys subsidiaries in December 2009, alleges that the defendants falsely reported to the United States that certain pharmaceutical products were eligible for Medicaid reimbursement and thereby allegedly caused false claims for payment to be made through the Medicaid program. In July 2011, the plaintiff served a tenth amended complaint that unseals the action in its entirety and continues to allege the previously asserted claims against certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Companys subsidiaries named in the action together with all other named defendants filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss the Tenth Amended Complaint on December 9, 2011. On February 25, 2013, the court granted the motion to dismiss as to all defendants. The plaintiff may appeal. On September 11, 2013, a similar action was filed against certain Company subsidiaries as well as Warner Chilcott and numerous other pharmaceutical company defendants by the State of Louisiana based on the same core set of allegations as asserted in the Conrad qui tam action. The state filed the case in state court and defendants removed it to the federal district court (Civ. No. 13-0681). On September 9, 2014, the magistrate judge in the case issued a report recommending that the case be remanded to state court. Plaintiffs motion to remand the case back to state court is still pending. Additional actions alleging similar claims could be asserted. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend itself against such allegations. However, these actions or similar actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Medicaid Price Adjustments
The Company has notified the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that certain of the legacy Actavis groups Medicaid price submissions require adjustment for the period 2007 through 2012. The Company is in the process of completing the resubmissions. Based on prevailing CMS practices the Company does not expect to incur penalties in connection with the resubmissions. With respect to periods prior to 2007, the Company has advised CMS that its records are insufficient to support a reliable recalculation of its price submissions, and has proposed not to recalculate the price submissions for such periods. Because there are insufficient records to support a reliable recalculation of its price submissions prior to 2007, at this time the amount of any potential liability related to the price submissions prior to 2007 is not estimatable and the Company has not concluded that any liability for periods prior to 2007 is probable. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious positions and defenses with respect to these pricing resubmission matters. However, if CMS were to successfully pursue claims against the Company for the periods in question, such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company and its affiliates are involved in various other disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquires, investigations and proceedings that could result in litigation, and other litigation matters that arise from time to time. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Board of Directors of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l.
We have audited the accompanying Combined Statements of Financial Position of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis Sŕ.r.l (the Company) as of 31 December 2011 and 2010 and the related Combined Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Changes in Equity for the years then ended. These Combined Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Actavis Acquisition Debt S.ŕ r.ls management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Combined Financial Statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall Financial Statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Combined Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the Combined Financial Position of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l as of 31 December 2011 and 2010, and the results of their Combined Operations and their Combined Cash Flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-191 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
1. | Description of business |
On April 25, 2012, Actavis Acquisition Debt S.à r.l. (Actavis) entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. to sell Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. (hereinafter referred to as the Company) (see note 35).
| Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland; and |
| Actavis S.à r.l. is incorporated as a Société à Responsabilité Limitée under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on 5th August, 2010. |
These historical Combined Financial Statements of the Company present the historical financial position and results of operations of these entities on a combined basis. These Combined Financial Statements were authorized for issuance on 20 June 2012 by the Board of Directors of the companies.
The Company specialises in the development, manufacturing and sale of generic pharmaceuticals in international markets and employees a total workforce of around 10,500 located in over 40 countries. The principal markets include USA, the United Kingdom, Nordic countries, Russia, Ukraine and Spain. The Companys research and development facilities are located in Iceland, Malta, Indonesia, Romania, Italy, Bulgaria and the United States. The Company maintains modern manufacturing and packaging facilities in Bulgaria, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malta, Romania, Russia, Serbia, UK, Netherlands and the United States. These plants produce a range of medicines in various formulations, including tablets, capsules, injectables, suppositories, sprays, steriles, powders, oral liquids and semi-solids.
2. | Basis of preparation |
The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivatives which are valued at fair value and defined benefit obligations which are recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligations less the net total of the plan assets and less unrecognised past service cost.
These Combined Financial Statements have been prepared from the Consolidated Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. together with the Financial Statements of Actavis S.à r.l. and reflect the cash flows, revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities of these entities on a combined basis. During the years 2011/2010 the Company operated as two legal entities each with separate shareholders equity. Owners Equity is therefore presented in lieu of combined shareholders equity representing the cumulative net investment by the combined shareholders of the Company.
Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. are both controlled by Actavis Acquisition Debt S.à r.l. which fully owns the shares of the companys. The ultimate controlling party of the combined company is Mr. Thor Bjorgolfsson.
During the years 2011/2010 the Company was dependent on funding provided by third party investors to intermediate parent companies within the Actavis Equity S.à r.l. group. This funding was made available to the Company through related party loan agreements between subsidiaries of the Company and various intermediate parent companies. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-192 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
since, as set out in Note 20, the Companys projected cash flows are sufficient to cover the interest payments on these related party loan agreements until the maturity date of 30 June 2013, and the Company expects to achieve either a refinancing or an alternative financing solution before such date.
A list of the entities included in the Combined Financial Statements including joint-ventures is presented in Notes 34 and 15. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the Combined Financial Statements of the Company.
Presentation currency
These Combined Financial Statements are presented in Euro. All financial information presented in Euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about the carrying values af assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the Combined Financial Statements are described in the following notes:
| Note 12 Measurement of the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units |
| Note 13 Capitalisation of internally generated intangible assets |
| Note 16 Measurement of the cost of inventories |
| Note 17 Measurement of recoverable amounts of trade receivables |
| Note 24 Measurement of deferred tax assets |
| Note 26 Estimate of provisions |
3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Combined Financial Statements, and have been applied consistently by entities of the company.
Business combinations
Business combinations undertaken by the Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. group have been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised). These transactions are reflected in accordance with the following accounting policy.
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-193 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Company takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.
The Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
| the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus |
| the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, plus |
| if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, less |
| the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. |
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts generally are recognised in the Income Statement.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the Income Statement.
When share-based payment afterwards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquirees employees (acquirees awards) and relate to past services, the all or a portion of the amount of the acquirers replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based value of the replacement awards compared with the market-based value of the acquirees awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to past and/or future service.
For acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Companys interest in the recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess was negative, a bargain purchase gain was recognised immediately in the Income Statement.
Transaction costs, other that those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurred in connection with business combinations were capitalised as part of the cost of the acquisition.
As part of its transition to IFRSs, the Company elected to restate only those business combinations that occurred on or after 1 January 2003. In respect of acquisitions prior to 1 January 2003, goodwill represents the amount recognised under the Companys previous accounting framework, Icelandic GAAP.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
Acquisitions of non-controlling interest
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
Subsidiaries
As described in note 2, the Combined Financial Statements of the Company include the Consolidated Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. Subsidiaries are those entities that are controlled by Actavis Pharma 4 ehf. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The subsidiaries are fully consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and, therefore, are also consolidated in the Combined Financial Statements of the Company. When the Companys ownership in subsidiaries is less than 100%, non-controlling interests proportionate share of the subsidiaries results and equity is adjusted on an annual basis and shown as separate items in the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Income Statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by the Company.
iv) Investments in equity accounted investees
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.
Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The Companys investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Combined Financial Statements include the Companys share of the income and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Companys share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the Income Statement.
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-195 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
On combination, the assets and liabilities of the Companys subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as other comprehensive income and transferred to the Companys share capital, premium and other reserves. Such translation differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which the operation is disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities of foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.
Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates and excluding sales and value added taxes. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible returns of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Payments received from customers in advance of performance of the Companys obligations are included as deferred revenue and are not recognised as income until the obligations have been fulfilled.
Sale of dossiers is the sale of intellectual property which is proprietary scientific and medical information and technical data invented, developed or acquired by the Company. Other revenue represents sales not related to any production activity.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in respect of goods and services received when supplied in accordance with contractual terms. Provision is made when an obligation exists for a future liability in respect of a past event and where the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Advertising and promotion expenditure is charged to the Income Statement as incurred. Shipment cost on intercompany transfers are charged to cost of sales; distribution costs on sales to customers are included in sales and marketing expenditure. Restructuring costs are recognised in respect of the direct expenditure of a business reorganisation where the plans are sufficiently detailed and well advanced, and where appropriate communication to those affected has been undertaken.
Research and development
Research and development expenditure charged to the Income Statement consists mainly of maintenance costs for the current commercial portfolio and startup expenses for new development projects. Maintenance costs are mainly annual fees, variations and other such costs related to servicing the portfolio currently on the market. Costs for new development projects is expensed up to the point that they are formally approved for development, from that point all costs are capitalised until the product is launched in a main market.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-196 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income and changes in the fair value of derivatives. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Companys right to receive payment is established.
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on loans and borrowings, finance leases, retirement obligation, unwinding of the discount on provisions and changes in the fair value of derivatives. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in the Income Statement using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as separate item in the Income Statement.
Income tax
Income tax comprises tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Income Statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Companys liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries, except where the Company is not able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future benefits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

F-197 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Companys business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative Income Statement and Cash Flow is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
Goodwill
Goodwill (negative goodwill) arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Companys interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.
i) Subsequent measurement
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets
i) Development cost
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if it can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour costs, contract services and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in the Income Statement when incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
ii) Product acquisitions
Product acquisitions include fully developed product design and In-licensed products, which are acquired from an independent third party, and have already been established as technically and commercially feasible. The capitalized expenditure consists of the purchase price and other direct cost associated with the acquisition. Product acquisition is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

F-198 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
iii) Customer relationships and trademarks
Customer relationships and trademarks that have been acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
iv) Software
Software includes computer programs, databases and software development, where the software is not an integral part of the related hardware. If a computer software is integral to the functionality of the related equipment it is capitalised as part of that equipment. Software is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
v) Other intangibles
Other intangibles are non-specific intangible assets that are capitalized only if they can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour costs, contract services and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.
Other intangibles are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
vi) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in the Income Statement when incurred.
vii) Amortisation
Amortisation is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date they are available for use. The amortisation rates used for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Development cost |
10 - 35 | % | ||
Customer relationship |
5 - 15 | % | ||
Trademark |
10 - 25 | % | ||
Software |
20 - 33 | % | ||
Other intangibles |
3 - 33 | % |
Property, plant and equipment
i) Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost of self-constructed property, plant and equipment is calculated on the basis of directly attributable costs as well as an appropriate share of overheads.
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-199 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
ii) Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
iii) Depreciation
The depreciable amount of assets is allocated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date. The depreciation for each year is recognised as an expense based on the following depreciation rates:
Property and plant |
2 - 10 | % | ||
Machinery and equipment |
10 - 33 | % | ||
Fixtures and office equipment |
10 - 33 | % | ||
Vehicles |
10 - 20 | % |
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or the lease term, if shorter.
Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability is included in the Statement of Financial Position as an obligation under finance leases. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Other leases are classified as operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised on the Companys Statement of Financial Position.
Impairment
i) Financial assets
A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flow of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
All impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is recognised in the Income Statement.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
ii) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Companys non-current assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and other intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that is largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the units (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overhead expenses that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Financial instruments
i) Non derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost applying the effective interest method less any impairment losses.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Companys contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Company transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining

F-201 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date; i.e., the date that the Company commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Companys obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
ii) Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. The principal derivative instruments used by the Company are interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the Income Statement. Derivatives with positive fair value are recognised as assets and derivatives with negative fair value are recognised as liabilities.
Hedge accounting is not applied to derivative instruments that economically hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognised in the Income Statement as part of foreign currency gains and losses.
iii) Equity attributable to owners of the Combined Company
a) Common shares
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity.
b) Repurchase of share capital
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable cost, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. Gains or losses on the purchase or sale of treasury shares are not recognised in the Income Statement.
c) Dividend
Dividend is recognised as a liability when approved by the Companys shareholders.
Employee benefits
i) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a seperate entity and has no legal or contructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the Income Statement in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
ii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.

F-202 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
The Companys net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rates used have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Companys obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary, using the projected unit credit method. The Company immediately recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised when the Company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring which has been notified to affected parties. Legal provisions are recognised to cover possible losses due to court cases.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these Combined Financial Statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the Combined Financial Statements of the Company.
4. | Determination of fair values |
A number of the Companys accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to the asset or liability in question.
Intangible assets
The fair value of patents and trademarks acquired in a business combination is based on the discounted estimated royalty payments that have been avoided as a result of the patent or trademark being owned. The fair value of other intangible assets is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the assets.
Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms-length transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventory.
Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
Derivatives
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.
5. | Exchange rates |

11. | Discontinued operations |
In 2011, cost amounting to EUR 630 thousand which are directly attributable to the sale of Higia AG in Bulgaria, which took place in 2009 was expensed as discontinued operations. In July 2010 a former disposed subsidiary, Colotech A/S in Denmark, was acquired back from a related party as part of the financial restructuring of the Company. At year-end 2010 Colotech A/S received the interim result from the clinical trial that had been ongoing for the past 3-4 years. The results were not positive and therefore the management decided to close down the company. As a result the operations in 2010 were treated as discontinued operations and all assets were fully written off and the related close-down cost accrued.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Companys five cash-generating units (CGU) which represents the lowest level within the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The five CGUs consist of the 4 geographical markets CEE (Central and Eastern Europe), NA (Northern America), OM (Other Markets), WE (Western Europe) and the operating Segment Third Party sales. The Third Party sales segment provides solutions to other pharmaceutical firms that choose to focus efforts on sales and marketing of products. These Third party companies then sell the products, which have been developed and produced by Actavis, to wholesalers, retail and government customers in many different countries, but predominantly in the European countries.

The Company tests goodwill on an annual basis for impairment. If there are any indications that goodwill might be impaired, tests are made on a more frequent basis.
The impairment test for cash-generating units compares their recoverable amount with the carrying amount of the individual cash-generating units. The recoverable amount for all of the Companys five cash-generating units was based on their value in use. None of the Companys CGUs had carrying amounts that exceeded their recoverable amounts and therefore no impairment loss was recognised in the Income Statement (2010: nil).
Value in use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the unit and was based on the following key assumptions:
| Cash flow forecasts were projected based on actual operating results and a three year business plan presented to and reviewed by the board, extrapolated out to five years using forecast growth rates. The forecast growth rates are based on past performance and managements expectations for future performance in each CGU. Expected cash flows into the future were extrapolated using a constant growth rate. |
| The cost of capital is calculated on the basis of weighted average cost of equity and debt capital. The capital structure is determined by benchmarking against comparable companies in the same industry sector. The cost of equity corresponds to the return expected by stockholders, while the cost of debt is based on the conditions on which comparable companies can obtain long-term financing. Both components are derived from capital market information. |
| The values assigned to the key assumptions represent managements assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on both external sources and internal sources (historical data). Value in use was based on the following key assumptions: |

Change in classification
During the current year the Company changed the classification of software. At year-end 2010 software was classified as tangible assets, either fixtures and office equipment or machinery and equipment, depending on the type of the software. At 1 January 2011 software is classified as intangible assets.
Commitments
The Company has made various In-licensing agreements for products where payments are triggered when certain milestones have been met. Due to uncertainty about the possible outflow, the obligations are classified as contingent liabilities and not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position. If milestone payments become payable they are capitalized on the relevant product under intangible assets.
Security
At 31 December 2011 other intangible assets with a carrying amount of EUR 665,009 thousand (2010: EUR 626,568 thousand) are pledged to secure long term loans and borrowings (see note 20).

Actuarial assumptions
Actuarial assumptions are unbiased and mutually compatible estimates of variables that determine the ultimate cost of providing post-employment benefits. They are set on an annual basis by local management and the Company entities actuaries. Actuarial assumptions consist of demographic assumptions on matters such as mortality and employee turnover, and financial assumptions on matters such as salary and benefit levels, interest rates and return on investments.

F-221 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
The most significant demographic assumptions for pensions relate to mortality rates. The Companys actuaries use mortality tables which take into account historic patterns and expected changes, such as further increases in longevity. The mortality tables used for the major pension plans are:
| United Kingdom: S1PMA (males) and S1PFA (females). Future improvements: medium cohort projection with a minimum long-term rate of improvement of 1.5% pr. annum. |
| Germany: Richttafeln (Heubeck) tables 2005G. |
| Netherlands: AG Prognosetafel 2010-2060 with TW 2010 experience study adjustment. |
Rates of employee turnover, disability and early retirement are based on historical behaviour within Company entities.

27. | Acquisition of subsidiaries |
At the end of November 2011 the Company acquired 100% of the shares in PharmaPack International B.V. PharmaPack is based in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, and is a specialist in packaging pharmaceuticals as well as biotechnological products. The company has extensive experience with product, organisational and country-specific packaging requirements and has been involved in the pharmaceutical service industry for almost 30 years.
The acquisition price amounted to EUR 10,000 thousand but goodwill arising on the acquisition, EUR 6,311 thousand, reflects the potential product growth and the expected synergies for the Company. The acquired operations had a turnover of EUR 424 thousand and a profit after tax of EUR 2 thousand during the period since acquisition and are included in the Company accounts.
In accordance with the relevant IFRS standard, the Company has carried out an assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses. The difference between the sum of the fair values less liabilities and the purchase price paid is accounted for as goodwill at the time of acquisition, and is subject to an annual impairment test.
During the year the final earn-out payment relating to the acquisition of Abrika (Actavis South Atlantic LLC) was paid. The amount was EUR 16.8 million (2010: EUR 40.3 million).

28. | Cash flow statement |
The Cash Flow Statement shows how the liquidity of Actavis was affected by the inflow and outflow of cash and cash equivalents during the year. The effects of changes in the scope of combination are eliminated. Cash flows are classified by operating, investing and financing activities. The cash and cash equivalents shown in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash, balances with banks and short term deposits.
The amounts reported by combined companies outside of Euro zone are translated at monthly averages, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which are translated at closing rates as in the Statement of Financial Position. The effect of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents is shown separately.
Significant non-cash transactions
During the year the Company acquired equipment in the amount of EUR 9.8 millions under a finance lease (2010: EUR 6.7 millions). Those acquisitions will be reflected in the cash flow statement over the term of the finance lease via lease repayments.
29. | Financial instruments and associated risks |
Risk management
Financial risk
The principal objective of financial risk management at Actavis is to monitor the Companys aggregated financial risk arising from its day-to-day operations and to initiate actions to limit exposure and enhance financial stability. Actavis follows strict financial risk management guidelines and regulations in areas such as foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity and credit risk. The policies cover credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The policies provide guidance on risk limits, type of authorised financial instruments and monitoring procedures. As a general principle, the policies prohibit the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
The Companys financial risk management function is centralised through the Corporate Treasury Department. All aggregated risks are identified regularly, evaluated and, if relevant, hedged at top Company level. Centralising tasks ensures that funding is cost-efficient; an internal bank is operated for all legal entities.
a) Foreign exchange risk
The Company operates across the world and is exposed to movements in foreign currencies affecting the Company financial result and the value of Companys equity. Foreign exchange risk arises because the amount of local currency paid or received for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates (transaction exposures) and because foreign currency denominated financial statements of the Companys foreign subsidiaries may vary upon combination into the Euro denominated Combined Financial Statements (translation exposures).
The objective of the Companys foreign exchange risk management activities is to preserve the economic value of its current and future assets and to minimise the volatility of the Companys financial result. The
Combined Financial Statements of Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. 2011 and 2010 |
F-227 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
primary focus of the Companys foreign exchange risk activities is on hedging transaction exposures arising through foreign currency flows or monetary positions held in foreign currencies. The Company does not currently hedge translation exposures using financial instruments.
The Company monitors transaction exposures on a monthly basis. The net foreign exchange result and the corresponding VaR parameters are monetored on a regurarly basis. The Company uses forward contracts to hedge transaction exposures. Application of these instruments intends to continuously lock in favourable developments of foreign exchange rates, thereby reducing the exposure to potential future movements in such rates.
The Company uses Value-at-Risk (VaR) to measure the impact of foreign exchange risk on its financial instruments. VaR data is monetored on a regularly basis and indicates the value range within which financial assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currency, will fluctuate with a pre-set probability as a result of movements in market prices. VaR is a statistical measure which implicitly assumes that value changes of the recent past are indicative of value changes in the future. VaR figures do not represent actual or expected losses, or possible worst-case losses over the stated period.
VaR figures are calculated using variance-covariance approach. For each scenario, all financial instruments are fully valued and the total change in value and earnings is determined. All VaR calculations are based on a 95% confidence level and a holding period of 10 trading days over the past 3 years. This holding period reflects the time required to change the corresponding risk exposure, should this be deemed appropriate. Longer holding periods increase the probability of higher value changes and lead to increased VaR figures.
Actual future gains or losses with treasury activities may differ materially from the VaR analyses performed due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the timing and amount of changes to foreign exchange rates particularly in high market volatilities. Furthermore, the VaR numbers do not include a credit risk component.
At 31 December 2011, the total VaR of Actavis financial assets and liabilities portfolio was EUR 9.8 million (2010: EUR 9.7 million) corresponding to 2.1% (2010: 2.1%) of the overall portfolio at risk over the designated holding period.
b) Interest rate risk
The Companys interest bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. Predominantly this risk relates to variable Euro interest rates but also to a lesser extent variable U.S. dollar rates. To manage this risk, Actavis has entered into interest rate SWAP agreements in which it exchanges periodic payments based on notional amount and agrees upon fixed and variable interest rates. At 24 November 2010 Actavis entered into interest rate swap agreements of USD 200 million effectively fixing the 3 month Libor rates of USD loans to 1.623% and EUR 1,000 millions effectively fixing the Companys 3M Euribor rates to 1.3715%.
c) Credit risk
Credit risk on Trade and other receivables is not considered to be material as Actavis has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure being spread over a large number of counter-parties and customers. The Company minimises its credit risk by monitoring credit granted to customers, and it assigns collateral to cover potential claims. The majority of routine customer credit decisions are made at local

F-228 | Amounts are in thousands of Euro |
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
market level, in order to make use of local expertise, and subject to predefined policy and authority limits. A consistent Company Credit Policy is applied at each entity, with further requirements as stipulated by local market conditions. All entities are required to report all significant changes in credit risk to the Company. In addition, any credit decisions that exceed the defined local limits require authorisation at corporate level.
The policy ensures that credit to customers without an appropriate credit history is supported by guarantees. In recent years, the application of these policies to all entities, combined with active monitoring at Company level, has resulted in the Companys experiencing only minor credit losses. Actavis maintains a strict credit process and evaluation of counterparties. This, together with an equally strict general policy, helps contain credit losses at a low level.
In 2011 credit losses were non material.

Counterparty risk
Actavis minimizes the issuer risk of settlement derivative and money market contracts and credit on liquid fund deposits, by only dealing with creditworthy banks or financial institutions. These institutions are closely monitored by the Company based on their credit rating and outlook.
Liquidity risk
Actavis ensures availability of required liquidity through a combination of cash management and committed facilities. Actavis uses cash pools for optimisation and centralisation of cash management. For non-cash pool affiliates, surplus cash above the balance required for working capital management is deposited centrally. At year end 2011 the Company had EUR 104.1 million (2010: EUR 87.4 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities of the company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, which includes loans and borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company, compromising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Companys management continuously reviews the capital structure. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital. The Company monitors capital on the basis of gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total loans and borrowings (including current and non-current loans and borrowing) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the Combined Statement of Financial Position plus net debt.

The Company has made various In-licensing agreements for products where payments are triggered when certain milestones have been met. Due to uncertainty about the possible outflow, the obligations are classified as contingent liabilities and not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position. If milestone payments become payable they are capitalized on the relevant product under intangible assets.
32. | Contingent liabilities |
Two of the Companys US subsidiaries, Actavis Elizabeth LLC and Actavis MidAtlantic LLC, are among a large number of drug companies that have been sued in cases alleging fraudulent pricing practices. One or more of the Companys US subsidiaries are parties to such cases brought by the Attorneys General of Illinois and Wisconsin. The main allegation in these cases is that the defendants caused the States to overpay pharmacies and other providers for prescription drugs under the state Medicaid Program by inflating the reported Average Wholesale Price or Wholesale Acquisition Cost. At this juncture, these cases have not yet reached the point of adjudicating the merits of the claims against the Actavis entities. Similar actions, brought by the States of Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, New York and the various Counties of the City of New York and by the United States government through a private relator have been settled by Actavis for USD 230.9 million, USD 115.5 million of which was paid in 2011, USD 49.3 million of which is payable in 2012, USD 36.2 million in 2013 and USD 29.9 million in 2014.

tablets. Actavis Elizabeth LLC succeeded in a first-instance summary judgement decision before the district court of New Jersey. The judge ruled that Pfizer was not able to establish that the Actavis Elizabeth LLC Gabapentin product infringed the patent. This decision was reversed by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals who remanded the matter back to the district court for a full trial on the merits. A trial started in May 2011, but the case was settled by the parties out of court on 31 May 2011.
Actavis is involved in a number of patent litigation which is usual for the industry and in some instances the products concerned are sold on the market even when there has been no final resolution of the patent situation.
Furthermore there are some ongoing product liability suits in USA. In most of the cases, Actavis has product liability insurance that indemnifies the company against any legal costs and/or claims connected with these cases in excess of the applicable deductible.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
subordinated debt financing to the Parent companies as well as a new Payment in Kind (PIK) financing arrangement with the Company. The terms of the subordinated financing arrangement resulted in Deutsche Bank having a significant influence over Actavis Equity S.à r.l. (Actavis Equity), who through its subsidiaries owns all outstanding shares in Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf.
The terms of the subordinated financing arrangement give Deutsche Bank certain non-controlling rights, consents and vetoes over certain financial and operating decisions of Actavis Equity. In addition, the terms of the subordinated financing arrangement subordinate repayments of amounts owing where the Parent companies are unable to pay their debts or on the sale of Actavis Equity or its subsidiaries.
The terms of the PIK financing arrangement also provide for the subordination of amounts owed to Deutsche Bank (in the form of interest or repayment premium) under such arrangements where the Parent company is unable to pay its debts or on the sale of Actavis Equity or its subsidiaries.
To secure the banking facilities with Deutsche Bank, the Company has pledged certain assets on behalf of its Parent company (see note 20).
There have been no transactions and balances with other related parties.

35. | Subsequent events |
Actavis and Bioton announced at 30 January 2012 that they had formed a joint venture company for the development and registration of insulins, including analogue insulins. Within the framework of the joint-venture, Bioton will be responsible for the development and manufacture of insulin products, while Actavis will be granted an exclusive licence to commercialise those products under the Actavis brand throughout the European Union and the United States of America, as well as in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Iceland, Japan, Kosovo, Lichtenstein, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia and Switzerland. In Poland, both companies will offer the insulin products under their respective brands, Bioton being a Polish company. Actavis has agreed to pay to Bioton an aggregate amount of up to EUR 55.5 million, of which EUR 22.25 million was paid on 30 January 2012. The remainder, EUR 33.25 million, will be paid in instalments in accordance with agreed milestones relating to the registration process involving recombinant human insulin (RHI).
During February 2012, settlements were reached with the States of Oklahoma and Kansas in the Average Wholesaler Pricing litigation in USA as described in note 32. Total payment for these settlements was USD 3.4 million and this has been paid in 2012. This amount is included in the totals as described in note 32.
A settlement has been agreed with the State of Illinois on AWP in March 2012, with USD 5.2 million paid in March 2012 and four installments of USD 5.2 million each to be paid on each of 1 August 2012, 21 March 2013, 21 March 2014 and 21 March 2015. These amounts are in addition to the amounts set out in note 32.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
On April 25, 2012, Actavis Acquisition Debt S.à r.l. entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. to sell Actavis Pharma Holding 4 ehf. and Actavis S.à r.l. In the coming months, the transaction will be reviewed by regulators in the U.S. as well as by relevant jurisdictions in Europe. Following the successful completion of these reviews, the closing of the transaction is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2012. In the meantime, the two companies will continue to operate separately.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Watson will acquire Actavis for approximately EUR 4.25 billion. The total consideration will include a cash payment of approximately EUR 4.15 billion, as well as the assumption of a maximum of EUR 100 million in revolver debt, which is to be repaid at closing. Actavis stakeholders could also receive additional consideration, contingent upon the company achieving negotiated levels of 2012 results. The contingent payment, if fully earned would result in the delivery of up to 5.5 million shares of Watson common stock. This contingent payment was valued during the negotiations at EUR 250 million, based on a per share price of $60, using a Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate of $1.32. The shares granted, if any, would be issued in 2013.

WARNER CHILCOTT PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions except share amounts, per share amounts or unless otherwise noted)
Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company is an Irish public limited company, which together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Warner Chilcott, or the Company) has operations in the United States (U.S.), Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom (UK), the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada and many other Western European countries. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31.
The Company is a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on the womens healthcare, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America. The Company is fully integrated with internal resources dedicated to the development, manufacture and promotion of its products. The Companys portfolio of pharmaceutical products is promoted primarily in the United States by the Companys sales and marketing organization. The Company has manufacturing capabilities in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Larne, Northern Ireland and Weiterstadt, Germany.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. The consolidated financial information for the Company presented herein reflects all financial information that is, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Acquisitions
The consolidated financial statements reflect the acquisition of an acquired business, including the Companys acquisition from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) on October 30, 2009 of P&Gs global branded pharmaceuticals business (PGP) (such acquisition, the PGP Acquisition), after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When the Company has acquired net assets that do not constitute a business under U.S. GAAP, no goodwill has been recognized.
Reclassifications
The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial position at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-244
Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based on such periodic evaluations.
Foreign Currency
The Company has operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada and many other Western European countries. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders (deficit) / equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive (loss).
The Company realizes foreign currency gains / (losses) in the normal course of business based on movement in the applicable exchange rates. These gains / (losses) are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: trade discounts, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee for service arrangements with certain distributors. The Company establishes provisions for its sales-related deductions in the same period that it recognizes the related gross sales based on select criteria for estimating such contra revenues including, but not limited to: contract terms, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, costs related to the programs and other historical data. These reserves reduce revenues and are included as either a reduction of accounts receivable or as a component of liabilities. No material revisions were made to the methodology used in determining these reserves during the year ended December 31, 2012.
In the United States, the Company records provisions for Medicaid, Medicare, government and managed care rebates based upon its historical experience of rebates paid, contractual terms and actual prescriptions written. The Company applies the historical experience to the respective periods sales to determine the ending liability and related contra revenue amount. This estimated provision is evaluated regularly to ensure that the historical trends are as current as practicable as well as to factor in changes relating to new products, contractual terms, discount rates, selling price changes, pipeline movements, generic launches, and regulatory changes. When new regulatory changes impact its rebates, the Company estimates the impact based on the application of historical data to the provisions of the new requirements. As appropriate, the Company will adjust the estimated discounts to better match its current experience or its expected future experience.
In early 2010, the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 was signed into law. This statute impacts the Companys net sales by increasing certain rebates it pays per prescription, most notably managed Medicaid rebates and the Medicare Part D, or donut hole rebates. Included in the provisions recorded to reduce gross sales to net sales are the current provisions related to sales due to the increased Medicaid rebates and donut hole rebates, which totaled $56, $77 and $26 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In the United States, the Company offers customer loyalty card programs on certain key products, the most significant of which are DORYX 150 and LOESTRIN 24 FE. These customer loyalty programs either cap the per prescription co-pay amount paid by the Companys ultimate customers or reduce the amount paid by its ultimate customers. The costs incurred by the Company in connection with the customer loyalty programs are
F-245
considered sales-related deductions which are included as a component of reported net sales. The Company estimates the liabilities for these programs based on estimated redemption rates, costs per redemption, contractual program terms and other historical data.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amounts related to all sales-related deductions included as a reduction of accounts receivable were $31 and $41, respectively. The amounts included in liabilities were $434 (of which $118 related to reserves for product returns) and $542 (of which $131 related to reserves for product returns) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The provisions recorded to reduce gross sales to net sales were $859, $949 and $1,035 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Company recognizes revenue related to its intellectual property licensed to third-parties, based on third-party sales as earned, in accordance with contractual terms when the third-party sales can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. These amounts are included as a component of other revenue. The Company also has agreements with other pharmaceutical companies to co-promote certain products. Revenues and related product costs are recognized on a gross basis in transactions where the Company is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Revenues earned based upon a percentage of the co-promotion partners net sales are recognized, on a net basis, when the co-promotion partners have shipped the related products and title passes to their customers. Contractual payments due to co-promotion partners are included within SG&A expense and contractual payments due from co-promotion partners are included within other revenue. Total other revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $66, $91 and $170, respectively. Primarily as a result of the ENABLEX Acquisition (as defined in Note 4), the Companys other revenue has decreased from the year ended December 31, 2010 while ENABLEX product net sales have increased.
Advertising and Promotion (A&P)
Costs associated with A&P of the Companys products are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses. A&P expenses totaled $90, $149 and $123 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Included in A&P are direct-to-consumer advertising expenses which totaled $0, $21 and $11 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and Development (R&D)
R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Milestone payments made to third parties in connection with R&D collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Milestone payments made to third parties subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the respective intangible asset based on future use and anticipated cash flows for the asset. Amounts capitalized for such payments are included in intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805 Business Combinations (ASC 805), the Company capitalizes in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired through the acquisition of a business as part of non-amortizable intangible assets. These costs will begin to be amortized if the associated regulatory approval is received. If regulatory approval is not received, and the R&D study is considered to be no longer viable, the IPR&D would be considered impaired. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no IPR&D.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-246
Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. Additionally, the Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need to record a liability for contingencies on a case-by-case basis in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (ASC 450). Accruals are recorded when the Company determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. As discussed in Note 16, the Company recorded a charge in the year ended December 31, 2012 relating to its DORYX patent litigation in accordance with ASC 450 in the amount of $6.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and in money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined based on a first-in, first-out basis and includes transportation and handling costs. In the case of manufactured products, cost includes material, labor and applicable manufacturing overhead. Provisions are made for obsolete, slow moving or defective items, where appropriate. As of December 31, 2009, the Companys inventory included a fair value purchase accounting step-up of $106 relating to the inventory acquired as part of the PGP Acquisition. The statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 included the costs associated with the sell through of the inventory step-up of $106.
Product samples are stated at cost and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost plus any direct expenses of acquisition. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally using the straight-line method. Interest incurred as part of the cost of constructing fixed assets is capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset. No depreciation is charged on land. The Company utilizes licensed software as part of its operating environment. The costs of licensing and implementing enterprise resource planning software are capitalized up to the point of implementation and then amortized over the estimated useful life of the software in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.
The Companys policy is to calculate depreciation based on the assets estimated useful life (in years):

Plant and machinery |

Computer equipment and software |

Furniture and fixtures |

Intangible Assets and Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 805, net assets of businesses acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition. As such, the historical cost basis of individual acquired assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their fair value on the date of acquisition. The Companys intangible assets primarily relate
F-247
to marketed products. Identifiable intangible assets such as those related to marketed products, are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company believes the fair values assigned to its acquired intangible assets are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions given the available facts and circumstances as of the acquisition dates. Discounted cash flow models are used in valuing these intangible assets, and these models require the use of significant estimates and market participant assumptions including but not limited to:
| estimates of revenues and operating profits related to the products or product candidates, including the impact of competition in the marketplace; |
| the probability of success for unapproved product candidates (IPR&D) considering their stages of development; |
| the time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of product candidates; |
| the life of the potential commercialized products and associated risks, including the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in developing a product candidate such as obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory approvals; and |
| risks related to the viability of and potential alternative treatments in any future target markets. |
Identified intangible assets, other than indefinite-lived intangible assets, are amortized using an economic benefit model or on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. This determination is made based on the specific asset and the timing of recoverability from expected future cash flows. The majority of the Companys identifiable intangible assets are owned by its Puerto Rican subsidiary. The Company continually reviews and assesses the long range cash flow forecast for all its products. As a result of changing assumptions in the evaluation of the recoverability of intangible assets, some assets may be impaired and some assets which are not impaired may be subject to a change in amortization recognized in future periods to better match expected future cash flows.
Based on the Companys review of future cash flows, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $106 in the year ended December 31, 2012, $101 of which was attributable to the impairment of the Companys DORYX intangible asset following the April 30, 2012 decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey holding that neither Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.s (Mylan) nor Impax Laboratories, Inc.s (Impax) proposed generic version of DORYX 150 infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,958,161 covering DORYX 150 (the 161 Patent) and Mylans subsequent introduction of a generic product in early May 2012. For a discussion of the DORYX patent litigation and the Companys other ongoing patent litigation, refer to Note 16.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of the net assets of the businesses purchased. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. This analysis is performed at the reporting unit level. The fair value of the Companys reporting unit is compared with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill as defined in ASC Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and other, (ASC 350) is compared with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss would be recorded if the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company has one reporting unit where goodwill resides and performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2012, noting no impairment.
Definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying value of an intangible asset was not recoverable. The carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted net cash inflows expected to be generated by the asset. The Companys intangible assets consist of trademarks, patents and other
F-248
intellectual property and are amortized using either an economic benefit model or on a straight-line basis over the individual assets estimated useful life not to exceed 15 years. The economic benefit model is based on the expected future cash flows and typically results in accelerated amortization for most of the Companys products. As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average amortization period of intangible assets was approximately 4 years. In addition, the Company has valued a trademark with an indefinite life which is not amortized; however, the carrying value would be adjusted if it were determined that the fair value had declined. The Company performs an impairment test annually on this trademark. The Company performed its annual impairment test on this trademark in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2012, noting no impairment. The Company continuously reviews its definite-lived intangible assets remaining useful lives based on their estimated future cash flows.
Deferred Loan Costs
Expenses associated with the issuance of indebtedness are capitalized and amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the respective financing arrangements using the effective interest method. In the event that long-term debt is prepaid, the deferred loan costs associated with such indebtedness are expensed as a component of interest expense in the period in which such prepayment is made. Interest expense resulting from the amortization and write-offs of deferred loan costs amounted to $36, $110 and $65 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2012 included $11 of write-offs of deferred loan costs in connection with the amendment to the credit agreement governing the Companys Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 13) in August 2012 due to such amendment being deemed a debt modification requiring debt extinguishment treatment in accordance with ASC Topic 405-20 Extinguishment of Liabilities. The year ended December 31, 2011 included $77 of write-offs of deferred loan costs in connection with the repayment and termination of the Companys Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 13). In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid and capitalized $15 and $51, respectively, in connection with the incurrence of new indebtedness under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as further discussed in Note 13. Aggregate deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $80 and $100 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $16 and $19 were included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively, and $64 and $81 were recorded in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Restructuring Costs
The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, employee severance costs are accrued when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Curtailment (gains) / losses associated with defined benefit arrangements for severed employees are recognized in accordance with ASC 715 CompensationRetirement Benefits. See Note 3 for more information.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718 CompensationStock Compensation, (ASC 718) which requires that new, modified and unvested share-based compensation arrangements with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock grants, and their equivalent, be measured at fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting periods.
Defined Benefit Plans
Since the PGP Acquisition, the Company has provided defined benefit pension plans for certain of its European employees. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined
F-249
benefit plans as an asset or liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The obligations are generally measured at the actuarial present value of all benefits attributable to employee service rendered, as provided by the applicable benefit formula. The estimates of the obligations and related expense of these plans recorded in the financial statements are based on certain assumptions. The most significant assumptions relate to the discount rate and expected return on plan assets. Other assumptions used may include employee demographic factors such as compensation rate increases, retirement patterns, expected employee turnover and participant mortality rates. The difference between these assumptions and actual experience results in the recognition of an asset or liability based upon a net actuarial (gain)/loss. If the total net actuarial (gain)/loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss exceeds a threshold of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets, it is subject to amortization and recorded as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average remaining service lives of the employees participating in the pension plan. Net periodic benefit costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and can include curtailment (gains) / losses. Curtailment (gains) / losses are recognized in accordance with ASC 715 CompensationRetirement Benefits.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2013-02 Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU 2013-02 requires that companies present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 will not affect the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASU 2012-02), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 will not affect the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Companies will be required to present amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 will not affect the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Western European Restructuring
In April 2011, the Company announced a plan to restructure its operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The restructuring did not impact the Companys operations at its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, its facilities in Dundalk, Ireland, Larne, Northern Ireland or Weiterstadt, Germany or its commercial operations in the United Kingdom. The Company determined to proceed with the restructuring following the completion of a strategic review of its operations in its Western European markets where its product ACTONEL lost exclusivity in late 2010. ACTONEL accounted for approximately 70% of the Companys Western European revenues in the year ended December 31, 2010. In connection with the restructuring, the Company has moved to a wholesale distribution model in the affected jurisdictions to minimize operational costs going forward. The implementation of the restructuring plan impacted approximately 500 employees. The Company recorded restructuring costs of $47 in the year ended December 31,
F-250
2012, which were comprised of pretax severance costs $58 and other restructuring costs of $1, offset, in part, by pension-related curtailment gains of $12. The Company recorded restructuring costs of $104 in the year ended December 31, 2011, which were comprised of pretax severance costs $101 and other restructuring costs of $3. The Company does not expect to record any material expenses relating to the Western European restructuring in future periods. The majority of the remaining severance related costs and other liabilities are expected to be settled in cash within the next twelve months.
Manati Facility
In April 2011, the Company announced a plan to repurpose its Manati, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. This facility now serves primarily as a warehouse and distribution center. As a result of the repurposing, the Company recorded charges of $23 for the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment and severance costs of $8 in the year ended December 31, 2011. The majority of severance costs relating to the Manati repurposing were settled in cash during the year ended December 31, 2011. The expenses related to the Manati repurposing were recorded as a component of cost of sales.

