Dear Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend our 2006 annual meeting of
stockholders, to be held at the Irvine Marriott Hotel,
18000 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, California, on
Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. local time. We hope
you will be present to hear managements report to
stockholders.
The attached notice of meeting and proxy statement describe the
matters to be acted upon at the annual meeting. If you plan to
attend the annual meeting in person, please mark the designated
box on the enclosed proxy card. Alternatively, if you utilize
the telephone or Internet voting system, please indicate your
plans to attend the annual meeting when prompted to do so by the
system. If you are a stockholder of record, you should bring the
bottom half of the enclosed proxy card as your admission card
and present the card upon entering the annual meeting. If you
are planning to attend the annual meeting and your shares are
held in street name (by a bank or broker, for example), you
should ask the record owner for a legal proxy or bring your most
recent account statement to the annual meeting so that we can
verify your ownership of Allergan stock. Please note, however,
that if your shares are held in street name and you do not bring
a legal proxy from the record owner, you will be able to attend
the annual meeting, but you will not be able to vote at the
annual meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting personally,
and regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important
that your shares be represented at the annual meeting.
Accordingly, we urge you to promptly complete the enclosed proxy
card and return it to the inspector of elections in the
postage-prepaid envelope provided, or to promptly use the
telephone or Internet voting system. If you do attend the annual
meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy
at that time.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 2, 2006
TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
The annual meeting of stockholders of Allergan, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Allergan or the Company),
will be held at the Irvine Marriott Hotel, 18000 Von Karman
Avenue, Irvine, California, on Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at
10:00 a.m., local time, for the following purposes:
|
|
|
|
1. |
To elect four Class II directors to serve for three-year
terms until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2009 and until
their successors are elected and qualified; |
|
|
2. |
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm for
fiscal year 2006; |
|
|
3. |
To approve an amendment to the Companys 2003 Non-employee
Director Equity Incentive Plan that will i) authorize an
additional 350,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock for issuance under the plan, ii) eliminate the
current restriction that only up to 250,000 shares
available for issuance under the plan may be issued in the form
of restricted stock awards and provide that all shares available
under the plan may be issued in the form of stock options or
restricted stock, and iii) increase the annual grant of stock
options to non-employee directors of the Company to 4,500 from
2,500; |
|
|
4. |
To approve the Allergan, Inc. 2006 Executive Bonus
Plan; and |
|
|
5. |
To transact such other business as may properly come before the
annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. |
The Board of Directors has fixed March 15, 2006 as the
record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice
of and to vote at the annual meeting and, consequently, only
stockholders whose names appeared on the Companys books as
owning the Companys common stock at the close of business
on March 15, 2006 will be entitled to notice of and to vote
at the annual meeting and any adjournment or postponement
thereof.
ALL STOCKHOLDERS ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL
MEETING IN PERSON. It is important that your shares of common
stock be represented and voted at the annual meeting. Whether or
not you expect to attend the annual meeting, please complete,
date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card as promptly as
possible in order to ensure your representation at the annual
meeting. Should you receive more than one proxy card because
your shares of common stock are held in multiple accounts or
registered in different names or addresses, please sign, date
and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares of
common stock are voted. A postage-prepaid envelope is enclosed
for that purpose. You may also vote your proxy by calling the
toll-free telephone number shown on your proxy card or by
visiting the Internet website address shown on your proxy card.
Your proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the annual
meeting. If you attend the annual meeting and vote by ballot,
any proxy that you previously submitted will be revoked
automatically and only your vote at the annual meeting will be
counted. However, if your shares of common stock are held of
record by a broker, bank or other nominee, your vote in person
at the annual meeting will not be effective unless you have
obtained and present a proxy issued in your name from the record
holder.

ALLERGAN, INC.
2525 Dupont Drive, Irvine, California 92612
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD MAY 2, 2006
PROXY STATEMENT
Solicitation of Proxies by Allergans Board of
Directors
The Board of Directors (the Board) of Allergan, Inc.
(Allergan or the Company) is soliciting
proxies to be used at the Companys Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, to be held at the Irvine Marriott Hotel,
18000 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, California, on
Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at 10:00 a.m., local time, and at
any adjournment or postponement thereof (the Annual
Meeting). This proxy statement, the enclosed form of proxy
and the Companys 2005 Annual Report to Stockholders are
being mailed to the Companys stockholders on or about
March 27, 2006.
Who Can Vote, Outstanding Shares
Record holders of the Companys common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the Common Stock), as of
March 15, 2006 (the Record Date), may vote at
the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were
133,660,328 shares of Common Stock (exclusive of
approximately 998,939 shares of Common Stock held in
treasury) outstanding, each entitled to one vote. The shares of
Common Stock held in the Companys treasury will not be
voted at the Annual Meeting. There were approximately 6,192
stockholders of record as of the Record Date.
How You Can Vote
Stockholders of record on the Record Date are eligible to vote
at the Annual Meeting using one of four methods:
|
|
|
|
|
Voting in Person. To vote in person, you must attend the
Annual Meeting and follow the procedures for voting announced at
the Annual Meeting; |
|
|
|
Voting by Mail. To vote by mail, simply mark the enclosed
proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid
envelope provided; |
|
|
|
Voting by Telephone. To vote by telephone, call the
toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card; or |
|
|
|
Voting by Internet. To vote via the Internet, use the
website indicated on the enclosed proxy card, which is available
24 hours a day. |
The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to
authenticate the stockholders identity and to allow
stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their
voting instructions have been properly recorded. Specific
instructions are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. In order
to be timely processed, an Internet or telephone vote must be
received by 11:59 a.m. Central Standard Time on May 1,
2006. If you vote via the Internet or by telephone, you may
incur costs such as usage charges from telephone companies or
Internet service providers and you must bear these costs. Please
note that while all stockholders of record on the Record Date
may vote in person or by mail, certain banks and brokerages do
not allow for voting by telephone or via the Internet.
Regardless of the method you choose, your vote is important.
Please vote by following the specific instructions on your proxy
card.
How You May Revoke or Change Your Vote
Any stockholder has the power to revoke his or her proxy at any
time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by:
|
|
|
|
|
delivering a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of
the Company at or before the Annual Meeting; |
|
|
|
presenting to the Secretary of the Company at or before the
Annual Meeting a later dated proxy executed by the person who
executed the prior proxy; or |
|
|
|
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. |
Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a
proxy. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy may
be sent to Allergan, Inc., Attn: Secretary,
2525 Dupont Drive, P.O. Box 19534, Irvine,
California 92623, or hand delivered to the Secretary of the
Company at or before the voting at the Annual Meeting.
General Information on Voting
Each share of Common Stock represented by each properly
executed, unrevoked proxy received in time for the Annual
Meeting will be voted in the manner specified therein. If the
manner of voting is not specified in an executed proxy received
by the Company, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of each
of the four director nominees, FOR the ratification of the
appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year
2006, FOR the approval of the amendment to the Allergan, Inc.
2003 Non-employee Director Equity Incentive Plan, and FOR the
approval of the Allergan, Inc. 2006 Executive Bonus Plan. As to
any other business that may properly come before the Annual
Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will
vote in accordance with their best judgment, although the
Company does not presently know of any other business.
Brokers holding shares of record for customers are not entitled
to vote on certain matters unless they receive voting
instructions from their customers. Uninstructed shares result
when shares are held by a broker who has not received
instructions from its customer on such matters and the broker
has so notified the Company on a proxy form in accordance with
industry practice or has otherwise advised the Company that it
lacks voting authority. As used herein, broker
non-votes means the votes that could have been cast on the
matter in question by brokers with respect to uninstructed
shares if the brokers had received their customers
instructions.
Quorum and Required Vote
The inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting will
tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting.
The inspector of elections will also determine whether or not a
quorum is present. In order to constitute a quorum for the
conduct of business at the Annual Meeting, a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting must be present or represented by proxy at the
Annual Meeting. Shares that abstain from voting on any proposal,
or that are represented by broker non-votes, will be treated as
shares that are present and entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
For purposes of Proposal 1, directors are elected by a
plurality vote and the four nominees who receive the most votes
will be elected. Abstentions will not affect the outcome of the
election of the nominees to the Board. The election of directors
is a matter on which a broker or other nominee is empowered to
vote. Accordingly, no broker non-votes will result from this
proposal.
Approval of Proposal 2, ratifying the appointment of Ernst
& Young LLP for fiscal year 2006, requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of shares present at the meeting, in person
or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions
on Proposal 2 will have the same effect as a vote against
Proposal 2. The approval of Proposal 2 is a routine
proposal on which a broker or other nominee is empowered to
vote. Accordingly, no broker non-votes will result from this
proposal.
2
Approval of Proposal 3, the amendment to the Allergan, Inc. 2003
Non-Employee Director Equity Incentive Plan, is governed by New
York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) listing standards,
which require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the shares of common stock cast on such proposal, in person
or by proxy, provided that the votes cast on the proposal
represent over 50% of the total outstanding shares of common
stock entitled to vote on the proposal. Under this standard,
votes for and against and abstentions
count as votes cast, while broker non-votes do not count as
votes cast. All outstanding shares on the Record Date, including
shares resulting in broker non-votes, count as shares entitled
to vote. Thus, the total sum of votes for, votes
against, and abstentions, which sum is referred to
as the NYSE Votes Cast, must be greater than 50% of
the total outstanding shares of common stock. Once satisfied,
the number of votes for the proposal must be greater
than 50% of the NYSE Votes Cast. Abstentions on Proposal 3 will
have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3. The amendment of
an equity plan is a matter on which brokers or other nominees
are not empowered to vote without direction from the beneficial
owner. Thus, broker non-votes can result from Proposal 3 and may
make it difficult to satisfy the NYSE Votes Cast requirement.
Approval of Proposal 4, approval of the Allergan, Inc. 2006
Executive Bonus Plan, requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of shares present at the meeting, in person or by
proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions on
Proposal 4 will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal
4. The approval of Proposal 4 is a routine proposal on which a
broker or other nominee is empowered to vote. Accordingly, no
broker non-votes will result from this proposal.
Costs of Solicitation
The total cost of this solicitation will be borne by the
Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, officers and
employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, by
facsimile or in person. The Company has retained Georgeson
Shareholder Communications, Inc. to assist in the solicitation
of proxies for a fee not to exceed $9,000.00, plus the
reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses.
The Company will reimburse brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and
other custodians for reasonable expenses incurred by them in
sending proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of
the Common Stock.
Confidentiality
It is the Companys policy that all proxies, ballots and
voting materials that identify the particular vote of a
stockholder be kept confidential, except in the following
circumstances:
|
|
|
|
|
to allow the independent inspector of elections appointed for
the Annual Meeting to certify the results of the vote; |
|
|
|
as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, including
the pursuit or defense of a judicial action; |
|
|
|
where the Company concludes in good faith that a bona fide
dispute exists as to the authenticity of one or more proxies,
ballots or votes, or as to the accuracy of the tabulation of
such proxies, ballots or votes; |
|
|
|
where a stockholder expressly requests disclosure or has made a
written comment on a proxy card; |
|
|
|
where contacting stockholders by the Company is necessary to
obtain a quorum, the names of stockholders who have or have not
voted (but not how they voted) may be disclosed to the Company
by the independent inspector of elections appointed for the
Annual Meeting; |
|
|
|
aggregate vote totals may be disclosed to the Company from time
to time and publicly announced at the meeting of stockholders at
which they are relevant; and |
|
|
|
in the event of any solicitation of proxies or written consents
with respect to any of the securities of the Company by a person
other than the Company of which solicitation the Company has
actual notice. |

