Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 13, 2017, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has launched an offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “notes”). The notes will be additional notes and form part of the same series as the Company’s existing 5.500% senior secured notes due 2025. The notes will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Company is disclosing under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K the following information. The sale of the Obagi Medical Products, Inc. business was completed on November 9, 2017, and this business contributed Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $30 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017.

To supplement the disclosure of our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring and/or unusual items. The Company does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss) for the assets described above because they were parts of larger businesses of the registrant and were not managed on a GAAP basis. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP measures address questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that all investors have access to similar data, we have determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described above. Therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 7.01. Accordingly, this information will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Secured Notes Offering

The Company also issued a press release pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act relating to the offering of the notes. In accordance with Rule 135c(d) under the Securities Act, a copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The foregoing is qualified by reference to the press release that is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K or the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. These securities will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public by prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of the securities in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of such securities laws.