The Company and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis) were parties to an agreement to co-promote ENABLEX, developed by Novartis, in the United States. The Company shared development and promotional expenses with Novartis pursuant to the agreement and those costs were included within SG&A expenses. The Company received a contractual percentage of Novartis sales of ENABLEX, which was recorded, on a net basis, in other revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized other revenue related to ENABLEX of $63.
On October 18, 2010, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to ENABLEX from Novartis for an upfront payment of $400 in cash at closing, plus potential future milestone payments of up to $20 in the aggregate, subject to the achievement of pre-defined 2011 and 2012 ENABLEX net sales thresholds (the ENABLEX Acquisition). At the time of the ENABLEX Acquisition, $420 was recorded as a component of intangible assets and is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the period of the projected cash flows for the product. Concurrent with the closing of the ENABLEX Acquisition, the Company and Novartis terminated their existing co-promotion agreement, and the Company assumed full control of sales and marketing of ENABLEX in the U.S. market. In connection with the ENABLEX Acquisition, Novartis agreed to manufacture ENABLEX for the Company until October 2013. Novartis also currently packages ENABLEX for the Company.
In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company concluded that it was no longer probable, as defined by ASC 450, that the contingent milestone payments to Novartis would be required to be paid. As a result, the Company reversed the related liability and recorded a $20 gain, which reduced SG&A expenses in the year ended December 31, 2012.
F-251
On September 23, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the LEO Transaction Agreement) with LEO Pharma A/S (LEO) pursuant to which LEO paid the Company $1,000 in cash in order to terminate the Companys exclusive license to distribute LEOs DOVONEX and TACLONEX products (including all dermatology products in LEOs development pipeline) in the United States and to acquire certain assets related to the Companys distribution of DOVONEX and TACLONEX products in the United States (the LEO Transaction). The Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets of $393 as a result of the LEO Transaction. The LEO Transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the LEO Transaction Agreement. In connection with the LEO Transaction, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with LEO pursuant to which the Company agreed to, among other things, (1) continue to distribute DOVONEX and TACLONEX on behalf of LEO, for a distribution fee, through September 23, 2010 and (2) purchase inventories of DOVONEX and TACLONEX from LEO. In addition, the Company agreed to provide certain transition services for LEO for a period of up to one year after the closing. On June 30, 2010, LEO assumed responsibility for its own distribution services, and on July 15, 2010 the parties formally terminated the distribution agreement.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, in connection with the distribution agreement mentioned above, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $69 relating to the sale of certain inventories in connection with the LEO Transaction. Pursuant to FASB ASC Sub Topic 605-25, Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements, separate contracts with the same entity that are entered into at or near the same time are presumed to have been negotiated as a package and should be evaluated as a single arrangement. The LEO Transaction and distribution agreement contained (i) multiple deliverables, (ii) a delivered element with stand-alone value (intangible asset), and (iii) objective and reliable evidence of the undelivered items fair value. For the undelivered element, inventory, the Company retained title and the risks and rewards of ownership. The total arrangement consideration (or purchase price) of $1,000 was allocated among the units of accounting as set forth in ASC Sub Topic 605-25 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements paragraph 30-1, and the portion of the gain in the amount of $69 on the undelivered product inventory at fair value was deferred as of September 30, 2009.
The Company subsequently sold the inventory on behalf of LEO to its trade customers in the normal course of business and recognized revenues of approximately $77, $63 and $26, and cost of sales of approximately $43, $37 and $17 during the quarters ended December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The amounts were recognized as net sales and cost of sales in the Companys consolidated statement of operations when the earnings process was culminated as the goods were delivered to the Companys trade customers.
6. Shareholders (Deficit) / Equity
In November 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the redemption of up to an aggregate of $250 of its ordinary shares (the Prior Redemption Program). In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded the redemption of 1.9 million ordinary shares (at an aggregate cost of $32) and 3.7 million ordinary shares (at an aggregate cost of $56), respectively, pursuant to the Prior Redemption Program. Following the settlement of such redemptions, the Company cancelled all shares redeemed. As a result of the redemptions recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in accordance with ASC Topic 505 Equity, the Company recorded a decrease in ordinary shares at par value of $0.01 per share, and an increase/decrease in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price above par value in accumulated deficit/retained earnings of approximately $32 and $56 in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Prior Redemption Program allowed the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $250 of its ordinary shares and was to terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or the redemption by the Company of an aggregate of $250 of its ordinary shares. On August 7, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the renewal of the Prior Redemption Program. The renewed program (the Current Redemption Program) replaced the Prior Redemption Program and allows the Company to redeem up
F-252
to an aggregate of $250 of its ordinary shares in addition to those redeemed under the Prior Redemption Program. The Current Redemption Program will terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or the redemption by the Company of an aggregate of $250 of its ordinary shares. The Company did not redeem any ordinary shares under the Current Redemption Program in the year ended December 31, 2012, and consequently $250 remained available for redemption thereunder as of December 31, 2012. The Current Redemption Program does not obligate the Company to redeem any number of ordinary shares or an aggregate of ordinary shares equal to the full $250 authorization and may be suspended at any time or from time to time.
On September 8, 2010, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $8.50 per share, or $2,144 in the aggregate (the 2010 Special Dividend). At the time of the 2010 Special Dividend, the Companys retained earnings were in a deficit position and consequently, the 2010 Special Dividend reduced the additional paid-in-capital of the Company from $2,087 to zero and increased the Companys accumulated deficit by $57.
On September 10, 2012, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $4.00 per share, or $1,002 in the aggregate (the 2012 Special Dividend). The 2012 Special Dividend reduced the additional paid-in-capital of the Company from $63 to zero as of August 31, 2012 and increased the Companys accumulated deficit by $939.
On December 14, 2012, the Company paid its first semi-annual cash dividend under its new dividend policy (the Dividend Policy) in the amount of $0.25 per share, or $62 in the aggregate. The semi-annual dividend reduced the additional paid-in-capital of the Company from $5 to zero as of November 30, 2012 and increased the Companys accumulated deficit by $57.
The Company accounts for earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. The numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS is an amount equal to the consolidated net income for the periods presented. The denominator in calculating basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. The denominator in calculating diluted EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock option grants and unvested restricted share grants and their equivalent for the respective periods. The following sets forth the basic and diluted calculations of EPS for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

8. Sanofi Collaboration Agreement
The Company and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi) are parties to a collaboration agreement pursuant to which the parties co-develop and market ACTONEL on a global basis, excluding Japan (the Collaboration Agreement). ATELVIA, the Companys risedronate sodium delayed-release product launched in January 2011 and currently sold in the United States and Canada, is also marketed pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. As a result of ACTONELs loss of patent exclusivity in Western Europe in late 2010 and as part of the Companys transition to a wholesale distribution model in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the Company and/or Sanofi reduced or discontinued marketing and promotional efforts in certain territories covered by the Collaboration Agreement. Under the Collaboration Agreement, the Companys and Sanofis rights and obligations are specified by geographic market. For example, under the Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi generally has the right to elect to participate in the development of ACTONEL-related product improvements, other than product improvements specifically related to the United States and Puerto Rico, where the Company has full control over all product development decisions following the April 2010 amendment discussed below. Under the Collaboration Agreement, the ongoing global R&D costs for ACTONEL are shared equally between the parties, except for R&D costs specifically related to the United States and Puerto Rico, which are borne solely by the Company. In certain geographic markets, the Company and Sanofi share selling and A&P costs, as well as product profits based on contractual percentages. In the geographic markets where the Company is deemed to be the principal in transactions with customers and invoices sales, the Company recognizes all revenues from sales of the product along with the related product costs. In these markets, all selling and A&P expenses incurred by the Company and all contractual payments to Sanofi are recognized in SG&A expenses. In geographic markets where Sanofi is deemed to be the principal in transactions with customers and invoices sales, the Companys share of selling and A&P expenses is recognized in SG&A expenses, and the Company recognizes its share of income attributable to the contractual payments made by Sanofi to the Company in these territories, on a net basis, as a component of other revenue.
In April 2010, the Company and Sanofi entered into an amendment to the Collaboration Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company took full operational control over the promotion, marketing and R&D decisions for ACTONEL and ATELVIA in the United States and Puerto Rico, and assumed responsibility for all associated costs relating to those activities. Prior to the amendment, the Company shared such costs with Sanofi in these territories. The Company remained the principal in transactions with customers in the United States and Puerto Rico and continues to invoice all sales in these territories. In return, it was agreed that for the remainder of the term of the Collaboration Agreement Sanofi would receive, as part of the global collaboration agreement between the parties, payments from the Company which, depending on actual net sales in the United States and Puerto Rico, are based on an agreed percentage of either United States and Puerto Rico actual net sales or an agreed minimum sales threshold for the territory.
The Company will continue to sell ACTONEL and ATELVIA products with Sanofi in accordance with its obligations under the Collaboration Agreement until the termination of the Collaboration Agreement on
F-254
January 1, 2015, at which time all of Sanofis rights under the Collaboration Agreement will revert to the Company. Thereafter, the Company will have the sole right to market and promote ACTONEL and ATELVIA on a global basis, excluding Japan.
For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized net sales, other revenue and co-promotion expenses as follows:

11. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Companys goodwill and a trademark have been deemed to have indefinite lives and are not amortized. The Companys acquired intellectual property, licensing agreements and certain trademarks that do not have indefinite lives are being amortized on either an economic benefit model, which typically results in accelerated amortization, or a straight-line basis over their useful lives not to exceed 15 years.

Aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets was $498, $596 and $653 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company continuously reviews its products remaining useful lives based on each products estimated future cash flows. The Company may incur material impairment charges or accelerate the amortization of certain intangible assets based on triggering events that reduce expected future cash flows, including those events relating to the launch of a generic equivalent of the Companys product prior to the expiration of the related patent. Based on the Companys review of future cash flows, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the year ended December 31, 2012 of $106, $101 of which was attributable to the impairment of the Companys DORYX intangible asset following the April 30, 2012 decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey holding that neither Mylans nor Impaxs proposed generic version of DORYX 150 infringed the 161 Patent and Mylans subsequent introduction of a generic product in early May 2012. For a discussion of the DORYX patent litigation and the Companys other ongoing patent litigation, refer to Note 16.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On March 17, 2011, Warner Chilcott Holdings Company III, Limited (Holdings III), WC Luxco S.à r.l. (the Luxco Borrower), Warner Chilcott Corporation (WCC or the US Borrower) and Warner Chilcott Company, LLC (WCCL or the PR Borrower, and together with the Luxco Borrower and the US Borrower, the Borrowers) entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of lenders (the Lenders) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, in order to refinance the Companys Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided senior secured credit facilities (the Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities) in an aggregate amount of $3,250 comprised of (i) $3,000 in aggregate term loan facilities and (ii) a $250 revolving credit facility available to all Borrowers (the Revolving Credit Facility). The term loan facilities were initially comprised of (i) a $1,250 Term A Loan Facility (the Term A Loan) and (ii) a $1,750 Term B Loan Facility consisting of an $800 Term B-1 Loan, a $400 Term B-2 Loan and a $550 Term B-3 Loan (together, the Initial Term B Loans). The proceeds of these term loans, together with approximately $279 of cash on hand, were used to make an optional prepayment of $250 in aggregate term loans under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities, repay the remaining $2,969 in aggregate term loans outstanding under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities, terminate the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities and pay certain related fees, expenses and accrued interest. In January 2013, the Company made an optional prepayment of $150 of its term loan indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
On August 20, 2012, Holdings III and the Borrowers entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders provided additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $600 (the Additional Term Loan Facilities and, together with the Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities), which, together with cash on hand, were used to fund the 2012 Special Dividend and to pay related fees and expenses. The Additional Term Loan Facilities were comprised of (i) a $250 Term B-4 Loan Facility and a $50 Term B-5 Loan Facility (collectively, the Term B-4/5 Loan) and (ii) a $300 Additional Term B-1 Loan Facility (the Additional Term B-1 Loan).
The Term A Loan matures on March 17, 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, each of the Initial Term B Loans and the Additional Term B-1 Loan matures on March 15, 2018 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and the Term B-4/5 Loan matures on August 20, 2017 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with no LIBOR floor. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 17, 2016 and includes a $20 sublimit for swing line loans and a $50 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any swing line loans and letters of credit would reduce the available commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Loans drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a fee equal to 3.00% per annum on the amounts thereof. The Borrowers are also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate of 0.75% per annum, subject to leverage-based step-downs.
The loans and other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including in respect of hedging agreements and cash management obligations) are (i) guaranteed by Holdings III and substantially all of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) and (ii) secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and each guarantor (subject to certain exceptions and limitations). In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain (i) customary provisions related to mandatory prepayment of the loans thereunder with (a) 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, subject to a leverage-based step-down and (b) the proceeds of asset sales or casualty events (subject to certain limitations, exceptions and reinvestment rights) and the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness and (ii) certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of other indebtedness and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements and, in each
F-258
case, subject to certain exceptions. The excess cash flow mandatory prepayment provisions under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities commence with the year ending December 31, 2013 and, among other things, provide for the reduction, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, of the amount of any excess cash flow-based mandatory prepayment for a particular year by the amount of the Companys optional prepayments of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in such year. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company was not obligated to make any excess cash flow-based mandatory prepayments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
As of December 31, 2012, Holdings III was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made optional prepayments in an aggregate amount of $350 of term loans under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2012, there were letters of credit totaling $2 outstanding. As a result, the Company had $248 available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2012.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities specify certain customary events of default including, without limitation, non-payment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default or cross acceleration of certain other material indebtedness, material judgments and liabilities, certain Employee Retirement Income Security Act events and invalidity of guarantees and security documents under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The fair value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of the Companys debt outstanding under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) under Level 2 based upon quoted prices for similar items in active markets, was approximately $2,744 ($2,718 book value) and $2,601 ($2,605 book value), respectively.
Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities (Refinanced in full in March 2011)
On October 30, 2009, in connection with the PGP Acquisition, Holdings III, the Luxco Borrower, WCC and WCCL entered into a credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders and parties thereto pursuant to which the lenders provided senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $3,200 (the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities). The Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities initially consisted of $2,600 of term loans, a $250 revolving credit facility and a $350 delayed-draw term loan facility. On December 16, 2009, the Borrowers entered into an amendment pursuant to which the lenders agreed to provide additional term loans of $350, and the delayed-draw term loan facility was terminated. The additional term loans were used to finance, together with cash on hand, the repurchase or redemption (as described below) of any and all of the Companys then-outstanding 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2015. On August 20, 2010, Holdings III and the Borrowers entered into a subsequent amendment pursuant to which the lenders provided additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500 which, together with the proceeds from the issuance of $750 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 7.75% Notes (defined below), were used to fund the 2010 Special Dividend, and to pay related fees and expenses. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company made optional prepayments of $450 of its term loan indebtedness under its Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities, of which $250 was funded in connection with the Companys entry into the Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities as described above.
7.75% Notes
On August 20, 2010, the Company and certain of the Companys subsidiaries entered into an indenture (the Indenture) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, in connection with the issuance by WCCL and Warner Chilcott Finance LLC (together, the Issuers) of $750 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior notes due 2018 (the 7.75% Notes). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers, guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions. The 7.75% Notes will mature on September 15, 2018. Interest on the 7.75% Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and the first payment was made on March 15, 2011.
F-259
On September 29, 2010, the Issuers issued an additional $500 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Notes at a premium of $10. The proceeds from the issuance of the additional 7.75% Notes were used by the Company to fund its $400 upfront payment in connection with the ENABLEX Acquisition, which closed on October 18, 2010, and for general corporate purposes. The additional 7.75% Notes constitute a part of the same series, and have the same guarantors, as the 7.75% Notes that the Issuers issued in August 2010. The $10 premium received was added to the face value of the 7.75% Notes and is being amortized over the life of the 7.75% Notes as a reduction to reported interest expense.
The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of each of Holdings III, and certain of Holdings IIIs subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make distributions on common and preferred stock, repurchase subordinated debt and common and preferred stock, make other restricted payments, make investments, sell certain assets, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Indenture also contains customary events of default which would permit the holders of the 7.75% Notes to declare those 7.75% Notes to be immediately due and payable if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the failure to make timely payments on the 7.75% Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to comply with covenants, and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of December 31, 2012, Holdings III was in compliance in with all covenants under the Indenture.
The fair value of the Companys outstanding 7.75% Notes ($1,250 book value), as determined in accordance with ASC 820 under Level 2 based upon quoted prices for similar items in active markets, was $1,325 and $1,278 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
8.75% Notes (Redeemed in full in February 2010)
On January 18, 2005, WCC issued $600 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2015 (the 8.75% Notes). The 8.75% Notes were guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the Company and certain of the Companys subsidiaries. Interest payments on the 8.75% Notes were due semi-annually in arrears on each February 1 and August 1.
On December 15, 2009, WCC commenced a cash tender offer pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the Offer to Purchase) for any and all of its $380 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Notes then outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, WCC purchased (i) $291 aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Notes in December 2009 for a total price of $304 (104.75% of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) approximately $2 aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Notes in January 2010. On February 1, 2010, WCC redeemed all of the remaining outstanding 8.75% Notes in accordance with the indenture governing the 8.75% Notes at a premium of $4.

14. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 718 during all periods presented. The Companys stock-based compensation, including grants of non-qualified time-based vesting options to purchase ordinary shares and grants of time-based and performance-based vesting restricted ordinary shares and their equivalents, is measured at fair value on the date of grant and is recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. For purposes of computing the amount of stock-based compensation attributable to time-based vesting options and time-based vesting restricted ordinary shares (and their equivalents) expensed in any period, the Company treats such equity grants as serial grants with separate vesting dates. This treatment results in accelerated recognition of share-based compensation expense whereby 52% of the compensation is recognized in year one, 27% is recognized in year two, 15% is recognized in year three, and 6% is recognized in the final year of vesting. The Company treats performance-based vesting restricted ordinary share grants and their equivalent as vesting evenly over a four year vesting period, subject to the achievement of annual performance targets.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $24, $22 and $21 (related tax benefits were $6, $6 and $6, respectively), respectively. Unrecognized future stock-based compensation expense was $27 as of December 31, 2012. This amount will be recognized as an expense over a remaining weighted average period of 1.2 years. On August 21, 2009, the Company registered 17,284,730 of its ordinary shares for issuance under the Warner Chilcott Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), plus an indeterminate number of additional shares to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. As a result of the payment by the Company of the 2010 Special Dividend and the 2012
F-261
Special Dividend, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors approved adjustments, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, to the number of shares available for issuance. The adjustments increased the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 3,057,392 and 2,265,580 shares, respectively, effective March 2011 and August 2012, and these shares are deemed to be registered pursuant to the registration statement filed by the Company on August 21, 2009.
The Company has granted equity-based incentives to its employees comprised of restricted ordinary shares, and their equivalent, and non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares. All restricted ordinary shares, and their equivalent (whether time-based vesting or performance-based vesting), are granted and expensed, using the closing market price per share on the applicable grant date, over a four year vesting period. Non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares are granted to employees at exercise prices per share equal to the closing market price per share on the date of grant. The fair value of non-qualified options is determined on the applicable grant dates using the Black-Scholes method of valuation and that amount is recognized as an expense over the four year vesting period.
In establishing the value of the options on each grant date, the Company uses its actual historical volatility for its ordinary shares to estimate the expected volatility at each grant date. Beginning in September 2012, the dividend yield is calculated on the day of grant using the annual expected dividend under the Dividend Policy of $0.50 per share divided by the closing stock price on that given day. The options have a term of ten years. The Company assumes that the options will be exercised, on average, in six years. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the fair value of the options is based on the following assumptions:
2012 Grants | 2011 Grants | 2010 Grants | ||||
Dividend yield |
0 4.15% | None | None | |||
Expected volatility |
38.00 40.00% | 35.00 38.00% | 35.00 % | |||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.76 1.87% | 1.87 3.57% | 2.52 3.83% | |||
Expected term (years) |
6.00 | 6.00 | 6.00 |
The weighted average remaining contractual term of all outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares granted was 6 years as of December 31, 2012.
The following is a summary of equity award activity for unvested restricted ordinary shares, and their equivalent, in the period from December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2012:

As a result of the 2012 Special Dividend, the exercise prices of the Companys outstanding non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares issued under the Plan were adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors pursuant to the Plan to reflect the impact of the recapitalization. As a result, the Company lowered the exercise price of each option outstanding on August 31, 2012 by $3.52. This adjustment
F-262
did not result in any material additional stock-based compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2012 as the fair value of the outstanding options immediately following the payment of the 2012 Special Dividend was lower than the fair value immediately prior for most of the grants outstanding.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company had a contingent purchase obligation in connection with a product acquired in 2003 (FEMHRT) which expired in the first quarter of 2010. Payments related to this product totaled $3 in the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also has outstanding non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventories with multiple suppliers totaling $63 and commitments of $9 relating to certain capital expenditures, which are payable within one year. The Company also had commitments under its promotional arrangements based upon future results of operations, including fixed obligations under the Collaboration Agreement relating to the United States and Puerto Rico of $300.
Product Development Agreements
In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Paratek Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Paratek) under which it acquired certain rights to novel tetracyclines under development for the treatment of acne and rosacea. The Company paid an up-front fee of $4 and agreed to reimburse Paratek for R&D expenses incurred during the
F-263
term of the agreement. In September 2010, the Company made a $1 milestone payment to Paratek upon the achievement of a developmental milestone, which was included in R&D expenses in the year ended December 31, 2010. In June 2012, the Company made a $2 milestone payment to Paratek upon the achievement of a developmental milestone, which was included in R&D expenses in the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company may make additional payments to Paratek upon the achievement of certain developmental milestones that could aggregate up to $21. In addition, the Company agreed to pay royalties to Paratek based on the net sales, if any, of the products covered under the agreement.
In December 2008, the Company signed an agreement (the Dong-A Agreement) with Dong-A PharmTech Co. Ltd. (Dong-A), to develop and, if approved, market its orally-administered udenafil product, a PDE5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in the United States. The Company paid $2 in connection with signing the Dong-A Agreement. In March 2009, the Company paid $9 to Dong-A upon the achievement of a developmental milestone related to the ED product under the Dong-A Agreement. The Company agreed to pay for all development costs incurred during the term of the Dong-A Agreement with respect to development of the ED product to be marketed in the United States, and the Company may make additional payments to Dong-A of up to $13 upon the achievement of contractually-defined milestones in relation to the ED product. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a profit-split to Dong-A based on operating profit (as defined in the Dong-A Agreement), if any, resulting from the commercial sale of the ED product.
In February 2009, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to Apricus Biosciences, Inc.s (formerly NexMed, Inc.) (Apricus) topically applied alprostadil cream for the treatment of ED and a prior license agreement between the Company and Apricus relating to the product was terminated. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid Apricus an up-front payment of $3. The Company also agreed to make a milestone payment of $2 upon the FDAs approval of the products New Drug Application. The Company continues to work to prepare its response to the non-approvable letter that the FDA delivered to Apricus in July 2008 with respect to the product.
In April 2010, the Company amended the Dong-A Agreement to add the right to develop, and if approved, market in the United States and Canada, Dong-As udenafil product for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). As a result of this amendment, the Company made an up-front payment to Dong-A of $20 in April 2010, which was included in R&D expenses in the year ended December 31, 2010. Under the amendment, the Company may make additional payments to Dong-A in an aggregate amount of up to $25 upon the achievement of contractually-defined milestones in relation to the BPH product. These payments would be in addition to the potential milestone payments in relation to the ED product described above. The Company also agreed to pay Dong-A a percentage of net sales of the BPH product in the United States and Canada, if any.
The Company and Sanofi are parties to the Collaboration Agreement pursuant to which they co-develop and market ACTONEL on a global basis, excluding Japan. ATELVIA, the Companys risedronate sodium delayed-release product launched in January 2011 and currently sold in the United States and Canada, is also marketed pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. See Note 8 for additional information related to the Collaboration Agreement.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
In March 2012, the Companys Fajardo, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility received a warning letter from the FDA. The warning letter raised certain violations of current Good Manufacturing Practices originally identified in a Form 483 observation letter issued by the FDA after an inspection of the Companys Fajardo facility in June and July 2011. More specifically, the warning letter indicated that the Company failed to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its corrective actions to ensure that certain stability issues concerning OVCON 50 were adequately addressed. In addition, the FDA cited the Companys stability issues with OVCON 50 and the Companys evaluation of certain other quality data, in expressing its general concerns with respect to the performance of the Companys Fajardo quality control unit.
F-264
The Company takes these matters seriously and submitted a written response to the FDA in April 2012. Following its receipt of the Form 483 observation letter, the Company immediately initiated efforts to address the issues identified by the FDA and has been working diligently to resolve the FDAs concerns. Until the cited issues are resolved, the FDA will likely withhold approval of requests for, among other things, pending drug applications listing the Fajardo facility. At this time, the Company does not expect that the warning letter will have a material adverse effect on the Companys existing business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company can give no assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with its response to the warning letter or as to the expected date of the resolution of the matters included in the warning letter.
General Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. The outcome of such litigation is uncertain, and the Company may from time to time enter into settlements to resolve such litigation that could result, among other things, in the sale of generic versions of the Companys products prior to the expiration of its patents.
The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company maintains insurance with respect to potential litigation in the normal course of its business based on its consultation with its insurance consultants and outside legal counsel, and in light of current market conditions, including cost and availability. The Company is responsible for any losses from such litigation that are not covered under its litigation insurance.
The following discussion is limited to the Companys material on-going legal proceedings:
Product Liability Litigation
Hormone Therapy Product Liability Litigation
Approximately 721 product liability suits, including some with multiple plaintiffs, have been filed against, or tendered to, the Company related to its hormone therapy (HT) products, FEMHRT, ESTRACE, ESTRACE Cream and medroxyprogesterone acetate. Under the purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired FEMHRT from Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) in 2003, the Company agreed to assume certain product liability exposure with respect to claims made against Pfizer after March 5, 2003 and tendered to the Company relating to FEMHRT products. The cases are in the early stages of litigation and the Company is in the process of analyzing and investigating the individual complaints.
The lawsuits were likely triggered by the July 2002 and March 2004 announcements by the National Institute of Health (NIH) of the terminations of two large-scale randomized controlled clinical trials, which were part of the Womens Health Initiative (WHI), examining the long-term effect of HT on the prevention of coronary heart disease and osteoporotic fractures, and any associated risk for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. In the case of the trial terminated in 2002, which examined combined estrogen and progestogen therapy (the E&P Arm of the WHI Study), the safety monitoring board determined that the risks of long-term estrogen and progestogen therapy exceeded the benefits, when compared to a placebo. WHI investigators found that combined estrogen and progestogen therapy did not prevent heart disease in the study subjects and, despite a decrease in the incidence of hip fracture and colorectal cancer, there was an increased risk of invasive breast cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, blood clots and dementia. In the trial terminated in 2004, which examined estrogen therapy, the trial was ended one year early because the NIH did not believe that the results were likely to change in the time remaining in the trial and that the increased risk of stroke could not be justified for the additional data that could be collected in the remaining time. As in the E&P Arm of the WHI Study, WHI investigators again found that estrogen only therapy did not prevent heart disease and, although study subjects
F-265
experienced fewer hip fractures and no increase in the incidence of breast cancer compared to subjects randomized to placebo, there was an increased incidence of stroke and blood clots in the legs. The estrogen used in the WHI study was conjugated equine estrogen and the progestin was medroxyprogesterone acetate, the compounds found in Premarin ® and Prempro ® , products marketed by Wyeth (now a part of Pfizer). Numerous lawsuits were filed against Wyeth, as well as against other manufacturers of HT products, after the publication of the summary of the principal results of the E&P Arm of the WHI Study.
Approximately 80% of the complaints filed against, or tendered to, the Company did not specify the HT drug alleged to have caused the plaintiffs injuries. These complaints broadly allege that the plaintiff suffered injury as a result of an HT product. The Company has sought the dismissal of lawsuits that, after further investigation, do not involve any of its products. The Company has successfully reduced the number of HT suits it will have to defend. Of the approximately 721 suits that were filed against, or tendered to, the Company, 552 have been dismissed and 94 involving ESTRACE have been successfully tendered to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (Bristol-Myers) pursuant to an indemnification provision in the asset purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired ESTRACE. The purchase agreement included an indemnification agreement whereby Bristol-Myers indemnified the Company for product liability exposure associated with ESTRACE products that were shipped prior to July 2001. The Company has forwarded an agreed upon dismissal notice in the one remaining case involving medroxyprogesterone acetate, a generic HT product formerly sold by the Company. Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, an unfavorable outcome in these proceedings is not anticipated. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
ACTONEL Product Liability Litigation
The Company is a defendant in approximately 246 cases and a potential defendant with respect to approximately 354 unfiled claims involving a total of approximately 608 plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs relating to the Companys bisphosphonate prescription drug ACTONEL. The claimants allege, among other things, that ACTONEL caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare but serious condition that involves severe loss or destruction of the jawbone, and/or atypical fractures of the femur. All of the cases have been filed in either federal or state courts in the United States. The Company is in the initial stages of discovery in these litigations. The 354 unfiled claims involve potential plaintiffs that have agreed, pursuant to a tolling agreement, to postpone the filing of their claims against the Company in exchange for the Companys agreement to suspend the statutes of limitations relating to their potential claims. In addition, the Company is aware of four purported product liability class actions that were brought against the Company in provincial courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that ACTONEL caused the plaintiffs and the proposed class members who ingested ACTONEL to suffer atypical fractures or other side effects. It is expected that these plaintiffs will seek class certification. The Company is reviewing these lawsuits and potential claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously.
Sanofi, which co-promotes ACTONEL with the Company on a global basis pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, is a defendant in many of the Companys ACTONEL product liability cases. In some of the cases, manufacturers of other bisphosphonate products are also named as defendants. Plaintiffs have typically asked for unspecified monetary and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys fees. The Company cannot at this time predict the outcome of these lawsuits and claims or their financial impact. Under the Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi has agreed to indemnify the Company, subject to certain limitations, for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in Canada relating to ACTONEL and for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to ACTONEL brought prior to April 1, 2010, which would include approximately 90 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries that were pending as of March 31, 2010 and not subsequently dismissed. Pursuant to the April 2010 amendment to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company will be fully responsible for any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to ACTONEL brought on or after April 1, 2010. The Company may be liable for product liability, warranty or similar claims in relation to PGP products, including ONJ-related claims that were pending as of the closing of
F-266
the PGP Acquisition. The Companys agreement with P&G provides that P&G will indemnify the Company, subject to certain limits, for 50% of the Companys losses from any such claims, including approximately 88 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries, pending as of October 30, 2009 and not subsequently dismissed.
The Company currently maintains product liability insurance coverage for claims aggregating between $30 and $170, subject to certain terms, conditions and exclusions, and is otherwise responsible for any losses from such claims. The terms of the Companys current and prior insurance programs vary from year to year and the Companys insurance may not apply to, among other things, damages or defense costs related to the above mentioned HT or ACTONEL-related claims, including any claim arising out of HT or ACTONEL products with labeling that does not conform completely to FDA approved labeling. It is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
Gastroenterology Patent Matters
ASACOL HD
In September 2011, the Company received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (together with its affiliates, Zydus) indicating that Zydus had submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of the Companys ASACOL 800 mg product (ASACOL HD). Zydus contends that the Companys U.S. Patent No. 6,893,662, expiring in November 2021 (the 662 Patent), is invalid and/or not infringed. In addition, Zydus indicated that it had submitted a Paragraph III certification with respect to Medeva Pharma Suisse AGs (Medeva) U.S. Patent No. 5,541,170 (the 170 Patent) and U.S. Patent No. 5,541,171 (the 171 Patent), formulation and method patents which the Company exclusively licenses from Medeva covering the Companys ASACOL products, consenting to the delay of FDA approval of the ANDA product until the 170 Patent and the 171 Patent expire in July 2013. In November 2011, the Company filed a lawsuit against Zydus in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Zydus with infringement of the 662 Patent. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Zydus ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of the Zydus notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 662 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the pending litigation will be decided, whether the lawsuit will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ASACOL HD will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 662 Patent in 2021.
Osteoporosis Patent Matters
ACTONEL
ACTONEL Once-a-Week
In July 2004, PGP received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries Teva) indicating that Teva had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of PGPs ACTONEL 35 mg product (ACTONEL OaW) . The notice letter contended that PGPs U.S. Patent No. 5,583,122 (the 122 Patent), a new chemical entity patent expiring in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity), was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. In August 2004, PGP filed a patent lawsuit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Teva with infringement of the 122 Patent. In January 2006, Teva admitted patent infringement but alleged that the 122 Patent was invalid and, in February 2008, the District Court decided in favor of PGP and upheld the 122 Patent as valid and enforceable. In May 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit unanimously upheld the decision of the District Court.
F-267
Teva has received final approval from the FDA for its generic version of ACTONEL OaW and could enter the market as early as June 2014, following the expiration of the 122 Patent (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). In addition, several other companies have submitted ANDAs to the FDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of ACTONEL OaW, including Aurobindo Pharma Limited (Aurobindo), Mylan and Sun Pharma Global, Inc. (Sun). None of these additional ANDA filers challenged the validity of the 122 Patent, and as a result, the Company does not believe that any of the ANDA filers will be permitted to market their proposed generic versions of ACTONEL OaW prior to the expiration of the patent in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). However, if any of these ANDA filers receive final approval from the FDA with respect to their ANDAs, such filers could also enter the market with a generic version of ACTONEL OaW following the expiration of the 122 Patent.
ACTONEL Once-a-Month
In August 2008, December 2008 and January 2009, PGP and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (Roche) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Teva, Sun and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (together Apotex), indicating that each such company had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of the ACTONEL 150 mg product (ACTONEL OaM). The notice letters contended that Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent), a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to PGP with respect to ACTONEL OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. PGP and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Teva in September 2008, Sun in January 2009 and Apotex in March 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 938 Patent. The lawsuits resulted in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of PGPs and Roches receipt of notice, subject to the prior resolution of the matters before the court. The stay of approval of each of Tevas, Suns and Apotexs ANDAs has expired, and the FDA has tentatively approved Tevas ANDA with respect to ACTONEL OaM. However, none of the defendants challenged the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, including ACTONEL OaM, and does not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). As a result, the Company does not believe that any of the defendants will be permitted to market their proposed generic versions of ACTONEL OaM prior to June 2014.
On February 24, 2010, the Company and Roche received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of ACTONEL OaM. The notice letter contends that the 938 Patent, which expires in November 2023 and covers ACTONEL OaM, is invalid and/or will not be infringed. The Company and Roche filed a patent suit against Mylan in April 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Mylan with infringement of the 938 Patent based on its proposed generic version of ACTONEL OaM. The lawsuit resulted in a stay of FDA approval of Mylans ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys and Roches receipt of notice, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The stay of approval of Mylans ANDA has now expired. Since Mylan did not challenge the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, the Company does not believe that Mylan will be permitted to market its proposed ANDA product prior to the June 2014 expiration of the 122 Patent (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
In October, November and December 2010 and February 2011, the Company and Roche received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan, respectively, indicating that each such company had amended its existing ANDA covering generic versions of ACTONEL OaM to include a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,718,634 (the 634 Patent). The notice letters contended that the 634 Patent, a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to the Company with respect to ACTONEL OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. The Company and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Sun and Apotex in December 2010, against Teva in January 2011 and against Mylan in March 2011 in
F-268
the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 634 Patent. The Company believes that no additional 30-month stay is available in these matters because the 634 Patent was listed in the FDAs Orange Book subsequent to the date on which Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan filed their respective ANDAs with respect to ACTONEL OaM. However, the underlying 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, including ACTONEL OaM, does not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
The Company and Roches actions against Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan for infringement of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent arising from each such partys proposed generic version of ACTONEL OaM were consolidated for all pretrial purposes, and a consolidated trial for those suits was previously expected to be held in July 2012. Following an adverse ruling in Roches separate ongoing patent infringement suit before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey relating to its Boniva ® product, in which the court held that claims of the 634 Patent covering a monthly dosing regimen using ibandronate were invalid as obvious, Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan filed a motion for summary judgment in the Companys ACTONEL OaM patent infringement litigation. In the motion, the defendants have sought to invalidate the asserted claims of the 938 Patent and 634 Patent, which cover a monthly dosing regimen using risedronate, on similar grounds. The previously scheduled trial has been postponed pending resolution of the new summary judgment motion. A hearing on Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylans motions for summary judgment of invalidity and a separate motion by the Company and Roche for summary judgment of infringement took place on December 14, 2012.
To the extent that any ANDA filer also submitted a Paragraph IV certification with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,165,513 covering ACTONEL OaM, the Company has determined not to pursue an infringement action with respect to this patent. While the Company and Roche intend to vigorously defend the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent and protect their legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ACTONEL OaM will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent in 2023 (including, in each case, a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
ATELVIA
In August and October 2011 and March 2012, the Company received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Watson Laboratories, Inc.Florida (together with Actavis, Inc. (formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and its subsidiaries, Actavis), Teva and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (together with its affiliates, Ranbaxy) indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of ATELVIA 35 mg tablets (ATELVIA). The notice letters contend that the Companys U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,459 (the 459 Patent) and 7,645,460 (the 460 Patent), two formulation and method patents expiring in January 2028, are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. The Company filed a lawsuit against Actavis in October 2011, against Teva in November 2011 and against Ranbaxy in April 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 459 Patent and 460 Patent. On August 21, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 8,246,989 (the 989 Patent), a formulation patent expiring in January 2026. The Company listed the 989 Patent in the FDAs Orange Book, each of Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy amended its Paragraph IV certification notice letter to contend that the 989 Patent is invalid and/or not infringed, and the Company amended its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of such defendants original notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Company does not believe that the amendment of its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent will result in any additional 30-month stay. In addition, none of the ANDA filers certified against the 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL and ATELVIA products and expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
F-269
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 459 Patent, the 460 Patent and the 989 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ATELVIA will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 989 Patent in 2026 and/or the 459 Patent and the 460 Patent in 2028.
Hormonal Contraceptive Patent Matters
LOESTRIN 24 FE
In April 2011, the Company received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan, as U.S. agent for Famy Care Ltd. (Famy Care), indicating that Famy Care had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of the Companys oral contraceptive, LOESTRIN 24 FE. The notice letter contends that the Companys U.S. Patent No. 5,552,394 (the 394 Patent), which covers LOESTRIN 24 FE and expires in 2014, is invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. In June 2011, the Company filed a lawsuit against Famy Care and Mylan in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 394 Patent. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Famy Cares ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of the Famy Care notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. In January 2009, the Company entered into a settlement and license agreement with Actavis to resolve patent litigation related to the 394 Patent. Under the agreement, Actavis agreed, among other things, not to commence marketing its generic equivalent product until the earliest of (i) January 22, 2014, (ii) 180 days prior to a date on which the Company has granted rights to a third party to market a generic version of LOESTRIN 24 FE in the United States or (iii) the date on which a third party enters the market with a generic version of LOESTRIN 24 FE in the United States without authorization from the Company. In addition, under current law, unless Actavis forfeits its first filer status, the FDA may not approve later-filed ANDAs until 180 days following the date on which Actavis enters the market. However, the Company believes Actavis may have forfeited its first filer status as a result of its failure to obtain approval by the FDA of its ANDA within the requisite period. In October 2010, the Company also entered into a settlement and license agreement with Lupin Ltd. and its U.S. subsidiary, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively Lupin), to resolve patent litigation related to the 394 Patent. Under that agreement, Lupin and its affiliates agreed, among other things, not to market or sell a generic equivalent product until the earlier of July 22, 2014 (the date on which the 394 Patent expires) or the date of an at-risk entry into the U.S. market by a third party generic version of LOESTRIN 24 FE. While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 394 Patent and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance that a generic equivalent of LOESTRIN 24 FE will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 394 Patent in 2014.
LO LOESTRIN FE
In July 2011 and April 2012, the Company received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Lupin and Actavis indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of the Companys oral contraceptive, LO LOESTRIN FE. The notice letters contend that the 394 Patent and the Companys U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984 (the 984 Patent), which cover LO LOESTRIN FE and expire in 2014 and 2029, respectively, are invalid and/or not infringed. The Company filed a lawsuit against Lupin in September 2011 and against Actavis in May 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 394 Patent and the 984 Patent. The Company has granted Lupin and Actavis covenants not to sue on the 394 Patent with regard to their ANDAs seeking approval for a generic version of LO LOESTRIN FE, and the court dismissed all claims concerning the 394 Patent in the Lupin and the Actavis litigations in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of such defendants notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 984 Patent and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic
F-270
equivalent of LO LOESTRIN FE will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 984 Patent in 2029.
Dermatology Patent and Other Litigation Matters
DORYX Patent Litigation
In March 2009, the Company and Mayne Pharma International Pty. Ltd. (Mayne) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Impax and Mylan indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of DORYX 150. The notice letters contended that Maynes 161 Patent expiring in 2022 was not infringed. In March and May 2009, the Company and Mayne, which licenses the 161 Patent to the Company, filed lawsuits against Impax and Mylan, respectively, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, charging each with infringement of the 161 Patent. The resulting 30-month stay of FDA approval of each of Mylans and Impaxs ANDAs with respect to DORYX 150 expired in September 2011. In advance of that stays expiration, the Company and Mayne filed a motion in the District Court for a preliminary injunction (PI) to prevent an at-risk launch by Mylan of its generic version of DORYX 150. On September 22, 2011, the District Court entered a PI against Mylan and, in connection therewith, required the Company and Mayne to post a bond in the amount of $36 (the Bond) in respect of damages, if any, that might result to Mylan should the PI later be determined to have been improvidently granted. The Company and Mayne posted the Bond and Mylan appealed the District Courts grant of the PI to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit vacated the PI on December 12, 2011 due to the District Courts failure to hold an evidentiary hearing, and suggested that the District Court consolidate such an evidentiary hearing with the trial and consider entry of a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting Mylan from launching a generic version of DORYX 150 until the District Court rendered its decision on the merits.
In September 2011, the Company received FDA approval for a dual-scored DORYX 150 product, which today accounts for all but a de minimis amount of the Companys DORYX net sales, and filed a citizen petition requesting that the FDA refrain from granting final approval to any DORYX 150 ANDA unless the ANDA filers product also adopts a dual-scored configuration and has the same labeling as the Companys dual-scored DORYX 150 product. On February 8, 2012, the FDA denied the Companys citizen petition and granted final approval to Mylan for its generic version of DORYX 150. As of February 15, 2013, Impax has not yet received final approval of its ANDA from the FDA with respect to DORYX 150 and has forfeited its first filer status.
The actions against Mylan and Impax were consolidated and a trial was held in early February 2012, during which Mylan agreed to the entry of the TRO. In entering the TRO, the District Court denied Mylans request that the Company post another bond or the Bond amount be increased from $36. On April 30, 2012, the District Court issued its opinion upholding the validity of the 161 Patent, but determining that neither Mylans nor Impaxs proposed generic version of DORYX 150 infringed the 161 Patent. The Company appealed the non-infringement determinations, and Impax and Mylan appealed the District Courts denial of their attorneys fees. On September 7, 2012, the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Courts decision. The Company determined not to petition the panel for a rehearing and the Federal Circuits judgment issued on October 15, 2012.
As a consequence of the District Courts April 30th ruling, Mylan entered the market with its FDA approved generic equivalent of DORYX 150 in early May 2012. Under settlement agreements previously entered into with Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Heritage) and Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) in connection with their respective ANDA challenges, each of Heritage and Sandoz can market and sell a generic equivalent of DORYX 150 upon receipt of final FDA approval for its generic product.
The loss of exclusivity for DORYX 150 resulted in a significant decline in the Companys DORYX 150 revenues in the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $101 in the year ended December 31, 2012 related to its DORYX intangible asset. On November 9, 2012, Mylan made an application to the District Court seeking to recover damages under the Bond, alleging it was damaged
F-271
from the District Courts entry of injunctions prior to the District Courts decision on the merits. The Company recorded a charge in the year ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies in the amount of $6 in connection with the Federal Circuits judgment and Mylans application for damages. This charge represents the Companys current estimate of the aggregate amount that is probable to be paid in connection with Mylans damages claim.
Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself from Mylans damages claim, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome concerning Mylans application. The Company can offer no assurance that amounts actually paid will not be more than the amount recorded by the Company, or that an unfavorable outcome will not have an adverse and material impact on the Companys results of operations and cash flows.
Other DORYX Litigation
In July 2012, Mylan filed a complaint against the Company and Mayne in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging that the Company and Mayne prevented or delayed Mylans generic competition to the Companys DORYX products in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and tortiously interfered with Mylans prospective economic relationships under Pennsylvania state law. In the complaint, Mylan seeks unspecified treble and punitive damages and attorneys fees.
Following the filing of Mylans complaint, three putative class actions were filed against the Company and Mayne by purported direct purchasers, and one putative class action was filed against the Company and Mayne by purported indirect purchasers, each in the same court. In each case the plaintiffs allege that they paid higher prices for the Companys DORYX products as a result of the Companys and Maynes alleged actions preventing or delaying generic competition in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and/or state laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified injunctive relief, treble damages and/or attorneys fees. The court consolidated the purported class actions and the action filed by Mylan and ordered that all the pending cases proceed on the same schedule. On October 1, 2012, the Company and Mayne moved to dismiss in their entirety the claims of Mylan and the direct purchasers. The Company and Mayne moved to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs claims on October 31, 2012. Discovery is ongoing while the parties await the courts decisions on the pending motions to dismiss. On November 21, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission filed with the court an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiffs theory of relief. On February 5, 2013, four members of the putative direct purchaser antitrust class filed in the same court a civil antitrust complaint in their individual capacities against the Company and Mayne regarding DORYX. The complaint recites similar facts and asserts similar legal claims and relief to those asserted in the related cases described above.
The Company intends to vigorously defend its rights in the litigations. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. These proceedings are in the early stages of litigation, and an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
Bayer Patent Litigation
In August 2012, Bayer Pharma AG (together with its affiliates, Bayer) filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Companys manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of its LO LOESTRIN FE oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. 5,980,940. In the complaint, Bayer seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. In December 2012, Bayer amended the complaint to add a claim seeking to invalidate the Companys 984 Patent, which covers the LO LOESTRIN FE product.
F-272
On February 19, 2013, Bayer filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada alleging that the Companys LOESTRIN 24 FE oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. RE43,916. In the complaint, Bayer seeks unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement.
Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, the Company believes that it has a number of strong defenses to the allegations in the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the litigations. These cases are in the early stages of litigation, and an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
False Claims Act Litigation
In December 2009, the Company was served with a civil complaint brought by an individual plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, purportedly on behalf of the United States, alleging that the Company and over 20 other pharmaceutical manufacturers violated the False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1)(A), (B), by submitting false records or statements to the federal government, thereby causing Medicaid to pay for unapproved or ineffective drugs. The plaintiffs original complaint was filed under seal in 2002, but was not served on the Company until 2009. The complaint alleges that the Company submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) false information regarding the safety and effectiveness of certain nitroglycerin transdermal products. The plaintiff alleges that CMS included these products in its list of reimbursable prescription drugs and that, as a consequence, federal Medicaid allegedly reimbursed state Medicaid programs for a portion of the cost of such products. The plaintiff asserts that from 1996 until 2003 the federal Medicaid program paid approximately $10 to reimburse the states for such nitroglycerin transdermal products. The complaint seeks, among other things, treble damages; a civil penalty of up to ten thousand dollars for each alleged false claim; and costs, expenses and attorneys fees.
The Company intends to defend this action vigorously and currently believes that the complaint lacks merit. The Company has a number of defenses to the allegations in the complaint and has, along with its co-defendants, filed a joint motion to dismiss the action, which was heard on November 8, 2012. A decision on the motion is expected in 2013. In addition, the United States has declined to intervene in this action with respect to the Company. Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, an unfavorable outcome in these proceedings is not anticipated. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time.
Governmental Investigations
Beginning in February 2012, the Company, along with several current and former non-executive employees in its sales organization and certain third parties, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena received by the Company seeks information and documentation relating to a wide range of matters, including sales and marketing activities, payments to people who are in a position to recommend drugs, medical education, consultancies, prior authorization processes, clinical trials, off-label use and employee training (including with respect to laws and regulations concerning off-label information and physician remuneration), in each case relating to all of the Companys current key products. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena but cannot predict or determine the impact of this inquiry on its future financial condition or results of operations.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of $230 ($46 of related deferred tax assets) and $210 ($40 of related deferred tax assets), respectively. Included in these net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are $41 ($10 of related deferred tax assets) and $41 ($10 of related deferred tax assets), respectively, related to losses in the United Kingdom with an unlimited carryover period and $189 ($36 of related deferred tax assets) and $169 ($30 of related deferred tax assets), respectively, related to other jurisdictions which will expire in various fiscal years between 7 and 20 years from now, if not utilized. The Company also has credit carryforwards to future years of $1 in Puerto Rico and $1 in Ireland.
Based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets related to operating loss carryforwards, and certain other deferred assets, will not be realized in certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company recorded net, or after-tax, aggregate valuation allowances for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $43 (or $210 on a gross basis) and of $41 (or $196 on a gross basis), respectively. These valuation allowances primarily related to foreign cumulative net operating losses.
The Company intends to continue to reinvest accumulated earnings of our subsidiaries for the foreseeable future where a distribution of such earnings would give rise to an incremental tax liability; as such, no additional provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for differences related to investments in subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012, the cumulative amount of the Companys temporary difference relating to investments in subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration was approximately $993. The amount of the resulting unrecognized deferred tax liability related to this temporary difference was approximately $26.
Currently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing the Companys U.S. tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. The years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 are open for U.S. audit. The
F-275
years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are open for audit by the Puerto Rican tax authorities. In addition, certain state and other foreign jurisdictions for various periods are under audit. During 2012, the Company settled the IRS audit for the tax year ended December 31, 2007.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 on January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $58, $72 and $77, respectively, excluding interest and penalties. The amount, if recognized, that would impact the effective tax rate is $58, $72 and $77 as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next 12 months; it is reasonably possible that the Company may resolve some matters presently under consideration with tax authorities. Although the Company cannot determine the impact with certainty, it is reasonably possible that the change in the unrecognized tax benefits may be between $0 and $9.
The Companys U.S. operating entities (as they existed prior to the PGP Acquisition) entered into an advance pricing agreement (APA) with the IRS covering the calendar years 2006 through 2010. On December 27, 2012, the Companys U.S. operating entities (as they currently exist) signed two APAs with the IRS. The first APA specifies the agreed upon terms under which the Companys U.S. entities are compensated for distribution and service transactions between the Companys U.S. and non-U.S. entities for the calendar years 2011 through 2017. This APA provides the Company with greater certainty with respect to the mix of its pretax income in certain of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and is applicable to the Companys U.S. operations. The Company believes that its transfer pricing arrangements comply with existing U.S. and non-U.S. tax rules. The second APA reflects the Companys agreement with the IRS in respect of the transfer of certain intangible assets from one of the Companys U.S. subsidiaries to the Companys Puerto Rican subsidiary. The effect of the new APAs has been included in the recorded amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, including a reversal of $12 in reserves under ASC 740.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision / (benefit) for income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized approximately $2, $1 and $7 in interest and penalties, respectively. The Company had approximately $6, $4 and $8 for interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In December 2009, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce granted a tax ruling to the Company on behalf of its Puerto Rican subsidiary for industrial development income derived from its manufacturing, servicing and licensing activities subject to a reduced 2% income tax rate. Continued qualification for the tax ruling is subject to certain requirements. The tax ruling is effective through December 31, 2024.
F-276
Effective October 1, 2012, the Company considers its business to be a single segment entity constituting the development, manufacture and sale on a global basis of pharmaceutical products. The Companys chief operating decision maker (the CEO) evaluates the various global products on a net sales basis. Executives reporting in to the CEO include those responsible for operations and supply chain management, research and development, sales and certain corporate functions. The CEO evaluates profitability, investment and cash flow metrics on a consolidated worldwide basis due to shared infrastructure and resources. In addition, the CEO reviews U.S. revenue specifically as it constitutes the substantial majority of the Companys overall revenue. Prior to fiscal year 2012, the Companys business was organized as two segments: North America and the Rest of World, consistent with how the Companys business was run at that time.