Proposal No. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board currently consists of 11 members and is divided into
three classes with each class consisting, as nearly as possible,
of one third of the whole number of the Board. There are
currently 3 Class I directors, 4 Class II
directors and 4 Class III directors. At each annual
meeting, the directors elected by stockholders to succeed
directors whose terms are expiring are identified as being of
the same class as those directors they succeed and are elected
for a term to expire at the third annual meeting after their
election and until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. The Board appoints directors to fill vacancies on the
Board, as they occur, as well as newly created directorships. A
director appointed to fill a vacancy is appointed to the same
class as the director he or she succeeds or the class of the
created directorship as determined by the Board. Newly-appointed
directors hold office until the next election by the
stockholders of the class to which such director is appointed.
Upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee,
the Board has nominated each of the following persons to serve
as a Class II director of the Company for a three-year term
expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2009. Each of
the nominees for election currently serves as a director of the
Company, has consented to serve for a new term and was elected
by the stockholders of the Company to his present term of
office, except for Mr. Ingram, who was appointed to the
Board to fill a vacancy in January 2005.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF
EACH OF THE FOUR NAMED DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
Although it is anticipated that each nominee will be able to
serve as a director, should any nominee become unavailable to
serve, the shares of Common Stock represented by the proxies
will be voted for such other person or persons as may be
designated by the Board, unless the Board reduces the number of
directors accordingly. As of the date of this proxy
statement, the Board is not aware of any nominee who is unable
or will decline to serve as a director.
Information About Nominees and Other Directors
Set forth below are descriptions of the backgrounds of each
nominee as well as the other Board members and their principal
occupations for at least the past five years and their
public-company directorships as of the Record Date.

Proposal No. 2
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for the
appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work
of the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm. On June 24, 2005, the Audit and Finance Committee
approved and effectuated the dismissal of KPMG LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm,
and approved and effectuated the engagement of Ernst &
Young LLP as the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm to perform the independent audit, review and
attest services with respect to the Companys financial
statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
The Audit and Finance Committee has also selected
Ernst & Young LLP as the
7
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company
for 2006. The Audit and Finance Committee considered whether
Ernst & Young LLPs provision of services other
than audit services is compatible with maintaining independence
as the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm.
Although ratification by stockholders is not a prerequisite to
the ability of the Audit and Finance Committee to select
Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm, the Company believes such
ratification to be desirable. Accordingly, stockholders are
being requested to ratify, confirm and approve the selection of
Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of
the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2006. If the
stockholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst &
Young LLP, the selection of independent registered public
accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit and Finance
Committee; however, the Audit and Finance Committee may select
Ernst & Young LLP notwithstanding the failure of the
stockholders to ratify its selection. The Audit and Finance
Committee believes ratification is advisable and in the best
interests of the stockholders. If the appointment of
Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Audit and Finance
Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of
Ernst & Young LLPs scope of engagement, pricing
and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right
to replace Ernst & Young LLP at any time.

