Item 8.01     Other Events.
 
As previously reported, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Company”) delayed the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-Q”).

In addition, as previously reported, as a result of the delay in the Company filing the Form 10-Q, on May 19, 2016, the Company received a notice of default from the trustee under the indenture governing the Company’s 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, the Company has 60 days from the receipt of such notice of default to file the Form 10-Q, which will cure such default in all respects.

On June 2, 2016, as a result of the delay in the Company filing the Form 10-Q, the Company received an additional notice of default from the trustee under the respective indentures governing the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due 2021 and 7.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (collectively, the “Notes”). The 7.250% Senior Notes due 2022 were issued by the Company’s subsidiary, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International. Under the respective indentures, the Company has 60 days from the receipt of such notice of default to file the Form 10-Q, which will cure the default under the related indenture in all respects. If the Company does not cure the default by filing the Form 10-Q within such 60-day period, the trustee with respect to a series of Notes or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes may accelerate the related Notes, and all unpaid principal and accrued interest on such Notes then outstanding would become immediately due and payable.  As of the date hereof, there is outstanding $1.625 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Notes due 2021 and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% Senior Notes due 2022. The notice of default does not result in the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The notice of default also does not change the date by which the Form 10-Q is required to be filed pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2012, among the Company and the other parties named therein (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Form 10-Q is required to be filed by July 3, 2016.

A copy of the press release, dated June 3, 2016 issued by the Company announcing that it had received the additional notice of default is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously announced, the Company intends to file the Form 10-Q on or before June 10, 2016, however there can be no assurance that the Company will file the Form 10-Q within such time period.
