`
`October 30, 2015
`
`LAVAL, Quebec, Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX) (TSX: VRX) announced today that
`it is severing all ties with Philidor Rx Services, LLC, and that Philidor has informed Valeant that it will shut down operations as soon as
`possible, consistent with applicable laws.
`
`"The newest allegations about activities at Philidor raise additional questions about the company's business practices," said J. Michael
`Pearson, Valeant's chairman and chief executive officer. "We have lost confidence in Philidor's ability to continue to operate in a manner that
`is acceptable to Valeant and the patients and doctors we serve."
`
`"We understand that patients, doctors and business partners have been disturbed by the reports of improper behavior at Philidor, just as
`we have been," Pearson said. "We know the allegations have also led them to question Valeant and our integrity, and for that I take
`complete responsibility. Operating honestly and ethically is our first priority, and you have my absolute commitment that we will make it
`right."
`
`Valeant intends to develop a plan to ensure patients' access to drugs is minimally disrupted. Valeant has informed Philidor that to the extent
`that managed care plans will no longer reimburse prescriptions in process, Valeant will fill them at the company's expense.
`
`"We are committed to doing everything we can to provide important medicines to the patients and doctors who depend on them, and will
`continue to explore relationships with the full range of pharmacies to ensure patients have access to the drugs they need," Pearson said.
`
`In the Third Quarter 2015, Philidor represented 6.8% of total Valeant revenue.