The audit report of KPMG LLP on the Companys consolidated
balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004 did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles, except that KPMG LLPs audit report
referred to above contains an explanatory paragraph that
describes the Companys adoption of Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) No. 04-08, The Effect of
8
Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings Per
Share, in 2004 and the Companys change of its methodology
of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets in 2002, both
discussed in note 1 to the Companys consolidated
financial statements. The audit report of KPMG LLP on
managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 contained in the Companys 2004
annual report on Form 10-K did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified.
In connection with the audits of the two most recent fiscal
years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
and in the subsequent unaudited interim period through
June 24, 2005, there were no (1) disagreements between
the Company and KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to KPMG LLPs satisfaction, would have caused
KPMG LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in its report, or (2) reportable events
described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K. A
letter from KPMG LLP is attached to the
Form 8-K filed by
the Company on June 30, 2005 as Exhibit 16, indicating
KPMG LLPs agreement to the statements made therein.
In deciding to select Ernst & Young LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm,
the Audit and Finance Committee reviewed auditor independence
issues and existing commercial relationships with
Ernst & Young LLP and concluded that Ernst &
Young LLP has no commercial relationship with the Company that
would impair its independence.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31,
2004 and December 31, 2003, and the subsequent unaudited
interim period through June 24, 2005, the Company did not
consult with Ernst & Young LLP regarding any of the
matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and
(ii) of
Regulation S-K.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
Independence and Attendance at the Annual Meeting
The Audit and Finance Committee has considered whether the
provision of the above noted services by Ernst & Young
LLP is compatible with maintaining the independent registered
public accounting firms independence and has determined
that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young
LLP has not adversely affected the independent registered public
accounting firms independence.
Ernst & Young LLP, the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm, audited the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005. Representatives of Ernst &
Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will
have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Policy on Audit and Finance Committee Pre-Approval
As part of its duties, the Audit and Finance Committee is
required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed
by the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does
not impair the independent registered public accounting
firms independence. In January 2005, the Audit and
Finance Committee adopted a revised policy for the pre-approval
of audit and non-audit services rendered by the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm. The policy
generally provides that services in the defined categories of
audit services, audit-related services, tax services and all
other services, are deemed pre-approved up to specified amounts,
and sets requirements for specific case-by-case pre-approval of
discrete projects that are not otherwise pre-approved or for
services over the pre-approved amounts. Pre-approval may be
given as part of the Audit and Finance Committees approval
of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered
public accounting firm or on an individual basis. The
pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the
Audit and Finance Committees members, but the decision
must be presented to the full Audit and Finance Committee at its
next scheduled meeting. The policy prohibits retention of the
independent registered public accounting firm to perform the
prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC), and also
considers whether proposed services are compatible with the
independence of the independent registered public accounting
firm. All services provided by the Companys
9
independent registered public accounting firms in 2005 were
pre-approved in accordance with the Audit and Finance
Committees pre-approval requirements.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF
ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2006.
Proposal No. 3
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ALLERGAN, INC.
2003 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
General
On January 30, 2003, the Board adopted the Allergan, Inc.
2003 Non-employee Director Equity Incentive Plan (the
Director Plan) as a means to attract and retain the
services of experienced and knowledgeable non-employee directors
to serve on the Board and to increase the proprietary interests
of the Companys non-employee directors in the Company. The
Companys stockholders approved the Director Plan on
April 25, 2003.
The Board has approved an amendment to the Director Plan,
subject to approval by the Companys stockholders. The
proposed amendment will modify the Director Plan to:
|
|
|
|
|
increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Director Plan from 500,000 shares to
850,000 shares; |
|
|
|
eliminate the current restriction that only up to
250,000 shares available for issuance under the Director
Plan may be issued in the form of restricted stock awards and
provide that all shares available under the Director Plan may be
issued in the form of stock options or restricted stock; and |
|
|
|
increase the annual grant of nonqualified stock options to
non-employee directors to an option to purchase
4,500 shares of Common Stock from an option to purchase
2,500 shares of Common Stock, beginning with the Annual
Meeting. |
As of March 15, 2006, there were only approximately
25,610 shares of Common Stock remaining available for grant
as restricted stock awards and approximately 185,000 total
shares of Common Stock remaining available for grant as stock
options under the Director Plan. Presuming that the proposed
amendment to the Director Plan is approved by the Companys
stockholders and based on the current number of the
Companys non-employee directors, on the date of the Annual
Meeting, 21,600 restricted shares will be automatically awarded
and 45,000 option shares will be automatically granted to
non-employee directors under the Director Plan. If the
Companys stockholders fail to approve the amendment to the
Director Plan, the option grants will be made at current levels,
and the full amount of annual automatic restricted stock awards
will not be able to be made on and after the date of the annual
meeting of stockholders in 2007.
The primary purpose of the proposed amendments to the Director
Plan is to enable the Company to continue to provide a total
package of non-employee director compensation competitive with
comparable publicly-traded companies. A description of the
principal features of the Director Plan, as proposed to be
amended, is set forth below. This summary description is
qualified by and subject to the actual provisions of the
amendment to the Director Plan attached as Appendix A
to this proxy statement.
Purpose And Eligibility
The purpose of the Director Plan is to enable the Company to
attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable
non-employee directors and to align further their interests with
those of the stockholders of the Company by providing for or
increasing the proprietary interests of the non-employee
directors in the Company. The Director Plan provides for
automatic grants of nonqualified stock options and restricted
stock awards. Only Board members who are not employees of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries
10
are eligible to receive awards under the Director Plan. As of
March 15, 2006, the Company had 10 non-employee directors.
Stock Available For Issuance Under the Director Plan
The shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the Director
Plan are made available, at the discretion of the Board, either
from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or from
shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares,
including shares purchased in the open market. Prior to
amendment of the Director Plan, the total number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to
awards under the Director Plan may not exceed
500,000 shares, of which no more than 250,000 shares
may be issued or transferred pursuant to restricted stock
awards. The proposed amendment to the Director Plan will
increase the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Director Plan
to 850,000 shares and will eliminate the 250,000 share
limitation on the number of restricted stock awards that may be
granted under the Director Plan. Accordingly, upon effectiveness
of the proposed amendment, all shares available under the
Director Plan may be issued in the form of stock options or
restricted stock, subject to the limitation that only
850,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the
Director Plan.
If, on or before termination of the Director Plan, an option for
any reason expires or otherwise terminates, in whole or in part,
without having been exercised in full, or if any shares of
Common Stock subject to an award have been reacquired by the
Company pursuant to the restrictions imposed on such shares,
such option or shares, as the case may be, are no longer charged
against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued under the Director Plan.
The number and kind of shares issuable under the Director Plan,
the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, the
grant or exercise price with respect to any award, and the
repurchase price, if any, with respect to any award, will be
appropriately and proportionately adjusted to reflect mergers,
consolidations, sales or exchanges of all or substantially all
of the properties of the Company, reorganizations,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, stock dividends, stock
splits, reverse stock splits, spin-offs or other distributions
with respect to such shares of Common Stock (or any stock or
securities received with respect to such Common Stock).
On March 15, 2006 the closing market price of the Common
Stock was $115.35 per share.
Administration, Amendment And Termination
The Director Plan is administered by the Board. The Board, in
its sole discretion, may at any time and from time to time
delegate all or any part of the authority, powers and discretion
of the Board under the Director Plan to a committee of three or
more persons ineligible to participate in the Director Plan.
The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or
terminate the Director Plan in any respect whatsoever at any
time (including, but not limited to, the power to amend the
number of shares subject to awards granted under the Director
Plan), except to the extent prohibited by law. However,
stockholder approval is required for an amendment to increase
the maximum number of shares authorized under the Director Plan
or, except for specified adjustments, to amend a stock option to
reduce the per share exercise price of the stock option below
the per share exercise price as of the date the stock option is
granted or to grant a stock option in exchange for, or in
connection with, the cancellation or surrender of a stock option
having a higher per share exercise price.
Restricted Stock Awards
Under the Director Plan, upon election, reelection or
appointment of a non-employee director to the Board, the
non-employee director is automatically granted an award
consisting of 1,800 shares of restricted stock multiplied
by the number of years, including any partial year as a full
year, that remain in the term of the person so elected,
reelected or appointed. Such award is made on the date of the
first regular annual meeting of stockholders to occur on or
after the date of such election, reelection or appointment, as
applicable. Thus,
11
given the three-year terms of the Companys directors, each
director re-elected at an annual meeting is automatically
awarded 5,400 shares of restricted stock.
Participants under the Director Plan are not required to pay any
purchase price for the shares of Common Stock to be acquired
pursuant to a restricted stock award, unless otherwise required
under applicable law or regulations. Recipients of restricted
stock are entitled to vote and to receive dividends on the
shares subject to the award from the original date through the
vesting date (at which time the recipient receives unrestricted
ownership of the shares).
The restricted shares awarded under the Director Plan (including
any shares received as a result of stock dividends, stock splits
or any other form of recapitalization) may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of, alienated or encumbered until such restrictions
have lapsed, as described below. Such shares are also subject to
a requirement that certificates representing the shares must
contain a restrictive legend.
The Director Plan provides that as of the date of each annual
meeting of stockholders following the date of a restricted stock
award, the vesting restrictions lapse and are removed with
respect to 1,800, or one-third, of the shares covered by the
restricted stock award. In the event that a recipient of a
restricted stock award under the Director Plan ceases to be a
director for any reason other than death or total disability,
all unvested shares acquired under the Director Plan by such
recipient must be returned to the Company. If a recipient of a
restricted stock award under the Director Plan ceases to be a
director because of death or total disability, the vesting
restrictions lapse and are removed with respect to all shares
acquired by that recipient pursuant to the Director Plan.
Option Grants
Under the Director Plan, each non-employee director is
automatically granted an option to purchase shares of Common
Stock on the date of each regular annual meeting of stockholders
of the Company at which directors are to be elected. The
proposed amendment to the Director Plan increases the annual
grant of nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors to
an option to purchase 4,500 shares of Common Stock
from an option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common
Stock, beginning with the Annual Meeting.
The options granted under the Director Plan are nonqualified
stock options and have an exercise price per share equal to the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of
grant, as determined by the closing price on the NYSE on the
previous trading day. Each option becomes fully vested and
exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of its
grant. In the event that a holder ceases to be director of the
Company by reason of death or total disability, such
holders options become fully vested and exercisable
immediately. No option may be exercised after the first to occur
of:
|
|
|
|
|
the expiration of three months from the date the holder ceases
to serve as a director of the Company by reason of such
holders voluntary resignation or removal for cause; |
|
|
|
the expiration of one year from the date the holder ceases to
serve as a director of the Company other than by reason of such
holders voluntary resignation or removal for cause; or |
|
|
|
the expiration of 10 years from the date of its grant. |
Change in Control
In the event of a change in control of the Company,
all restricted stock and option awards outstanding under the
Director Plan will become fully vested. A change in
control for this purpose occurs if:
|
|
|
|
|
any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more
of the Companys outstanding voting securities (unless a
majority of the incumbent Board members approve the acquisition)
or more than 33% of the Companys outstanding voting
securities, with or without approval by the incumbent members of
the Board; |
12
|
|
|
|
|
incumbent Board members cease to constitute at least a majority
of the Board (except for changes approved by a majority of the
incumbent directors); |
|
|
|
a merger or other business combination involving the Company is
completed (other than a merger or other transaction in which
(A) the Companys stock continues to represent at
least 55% of the combined voting power of the surviving
corporation and (B) no person or group becomes a 20% or more
beneficial owner of Company voting securities); or |
|
|
|
a plan of complete liquidation or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Companys assets is approved by
the Companys stockholders. |
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief description of the U.S. federal
income tax treatment that will generally apply to restricted
stock awards and option grants made under the Director Plan,
based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect on the date
of this proxy statement. Directors who participate in the
Director Plan are advised to consult with their own tax advisors
for particular federal, as well as state and local, income and
any other tax advice.
Unless a recipient makes an election under Section 83(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code), within 30 days after receiving
the restricted stock award, the recipient generally will not be
taxed on the receipt of the stock until the restrictions on the
stock expire or are removed. When the restrictions expire or are
removed, the recipient recognizes ordinary income (and the
Company is entitled to a deduction) in an amount equal to the
fair market value of the stock at that time. If, however, the
recipient makes a timely Section 83(b) election, he or she
will recognize ordinary income (and the Company will be entitled
to a deduction) equal to the fair market value of the stock on
the date of receipt (determined without regard to vesting
restrictions). A director who makes a
Section 83(b) election will ordinarily not be entitled
to recognize any loss thereafter attributable to the shares as a
result of forfeiture.
The grant of a nonstatutory stock option generally is not a
taxable event for the optionee. Upon exercise of the option, the
optionee will generally recognize ordinary income in an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock
acquired upon exercise (determined as of the date of the
exercise) over the exercise price of such option, and the
Company will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to such amount.