19. Concentration of Credit Risk, Reliance on Significant Suppliers and Reliance on Major Products
The Company primarily distributes its pharmaceutical products through wholesalers and distributors. The Company considers there to be a concentration risk where any customer represents 10% or more of the Companys net sales and/or 10% or more of the Companys gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, gross accounts receivable from Cardinal Health, Inc. totaled $79 and $64, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, gross accounts receivable from McKesson Corporation totaled $70 and $115, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, gross accounts receivable from AmerisourceBergen Corporation totaled $45 and $44, respectively.
The following table shows revenues attributable to customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Companys total revenues:

In the event that a significant supplier (including a third-party manufacturer, packager or supplier of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API) suffers an event that causes it to be unable to manufacture or package the Companys product or meet the Companys API requirements for a sustained period and the Company is unable to obtain the product or API from an alternative supplier, the resulting shortages of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. The following table presents, by category of supplier, the percentage of the Companys total revenues generated from products provided by each individual third-party supplier accounting for 10% or more of the Companys total revenues.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has defined contribution plans which cover the majority of its U.S. employees, as well as certain employees in Western Europe. For U.S. employees, the Company makes matching contributions to a 401(k) savings plan, subject to the limitations described below. Similar defined contribution plans are in place in the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, certain other countries in Western Europe, Canada and Australia. The U.S. plan provides eligible employees with the option to defer amounts not in excess of 15% of his or her compensation. The Company makes matching contributions to the plan on behalf of all participants who make elective deferrals. The Company contributes and allocates to each participants account matching contributions equal to 75% of up to 6% of the participants compensation. The Companys contributions vest at 25% per year up to 100% at the participants completion of four years of employment. The U.S. defined contribution plan comprises the majority of the expense for the Companys defined contribution plans.
The Companys total global contributions to all defined contribution plans were $6, $7 and $9 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
F-279
Defined Benefit Retirement Plans
The Company has defined benefit retirement pension plans covering certain employees in Western Europe. Retirement benefits are generally based on an employees years of service and compensation. Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local country practices and market circumstances. The Swiss plan is partially employee funded, but the employee contributions were not material. The Company contributed $5, $8 and $65 to these non-U.S. retirement plans during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as further discussed below.

The underfunding of pension benefits is primarily a function of the different funding incentives that exist outside of the United States. In certain countries, there are no legal requirements or financial incentives provided to companies to pre-fund pension obligations. In these instances, benefit payments are typically paid directly by the Company as they become due.
Balances recognized within accumulated other comprehensive loss that have not been recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs are as follows:

Assumptions and Investment Policies
Weighted average assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligations of the Companys defined benefit plans are as follows:
Defined Benefit As of December 31, |
||||||||||||
2012 | 2011 | 2010 | ||||||||||
Non-U.S. assumed discount rate |
3.4 | % | 5.4 | % | 5.1 | % | ||||||
Non-U.S. average long-term pay progression |
3.0 | % | 2.9 | % | 3.0 | % |
These assumptions are weighted to reflect each country that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits.
Weighted average assumptions used to calculate the net periodic benefit cost of the Companys defined benefit plans were as follows:
Defined Benefit As of December 31, |
||||||||||||
2012 | 2011 | 2010 | ||||||||||
Non-U.S. assumed discount rate |
5.1 | % | 5.0 | % | 4.9 | % | ||||||
Non-U.S. assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets |
4.2 | % | 1.4 | % | 2.8 | % | ||||||
Non-U.S. average long-term pay progression |
3.0 | % | 2.9 | % | 2.9 | % |
In order to select a discount rate for purposes of valuing the plan obligations the Company uses returns of long-term investment grade bonds. For non-U.S. plans, available indices are adjusted as needed to fit the estimated duration of the plan liabilities.
Several factors are considered in developing the estimate for the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets. For the defined benefit retirement plans, these include historical rates of return of broad equity and bond indices and projected long-term rates of return obtained from pension investment consultants. The results are adjusted for the payments of reasonable expenses of the plan from plan assets. The expected long-term rates of return for plan assets are 1.75% 4.5%. The Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate based upon the mix of the investments and the long-term nature of the plans investments.
The following table projects the benefits expected to be paid to participants from the plans as of December 31, 2012 in each of the following years, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate. The majority of the payments will be paid from plan assets and not Company assets.

Plan Assets
The Companys management, along with the trustee of the plans assets, will minimize investment risk by thoroughly assessing potential investments based on indicators of historical returns and current ratings. Additionally, investments will be diversified by type and geography. The fair value of the Companys plan assets approximates book value as the majority of the assets at December 31, 2012 were held in fixed income securities and cash equivalents.
The following table presents information about the Companys asset allocation:

Leases and rental expenses totaled $15, $18 and $20 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In September 2012, certain of the Companys shareholders sold 42,864,843 ordinary shares at a price of $13.10 per share in a registered public offering (the 2012 Secondary Offering). The selling shareholders included affiliates of Bain Capital Investors, LLC, JPMP Capital Corp. and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (collectively, the Remaining Sponsors) and certain members of the Companys senior management team. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares but did pay expenses. Immediately following the 2012 Secondary Offering, the Remaining Sponsors collectively owned approximately 14% of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares. Prior to the 2012 Secondary Offering, the Remaining Sponsors collectively owned approximately 31% of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares. In November 2012, the Company was informed by a representative of J.P. Morgan Partners that such funds had divested all of such funds holdings of the Companys shares. Following such sale, the remaining Sponsors collectively owned approximately 9% of the Companys ordinary shares.
In November 2012, the Company and certain other parties to the Management Shareholders Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2005, by and among the Company and certain other persons named therein (including certain members of the Companys management team and the Remaining Sponsors) (as amended, the Management Shareholders Agreement) terminated the Management Shareholders Agreement (the
F-283
Termination). The Termination terminates certain restrictions on transfer applicable to shares of the Company held by members of management that were parties to the Management Shareholders Agreement, as well as certain piggy-back registration rights held by such members of management.

2. Actavis Transaction
On October 1, 2013, pursuant to the transaction agreement, dated May 19, 2013, among Actavis, Inc. (Actavis), Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company (Warner Chilcott), Actavis plc (New Actavis and formerly known as Actavis Limited), Actavis Ireland Holding Limited, Actavis W.C. Holding LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding Inc.) and Actavis W.C. Holding 2 LLC (now known as Actavis W.C. Holding 2 Inc.) (MergerSub) (the Transaction Agreement), (a) New Actavis acquired Warner Chilcott (the Acquisition) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Section 201, and a capital reduction under Sections 72 and 74, of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 and (b) MergerSub merged with and into Actavis, with Actavis as the surviving corporation in the merger (the Merger and, together with the Acquisition, the Transactions). Following the consummation of the Transactions, each of Actavis and Warner Chilcott became wholly owned subsidiaries of New Actavis. Warner Chilcott is an acquiree for accounting and financial reporting purposes beginning on October 1, 2013.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, each Warner Chilcott ordinary share (other than those held by Actavis or any of its affiliates) (the Warner Chilcott Ordinary Shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.160 of a New Actavis ordinary share, and each Actavis common share (the Actavis Common Shares) was converted into the right to receive one New Actavis ordinary share. The aggregate value of the Acquisition was approximately $9 billion.
Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), New Actavis is the successor issuer to Actavis and to Warner Chilcott, New Actavis ordinary shares are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and New Actavis is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. New Actavis ordinary shares were approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and trade under the symbol ACT. The Actavis Common Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NYSE. The Warner Chilcott Ordinary Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the NASDAQ). As a result of the merger, the Warner Chilcott Ordinary Shares and the Actavis Common Shares have been delisted from the NASDAQ and the NYSE, respectively. On September 30, 2013, NASDAQ Stock Market LLC filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to effect the delisting of the Warner Chilcott Ordinary Shares from the NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Warner Chilcott Ordinary Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). On October 11, 2013, Warner Chilcott filed a Form 15 to voluntarily suspend its duty to file periodic and other reports with the SEC.
F-289
As a result of the Acquisition, the Company incurred material financial impacts on October 1, 2013, that are discussed further in this document, including, but not limited to (i) the refinancing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below), (ii) the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding equity awards and (iii) the incurrence of third party general and administrative overhead expenses, primarily relating to expenses associated with the Companys advisors. In addition, account balances will be impacted by acquisition method accounting under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 Business Combinations.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following are interim updates to certain of the policies described in Note 2 of the notes to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Annual Report.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: trade discounts, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee for service arrangements with certain distributors. The Company establishes provisions for its sales-related deductions in the same period that it recognizes the related gross sales based on select criteria for estimating such contra revenues including, but not limited to: contract terms, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, costs related to the programs and other historical data. These reserves reduce revenues and are included as either a reduction of accounts receivable or as a component of liabilities. No material revisions were made to the methodology used in determining these reserves during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts related to all sales-related deductions included as a reduction of accounts receivable were $28 million and $31 million, respectively. The amounts related to all sales-related reductions included as liabilities were $385 million (of which $120 million related to reserves for product returns) and $434 million (of which $118 million related to reserves for product returns) as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The provisions recorded to reduce gross sales to net sales were $163 million and $203 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $536 million and $649 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In early 2010, the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 was signed into law. This statute impacts the Companys net sales by increasing certain rebates it pays per prescription, most notably managed Medicaid rebates and the Medicare Part D, or donut hole rebates. Included in the provisions recorded to reduce gross sales to net sales are the current provisions related to sales due to the increased Medicaid rebates and donut hole rebates, which totaled $16 million and $14 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $46 million and $49 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Deferred Loan Costs
Expenses associated with the issuance of indebtedness are capitalized and amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the respective financing arrangements using the effective interest method. In the event that long-term debt is prepaid, the deferred loan costs associated with such indebtedness are expensed as a component of interest expense in the period in which such prepayment is made. Interest expense resulting from the amortization and write-offs of deferred loan costs amounted to $8 million and $15 million in the quarters
F-290
ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $33 million and $32 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $47 million and $80 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, of which $11 million and $16 million were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively, and $36 million and $64 million were recorded in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
On October 1, 2013, in connection with the refinancing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as discussed further in Note 12, the Company extinguished the then outstanding Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) and incurred a non-cash interest expense relating to the write-off of deferred loan costs due to such refinancing being deemed a debt modification requiring debt extinguishment treatment in accordance with ASC 405-20 Extinguishment of Liabilities.
Restructuring Costs
The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, employee severance costs are accrued when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits where the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Curtailment (gains) / losses associated with defined benefit arrangements for severed employees are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 715 Compensation Retirement Benefits. See Note 4 for more information.

In April 2011, the Company announced a plan to restructure its operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The restructuring did not impact the Companys operations at its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, its facilities in Dundalk, Ireland, Larne, Northern Ireland or Weiterstadt, Germany or its commercial operations in the United Kingdom. The Company determined to proceed with the restructuring following the completion of a strategic review of its operations in its Western European markets where its product ACTONEL lost exclusivity in late 2010. ACTONEL accounted for approximately 70% of the Companys Western European revenues in the year ended December 31, 2010. In connection with the restructuring, the Company has moved to a wholesale distribution model in the affected jurisdictions to minimize operational costs going forward. The implementation of the restructuring plan impacted approximately 500 employees in total. There were no charges incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring income of $3 million, which was comprised of pretax severance income of $3 million recorded based on estimated future payments in accordance with specific contractual terms and employee specific events and pension-related curtailment gains of $1 million, offset, in part, by non-personnel related costs of $1 million.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred pretax severance costs of zero and other restructuring costs of $1 million, which were offset, in full, by pension-related curtailment gains of $1 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $50 million, which were comprised of pretax severance costs of $57 million and other restructuring costs of $2 million, offset, in part, by pension-related curtailment gains of $9 million.
The Company does not expect to record any material expenses or gains relating to the Western European restructuring in future periods. The majority of the remaining severance-related costs and other liabilities are expected to be settled in cash within the next twelve months.

5. ENABLEX Acquisition
The Company and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis) were parties to an agreement to co-promote ENABLEX, developed by Novartis, in the United States. On October 18, 2010, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to ENABLEX from Novartis for an upfront payment of $400 million in cash at closing, plus potential future milestone payments of up to $20 million in the aggregate subject to the achievement of pre-defined 2011 and 2012 ENABLEX net sales thresholds (the ENABLEX Acquisition). At the time of the ENABLEX Acquisition, $420 million was recorded as a component of intangible assets and is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the period of the projected cash flows for the product. Concurrent with the closing of the ENABLEX Acquisition, the Company and Novartis terminated their existing co-promotion agreement, and the Company assumed full control of sales and marketing of ENABLEX in the U.S. market. In connection with the ENABLEX Acquisition, Novartis agreed to manufacture ENABLEX for the Company until October 31, 2013. Novartis also currently packages ENABLEX for the Company.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company concluded that it was no longer probable, as defined by ASC Topic 450 Contingencies, that the contingent milestone payments to Novartis would be required to be paid. As a result, the Company reversed the related liability and recorded a $20 million gain, which reduced selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
6. Shareholders (Deficit)
In November 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the redemption of up to an aggregate of $250 million of its ordinary shares (the Prior Redemption Program). Pursuant to the Prior Redemption Program, the Company recorded the redemption of 1.9 million ordinary shares (at an aggregate cost of $32 million), in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Following the settlement of such redemptions, the Company cancelled all shares redeemed. As a result of the redemptions recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, in accordance with ASC Topic 505 Equity, the Company recorded a decrease in ordinary shares at par value of $0.01 per share, and an increase in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price above par value in accumulated deficit of approximately $32 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Prior Redemption Program allowed the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $250 million of its ordinary shares and was to terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or the redemption by the Company of an aggregate of $250 million of its ordinary shares. On August 7, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the renewal of the Prior Redemption Program. The renewed program (the Current Redemption Program) replaced the Prior Redemption Program and allowed the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $250 million of its ordinary shares in addition to those redeemed under the Prior Redemption
F-292
Program. The Current Redemption Program was set to terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or the redemption by the Company of an aggregate of $250 million of its ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had not redeemed any ordinary shares under the Current Redemption Program. In connection with the Transactions, on October 1, 2013, each Warner Chilcott Ordinary Share (other than those held by Actavis or any of its affiliates) was converted into the right to receive 0.160 of a New Actavis ordinary share and therefore, there are no ordinary shares for future redemptions remaining.
On August 7, 2012, the Company announced a dividend policy (the Dividend Policy) relating to the payment of a total annual cash dividend to its ordinary shareholders of $0.50 per share in equal semi-annual installments of $0.25 per share. On June 14, 2013, the Company paid a semi-annual cash dividend under the Dividend Policy in the amount of $0.25 per share, or $63 million in the aggregate. At the time of the semi-annual dividend the Companys retained earnings were in a deficit position and consequently the semi-annual dividend reduced the additional paid-in-capital of the Company from $17 million to zero as of May 31, 2013 and increased the Companys accumulated deficit by $46 million.
The Company has operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada and many other Western European countries. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss). The Company also realizes foreign currency gains / (losses) in the normal course of business based on movement in the applicable exchange rates. These gains / (losses) are included as a component of SG&A.

7. Earnings Per Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. The numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS is an amount equal to the consolidated net income for the periods presented. The denominator in calculating basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. The denominator in calculating diluted EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock option grants and unvested restricted share/share unit grants for the respective periods. The following sets forth the basic and diluted calculations of EPS for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

The Prior Redemption Program decreased each of the weighted average basic shares outstanding and the weighted average diluted shares outstanding by 1.9 million shares and 1.7 million shares during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The remaining 0.2 million shares redeemed in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were not included in the calculation of basic or diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as their impact was anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

8. Sanofi Collaboration Agreement
The Company and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi) are parties to a collaboration agreement pursuant to which the parties co-develop and market ACTONEL on a global basis, excluding Japan (the Collaboration Agreement). ATELVIA, the Companys risedronate sodium delayed-release product launched in January 2011 and currently sold in the United States and Canada, is also marketed pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. As a result of ACTONELs loss of patent exclusivity in Western Europe in late 2010 and as part of the Companys transition to a wholesale distribution model in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the Company and/or Sanofi reduced or discontinued marketing and promotional efforts in certain territories covered by the Collaboration Agreement. Under the Collaboration Agreement, the Companys and Sanofis rights and obligations are specified by geographic market. For example, under the Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi generally has the right to elect to participate in the development of ACTONEL-related product improvements, other than product improvements specifically related to the United States and Puerto Rico, where the Company has full control over all product development decisions following the April 2010 amendment discussed below. Under the Collaboration Agreement following the April 2010 amendment, the ongoing global research and development (R&D) costs for ACTONEL are shared equally between the parties, except for R&D costs specifically related to the United States and Puerto Rico, which are borne solely by the Company. In certain geographic markets, the Company and Sanofi share selling and advertising and promotion (A&P) costs, as well as product profits based on contractual percentages. In the geographic markets where the Company is deemed to be the principal in transactions with customers and invoices sales, the Company recognizes all revenues from sales of the product along with the related product costs. In these markets, all selling and A&P expenses incurred by the Company and all contractual payments to Sanofi are recognized in SG&A expenses. In geographic markets where Sanofi is deemed to be the principal in transactions with customers and invoices sales, the Companys share of selling and A&P expenses is recognized in SG&A expenses, and the Company recognizes its share of income attributable to the contractual payments made by Sanofi to the Company in these territories, on a net basis, as a component of other revenue.
In April 2010, the Company and Sanofi entered into an amendment to the Collaboration Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company took full operational control over the promotion, marketing and R&D decisions for ACTONEL and ATELVIA in the United States and Puerto Rico, and assumed responsibility for all associated costs relating to those activities. Prior to the amendment, the Company shared such costs with Sanofi in these territories. The Company remained the principal in transactions with customers in the United States and Puerto Rico and continues to invoice all sales in these territories. In return, it was agreed
F-295
that for the remainder of the term of the Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi would receive, as part of the global collaboration agreement between the parties, payments from the Company which, depending on actual net sales in the United States and Puerto Rico, are based on the lower of (i) an agreed percentage of either United States and Puerto Rico actual net sales or (ii) an agreed sales threshold for the territory. As of September 30, 2013, the fixed minimum payments under the Collaboration Agreement relating to the United States and Puerto Rico totaled $125 million, all of which will be payable in the year ending December 31, 2014.
On October 28, 2013, Warner Chilcott Company, LLC (WCCL), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Sanofi entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to the Collaboration Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties amended the Collaboration Agreement with respect to ACTONEL and ATELVIA in the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the Exclusive Territory) to provide that, in exchange for the payment of a lump sum of $125 million by WCCL to Sanofi in the year ended December 31, 2013, WCCLs obligations with respect to the global reimbursement payment, which represented a percentage of Actavis net sales as defined, as it relates to the Exclusive Territory for the year ended December 31, 2014 shall be satisfied in full. The Amendment does not apply to or affect the parties respective rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to (i) the remainder of 2013 or (ii) territories outside the Exclusive Territory.
The Company will continue to sell ACTONEL and ATELVIA products with Sanofi in accordance with its obligations under the Collaboration Agreement until the termination of the Collaboration Agreement on January 1, 2015, at which time all of Sanofis rights under the Collaboration Agreement will revert to the Company. Thereafter, the Company will have the sole right to market and promote ACTONEL and ATELVIA on a global basis, excluding Japan.
For the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized net sales, other revenue and co-promotion expenses as follows:

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Companys goodwill and a trademark have been deemed to have indefinite lives and are not amortized. The Companys acquired intellectual property, licensing agreements and certain trademarks that do not have indefinite lives are being amortized on either an economic benefit model, which typically results in accelerated amortization or on a straight-line basis over their useful lives not to exceed 15 years.

Aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets was $109 million and $122 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $329 million and $376 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company continuously reviews its products remaining useful lives based on each products estimated future cash flows. The Company may incur material impairment charges or accelerate the amortization of certain intangible assets based on triggering events that reduce expected future cash flows, including those events relating to the loss of market exclusivity for any of the Companys products as a result of the expiration of a patent, the expiration of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) exclusivity or an at-risk launch of a competing generic product. Based on the Companys review of future cash flows, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the nine months ended
F-297
September 30, 2012 of $106 million, $101 million of which was attributable to the impairment of the Companys DORYX intangible asset following the April 30, 2012 decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey holding that neither Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.s (Mylan) nor Impax Laboratories, Inc.s (Impax) proposed generic version of the Companys DORYX 150 mg product (DORYX 150) infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,958,161 covering DORYX 150 (the 161 Patent) and Mylans subsequent introduction of a generic product in early May 2012. For a discussion of the DORYX patent litigation and the Companys other ongoing patent litigation refer to Note 15.
As of September 30, 2013, estimated amortization expense based on current forecasts (excluding indefinite-lived intangible assets) for the period from October 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 and for each of the next five years is as follows:

12. Indebtedness
Senior Secured Credit Facilities (terminated on October 1, 2013)
On March 17, 2011, Warner Chilcott Holdings Company III, Limited (Holdings III), WC Luxco S.à r.l. (the Luxco Borrower), Warner Chilcott Corporation (WCC or the US Borrower) and WCCL (or the PR Borrower, and together with the Luxco Borrower and the US Borrower, the Borrowers) entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of lenders (the Lenders) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, in order to refinance the Companys then-outstanding senior secured credit facilities (the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided senior secured credit facilities (the Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities) in an aggregate amount of $3,250 million comprised of (i) $3,000 million in aggregate term loan facilities and (ii) a $250 million revolving credit facility available to all Borrowers (the Revolving Credit Facility). The term loan facilities were initially comprised of (i) a $1,250 million Term A Loan Facility (the Term A Loan) and (ii) a $1,750 million Term B Loan Facility consisting of an $800 million Term B-1 Loan, a $400 million Term B-2 Loan and a $550 million Term B-3 Loan (together, the Initial Term B Loans). The proceeds of these term loans, together with approximately $279 million of cash on hand, were used to make an optional prepayment of $250 million in aggregate term loans under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities, repay the remaining $2,969 million in aggregate term loans outstanding under the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities, terminate the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facilities and pay certain related fees, expenses and accrued interest.
On August 20, 2012, Holdings III and the Borrowers entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders provided additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (the Additional Term Loan Facilities and, together with the Initial Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities), which, together with cash on hand, were used to fund a special cash dividend in September 2012 of $4.00 per share, or $1,002 million in the aggregate (the 2012 Special Dividend), and to pay related fees and expenses. The Additional Term Loan Facilities were comprised of (i) a $250 million Term B-4 Loan Facility and a $50 million Term B-5 Loan Facility (collectively, the Term B-4/5 Loan) and (ii) a $300 million Additional Term B-1 Loan Facility (the Additional Term B-1 Loan).
The Term A Loan was set to mature on March 17, 2016 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, each of the Initial Term B Loans and the Additional Term B-1 Loan was set to mature on March 15, 2018 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and the Term B-4/5 Loan was set to mature on August 20, 2017 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with no LIBOR floor. The Revolving Credit Facility was set to mature on March 17, 2016 and included a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any swing line loans and letters of credit would have reduced the available commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Loans drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility were subject to a fee equal to 3.00% per annum on the amounts thereof. The Borrowers were also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate of 0.75% per annum, subject to leverage-based step-downs.
The loans and other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including in respect of hedging agreements and cash management obligations) were (i) guaranteed by Holdings III and substantially all of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) and (ii) were secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and each guarantor (subject to certain exceptions and limitations). In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contained (i) customary provisions related to mandatory prepayment of the loans thereunder with (a) 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, subject to a leverage-based step-down and (b) the proceeds of asset sales or casualty events (subject to certain limitations, exceptions and reinvestment rights) and the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness and (ii) certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of other indebtedness and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements and, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.
F-299
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities specified certain customary events of default including, without limitation, non-payment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default or cross acceleration of other material indebtedness, material judgments and liabilities, certain Employee Retirement Income Security Act events and invalidity of guarantees and security documents under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of the Companys then outstanding debt under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) under Level 2 based upon quoted prices for similar items in active markets, was approximately $2,039 million ($2,041 million book value) and $2,744 million ($2,718 million book value), respectively.
As of September 30, 2013, there were letters of credit totaling $2 million outstanding. As a result, the Company had $248 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made optional prepayments of $152 million and $552 million, respectively, of its term loan indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
New Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On October 1, 2013, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company completed the refinancing of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The new senior secured credit facilities were entered into by New Actavis, the Borrowers, Warner Chilcott Finance LLC, as a guarantor, and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent. The new senior secured credit facilities were comprised of $2,000 million of term loan indebtedness in the aggregate (the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities) and were used, together with other working capital, to refinance the Companys then outstanding Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities are comprised of $1,000 million of three year term loan indebtedness maturing on October 1, 2016 (the Three Year Tranche) and $1,000 million of five year term loan indebtedness maturing on October 1, 2018 (the Five Year Tranche).
Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at the applicable Borrowers choice at a per annum rate equal to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin per annum varying from (x) 0.00% per annum to 0.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 0.125% per annum to 0.875% per annum under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the debt rating or (b) a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin varying from (x) 1.00% per annum to 1.75% per annum under the Three Year Tranche and (y) 1.125% per annum to 1.875% per annum under the Five Year Tranche, depending on the debt rating.
The outstanding principal amount of loans under the Five Year Tranche is payable in equal quarterly amounts of 2.50% per quarter with the remaining balance payable on October 1, 2018. The outstanding principal amount of loans under the Three Year Tranche is not subject to quarterly amortization and shall be payable in full on October 1, 2016.
The borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be jointly and severally guaranteed by (i) New Actavis, (ii) each subsidiary of New Actavis (other than any Borrower) that is a primary obligor or a guarantor under the 7.75% Notes (as defined below) and (iii) any subsidiary (other than any Borrower) that becomes a guarantor of third party indebtedness of a Borrower in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $200 million (unless, in the case of a foreign subsidiary, such guarantee would give rise to adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by New Actavis).
7.75% Notes
On August 20, 2010, the Company and certain of the Companys subsidiaries entered into an indenture (the Indenture) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), in connection with the
F-300
issuance by WCCL and Warner Chilcott Finance LLC (together, the Issuers) of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior notes due 2018 (the 7.75% Notes). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers, guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions. The 7.75% Notes will mature on September 15, 2018. Interest on the 7.75% Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and the first payment was made on March 15, 2011.
On September 29, 2010, the Issuers issued an additional $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Notes at a premium of $10 million. The proceeds from the issuance of the additional 7.75% Notes were used by the Company to fund its $400 million upfront payment in connection with the ENABLEX Acquisition, which closed on October 18, 2010, and for general corporate purposes. The additional 7.75% Notes constitute a part of the same series, and have the same guarantors, as the 7.75% Notes issued in August 2010. The $10 million premium received was added to the face value of the 7.75% Notes and is being amortized over the life of the 7.75% Notes as a reduction to reported interest expense.
The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of each of Holdings III, and certain of Holdings IIIs subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make distributions on common and preferred stock, repurchase subordinated debt and common and preferred stock, make other restricted payments, make investments, sell certain assets, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Certain of these restrictive covenants will be suspended at any time when the 7.75% Notes are rated Investment Grade by each of S&P and Moodys and no Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case as described and defined in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains customary events of default which would permit the holders of the 7.75% Notes to declare those 7.75% Notes to be immediately due and payable if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the failure to make timely payments on the 7.75% Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to comply with covenants, and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
The fair value of the Companys outstanding 7.75% Notes ($1,250 million book value), as determined in accordance with ASC 820 under Level 2 based upon quoted prices for similar items in active markets, was $1,359 million and $1,325 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
On October 1, 2013, in connection with the completion of the Transactions, New Actavis, the Issuers and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trustee (the Trustee), entered into a third supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture, among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, with respect to the 7.75% Notes. Pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, New Actavis has provided a full and unconditional guarantee of the 7.75% Notes.
On October 1, 2013, the Issuers and the Trustee also entered into a Release of Guarantees of Certain Guarantors, pursuant to which the Companys guarantee of the 7.75% Notes was released and the guarantees of certain other guarantors were released, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

13. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Companys stock-based compensation, including grants of non-qualified time-based vesting options to purchase ordinary shares and grants of time-based and performance-based vesting restricted ordinary shares/share units, is measured at fair value on the date of grant and is recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. For purposes of computing the amount of stock-based compensation attributable to time-based vesting options and time-based vesting restricted ordinary shares/share units expensed in any period, the Company treats such equity grants as serial grants with separate vesting dates. This treatment results in accelerated recognition of share-based compensation expense whereby 52% of the compensation is recognized in year one, 27% is recognized in year two, 15% is recognized in year three, and 6% is recognized in the final year of vesting. The Company treats performance-based vesting restricted ordinary share/share unit grants as vesting evenly over a four year vesting period, subject to the achievement of annual performance targets.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $6 million and $5 million, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $19 million and $17 million, respectively. Unrecognized future stock-based compensation expense was $32 million as of September 30, 2013. This amount was set to be recognized as an expense over a remaining weighted average period of 1.2 years. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense on October 1, 2013 resulting from the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding awards of restricted shares/share units pursuant to the terms of the Companys award agreements.
F-302
The Company has granted equity-based incentives to its employees comprised of restricted ordinary shares/share units and non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares. All restricted ordinary shares/share units (whether time-based vesting or performance-based vesting) are granted and expensed, using the closing market price per share on the applicable grant date, over a four year vesting period. Non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares are granted to employees at exercise prices per share equal to the closing market price per share on the date of grant.
The fair value of non-qualified options is determined on the applicable grant date using the Black-Scholes method of valuation and that amount is recognized as an expense over the four year vesting period. In establishing the value of the options on each grant date, the Company uses its actual historical volatility for its ordinary shares to estimate the expected volatility at each grant date. Beginning in September 2012, the dividend yield is calculated on the day of grant using the annual expected dividend under the Dividend Policy of $0.50 per share divided by the closing stock price on that given day. The options have a term of ten years. The Company assumes that the options will be exercised, on average, in six years. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the fair value of the options is based on the following assumptions:
Nine months ended September 30, 2013 |
Year ended December 31, 2012 |
|||||||
Dividend yield |
2.54 - 3.49 | % | 0 - 4.15 | % | ||||

Risk-free interest rate |
1.78 - 2.49 | % | 1.76 - 1.87 | % | ||||
Expected term (years) |
6.00 | 6.00 |
The weighted average remaining contractual term of all outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares granted was 6 years as of September 30, 2013.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Product Development Agreements
In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Paratek Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Paratek) under which it acquired certain rights to novel tetracyclines under development for the treatment of acne and rosacea. The Company paid an up-front fee of $4 million and agreed to reimburse Paratek for R&D expenses incurred during the term of the agreement. In September 2010, the Company made a $1 million milestone payment to Paratek upon the achievement of a developmental milestone. In June 2012, the Company made a $2 million milestone payment to Paratek upon the achievement of a developmental milestone which was included in R&D expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company may make additional payments to Paratek upon the achievement of certain developmental milestones that could aggregate up to $21 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay royalties to Paratek based on the net sales, if any, of the products covered under the agreement.
In December 2008, the Company signed an agreement (the Dong-A Agreement) with Dong-A PharmTech Co. Ltd. (Dong-A), to develop and, if approved, market its orally-administered udenafil product, a PDE5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in the United States. The Company paid $2 million in connection with signing the Dong-A Agreement. In March 2009, the Company paid $9 million to Dong-A upon the achievement of a developmental milestone related to the ED product under the Dong-A Agreement. The Company agreed to pay for all development costs incurred during the term of the Dong-A Agreement with respect to development of the ED product to be marketed in the United States, and the Company may make additional payments to Dong-A of up to $13 million upon the achievement of contractually-defined milestones in relation to the ED product. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a profit-split to Dong-A based on operating profit (as defined in the Dong-A Agreement), if any, resulting from the commercial sale of the ED product.
F-304
In February 2009, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to Apricus Biosciences, Inc.s (formerly NexMed, Inc.) (Apricus) topically applied alprostadil cream for the treatment of ED and a prior license agreement between the Company and Apricus relating to the product was terminated. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid Apricus an up-front payment of $3 million. The Company also agreed to make a milestone payment of $2 million upon the FDAs approval of the products New Drug Application. The Company continues to work to prepare its response to the non-approvable letter that the FDA delivered to Apricus in July 2008 with respect to the product.
In April 2010, the Company amended the Dong-A Agreement to add the right to develop, and if approved, market in the United States and Canada, Dong-As udenafil product for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). As a result of this amendment, the Company made an up-front payment to Dong-A of $20 million in April 2010. Under the amendment, the Company may make additional payments to Dong-A in an aggregate amount of up to $25 million upon the achievement of contractually-defined milestones in relation to the BPH product. These payments would be in addition to the potential milestone payments in relation to the ED product described above. The Company also agreed to pay Dong-A a percentage of net sales of the BPH product in the United States and Canada, if any.
The Company and Sanofi are parties to the Collaboration Agreement pursuant to which they co-develop and market ACTONEL on a global basis, excluding Japan. ATELVIA, the Companys risedronate sodium delayed-release product launched in January 2011 and currently sold in the United States and Canada, is also marketed pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. See Note 8 for additional information related to the Collaboration Agreement.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
In March 2012, the Companys Fajardo, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility received a warning letter from the FDA. The warning letter raised certain violations of current Good Manufacturing Practices originally identified in a Form 483 observation letter issued by the FDA after an inspection of the Companys Fajardo facility in June and July 2011. More specifically, the warning letter indicated that the Company failed to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its corrective actions to ensure that certain stability issues concerning OVCON 50 were adequately addressed. In addition, the FDA cited the Companys stability issues with OVCON 50 and the Companys evaluation of certain other quality data, in expressing its general concerns with respect to the performance of the Companys Fajardo quality control unit.
The Company takes these matters seriously and submitted a written response to the FDA in April 2012. Following its receipt of the Form 483 observation letter, the Company immediately initiated efforts to address the issues identified by the FDA. In March and April 2013, the FDA re-inspected the Fajardo facility and issued a Form 483 observation letter at the conclusion thereof that identified two observations, which did not directly relate to the issues listed in the warning letter. The Company provided its response to such observations to the FDA in early May 2013. In June 2013, the FDA issued the Company a warning letter close out letter, informing the Company that it had addressed the issues raised by the FDA in the warning letter.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company incurred $34 million of SG&A expenses on October 1, 2013. These fees were contingent upon the successful completion of the Acquisition and were paid to the Companys advisors.
15. Legal Proceedings
General Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, antitrust litigation, false claims act litigation, employment litigation and other litigation, as
F-305
well as government investigations. The outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, and the Company may from time to time enter into settlements to resolve such proceedings that could result, among other things, in the sale of generic versions of the Companys products prior to the expiration of its patents.
The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company maintains insurance with respect to potential litigation in the normal course of its business based on its consultation with its insurance consultants and outside legal counsel, and in light of current market conditions, including cost and availability. The Company is responsible for any losses from such litigation that are not covered under its litigation insurance.
The following discussion is limited to the Companys material on-going legal proceedings:
Product Liability Litigation
Hormone Therapy Product Liability Litigation
Beginning in early 2004, a number of product liability suits were filed against the Company as well as numerous other pharmaceutical companies, for personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of hormone replacement therapy products, including but not limited to Warner Chilcott products FEMHRT, ESTRACE, ESTRACE Cream and medroxyprogesterone acetate. Under the purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which we acquired FEMHRT from Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) in 2003, we agreed to assume certain product liability exposure with respect to claims made against Pfizer after March 5, 2003 and tendered to us relating to FEMHRT products. We successfully tendered 94 cases involving ESTRACE to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) pursuant to an indemnification provision in the asset purchase agreement pursuant to which we acquired this product. The purchase agreement included an indemnification agreement whereby BMS indemnified us for product liability exposure associated with ESTRACE products shipped prior to July 2001.
Many of the cases originally filed against the Company have been dismissed. Approximately 12 cases remain pending against Warner Chilcott and/or other Company affiliates in state and federal courts and that have not been tendered successfully to other parties. The remaining cases are pending in various courts including a consolidated action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas (In re: Prempro Products Liability Litigation, MDL Docket No. 1507) as well as proceedings in the federal district court for the District of Minnesota and in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. Discovery in the individual cases has not been completed. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
ACTONEL Product Liability Litigation
The Company is a defendant in approximately 281 cases and a potential defendant with respect to approximately 390 unfiled claims involving a total of approximately 679 plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs relating to the Companys bisphosphonate prescription drug ACTONEL. The claimants allege, among other things, that ACTONEL caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare but serious condition that involves severe loss or destruction of the jawbone, and/or atypical fractures of the femur (AFF). All of the cases have been filed in either federal or state courts in the United States. The Company is in the initial stages of discovery in these litigations. The 390 unfiled claims involve potential plaintiffs that have agreed, pursuant to a tolling agreement, to postpone the filing of their claims against the Company in exchange for the Companys agreement to suspend the statutes of limitations relating to their potential claims. In addition, the Company is aware of four purported product liability class actions that were brought against the Company in provincial courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that ACTONEL caused the plaintiffs and the proposed class members who ingested ACTONEL to suffer atypical fractures or other side effects. It is expected that these plaintiffs will
F-306
seek class certification. Of the approximately 679 total ACTONEL-related claims, approximately 147 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 508 include AFF-related claims and approximately 4 include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. The Company is reviewing these lawsuits and potential claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously.
Sanofi, which co-promotes ACTONEL with the Company on a global basis pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, is a defendant in many of the Companys ACTONEL product liability cases. In some of the cases, manufacturers of other bisphosphonate products are also named as defendants. Plaintiffs have typically asked for unspecified monetary and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys fees. Under the Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi has agreed to indemnify the Company, subject to certain limitations, for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in Canada relating to ACTONEL and for 50% of the losses from any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to ACTONEL brought prior to April 1, 2010, which would include approximately 90 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries that were pending as of March 31, 2010 and not subsequently dismissed. Pursuant to the April 2010 amendment to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company will be fully responsible for any product liability claims in the United States and Puerto Rico relating to ACTONEL brought on or after April 1, 2010. The Company may be liable for product liability, warranty or similar claims in relation to products acquired from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) in October 2009 in connection with the Companys acquisition (the PGP Acquisition) of P&Gs global branded pharmaceuticals business (PGP), including ONJ-related claims that were pending as of the closing of the PGP Acquisition. The Companys agreement with P&G provides that P&G will indemnify the Company, subject to certain limits, for 50% of the Companys losses from any such claims, including approximately 88 claims relating to ONJ and other alleged injuries, pending as of October 30, 2009 and not subsequently dismissed.
The Company currently maintains product liability insurance coverage for claims aggregating between $30 million and $170 million, subject to certain terms, conditions and exclusions, and is otherwise responsible for any losses from such claims. The terms of the Companys current and prior insurance programs vary from year to year and the Companys insurance may not apply to, among other things, damages or defense costs related to the above mentioned HT or ACTONEL-related claims, including any claim arising out of HT or ACTONEL products with labeling that does not conform completely to FDA approved labeling.
In May 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in respect of up to 74 ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. The Company recorded a charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in the amount of $2 million in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies in connection with the Companys entry into the settlement agreement. This charge represents the Companys current estimate of the aggregate amount that is probable to be paid by the Company in connection with the settlement agreement. In October 2013, the Company entered into a separate settlement agreement in respect of up to 53 additional ONJ-related claims, subject to the acceptance thereof by the individual respective claimants. Assuming that all of the relevant claimants accept the settlement agreements, approximately 545 ACTONEL-related claims would remain outstanding, of which approximately 28 include ONJ-related claims, approximately 498 include AFF-related claims and approximately 4 include both ONJ and AFF-related claims. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty (i) the number of such individual claimants that will accept the settlement agreement or (ii) the outcome of any litigation with claimants rejecting the settlement or other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other ACTONEL-related claims, and the Company can offer no assurance as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters. An estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to proceedings with (i) claimants rejecting the settlement or (ii) other plaintiffs and potential plaintiffs with ONJ, AFF or other ACTONEL-related claims is not possible at this time.

Gastroenterology Patent Matters
ASACOL HD
In September 2011, the Company received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (together with its affiliates, Zydus) indicating that Zydus had submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of the Companys ASACOL 800 mg product (ASACOL HD). Zydus contends that the Companys U.S. Patent No. 6,893,662, expiring in November 2021 (the 662 Patent), is invalid and/or not infringed. In addition, Zydus indicated that it had submitted a Paragraph III certification with respect to Medeva Pharma Suisse AGs (Medeva) U.S. Patent No. 5,541,170 (the 170 Patent) and U.S. Patent No. 5,541,171 (the 171 Patent), formulation and method patents which the Company exclusively licenses from Medeva covering the Companys ASACOL products, consenting to the delay of FDA approval of the ANDA product until the 170 Patent and the 171 Patent expired in July 2013. In November 2011, the Company filed a lawsuit against Zydus in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Zydus with infringement of the 662 Patent. The lawsuit results in a stay of FDA approval of Zydus ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of the Zydus notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 662 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the pending litigation will be decided, whether the lawsuit will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ASACOL HD will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 662 Patent in 2021. On December 7, 2013, we reached a settlement in principle with Zydus. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement in principle, Zydus will be permitted to launch its ANDA version of ASACOL HD on November 15, 2015. If Zydus does not obtain FDA approval of its ANDA version of ASACOL HD by July 1, 2016, the Company will provide Zydus with an authorized generic version of the product for sale within the United States. The settlement remains subject to execution of definitive documentation.
Osteoporosis Patent Matters
ACTONEL
ACTONEL Once-a-Month
In August 2008, December 2008 and January 2009, PGP and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (Roche) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Teva, Sun and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (together Apotex), indicating that each such company had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of the ACTONEL 150 mg product (ACTONEL OaM). The notice letters contended that Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,192,938 (the 938 Patent), a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to PGP with respect to ACTONEL OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. PGP and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Teva in September 2008, Sun in January 2009 and Apotex in March 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 938 Patent. The lawsuits resulted in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of PGPs and Roches receipt of notice, subject to the prior resolution of the matters before the court. The stay of approval of each of Tevas, Suns and Apotexs ANDAs has expired, and the FDA has tentatively approved Tevas ANDA with respect to ACTONEL OaM. However, none of the defendants challenged the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, including ACTONEL OaM, and does not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). As a result, the Company does not believe that any of the defendants will be permitted to market their proposed generic versions of ACTONEL OaM prior to June 2014.
On February 24, 2010, the Company and Roche received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Mylan indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of ACTONEL OaM. The notice letter contends that the 938 Patent, which expires in November 2023 and covers ACTONEL OaM, is invalid and/or will not be infringed. The Company and Roche filed a patent suit against Mylan in April 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging Mylan with
F-308
infringement of the 938 Patent based on its proposed generic version of ACTONEL OaM. The lawsuit resulted in a stay of FDA approval of Mylans ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys and Roches receipt of notice, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The stay of approval of Mylans ANDA has now expired. Since Mylan did not challenge the validity of the underlying 122 Patent, which expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, the Company does not believe that Mylan will be permitted to market its proposed ANDA product prior to the June 2014 expiration of the 122 Patent (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
In October, November and December 2010 and February 2011, the Company and Roche received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan, respectively, indicating that each such company had amended its existing ANDA covering generic versions of ACTONEL OaM to include a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Roches U.S. Patent No. 7,718,634 (the 634 Patent). The notice letters contended that the 634 Patent, a method patent expiring in November 2023 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) which Roche licensed to the Company with respect to ACTONEL OaM, was invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. The Company and Roche filed patent infringement suits against Sun and Apotex in December 2010, against Teva in January 2011 and against Mylan in March 2011 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware charging each with infringement of the 634 Patent. The Company believes that no additional 30-month stay is available in these matters because the 634 Patent was listed in the FDAs Orange Book subsequent to the date on which Sun, Apotex, Teva and Mylan filed their respective ANDAs with respect to ACTONEL OaM. However, the underlying 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL products, including ACTONEL OaM, does not expire until June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
The Company and Roches actions against Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan for infringement of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent arising from each such partys proposed generic version of ACTONEL OaM were consolidated for all pretrial purposes, and a consolidated trial for those suits was previously expected to be held in July 2012. Following an adverse ruling in Roches separate ongoing patent infringement suit before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey relating to its Boniva® product, in which the court held that claims of the 634 Patent covering a monthly dosing regimen using ibandronate were invalid as obvious, Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylan filed a motion for summary judgment in the Companys ACTONEL OaM patent infringement litigation. In the motion, the defendants have sought to invalidate the asserted claims of the 938 Patent and 634 Patent, which cover a monthly dosing regimen using risedronate, on similar grounds. The previously scheduled trial has been postponed pending resolution of the new summary judgment motion. A hearing on Teva, Apotex, Sun and Mylans motions for summary judgment of invalidity and a separate motion by the Company and Roche for summary judgment of infringement took place on December 14, 2012. Oral arguments in Roches appeal of the adverse ruling concerning the 634 Patent in the Boniva® case took place on December 6, 2013. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not issued a decision.
To the extent that any ANDA filer also submitted a Paragraph IV certification with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,165,513 covering ACTONEL OaM, the Company has determined not to pursue an infringement action with respect to this patent. While the Company and Roche intend to vigorously defend the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent and protect their legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ACTONEL OaM will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 938 Patent and the 634 Patent in 2023 (including, in each case, a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity).
ATELVIA
In August and October 2011 and March 2012, the Company received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Watson Laboratories, Inc.Florida (together with Actavis, Inc. (formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and its subsidiaries, Actavis), Teva and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (together with its affiliates,
F-309
Ranbaxy) indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of ATELVIA 35 mg tablets (ATELVIA). The notice letters contend that the Companys U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,459 (the 459 Patent) and 7,645,460 (the 460 Patent), two formulation and method patents expiring in January 2028, are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. The Company filed a lawsuit against Actavis in October 2011, against Teva in November 2011 and against Ranbaxy in April 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 459 Patent and 460 Patent. On August 21, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 8,246,989 (the 989 Patent), a formulation patent expiring in January 2026. The Company listed the 989 Patent in the FDAs Orange Book, each of Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy amended its Paragraph IV certification notice letter to contend that the 989 Patent is invalid and/or not infringed, and the Company amended its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of such defendants original notice letter, subject to prior resolution of the matter before the court. The Company does not believe that the amendment of its complaints against Actavis, Teva and Ranbaxy to assert the 989 Patent will result in any additional 30-month stay. In addition, none of the ANDA filers certified against the 122 Patent, which covers all of the Companys ACTONEL and ATELVIA products and expires in June 2014 (including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity). On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. No trial date has been set.
In September 2013, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Impax indicating that it had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of ATELVIA. The notice letter contends that the 459 Patent, 460 Patent and 989 Patent are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. We filed a lawsuit against Impax on October 23, 2013 (Warner Chilcott Co., LLC et al. v. Impax Labs., Inc., Case No. 13-cv-6403) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging Impax with infringement of the 459 Patent, 460 Patent and 989 Patent. No schedule or trial date has been set, and the Impax case has not been consolidated with the Teva, Amneal Pharmaceuticals and Ranbaxy case.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 459 Patent, the 460 Patent and the 989 Patent and pursue its legal rights, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of ATELVIA will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 989 Patent in 2026 and/or the 459 Patent and the 460 Patent in 2028.
Hormonal Contraceptive Patent and Other Litigation Matters
Generess® Fe
On November 22, 2011, WCCL sued Mylan and Famy Care in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol and ferrous fumarate tablets, a generic version of the Companys Generess® Fe tablets (which is exclusively licensed by Warner Chilcott), would infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,667,050 (the 050 Patent) (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Mylan Inc., et al., Case No. 11cv6844). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. On December 12, 2011 we sued Lupin in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that sales of Lupins generic version of Generess® Fe would infringe the 050 Patent. (Warner Chilcott Company LLC v. Lupin Ltd., et al., Case No. 11cv7228). The complaint seeks injunctive relief. Our lawsuits against Mylan and Lupin have been consolidated and remain pending. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA is precluded from granting final approval to the generic applicants until the earlier of thirty months after the generic applicant provided us with notice of its ANDA filing or the generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation. The trial is scheduled to begin on January 13, 2014. The Company believes it has meritorious claims to prevent the generic applicants from launching a generic version of Generess Fe. However, if a generic applicant prevails in the pending litigation or launches a generic version of Generess Fe before the pending litigation is finally resolved, it could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
F-310
Other LOESTRIN 24 FE Litigation
On April 5, 2013, two putative class actions were filed in the federal district court (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Pub. Ltd. Co., et al., D.N.J., Civ. No. 13-02178, and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa., No. 13-01807) against Warner Chilcott (US), LLC and certain affiliates, Actavis, Inc. and certain affiliates, and Lupin, Ltd. and certain affiliates, alleging that our 2009 patent lawsuit settlements with Watson Pharmaceuticals, which at the time was an unrelated company, and Lupin Pharmaceuticals related to Loestrin 24 Fe® (norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, Loestrin 24®) are unlawful. The complaints, both asserted on behalf of putative classes of end-payors, generally allege that in exchange for substantial payments from the Company, Watson and Lupin improperly delayed launching generic versions of Loestrin 24® in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The complaints each seek declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. On April 15, 2013, the plaintiff in New York Hotel Trades withdrew its complaint and, on April 16, 2013, refiled it in the federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Assoc. of New York City, Inc. Health Benefits Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa., Civ. No. 13-02000). Additional complaints have been filed by different plaintiffs seeking to represent the same putative class of end-payors (A.F. of L. A.G.C. Building Trades Welfare Plan v. Warner Chilcott, et al., D.N.J. 13-02456, Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Lauderdale Lodge 31, Insurance Trust Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-02014). Electrical Workers 242 and 294 Health & Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-2862 and City of Providence v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd. Co., et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 13-307). In addition to the end-payor suits, two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of a class of direct payors (American Sales Company, LLC v. Warner Chilcott Public Ltd., Co. et al., D.R.I. Civ. No. 12-347 and Rochester Drug Co-Operative Inc., v. Warner Chilcott (US), LLC, et al., E.D.Pa. Civ. No. 13-133476). On June 18, 2013, defendants filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to consolidate these cases in one federal district court. The JPML issued an order on October 3, 2013 transferring all related Loestrin 24 cases to the federal court for the District of Rhode Island. A preliminary hearing was held on November 4, 2013. Following the preliminary hearing, on December 6, 2013, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. Defendants motions to dismiss the complaint must be filed by February 7, 2014. The consolidated case is still in its early stages and discovery has not yet begun on either the class allegations or merits. The Company anticipates additional claims or lawsuits based on the same or similar allegations.
The Company intends to defend against these actions vigorously. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. These actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
LO LOESTRIN FE
In July 2011 and April 2012, the Company received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Lupin and Actavis indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of the Companys oral contraceptive, LO LOESTRIN FE. The notice letters contend that the 394 Patent and the Companys U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984 (the 984 Patent), which cover LO LOESTRIN FE and expire in 2014 and 2029, respectively, are invalid and/or not infringed. The Company filed a lawsuit against Lupin in September 2011 and against Actavis in May 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey charging each with infringement of the 394 Patent and the 984 Patent. The Company granted Lupin and Actavis covenants not to sue on the 394 Patent with regard to their ANDAs seeking approval for a generic version of LO LOESTRIN FE, and the court dismissed all claims concerning the 394 Patent in the Lupin and the Actavis litigations in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. The lawsuits result in a stay of FDA approval of each defendants ANDA for 30 months from the date of the Companys receipt of such defendants
F-311
notice letter, subject to the prior resolution of the matter before the court. On October 2, 2013, Actavis divested its ANDA to Amneal Pharmaceuticals. On October 4, 2013, Amneal Pharmaceuticals was substituted for Actavis as a defendant. A joint trial began on October 7, 2013 and concluded on October 17, 2013. The Court has not issued its decision.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend the 984 Patent and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of LO LOESTRIN FE will not be approved and enter the market prior to the expiration of the 984 Patent in 2029.
Dermatology Patent and Other Litigation Matters
DORYX Patent Litigation
In March 2009, the Company and Mayne Pharma International Pty. Ltd. (Mayne) received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Impax and Mylan indicating that each had submitted to the FDA an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of DORYX 150. The notice letters contended that Maynes 161 Patent expiring in 2022 was not infringed. In March and May 2009, the Company and Mayne, which licenses the 161 Patent to the Company, filed lawsuits against Impax and Mylan, respectively, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, charging each with infringement of the 161 Patent. The resulting 30-month stay of FDA approval of each of Mylans and Impaxs ANDAs with respect to DORYX 150 expired in September 2011. In advance of that stays expiration, the Company and Mayne filed a motion in the District Court for a preliminary injunction (PI) to prevent an at-risk launch by Mylan of its generic version of DORYX 150. On September 22, 2011, the District Court entered a PI against Mylan and, in connection therewith, required the Company and Mayne to post a bond in the amount of $36 million (the Bond) in respect of damages, if any, that might result to Mylan should the PI later be determined to have been improvidently granted. The Company and Mayne posted the Bond and Mylan appealed the District Courts grant of the PI to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit vacated the PI on December 12, 2011 due to the District Courts failure to hold an evidentiary hearing, and suggested that the District Court consolidate such an evidentiary hearing with the trial and consider entry of a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting Mylan from launching a generic version of DORYX 150 until the District Court rendered its decision on the merits.
In September 2011, the Company received FDA approval for a dual-scored DORYX 150 product, which today accounts for all but a de minimis amount of the Companys DORYX net sales, and filed a citizen petition requesting that the FDA refrain from granting final approval to any DORYX 150 ANDA unless the ANDA filers product also adopts a dual-scored configuration and has the same labeling as the Companys dual-scored DORYX 150 product. On February 8, 2012, the FDA denied the Companys citizen petition and granted final approval to Mylan for its generic version of DORYX 150. As of July 15, 2013, Impax has not yet received final approval of its ANDA from the FDA with respect to DORYX 150 and has forfeited its first filer status.
The actions against Mylan and Impax were consolidated and a trial was held in early February 2012, during which Mylan agreed to the entry of the TRO. In entering the TRO, the District Court denied Mylans request that the Company post another bond or the Bond amount be increased from $36 million. On April 30, 2012, the District Court issued its opinion upholding the validity of the 161 Patent, but determining that neither Mylans nor Impaxs proposed generic version of DORYX 150 infringed the 161 Patent. The Company appealed the non-infringement determinations, and Impax and Mylan appealed the District Courts denial of their attorneys fees. On September 7, 2012, the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Courts decision. The Company determined not to petition the panel for a rehearing and the Federal Circuits judgment issued on October 15, 2012.
As a consequence of the District Courts April 30th ruling, Mylan entered the market with its FDA approved generic equivalent of DORYX 150 in early May 2012. Under settlement agreements previously entered into with
F-312
Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Heritage) and Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) in connection with their respective ANDA challenges, each of Heritage and Sandoz can market and sell a generic equivalent of DORYX 150 upon receipt of final FDA approval for its generic product.
The loss of exclusivity for DORYX 150 resulted in a significant decline in the Companys DORYX 150 revenues in the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $101 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 related to its DORYX intangible asset. On November 9, 2012, Mylan made an application to the District Court seeking to recover damages under the Bond, alleging it was damaged from the District Courts entry of injunctions prior to the District Courts decision on the merits. The Company recorded a charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies in the amount of $6 million in connection with the Federal Circuits judgment and Mylans application for damages. In September 2013, the Company and Mayne entered into a settlement and release agreement with Mylan to resolve Mylans damages claim under the Bond. Pursuant to the agreement, among other things, (i) the Company agreed to pay $12 million to Mylan in full satisfaction of Mylans damages claim under the Bond and (ii) Mylans damages claim was dismissed and the Bond was released. On September 11, 2013, the District Court entered an order releasing the Bond and dismissing Mylans damages claim. In connection with the Companys entry into the agreement, the Company recorded an incremental charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 in the amount of $6 million in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies, in addition to the $6 million charge that the Company previously recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. These charges represent the amount paid by the Company in connection with the settlement and release agreement.
Other DORYX Litigation
In July 2012, Mylan filed a complaint against the Company and Mayne in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging that the Company and Mayne prevented or delayed Mylans generic competition to the Companys DORYX products in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and tortiously interfered with Mylans prospective economic relationships under Pennsylvania state law. In the complaint, Mylan seeks unspecified treble and punitive damages and attorneys fees.
Following the filing of Mylans complaint, three putative class actions were filed against the Company and Mayne by purported direct purchasers, and one putative class action was filed against the Company and Mayne by purported indirect purchasers, each in the same court. In each case the plaintiffs allege that they paid higher prices for the Companys DORYX products as a result of the Companys and Maynes alleged actions preventing or delaying generic competition in violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws and/or state laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified injunctive relief, treble damages and/or attorneys fees. The court consolidated the purported class actions and the action filed by Mylan and ordered that all the pending cases proceed on the same schedule.
On February 5, 2013, four retailers including HEB Grocery, Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and Walgreen Co., filed in the same court a civil antitrust complaint in their individual capacities against the Company and Mayne regarding DORYX. (Walgreen Co., Safeway, Inc., Supervalu, Inc. and HEB Grocery Co, LP. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-00658). On March 28, 2013, another retailer, Rite Aid, filed a similar complaint in the same court. (Rite Aid Corp. v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Co., et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-01644). Both retailer complaints recite similar facts and assert similar legal claims for relief to those asserted in the related cases described above. Both retailer complaints have been consolidated with the cases described above. On December 5, 2013, the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund, from Huntington West Virginia, filed a complaint on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers in the same district court. (International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund v. Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company, et al., E.D.Pa. No. 13-cv-07096). This complaint contains similar allegations and legal claims as the other Doryx antitrust suits and includes claims under West Virgina state law. The plaintiffs have moved the court to consolidated this case with the others described above.
F-313
The Company and Mayne moved to dismiss the claims of Mylan, the direct purchasers, the indirect purchasers and the retailers. On November 21, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission filed with the court an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiffs theory of relief. On June 12, 2013, the court entered a denial, without prejudice, of the Company and Maynes motions to dismiss. Discovery is ongoing in the consolidated cases. The direct purchaser plaintiffs and indirect purchaser plaintiffs have filed motions for class certification in the case. On November 7, 2013, the Company, the direct purchaser plaintiffs, and the opt-out direct purchaser plaintiffs participated in a mediation. The mediation resulted in a November 13, 2013 agreement in principle to settle the claims asserted by the direct purchaser plaintiffs for a one-time payment of $15 million. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the remaining claims and intends to continue to vigorously defend its rights in the litigation. However, based on the terms of settlement negotiated in principle with the direct purchaser plaintiffs, the Company currently intends to engage in settlement discussions with the remaining plaintiffs in order to resolve the litigation in its entirety and has a reasonable expectation that it can negotiate settlements on similar terms. On November 20, 2013, the court denied without prejudice the indirect purchaser plaintiffs motion for class certification, and granted leave to file an amended motion for class certification by December 31, 2013. The indirect purchaser plaintiffs thereafter requested an extension of time to file their renewed motion for class certification until January 7, 2014. The direct purchaser plaintiffs motion for class certification remains pending before the court, with no class having yet been certified.
The Company intends to seek settlements with the plaintiffs to resolve the remaining claims. If the Company is unable to settle the pending claims on reasonable terms, it intends to vigorously defend its rights in the litigations. It is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation and, if the matters are not resolved through settlement, the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. The plaintiffs collectively seek approximately $1.2 billion in compensatory damages. The Company believes these amounts are unfounded and without merit. However, any award of compensatory damages could be subject to trebling. If these claims are successful such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Bayer Patent Litigation
In August 2012, Bayer Pharma AG (together with its affiliates, Bayer) filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Companys manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of its LO LOESTRIN FE oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. 5,980,940. In the complaint, Bayer seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. In December 2012, Bayer amended the complaint to add a patent interference claim seeking to invalidate the Companys 984 Patent, which covers the LO LOESTRIN FE product. A jury trial has been set for July 13, 2015. On February 19, 2013, Bayer filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada alleging that the Companys LOESTRIN 24 FE oral contraceptive product infringes Bayers U.S. Patent No. RE43,916. Bayer voluntarily dismissed that complaint on October 17, 2013 and that litigation is therefore no longer pending.
Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, the Company believes that it has a number of strong defenses to the allegations in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. This case is in the early stages of litigation, and an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to this proceeding is not possible at this time.
Medicaid Drug Reimbursement Litigation
Numerous pharmaceutical companies, including the Company, have been named as defendants in a qui tam action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (United States of America ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc. et. al., USDC Case No. 02- CV-11738-NG). The seventh amended complaint alleges that the defendants falsely reported to the United States that certain pharmaceutical
F-314
products were eligible for Medicaid reimbursement and thereby allegedly caused false claims for payment to be made through the Medicaid program. In July 2011, the plaintiff served a tenth amended complaint that unseals the action in its entirety and continues to allege the previously asserted claims. All named defendants filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss the Tenth Amended Complaint on December 9, 2011. On February 25, 2013, the court granted the motion to dismiss as to all defendants. The plaintiff may appeal. On September 11, 2013, a new action was filed against the Company and numerous other pharmaceutical company defendants by the State of Louisiana based on the same core set of allegations as asserted in the Conrad qui tam action. Additional actions alleging similar claims could be asserted. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend itself against such allegations. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. These actions or similar actions, if successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Governmental Investigation and False Claims Act Litigation
Beginning in February 2012, the Company, along with several current and former non-executive employees in its sales organization and certain third parties, received subpoenas from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena received by the Company seeks information and documentation relating to a wide range of matters, including sales and marketing activities, payments to people who are in a position to recommend drugs, medical education, consultancies, prior authorization processes, clinical trials, off-label use and employee training (including with respect to laws and regulations concerning off-label information and physician remuneration), in each case relating to all of the Companys current key products. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena but cannot predict or determine the impact of this inquiry on its future financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is aware of two qui tam complaints filed by former Company sales representatives and unsealed in February and March 2013. The unsealed qui tam complaints allege that the Company violated Federal and state false claims acts and other state laws through the promotion of all of the Companys current key products by, among other things, making improper claims concerning the products, providing kickbacks to physicians and engaging in improper conduct concerning prior authorizations. The complaints seek, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties of up to eleven thousand dollars for each alleged false claim and attorneys fees and costs. Other similar complaints may exist under seal. The United States of America has elected not to intervene at this time in each of the unsealed qui tam actions, stating at the times of the relevant seal expirations that its investigation of the allegations raised in the relevant complaint was continuing and, as such, it was not able to decide at such time whether to intervene in the action. The United States of America may later seek to intervene, and its election does not prevent the plaintiffs/relators from litigating the actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigations. However, these cases are in the early stages of litigation, it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation, and the Company can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the Company will be successful in its defense and whether any additional similar suits will be filed. If these claims are successful, such claims could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
16. Income Taxes
The Company operates in many tax jurisdictions including: Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and other Western European countries. The Companys effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 19% and 19%, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 14% and 25%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for interim reporting periods reflects the changes in income mix among the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the impact of discrete items, as well as the overall level of
F-315
consolidated income before income taxes. The Companys effective tax rate is impacted by a significant portion of the Companys pretax income being generated in Puerto Rico, which is taxed at 2%. As a result, the estimated annual effective tax rates applied to income before discrete items for the periods are significantly below 35%. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 the effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a foreign tax credit relating to the Puerto Rican excise tax. No other discrete items had a significant impact on the effective tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the discrete items, all of which negatively impacted the Companys effective tax rate, included reserves related to the restructuring of certain of the Companys Western European operations as well as the impairment charge relating to the DORYX intangible asset. The Companys estimated annual effective tax rate for all periods includes the impact of changes in income tax liabilities related to reserves recorded under ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes.
17. Segment Information
Effective October 1, 2012, the Company considers its business to be a single segment entity constituting the development, manufacture and sale on a global basis of pharmaceutical products. The Companys chief operating decision maker (the CEO) evaluates the various global products on a net sales basis. Executives reporting to the CEO include those responsible for operations and supply chain management, R&D, sales and certain corporate functions. The CEO evaluates profitability, investment and cash flow metrics on a consolidated worldwide basis due to shared infrastructure and resources. In addition, the CEO reviews U.S. revenue specifically as it constitutes the substantial majority of the Companys overall revenue. Prior to October 1, 2012, the Companys business was organized as two segments: North America and the Rest of World, consistent with how the Companys business was run at that time.

18. Reliance on Significant Suppliers
In the event that a significant supplier (including a third-party manufacturer, packager or supplier of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API) suffers an event that causes it to be unable to manufacture or package the Companys product or meet the Companys API requirements for a sustained period and the Company is unable to obtain the product or API from an alternative supplier, the resulting shortages of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business. The following table presents, by category of supplier, the percentage of the Companys total revenues generated from products provided by each individual third-party supplier accounting for 10% or more of the Companys total revenues.

