Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Shares reported in
Item 5 as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $429,508,435.00 (including brokerage commissions) for the accounts of the Taconic Funds. The source of funds used by the Reporting Persons for the
purchase of the Shares listed in Item 5 was the working capital of the Taconic Funds: (i) approximately $1,392,087.00 of working capital of TCP, (ii) approximately $31,836,774.00 of working capital of TCP 1.5, (iii) approximately
$52,672,826.00 of working capital of TMF 1.5, (iv) approximately $103,078,329.00 of working capital of TOP, (v) approximately $23,540,005.00 of working capital of TOP II and (vi) approximately $216,988,414.00 of working capital of
TOMF. Working capital of each Taconic Fund was provided by capital contributions of the partners and internally generated funds of such Taconic Fund.
The Shares held for each Taconic Fund may be held through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which extend credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to
applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules, and such firms’ credit policies. The positions may be held in margin accounts that are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Shares reported in Item 5 as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired for the accounts of the Taconic Funds for investment purposes and not with a view towards changing or
influencing control of the Company. The Company is subject to an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“
Valeant
”), a party unrelated to the Reporting Persons, to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “
Valeant Non-Binding Proposal
”), which if consummated would result in a change of control of the Company. Since the Reporting Persons acquired some of the Shares following the public
announcement of the Valeant Non-Binding Proposal on March 29, 2011, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired the Shares in connection with such proposed takeover under interpretations of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Reporting Persons may engage in communications with the Company and its stockholders and representatives, Valeant and its affiliates and their respective representatives or other third parties with respect to the terms and conditions
of the Valeant Non-Binding Proposal or other acquisition proposals by Valeant or its affiliates.
Except as set forth herein, the Reporting
Persons do not have any plans or proposals at this time that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons review their beneficial
ownership in the Shares on an ongoing basis. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be acquired, either separately or together with other persons, additional securities of the Company or derivatives or other instruments
related thereto, to dispose of, or cause to be disposed of, such securities, derivatives or other instruments at any time and to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company or any of its securities, including plans or
proposals relating to or resulting in the occurrence of one or more of the transactions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies
of the Reporting Persons, the market for the Shares, the Company’s then prospects, market conditions or other factors deemed relevant from time to time.