The dollar value of the options will be measured by the
difference between the Common Stock price and the exercise price
on the date the options are exercised. The exercise price of
such options will be equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant. The options will become
exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.
Accordingly, the dollar value of the options was not
determinable at the time of mailing of this proxy statement. |

Mr. Lavigne was appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy in
July 2005. If the proposed amendment to the Director Plan is
approved, Mr. Lavigne will be awarded 5,400 shares of
restricted stock with the restrictions as to 1,800 shares
lapsing immediately. |

The dollar value of each grant of restricted stock to each
non-employee director is not determinable until Allergan has
made such grant, which, in the event Allergans
stockholders approve the proposed amendment to the Director Plan
at the Annual Meeting, will be on May 2, 2006. Values shown
assume that the restricted stock grant occurred on
December 30, 2005 and therefore had a per share value equal
to $107.96, the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on
December 30, 2005. The grant of restricted stock to
participants under the Director Plan vests over 3 years in
1,800 share increments per year. Participants are not
required to pay any purchase price for the Common Stock to be
acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, unless otherwise
required under applicable law or regulations. If the proposed
amendment to the Director Plan is approved, only those
Class II non-employee directors standing for election at
the Annual Meeting will receive a grant of restricted stock. The
remaining non-employee directors will receive grants of
restricted stock at the annual meeting of stockholders for the
year in which they are re-elected to the Board. |
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ALLERGAN, INC. 2003 NON-EMPLOYEE
DIRECTOR EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.
Proposal No. 4
APPROVAL OF THE ALLERGAN, INC. 2006 EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
On January 30, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the
adoption of the 2006 Executive Bonus Plan (the Executive
Bonus Plan), subject to approval by the Companys
stockholders. The Executive Bonus Plan
14
replaces the bonus plan for the Chief Executive Officer approved
by the Companys stockholders in 1999, and authorizes the
Organization and Compensation Committee to establish annual
bonus programs based on specified performance objectives. If the
Executive Bonus Plan is not approved by the Companys
stockholders, no bonus payments will be made pursuant to the
Executive Bonus Plan, including bonus payments that may
otherwise have become payable upon the achievement of certain
performance goals established by the Organization and
Compensation Committee at its January 30, 2006 meeting. The
Company may, from time to time, also pay discretionary bonuses,
or other types of compensation, outside the Executive Bonus Plan
which may or may not be tax deductible.
The following summary of the terms of the Executive Bonus Plan
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the
Executive Bonus Plan, which is attached as Appendix B
to this proxy statement.
Eligibility
Participation in the Executive Bonus Plan is limited to the
Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company.
History
The Board, following the recommendation of the Organization and
Compensation Committee, approved the Executive Bonus Plan as a
separate plan for the Chief Executive Officers and
Presidents bonuses at a meeting held on January 30,
2006, subject to approval by the Companys stockholders.
The Organization and Compensation Committee has established
performance objectives, targets and maximum bonus amounts that
may become payable under the Executive Bonus Plan based on the
achievement of such performance objectives, subject to approval
of the Executive Bonus Plan by the Companys stockholders.
The Executive Bonus Plan replaces the bonus plan for the Chief
Executive Officer approved by the Companys stockholders in
1999.
Purpose
The purpose of the Executive Bonus Plan is to motivate its
participants to achieve specified performance objectives and to
reward them when those objectives are met with bonuses that are
intended to be deductible to the maximum extent possible as
performance-based compensation within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code.
Administration
The Executive Bonus Plan will be administered by the
Organization and Compensation Committee, or such other committee
as may be appointed by the Board consisting solely of two or
more directors, each of whom is intended to qualify as an
outside director within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code. All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations relating to the Executive
Bonus Plan made by the Organization and Compensation Committee
or the Board in good faith will be binding and final.
Performance Objectives
The Organization and Compensation Committee may, in its
discretion, establish the specific performance objectives
(including any adjustments) that must be achieved in order for
the Chief Executive Officer or the President to become eligible
to receive a bonus award payment. The performance objectives
(including any adjustments) will be established in writing by
the Organization and Compensation Committee no later than the
earlier of (i) the ninetieth day following the commencement
of the period of service to which the performance goals relate
or (ii) the date preceding the date on which 25% of the
period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the
performance objectives are established) has elapsed; provided
that the achievement of such goals must be substantially
uncertain at the time such goals are established in writing. For
each calendar year with regard to which one or more eligible
participants in the Executive Bonus Plan is selected by the
Organization and Compensation Committee to receive a bonus
award, the Organization and Compensation Committee will
establish in writing one or more objectively determinable
performance
15
objectives for such bonus award, based upon one or more of the
following business criteria, any of which may be measured in
absolute terms, as compared to any incremental increase or as
compared to the results of a peer group:
|
|
|
|
|
revenue; |
|
|
|
sales; |
|
|
|
cash flow; |
|
|
|
earnings per share of the Common Stock (including earnings
before any one or more of the following: (i) interest,
(ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation, and
(iv) amortization); |
|
|
|
return on equity; |
|
|
|
total stockholder return; |
|
|
|
return on capital; |
|
|
|
return on assets or net assets; |
|
|
|
income or net income; |
|
|
|
operating income or net operating income; |
|
|
|
operating profit or net operating profit; |
|
|
|
operating margin; |
|
|
|
cost reductions or savings; |
|
|
|
research and development expenses (including research and
development expenses as a percentage of sales or revenues); |
|
|
|
working capital; and |
|
|
|
market share. |
The performance objectives may be expressed in terms of overall
Company performance or the performance of a business function or
business unit. The Organization and Compensation Committee, in
its discretion, may specify different performance objectives for
each bonus award granted under the Executive Bonus Plan.
Following the end of the year in which the performance
objectives are to be achieved, the Organization and Compensation
Committee will, within the time prescribed by
Section 162(m) of the Code, determine whether and to what
extent the specified performance objective has been achieved for
the applicable year.
Adjustments to the Performance Objectives
For each bonus award granted under the Executive Bonus Plan, the
Organization and Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may,
at the time of grant, specify in the bonus award that one or
more objectively determinable adjustments will be made to one or
more of the performance objectives established under the
criteria discussed above. Such adjustments may include or
exclude one or more of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
items that are extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent
in occurrence; |
|
|
|
items related to a change in accounting principle; |
|
|
|
items related to financing activities; |
|
|
|
expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; |
|
|
|
other non-operating items; |
|
|
|
items related to acquisitions; |
16
|
|
|
|
|
items attributable to the business operations of any entity
acquired by the Company during the year; |
|
|
|
items related to the disposal of a business or segment of a
business; |
|
|
|
items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as
a segment of a business under GAAP; and |
|
|
|
any other items of income or expense which are determined to be
appropriate adjustments. |
Awards
Under the Executive Bonus Plan, the Chief Executive Officer and
the President will be eligible to receive awards based upon the
Companys performance against the targeted performance
objectives established by the Organization and Compensation
Committee. If and to the extent the performance objectives are
met, the Chief Executive Officer and the President will be
eligible to receive a bonus award to be determined by the
Organization and Compensation Committee based on a percentage of
such officers year-end annualized base salary.
Maximum Award; Negative Discretion
The maximum bonus payment that either the Chief Executive
Officer or the President may receive under the Executive Bonus
Plan for any year is $5,000,000. The Executive Bonus Plan,
however, is not the exclusive means for the Organization and
Compensation Committee to award incentive compensation to the
Chief Executive Officer or the President and does not limit the
Organization and Compensation Committee from making additional
discretionary incentive awards. The Organization and
Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may reduce or
eliminate the bonus amount otherwise payable to the Chief
Executive Officer or the President under the Executive Bonus
Plan.
Form of Payment
The Chief Executive Officers or the Presidents bonus
award may be paid, at the option of the Organization and
Compensation Committee, in cash or in Common Stock or rights to
receive Common Stock, such as restricted stock or restricted
stock units, or in any combination of cash, Common Stock, or
rights to receive Common Stock. Bonus award payments made in
Common Stock, or rights to receive Common Stock, will be made in
accordance with the provisions of the Companys 1989
Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, or any successor plan.
On March 15, 2006, the closing price for the Common Stock,
as quoted on the NYSE, was $115.35 per share.
Termination of Employment
If either the Chief Executive Officers or the
Presidents employment with the Company is terminated,
except as part of a Change in Control (as defined in the
Executive Bonus Plan, a Change in Control) or by
reason of such participants death or disability, prior to
payment of any bonus award, all of such participants
rights under the Executive Bonus Plan will terminate and such
participant will not have any right to receive any further
payments from any bonus award granted under the Executive Bonus
Plan. The Organization and Compensation Committee may, in its
discretion, determine what portion, if any, of the Chief
Executive Officers or the Presidents bonus award
under the Executive Bonus Plan should be paid if the termination
results from such participants death or disability.
Amendment and Termination
The Organization and Compensation Committee or the Board may
terminate the Executive Bonus Plan or partially amend or
otherwise modify or suspend the Executive Bonus Plan at any time
or from time to time, subject to any stockholder approval
requirements under Section 162(m) the Code or other
requirements. However, with respect to bonus awards that the
Organization and Compensation Committee determines should
qualify as performance-based compensation as described in
Section 162(m) of the Code, no action of the Board or the
Organization and Compensation Committee may modify the
performance objectives (or
17
adjustments) applicable to any outstanding bonus award, to the
extent such modification would cause the bonus award to fail to
qualify as performance-based compensation.
