INTERNATIONAL SPIN-OFF - FACT VS. FICTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  Committed to the international IPO.

o  European market conditions do not exist for this transaction.

o  International IPO scheduled in early 2003 or sooner.

                                                                          7

o  Target expense reduction from 8.5% to 7% post-proxy through:

   - Legal                      - New hire freeze
   - IR/PR expenses             - Redundancy reduction
   - Centralization/RNA shift   - Tighten vendor controls

RESTRUCTURING - FACT VS. FICTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  ICN has DELIVERED on its promise to restructure the company with
   tangible results.

o  To have done so when market conditions were not conducive would have
   been DESTRUCTIVE to shareholder value.

o  The results point to management's patience, wisdom and experience.

o  Opposition suggestion that a restructuring should have been done sooner
   points to their lack of experience and the danger to shareholders of
   electing their slate.
                                                                          9

BOARD INDEPENDENCE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  ICN's board has ALWAYS been comprised of independent directors.

o  Since ICN's founding, 39 out of 42 directors have been non-insiders.

   shareholders - EVER.

o  They have NO experience managing a global pharmaceutical company.

o  They have NO scientific knowledge needed for continued innovations.

o  They are very recent shareholders who have executed at least 195 trades,
   including 62 sales.

                                                                         13


SUBSTANTIAL RISK TO SHAREHOLDERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  There is ENORMOUS RISK to shareholders in siding with the opposition.

o  They have NO track record, NO experience and NO strategy.

o  ICN management has CONSISTENTLY delivered on its promises.

o  A VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION PLACES YOUR INVESTMENT IN ICN AT SUBSTANTIAL
   RISK.