FOREST LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
Basis of presentation: The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and include the accounts of Forest Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Forest, we, us, or the Company) all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Estimates and assumptions: GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the end of each period and of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Situations where estimates are required to be made include, but are not limited to, accounting for business combinations, sales allowances, returns, rebates and other pricing adjustments, depreciation, amortization, tax assets and liabilities, restructuring reserves, and certain contingencies. Actual results may vary from estimates. The Company reviews all significant estimates affecting the financial statements on a recurring basis and records the effect of any adjustments when necessary.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company modified the presentation of its Consolidated Statements of Operations effective for all periods presented, whereby Interest income, interest expense and other miscellaneous income/expense is presented in the Interest and other income (expense) caption below Operating income (loss). The modified presentation is consistent with industry practice and conforms with the requirements of Regulation S-X 5.03. There were no changes in the Companys accounting policies, methodology for estimates or the activity included in the respective captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign currency translation: The statements of operations of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the applicable period. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations. The assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the end of the applicable period. The resulting translation adjustments arising from changes in the exchange rates are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI).
Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with maturities within three months of the purchase date which are readily convertible into cash.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Pre-launch inventories: The Company may accumulate commercial quantities of certain of its product candidates prior to the date it anticipates that such products will receive final U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. The accumulation of such pre-launch inventories involves the risk that such products may not be approved for marketing by the FDA on a timely basis, or ever. This risk notwithstanding, the Company may accumulate pre-launch inventories of certain products when such action is appropriate in relation to the commercial value of the product launch opportunity. In accordance with Company policy, this pre-launch inventory is expensed. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no pre-launch inventories.
Marketable securities: Marketable securities, which are all classified as available-for-sale, are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities, and consist of high quality investments.
F-325
Accounts receivable and credit policies: The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced to fair value by recording a valuation allowance that reflects managements best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, management considers many factors in estimating its general allowance, including historical data, experience, customer types, creditworthiness and economic trends. From time to time, management may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of those or other factors expected to affect collectability.
Long-term receivables: Long-term receivables consist of balances that are due to the Company in a period greater than one year from the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2014, Long-term receivables include note receivables of $101.9 million associated with the moksha8 agreement. Refer to Note 16 License and collaboration agreements for additional information.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (estimated useful lives are stated in years): Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life for each asset. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Companys PP&E balance and useful lives by category was as follows:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or the lease term. Included in property, plant and equipment at March 31, 2014 and 2013 is construction in progress of $62.4 million and $39.2 million, respectively, for facility expansion at one specific location necessary to support the Companys current and future operations as well as upgrades to our data processing equipment. Projects currently in-process or under evaluation are estimated to cost approximately $67.7 million to complete. For construction in progress, depreciation commences once the asset is placed into service.
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred for an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The Company operates in only one segment. The Company completed its annual impairment assessments for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.
Revenue recognition: Revenues are recorded in the period the merchandise is shipped. As is typical in the pharmaceutical industry, gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions, primarily representing rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers and managed care organizations. These deductions represent estimates of the related liabilities as judgment is required when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, our adjustments for actual settlements have not been material. If estimates are not representative of actual future settlement, results could be materially affected.
Provisions for estimated sales allowances, returns, rebates and other pricing adjustments are accrued at the time revenues are recognized as a direct reduction of such revenue. The accruals are estimated based on available information, including third party data regarding the portion of sales on which rebates and discounts can be earned, adjusted as appropriate for specific known events and the prevailing contractual discount rate. Provisions
F-326
are reflected either as a direct reduction to accounts receivable or, to the extent that they are due to entities other than customers, as accrued expenses. Adjustments to estimates are recorded when Management becomes aware of a change of circumstances or when customer credits are issued or payments are made to third parties. There were no material adjustments to these estimates in the periods presented.
Deductions for chargebacks (primarily discounts to group purchasing organizations and federal government agencies) closely approximate actual deductions as these deductions are settled generally within 2-3 weeks of incurring the liability.
The sensitivity of estimates can vary by program and type of customer. However, estimates associated with Medicaid and contract rebates are most at risk for adjustment because of the extensive time delay between the recording of the accrual and its ultimate settlement, generally an interval that can range up to one year. Because of this time lag, in any given quarter, adjustments to actuals may incorporate revisions of prior quarters.
Sales incentives are generally given in connection with new product launches. These sales incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenues and are based on terms fixed at the time goods are shipped. New product launches may result in expected temporary increases in wholesaler inventories, which are closely monitored and historically have not resulted in increased product returns.
Shipping and handling costs: Presently, the Company does not charge its customers for any freight costs for domestic shipments in the ordinary course of business. The amounts of such costs are included in Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense and are not material.
Research and development: Expenditures for Research and development (R&D), including upfront licensing fees and milestone payments (license payments) associated with developmental products that have not yet been approved by the FDA, are charged to R&D expense as incurred. License payments due to third parties upon, or subsequent to, FDA approval are recorded as intangible assets and classified as License agreements, product rights and other intangibles, net.
Savings and profit sharing plans: Substantially all non-bargaining unit employees of the Companys domestic subsidiaries may participate in the savings and profit sharing plans after becoming eligible for the respective plan (as defined in each of the plans). In the Savings Plan, participants contribute a portion of their qualifying compensation each pay period, up to the allowable limit, and the Company provides a matching contribution as defined by the plan. For the Profit Sharing Plan, the Company makes contributions on an annual basis, which are allocated to participants as defined by the plan. All contributions made to the Profit Sharing Plan are at the discretion of the Company. Savings and profit sharing contributions amounted to approximately $43.5 million, $45.9 million and $43.4 million for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding is reduced by the treasury stock method which, in accordance with ASC 718 CompensationStock Compensation, takes into consideration the compensation cost attributable to future services not yet recognized.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss): Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses which are excluded from net income under GAAP. These amounts are recorded as an adjustment to AOCI, which is reflected as a separate component of equity. AOCI comprises the cumulative effects, net of taxes, of foreign currency translation, pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on securities, and amounted to approximately $12.4 million, $(2.1) million and $1.8 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and $1.4 million, $(8.8) million and $17.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2013.
F-327
Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are provided on the differences in bases of assets and liabilities between financial reporting and tax returns using enacted tax rates.
Uncertain tax positions: The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill: Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment periodically or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, a charge is recorded in the Statement of Operations in that period, to adjust the carrying value of the related asset. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no such impairment charges recorded.
Stock-based compensation: The Companys Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors awards stock options, restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) to employees and non-employee directors. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, restricted stock is accounted for at fair value based upon the stock price on the date of grant and PSUs, which contain market conditions, are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These compensation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis (net of forfeitures) over the requisite service period.
Compensation expense of $69.1 million ($46.1 million net of tax), $64.7 million ($45.7 million net of tax), and $59.3 million ($44.3 million net of tax) was recorded for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This expense was charged to cost of sales, SG&A expense and R&D expense, as appropriate. Total compensation cost related to non-vested stock based awards not yet recognized as of March 31, 2014 was $125.0 million pre-tax and the weighted average period over which the cost is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.3 years.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in determining the fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model:
Year ended March 31, |
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Expected dividend yield |
0 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||||
Expected stock price volatility |
23.26 | % | 25.10 | % | 27.49 | % | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.5 | % | 1.2 | % | 1.4 | % | ||||||
Expected life of options (years) |
7 | 7 | 7 |
The Company has never declared a cash dividend. The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Companys stock as well as historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant in conjunction with the expected life of options. The expected life is based upon historical data and represents the period of time that granted options are expected to be outstanding.
Collaboration arrangements: The Company accounts for collaboration arrangements in accordance with ASC 808Collaborative Agreements pursuant to which payments to and receipts from our collaboration partners are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable guidance.
F-328
Business combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. The determination of estimated fair value may require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The purchase price is the fair value of the total consideration conveyed to the seller and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where applicable, is recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of an acquired business are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Costs associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed in the period incurred.
Debt: The Companys carrying value of debt is principal, net of unamortized discount. Any costs associated with the issuance of debt is capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt.
Recent accounting standards: In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update will change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity, a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component or a group of components is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. This standard would become effective for the Company on April 1, 2015 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
2. Net income (loss) per share:

Options to purchase approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $42.61 to $96.42 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for the year ended March 31, 2014 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. These options expire through 2024. Options to purchase approximately 15.6 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $20.55 to $59.05 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for the year ended March 31, 2013 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Options to purchase approximately 14.4 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $26.18 to $59.05 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for the year ended 2012 because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
On November 26, 2013, the Board terminated the previously outstanding 50 million share repurchase authorization and authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of shares of common stock based on prevailing prices from time to time. The new authorization became effective immediately and has no set expiration date.
3. Business operations:
The Company and its principal operating subsidiaries, which are located primarily in the U.S. and Europe, manufacture and market ethical pharmaceutical products and other healthcare products. The Company operates

6. Fair value measurements:
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The standard also requires the use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to fair value measurement techniques into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
The Companys financial assets are measured at fair value and include its commercial paper investments, money market accounts, municipal bonds and notes, government agency bonds, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, variable rate demand notes, floating rate notes and auction rate securities (ARS). These assets are subject to the measurement and disclosure requirements of ASC 820.

The following table presents the level within the fair value hierarchy at which the Companys financial assets are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis:

There were no purchases or realized gains or losses within the Level 3 ARS during the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company recorded sales of $0.1 million of its Level 3 ARS for the period ended March 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, the Company held investments in ARS amounting to $3.1 million (with underlying maturities of 20 years) of which the entire balance is collateralized by student loans. Substantially all such collateral in the aggregate is guaranteed by the U.S. government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program.
F-332
All money market accounts are classified as Level 1 assets. Certain commercial paper investments and certificates of deposit are also classified as Level 1 assets because they consist of publicly traded securities which are priced and actively traded on a daily basis.
Certain of the Companys commercial paper and certificates of deposit and all of the Companys variable rate demand notes, municipal bonds and notes, corporate bonds and government agency bonds are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.
In addition to the above, the Company also has Level 3 fair value measurements related to the Aptalis and Clinical Data, Inc. (Clinical Data) acquisitions; see Note 17 for further information.
The Company issued long-term debt with a carrying value of $3.0 billion during fiscal 2014; see Note 10 for further information.
The majority of the Companys non-financial assets and liabilities are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, the Company is required on a non-recurring basis to use fair value measurements when analyzing asset impairment as it relates to goodwill, license agreements, product rights, IPR&D, and other intangible assets and long-lived assets. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable and accounts payable and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale debt securities were $1.9 billion and $3.0 billion during fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross realized gains on those sales during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 were $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In order to determine gross realized gains and losses, the Company uses average cost. The Company records holding gains and losses on available for sale securities in the Accumulated other comprehensive income caption in the consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company had a net unrealized gain of $0.9 million and $4.2 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The preceding does not include the Companys equity securities for Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ironwood) and Trevena, Inc. (Trevena). The carrying value of the Companys equity securities in Ironwood, which were measured at fair market value based on quoted market prices for the related security, was $25.7 million and $38.1 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company purchased $30 million of Trevena preferred stock in a round of private placement financing during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. This investment was accounted for using the cost method. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Trevena filed an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and as a result, the Companys preferred stock converted to common shares. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company purchased an additional $3.0 million of common stock. The fair value of Trevena common stock held at March 31, 2014 was $26.7 million.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call penalties.
The Company invests funds in variable rate demand notes that have major bank liquidity agreements, municipal bonds and notes, government agency bonds, commercial paper, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, and auction rate securities. Certain securities are subject to a hard-put option(s) where the principal amount is contractually assured by the issuer and any resistance to the exercise of these options would be deemed as a default by the issuer. Such a potential default would be reflected in the issuers respective credit rating, for which the Company maintains investment grade requirements pursuant to its corporate investment guidelines. While the Company believes its investments that have net unrealized losses are temporary, declines in the value of these investments may be deemed other-than-temporary if the credit and capital markets were to deteriorate in future periods. The Company has the ability and intends to hold its investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired and will continue to monitor global market conditions to minimize the risk of impairments in future periods.

The Company settles employee stock option exercises and restricted stock releases with newly issued common shares.
13. Contingencies:
The Company is subject to the various legal proceedings and claims discussed below as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although we believe that the proceedings brought against us are without merit and in certain instances we have insurance, litigation is subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that we will not incur material costs in the resolution of these matters.
Average Wholesale Price Litigation
We are defendants in four state court actions that allege that the plaintiffs (all governmental entities) were overcharged for their share of Medicaid drug reimbursement costs as a result of reporting by manufacturers of average wholesale prices (AWP) that did not correspond to actual provider costs of prescription drugs. These actions are pending in Illinois (commenced February 7, 2005), Mississippi (commenced October 20, 2005), Utah (commenced May 2008), and Wisconsin (a qui tam AWP action commenced by the former Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin on February 20, 2012 that the State declined to join). Discovery is ongoing in these actions. On November 15, 2013, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action moved for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. On March 26, 2014, the Mississippi state court granted plaintiffs motion in part, but denied plaintiffs request to add generic drug products to its claims. Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of the
F-339
claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint. A trial in the Mississippi action is scheduled in October 2014. A motion to dismiss the Utah action was granted, but the Utah Supreme Court, while upholding the lower courts ruling regarding a statute of limitations issue, reversed that ruling and allowed the plaintiff to replead. The plaintiff filed another Amended Complaint, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This motion to dismiss was denied in part. On February 17, 2014, the Wisconsin state court granted defendants motion to dismiss plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. On April 14, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint, and on May 16, 2014, plaintiff filed an appeal of the courts February 17, 2014 ruling. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Celexa/Lexapro Class Actions
We are defendants in three federal court actions filed on behalf of individuals who purchased Celexa and/or Lexapro for pediatric use, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the caption In re Celexa and Lexapro Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation. These actions, two of which were originally filed as putative nationwide class actions, and one of which is a putative California-wide class action, allege that Forest marketed Celexa and/or Lexapro for off-label pediatric use and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. The complaints assert various similar claims, including claims under the Missouri and California consumer protection statutes, respectively, and state common laws. On February 5, 2013, the district judge overseeing the MDL denied all plaintiffs motions for class certification. On February 18, 2013, the plaintiff in the California action filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On April 16, 2013, the First Circuit denied the petition. On April 30, 2013, plaintiffs in the other two actions filed an Amended Complaint seeking to certify state-wide class actions in Illinois, Missouri, and New York under those states consumer protection statutes. On January 13, 2014, the district judge denied plaintiffs motion with respect to the proposed Illinois and New York classes and allowed it with respect to the proposed Missouri class. We filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on January 27, 2014. On March 12, 2014, we reached agreement with the MDL plaintiffs to settle the Missouri class claims, including claim by both individuals and third party payors that purchased Celexa or Lexapro for use by a minor from 1998 to December 31, 2013. In exchange for a release from class members, we will pay $7.65 million into a fund that will cover (1) the settlement benefits paid to class members, (2) administration costs, (3) incentive awards to be paid to the representative plaintiffs, and (4) attorneys fees and costs. If valid claims are greater than $4.215 million, we will pay up to $2.7 million more to pay for the additional valid claims (our total settlement payment shall not exceed $10.35 million). The district court judge preliminarily approved the settlement on March 14, 2014 and issued an order enjoining all class members and other persons from litigating claims relating to those covered by the settlement. A hearing on whether the court should grant final approval of the settlement is scheduled for July 16, 2014.
On May 3, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of individuals who purchased Lexapro for adolescent use, seeking to certify a state-wide class action in California and alleging that our promotion of Lexapro for adolescent depression has been deceptive. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraph and, on July 29, 2013, we moved to dismiss the complaint. The district court judge granted our motion to dismiss on March 5, 2014. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on March 17, 2014.
On November 13, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to certify a nationwide class of third-party payor entities that purchased Celexa and Lexapro for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, and we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 15, 2014. On February 5, 2014, the
F-340
plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the complaint and filed a First Amended Complaint, which, among other things, added claims on behalf of a Minnesota class of entities and consumers under Minnesotas consumer protection statutes. We filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on April 9, 2014.
On March 13, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by two third-party payors seeking to certify a nationwide class of persons and entities that purchased Celexa and Lexapro for use by pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, state consumer protection statutes, and state common laws, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. This action was filed as a related action to the action described above in the preceding paragraph. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2014.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
We are also named as defendants in two actions filed on behalf of entities or individuals who purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa and Lexapro for pediatric use pending in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, and arising from similar allegations as those contained in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraphs. The first action, filed on November 6, 2009 under the caption St. Louis Labor Healthcare Network et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc., is brought by two entities that purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa and/or Lexapro. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. We have reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve this action for payments that are not material to our financial condition or results of operations. The second action, filed on July 22, 2009 under the caption Crawford v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now known as Luster v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a putative class action on behalf of a class of Missouri citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. In October 2010, the court certified a class of Missouri domiciliary citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use at any time prior to the date of the class certification order, but who do not have a claim for personal injury. On December 9, 2013, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which was argued on January 8, 2014. On February 21, 2014, we filed a motion to de-certify the class. Decisions on these motions are pending. On March 12, 2014, we informed the judge of the MDL Missouri class settlement described above, including that the federal class encompasses the members of the certified Missouri class in Luster. At a status conference on April 2, 2014 the parties agreed that the action is stayed in light of the injunction contained in the MDL Preliminary Approval Order, described above. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Employment Litigation
In July 2012, we were named as defendants in an action brought by Megan Barrett, Lindsey Houser, Jennifer Jones, and Jennifer Seard, former Company Sales Representatives, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Megan Barrett et al. v. Forest Laboratories Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In November 2012, Plaintiffs amended the complaint, adding six additional plaintiffs: Kimberly Clinton, Erin Eckenrode, Julie Smyth, Marie Avila, Andrea Harley, and Christy Lowder, all of whom alleged that they were current or former Company Sales Representatives or Specialty Sales Representatives. In March 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding one additional plaintiff: Tracy Le, a now-former Company Sales Representative. The action is a putative class and collective action, and the Second Amended Complaint alleges class claims under Title VII for gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions, as well as discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, and a collective action claim under the Equal
F-341
Pay Act. The proposed Title VII gender class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives (defined to include Territory Sales Representatives, Field Sales Representatives, Medical Sales Representatives, Professional Sales Representatives, Specialty Sales Representatives, Field Sales Trainers, and Regional Sales Trainers) employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment, and the proposed Title VII pregnancy sub-class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives who have been, are, or will become pregnant while employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment. The proposed Equal Pay Act collective action class includes current, former, and future female Sales Representatives who were not compensated equally to similarly-situated male employees during the applicable liability period. The Second Amended Complaint also includes non-class claims on behalf of certain of the named Plaintiffs for sexual harassment and retaliation under Title VII, and for violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act. We filed a motion to dismiss certain claims on April 29, 2013, which was argued on January 16, 2014. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Government Investigations
We received a subpoena dated April 20, 2011 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena requests documents relating to Benicar, Benicar HCT, and Azor, prescription medications approved for the treatment of hypertension. We co-marketed Benicar and Benicar HCT from 2002 to 2008, and Azor from 2007 to 2008, together with the drugs originator Sankyo under co-promotion agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
We received a subpoena dated May 6, 2013 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Tudorza Pressair, including with respect to speaker programs for this product. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
We received a subpoena dated August 5, 2013 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Bystolic, Savella, and Namenda, including with respect to speaker programs for these products. In February 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Kurt Kroening et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in April 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Bystolic and Savella and kickbacks provided to physicians to induce prescriptions of Bystolic, Savella, and Viibryd. In January 2014, the Eastern District of Wisconsin U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it had not completed its investigation and therefore would not intervene in the action at that time (while reserving the right to intervene at a later date). We are continuing to cooperate with this investigation and to discuss these issues with the government. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In April 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Timothy Leysock v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in July 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Namenda. An Amended Complaint was filed in October 2012 and a Second Amended Complaint was filed in April 2014. On April 16, 2014, the District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it was declining to intervene in the action. We intend to vigorously defend against the complaint. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
F-342
On February 20, 2014, we received a letter from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicating that the FTC is conducting a nonpublic investigation into our agreements with the ANDA filers for Bystolic. On May 2, 2014, we received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC requesting documents regarding such agreements. We are cooperating in responding to the investigation.
On February 28, 2014, May 7, 2014, and May 29, 2014, we received Investigatory Subpoenas from the New York Attorney Generals Office primarily requesting (1) information regarding plans to discontinue the sale of Namenda tablets and (2) the Companys agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic. We are cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
Product Liability Litigation
We are defendants in approximately 200 product liability actions. Thirteen actions involve allegations that Celexa or Lexapro caused or contributed to individuals committing or attempting suicide, or caused a violent event. The MDL that was established for the federal suicidality-related litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has concluded and the remaining cases have been remanded to the federal district courts in which they were filed originally. Eight trials have been scheduled in these actions in 2014 and 2015. In February 2014, a state court action in Montgomery, Alabama involving a young woman who allegedly attempted suicide was dismissed with prejudice.
Approximately one hundred and seventy-nine actions involve allegations that Celexa or Lexapro caused various birth defects. The majority of these actions have been consolidated in Cole County Circuit Court in Missouri. One action is set for trial in Cole County in September 2014. Approximately nineteen actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. One action is pending in Orange County, California and is set for trial in January 2015.
Approximately six actions involve allegations that Benicar, a treatment for hypertension that the Company co-promoted with Daiichi Sankyo between 2002 and 2008, caused certain gastrointestinal injuries. Under our Co-Promotion Agreement, Daiichi Sankyo is defending us in these lawsuits.
Each product liability action seeks compensatory and punitive damages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. For claims filed before April 1, 2014, we generally maintain $140 million of product liability coverage (annually, per occurrence on a claims-made basis, and in the aggregate). For these claims, the Companys self-insured retention is $10 million per claim and $50 million in the aggregate. Claims filed after April 1, 2014 will be reported to the policy for the previous year. However, for these claims our self-insured retention is $20 million per claim and $60 million in the aggregate. Moreover, the Company is self-insuring a layer of coverage $10 million in excess of $55 million.
Patent Litigation
In September, October, and November 2013, and February 2014, we and Royalty Pharma Collection Trust (Royalty), our licensor for Savella, brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,602,911 (the 911 patent), U.S. Patent No. 7,888,342 (the 342 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,994,220 (the 220 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Amneal, Apotex, First Time US Generics, Glenmark, Hetero, Lupin, Mylan, Par, Ranbaxy, Sandoz, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified us that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Savella before these patents expire. (The 342 patent expires in November 2021, the 911 patent expires in January 2023, and the 220 patent expires in September 2029.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs until July 14, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to us and Royalty Pharma sooner). On March 7, 2014, we and Royalty voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, all claims against Sandoz. On March 20, 2014, the district court consolidated all of the remaining pending actions for all purposes and issued a scheduling order setting a trial date in January 2016. On May 12, 2014, the Company and Royalty
F-343
entered into a settlement agreement with First Time US Generics. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to review of the settlement terms by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Forest will provide a license to First Time that will permit it to launch its generic version of SAVELLA as of the date that is the later of (a) six (6) calendar months prior to the expiration date of the last to expire of the 911 patent, the 342 patent, and the 220 patent, including any extensions and/or pediatric exclusivities; or (b) the date that First Time obtains final FDA approval of its ANDA, or earlier in certain circumstances.
In January, February, and April 2014, we and Merz Pharma and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, our licensors for Namenda XR, brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,168,209 (the 209 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,173,708 (the 708 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,283,379 (the 379 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,329,752 (the 752 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,362,085 (the 085 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,598,233 (the 233 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Wockhardt, Teva, Sun, Apotex, Anchen, Zydus, Watson, Par, Mylan, Amneal, Amerigen, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified us that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Namenda XR before these certain patents expire. (The 703 patent expires in April 2015, the 009 patent expires in March 2029, and the 209, 708, 379, 752, 085, and 233 patents expire in November 2025.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs that expires no earlier than June 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to us, Merz, and Adamas sooner).
In December 2013, we were named as a defendant in an action brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. The complaint alleges that we infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing Namenda XR. The relief requested includes preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and damages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In July 2013, our subsidiaries Aptalis Pharma US, Inc. and Aptalis Pharma Canada Inc. brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,217,083 (the 083 patent) and U.S. Patent No. 8,436,051 (the 051 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Mylan and Sandoz. These companies have notified Aptalis that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of CANASA before these patents expire. Amended complaints were filed against these companies in November 2013 adding claims for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,854,384 (the 384 patent). The 083, 051, and 384 patents expire in June 2028. No trial date has been set.
Stockholder Litigation
In February and March 2014, nine putative stockholder class actions were brought against us, our directors, Actavis plc, and certain of Actaviss affiliates. Four actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and have been consolidated under the caption In re Forest Laboratories, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (the Delaware Action). Five actions were filed in New York State Supreme Court and have been consolidated under the caption Turberg v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. et al. (the New York Action). On April 4 and May 5, 2014, respectively, the Delaware and New York plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints in their respective jurisdictions. The amended complaints seek, among other remedies, to enjoin Actaviss proposed acquisition of Forest or damages in the event the transaction closes. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Forest Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Forest for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process, and that the disclosure document fails to disclose allegedly material information about the transaction. The complaints also allege that Actavis, and certain of its affiliates, aided and abetted these alleged breaches. On May 28, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and the New York Action regarding a settlement of both
F-344
Actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Forest agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with Actavis, which are contained in a Form 8-K filed May 28, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the Delaware Court of Chancery will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction, the merger agreement, and any disclosure made in connection therewith, including in the Definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the Actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Delaware Court of Chancery will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In May 2014, three putative stockholder class actions were brought against us, Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex), and Furiexs board of directors. Two actions were brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the captions Steven Kollman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Donald Powell v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. One action was brought in North Carolina state court under the caption Walter Nakatsukasa v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. These actions seek to enjoin our proposed acquisition of Furiex and allege, among other things, that the members of the Furiex Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Furiex for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process. These actions also allege that Forest aided and abetted these alleged breaches. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation
In October 2012, we were named as a defendant, along with The Peer Group, Inc. (TPG), in a putative class action brought by the St. Louis Heart Center (SLHC) under the caption St. Louis Heart Center, Inc. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and The Peer Group, Inc. The action is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On May 17, 2013, SLHC filed a Fourth Amended Complaint, alleging that Forest and TPG violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA), on behalf of a proposed class that includes all persons who, from four years prior to the filing of the action, were sent telephone facsimile messages of material advertising the commercial availability of any property, goods, or services by or on behalf of defendants, which did not display an opt-out notice compliant with a certain regulation promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Fourth Amended Complaint seeks $500 for each alleged violation of the TCPA, treble damages if the Court finds the violations to be willful, knowing or intentional, interest, and injunctive and other relief. On May 21, 2013, in Nack v. Walburg, a separate case in which we are not a party, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the district court in that case lacked jurisdiction to determine the validity of this FCC regulation and that the defendant in that case could only challenge the validity of this regulation through an administrative petition submitted directly to the FCC, a decision that would then be appealable to the appropriate court of appeals. On June 27, 2013, we filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC requesting that the FCC find that (1) the faxes at issue in the action complied, or substantially complied with the FCC regulation, and thus did not violate it, or (2) the FCC regulation was not properly promulgated under the TCPA. On July 17, 2013, the district court granted our motion to stay the action pending the administrative proceeding initiated by our FCC Petition, including any appeal therefrom. On January 31, 2014, the FCC released a Public Notice in response to
F-345
several related petitions, including ours. The comment and reply period for this Public Notice closed on February 14 and February 21, 2014, respectively. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.

The Companys effective tax rate for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 is lower than the federal statutory rate principally as a result of the proportion of earnings generated in lower-taxed foreign jurisdictions as compared with the U.S. and the impact of Project Rejuvenate in the U.S. in 2014.

The Company has federal, state and local, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards as well as excess charitable contribution carryovers, foreign tax credit carryovers and orphan drug credit carryovers which are available to reduce future U.S. federal and state taxable income, expiring at various times between 2014 and 2034. Valuation allowances have been established for a portion of deferred tax assets acquired as part of the Cerexa purchase and the Aptalis purchase as the Company determined that it was more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.
At March 31, 2014, U.S. taxes and foreign withholding have not been provided on approximately $7.8 billion of temporary differences primarily attributable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested offshore. If, in the future, these earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if such earnings are expected to be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions would be required. Due to complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income taxes that would have to be provided.
The Company accrues liabilities for identified tax contingencies that result from positions that are being challenged or could be challenged by tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open years, based on Managements assessment of many factors, including its interpretations of the tax law and judgments about potential actions by tax authorities. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any tax audit may be materially greater or lower than the amount accrued.
The Companys income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 2007 in most jurisdictions and prior to 2008 in Ireland are no longer subject to review as such fiscal years are generally closed. Tax authorities in various jurisdictions are in the process of reviewing the Companys income tax returns for various post-2006 fiscal years, including the Internal Revenue Service, which is currently reviewing fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009. It is unlikely that the outcome will be determined within the next twelve months.
The Company has agreed with assessments from the New York State Department of Taxation for fiscal years 2003-2007 related to issues surrounding how the Company accounted for New York State corporation taxes on a consolidated basis. Such assessment resulted in additional New York State corporation tax within previously established tax reserves and did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations.

As of March 31, 2014 the Companys consolidated Balance Sheet reflects unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) of $437.0 million of which $406.4 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of UTBs is as follows:

The Company recorded interest related to UTBs in income tax expense and related liability accounts on the balance sheet. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $16.5 million and $14.8 million of interest and penalties, respectively. Accrued interest related to UTBs totaled $51.7 million and $75.2 million as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
It is anticipated that the amount of UTBs will not change significantly within the next 12 months.

16. License and collaboration agreements:
Saphris license
On November 29, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with Merck to purchase exclusive rights in the U.S. for Saphris sublingual tablets, a treatment for adult patients with schizophrenia and, as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy, of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Pursuant to the APA, the Company paid Merck $155 million on January 10, 2014 upon close of the transaction and an additional $76 million in March 2014 for costs and expenses incurred in connection with post-marketing clinical trials conducted for Saphris during calendar 2013. The Company recorded an intangible asset of $231 million which will be amortized over the useful life of the product. The agreement also includes certain sales milestone payments to Merck upon the achievement of certain net sales thresholds.
F-348
In addition, the Company entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Forest will purchase its commercial supply of the product from Merck at an agreed purchase price.
Fetzima approval
In July 2013, the Company received FDA approval for FetzimaTM (levomilnacipran extended-release capsules), a once-daily serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adults. The product was launched in December 2013 and recorded sales of $11.7 million in fiscal 2014. The Company licensed the rights to levomilnacipran in the U.S. and Canada from Pierre Fabre Laboratories, and was obligated to pay a milestone payment of $30 million upon FDA approval. Such milestone payment was capitalized as an intangible asset and is currently being amortized over the life of the patent for Fetzima.
Trevena
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into a collaborative licensing option agreement with Trevena for the development of TRV027, a novel beta-arrestin biased ligand of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased $30 million of Trevena preferred stock in a round of private placement financing which is recorded in the non-current Marketable securities and investments caption in the consolidated Balance Sheet. This investment was initially accounted for using the cost method. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Trevena filed an IPO, at which time the Companys preferred stock was converted to common stock traded on the NASDAQ stock market. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company purchased an additional $3.0 million of common stock of Trevena. The investment was subsequently accounted for using the fair value method of accounting. At March 31, 2014, the fair value of the Trevena common stock held by the Company was $26.7 million.
Ironwood collaboration agreement
In September 2007, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Ironwood to jointly develop and commercialize Linzess® (linaclotide) for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shares equally with Ironwood all profits and losses from the development and commercialization of Linzess in the U.S. In addition, Forest obtained exclusive rights to the linaclotide license in Canada and Mexico, for which the Company will pay royalties to Ironwood based on net sales in those territories, subject to receiving regulatory approval.
The agreement included contingent milestone payments as well as a contingent equity investment based on the achievement of specific clinical and commercial milestones. As of March 31, 2014, payments totaling $230 million, relating to development and approval milestones, have been made. The Company may be obligated to pay up to an additional $100 million if certain sales milestones are achieved.
Linzess received FDA approval as a once-daily treatment for adult men and women suffering from IBS-C and CIC in August 2012. For the year ended March 31, 2014, Linzess sales in the U.S. totaled $175.1 million.
Based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable guidance, the Company records receipts from and payments to Ironwood in two pools: the Development pool which consists of R&D expenses, and the Commercialization pool, which consists of revenue, cost of sales and SG&A expenses. The net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Development pool is recorded in R&D expense and the net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Commercialization pool is recorded in SG&A expense.

In September 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Almirall, S.A. whereby we sublicensed the rights to commercialize linaclotide in Mexico to Almirall. Almirall obtained regulatory approval for linaclotide in Mexico in February 2014 and we recorded income of $2.5 million for a milestone payment from Almirall due upon approval. Almirall is expected to launch the product in Mexico in mid-2014. We will receive royalties based on sales of the product in Mexico, a portion of which will be due to Ironwood.
moksha8
On October 22, 2012, the Company announced an agreement with moksha8, a privately-held pharmaceutical company which markets products in Latin America. The agreement includes an exclusive license from Forest to moksha8 to commercialize Viibryd, and potentially other Forest products, in Latin America.
Under the arrangement, the Company has provided $101.9 million of debt financing to moksha8, of which $19.2 million was funded during the fiscal 2014. Such debt financing has a term of seven years from the date of initial funding and is collateralized by the assets of moksha8. The Company has recorded a loan receivable as a long term asset in the Companys consolidated Balance Sheet which is included in the Other assets caption.
In January 2014, the Company and moksha8 agreed to amend the terms of the agreement, including to terminate (i) the agreements containing Forests obligations to provide additional funding to moksha8 and (ii) Forests option to acquire moksha8, as well as the shareholders of moksha8s option to put to Forest all interests of moksha8. moksha8 will, subject to certain conditions, retain the exclusive license to commercialize Viibryd.
17. Business combinations:
Aptalis
On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired Aptalis Holdings, Inc. (Aptalis); a privately held U.S. based pharmaceutical company, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $2.9 billion minus Aptalis existing indebtedness and related fees and costs, minus certain of Aptalis expenses, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options. The Company funded the acquisition through $1.2 billion of cash on hand, including $650.0 of cash from a foreign subsidiary, and the proceeds from the issuance of aggregate principal of $1.8 billion of Senior Notes issued on January 31, 2014.
Aptalis is an international, specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing, manufacturing, licensing and marketing therapies for certain cystic fibrosis (CF) and gastrointestinal-related disorders. Aptalis business focuses on therapeutic areas that are currently underserved by large pharmaceutical companies and are characterized by products used for chronic conditions. Aptalis has manufacturing and commercial operations in the U.S., the European Union and Canada, and its principal products include Zenpep® (pancrelipase), Canasa®
F-350
(mesalamine, USP), Carafate® (sucralfate tablets and suspensions), Pylera®(bismuth subcitrate potassium; metronidazole; tetracycline HCl) and Salofalk® (mesalamine).
As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired Aptalis Pharmaceutical Technologies (PT) business. The PT business consists of a portfolio of proprietary technology platforms that have produced over 35 approved products in over 35 countries, supported the Aptalis specialty pharmaceutical business and provided an opportunity to develop innovative internal products and the flexibility to offer third-parties co-development programs, product out-licensing and manufacturing programs.
With this acquisition, the Company gained numerous strategic benefits, including an increased presence both domestically and internationally, expansion of its key therapeutic areas and customer base, and an opportunity to realize operating efficiencies.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired, including goodwill and intangible assets, and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. These amounts are provisional and subject to change:

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the total identifiable net assets recognized and represents the expected synergies of the purchased business, the assembled workforce, the broadening of the Companys gastrointestinal therapeutic area and expansion into the CF market.
Included in the assets acquired were definite lived intangible assets of $2.9 billion and indefinite lived intangible assets of $16.6 million which consisted of In Process Research & Development (IPR&D) assets.
Upon consummation of the Aptalis acquisition, Forest performed a detailed fair value analysis of each of the definite lived and indefinite lived intangibles to determine fair value using the income approach. Significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include, but are not limited to the estimated net cash flows, the appropriate discount rate, the assessment of each assets life cycle and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream.
A key variable in determining the fair value of IPR&D includes the application of probability factors related to the likelihood of success of the respective products reaching each remaining stage of clinical and regulatory
F-351
development, including market commercialization. Acquired IPR&D assets are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. These assets will not be amortized into earnings and, instead, these assets will be subject to periodic impairment analysis until the completion of the development process and the determination of the useful life of the asset is made. At such time, the asset would then be considered a definite lived intangible asset and amortized accordingly. If an IPR&D project were not successfully developed, an impairment charge may result.
Actual and Pro Forma Impact
The Companys consolidated Financial Statements include Aptalis results of operations from the date of acquisition on January 31, 2014 through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Net sales, net loss and net loss per share attributable to Aptalis during this period and included in the Companys consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2014 totaled $108.4 million, ($24.0) million and ($0.09) respectively.
The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the Companys acquisition of Aptalis as if the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2012 and had been included in the Companys consolidated results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013:

The historical consolidated financial information of Forest has been adjusted to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results, including the issuance of $1.2 billion of Senior Notes in December 2013 and the issuance of $1.8 billion of senior unsecured notes in January 2014. The unaudited pro forma information does not and is not intended to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company and do not reflect any acquisition-related restructuring charges and integration charges expected to be incurred by Forest in connection with the acquisition.
Clinical Data
On April 13, 2011, the Company acquired Clinical Data, a specialty pharmaceutical company, for $30 per share, plus contingent consideration, per a Contingent Value Rights agreement (CVR) of up to $6 per share if certain milestones connected to sales of Viibryd, one of the acquired products, are achieved. The acquisition was consummated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through a tender offer and merger, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Clinical Data and all related securities. The Company fully integrated the operations of Clinical Data into its existing structure. The aggregate consideration paid was approximately $1.3 billion, which the Company financed with existing cash.
The approximate range of undiscounted amounts the Company may be required to pay under the CVR is between zero and $275 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized at the acquisition date was approximately $25 million which the Company determined based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be zero, which resulted in an adjustment of $25.2 million which is included in SG&A expense.
18. Restructuring initiative:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company announced Project Rejuvenate, a $500 million cost savings initiative with a goal of streamlining operations and reducing the Companys operating cost base. Project
F-352
Rejuvenate is focused on three areas: flattening and broadening the organization to reduce layers and increase spans of control, increase the Companys productivity and profitability by decreasing costs and streamlining work to reduce low value activities.
The Company expects annualized savings of approximately $270 million associated with the streamlining and realigning the R&D organization, $150 million in savings associated with the reduction of marketing expenses and $80 million in cost savings from a reduction in general and administrative expenses. Forest currently estimates that approximately $110 million of the cost savings will result from a reduction in headcount. The Company expects to achieve 65%-75% of the cost savings from Project Rejuvenate by the end of fiscal 2015 and the remainder by the end of fiscal 2016.
The Company expects the total cost to implement Project Rejuvenate to be in the range of $150 million to $200 million. For the year ended March 31, 2014, Forest recorded $154.1 million in pre-tax restructuring expenses, which was comprised of $74.9 million for the write down to fair value of certain facilities deemed held for sale as a result of Project Rejuvenate, $59.3 million for employee termination benefits, and $20.0 million for consulting and other fees. These expenses were recorded in R&D expense and SG&A expense, as appropriate.
The liability balance for the cost savings initiative as of March 31, 2014 is as follows:

In addition to Project Rejuvenate, the Company recognized $16.5 million of post-employment benefits related to the Aptalis integration during the fiscal fourth quarter. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has a liability balance of $7.3 million related to employee termination costs in connection with the Aptalis integration.
19. Actavis transaction:
On February 17, 2014, the Company and Actavis plc (Actavis), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger), dated as of February 17, 2014 (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Actavis has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to acquire the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis. The merger is expected to close during the second half of calendar 2014.
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon completion of the Merger, each share of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof: (1) a combination of $26.04 in cash plus 0.3306 Actavis ordinary shares (the Mixed Election Consideration); (2) $86.81 in cash (the Cash Election Consideration); or (3) 0.4723 Actavis ordinary shares (the Stock Election Consideration). Shares of Company common stock with respect to which no election is made will receive the Mixed Election Consideration. Stockholders who make the Cash Election or the Stock Election will be subject to proration to ensure that the total amount of cash paid and the total number of Actavis shares issued to Forest shareholders as a whole are equal to the total amount of cash and number of Actavis shares that would have been paid and issued if all Forest shareholders received the Mixed Election consideration.
F-353
Each of Actavis and Forests obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the following: (i) approval of Actavis shareholders of the issuance of Actavis shares, (ii) approval of Forest stockholders of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (iii) expiration of the waiting period (or extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976 and receipt of any approvals required thereunder and under applicable foreign antitrust laws having been obtained, (iv) the shares of Actavis to be issued in the Merger being approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, (v) the representations and warranties of the other party being true and correct, subject to the materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement, (vi) absence of specified adverse laws or orders, (vii) an Irish prospectus with respect to the Actavis shares to be issued (if required by Irish law) in the Merger being approved by the Central Bank of Ireland and made available to the public in accordance with Irish prospectus law, (viii) material compliance by the other party with its covenants and (ix) no material adverse effect having occurred with respect to the other party since the signing of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including, among others, (a) the right of either Actavis or Forest to terminate the Merger Agreement if Forests stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement or if Actavis shareholders fail to approve the issuance of Actavis shares, (b) the right of either Actavis or Forest to terminate the Merger Agreement if the board of directors of the other party changes its recommendation with respect to the transaction, (c) the right of either Actavis or Forest to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not occurred by six months after the date of the Merger Agreement (the Outside Date), subject to certain conditions, provided that the Outside Date may be extended by up to an additional four months in certain circumstances, and (d) the right of either Actavis or Forest to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a material breach by the other party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants which would result in the closing conditions not being satisfied, subject to certain conditions.
20. Subsequent events:
On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex) for $1.1 billion in cash and up to $30 per share in contingent value rights. Through the acquisition of Furiex, a drug development collaboration company based in the U.S., the Company will have access to Furiexs leading drug candidate, eluxadoline, a locally-acting mu opioid receptor agonist and a delta opioid receptor antagonist for treating symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d). Eluxadoline and other products acquired will compliment and build on the Companys GI therapeutic business.

FOREST LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 270-10 and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In managements opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim periods presented and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. Operating results for the three months period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. When used in these notes, the terms Forest or the Company mean Forest Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries. The June 30, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes hereto incorporated by reference in the Companys Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
The Company has reflected a revision of $26.2 million in the income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The revision is a result of certain considerations included in the Companys income tax provision for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 which resulted in an understatement of income tax expense. Such amounts were not material to the previously issued financial statements for fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company modified the presentation of its Consolidated Statements of Operations effective for all periods presented, whereby Interest income, interest expense and other miscellaneous income/expense is presented in the Interest and other income (expense) caption below Operating income (loss). The modified presentation is consistent with industry practice and conforms with the requirements of Regulation S-X 5.03. There were no changes in the Companys accounting policies, methodology for estimates or the activity included in the respective captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
New Accounting Standards
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The update provides guidance for share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition This standard would become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update is meant to converge U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) guidance around revenue recognition related to contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard would become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

The Company determines fair value based on a market approach using quoted market values, significant other observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities, or discounted cash flow analyses. The Company determines the value of its auction rate securities portfolio based upon a discounted cash flow model. The assumptions used in the valuation model include estimates for interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows, and expected holding periods for the auction rate securities.
F-361
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company liquidated substantially all available for sale securities. In addition, the Company sold all of its Level 3 investments. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs:.