Change in Control
If a Change in Control occurs following the end of any year,
bonus awards will be paid to the extent earned based on the
performance of the Company in relation to the specified
performance objectives set by the Organization and Compensation
Committee for such prior year. If a Change in Control occurs
during any year in which the Chief Executive Officer or the
President are eligible to receive a bonus award under the
Executive Bonus Plan, such bonus awards for that year will be
prorated to the effective date of the Change in Control and all
performance objectives set by the Organization and Compensation
Committee will be deemed to be met at the greater of 100% of the
performance objective or the Companys actual prorated
year-to date performance, provided that the participant
continues to be employed by the Company or its successor on the
effective date of the Change in Control.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
Under present U.S. federal income tax law, a participant
generally will recognize ordinary income at the time such
participant receives cash or shares of Common Stock pursuant to
an award under the Executive Bonus Plan (or upon the subsequent
vesting of such stock, if the participant receives unvested
shares). Subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Company is generally entitled to a tax deduction
at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income
attributable to an award under the Executive Bonus Plan.
Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits the
deductibility of non-qualifying compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 paid to covered employees, including the Chief
Executive Officer and the President. However,
Section 162(m) exempts qualifying performance based
compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements
are met. The Executive Bonus Plan is intended to satisfy these
requirements. The Organization and Compensation Committees
policy is to maximize the tax deductibility of executive
compensation without compromising the essential framework of the
existing total compensation program. However, the Organization
and Compensation Committee may elect to forgo deductibility for
federal income tax purposes if such action is, in the opinion of
the Organization and Compensation Committee, necessary or
appropriate to further the goals of the Companys executive
compensation program, or otherwise is in the Companys best
interests.
New Plan Benefits
All future bonus awards under the Executive Bonus Plan for a
given year are subject to the performance objectives and targets
established by the Organization and Compensation Committee for
such year in accordance with the terms of the Executive Bonus
Plan, and the Companys relative performance against such
targets. Accordingly, future benefits payable under the
Executive Bonus Plan to the Chief Executive Officer and the
President are not currently determinable. The bonus awarded to
the Chief Executive Officer for 2005 under the Companys
current bonus plan is set forth in this proxy statement.
The Organization and Compensation Committee has determined that
the bonuses (if any) payable to the Chief Executive Officer and
the President under the Executive Bonus Plan for 2006 will be
based (in the event stockholder approval of the Executive Bonus
Plan is obtained) on the following performance objectives:
(i) attainment of targeted 2006 adjusted earnings per
share, rounded to the nearest penny; (ii) attainment of
targeted 2006 revenue growth, adjusted for the translation
effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and excluding the
Companys
Botox®
product net sales reported by the Companys Japan
subsidiary for 2005, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one
percent; and (iii) attainment of targeted 2006 research and
development reinvestment rate rounded to the nearest
one-hundredth of one percent (the Performance
Objectives). For any bonus to be payable under the
Executive Bonus Plan, the Companys 2006 adjusted earnings
per share must be greater than an adjusted earnings per share
threshold set by the Organization and Compensation Committee.
The Chief Executive Officers target bonus for 2006 is 120%
of his year-end annualized base salary, and the Presidents
target bonus for 2006 is 70% of his year-end annualized base
salary. The actual bonus award payable will be from 0% to 160%
of the target bonus based on the Companys relative
attainment of the Performance Objectives and subject to the
discretion of the Organization and Compensation
18
Committee to reduce the amount payable. Therefore, the Chief
Executive Officer has the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to
192% of his year-end annualized base salary, and the President
has the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to 112% of his
year-end annualized base salary. Bonuses for 2006 will be paid
in cash up to a maximum bonus pool of 100% of the bonus targets.
Bonuses for 2006 will be paid in restricted stock and restricted
stock units to the extent the bonus pool exceeds 100% of the
bonus targets. Such restricted stock or restricted stock units
will provide for cliff vesting two years following the award
effective date or, if earlier, upon the date the participant
becomes eligible for normal retirement or the date
of the participants death or total disability. For such
purposes, a participant will become eligible for normal
retirement upon the later of (i) the date the
participant reaches age 55, or (ii) the date the
participant has been employed by the Company for five years.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Director Independence
The Companys Bylaws and its Guidelines on Significant
Corporate Governance Issues (the Guidelines) require
that a majority of the Companys directors meet the
criteria for independence set forth under applicable securities
laws, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable rules
and regulations of the NYSE. The NYSE Listed Company Manual and
corresponding listing standards provide that, in order to be
considered independent, the Board must determine that a director
has no material relationship with the Company other than as a
director. The Board has reviewed the relationships between each
Board member and each such directors immediate family
members and the Company. Based on its review, the Board has
affirmatively determined that, with the exception of
Dr. Boyer and Messrs. Pyott, Ingram and Schaeffer,
none of the Companys current directors, including
Dr. Ryan, Prof. Jones, and Messrs. Evans, Gallagher,
Herbert, Lavigne and Ray, have any relationship with the Company
other than as a director and each is independent
within the foregoing independence standards. The Board has also
determined that Dr. Boyer and Messrs. Ingram and
Schaeffer are independent within the foregoing
standards.
In making its assessment regarding Dr. Boyer, the Board
acknowledged that Dr. Boyer is a director of Genentech,
Inc., that Dr. Boyer owns less than 1% of Genentechs
outstanding common stock and that Genentech purchased
approximately $38,600 of advertising services from an affiliate
of the Company during 2005.
In making its assessment regarding Mr. Ingram, the Board
acknowledged that Mr. Ingram is the Vice Chairman
Pharmaceuticals of GlaxoSmithKline plc., that
Mr. Ingram owns less than 1% of GlaxoSmithKlines
outstanding common stock and that during 2005 the Company paid
an insignificant amount to GlaxoSmithKline and received an
amount that was less than 5% of Allergans 2005 net revenue
from GlaxoSmithKline in connection with the outlicensing of
Botox®
in China and Japan, together with the agreement by the Company
to co-promote certain GlaxoSmithKline migraine products in the
United States.
In making its assessment regarding Mr. Schaeffer, the Board
acknowledged that Mr. Schaeffer served as Chairman of the
board of directors of WellPoint, Inc. until November 2005, that
Mr. Schaeffer owns less than 1% of Wellpoints
outstanding common stock and that during 2005, the Company paid
approximately $3.7 million to Blue Cross of California and
WellPoint Pharmacy Management, both of which are WellPoint
affiliates, in connection with the Companys employee
benefit plans.
The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit and
Finance Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee and the
Organization and Compensation Committee, respectively, is
independent under the applicable listing standards
of the NYSE and, with respect to members of the Audit and
Finance Committee, the audit committee requirements of the SEC.
19
Mr. Lavigne disclosed to the Company that, in addition to
serving on its Audit and Finance Committee, he currently serves
on the board of directors and the audit committees of four
additional public companies. Under the rules of the NYSE, if an
audit committee member simultaneously serves on the audit
committees of more than three public companies, and the listed
company does not limit the number of audit committees on which
its audit committee members serve to three or less, then in each
case, the board must determine that such simultaneous service
would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve
on the listed companys audit committee. The Board has
determined that Mr. Lavignes simultaneous service on
the board of directors and audit committees of Arena
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., BMC Software, Inc., Equinix, Inc., and
Kyphon Inc. does not impair his ability to effectively serve on
the Audit and Finance Committee. The Board determined that
Mr. Lavigne does not have significant time commitments
other than his duties in connection with various public company
boards of directors and therefore has sufficient time to
participate on the board of directors and audit committees of
four other public companies without negatively effecting his
service on the Audit and Finance Committee. The Guidelines are
available on the Corporate Governance section of the
Companys website at www.allergan.com. The
information on the Companys website is not incorporated by
reference in this proxy statement. Additionally, the Guidelines
are available by writing to Allergan, Inc.,
Attn: Secretary, 2525 Dupont Drive, P.O.
Box 19534, Irvine, CA 92623.
Board Meetings
The Companys business and affairs are managed under the
direction of the Board. The Board held nine meetings during 2005
and each director attended at least 75% of the Board
meetings in 2005. Directors are also kept informed of the
Companys business through personal meetings and other
communications, including considerable telephone contact with
the Chairman of the Board and others regarding matters of
interest and concern to the Company and its stockholders.
Committees
The Board has a standing Audit and Finance Committee, Corporate
Governance Committee, Organization and Compensation Committee
and Science and Technology Committee. The charters of each of
these committees are available on the Corporate Governance
section of the Companys website at
www.allergan.com. Stockholders of the Company may also
request a copy of any of the charters of these committees by
writing to Allergan, Inc., Attn: Secretary,
2525 Dupont Drive, P.O. Box 19534, Irvine, CA
92623.
Audit and Finance Committee
The primary role of the Audit and Finance Committee is to assist
the Board in its oversight of the Companys financial
reporting process. The Audit and Finance Committee is currently
comprised of Mr. Ray (Chairperson), Dr. Ryan and
Messrs. Gallagher and Lavigne. During 2005, Mr. Louis
T. Rosso served on the Audit and Finance Committee until his
retirement from the Board in April 2005 and Ms. Karen
Osar served as Chairperson of the Audit and Finance Committee
until her resignation from the Board in September 2005. The
Board has determined that all members of the Audit and Finance
Committee meet the independence standards of
(i) Sections 303 and 303A of the NYSE Listed Company
Manual and (ii) Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. None of the members
of the Audit and Finance Committee is an officer, employee,
former employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. Additionally, the Board has determined that
Messrs. Ray and Lavigne meet the definition of an audit
committee financial expert, as set forth in Item 401(h)(2)
of SEC
Regulation S-K.
The Audit and Finance Committee held nine meetings during 2005
and each member of the Audit and Finance Committee attended at
least 75% of the total meetings of the committee held when he or
she was a member.

