Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”), the largest shareholder of Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”), announced that on August 4, 2014, Glass Lewis & Co., a leading independent proxy voting advisory firm, recommended that Allergan shareholders support Pershing Square’s efforts to call a special meeting of shareholders and that shareholders take the steps necessary under Allergan’s bylaws to call a special meeting. Glass Lewis’s recommendations are relied upon by hundreds of major institutional investment firms, mutual and pension funds and other fiduciaries.

At the Special Meeting, Allergan shareholders will have the opportunity to voice their support for a number of critical matters, including the removal of six incumbent members of the Allergan board, the appointment of an independent slate of directors, amendments to Allergan’s bylaws to eliminate onerous restrictions on the calling of a special meeting and certain other actions to improve corporate governance of Allergan.

Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman commented: “We’ve said all along that the Allergan board was more concerned with protecting itself than providing value to its shareholders. We’re pleased Glass Lewis agrees with us on that point and has endorsed the call for a special meeting of Allergan shareholders. We ask Allergan’s board to consider the criticisms reflected in the Glass Lewis report and address them by, among other things, quickly engaging with Valeant on its strategically compelling offer to acquire Allergan.”

Glass Lewis emphasized its strong support for the right of shareholders to call special meetings. Pershing Square encourages investors to read the entire Glass Lewis report.

Glass Lewis Analysis

Noting that investors electing to participate in Pershing Square’s efforts to call a special meeting must satisfy a myriad of significant and ongoing administrative hurdles, while the board can nullify those efforts through a decidedly simpler proxy solicitation process, Glass Lewis notes:

“In our opinion, this procedural dichotomy casts a rather dubious light on the seriousness of the board’s desire to be responsive to investors. This obstructive process echoes a trend of recalcitrant adherence to progressive corporate governance standards at Allergan, including a period marked by active opposition to shareholder proposals covering the right to act by written consent and the separation of the roles of chairman and CEO.”

Referring to the “rapid adoption” of a poison pill, Glass Lewis stated, “…the board has not indicated that shareholders will have any opportunity to ratify the rights plan during its duration or that any extension of the pill upon its expiration would require shareholder approval. As such, we consider these efforts generally more indicative of a board concerned with entrenching its position than seeking to enhance shareholder value.”

Glass Lewis continued:

“[W]e believe shareholders, as owners of the Company, should be provided a platform to express their views on certain significant matters not expected to be addressed through routine annual meeting channels. In the case of Allergan, access to such a platform is predicated on the satisfaction of an array of preconditions that, at the very least, are both disproportionately time consuming and dense.”