The Company issued long-term debt with a carrying value of $3.0 billion during fiscal 2014; see Note 12 for further information.
The majority of the Companys non-financial assets and liabilities are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, the Company is required on a non-recurring basis to use fair value measurements when assessing asset impairment as it relates to goodwill, license agreements, product rights, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company liquidated substantially all available for sale securities. In addition, the Company sold all of its Level 3 investments. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale debt securities were $1.5 billion and $316.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Gross realized gains on those sales were $4.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In order to determine gross realized gains and losses, the Company uses average cost. The Company records holding gains and losses on available for sale securities in the Accumulated other comprehensive income caption in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company had no net unrealized holding gains or losses at June 30, 2014 and a net unrealized holding gain of $0.9 million at March 31, 2014. The preceding tables do not include the Companys equity securities for Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ironwood) and Trevena, Inc. (Trevena). The carrying value of the Companys equity securities in Ironwood, which were measured at fair market value based on quoted market prices for the related security, was $31.9 million and $25.7 million at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The Company purchased $30 million of Trevena preferred stock in a round of private placement financing during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. This investment was accounted for using the cost method. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Trevena filed an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and as a result, the Companys preferred stock converted to common shares. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company purchased an additional $3.0 million of common stock. The fair value of Trevena common stock held was $19.2 million and $26.7 million at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
6. License and collaboration agreements:
Ironwood collaboration
In September 2007, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Ironwood to jointly develop and commercialize Linzess® (linaclotide) for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shares equally with Ironwood all profits and losses from the development and commercialization of Linzess in the U.S. In addition, Forest obtained exclusive rights to the linaclotide license in Canada and Mexico, for which the Company will pay royalties to Ironwood based on net sales in those territories, subject to receiving regulatory approval.
F-363
The agreement included contingent milestone payments as well as a contingent equity investment based on the achievement of specific clinical and commercial milestones. As of June 30, 2014, payments totaling $230 million relating to development and approval milestones have been made. The Company may be obligated to pay up to an additional $100 million if certain sales milestones are achieved.
Linzess received FDA approval as a once-daily treatment for adult men and women suffering from IBS-C and CIC in August 2012. For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, Linzess sales in the U.S. totaled $63.1 million.
Based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable guidance, the Company records receipts from and payments to Ironwood in two pools: the Development pool, which consists of research and development (R&D) expenses, and the Commercialization pool, which consists of revenue, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense. The net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Development pool is recorded in R&D expense and the net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Commercialization pool is recorded in SG&A expense.

moksha8
On October 22, 2012, the Company announced an agreement with moksha8, a privately-held pharmaceutical company which markets products in Latin America. The agreement included an exclusive license from Forest to moksha8 to commercialize Viibryd, and potentially other Forest products, in Latin America. In addition, the Company agreed to provide up to $125 million in debt financing to moksha8 in several tranches over a two-year period, conditioned upon moksha8 achieving certain business goals. The agreement also included an option for Forest to acquire moksha8 at a fixed price of $157 million at the end of the two year period, subsequent to which the shareholders of moksha8 had an option to put to Forest all interests of moksha8 at a fixed price of $144 million.
Under the arrangement, the Company has provided $101.9 million of debt financing to moksha8. Such debt financing has a term of seven years from the date of initial funding and is collateralized by the assets of moksha8. The Company has recorded a loan receivable as a long term asset in the Companys condensed consolidated Balance Sheet which is included in the Other assets caption.
In January 2014, the Company and moksha8 amended the terms the original agreement which terminated Forests obligation to provide additional funding to moksha8. The amendment also terminated Forests option to acquire moksha8 as well as the shareholders of moksha8s option to put to Forest all interests of moksha8. moksha8 retains the exclusive license to commercialize Viibryd and continues to work with the Company to obtain licenses to additional products in Latin America.

Options to purchase approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $51.54 to $96.42 per share and options to purchase approximately 8.0 million shares at exercise prices ranging from $30.00 to $59.05 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. These options expire through 2024. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding is reduced by the treasury stock method which, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10 CompensationStock Compensation, takes into consideration the compensation cost attributed to future services not yet recognized.
8. Stockholders equity:
Stock based compensation: Under the 2007 Plan, as amended, 57 million shares have been authorized to be issued. The 2007 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock equivalent units. These awards generally vest in three to five years. Stock options, granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant, may be exercisable for up to ten years from the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2014, 29.4 million shares were available for grant under the amended 2007 Plan. Stock based compensation expense of $19.5 million ($12.4 million net of tax) and $14.7 million ($9.1 million net of tax) was recorded for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. This expense is charged to Cost of sales, SG&A expense and R&D expense, as appropriate.

10. Income taxes:
The Companys income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 2007 in most jurisdictions and prior to 2008 in Ireland are no longer subject to review as such fiscal years are generally closed. Tax authorities in various jurisdictions are in the process of reviewing the Companys income tax returns for various post-2006 fiscal years, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which is currently reviewing fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009. It is unlikely that the outcome will be determined within the next twelve months.
F-365
Potential claims for years under review could be material.
The Companys continuing practice is to recognize net interest related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three months period ended June 30, 2014, the Company accrued an additional $3.2 million in interest for a total of $54.9 million related to the resolution of various income tax matters.
Our effective tax rate was 35.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 39.2% for the same period last year due to a change in the mix of earnings by location.
11. Contingencies:
The Company is subject to the various legal proceedings and claims discussed below as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company believes that the proceedings brought against Forest are without merit and in certain instances the Company has insurance, litigation is subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that Forest will not incur material costs in the resolution of these matters.
Average Wholesale Price Litigation
The Company is a defendant in four state court actions that allege that the plaintiffs (all governmental entities) were overcharged for their share of Medicaid drug reimbursement costs as a result of reporting by manufacturers of average wholesale prices (AWP) that did not correspond to actual provider costs of prescription drugs. These actions are pending in Illinois (commenced February 7, 2005), Mississippi (commenced October 20, 2005), Utah (commenced May 2008), and Wisconsin (a qui tam AWP action commenced by the former Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin on February 20, 2012 that the State declined to join). Discovery is ongoing in these actions. On November 15, 2013, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action moved for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. On March 26, 2014, the Mississippi state court granted plaintiffs motion in part, but denied plaintiffs request to add generic drug products to its claims. Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint. On May 21, 2014, the plaintiff in the Mississippi action filed a separate complaint asserting claims against Forest with respect to the pricing of its generic drugs, and Forest has filed a motion to dismiss certain of these claims. A trial in the Mississippi action is scheduled in August 2015. A motion to dismiss the Utah action was granted, but the Utah Supreme Court, while upholding the lower courts ruling regarding a statute of limitations issue, reversed that ruling and allowed the plaintiff to replead. The plaintiff filed another Amended Complaint, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. This motion to dismiss was denied in part, and discovery is proceeding. On February 17, 2014, the Wisconsin state court granted defendants motion to dismiss plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. On April 14, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint, and on May 16, 2014, plaintiff filed an appeal of the courts February 17, 2014 ruling. On June 12, 2014, the court denied plaintiffs motion to file a Third Amended Complaint and dismissed the case without prejudice. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Celexa/Lexapro Class Actions
The Company is a defendant in three federal court actions filed on behalf of individuals who purchased Celexa and/or Lexapro for pediatric use, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the caption In re Celexa and Lexapro Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation. These actions, two of which were originally filed as putative nationwide class actions, and one of which is a putative California-wide class action, allege that Forest marketed Celexa and/or Lexapro for off-label pediatric use and paid illegal kickbacks to
F-366
physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. The complaints assert various similar claims, including claims under the Missouri and California consumer protection statutes, respectively, and state common laws. On February 5, 2013, the district judge overseeing the MDL denied all plaintiffs motions for class certification. On February 18, 2013, the plaintiff in the California action filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On April 16, 2013, the First Circuit denied the petition. On April 30, 2013, plaintiffs in the other two actions filed an Amended Complaint seeking to certify state-wide class actions in Illinois, Missouri, and New York under those states consumer protection statutes. On January 13, 2014, the district judge denied plaintiffs motion with respect to the proposed Illinois and New York classes and allowed it with respect to the proposed Missouri class. The Company filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on January 27, 2014. On March 12, 2014, the Company reached agreement with the MDL plaintiffs to settle the Missouri class claims, including claim by both individuals and third party payors that purchased Celexa or Lexapro for use by a minor from 1998 to December 31, 2013. In exchange for a release from class members, Forest paid $7.65 million into a fund that will cover (1) the settlement benefits paid to class members, (2) administration costs, (3) incentive awards to be paid to the representative plaintiffs, and (4) attorneys fees and costs. If valid claims are greater than $4.215 million, Forest will pay up to $2.7 million more to pay for the additional valid claims (the Companys total settlement payment shall not exceed $10.35 million). The district court judge preliminarily approved the settlement on March 14, 2014 and issued an order enjoining all class members and other persons from litigating claims relating to those covered by the settlement. A hearing on whether the court should grant final approval of the settlement was held on July 16, 2014.
On May 3, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of individuals who purchased Lexapro for adolescent use, seeking to certify a state-wide class action in California and alleging that Forest promotion of Lexapro for adolescent depression has been deceptive. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraph and, on July 29, 2013, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint. The district court judge granted the Companys motion to dismiss on March 5, 2014. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on March 17, 2014 and filed its appeal brief on July 24, 2014. The Companys opposition brief is due on August 25, 2014.
On November 13, 2013, another action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to certify a nationwide class of third-party payor entities that purchased Celexa and Lexapro for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 15, 2014. On February 5, 2014, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the complaint and filed a First Amended Complaint, which, among other things, added claims on behalf of a Minnesota class of entities and consumers under Minnesotas consumer protection statutes. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on April 9, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
On March 13, 2014, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by two third-party payors seeking to certify a nationwide class of persons and entities that purchased Celexa and Lexapro for use by pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, state consumer protection statutes, and state common laws, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. This action was filed as a related action to the action described above in the preceding paragraph. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2014. A motion hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2014.
The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
F-367
The Company is also named as defendants in two actions filed on behalf of entities or individuals who purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa and Lexapro for pediatric use pending in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, and arising from similar allegations as those contained in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraphs. The first action, filed on November 6, 2009 under the caption St. Louis Labor Healthcare Network et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc., is brought by two entities that purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa and/or Lexapro. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. The Company has reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve this action for payments that are not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations. The second action, filed on July 22, 2009 under the caption Crawford v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now known as Luster v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a putative class action on behalf of a class of Missouri citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. In October 2010, the court certified a class of Missouri domiciliary citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use at any time prior to the date of the class certification order, but who do not have a claim for personal injury. On December 9, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which was argued on January 8, 2014. On February 21, 2014, the Company filed a motion to de-certify the class. Decisions on these motions are pending. On March 12, 2014, the Company informed the judge of the MDL Missouri class settlement described above, including that the federal class encompasses the members of the certified Missouri class in Luster. At a status conference on April 2, 2014 the parties agreed that the action is stayed in light of the injunction contained in the MDL Preliminary Approval Order, described above. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Employment Litigation
In July 2012, the Company was named as defendants in an action brought by Megan Barrett, Lindsey Houser, Jennifer Jones, and Jennifer Seard, former Company Sales Representatives, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Megan Barrett et al. v. Forest Laboratories Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In November 2012, Plaintiffs amended the complaint, adding six additional plaintiffs: Kimberly Clinton, Erin Eckenrode, Julie Smyth, Marie Avila, Andrea Harley, and Christy Lowder, all of whom alleged that they were current or former Company Sales Representatives or Specialty Sales Representatives. In March 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding one additional plaintiff: Tracy Le, a now-former Company Sales Representative. The action is a putative class and collective action, and the Second Amended Complaint alleges class claims under Title VII for gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions, as well as discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, and a collective action claim under the Equal Pay Act. The proposed Title VII gender class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives (defined to include Territory Sales Representatives, Field Sales Representatives, Medical Sales Representatives, Professional Sales Representatives, Specialty Sales Representatives, Field Sales Trainers, and Regional Sales Trainers) employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment, and the proposed Title VII pregnancy sub-class includes all current and former female Sales Representatives who have been, are, or will become pregnant while employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date of judgment. The proposed Equal Pay Act collective action class includes current, former, and future female Sales Representatives who were not compensated equally to similarly-situated male employees during the applicable liability period. The Second Amended Complaint also includes non-class claims on behalf of certain of the named Plaintiffs for sexual harassment and retaliation under Title VII, and for violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act. The Company filed a motion to dismiss certain claims on April 29, 2013, which was argued on January 16, 2014. Forest intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.

Government Investigations
The Company received a subpoena dated April 20, 2011 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena requests documents relating to Benicar, Benicar HCT, and Azor, prescription medications approved for the treatment of hypertension. Forest co-marketed Benicar and Benicar HCT from 2002 to 2008, and Azor from 2007 to 2008, together with the drugs originator Sankyo under co-promotion agreements. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
The Company received a subpoena dated May 6, 2013 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Tudorza Pressair, including with respect to speaker programs for this product. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
The Company received a subpoena dated August 5, 2013 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. The subpoena requests documents relating to the marketing and promotion of Bystolic, Savella, and Namenda, including with respect to speaker programs for these products. In February 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Kurt Kroening et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in April 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Bystolic and Savella and kickbacks provided to physicians to induce prescriptions of Bystolic, Savella, and Viibryd. In January 2014, the Eastern District of Wisconsin U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it had not completed its investigation and therefore would not intervene in the action at that time (while reserving the right to intervene at a later date). The Company is continuing to cooperate with this investigation and to discuss these issues with the government. Forest intends to vigorously defend against the complaint. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In April 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam complaint with the caption United States of America ex rel. Timothy Leysock v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This complaint, which was filed in July 2012, asserts claims under the False Claims Act and contains allegations regarding off-label promotion of Namenda. An Amended Complaint was filed in October 2012 and a Second Amended Complaint was filed in April 2014. On April 16, 2014, the District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorneys Office notified the court that it was declining to intervene in the action. Forest intends to vigorously defend against the complaint. Forest filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 30, 2014. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
On February 20, 2014, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicating that the FTC is conducting a nonpublic investigation into Forest agreements with the ANDA filers for Bystolic. On May 2, 2014, Forest received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC requesting documents regarding such agreements. The Company is cooperating in responding to the investigation.
On February 28, 2014, May 7, 2014, and May 29, 2014, the Company received Investigatory Subpoenas from the New York Attorney Generals Office primarily requesting (1) information regarding plans to discontinue the sale of Namenda tablets and (2) the Companys agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic. The Company is cooperating in responding to the subpoena.
Product Liability Litigation
The Company is a defendant in approximately 221 product liability actions. Thirteen actions involve allegations that Celexa or Lexapro caused or contributed to individuals committing or attempting suicide, or
F-369
caused a violent event. The MDL that was established for the federal suicidality-related litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has concluded and the remaining cases have been remanded to the federal district courts in which they were filed originally. Nine trials have been scheduled in these actions in 2014 and 2015.
Approximately 194 actions involve allegations that Celexa or Lexapro caused various birth defects. The majority of these actions have been consolidated in Cole County Circuit Court in Missouri. One action is set for trial in Cole County in April 2015. Fifteen actions were recently remanded to New Jersey state courts from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (nine actions are now pending in Atlantic County, New Jersey and six actions are now pending in Hudson County, New Jersey). Approximately five actions remain pending in New Jersey federal court. One action is pending in Orange County, California and is set for trial in March 2015.
Approximately twelve actions involve allegations that Benicar, a treatment for hypertension that the Company co-promoted with Daiichi Sankyo between 2002 and 2008, caused certain gastrointestinal injuries. Under Forest Co-Promotion Agreement, Daiichi Sankyo is defending Forest in these lawsuits.
Each product liability action seeks compensatory and punitive damages. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these actions. For claims filed before April 1, 2014, the Company generally maintains $140 million of product liability coverage (annually, per occurrence on a claims-made basis, and in the aggregate). For these claims, the Companys self-insured retention is $10 million per claim and $50 million in the aggregate. Claims filed after April 1, 2014 will be reported to the policy for the previous year. However, for these claims Forests self-insured retention is $20 million per claim and $60 million in the aggregate. Moreover, the Company is self-insuring a layer of coverage $10 million in excess of $55 million.
Patent Litigation
In September, October, and November 2013, and February 2014, Forest and Royalty Pharma Collection Trust (Royalty), the Companys licensor for Savella, brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,602,911 (the 911 patent), U.S. Patent No. 7,888,342 (the 342 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 7,994,220 (the 220 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Amneal, Apotex, First Time US Generics, Glenmark, Hetero, Lupin, Mylan, Par, Ranbaxy, Sandoz, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Forest that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Savella before these patents expire. (The 342 patent expires in November 2021, the 911 patent expires in January 2023, and the 220 patent expires in September 2029.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs until July 14, 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest and Royalty Pharma sooner). On March 7, 2014, the Company and Royalty voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, all claims against Sandoz. On March 20, 2014, the district court consolidated all of the remaining pending actions for all purposes and issued a scheduling order setting a trial date in January 2016. On May 12, 2014, the Company and Royalty entered into a settlement agreement with First Time US Generics. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to review of the settlement terms by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Forest will provide a license to First Time that will permit it to launch its generic version of SAVELLA as of the date that is the later of (a) six (6) calendar months prior to the expiration date of the last to expire of the 911 patent, the 342 patent, and the 220 patent, including any extensions and/or pediatric exclusivities; or (b) the date that First Time obtains final FDA approval of its ANDA, or earlier in certain circumstances.
In January, February, and April 2014, the Company and Merz Pharma and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, the Companys licensors for Namenda XR, brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,168,209 (the 209 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,173,708 (the 708 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,283,379 (the 379 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,329,752 (the 752 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,362,085 (the 085 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,598,233 (the 233 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Wockhardt, Teva, Sun, Apotex, Anchen, Zydus, Watson, Par, Mylan, Amneal,
F-370
Amerigen, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Forest that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Namenda XR before these certain patents expire. (The 703 patent expires in April 2015, the 009 patent expires in March 2029, and the 209, 708, 379, 752, 085, and 233 patents expire in November 2025.) These lawsuits triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs that expires no earlier than June 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Forest, Merz, and Adamas sooner).
In December 2013, the Company was named as a defendant in an action brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. The complaint alleges that the Company infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing Namenda XR. The relief requested includes preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and damages. Forest intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In July 2013, the Companys subsidiaries Aptalis Pharma US, Inc. and Aptalis Pharma Canada Inc. brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,217,083 (the 083 patent) and U.S. Patent No. 8,436,051 (the 051 patent) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Mylan and Sandoz. These companies have notified Aptalis that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of CANASA before these patents expire. Amended complaints were filed against these companies in November 2013 adding claims for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,854,384 (the 384 patent). The 083, 051, and 384 patents expire in June 2028. No trial date has been set.
Stockholder Litigation
In February and March 2014, nine putative stockholder class actions were brought against the Company, Forest directors, Actavis plc, and certain of Actaviss affiliates. Four actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and have been consolidated under the caption In re Forest Laboratories, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (the Delaware Action). Five actions were filed in New York State Supreme Court and have been consolidated under the caption Turberg v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. et al. (the New York Action). On April 4 and May 5, 2014, respectively, the Delaware and New York plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints in their respective jurisdictions. The amended complaints seek, among other remedies, to enjoin Actaviss proposed acquisition of Forest or damages in the event the transaction closes. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Forest Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Forest for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process, and that the disclosure document fails to disclose allegedly material information about the transaction. The complaints also allege that Actavis, and certain of its affiliates, aided and abetted these alleged breaches. On May 28, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and the New York Action regarding a settlement of both Actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Forest agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with Actavis, which are contained in a Form 8-K filed May 28, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the Delaware Court of Chancery will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction, the merger agreement, and any disclosure made in connection therewith, including in the Definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the Actions. There can be no assurance that
F-371
the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Delaware Court of Chancery will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In May 2014, four putative stockholder class actions were brought against the Company, Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex), and Furiexs board of directors. Two actions were brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the captions Steven Kollman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Donald Powell v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the Delaware Actions). Two actions were brought in North Carolina state court under the captions Walter Nakatsukasa v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. and Christopher Shinneman v. Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (the North Carolina Actions). These actions alleged, among other things, that the members of the Furiex Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Furiex for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process. These actions also alleged that Forest aided and abetted these alleged breaches. These actions sought class certification, to enjoin the proposed acquisition of Furiex, and an award of unspecified damages, attorneys fees, experts fees, and other costs. The Kollman and Nakatsukasa actions also sought recission of the acquisition and unspecified recissory damages if the acquisition was completed. On June 23, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the Delaware Actions and the North Carolina Actions regarding a settlement of all four actions, and that agreement is reflected in a memorandum of understanding. In connection with the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, Furiex agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with us, which are contained in a Form DEFA14A filed June 23, 2014. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval. In the event that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the North Carolina state court will consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve and release all claims in all four actions that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of the proposed transaction and any disclosure made in connection therewith, pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of attorneys fees and expenses that shall be paid to plaintiffs counsel in connection with the actions. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the North Carolina state court will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation
In October 2012, the Company was named as a defendant, along with The Peer Group, Inc. (TPG), in a putative class action brought by the St. Louis Heart Center (SLHC) under the caption St. Louis Heart Center, Inc. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and The Peer Group, Inc. The action is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On May 17, 2013, SLHC filed a Fourth Amended Complaint, alleging that Forest and TPG violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA), on behalf of a proposed class that includes all persons who, from four years prior to the filing of the action, were sent telephone facsimile messages of material advertising the commercial availability of any property, goods, or services by or on behalf of defendants, which did not display an opt-out notice compliant with a certain regulation promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Fourth Amended Complaint seeks $500 for each alleged violation of the TCPA, treble damages if the Court finds the violations to be willful, knowing or intentional, interest, and injunctive and other relief. On May 21, 2013, in Nack v. Walburg, a separate case in which the Company was not a party, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the district court in that case lacked jurisdiction to determine
F-372
the validity of this FCC regulation and that the defendant in that case could only challenge the validity of this regulation through an administrative petition submitted directly to the FCC, a decision that would then be appealable to the appropriate court of appeals. On June 27, 2013, Forest filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC requesting that the FCC find that (1) the faxes at issue in the action complied, or substantially complied with the FCC regulation, and thus did not violate it, or (2) the FCC regulation was not properly promulgated under the TCPA. On July 17, 2013, the district court granted Forests motion to stay the action pending the administrative proceeding initiated by Forests FCC Petition, including any appeal therefrom. On January 31, 2014, the FCC released a Public Notice in response to several related petitions, including ours. The comment and reply period for this Public Notice closed on February 14 and February 21, 2014, respectively. Forest intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, Forest is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
12. Debt:
On January 31, 2014 the Company issued $1.8 billion aggregate senior unsecured notes (the $1.8 billion Senior Notes), comprised of $1.05 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2019 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due 2021. The Company will pay interest on the $1.05 billion of senior unsecured notes at 4.375% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing on August 1, 2014. The Company will pay interest on the $750 million of senior unsecured notes at 4.875% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2014. The Company incurred $22.5 million in deferred financing costs associated with the $1.8 Senior Notes which will be amortized over the term of the notes. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $20.6 million of interest expense and $1.0 million of amortization of deferred financing fees related to the $1.8 Senior Notes. At June 30, 2014, the fair value of the $1.8 Senior Notes was $2.0 billion which was determined using Level 2 inputs based on a market approach.
On December 10, 2013 the Company issued $1.2 billion of 5.00% Senior Notes (the 5.00% Senior Notes), which mature on December 15, 2021. The 5.00% Senior Notes accrue interest per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2014. The Company incurred $18.5 million in deferred financing costs associated with the 5.00% Senior Notes which will be amortized over the term of the notes. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $15.0 million of interest expense and $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing fees related to the 5.00% Senior Notes. At June 30, 2014, the fair value of the 5.00% Senior Notes was $1.3 billion which was determined using Level 2 inputs based on a market approach.
13. Restructuring initiative:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company announced Project Rejuvenate, a $500 million cost savings initiative with a goal of streamlining operations and reducing the Companys operating cost base. Project Rejuvenate is focused on three areas: flattening and broadening the organization to reduce layers and increase spans of control, increase the Companys productivity and profitability by decreasing costs and streamlining work to reduce low value activities.
The Company expects annualized savings of approximately $270 million associated with the streamlining and realigning the R&D organization, $150 million in savings associated with the reduction of marketing expenses and $80 million in cost savings from a reduction in general and administrative expenses. Forest currently estimates that approximately $110 million of the cost savings will result from a reduction in headcount. The Company expects to achieve 65%-75% of the cost savings from Project Rejuvenate by the end of fiscal 2015 and the remainder by the end of fiscal 2016.
The Company expects the total cost to implement Project Rejuvenate to be in the range of $150 million to $200 million. For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, Forest recorded $0.9 million of adjustments which
F-373
was comprised of $5.9 million increase in consulting fees partially offset by a decrease of $4.9 million for employee termination benefits. These expenses were recorded in R&D expense and SG&A expense, as appropriate.
The liability balance for the cost savings initiative as of June 30, 2014 is as follows:

In addition to Project Rejuvenate, the Company recognized $16.5 million of post-employment benefits related to the Aptalis integration during the fiscal fourth quarter. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has a liability balance of $0.6 million related to employee termination costs in connection with the Aptalis integration.
14. Business combinations:
Aptalis
On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired Aptalis Holdings, Inc. (Aptalis); a privately held U.S. based pharmaceutical company, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $2.9 billion minus Aptalis existing indebtedness and related fees and costs, minus certain of Aptalis expenses, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options. The Company funded the acquisition through $1.2 billion of cash on hand, including $650.0 of cash from a foreign subsidiary, and the proceeds from the issuance of aggregate principal of $1.8 billion of Senior Notes issued on January 31, 2014.
Included in the assets acquired were definite lived intangible assets of $2.9 billion and indefinite lived intangible assets of $16.6 million which consisted of In Process Research & Development (IPR&D) assets. Acquired IPR&D assets are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. These assets will not be amortized into earnings and, instead, these assets will be subject to periodic impairment analysis until the completion of the development process and the determination of the useful life of the asset is made. At such time, the asset would then be considered a definite lived intangible asset and amortized accordingly. If an IPR&D project were not successfully developed, an impairment charge may result.
The Company adjusted the goodwill balance associated with the purchase of Aptalis during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 upon finalizing the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as a result of an update in fair value of acquired liabilities.
The Companys goodwill balance associated with the Aptalis is as follows:

Actavis
On February 17, 2014, the Company and Actavis plc (Actavis), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger), dated as of February 17, 2014 (the Merger
F-374
Agreement), pursuant to which Actavis has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to acquire Forest for a combination of cash and equity valued at approximately $25 billion. The merger was completed as of July 1, 2014 and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis.
Upon completion of the Merger, each share of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than dissenting shares) was be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof: (1) a combination of $26.04 in cash plus 0.3306 Actavis ordinary shares (the Mixed Election Consideration); (2) $86.81 in cash (the Cash Election Consideration); or (3) 0.4723 Actavis ordinary shares (the Stock Election Consideration). Shares of Company common stock with respect to which no election is made received the Mixed Election Consideration. Stockholders who make the Cash Election or the Stock Election will be subject to proration to ensure that the total amount of cash paid and the total number of Actavis shares issued to Forest shareholders as a whole are equal to the total amount of cash and number of Actavis shares that would have been paid and issued if all Forest shareholders received the Mixed Election consideration.
Furiex
On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Furiex) for $1.1 billion in cash and up to $30 per share in contingent value rights. On July 2, 2014 Actavis completed the acquisition on behalf of Forest as its subsidiary, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.1 billion, and up to approximately $360 million in a Contingent Value Right (CVR) that may be payable based on the status of eluxadoline, Furiexs lead product, as a controlled drug following approval.
In connection with the close of the Furiex acquisition, Actavis further announced that it has closed the transaction related to the sale of Furiexs royalties on alogliptin and Priligy® to Royalty Pharma for approximately $415 million.
Through the acquisition of Furiex, a drug development collaboration company based in the U.S., the Company will have access to Furiexs leading drug candidate, eluxadoline, a locally-acting mu opioid receptor agonist and a delta opioid receptor antagonist for treating symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d). Eluxadoline and other products acquired will compliment and build on the Companys GI therapeutic business.

The Company determines fair value based on a market approach using quoted market values, significant other observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities, or discounted cash flow analyses. The Company determines the value of its auction rate securities portfolio based upon a discounted cash flow model. The assumptions used in the valuation model include estimates for interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows, and expected holding periods for the auction rate securities.
There were no purchases or sales of Level 3 investments during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013.
The Company also issued long-term debt with a carrying value of $1.2 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2013. See Note 12 for further information.
The majority of the Companys non-financial assets and liabilities are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, the Company is required on a non-recurring basis to use fair value measurements when
F-382
assessing asset impairment as it relates to goodwill, license agreements, product rights, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale debt securities were $851.2 million and $2.5 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Gross realized gains on those sales were $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. In order to determine gross realized gains and losses, the Company uses average cost. The Company records holding gains and losses on available for sale securities in the Accumulated other comprehensive income caption in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company had a net unrealized holding loss of $1.7 million at December 31, 2013 and a net unrealized holding gain of $4.2 million at March 31, 2013. The preceding tables do not include the Companys equity securities for Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ironwood) and Trevena, Inc. (Trevena). The carrying value of the Companys equity securities in Ironwood, which were measured at fair market value based on quoted market prices for the related security, was $24.2 million and $38.1 million at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The Company purchased $30 million of Trevena preferred stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

The Company invests funds in variable rate demand notes that have major bank liquidity agreements, municipal bonds and notes, government agency bonds, commercial paper, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, and auction rate securities. Certain securities are subject to a hard-put option(s) where the principal amount is contractually assured by the issuer and any resistance to the exercise of these options would be deemed as a default by the issuer. Such a potential default would be reflected in the issuers respective credit rating, for which the Company maintains investment grade requirements pursuant to its corporate investment guidelines. While the Company believes its investments that have net unrealized losses are temporary, declines in the value of these investments may be deemed other-than-temporary if the credit and capital markets were to deteriorate in future periods. The Company has the ability and intends to hold its investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired and will continue to monitor global market conditions to minimize the risk of impairments in future periods.
6. License and collaboration agreements:
Saphris license
On November 29, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with Merck Sharp & Dohme B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) pursuant to which the Company purchased exclusive rights in the United States (U.S.) for Saphris® (asenapine) sublingual tablets, a treatment for adult patients with schizophrenia and, as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy, of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Upon the closing of the transaction on January 10, 2014, the Company paid Merck $155 million and entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which it will purchase the product from Merck at an agreed purchase price.
F-384
In addition, the Company is obligated to pay up to an additional $85 million to Merck for costs and expenses incurred in connection with post-marketing clinical trials conducted for Saphris during calendar 2013 which is expected to be paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The agreement also includes certain sales milestone payments to Merck upon the achievement of certain net sales thresholds.
Saphris is an atypical antipsychotic approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and launched in 2009.
Fetzima approval
In July 2013, the Company received FDA approval for FetzimaTM (levomilnacipran extended-release capsules), a once-daily serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adults. The product was launched in December 2013 and recorded sales of $8.0 million of initial trade stocking for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The Company licensed the rights to levomilnacipran in the U.S. and Canada from Pierre Fabre Laboratories, and was obligated to pay a milestone payment of $30 million upon FDA approval. Such milestone payment was capitalized as an intangible asset and is currently being amortized over the life of the patent for Fetzima.
Trevena
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into a collaborative licensing option agreement with Trevena for the development of TRV027, a novel beta-arrestin biased ligand of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased $30 million of Trevena preferred stock in a round of private placement financing which is recorded in the non-current Marketable securities and investments caption in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet. This investment is accounted for using the cost method and will be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event is deemed to have occurred.
Ironwood collaboration
In September 2007, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Ironwood to jointly develop and commercialize Linzess® (linaclotide) for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shares equally with Ironwood all profits and losses from the development and commercialization of Linzess in the U.S. In addition, Forest obtained exclusive rights to the linaclotide license in Canada and Mexico, for which the Company will pay royalties to Ironwood based on net sales in those territories, subject to receiving regulatory approval.
The agreement included contingent milestone payments as well as a contingent equity investment based on the achievement of specific clinical and commercial milestones. As of December 31, 2013, payments totaling $230 million relating to development and approval milestones have been made. The Company may be obligated to pay up to an additional $100 million if certain sales milestones are achieved.
Linzess received FDA approval as a once-daily treatment for adult men and women suffering from IBS-C and CIC in August 2012. For the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013, Linzess sales in the U.S. totaled $51.0 million and $114.3 million, respectively.
Based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable guidance, the Company records receipts from and payments to Ironwood in two pools: the Development pool, which consists of research and development (R&D) expenses, and the Commercialization pool, which consists of revenue, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense. The net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Development pool is recorded in R&D expense and the net payment to or receipt from Ironwood for the Commercialization pool is recorded in SG&A expense.

moksha8
On October 22, 2012, the Company announced an agreement with moksha8, a privately-held pharmaceutical company which markets products in Latin America. The agreement included an exclusive license from Forest to moksha8 to commercialize Viibryd, and potentially other Forest products, in Latin America. In addition, the Company agreed to provide up to $125 million in debt financing to moksha8 in several tranches over a two-year period, conditioned upon moksha8 achieving certain business goals. The agreement also included an option for Forest to acquire moksha8 at a fixed price of $157 million at the end of the two year period, subsequent to which the shareholders of moksha8 had an option to put to Forest all interests of moksha8 at a fixed price of $144 million.
As of December 31, 2013, a total of $101.9 million has been funded of which $19.2 million was funded during the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The loan, which has a term of 6 years from the date of initial funding, is collateralized by the assets of moksha8. The Company has recorded a loan receivable as a long term asset in the Companys condensed consolidated Balance Sheet which is included in the Other assets caption.
The Company accounts for the loan using the cost method and performed an impairment analysis during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with the fair value of the loan being determined based on the fair value of the collateral. The loan is a level 3 financial instrument and the fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model with the key inputs including revenue projections, weighted average cost of capital and discount rates. Based on the analysis performed, the value of the loan was deemed to be appropriate.
In January 2014, the Company and moksha8 amended the terms the original agreement which terminated Forests obligation to provide additional funding to moksha8. The amendment also terminated Forests option to acquire moksha8 as well as the shareholders of moksha8s option to put to Forest all interests of moksha8. moksha8 retains the exclusive license to commercialize Viibryd and continues to work with the Company to obtain licenses to additional products in Latin America.

Options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $42.61 to $59.05 per share and options to purchase approximately 5.0 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $35.63 to $59.05 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. These options expire through 2023. Options to purchase approximately 16.6 million shares at exercise prices ranging from $20.55 to $59.05 per share were not included in the computation of diluted shares for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding is reduced by the treasury stock method which, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10 CompensationStock Compensation, takes into consideration the compensation cost attributed to future services not yet recognized.
On November 26, 2013, the Board terminated the previously outstanding 50 million share repurchase authorization and authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of shares of common stock based on prevailing prices from time to time. The new authorization became effective immediately and has no set expiration date.
8. Stockholders equity:
Stock based compensation: In August 2013, the Companys stockholders approved an amendment to the Companys 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan) whereby an additional 28 million shares were authorized to be issued to employees of the Company. Under the 2007 Plan, as amended, a total of 57 million shares have been authorized to be issued. The 2007 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock equivalent units. These awards generally vest in three to five years. Stock options, granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant, may be exercisable for up to ten years from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2013, 30.3 million shares were available for grant under the amended 2007 Plan. Stock based compensation expense of $24.1 million ($16.3 million net of tax) and $58.6 million ($39.5 million net of tax) was recorded for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, compensation expense of $24.8 million ($17.5 million net of tax) and $53.3 million ($37.9 million net of tax) respectively, was recorded. This expense is charged to Cost of sales, SG&A expense and R&D expense, as appropriate.