Corporate Governance Committee
The Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of
Mr. Evans (Chairman), Prof. Jones, Dr. Boyer and
Messrs. Ingram and Schaeffer. Mr. Gallagher served on
the Corporate Governance Committee until January 2005, when
Mr. Ingram joined the Board. All members of the Corporate
Governance Committee meet the independence standards of
Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. None of the
members of the Corporate Governance Committee is an officer,
employee, former employee or affiliate of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries. The Corporate Governance Committee held four
meetings during 2005 and each member of the Corporate Governance
Committee attended at least 75% of the total meetings of
the committee held when he was a member. The Corporate
Governance Committee:
|
|
|
|
|
considers the performance of incumbent directors; |
|
|
|
considers and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the
size and composition of the Board; |
|
|
|
develops and recommends to the Board guidelines and criteria to
determine the qualifications of directors; |
|
|
|
considers and reports to the Board concerning its assessment of

|
|
|
considers, from time to time, the current Board committee

|
|
|
recommends changes to the amount and type of compensation of
Board members as appropriate; and |
|
|
|
makes recommendations to the Board from time to time as to
matters of corporate governance, and reviews and assesses the
Guidelines. |
The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for
recommending qualified candidates for election as directors of
the Company, including the slate of directors that the Board
proposes for election by Allergans stockholders at the
Annual Meeting. In identifying, evaluating and selecting
potential director nominees, including nominees recommended by
Allergans stockholders, the Committee engages in the
following selection process:
|
|
|
|
|
The Chief Executive Officer, the Corporate Governance Committee
or any other Board member identifies the need to add a new
member to the Board with specific criteria or to fill a vacancy
on the Board. Alternatively, stockholders may recommend a
nominee for election to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the
Board. |
|
|
|
The Corporate Governance Committee initiates a search, working
with support staff and seeking input from Board members and
senior management, and considering stockholder recommendations.
The Corporate Governance Committee may hire a search firm if
deemed appropriate. |
|
|
|
The initial slate of candidates that satisfy specific criteria
and otherwise qualify for membership on the Board are identified
and presented to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance
Committee, or in the Chairmans absence, any member of the
Corporate Governance Committee delegated to initially review
director candidates. |
|
|
|
The appropriate Corporate Governance Committee member makes an
initial determination in his or her own independent business
judgment as to the qualification and fit of such director
candidate(s) and whether there is a need for additional
directors to join the Board at that time. |
22
|
|
|
|
|
If the reviewing Corporate Governance Committee member
determines that it is appropriate to proceed, the Chief
Executive Officer and several members of the Corporate
Governance Committee interview prospective director candidate(s). |
|
|
|
The Corporate Governance Committee provides informal progress
updates to the Board. |
|
|
|
The Corporate Governance Committee meets to consider and approve
the final director candidate(s) (the full Corporate Governance
Committee may, in its discretion, conduct interviews as
schedules permit). |
|
|
|
If approved by the Corporate Governance Committee, the Corporate
Governance Committee seeks Board of Director approval of the
director candidate(s). |
Among other things, when assessing a candidates
qualifications, the Corporate Governance Committee looks for the
following qualities and skills:
|
|
|
|
|
Directors should be of the highest ethical character and share
the values of the Company. |
|
|
|
Directors should have reputations, both personal and
professional, that are consistent with the image and reputation
of the Company. |
|
|
|
Directors should be highly accomplished in their respective
fields, having achieved superior credentials and recognition. |
|
|
|
In selecting directors, the Corporate Governance Committee will
generally seek leaders affiliated or formerly affiliated with
major organizations, including scientific, business, government,
educational and other non-profit institutions. |
|
|
|
The Corporate Governance Committee will also seek directors who
are widely recognized as leaders in the fields of medicine or
the biological sciences, including those who have received the
most prestigious awards and honors in those fields. |
|
|
|
Each director should have relevant expertise and experience, and
be able to offer advice and guidance to the Companys
management based on that expertise and experience. |
|
|
|
Directors should be independent of any particular constituency
and be able to represent all stockholders of the Company; should
have the ability to exercise sound business judgment; and should
be selected so that the Board is a diverse body, with diversity
reflecting gender, ethnic background, country of citizenship and
professional experience. |
The Corporate Governance Committee considers all of the
qualities mentioned above when considering a candidate for
director, without regard to whether such candidate was nominated
by the Chairman of the Board, another director of the Company or
a stockholder of the Company. Stockholders can suggest qualified
candidates for director by submitting to the Company any
recommendations for director candidates, along with appropriate
biographical information, a brief description of such
candidates qualifications and such candidates
written consent to nomination. All submissions should be sent to
the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors,
c/o Allergan, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 2525 Dupont
Drive, P.O. Box 19534, Irvine, CA 92623. The Company
may request from the recommending stockholder or recommending
stockholder group such other information as may reasonably be
required to determine whether each person recommended by a
stockholder or stockholder group as a nominee meets the minimum
director qualifications established by the Board and is
independent for purposes of SEC and NYSE rules. Submissions that
meet the criteria outlined in the immediately preceding
paragraph are forwarded to the Chairman of the Corporate
Governance Committee or such other member of the Corporate
Governance Committee delegated to review and consider candidates
for director nominees.
Organization and Compensation Committee
The Organization and Compensation Committee is currently
comprised of Mr. Schaeffer (Chairman), Messrs. Evans,
Gallagher and Ray. During 2005, Ms. Karen Osar also served
on the Organization and
23

Executive Sessions
Non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions
without management. Non-management directors are all
of the Board members who are not officers of the Company and
include directors, if any, who are not independent
by virtue of the existence of a material relationship with the
24
Company. It is the Boards policy that the Vice Chairman, a
non-management director, if present, preside over the executive
sessions. If not present, a different non-management director is
selected by the non-management directors to chair the executive
session. Dr. Boyer is the current Vice Chairman of the
Board and, when present, presides over the executive sessions.
Executive sessions of the non-management directors are typically
held in conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board meeting.
Contacting the Board of Directors
Any stockholder who desires to contact the current director
presiding over the executive sessions or the other Board members
may do so by writing to the Allergan, Inc. Board of Directors,
Attn: Secretary, 2525 Dupont Drive, P.O. Box 19534,
Irvine, CA 92623. Communications received will be
distributed by the Companys Secretary to the director
presiding over the executive sessions or such other Board member
or members as deemed appropriate by the Companys
Secretary, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in
the communication received. For example, if any complaints
regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing
matters are received, they will be forwarded by the
Companys Secretary to the Chairperson of the Audit and
Finance Committee for review.
Director Attendance at Annual Meetings
Although the Company has no policy with regard to Board
members attendance at the Companys Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, it is customary for, and the Company encourages,
all Board members to attend. All directors then in office,
except for Ms. Karen Osar, attended the 2005 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Non-Employee Directors Compensation
The Board believes that providing competitive compensation is
necessary to attract and retain qualified non-employee
directors. The key elements of director compensation are a cash
retainer, committee chair fees, meeting fees and equity-based
grants. It is the Boards practice to provide a mix of cash
and equity-based compensation that it believes aligns the
interests of the Board and Allergans stockholders. As an
employee director, Mr. Pyott does not receive additional
compensation for Board service.
Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of
$30,000 for services as a director, except that the Vice
Chairman receives an annual retainer of $100,000. The retainer
paid to the Vice Chairman reflects the Vice Chairmans
critical role in aiding and assisting the Chairman of the Board
and the remainder of the Board in assuring effective corporate
governance and in managing the affairs of the Board including:
(1) presiding over Board meetings when the Chairman of the
Board is not in attendance; (2) consulting with the
Chairman of the Board and other Board members on corporate
governance practices and policies, and assuming the primary
leadership role in addressing issues of this nature if, under
the circumstances, it is inappropriate for the Chairman of the
Board to assume such leadership; (3) meeting informally
with other outside directors between meetings to assure free and
open communication within the group of outside directors;
(4) assisting the Chairman of the Board in preparing the
Board agenda so that the agenda includes items requested by
non-management members of the Board; (5) administering the
annual Board evaluation and report the results to the Corporate
Governance Committee; and (6) assuming other
responsibilities which the non-management directors as a whole
might designate from time to time.
The chairman of each Board committee (the Chair)
received $2,500 for each committee meeting presided over in
2005, except that the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee
received a $5,000 fee for each regular committee meeting
presided over in 2005. In addition, all non-employee directors,
including the Board committee Chairs, received $2,000 for each
Board meeting attended in 2005, an additional $1,000 for
25
each regular committee meeting attended and $1,000 for each
special committee meeting held in person that they attended in
2005.
The following table sets forth the retainer and other cash fees
received by the non-employee directors during 2005 for service
provided in 2005.

