Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 21, 2004, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International issued a press release announcing that it has called for the full redemption on July 21, 2004 of its outstanding 6 1/2 percent convertible subordinated notes (notes) due 2008. The aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding on the date of this report is $236,599,000, all of which will be redeemed unless converted on or before July 20, 2004.
The company will redeem all of the notes at a redemption price of 103.714 percent of the principal amount of the notes, plus interest on the notes for the period from July 15, 2004, to July 20, 2004, which interest will amount to $1.083 for each $1,000 of principal, for a total redemption price of $1,038.22 for each $1,000 principal amount of notes.
Valeant will redeem the notes using a portion of the proceeds it received in private transactions in November and December of 2003, in which it issued and sold $240,000,000 of its 3% convertible subordinated notes due 2010, $240,000,000 of its 4% convertible subordinated notes due 2013, and $300,000,000 of its senior notes due 2011. Valeant has filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the notes issued in 2003 which have not yet become effective.