10. Income taxes:
The Companys income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 2003 in most jurisdictions and prior to 2008 in Ireland are no longer subject to review as such fiscal years are generally closed. Tax authorities in various jurisdictions are in the process of reviewing the Companys income tax returns for various post-2002 fiscal years, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which has recently concluded its examination of the Companys U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006.
In connection with that examination, the Company agreed to an assessment related to intercompany transfer pricing. Such assessment resulted in additional U.S. federal and state corporation tax within previously established tax reserves and did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations.
Fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are currently under review by the IRS. It is unlikely that the outcome will be determined within the next 12 months. Potential claims for years under review could be material.
The Companys continuing practice is to recognize net interest related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued an additional $13.2 million in interest for a total of $63.5 million related to the resolution of various income tax matters.
Our effective tax rate was 19.5% and 26.9% for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to 16.6% and (2.5%) for the same periods last year. The increase in the current three and nine-month periods compared to last year was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings by jurisdiction, the expiration of the U.S. Research & Experimentation Tax Credit as of December 31, 2013, the write-off of a note receivable related to the termination of the Nabriva development program, partially offset by the impact of Project Rejuvenate.
11. Contingencies:
The Company is a defendant in three federal actions filed on behalf of individuals who purchased Celexa and/or Lexapro for pediatric use, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a MDL proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the caption In re Celexa and Lexapro Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation. These actions, two of which were originally filed as putative nationwide class actions, and one of which is a putative California-wide class action, allege that the Company marketed Celexa and/or Lexapro for off-label pediatric use and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. The complaints assert various similar claims, including claims under the Missouri and California consumer protection statutes, respectively, and state common laws. On February 5, 2013, the district judge overseeing the MDL denied all plaintiffs motions for class certification. On February 18, 2013, the
F-388
plaintiff in the California action filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On April 16, 2013, the First Circuit denied the petition. On April 30, 2013, plaintiffs in the other two actions filed an amended complaint seeking to certify state-wide class actions in Illinois, Missouri, and New York under those states consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs moved for class certification in all these three states on June 28, 2013. On January 13, 2014, the district judge denied plaintiffs motion with respect to the proposed Illinois and New York classes and allowed it with respect to the proposed Missouri class. Forest filed a petition seeking leave to appeal this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on January 27, 2014.
On May 3, 2013, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of individuals who purchased Lexapro for adolescent use, seeking to certify a state-wide class action in California and alleging that our promotion of Lexapro for adolescent depression has been deceptive. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraph and, on July 29, 2013, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was argued before the Court on September 20, 2013, and a decision is pending.
On November 13, 2013, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to certify a nationwide class of third-party payor entities that purchased Celexa and Lexapro for pediatric use. The complaint asserts claims under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging that Forest engaged in an off-label marketing scheme and paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to induce prescriptions of Celexa and Lexapro. This action was transferred to the MDL mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 15, 2014.
The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these cases. At this time, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is less than probable and are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
The Company is also named as defendants in two actions filed on behalf of entities or individuals who purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa or Lexapro for pediatric use pending in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, and arising from similar allegations as those contained in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraphs. The first action, filed on November 6, 2009 under the caption St. Louis Labor Healthcare Network et al. v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Forest Laboratories, Inc., is brought by two entities that purchased or reimbursed certain purchases of Celexa and/or Lexapro. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. The Company has reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve this action for payments that are not material to our financial condition or results of operations. The second action, filed on July 22, 2009 under the caption Crawford v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now known as Luster v. Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a putative class action on behalf of a class of Missouri citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use. Only Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is headquartered in Missouri, is named as a defendant. The complaint asserts claims under the Missouri consumer protection statute and Missouri common law, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys fees. In October 2010, the court certified a class of Missouri domiciliary citizens who purchased Celexa for pediatric use at any time prior to the date of the class certification order, but who do not have a claim for personal injury. Discovery is currently ongoing and a trial date has been set in March 2014. On December 9, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which was argued on January 8, 2014. A decision on this motion is pending. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is less than probable and are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
Forest is currently defending approximately 195 product liability lawsuits. Thirteen of the lawsuits allege that Celexa or Lexapro caused or contributed to individuals committing or attempting suicide. The remainder of the lawsuits allege that Celexa or Lexapro caused various birth defects. Each lawsuit seeks substantial compensatory and punitive damages. The Company is vigorously defending these suits.
F-389
An MDL was established for the majority of the suicidality-related litigation, with the federal court cases being transferred to Judge Rodney Sippel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The MDL has concluded and the remaining twelve cases have been remanded to the federal district courts in which they were filed originally. Several trials involving completed suicides have been scheduled in those federal district courts in 2014 and 2015 and Forest expects more trial dates to be established. A state court case involving a young woman who allegedly attempted suicide is set for trial in February 2014 in Montgomery, Alabama.
The majority of the birth defect cases are consolidated for pretrial purposes in Cole County Circuit Court in Missouri. Two cases are set for trial in Cole County in May 2014 and September 2014. Nineteen cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Fact discovery closes in March 2014. One case is pending in Orange County, California and is set for trial in June 2014. The Company expects that the state court consolidation will ease the burden of defending these cases. The Company believes that the consolidated proceedings will promote the economical and efficient resolution of these lawsuits and provides the Company with a meaningful opportunity to vindicate our products. However, litigation is inherently subject to uncertainty and the Company cannot predict or determine the outcome of this litigation. Forest generally maintains $140 million of product liability coverage (annually, per occurrence on a claims-made basis, and in the aggregate).
In December 2013, the Company was named as a defendant in an action brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd. v. Forest Laboratories, Inc. The complaint alleges that Forest infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,194,000 by making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing Namenda XR. The relief requested includes preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this action. At this time, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is less than probable and are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss, but do not believe losses, if any, would have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position taken as a whole.
In January 2014, Forest and its licensors for Namenda XR, Merz Pharma GmbH & Co. KgaA (Merz) and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Adamas), brought actions for infringement of certain patents in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Wockhardt USA LLC (Wockhardt), Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Sun Pharma Global FZE (Sun), and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. These companies have notified Forest that they have filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Namenda XR before these certain patents expire. Specifically, the lawsuits allege that Wockhardts, Tevas, and Suns ANDA submissions infringe some or all of U.S. Patent No. 5,061,703 (the 703 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,168,209 (the 209 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,173,708 (the 708 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,283,379 (the 379 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,329,752 (the 752 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,362,085 (the 085 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,598,233 (the 233 patent). (The 703 patent expires in April 2015, the 009 patent expires in March 2029, and the 209, 708, 379, 752, 085, and 233 patents expire in November 2025.) This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of the applicable ANDAs that expires no earlier than June 2016 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to the Company, Merz, and Adamas sooner).
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation is subject to many factors which are difficult to predict and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs in the resolution of these matters.
12. Debt:
On December 10, 2013 the Company issued $1.2 billion of 5.00% Senior Notes (the 5.00% Senior Notes), which mature on December 15, 2021. The 5.00% Senior Notes accrue interest per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2014. The Company incurred $18.5 million in deferred financing costs associated with the 5.00% Senior Notes which will be amortized over the term of the
F-390
notes. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $3.5 million of interest expense and $0.1 million of amortization of deferred financing fees related to the 5.00% Senior Notes. The 5.00% Senior Notes have a fair value of $1.2 billion which is based on a market approach using Level 2 inputs.
13. Restructuring initiative:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company announced Project Rejuvenate, a $500 million cost savings initiative with a goal of streamlining operations and reducing the Companys operating cost base. Project Rejuvenate is focused on three areas: flattening and broadening the organization to reduce layers and increase spans of control, increase the Companys productivity and profitability by decreasing costs and streamlining work to reduce low value activities.
The Company expects annualized savings of approximately $270 million associated with the streamlining and realigning the R&D organization, $150 million in savings associated with the reduction of marketing expenses and $80 million in cost savings from a reduction in general and administrative expenses. Forest currently estimates that approximately $110 million of the cost savings will result from a reduction in headcount. The Company expects to achieve 65%-75% of the cost savings from Project Rejuvenate by the end of fiscal 2015 and the remainder by the end of fiscal 2016.
The Company expects the total cost to implement Project Rejuvenate to be in the range of $150 million to $200 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, Forest recorded $45 million in pre-tax restructuring expenses relating to post-employment benefits. These expenses were recorded in R&D expense and SG&A expense, as appropriate.
The liability balance for the cost savings initiative as of December 31, 2013 is as follows:

14. Subsequent events:
Aptalis acquisition
On January 7, 2014, Forest Laboratories, Inc. (FLI), FRX Churchill Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FLI (Holdings), FRX Churchill Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (Merger Sub), and Aptalis Holdings, Inc. (Aptalis), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which the Company would acquire Aptalis for $2.9 billion minus Aptalis existing indebtedness and related fees and costs, minus certain of Aptalis expenses, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options immediately prior to the effective time of the Aptalis Acquisition (the Effective Time) and plus certain cash amounts, all as further described in the Merger Agreement. On January 31, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Aptalis, with Aptalis continuing as the surviving corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the Merger). The Company funded the Merger using $1.2 billion of cash on hand, including $650.0 million in cash from a foreign subsidiary, and the proceeds from the issuance of aggregate principal $1.8 billion of Senior Notes on January 31, 2014.
Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each share of Aptalis common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any dissenting shares and any shares held by
F-391
Aptalis, Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive its pro rata share (the Per Share Merger Consideration), without interest and less applicable income or employment tax withholding, of an aggregate purchase price equal to $2.9 billion, minus Aptalis existing indebtedness and related fees and costs, minus certain of Aptalis expenses, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options immediately prior to the Effective Time and plus certain cash amounts, all as further described in the Merger Agreement.
Aptalis is an international, specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing, manufacturing, licensing and marketing therapies for certain cystic fibrosis- and gastrointestinal -related disorders. Aptalis business focuses on therapeutic areas that are currently underserved by large pharmaceutical companies and are characterized by products used for chronic conditions. Aptalis has manufacturing and commercial operations in the U.S., Europe and Canada, and its products include Zenpep®, Canasa®, Carafate®, Pylera®, Rectiv®, Viokace®, Ultresa®, Lacteol®, Delursan®, Panzytrat® and Salofalk®. Aptalis also formulates and develops enhanced pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products through the use of its proprietary technology platforms.
With this acquisition, the Company gained numerous strategic benefits, including an increased presence both domestically and internationally, expansion of its key therapeutic areas and customer base, a positive impact on its financial condition in the current period and moving forward and an opportunity to realize greater efficiencies in its operations.
The acquisition of Aptalis had no impact on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The preparation of the closing balance sheet for Aptalis is currently underway and the Company will perform valuation procedures to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the closing balance sheet. As such, the information necessary to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not yet available.
$1.8 billion aggregate principal senior unsecured notes
In conjunction with the acquisition of Aptalis, the Company issued a private placement offering of $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes on January 31, 2014 to fund the acquisition. This comprised of $1.05 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2019 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% senior unsecured notes due 2021.

1. Governing Statutes, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Aptalis Holdings Inc. (formerly Axcan Holdings Inc.) is a corporation incorporated on January 10, 2008, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The corporation and its subsidiaries (together, Aptalis) commenced active operations with the purchase, through a wholly owned subsidiary, on February 25, 2008 of all of the outstanding common shares of Axcan Pharma Inc., a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Aptalis provides innovative, effective therapies for unmet medical needs including cystic fibrosis and gastrointestinal disorders. Aptalis has manufacturing and commercial operations in the United States, the European Union and Canada. Aptalis also formulates and clinically develops enhanced pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products for itself and others using its proprietary technology platforms including bioavailability enhancement of poorly soluble drugs, custom release profiles, and taste-masking/orally disintegration tablet (ODT) formulations.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, most notably, Aptalis has reclassified its presentation of fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration payable relating to business combinations from financial expenses to operating expenses within its consolidated statement of operations. These reclassifications did not change net income, total or net assets or cash and were not material.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principle requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, and also affect the recognized amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to the fair value of acquired assets and businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration, the changes recorded in conjunction with ceasing of distributing pancreatic enzyme products, allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, reserves for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and distribution service agreement fees, including those related to U.S. healthcare reform, the classification of intangible assets between finite life and indefinite life, the useful lives of long-lived assets, the expected cash flows used in evaluating long-lived assets, goodwill and investments for impairment, reporting unit fair values in testing goodwill for impairment, stock-based compensation costs, pending legal settlements, the establishment of provisions for income taxes including the realizability of deferred tax assets and restructuring costs. The estimates are made using the historical information and other relevant factors available to management. Aptalis reviews all significant estimates affecting the financial statements on a recurring basis and records the effect of any adjustments when necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon future events, which could include, among other risks, changes in regulations governing the manner in which Aptalis sells its products, changes in the health care environment and regulations, foreign exchange and managed care consumption patterns.
Principles of consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of Aptalis Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the most significant being Aptalis Pharma Canada Inc., Aptalis Pharma U.S. Inc., Aptalis Pharmatech Inc., Aptalis Pharma Srl, Aptalis Pharma Ltd. and Aptalis Pharma S.A. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
F-399
Revenue recognition
Aptalis recognizes revenue from sales of products at the time title of goods passes to the customer and the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, after the product has been delivered to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, the products price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for sales discounts and estimates for chargebacks, managed care and Medicaid rebates, product returns and distribution service agreement fees are recorded as a deduction of product sales revenues at the time such revenues are recognized. These revenue deductions are established by Aptalis at the time of sale, based on historical experience adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact such reserves such as contract changes, volume tiers being met, or changes in actual experience. In certain circumstances, returns of products are allowed under Aptalis policy and provisions are maintained accordingly. These revenue deductions are generally reflected as an addition to accrued liabilities. Amounts received from customers as prepayments for products to be shipped in the future are reported as deferred revenue and classified in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Aptalis presents, on a net basis, taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities; that is, they are excluded from revenues.
Other revenue, which includes revenue from collaborative agreements, consists primarily of payments for research and development services, up-front fees, milestone payments and royalty payments. Aptalis enters into arrangements for the license, research and development, manufacture and/or commercialization/supply of products and product candidates utilizing Aptalis technology platforms. Non-refundable up-front license fees where continuing involvement is required of Aptalis are deferred and recognized in revenue over the related performance period. Aptalis estimates its performance period based on the specific terms of each agreement, and adjusts the performance periods, if appropriate, based on the applicable facts and circumstances. Periodic payments are recognized as revenue over the period and proportionate to the performance of the related activities under the terms of the agreements. Aptalis immediately recognizes the full amount of developmental milestone payments due to it upon the achievement of the milestone event if the event is substantive, objectively determinable, and represents an important point in the development life cycle of the product. Payments for achieving milestones which are not considered substantive are deferred and recognized in revenue over the related performance period. Such payments have not been material in the periods presented.
Royalty revenue from licensees are based on third party sales of licensed products, and recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when third party sales can be reliably measured and collection is reasonably assured.

Business and asset acquisitions
The consolidated financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized.
F-400
Contingent consideration payable for an acquired business, if any, is included as part of the acquisition cost and is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in operating income. Contingent consideration payable in an asset acquisition, if any, is recognized as a charge to operating income in the period incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of U.S. Treasury backed securities, bank deposits, time deposits and money market funds. Cash equivalents are primarily highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts receivable
The majority of Aptalis accounts receivable is due from companies in the pharmaceutical industry including major U.S. wholesalers of pharmaceutical products. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Aptalis determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, Aptalis previous loss history, the customers current ability to pay its obligation to Aptalis and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Aptalis writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to bad debt expense.
Inventory valuation
Inventories of raw materials and packaging material are valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Inventories of work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Cost for work in progress and finished goods include raw materials, direct labor, subcontracts and an allocation for overhead. Allowances are maintained for slow-moving inventories based on the remaining shelf life of products and estimated time required to sell such inventories. Obsolete inventory and rejected products are written-off to cost of goods sold.
Inventory costs associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if Aptalis believes there is probable future commercial use and future economic benefit. If future commercial use and future economic benefit are not considered probable, then costs associated with pre-launch inventory that has not yet received regulatory approval are expensed as research and development expense during the period the costs are incurred. Aptalis could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-approval inventory if the probability of future commercial use and future economic benefit changes due to denial or delay of regulatory approval, a delay in commercialization, or other factors.
Research and development
Research and development (R&D) expenses are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of Aptalis proprietary R&D efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain co-development contracts. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with agreements with third parties (or research and development collaborations) are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval, in the absence of an alternative future use. Payments made to third parties subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. Amounts capitalized for such payments are included in intangible assets.
F-401
In-process research and development
In-process research and development (IPR&D) represents the fair value assigned to incomplete research and development projects acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition which, at the time of acquisition, are determined to have no alternative future use. The fair value of IPR&D projects acquired in a business combination are capitalized as indefinite lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Conversely, the fair value of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition is expensed on acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a finite life are reported at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are generally depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives according to the straight-line method over the following periods:
Buildings |
10 to 36 years | |||
Machinery, equipment and office furnishings |
3 to 10 years | |||
Automotive equipment |
2 to 5 years | |||
Computer equipment and software |
1 to 7 years | |||
Leasehold improvements |
3 to 10 years | |||
Trademarks, trademark licenses, manufacturing rights and other |
5 to 20 years |
Impairment of long lived-assets and goodwill
The value of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are subject to an annual impairment test. Indefinite-life intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment more often, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable.
The intangible assets with a finite life and property, plant and equipment are subject to an impairment test whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Aptalis compares the carrying value of the unamortized portion of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a finite life to estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment exists. An impairment loss measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows, is recorded in earnings and the cost basis is adjusted.
Aptalis tests goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level by first assessing a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for Aptalis products, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and overall financial performance. If after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, Aptalis proceeds to a two-step impairment testing process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit may be based on one or more fair value measures including present value technique of estimated future cash flows and estimated amounts at which the unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, step two requires the fair value of the reporting unit to be allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, resulting in an implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill of the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded in earnings.
F-402
In the fiscal fourth quarter, Aptalis conducted a qualitative assessment for its annual goodwill impairment test for the year ended September 30, 2013, noting no impairment. As further disclosed in Note 12, Aptalis impaired its Rectiv and Lamictal intangible assets in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
Income taxes
Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized to account for the estimated taxes that will result from the recovery or settlement of assets and liabilities recorded at their financial statement carrying amounts. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured based on enacted tax rates and laws at the date of the financial statements for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Adjustments to the deferred income tax asset and liability balances are recognized in net income as they occur.
Aptalis conducts business in various countries throughout the world and is subject to tax in numerous jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, Aptalis files a significant number of tax returns that are subject to examination by various federal, state and local tax authorities. Tax examinations are often complex as tax authorities may disagree with the treatment of items reported by Aptalis and this may require several years to resolve.
Selling and administrative expenses
Selling and administrative expenses include shipping and handling expenses, other than distribution service agreement fees, costs of marketing, advertising, information technology and the associated employee compensation. Distribution service agreement fees are deducted from revenue. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Restructuring costs
Aptalis incurs restructuring charges in connection with acquisitions when it implements plans to restructure and integrate the acquired operations or in connection with cost-reduction initiatives that are initiated from time to time. Termination costs are a significant component of restructuring costs and are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period.
Foreign currency translation
Aptalis has operations in the United States of America, Canada and some European Union countries, the most significant of which are France, Italy and Ireland. For foreign subsidiaries where the local currencies have been determined to be the functional currency, the net assets of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries are deferred in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments account reported as a component of Other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
Deferred debt issue expenses
Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and included in deferred debt issue expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are presented net of amortization. These financing costs are being expensed over the terms of the respective debt using the effective interest method and included in financial expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
F-403
Fair value measurements
As summarized on Note 20, Fair Value Measurements, Aptalis recognizes and measures certain financial costs and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Aptalis has not used any level 1 measurement to prepare these financial statements.
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 2 derivative instruments are valued using an Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) discount curve, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) forward curve and volatility surface.
Level 3Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Aptalis uses level 3 measurements, which consist primarily of present value probability weighted cash flow projections and other relevant valuation techniques.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and financial liabilities fall within the different levels described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities
Aptalis formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items contemporaneously, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
Aptalis records all derivatives on the balance sheets at fair value. Derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities, depending on its rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivatives, whether Aptalis has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. Aptalis may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or it elects not to apply hedge accounting.
Aptalis has designated its interest rate swaps and interest rate cap as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (Note 19). On an ongoing basis, Aptalis assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings.
F-404
Stock incentive plans
Aptalis recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors for their services on the Board of Directors based on the estimated fair value of each stock option on the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for service-based options and the Monte Carlo simulation model for performance based options. The grant date fair value of awards subject to service-based vesting, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective awards. All stock-based awards are approved by the Board of Directors prior to the grant.
Net income per share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and restricted stock units granted under Aptalis stock compensation plans were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a clarification regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit related to a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. Under this new standard, the liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset if available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. Otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a separate liability. The assessment is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Aptalis is still determining the impact of this standard on the presentation of both Aptalis deferred tax assets and income taxes payable.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In addition, the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges is removed. The provisions of this guidance are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on foreign currency matters on parents accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This amendment clarifies the timing of release of currency translation adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income upon deconsolidation or derecognition of a foreign entity, subsidiary or a group of assets within a foreign entity and in step acquisitions. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of those obligations. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
F-405
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income and requires an entity to present, either on the face of the financial statement or in the notes, the effects of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income and to cross-reference to other required disclosures, where applicable. These disclosure requirements are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will require enhanced disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that limits the scope of existing disclosure requirements about offsetting assets and liabilities to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities borrowings and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of this guidance will require enhanced disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired, entities must perform the quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test is optional. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on Aptalis consolidated financial statements.
4. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Rectiv
On December 28, 2011 (or the Rectiv Acquisition Date), Aptalis entered into a license agreement with Strakan International S.A.R.L. and Prostrakan Inc. (collectively ProStrakan) to acquire the exclusive rights and related business and supply agreement to commercialize Rectiv (nitroglycerin) Ointment 0.4% (Rectiv) in the U.S (the Rectiv Transaction). In addition, Aptalis and ProStrakan have the right to undertake development work with respect to Rectiv. Rectiv received FDA approval in June 2011 and is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe pain associated with chronic anal fissure. On January 10, 2012, Aptalis made an upfront payment to ProStrakan of $20,000,000 as well as an additional milestone payment of $20,000,000 paid in December 2012. Aptalis is required to pay a series of potential milestones up to $40,000,000 upon the achievement of certain sales milestones and double-digit royalties on net sales of Rectiv. The next milestone payment of $5,000,000 is payable upon the achievement of $25,000,000 of sales in any calendar year. Aptalis has also entered into a separate supply agreement with ProStrakan and has the ability to change its source of supply of the product in the future. Aptalis began shipping Rectiv during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
The Rectiv Transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the consideration payable was determined to be $139,200,000 as of the acquisition date comprising of non-contingent milestones of $38,878,000 and contingent milestones and royalty payments of $100,322,000. The current and long-term portions of consideration payable were determined to be $43,478,000 and $95,722,000 respectively and are reflected within accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities respectively. The total fair value of the consideration transferred was assigned to trademark license intangible asset valued at $139,200,000. The trademark license intangible asset was assigned an estimated useful life of approximately eight years and is amortized on a straight-line basis.
Aptalis determined the Rectiv Acquisition Date fair value of the contingent consideration based on a probability weighted income approach. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. These inputs include the estimated amount and timing of projected cash payments, the probability of the achievement of future milestone
F-406
events, the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows, revenue estimates and other factors. These inputs are significant assumptions and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various milestone criteria. A 1% change in the discount rate, assuming all other assumptions remain consistent, would result in a change of $1,100,000 to the contingent consideration obligation. A 10% change in the projected cash flows, assuming all other assumptions remain consistent, would result in a change of $4,700,000 to the contingent consideration obligation.
On a quarterly basis at each reporting date, the contingent consideration liability is measured at fair value with changes recorded in operating income. Due to the continuing effects of Rectiv sales having performed below expectations, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis revisited its long-term projection assumptions used in its assessment of the carrying value of its intangible asset and its contingent consideration liability relating to Rectiv. These changes to long-term projection assumptions were made as a result of ongoing competition from compounding pharmacies as well as the issue surrounding the introduction of the Compounding Quality Act (CQA), which was introduced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and was signed into law on November 27, 2013. As a result of this analysis, Aptalis recorded an impairment charge of $65,250,000 relating to its Rectiv intangible assets, which is further described in Note 12. Aptalis also recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration which reduced the liability by $74,707,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. These two offsetting adjustments along with accretion expense described below were recorded as fair value adjustments to intangible assets and contingent consideration within Aptalis consolidated statement of operations.
As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $29,594,000. Aptalis recorded an accretion expense of $13,000,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, total consideration payable was $29,594,000 of which $25,764,000 was included in other long- term liabilities and $3,830,000 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Aptalis shipped Rectiv to wholesalers and began detailing this product to physicians. Because of the inherent difficulties in estimating returns for product launches of product in new indications, as well as the potential impact of retroactive rebate adjustments during the launch phase, Aptalis had recognized revenue for Rectiv based upon prescription pull- through. Effective May 2013, Aptalis discontinued deferring revenue and started to recognize revenue for Rectiv when the product is delivered to the customer. This change in revenue recognition methodology resulted in the recognition of $1,517,000 of deferred revenue being recognized into earnings in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
5. Restructuring and Integration
Acquisition related cost-rationalization and integration initiatives
Aptalis has initiated restructuring measures in conjunction with the integration of the operations of Eurand as well as within its ongoing legacy operations. These measures are intended to capture synergies and generate cost savings across Aptalis.
Restructuring actions taken thus far include workforce reductions across Aptalis and other organizational changes. These reductions come primarily from the elimination of redundancies and consolidation of staff in the sales and marketing, manufacturing, research and development, and general and administrative functions, as well as from the closure of Eurands manufacturing facility in Nogent-Oise, France.
Aptalis recorded a restructuring expense of $1,925,000 during the year ended September 30, 2013 related to planned employee termination costs included in Transaction, restructuring and integration on the consolidated statements of operations. Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are communicated, probable and estimable, and include accrued severance benefits and health insurance continuation, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination.
F-407

Aptalis has incurred integration costs of $573,000 during the year ended September 30, 2013 representing certain external incremental costs directly related to integrating the Eurand business and primarily include expenditures for consulting and systems integration. Aptalis has completed phase 1 of its initiative to optimize its enterprise resource planning systems across the organization in fiscal year 2012 and Aptalis launched phase 2 during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and this initiative is ongoing. Restructuring and integration costs are included in Transaction, restructuring and integration costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
6. Acquisitions, Research Collaborations and License Agreements
Agreements with Mpex Pharmaceuticals Inc. for acquisition and development of APT-1026
On April 11, 2011, Aptalis and its affiliate, Axcan Lone Star Inc., entered into a series of agreements with Mpex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Mpex) for the acquisition and development of APT-1026 (the Mpex Transaction), a proprietary aerosol formulation of levofloxacin, which recently completed Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Subsequently on August 31, 2011, under the terms of these agreements, Aptalis and Aptalis Merger Sub acquired all of Mpexs assets related to APT-1026 in a merger of Mpex with and into Aptalis Merger Sub, with Mpex being the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary of Aptalis. Prior to the merger, Mpex transferred all of its assets not related to APT-1026 to Rempex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Rempex), a newly formed company that is owned primarily by the previous Mpex stockholders. Total consideration in relation to the Mpex Transaction consists of (i) time-based, non-contingent payments amounting to $62,500,000 to be paid in a number of installments, of which $37,500,000 has been paid to date, plus (ii) contingent payments of up to $195,000,000 upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, such as, acceptance for substantive review of an NDA or foreign equivalent, EU approval or U.S. approval and certain net sales milestones and (iii) earn-out payments based on net sales of APT-1026. Indemnity obligations of the Mpex security holders will be satisfied by set-off against a portion of the foregoing merger consideration payments. The final installments on the time-based non-contingent payments of $25,000,000 are due in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. On November 1, 2013, Aptalis paid $15,000,000 of these remaining installments. Also, in November 2013, Aptalis filed a Marketing Authorization Application with the EMA. Upon acceptance for substantive review, a development milestone of $10,000,000 would be due within 10 days of acceptance. The Mpex transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as Mpex did not entail the necessary processes or outputs to qualify as a business as defined in GAAP. Aptalis reached the conclusion that Mpex was an asset acquisition because it obtained the rights to access inputs through its co- development of pre-clinical intellectual property and did not employ Rempexs scientists. Aptalis did not acquire processes that are capable of producing outputs given the intellectual property was early-stage. Given that the intellectual property acquired was still in development, it requires significant development effort by Aptalis and the scientists retained by the seller in order to produce outputs. Additionally, any substantive decisions related to APT-1026 required the approval of the development steering committee, which had equal representation from Aptalis and Rempex.
The further development of APT-1026 was conducted pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement dated April 11, 2011, which was subsequently amended on October 25, 2013 among Aptalis, Aptalis Merger Sub
F-408
and Mpex. Since the completion of the divestiture of assets and liabilities unrelated to APT-1026 (the Divestiture) to Rempex, Rempex has assumed all of Mpexs obligations under the Development Agreement. Under the Development Agreement, Mpex (and after the Divestiture, Rempex) has been paid for the actual development costs of APT-1026 and has had primary responsibility for conducting day-to-day development activities. During the year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis expensed $11,955,000 in research and development related to the development of APT-1026. As of September 30, 2013, $24,540,000 representing the amount accrued for the non-contingent payments payable under the Option and Merger agreements, is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis made milestone payments of $12,000,000 related to this liability.
On July 18, 2012, Aptalis received preliminary data on the placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial for U.S. approval for APT-1026. Aptalis initial analysis of this data showed that the clinical trial did not meet its primary endpoint, time to exacerbation, while it demonstrated efficacy in key secondary endpoints. Aptalis recently completed its second active controlled phase III clinical trials for EU approval where APT-1026 was compared to tobramycin. In this trial, the primary endpoint, non-inferiority versus tobramycin in lung function, was met and efficacy in key secondary endpoints was also demonstrated. Aptalis has determined to take the next steps toward a regulatory filing for APT-1026 in the EU. On Friday, November 29, 2013, Aptalis filed the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in Europe, via the Centralized procedure, for APT-1026 (APT-1026, levofloxacin 240 mg Nebulizer Solution), a new formulation of levofloxacin for inhalation for the long-term management of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis.
7. Disposal of the PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR Product line
On March 28, 2011, Aptalis entered into a definitive agreement with Pinnacle Biologics, Inc., which acquired all global assets and rights related to PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR, including inventory, for non-contingent payments amounting to $4,252,000. In addition to the non-contingent payments, additional payments shall be made to Aptalis after the achievement of certain milestones events. Aptalis will also be paid royalties on annual net sales of PHOTOFRIN/ PHOTOBARR. Consideration for additional contingent payments to be made to Aptalis shall be recorded as a gain in the period in which they are received. Aptalis received milestone payments of $1,000,000 during the year ended September 30, 2013 and recorded a gain.

On September 30, 2013, Aptalis has elected under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to recharacterize foreign taxes previously deducted as foreign tax credit carry forwards. The net adjustment resulting from the changes to the net operating loss carry forward deferred tax assets and the foreign tax credit carry forward deferred tax assets is presented in the effective rate reconciliation above.
As of September 30, 2013, Aptalis had approximately $287,000,000 of unremitted earnings in respect to its international subsidiaries. As a result of the distribution made to the shareholders in October 2013, cash was repatriated from certain of Aptalis foreign subsidiaries. Aptalis commenced the associated income tax planning and other efforts prior to the end of fiscal year 2013 and as such, Aptalis can no longer assert the permanent reinvestment of earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. A deferred income tax liability amounting to $ 101,000,000 on the outside basis of a subsidiary that was not recorded as of June 2013 has been recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The recognition of such deferred income liability allowed Aptalis to decrease its valuation allowance for the same amount in the US. The repatriation of earnings that was done in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 will reduce the United States net operating losses and tax credits available by an equivalent amount. While deferred income tax assets will offset this deferred income tax liability, the allocation of the valuation allowance on a pro rata basis resulted in the presentation of current deferred income tax liability and non-current deferred income tax assets of $52,895,000. As of September 30, 2013, the outside tax basis of certain of Aptalis foreign subsidiaries exceeded the GAAP basis and, therefore, deferred income tax assets have not been recorded given that the amounts are not projected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and non-current deferred income tax assets and liabilities within the same jurisdiction are generally offset for presentation in the Consolidated Balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2013, Aptalis had tax benefit carryovers of $122,269,000 relating to operating losses and capital losses and $129,182,000 relating to tax credits which are available to reduce future U.S. federal and state, as well as international, income taxes payable with either an indefinite life in Italy and France or expiring at various times in the United States between 2016 and 2032. Certain of Aptalis U.S. net operating losses are subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
As of September 30, 2013, net operating losses in the U.S. at the federal level amounted to $236,021,000 that will expire at various date between 2016 and 2032, of which $90,101,000 are restricted under IRC 382. As of September 30, 2013, Aptalis had tax benefits amounting to $129,250,000 relating to tax credits which are available to reduce future U.S. federal income taxes payable which expire at various times between 2016 and 2033. The amount of tax credits restricted under IRC 382 is $9,995,721.
F-412
A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is established when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, Aptalis has determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to substantially all of the U.S. and French cumulative gross net operating loss carry forwards, and certain other deferred assets, would not be realized. The recording of the deferred tax liability related to the outside basis difference for U.S. tax purposes resulted in a reversal of valuation allowance amounting to $101,000,000 in the year ended September 30, 2013. Such release was partially offset by an incremental valuation allowance required on the U.S. foreign tax credits established on September 30, 2013, as a result of Aptalis election to recharacterize certain foreign taxes which had previously been deducted and included in net operating loss carryforwards. The total reduction in valuation allowance on a worldwide basis amounted to $36,900,000.
As at September 30, 2013, Aptalis had a total valuation allowance of $187,812,000. The jurisdictions in which Aptalis recorded valuation allowances are the United States for $162,362,000, France for $23,820,000, Canada for $1,016,000 and Italy for $614,000.
In future periods, if the deferred tax assets are determined by management to be more likely than not to be realized, the recognized tax benefits relating to the reversal of the valuation allowance will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. If recognized, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $5,939,000 as at September 30, 2013, would affect Aptalis effective tax rate. Aptalis believes that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

Aptalis has historically recognized interest relating to income tax matters as a component of financial expenses and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013, Aptalis had accrued $1,446,000 for interest relating to income tax matters. There were no amounts recorded for penalties as of September 30, 2013.
Aptalis and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, local and foreign jurisdictions including Canada and France. In many cases, Aptalis uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. Aptalis is subject to federal and state income tax examination by U.S. tax authorities for fiscal years 2006 through 2013. Aptalis is subject to Canadian and provincial income tax examination for fiscal years 2009 through 2013. There are numerous other income jurisdictions for which tax returns are not yet settled, none of which is individually significant.

During the year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis management revised its estimate of the remaining useful life of Canasa intangible assets as a result of certain regulatory events and litigation more thoroughly described in Note 22. This resulted in increased amortization of approximately $1,662,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. This change in estimated useful life will increase annual amortization by approximately $5,000,000 over the remaining useful life.
As disclosed in Note 4, a trademark license intangible asset of $139,200,000 resulting from the Rectiv Transaction was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Due to the continuing effects of Rectiv sales having performed below expectations, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis revisited its long-term projection assumptions used in its assessment of the carrying value of its intangible asset and its contingent consideration liability relating to Rectiv. These changes to long-term projection assumptions were made as a result of ongoing competition from compounding pharmacies as well as the issue surrounding the introduction of the Compounding Quality Act (CQA), which was introduced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and was signed into law on November 27, 2013. As a result of this analysis, Aptalis recorded an impairment charge of $65,250,000 relating to its Rectiv intangible assets. Aptalis also recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration which reduced the liability by $74,707,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. These two offsetting adjustments along with accretion expense described in Note 4 were recorded as fair value adjustments to intangible assets and contingent consideration within Aptalis consolidated statement of operations. As a result of this impairment charge, Aptalis has assigned a new cost base of $43,500,000 for its Rectiv intangible assets as of September 30, 2013.
Similarly, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, Actavis Inc. announced that it had received an approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Lamotrigine Orally Disintegrating Tablets, a generic equivalent to Lamictal(R) ODT, which Aptalis manufacture for GlaxoSmithKline. As a result of this approval, Management revised its forecasts and determined that Aptalis intangible assets recorded in the Eurand transaction related to Aptalis supply agreement for Lamictal were impaired. As a result, Aptalis recorded an impairment charge of $6,458,000 related to Aptalis Lamictal supply agreement intangible asset.
As of September 30, 2013, the intangible assets with a finite life have a weighted average remaining amortization period of approximately 12 years.
The annual amortization expenses, without taking into account any future acquisitions expected, are as follows:

Senior secured term loans of $926,375 as at September 30, 2013, bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at Aptalis option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and(c) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% or (2) LIBOR determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margins for borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility are 3.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 4.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. In addition, the LIBOR and base rate for borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility are subject to a floor of 150 basis points and 250 basis points, respectively, secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of Aptalis, payable in quarterly installments, maturing in February 2017, subject to interest rate swap and cap agreements as further disclosed in Note 19 |

Aptalis Amended Credit Facilities totaling $1,097,000,000 is comprised of Term B-1 Loans amounting to $750,000,000, Term B2- Loans amounting to $200,000,000 and a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility totaling $147,000,000. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is comprised of $115,000,000 of existing revolving credit commitments that were extended or issued (the Extended Commitments) and $32,000,000 of
F-416
existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended (the Unextended Commitments) pursuant to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facilities bear interest at a variable rate available composed of either the Federal Funds Rate or the British Banker Association LIBOR, at the option of Aptalis, plus the applicable rate based on the consolidated total leverage ratio of Aptalis and certain of its subsidiaries for the preceding twelve months. The principal amount of the Term B-1 loans and Term B-2 loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount with payments beginning in fiscal year 2012. The principal amount outstanding of the Term B-1 loans and Term B-2 loans will be due and payable on February 11, 2017. The principal amount of outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Revolving Facility will be due and payable on February 11, 2016 with respect to Extended Commitments and on February 25, 2014 with respect to Unextended Commitments. As at September 30, 2013, $950,000,000 of term loans comprised of Term B-1 Loans amounting to $750,000,000 and Term B2- Loans amounting to $200,000,000 had been issued of which $926,375,000 remains outstanding. No amounts had been drawn during the year against the revolving credit facility. The term loans were priced at $0.995 and $0.980 respectively, with yields to maturity of 5.6% and 6.0% respectively, before the effect of interest rate hedging transactions as disclosed in Note 19.
On October 4, 2013, Aptalis completed a refinancing of the term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Facilities further described in Note 24. As a result of the refinancing, Aptalis is not required to make prepayments in the year ended September 30, 2013.

15. Stock Incentive Plans
Management equity incentive plan
In April 2008, Aptalis adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the MEIP), pursuant to which options are granted to select employees and directors of Aptalis. The MEIP provides that a maximum of 3,833,307 common shares of Aptalis are issuable pursuant to the exercise of options. The per share purchase price cannot be less than the fair value of the common share of Aptalis at the grant date and the option expires no later than ten years from the date of grant. Vesting of these stock options is split into three categories: (1) time-based options: 50% of option grants generally vest ratably over five years and feature a fixed exercise price equal to the fair value of common shares of Aptalis on grant date; (2) premium options: 25% of stock option grants with an exercise price initially equal to the fair value of common shares on grant date that will increase by 10% each year and generally vesting ratably over five years; and (3) performance-based options: 25% of stock option grants with a fixed exercise price equal to the fair value of common shares on grant date which vest upon the occurrence of a liquidity event (as defined under the terms of the MEIP) based on the achievement of return targets calculated based on the return received by majority shareholders from the liquidity event. While the time-based options and the premium options are expensed over the requisite service period, the performance-based options will not be expensed until the occurrence of the liquidity event. The MEIP was amended and restated effective February 11, 2011 primarily to reflect an increase to a maximum of 5,033,507 common shares of Aptalis issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and to change the required return targets that need to be achieved for vesting performance-based options issued under the amended and restated plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model for the service-based options and the Monte Carlo simulation model for the performance-based options. The expected life of options is based on the weighted contractual life based on the probability of change in control or a liquidity event. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility peer companies. The risk free interest rate is based on the average rate of return on U.S. Government Strips with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield reflects that Aptalis has not paid any cash dividends since inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Special equity grant
In April 2008, Aptalis approved the Restricted Stock Unit grant agreement and the penny option grant agreement (collectively Equity Grant Agreements) pursuant to which a one-time grant of equity-based awards of either restricted stock units (RSUs) or options to purchase shares of common stock of Aptalis for a penny (Penny Options) was made to certain employees of Aptalis. A maximum of 1,343,348 shares of common stock of Aptalis are issuable with respect to the special grants. As a result of the option to allow the recipients to elect to have an amount withheld that is in excess of the required minimum withholding under the current tax law, the special grants will be accounted for as liability awards. As a liability award, the fair value on which the expense is based is remeasured each period based on the estimated fair value and the final expense will be based on the fair value of the shares on the date the award is settled. Such final expense is reclassified to additional paid-in capital six months after the settlement of awards on the lapse of the aforementioned option allowed to the recipients. The RSUs and Penny Options expire no later than four years and ten years respectively from the date of grant. One third of the granted RSUs and Penny Options vested immediately on date of grant; one third vested on August 25, 2009, and the remainder vested on August 25, 2010.
The carrying value of an RSU or Penny Option is always equal to the estimated fair value of one common share of Aptalis. The RSUs and Penny Options entitle the holders to receive common shares of Aptalis at the end of a vesting period. The total number of RSUs and Penny Options granted was 1,343,348 with an initial fair value of $10, equal to the share price at the date of grant. As at September 30, 2013, there were 240,842 RSUs and Penny Options outstanding, all of which were vested.
Aptalis recorded share-based compensation expense of $2,847,000 relative to the MEIP and the Special Equity Grant for the year ended September 30, 2013, with related income tax benefits excluding the impact of valuation allowance of $299,000. The amount of expense has been reduced to take into account estimated forfeitures. As of September 30, 2013, there was $2,587,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to MEIP Grant based on the recorded fair value. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.5 years. As of September 30, 2013, there was $3,755,000 of compensation expense related to the performance based options that will be recognized upon the occurrence of a liquidity event.
Annual grant
In June 2008, Aptalis adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP), whereby it is expected to grant annual awards to certain employees of Aptalis (the participants). The number of awards is initially based on the participants job level and base salary and is subsequently adjusted based on the outcome of certain financial performance conditions relating to the fiscal year. Each award that vests is ultimately settleable at the option of the participant in cash or in common shares of equivalent value. The awards vest (i) upon the occurrence of a liquidity event (as defined under the terms of the LTIP) and (ii) in varying percentages based on the level of return realized by majority shareholders as a result of the liquidity event.
The awards granted under this LTIP are eventually to be classified as liabilities in accordance with the FASB issued guidance on distinguishing liabilities from equity, since the award is for a fixed amount of value that can be settled at the option of the participant in (i) cash, or (ii) a variable number of common shares of equivalent value.
F-419
Aptalis will not recognize any compensation expense until such time as the occurrence of a liquidity event generating sufficient return to the majority shareholders (in order for the award to vest) is probable. If such an event were probable as of September 30, 2013, the value of the awards to be expensed by Aptalis would range between $11,318,000 and $13,582,000 depending on the level of return expected to be realized by the majority shareholders.