In 1991, the Company adopted a Deferred Directors Fee
Program (the DDF Program) that permits directors to
defer all or a portion of their retainer and meeting fees until
termination of their status as a director. Deferred amounts are
treated as having been invested in Common Stock, such that on
the date of deferral the director is credited with a number of
phantom shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of fees
deferred divided by the market price of a share of Common Stock
as of the date of deferral. Dr. Ryan, Prof. Jones,
Messrs. Evans and Gallagher, and Mr. Rosso, until his
retirement in April 2005, each chose to defer all or a portion
of his retainer and meeting fees paid in 2005. |
|
(2) |
Mr. Ingram was appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy in
January 2005. |
|
(3) |
Mr. Lavigne was appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy in
July 2005. |
|
(4) |
Ms. Osar resigned from the Board in September 2005. |
|
(5) |
Mr. Rosso retired from the Board in April 2005. |
During 2005 and under the Director Plan, each non-employee
director was, upon election, reelection or appointment to the
Board, automatically granted an award consisting of
1,800 shares of restricted Common Stock multiplied by the
number of years, including treating any partial year as a full
year, in that non-employee directors remaining term of
service on the Board. The restrictions applicable to the
restricted shares of Common Stock lapse for each participant at
a rate of 1,800 shares of Common Stock per year on the date
of each annual meeting of stockholders. If an individual ceases
to serve as a director prior to full vesting of a restricted
stock grant for reasons other than death or total disability,
the shares not then vested are returned to the Company without
payment of any consideration to the director. In addition, under
the Director Plan, each non-employee director is automatically
granted a nonqualified stock option to purchase
2,500 shares of Common Stock on the date of each regular
annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be
elected. Stock options granted under the Director Plan have an
exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the
Common Stock on the NYSE on the day prior to the grant. Each
grant of an option to purchase Common Stock vests in full
12 months after the date of grant, subject to accelerated
vesting upon death or total disability. No option may be
exercised after the first to occur of (i) three months
after voluntary resignation or removal for cause,
(ii) 12 months after termination of service as
director for any other reason, or (iii) 10 years from
the date of grant.

amended, requires the Companys executive officers,
directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Companys equity securities to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and
the NYSE. Executive officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished
to the Company and the written representations from certain of
the reporting persons that no other reports were required, the
Company believes that during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005, all executive officers, directors and
greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with the

Such options were granted pursuant to the 1989 Incentive
Compensation Plan, as amended (the Incentive Plan).
Options became exercisable at a rate of 25% per year
beginning February 9, 2006. The exercise price and the tax
withholding obligations relating to exercise may be paid by
delivery of already-owned shares. The Incentive Plan grants
broad discretion to change material terms and includes the
automatic acceleration of vesting upon a Change in
Control. See Change in Control and Severance
Arrangements on page 35 of this proxy statement. |

Based on the Black-Scholes model of option valuation to
determine grant date fair value, as prescribed under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. The actual value, if any, an
executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock
price over the exercise price on the date the option is
exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by an
executive will be at or near the value estimated by the
Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were used in the
Black-Scholes model: market price of stock, $72.30; exercise
price of option, $72.30; expected stock volatility, 33.40%;
risk-free interest rate, 3.76% (based on the
10-year treasury bond
rate); expected life, five years; dividend yield, 0.50%. |

Option Exercises and Holdings
The following table shows stock option exercises by the Named
Executive Officers during 2005, including the aggregate value of
gains on the date of exercise. In addition, this table includes
the number of shares covered by both exercisable and
non-exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2005. Also
reported are the values for
in-the-money
options, which represent the positive spread between the
exercise price of any such existing stock options and the
year-end price of the Common Stock.

Based on the fair market value of $107.96 of the Common Stock on
December 31, 2005. |
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan (the
Pension Plan) which provides pension benefits to
U.S. employees, including officers, based upon the average
of the employees highest 60 consecutive months of
eligible earnings (Final Average Pay) and years of
service integrated with covered compensation as defined by the
Social Security Administration.
The Company also has two supplemental retirement plans for
certain employees, including officers. These plans pay benefits
directly to a participant to the extent benefits under the
Pension Plan are limited by certain Internal Revenue Code
provisions.
33
The following table illustrates the annual combined retirement
benefits payable under Allergans defined benefit pension
plans (qualified and nonqualified) based on an age 62
retirement. If an employee elects a benefit for his or her
surviving spouse, the retirement benefit for the employee is
reduced to reflect this additional coverage.

