Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Pershing Square today issued the following statement in response to Allergan’s August 26th announcement that it has set a date for the Special Meeting of Stockholders and has asked the United States District Court for the Central District of California to set an expedited schedule for discovery and a motion for a preliminary injunction against Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Pershing Square:

“We are confident that Allergan’s desperate attempts to delay or prevent a Special Meeting of Stockholders will not succeed, and that the Special Meeting will be held not later than December 18. It is apparent that Allergan fears letting its stockholders have a voice, and we believe that its transparent efforts to prevent that will not stand.”
