RESTRUCTURING HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  The restructuring was ALWAYS ICN's and UBS's idea; no one else had it.

o  It was ALWAYS designed to unlock value for shareholders.

o  The restructuring is a complicated process that cannot be rushed.

o  The timing has been SOLELY impacted by market conditions.

                                                                          3

GOVERNANCE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o  ICN has had a long history of dependable corporate governance.

o  Corporate governance provisions adopted that codify what ICN has
   practiced all along.

o  Nominating committee established that it is comprised solely of
   independent directors.

   - Membership
   - Process

o  CEO succession process established that will result in a timely and
   orderly change in leadership.

                                                                          5


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.

o  As of May 29, 2002, five elected within the last year:

    -  Three as shareholder candidates
    -  Two as qualified by nominating committee
        - Roderick Hills
        - Barry Cohen
        - Gen. Ronald Fogleman
        - Ed Burkhardt

COUNTERACT - 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 shareholders' investment in ICN
   at substantial risk

Following is the text of a press release issued by ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
and appearing in the May 13, 2002 edition of the Wall Street Journal:


                               [LOGO - ICN]

                         ICN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

                    BOARD INDEPENDENCE IS NOT AN ISSUE

The dissidents criticize your company for a lack of board independence.
Frankly, we think the record speaks for itself:

o  If ICN's slate is elected, five out of nine directors will have been
   elected within the last year.  None of these five directors had any
   prior affiliation with ICN, and are independent by anyone's definition.

o  Three of the five are shareholder nominated and elected directors.

        -  Ronald R. Fogelman, General United States Air Force (Retired),
           President and Chief Executive Officer of Durango Aerospace, Inc.
        -  Edward A. Burkhardt, President of Rail World, Inc.
        -  Steven J. Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
           Polymedica Corporation

o  Two directors were recently appointed only after first being qualified
   by the independent nominating committee.

        -  Roderick M. Hills, Former Chairman of the Securities and
           Exchange Commission (S.E.C.)
        -  Abraham (Barry) A. Cohen, Former President of Merck Sharp
           & Dohme International

HOW MUCH MORE INDEPENDENT CAN A BOARD BE?

"The establishment of sound corporate governance is a director's most
important responsibility.  At my first meeting as an ICN director, I found
an independent and effective Board that dealt with issues in a frank and
effective fashion.  I am confident that the ICN Board as it is now
constituted will effectively act in the best interests of all the company's
shareholders.  As a member of the succession planning committee, I am also
confident that ICN will have a well-planned, orderly succession of
management."

                                Roderick M. Hills, ICN Director and Former
                                Chairman of the Securities and Exchange
                                Commission (S.E.C.)