18. Financial Instruments
Interest rate risk
Aptalis is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable interest-bearing term loans. The term loans bear interest based on British Banker Association LIBOR. As further disclosed in Note 19, Aptalis may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and reduce its overall cost of borrowing.
Currency risk
Aptalis is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of the rates. Aptalis has used derivative instruments historically to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. As at September 30, 2013, no foreign exchange contracts were outstanding. As at September 30, 2013, the financial assets totaling $316,137,000 include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable for 4,738,000 Canadian dollars, 14,379,000 euros and 1,084,000 Swiss francs respectively. As at September 30, 2013, the financial liabilities totaling $1,110,240,000 include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt of 6,828,000 Canadian dollars, 21,119,000 euros and 1,000 Swiss francs respectively.
Credit risk
Generally, the carrying amount of Aptalis financial assets exposed to credit risk, net of applicable provisions for losses, represents the maximum amount of exposure to credit risk. As at September 30, 2013, Aptalis financial assets exposed to credit risk are composed primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
As at September 30, 2013, Aptalis has approximately 85.2% of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. At times, such deposits may exceed the amount insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
F-422
Fair value of financial instruments held at carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet

The following methods and assumptions were used to calculate the estimated fair value of the financial instruments that are held at carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet:
a) Financial instruments for which fair value approximates carrying amount
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments shown on the consolidated balance sheet approximates their carrying amount. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
b) Long-term debt
The fair value of the variable interest-bearing term loan has been established based on broker-dealer quotes and represents a Level 2 input for 2013.
19. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk management objective of using derivatives
Aptalis is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Aptalis principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Aptalis manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, currency and credit risks primarily by managing the amount, sources, conditions and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Aptalis enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates. Aptalis derivative financial instruments, if any, are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Aptalis known or expected cash payments principally related to Aptalis borrowings.
Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk
Aptalis objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Aptalis primarily uses interest rate swaps and/or caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. While Aptalis seeks to mitigate interest rate risk by entering into hedging arrangements with counterparties that are large financial institutions that Aptalis deems to be creditworthy, it is possible that the hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect earnings. Furthermore, if Aptalis terminates a hedging arrangement, it may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Aptalis making fixed-rate payments over the life of
F-423
the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges protect Aptalis from increases in interest rates above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of the existing variable-rate debt.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Aptalis has an option to change the interest period on its LIBOR borrowings and selected the 1 month interest period in June 2013. This created a basis mismatch with Aptalis hedged transaction and resulted in an insignificant hedge ineffectiveness recorded in earnings during the year ended September 30, 2013. Aptalis has selected the 3 month interest period in September 2013.
As at September 30, 2013, Aptalis had two interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined current notional amount of $388,000,000 and one interest rate cap outstanding with a notional amount of $100,000,000 and were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk on LIBOR-based debt and are further described below. The weighted average fixed interest rate on the swaps is 2.83%.
On April 4, 2011, Aptalis entered into two separate pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of June 30, 2011 which convert a portion of the variable rate debt under its Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facilities to fixed rate debt. The first swap has a notional amount of $331,000,000, amortizing to $84,000,000 by its maturity in December 2015. At September 30, 2013, the notional amount of the first swap was $169,000,000. The second swap has a notional amount of $219,000,000 and matures in December 2016. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The interest rate swaps will fix Aptalis interest payments on the hedged debt at 2.386% for the first swap and 3.18% for the second swap, inclusive of a LIBOR floor of 1.5%, plus the appropriate margin on each debt interest period which is currently 4%. On June 25, 2013, Aptalis re-designated its interest rate swaps in order to expand the definition of the hedged transactions as part of its overall risk management strategy.
On June 27, 2012, Aptalis entered in an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of September 30, 2012 which protects Aptalis from increases in the cash flows on its variable rate debt under its Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facilities attributable to changes in LIBOR above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap has a notional amount of $100,000,000 and matures in September 2016. The interest rate cap is designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk and limits Aptalis interest payments on the hedged debt at 1.5%, plus the appropriate margin on each debt interest period which is currently 4%. On July 8, 2013, Aptalis re-designated its interest rate cap in order to expand the definition of the hedged transactions as part of its overall risk management strategy.
Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Aptalis variable-rate debt. Aptalis estimates that $5,133,000 presently classified in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months.

Aptalis considers the impact of its and its counterparties credit risk on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. At September 30, 2013, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of Aptalis derivative financial instruments.
Aptalis has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby Aptalis could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to Aptalis default on the indebtedness. If Aptalis had breached this provision, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, including accrued interest and excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements of $12,732,000.
On November 8, 2013, Aptalis terminated its existing interest rate swap and cap agreements and entered into two new interest rate cap agreements. This transaction is further described in Note 24.

(1) | Long-term debt is measured at amortized cost and shown in the table above at Fair Value. |
Derivative financial instruments represent interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements as more fully described in Note 19 and are measured at fair value based on market observable interest rate curves as of the measurement date.
The contingent consideration obligations are related to the Rectiv Transaction and the fair value measurement is determined using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on Aptalis assumptions. Significant unobservable inputs include the projected revenue estimates and the risk adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability weighted cash flows. Generally, a change in the discount rate assumption would result in a directionally opposite change in the contingent consideration obligation. The discount rate used in the fair value measurement is in the range of 7%-13% depending on the type of contingent payment. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in Aptalis consolidated statement of operations and included in operating income. Aptalis continues to monitor performance of Rectiv and may make adjustments to its valuation models in future periods. Given the sensitivity of the valuation in relation to changes in the above noted assumptions, such changes, if required, could have a material impact on Aptalis financial statements. As further described in Note 4, as a result of triggering events during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis revisited its long-term projection assumptions used in its assessment of the contingent consideration obligations related to the Rectiv Transaction and recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration which reduced the liability by $74,707,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013 in fair value adjustments to intangible assets and contingent consideration in its statement of operations.
The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended September 30, 2013:

c) Royalties
Aptalis pays royalties on the sales of certain of its marketed products to unrelated third parties and technologies under license and similar agreements. The royalties charged to cost of goods sold for the year ended September 30, 2013 were not material.
F-427
d) Contingencies
Aptalis and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation matters arising in the ordinary course and conduct of its business.
In May 2009, Aptalis entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD, to remain eligible for inclusion on the DODs formulary and pursuant to which Aptalis agreed to pay rebates under the TRICARE retail pharmacy program. Aptalis began accounting for these rebates in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. Under its contracting process, the DOD is further seeking rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers on all prescriptions of covered prescription drugs filled under TRICARE from January 28, 2008, forward, unless DOD agrees to a waiver or compromise of amounts due. On November 30, 2009, in litigation initiated by third parties seeking to have the DODs ability to seek retroactive rebates invalidated, the Court affirmed DODs position that it is entitled to retroactive refunds on prescriptions filled on or after January 28, 2008. In October 2010, the DOD affirmed its former rulemaking which was the subject of litigation and its intention to seek to collect rebates for periods prior to the contract date. Aptalis estimated that its exposure to the retroactive rebates claimed by the DOD would not be material and recorded an accrual in fiscal year 2010. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, Aptalis settled the matter and paid the rebates claimed at an amount substantially equivalent to its initial accrual.
e) Litigation
In October 2008, Eurand and Cephalon (which exclusively licenses certain patents from Eurand) received Paragraph IV certification letters relating to ANDAs submitted to the FDA by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Mylan, and Barr Laboratories, Inc., or Barr, each requesting approval to market and sell a generic version of the 15 mg and 30 mg strengths of extended-release cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (AMRIX). In November 2008, Eurand received a similar certification letter from Impax Laboratories, Inc., or Impax. In May 2009, Eurand received a similar certification letter from Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Anchen. Mylan, Impax, and Anchen alleged that U.S. Patent Number 7,387,793, or the 793 Patent, entitled Modified Release Dosage Forms of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants, issued to Eurand, will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the product described in the applicable ANDA and reserved the right to challenge the validity and/or enforceability of the 793 Patent. Barr alleged that the 793 Patent is invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by its manufacture, use or sale of the product described in its ANDA. In late November 2008, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon, in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Mylan (and its parent) and Barr (and its parent) for infringement of the 793 Patent. In January 2009, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Impax for infringement of the 793 Patent. In July 2009, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Anchen (and its parent) for infringement of the 793 Patent. Subsequently, in response to additional Paragraph IV certification letters regarding U.S. Patent Number 7,544,372, or the 372 Patent, entitled Modified Release Dosage Forms of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants Eurand and Cephalon also filed lawsuits against Mylan, Barr, and Anchen for the infringement of the 372 Patent. All cases were consolidated in one action in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, and were tried in a bench trial in September-October 2010.
On October 7, 2010, both Eurand and Anesta AG, or Anesta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cephalon, reached an agreement to settle the pending patent infringement litigation over AMRIX with Impax. Under terms of the settlement, both Eurand and Anesta will grant to Impax a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to market and sell a generic version of AMRIX in the United States beginning one year prior to expiration of the 793 Patent, which is expected to expire in February 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances.
On May 12, 2011, the U.S. District Court in Delaware rendered a decision against Eurand and Cephalon. On May 13, 2011, Mylan launched its product. Eurand and Cephalon appealed the District Courts finding of obviousness to the Federal Circuit, and on May 24, 2011, the District Court issued an injunction order enjoining Mylan from selling any additional products pending the Federal Circuits decision. On April 16, 2012, the
F-428
Federal Circuit reversed and vacated the judgment of invalidity by the U.S. District Court in Delaware in the patent infringement lawsuit by Eurand and Cephalon. Mylan filed a petition for rehearing en banc and on July 25, 2012, the petition was denied. Subsequently Mylan filed a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court on October 23, 2012 and on January 14, 2013, the petition was denied. The case was remanded to the District Court for consideration of the issue of damages. The trial on the issue of damages is scheduled to commence on September 2, 2014.
Aptalis is involved (and expects to continue to be involved from time to time) in patent litigation relating to ANDAs filed by potential competitors seeking to market generic versions of Aptalis products. For example, in July 2013, in response to notice letters regarding the filings of ANDAs by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Inc. (collectively, Mylan), as well as Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz), seeking approval to market a generic version of Canasa, Aptalis filed patent infringement lawsuits alleging infringement of certain of its patents and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief. Mylan filed its Answer and Counterclaims in August 2013 and Sandoz filed its Answer and Counterclaims in September 2013, in each case contending that Aptalis patents are invalid or not infringed. Aptalis believes the ANDAs were filed before the patents covering Canasa were listed in the Orange Book, which generally means that Aptalis is not entitled to the 30-month stay of the approval of these ANDAs provided for by Hatch-Waxman. While Aptalis intends to vigorously defend these and other patents and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the pending or any future litigation will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of one or more of its products will not be approved and enter the market. An adverse outcome in such patent litigation could materially and adversely affect Aptalis revenues.

24. Subsequent Events
On October 4, 2013, Aptalis and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries completed a refinancing consisting of the (i) repayment of all outstanding indebtedness under preexisting senior secured credit facilities, (ii) termination of preexisting senior secured credit facilities and (iii) execution of a new senior secured credit facility that provides for senior secured term loans in the amount of $1,250,000,000 and a senior secured revolving credit facility that allows borrowings of up to $150,000,000 (collectively, the Refinancing). As the result of the Refinancing, Aptalis anticipates recording a loss on extinguishment of approximately $5,300,000 in the first quarter of the 2014 fiscal year.
Following the Refinancing, Aptalis distributed approximately $399,500,000 to Aptalis shareholders, holders of Aptalis restricted stock units and certain holders of options (the Distribution). Aptalis also reduced the per share exercise prices of certain outstanding stock options, as allowable under the relevant option plan, to reflect the effects of the Distribution. The Distribution also resulted in the exercise of all vested penny options outstanding. As a result of these per share exercise price reductions of $5.67 per underlying share of each
F-429
unvested option, Aptalis anticipates recording additional compensation cost charges of $4,000,000, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of these options. The Refinancing and the Distribution are collectively referred to as the Recapitalization.
Aptalis new senior secured credit facilities consist of (i) a revolving credit facility allowing for borrowings of up to $150,000,000, of which $25,000,000 may be in the form of letters of credit, and (ii) term B loans with an outstanding principal amount of $1,250,000,000 (excluding OID and upfront payments). The new senior secured revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings. The term B loans were priced at $0.99 and an upfront fee of 50 basis points was paid on commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the new senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal, at Aptalis option, to either a base rate (subject to a floor of 2.0% in the case of term B loans) or a LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0% in the case of term B loans), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Subject to the floor described in the immediately preceding sentence, the base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (3) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. Subject to the floor described in the first sentence of this paragraph, the LIBOR rate is determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the associated interest period and is adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margins for term B loan borrowings are 4.00% per annum on base rate borrowings and 5.00% per annum on LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings are subject to quarterly adjustment based on Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio and will range from (A) 3.50% to 3.75% per annum on revolving loans that are base rate borrowings and (B) 4.50% to 4.75% per annum on revolving loans that are LIBOR borrowings.
Further, upon or after the consummation of a Qualifying IPO, as defined, so long as Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.25:1.00, the applicable margin with respect to term B loans and revolving loans (otherwise determined in accordance with the above) will be reduced by 0.50%.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, Aptalis is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on unutilized commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility. This unutilized commitment fee is subject to quarterly adjustment based on Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio but in no event will the commitment fee increase to higher than 0.5%. Aptalis is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees.
On November 8, 2013, in conjunction with the refinancing, Aptalis terminated its existing interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements and paid a total of $13,547,000 to its derivative counterparties. Aptalis then entered in two new interest rate cap agreements with an effective date of December 31, 2013 which protects Aptalis from increases in the cash flows on its variable rate debt under its October 4, 2013 Refinancing attributable to changes in LIBOR above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. The interest rate caps each have a notional amount of $275,000,000 amortizing to $25,000,000 by their maturity in December 2019. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and limits Aptalis interest payments on the hedged October 4, 2013 refinanced debt at 1.0%, plus the appropriate margin on each debt interest period which is currently 5.0%. The interest rate caps will fix Aptalis interest payments on the hedged debt at 6.78%.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in the tables are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share related data)
(unaudited)
1. | Governing Statutes, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
Aptalis Holdings Inc. (formerly Axcan Holdings Inc.) is a corporation incorporated on January 10, 2008, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The corporation and its subsidiaries (together the Company) commenced active operations with the purchase, through a wholly owned subsidiary, on February 25, 2008 of all of the outstanding common shares of Axcan Pharma Inc., a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company provides innovative, effective therapies for unmet medical needs including cystic fibrosis and gastrointestinal disorders. The Company has manufacturing and commercial operations in the United States, the European Union and Canada. The Company also formulates and clinically develops enhanced pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products for itself and others using its proprietary technology platforms including bioavailability enhancement of poorly soluble drugs, custom release profiles, and taste-masking/orally disintegration tablet (ODT) formulations.
On October 4, 2013, the Company and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries completed a refinancing consisting of the (i) repayment of all outstanding indebtedness under preexisting senior secured credit facilities, (ii) termination of preexisting senior secured credit facilities and (iii) execution of a new senior secured credit facility that provides for senior secured term loans in the amount of $1,250,000,000 and a senior secured revolving credit facility that allows borrowings of up to $150,000,000 (collectively, the Refinancing). Following the Refinancing, we distributed approximately $399,500,000 to our shareholders, holders of our restricted stock units and certain holders of options (the Distribution). We also reduced the per share exercise prices of certain outstanding stock options, as allowable under the relevant option plan, to reflect the effects of the Distribution. The Refinancing and the Distribution are collectively referred to as the Recapitalization. Refer to Notes 10, 11 and 17 for additional information.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. We have evaluated subsequent events as of January 30, 2014. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. When necessary, the financial statements include amounts based on informed estimates and best judgment of management. The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. In Managements opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, most notably, the Company has reclassified its presentation of fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration payable relating to business combinations from financial expenses to operating expenses within its consolidated statement of operations. These reclassifications did not change net income, total or net assets or cash and were not material. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a clarification regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit related to a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. Under this new standard, the liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion
F-436
thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset if available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. Otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a separate liability. The assessment is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We are still determining the impact of this standard on the presentation of both our deferred tax assets and income taxes payable.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In addition, the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges is removed. The provisions of this guidance are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on foreign currency matters on parents accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This amendment clarifies the timing of release of currency translation adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income upon deconsolidation or derecognition of a foreign entity, subsidiary or a group of assets within a foreign entity and in step acquisitions. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of those obligations. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income and requires an entity to present, either on the face of the financial statement or in the notes, the effects of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income and to cross-reference to other required disclosures, where applicable. These disclosure requirements are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance requires enhanced disclosures and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that limits the scope of existing disclosure requirements about offsetting assets and liabilities to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities borrowings and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The adoption of this guidance requires enhanced disclosures and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

3. | Acquisitions, Research Collaborations and License Agreements |
Agreements with Mpex Pharmaceuticals Inc. for acquisition and development of APT-1026
On April 11, 2011, the Company and its affiliate, Axcan Lone Star Inc, entered into a series of agreements with Mpex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Mpex) for the acquisition and development of APT-1026 (the Mpex Transaction), a proprietary aerosol formulation of levofloxacin, which recently completed Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Subsequently on August 31, 2011, under the terms of these agreements, the Company and Merger Sub acquired all of Mpexs assets related to APT-1026 in a merger of Mpex with and into Merger Sub, with Mpex being the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the merger, Mpex transferred all of its assets not related to APT-1026 to Rempex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Rempex), a newly formed company that is owned primarily by the previous Mpex stockholders. Total consideration in relation to the Mpex Transaction consists of (i) time-based, non-contingent payments amounting to $62,500,000 to be paid in a number of installments, of which $52,500,000 has been paid to date, plus (ii) contingent payments of up to $195,000,000 upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, such as, acceptance for substantive review of an NDA or foreign equivalent, EU approval or U.S. approval and certain net sales milestones and (iii) earn-out payments based on net sales of APT-1026. Indemnity obligations of the Mpex security holders will be satisfied by set-off against a portion of the foregoing merger consideration payments. The final installments on the time-based non-contingent payments of $25,000,000 are due in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. On November 1, 2013, we paid $15,000,000 of these remaining installments. Also, in November 2013, we filed a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the EMA. The MAA was accepted for substantive review and as a result, the Company paid a development milestone of $10,000,000 in December 2013 and expensed as research and development. The Mpex transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as Mpex did not entail the necessary processes or outputs to qualify as a business as defined in GAAP. The Company reached the conclusion that Mpex was an asset acquisition because it obtained the rights to access inputs through its co-development of pre-clinical intellectual property and did not employ Rempexs scientists. The Company did not acquire processes that are capable of producing outputs given the intellectual property was early-stage. Given that the intellectual property acquired was still in development, it requires significant development effort by the Company and the scientists retained by the seller in order to produce outputs. Additionally, any substantive decisions related to APT-1026 required the approval of the development steering committee, which had equal representation from the Company and Rempex.
The further development of APT-1026 was conducted pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement dated April 11, 2011, which was subsequently amended on October 25, 2013 among the Company, Merger Sub and Mpex. Since the completion of the divestiture of assets and liabilities unrelated to APT-1026 (the Divestiture) to Rempex, Rempex has assumed all of Mpexs obligations under the Development Agreement. Under the Development Agreement, Mpex (and after the Divestiture, Rempex) has been paid for the actual development costs of APT-1026 and has had primary responsibility for conducting day-to-day development activities. Prior to the amendment of the Development Agreement, the Company was required to pay certain development costs estimated for the next three months in advance based on a rolling three-month forecast. The Company and Merger Sub have input regarding development strategy. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, on April 12, 2011, Mpex was paid $8,731,000 for development expenses it incurred from November 15, 2010 to March 31, 2011, which has been expensed as acquired in-process research, and an additional $9,913,000 for estimated development costs to be incurred during the first three months of the Development Agreement, of which $8,514,000 has been expensed as research and development. All payments under the Development Agreement, Option Agreement and Merger Agreement to Mpex or Mpex security holders, as applicable, will be made by or on behalf of Merger Sub (or after the consummation of the Merger, the Surviving Company). During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company expensed $65,540,000 as acquired in-process research and development reflecting the initial non-contingent payment of $12,000,000, the discounted value of future time-based non-contingent payments payable under the Option and Merger agreements of $44,809,000 (with a corresponding liability) and the payment for certain pre-agreement incurred development expenses of $8,731,000.
F-438
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company expensed $13,099,000 in research and development related to the development of APT-1026 and includes the contingent milestone of $10,000,000 due on acceptance of the MAA for substantive review ($2,998,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012).As of December 31, 2013, $9,810,000 representing the amount accrued for the non-contingent payments payable under the Option and Merger agreements, is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company made milestone payments of $15,000,000 under this agreement.
On July 18, 2012, the Company received preliminary data on the placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial for U.S. approval for APT-1026. The Companys initial analysis of this data showed that the clinical trial did not meet its primary endpoint, time to exacerbation, while it demonstrated efficacy in key secondary endpoints. The Company recently completed its second active controlled phase III clinical trials for EU approval where APT-1026 was compared to tobramycin. In this trial, the primary endpoint, non inferiority versus tobramycin in lung function, was met and efficacy in key secondary endpoints was also demonstrated. The Company has determined to take the next steps toward a regulatory filing for APT-1026 in the EU. On Friday, November 29, 2013, Aptalis filed the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in Europe, via the Centralized procedure, for APT-1026 (APT-1026, levofloxacin 240 mg Nebulizer Solution), a new formulation of levofloxacin for inhalation for the long-term management of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis. The MAA was accepted for substantive review on December 23, 2013.
Equity investment in the Company
Simultaneous with the execution of the Mpex agreements, the Company received the proceeds of a $55,000,000 equity investment from funds managed by Investor Growth Capital Limited. Aptalis Holdings contributed the proceeds of the equity investment to its subsidiaries to fund a portion of the cost of the Mpex transactions.
4. | Disposal of the PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR Product line |
On March 28, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Pinnacle Biologics, Inc., which acquired all global assets and rights related to PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR, including inventory, for non-contingent payments amounting to $4,252,000. In addition to the non-contingent payments, additional payments shall be made to the Company after the achievement of certain milestones events. The Company will also be paid royalties on annual net sales of PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR.
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $7,365,000 as a result of the disposal of the PHOTOFRIN/PHOTOBARR product line. Consideration for additional contingent payments to be made to the Company shall be recorded as a gain in the period in which they are received. The Company received milestone payments of $2,000,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and recorded a gain ($1,000,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012).

6. | Income Taxes |
The Company establishes a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At December 31, 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of $214,080,000. The jurisdictions in which the Company recorded valuation allowances are the United States for $190,379,000, France for $21,981,000, Canada for $1,016,000 and Italy for $704,000. In future periods, if the deferred income tax assets are determined by management to be more likely than not to be realized, the recognized tax benefits relating to the reversal of the valuation allowance will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was 82.23% compared to 23.60% in the prior years period. This difference arises from the following:

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $287,000,000 of unremitted earnings in respect to its international subsidiaries. A deferred income tax liability amounting to $ 101,000,000 on the outside basis of a subsidiary had been recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, distributions were made to the shareholders and cash was repatriated from certain of the Companys foreign subsidiaries. The repatriation of earnings resulted in recognition of income of $ 250,000,000 for U.S. tax purposes; tax impact of which was offset by utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the U.S. The excess amount of deferred income tax liability recorded at September 30, 2013 amounted to $ 13,500,000 which has been reversed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.
As at December 31, 2013, with respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $5,987,400 ($5,939,000 as at September 30, 2013).

The Company has historically recognized interest relating to income tax matters as a component of financial expenses and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $1,490,000 ($1,446,000 as of September 30, 2013) for interest relating to income tax matters. There were no amounts recorded for penalties as of December 31, 2013. The Company believes that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease within 12 months.
The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, local and foreign jurisdictions including Canada and France. In many cases, the Companys uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company is subject to federal and state income tax examination by U.S. tax authorities for fiscal years 2008 through 2013. The Company is subject to Canadian and provincial income tax examination for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 and for international transactions for fiscal years 2007 through 2013. There are numerous other income jurisdictions for which tax returns are not yet settled, none of which is individually significant.

On October 4, 2013, in connection with the Recapitalization, the Company completed a refinancing of the term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Facilities. The Company terminated its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and entered into a new Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement governs the new Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Our new Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility (the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility), allowing for borrowings of up to $150,000,000, of which $25,000,000 may be in the form of letters of credit, and (ii) term B loans (the term B loans and the facility the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and, together with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) with an outstanding principal amount of $1,250,000,000 (excluding OID and upfront payments). The new senior secured revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings.
An upfront fee of 50 basis points was paid on commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility and an upfront fee of 1.00% was paid on the principal amount of the term B loans. Borrowings under the new senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal, at the Companys option, to either a base rate (subject to a floor of 2.0% in the case of term B loans) or a LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0% in the case of term B loans), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Subject to the floor described in the immediately preceding sentence, the base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (3) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. Subject to the floor described in the first sentence of this paragraph, the LIBOR rate is determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the associated interest period and is adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margins for term B loan borrowings are 4.00% per annum on base rate borrowings and 5.00% per annum on LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings are subject to quarterly adjustment based on Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio and will range from (A) 3.50% to 3.75% per annum on revolving loans that are base rate borrowings and (B) 4.50% to 4.75% per annum on revolving loans that are LIBOR borrowings.
Further, upon or after the consummation of a Qualifying IPO, as defined, so long as Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.25:1.00, the applicable margin with respect to term B loans and revolving loans (otherwise determined in accordance with the above) will be reduced by 0.50%.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on unutilized commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility. This unutilized commitment fee is subject to quarterly adjustment based on Aptalis Pharmas senior secured net leverage ratio but in no event will the commitment fee increase to higher than 0.5%. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees.
The principal amount of the term B loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount with payments beginning in December 31, 2013. The principal amount outstanding of the term B loans will be due and payable on October 4, 2020. The principal amount of outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Revolving Facility will be due and payable in full on October 4, 2018. At December 31, 2013, $1,250,000,000 of term B loans had been issued and no amounts had been drawn against the senior secured revolving credit facility. The term B loan was priced at $0.99, with yield to maturity of 6.23%, before the effect of interest rate hedging transactions as disclosed in Note 15.
The Credit Agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities requires the Company to prepay outstanding term B loans contingent upon the occurrence of events, subject to certain exceptions, with: (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt other than debt permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, (2) commencing with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, 50% (which percentage will be reduced if the senior secured net leverage ratio is less than a specified ratio) of the annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) and (3) 100% of the net cash
F-444
proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property (including casualty events) by the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions. As a result of the refinancing, the Company was not required to make prepayments related to the Amended Credit Facilities in the year ended September 30, 2013.
The Company used the proceeds from the borrowings under the term B loans to repay in full the outstanding indebtedness, in aggregate principal amount of $926,375,000 under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Following the repayment, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for debt modifications and extinguishments, $980,000 of the remaining unamortized original issuance discount and $4,284,000 of the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees were written off and are included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying statement of condensed consolidated operations during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
The Companys Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement governed the Amended Credit Facilities and comprised of Term B-1 Loans amounting to $750,000,000, Term B2- Loans amounting to $200,000,000 and a senior secured revolving credit facility totaling $147,000,000. As at September 30, 2013, $950,000,000 of term loans comprised of Term B-1 Loans amounting to $750,000,000 and Term B-2 Loans amounting to $200,000,000 had been issued of which $926,375,000 remained outstanding. No amounts had been drawn against the revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Facilities.

11. | Stock Incentive Plans |
Management equity incentive plan
In April 2008, the Company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the MEIP), pursuant to which options are granted to select employees and directors of the Company. The MEIP provides that a maximum of 3,833,307 common shares of the Company are issuable pursuant to the exercise of options. The per share purchase price cannot be less than the fair value of the common share of the Company at the grant date and the option expires no later than ten years from the date of grant. Vesting of these stock options is split into three categories: (1) time-based options: 50% of option grants generally vest ratably over five years and feature a fixed exercise price equal to the fair value of common shares of the Company on grant date; (2) premium options: 25% of stock option grants with an exercise price initially equal to the fair value of common shares on grant date that will increase by 10% each year and generally vesting ratably over five years; and (3) performance-based options: 25% of stock option grants with a fixed exercise price equal to the fair value of common shares on grant date which vest upon the occurrence of a liquidity event (as defined under the terms of the MEIP) based on the achievement of return targets calculated based on the return received by majority shareholders from the liquidity event. While the time-based options and the premium options are expensed over the requisite service period, the performance-based options will not be expensed until the occurrence of the liquidity event. The MEIP was
F-445
amended and restated effective February 11, 2011 primarily to reflect an increase to a maximum of 5,033,507 common shares of the Company issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and to change the required return targets that need to be achieved for vesting performance-based options issued under the amended and restated plan.
Special equity grant
In April 2008, the Company approved the Restricted Stock Unit grant agreement and the penny option grant agreement (collectively Equity Grant Agreements) pursuant to which a one-time grant of equity-based awards of either restricted stock units (RSUs) or options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company for a penny (Penny Options) was made to certain employees of the Company. A maximum of 1,343,348 shares of common stock of the Company are issuable with respect to the special grants. As a result of the option to allow the recipients to elect to have an amount withheld that is in excess of the required minimum withholding under the current tax law, the special grants will be accounted for as liability awards. As a liability award, the fair value on which the expense is based is remeasured each period based on the estimated fair value and the final expense will be based on the fair value of the shares on the date the award is settled. Such final expense is reclassified to additional paid-in capital six months after the settlement of awards on the lapse of the aforementioned option allowed to the recipients. The RSUs and Penny Options expire no later than four years and ten years respectively from the date of grant. One third of the granted RSUs and Penny Options vested immediately on date of grant; one third vested on August 25, 2009, and the remainder vested on August 25, 2010.
The carrying value of an RSU or Penny Option is always equal to the estimated fair value of one common share of the Company. The RSUs and Penny Options entitle the holders to receive common shares of the Company at the end of a vesting period. The total number of RSUs and Penny Options granted was 1,343,348 with an initial fair value of $10, equal to the share price at the date of grant. As at December 31, 2013, there were 5,000 RSUs outstanding (5,000 RSUs and 235,842 Penny Options outstanding as of September 30, 2013), all of which were vested at September 30, 2013.
Annual grant
In June 2008, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP), whereby the Company is expected to grant annual awards to certain employees of the Company (the participants). The number of awards is initially based on the participants job level and base salary and is subsequently adjusted based on the outcome of certain financial performance conditions relating to the fiscal year. Each award that vests is ultimately settleable at the option of the participant in cash or in common shares of equivalent value. The awards vest (i) upon the occurrence of a liquidity event (as defined under the terms of the LTIP) and (ii) in varying percentages based on the level of return realized by majority shareholders as a result of the liquidity event.
The awards granted under this LTIP are eventually to be classified as liabilities in accordance with the FASB issued guidance on distinguishing liabilities from equity, since the award is for a fixed amount of value that can be settled at the option of the participant in (i) cash, or (ii) a variable number of common shares of equivalent value.
The Company will not recognize any compensation expense until such time as the occurrence of a liquidity event generating sufficient return to the majority shareholders (in order for the award to vest) is probable. If such an event were probable as of December 31, 2013, the value of the awards to be expensed by the Company would range between $16,674,000 and $20,009,000 depending on the level of return expected to be realized by the majority shareholders.
F-446
Distribution
The Company used the proceeds of the refinancing described in Note 10 and distributed approximately $399,500,000 to our shareholders, holders of the Companys RSUs and certain holders of options granted under the MEIP (the Distribution). The Distribution resulted in the exercise of all the outstanding vested penny options. The distribution of $384,508,000 to the shareholders reduced the additional paid-in capital of the Company since the Companys retained earnings are in a deficit position. The distribution of $14,978,000 to the RSU holders and holders of options granted under the MEIP is considered compensation expense. A portion of the distribution to certain holders of options granted under the MEIP amounting to $3,730,000 is subject to a repayment clause and has been deferred and will be recognized in expense over eighteen months.
The Company also reduced the per share exercise prices of certain outstanding stock options granted under the MEIP, as allowable under the relevant option plan, to reflect the effects of the Distribution. The per share exercise price reduction of $5.67 per underlying share of each unvested option granted under the MEIP was treated as a modification resulting in an incremental share-based compensation expense of $4,000,000 which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of these options.

14. | Financial Instruments |
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable interest-bearing term loans. The term loans bear interest based on British Banker Association LIBOR. As further disclosed in Note 15, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and reduce its overall cost of borrowing.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of the rates. The Company has used derivative instruments historically to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. As at December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, no foreign exchange contracts were outstanding. As at December 31, 2013, the financial assets totaling $208,318,000 ($316,137,000 as at September 30, 2013) include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable for 5,645,000 Canadian dollars,
F-449
17,718,000 euros and 1,002,000 Swiss francs respectively (4,738,000 Canadian dollars, 14,379,000 euros and 1,084,000 Swiss francs as at September 30, 2013). As at December 31, 2013, the financial liabilities totaling $1,389,901,000 ($1,110,240,000 as at September 30, 2013) include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt of 5,635,000 Canadian dollars, 19,074,000 euros and 61,000 Swiss francs respectively (6,828,000 Canadian dollars, 21,119,000 euros and 1,000 Swiss francs as at September 30, 2013).
Credit risk
Generally, the carrying amount of the Companys financial assets exposed to credit risk, net of applicable provisions for losses, represents the maximum amount of exposure to credit risk. As at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Companys financial assets exposed to credit risk are composed primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
As at December 31, 2013, the Company has approximately 84% of its cash and cash equivalents with two financial institutions. At times, such deposits may exceed the amount insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Fair value of financial instruments held at carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet
The estimated fair value of the financial instruments held at carrying amount is as follows:

a) Financial instruments for which fair value approximates carrying amount
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments shown on the consolidated balance sheet approximates their carrying amount. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
b) Long-term debt
The fair value of the variable interest-bearing term loan has been established based on broker-dealer quotes and represents a Level 2 input.
15. | Derivatives and Hedging Activities |
Risk management objective of using derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate,
F-450
liquidity, currency and credit risks primarily by managing the amount, sources, conditions and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates. The Companys derivative financial instruments, if any, are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Companys known or expected cash payments principally related to the Companys borrowings.
Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk
The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and/or caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. While the Company seeks to mitigate interest rate risk by entering into hedging arrangements with counterparties that are large financial institutions that the Company deems to be creditworthy, it is possible that the hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect earnings. Furthermore, if the Company terminates a hedging arrangement, it may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges protect the Company from increases in interest rates above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of the existing variable-rate debt.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
On November 8, 2013, in conjunction with the refinancing described in Note 10, the Company terminated its existing interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements and paid a total of $13,547,000 to its derivative counterparties and discontinued hedge accounting accordingly. Subsequent to the refinancing, the existing swaps and cap no longer met the requirements for hedge accounting. As of the termination date, losses of $13,804,000 were deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income which will be amortized to interest expense through the original maturities of the instruments.
The Company then entered in two new interest rate cap agreements with an effective date of December 31, 2013 which protects the Company from increases in the cash flows on its variable rate debt under its October 4, 2013 Refinancing attributable to changes in LIBOR above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. The interest rate caps each have a notional amount of $275,000,000 amortizing to $25,000,000 by their maturity in December 2019. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and limits the Companys interest payments on the hedged October 4, 2013 refinanced debt at 1.0%, plus the appropriate margin on each debt interest period which is currently 5.0%. The interest rate caps will fix the Companys interest payments on the hedged debt at 6.78%.
On April 4, 2011, the Company had entered into two separate pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of June 30, 2011 which converted a portion of the variable rate debt under its Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facilities to fixed rate debt. The first swap had a notional amount of $331,000,000, amortizing to $84,000,000 by its maturity in December 2015. At September 30, 2013, the notional amount of the first swap was $169,000,000. The second swap had a notional amount of $219,000,000 and matures in December 2016. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
F-451
On June 27, 2012, the Company had entered in an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of September 30, 2012 which protected the Company from increases in the cash flows on its variable rate debt under its Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facilities attributable to changes in LIBOR above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap had a notional amount of $100,000,000 and matured in September 2016. The interest rate cap was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk.
As at December 31, 2013, the Company had two interest rate caps outstanding with a combined current notional amount of $550,000,000 and were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk on LIBOR-based debt as described above. Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Companys variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that $4,563,000 presently classified in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months. On January 29, 2014, the Company cancelled its outstanding interest rate caps and incurred cancellation fees amounting to $1,150,000.

The Company considers the impact of its and its counterparties credit risk on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 2013, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Companys derivative financial instruments.
F-452
The Company has determined that there is no difference between net and gross presentations of its financial instruments because (1) all financial instruments are presented gross on the condensed consolidated balance sheet; (2) the Company is not party to a master netting arrangement or other similar agreement; and (3) all of the Companys financial instruments were in an asset position at December 31, 2013 and in a liability position at September 30, 2013.

(1) | Long-term debt is measured at amortized cost and shown in the table above at Fair Value. |
Derivative financial instruments represent interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements as more fully described in Note 17 and are measured at fair value based on market observable interest rate curves as of the measurement date.
The contingent consideration obligations are related to the Rectiv Transaction and the fair value measurement is determined using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Companys assumptions. Significant unobservable inputs include the projected revenue estimates and the risk adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability weighted cash flows. Generally, a change in the discount rate assumption would result in a directionally opposite change in the contingent consideration obligation. The discount rate used in the fair value measurement is in the range of 7%-13% depending on the type of contingent payment. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations and included in
F-453
operating income. The Company continues to monitor performance of Rectiv and may make adjustments to its valuation models in future periods. Given the sensitivity of the valuation in relation to changes in the above noted assumptions, such changes, if required, could have a material impact on our financial statements.
The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis. These instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
Financial assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

18. | Pending Litigation |
In October 2008, Eurand and Cephalon (which exclusively licenses certain patents from Eurand) received Paragraph IV certification letters relating to ANDAs submitted to the FDA by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Mylan, and Barr Laboratories, Inc., or Barr, each requesting approval to market and sell a generic version of the 15 mg and 30 mg strengths of extended-release cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (AMRIX). In November 2008, Eurand received a similar certification letter from Impax Laboratories, Inc., or Impax. In May 2009, Eurand received a similar certification letter from Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Anchen. Mylan, Impax, and Anchen alleged that U.S. Patent Number 7,387,793, or the 793 Patent, entitled Modified Release Dosage Forms of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants, issued to Eurand, will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the product described in the applicable ANDA and reserved the right to challenge the validity and/or enforceability of the 793 Patent. Barr alleged that the 793 Patent is invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by its manufacture, use or sale of the product described in its ANDA. In late November 2008, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon, in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Mylan (and its parent) and Barr (and its parent) for infringement of the 793 Patent. In January 2009, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Impax for infringement of the 793 Patent. In July 2009, Eurand filed a lawsuit with Cephalon in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against Anchen (and its parent) for infringement of the 793 Patent. Subsequently, in response to additional Paragraph IV certification letters regarding U.S. Patent Number 7,544,372, or the 372 Patent, entitled Modified Release Dosage Forms of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants Eurand and Cephalon also filed lawsuits against Mylan, Barr, and Anchen for the infringement of the 372 Patent. All cases were consolidated in one action in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, and were tried in a bench trial in September-October 2010.
On October 7, 2010, both Eurand and Anesta AG, or Anesta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cephalon, reached an agreement to settle the pending patent infringement litigation over AMRIX with Impax. Under terms of the settlement, both Eurand and Anesta will grant to Impax a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to market and sell a generic version of AMRIX in the United States beginning one year prior to expiration of the 793 Patent, which is expected to expire in February 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances.
On May 12, 2011, the U.S. District Court in Delaware rendered a decision against Eurand and Cephalon. On May 13, 2011, Mylan launched its product. Eurand and Cephalon appealed the District Courts finding of obviousness to the Federal Circuit, and on May 24, 2011, the District Court issued an injunction order enjoining Mylan from selling any additional products pending the Federal Circuits decision. On April 16, 2012, the Federal Circuit reversed and vacated the judgment of invalidity by the U.S. District Court in Delaware in the patent infringement lawsuit by Eurand and Cephalon. Mylan filed a petition for rehearing en banc and on July 25, 2012, the petition was denied. Subsequently Mylan filed a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court on October 23, 2012 and on January 14, 2013, the petition was denied. The case was remanded to the District Court for consideration of the issue of damages. The trial on the issue of damages is scheduled to commence on September 2, 2014.
The Company is involved (and expects to continue to be involved from time to time) in patent litigation relating to ANDAs filed by potential competitors seeking to market generic versions of the Companys products. For example, in July 2013, in response to notice letters regarding the filings of ANDAs by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Inc. (collectively, Mylan), as well as Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz), seeking approval to market a generic version of CANASA, the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits alleging infringement of certain of its patents and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief. Mylan filed its Answer and Counterclaims in August 2013 and Sandoz filed its Answer and Counterclaims in September 2013, in each case contending that the Companys patents are invalid or not infringed. The Company believes the ANDAs were filed before the patents covering CANASA were listed in the Orange Book, which generally means that the Company is not entitled to the 30-month stay of the approval of these ANDAs provided for by the Hatch-Waxman Act. While the Company intends to vigorously defend these and other patents and pursue its legal rights, it can offer no assurance as to when the pending or any future litigation will be decided, whether such
F-455
lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of one or more of its products will not be approved and enter the market. An adverse outcome in such patent litigation could materially and adversely affect the Companys revenues.
19. | Subsequent Events |
On January 8, 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX), a leading, fully integrated, specialty pharmaceutical company. Forest has agreed to acquire the Company from its controlling shareholders, TPG, the global private investment firm, for $2.9 billion in cash, pending required reviews by anti-trust authorities. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2014, subject to regulatory review which was completed on January 24, 2014 and satisfactory completion of additional necessary closing conditions. All outstanding debt of the Company will be repaid upon close of the transaction. On January 29, 2014, in anticipation of a potential close, the Company cancelled its outstanding interest rate caps and incurred cancellation fees amounting to $1,150,000.