The benefits shown are computed as a single life annuity
beginning at age 62 with no deduction for Social Security
or other offset amounts. Eligible earnings include base salary,
overtime, commissions and bonuses (including certain bonuses
paid in shares of restricted Common Stock) earned during the
year. Unreduced benefits are payable at age 62, but
employees may continue employment beyond age 62 and earn
additional retirement benefits. Credited years of service at
normal retirement for the Named Executive Officers would be as
follows: Mr. Pyott, 18 years; Mr. Ball,
22 years; Mr. Ingram, 28 years; and
Dr. Whitcup, 21 years. Eligibility to participate in
the Pension Plan was terminated for employees that joined the
Company after September 20, 2002. Mr. Wilson was hired
after September 20, 2002 and, therefore, is not eligible to
participate in the Pension Plan.
34
CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into agreements with each of its
executive officers and certain other executives that provide
certain benefits in the event of a change in control of the
Company. For purposes of these agreements, change in
control of the Company is generally defined as one of the
following: (i) as the acquisition by any person of
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting stock of the
Company (unless the Board approves the acquisition) or 33% or
more, of the voting stock (with or without Board approval),
(ii) certain business combinations involving the Company,
(iii) a stockholder approved disposition of substantially
all of the Companys assets or (iv) a change in a
majority of the incumbent Board members, except for changes in
the majority of such members approved by such members, subject
to certain exceptions. If, within two years after a change in
control, the Company or, in certain circumstances, the
executive, terminates his or her employment, the executive is
entitled to a severance payment equal to one-, two- or
three-(depending on the executive in question) times
(i) such executives highest annual salary rate within
the five-year period preceding termination, plus (ii) a
bonus increment equal to the average of the two highest of the
last five bonuses paid to such executive under the
Companys Management Bonus Plan payable within 30 days
of such termination, unless the executive chooses to be
paid over a longer period. The executive will also receive
additional benefits under the Companys retirement plans as
if the executive had worked for an additional one-, two- or
three- year period (depending on the executive in question). In
addition, the executive is entitled to the continuation of all
employment benefits for a one-, two- or three-year period
(depending on the executive in question), the vesting of all
stock options, restricted stock and certain other benefits,
including, for certain executives, payment of an amount
sufficient to offset the impact of any excess parachute
payment excise tax payable by the executive pursuant to
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or any comparable
provision of state law. The multiple of salary and bonus (as
calculated above) and the number of years of continued coverage
of other benefits as of December 31, 2005 were as follows:
Messrs. Pyott, Ball, Ingram, Wilson, Dr. Whitcup and
six other vice presidents three years; fourteen
senior vice presidents two years; and forty-nine
other covered executives one year.
In addition, the Companys supplemental retirement plans,
all as amended, 1989 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended,
Amended and Restated Savings and Investment Plan, Amended and
Restated Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Management Bonus Plan,
Executive Bonus Plan, Amended and Restated Pension Plan,
Director Plan, and 2001 Premium Priced Stock Option Plan each
contain provisions for the accelerated vesting of benefits under
such plans upon a change in control of the Company (using the
same definition of change in control as used in the change in
control agreements). In April 2005, the Organization and
Compensation Committee approved an acceleration of the vesting
of the options issued under the Allergan, Inc. 2001 Premium
Priced Stock Option Plan that are held by the Companys
current employees, including the Companys executive
officers, and certain former employees of the Company who
received grants while employees prior to the June 2002 spin-off
of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO). The former employees of
the Company are current employees of AMO. As a result of the
acceleration, the second tranche and third tranche of each
option became immediately vested and exercisable effective as of
May 10, 2005. Unlike typical stock options that vest over a
predetermined period, the options, pursuant to their original
terms, automatically vest as soon as the market price of the
Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option.
Consequently, as soon as the options have any value to the
participant, they would vest according to their original terms.
Therefore, early vesting did not provide any immediate benefit
to participants, including the Companys executive officers.
The Organization and Compensation Committee has approved a
severance pay policy for executive officers whose employment is
terminated as a result of a reduction in force, mutual
resignation or sale of a business unit where the officer is not
offered similar employment with the acquiring company. The
amount of severance pay depends upon the officers years of
service with the Company. For Executive Vice Presidents having
15 or more years of service, the severance pay is two times the
highest annual salary in the prior five years plus two times the
average of the two highest bonuses paid in the prior five years.
These employees are also entitled to two years of pension
credit, two years of continued coverage in medical, dental and
vision plans, continued participation in flexible spending
accounts for the two-year severance period, continued access to
a car allowance, tax and financial planning and gasoline
reimbursement over those two years, and continued
35
coverage in the Companys life insurance and disability
coverage in the two-year period. For Executive Vice Presidents
having between eight and 14 years of service, the severance
pay is between 22 and 26 months of base salary, depending
upon the actual full years of service, with no additional
benefits other than medical, dental and vision coverage during
the severance pay period. For Executive Vice Presidents and one
Corporate Vice President having between zero and seven years of
service, the severance pay is between 14 and
151/2 months
of base salary, depending upon the actual full years of service,
with no additional benefits other than health care coverage
during the severance pay period.
REPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Overview
The Organization and Compensation Committee (the
Compensation Committee) administers the compensation
policies and programs for Allergans executive officers and
other senior executives, as well as the equity-based incentive
compensation plans in which those persons participate. The
Committees philosophy is to provide a compensation package
that attracts, motivates and retains executive talent, and that
delivers rewards for superior performance and consequences for
underperformance. Specifically, the objectives of the
Committees compensation practices are to:
|
|
|
|
|
provide a total compensation program that is competitive with a
peer group of specifically identified pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies with which Allergan competes for
executive talent (the Comparison Companies); |
|
|
|
place a significant portion of executive compensation at risk by
linking compensation to the achievement of pre-established
individual objectives and Allergans financial performance; |
|
|
|
provide long-term incentive compensation that focuses
executives efforts on building stockholder value through
meeting longer-term financial and strategic goals; and |
|
|
|
provide incentives that promote executive retention. |
In designing and administering its executive compensation
programs, Allergan attempts to strike an appropriate balance
among these elements, as discussed below.
The Compensation Committee has retained an independent
consultant to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities. The
independent consultant is engaged by, and reports directly to,
the Compensation Committee. The independent consultant generally
attends all meetings of the Compensation Committee. As part of
its services during fiscal 2005, the independent consultant
provided regular briefings on current practices and new
developments on matters within the Compensation Committees
responsibilities, reviewed executives base salaries,
annual performance incentive awards, long-term incentive
compensation under Allergans 1989 Incentive Compensation
Plan, Management Bonus Plan and Executive Bonus Plan, and
provided recommendations as appropriate. The independent
consultant will continue to provide these services in fiscal
2006, unless replaced by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee annually determines the total
compensation levels for Allergans executive officers by
considering several factors, including each executives
role and responsibilities, how the executive is performing
against those responsibilities, Allergans performance, and
the competitive market data applicable to each executives
position. The Compensation Committee annually reviews current
market compensation data from two national independent surveys
of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry participants (the
Survey Companies) as well as a peer group of 15
Comparison Companies that are selected based upon factors
including size, employment levels, market capitalization and
product lines. Several of the Comparison Companies are listed in
the AMEX Pharmaceutical Index, which is included in the Stock
Performance Graph for this proxy statement on page 47.
Certain companies not included in the AMEX Pharmaceutical Index
were considered Comparison Companies because they are considered
comparable to Allergan based on size, scope of operations, line
of business, or because they may compete with Allergan for
executive talent. However, some organizations in the AMEX
Pharmaceutical Index were not considered
36
Comparison Companies because they were not comparable in terms
of size or line of business, are not considered competitors for
executive talent or because compensation information for those
companies was not available. The positions of Allergans
Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers were
compared with those of their counterparts at the Comparison
Companies and the Survey Companies, and the market compensation
levels for comparable positions were examined in the
Compensation Committees review and determination of base
salary, target incentives and total cash compensation. The
Compensation Committee also reviewed the practices of the
Comparison Companies and Survey Companies concerning annual
incentive practices and long-term, equity-based incentive awards.
The key elements of executive compensation are base salary,
annual performance incentive awards and long-term incentive
awards, each of which is discussed below.
Components of Compensation
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee annually reviews and determines the
base salaries of the Chief Executive Officer and other members
of senior management. Salaries are also reviewed in the case of
promotions or other significant changes in responsibilities. In
each case, the Compensation Committee takes into account
competitive salary practices, scope of responsibilities, the
results achieved by the executive and his or her future
potential.
In considering competitive salary practices, the Compensation
Committee targets base salary, as well as bonus, for the Chief
Executive Officer and other members of senior management at the
composite median level for the Comparison Companies and Survey
Companies (utilizing regression techniques to account for size
differences between Allergan and such companies). The Committee
will provide a compensation opportunity above the market median
for certain positions where it is warranted based on the
executives skills or experience level, record of
performance, or where necessary in response to competitive
pressures. On an individual basis, Allergans salary
increase program is designed to reward individual performance
consistent with Allergans overall financial performance in
the context of competitive practice. Annual performance reviews
and formal merit increase guidelines determine individual salary
increases. Using the Comparison Company and Survey Company data,
individual performance reviews and the merit increase
guidelines, the Named Executive Officers received an average
salary increase of 6.9%, effective February 2006, to reflect
2005 corporate performance and individual contributions; placing
the Named Executive Officers at approximately 91% of the
composite median for the Comparison Companies and the Survey
Companies. The largest salary increase was 11.4%, with the
lowest increase at 5.0%.
Annual Performance Incentive
Awards
The Management Bonus Plan
The Management Bonus Plan is designed to reward management-level
employees for their contributions to individual and corporate
objectives.
Bonus Determinations for Performance in 2005. At the
beginning of 2005, the Compensation Committee established
performance objectives for the payment of annual incentive
awards to the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief
Executive Officer (collectively, the Senior Executive
Participants) and other senior managers participating in
the Management Bonus Plan. The three performance objectives upon
which bonuses were to be based were (1) attainment of a
target adjusted earnings per share (the EPS Target),
(2) attainment of a target pharmaceutical sales revenue
growth in local currency (the Revenue Target), and
(3) attainment of a target research and development
reinvestment rate (the R&D Reinvestment Target).
For any bonus to be payable under the Management Bonus Plan,
2005 adjusted EPS had to be greater than a threshold adjusted
EPS established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning
of the year. The Compensation Committee established that the
bonus pool would be funded at 90% of target bonus if Allergan
achieved the EPS Target, with an additional 10% of target bonus
funded for achievement of the Revenue Target and 10% of target
bonus funded for achievement of the R&D Reinvestment Target.
As a
37
result, 110% of the target bonus would be funded upon achieving
all three of the pre-established corporate performance
objectives. The Compensation Committee also provided that the
actual bonus pool payable under the Management Bonus Plan would
be from 0% to 160% of the target bonus based on Allergans
relative attainment of these pre-established performance
objectives.
In calculating whether the EPS Target, the Revenue Target and
the R&D Reinvestment Target had been achieved, management
(with Board approval, where appropriate, and in accordance with
Allergans internal policies), among other things,
identifies adjustments to Allergans financial statements,
as set forth in Allergans earnings releases, and assesses
the financial impact on the Management Bonus Plan of any
transactions contemplated but not yet closed at the time
Allergans annual operating plan was approved. As a result
of Allergans relative achievement of the EPS Target,
Revenue Target and R&D Reinvestment Target, and in
accordance with the bonus structure approved at the beginning of
2005, the Compensation Committee approved funding the 2005 bonus
pool for plan participants at approximately 140% of the target
bonus. As a result, the Compensation Committee approved a total
Management Bonus Plan pool of approximately $21.1 million
for approximately 581 participating employees.
Upon funding, the Compensation Committee further allocated the
Management Bonus Plan pool to Allergans business units and
business functions (and their respective executive officers)
based on each units respective operating income results
compared to budgeted amounts for 2005 and each functions
attainment of specific objectives. For instance, a business unit
that performed above budgeted operating income typically
receives a greater share of the Management Bonus Plan pool than
a business unit that was below the operating income budget. The
Compensation Committee also used the business unit and business
function allocations in its consideration of bonuses to the
Senior Executive Participants, based on the performance of each
Senior Executive Participants business unit or business
function.
For 2005, Management Bonus Plan target bonuses for the Senior
Executive Participants were established at between 60% and 70%
of the Senior Executive Participants year-end annualized
base salary, based on position. Because the 2005 bonus pool was
funded at approximately 140% of the target bonus, actual bonuses
under the Management Bonus Plan ranged between 77.1% and 100.8%
of each Senior Executive Participants year-end annualized
base salary.
Individual participants bonuses are also determined based
upon attainment of individual performance objectives
pre-established for the participant by the Chief Executive
Officer together with the executives supervisor, if it is
not the Chief Executive Officer. In general, each participant
set for himself or herself (subject to his or her
supervisors review and approval or modification) a number
of objectives for the coming year and then received a
performance evaluation against those objectives as a part of the
year-end compensation review process. The individual objectives
vary considerably in detail and subject matter depending on the
executives position. This information was considered by
the Compensation Committee in evaluating the overall performance
of the Senior Executive Participants for purposes of determining
the actual bonuses to be paid to those individuals. By
accounting for individual performance, Allergan is able to
differentiate among executives and emphasize the link between
personal performance and compensation. All awards paid under the
Management Bonus Plan to Allergans senior managers
(including the Senior Executive Participants) in excess of 100%
of the participants bonus targets were paid in grants of
service-vested
restricted stock or service-vested restricted stock units of
Allergan, each with two year cliff vesting (issued under
Allergans 1989 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended).
Bonus Determinations for Performance in 2006. For the
payment of annual incentive awards to Management Bonus Plan
participants for 2006, the Compensation Committee has
established the same corporate performance objectives as were
used in 2005, using a revised target value for each of the three
performance objectives. The actual bonus award payable will be
from 0% to 160% of the target bonus based on Allergans
relative attainment of the performance objectives. A target
bonus for each Senior Executive Participant for 2006 has been
established at between 60% and 70% of the applicable year-end
annualized base salary, based on position. Consistent with 2005,
bonuses will be paid in cash up to a maximum bonus pool of 100%
of the bonus targets. Bonuses will be paid in restricted stock
and restricted stock units to the extent the
38
bonus pool exceeds 100% of the bonus targets. Such restricted
stock or restricted stock units will provide for cliff vesting
two years following the award effective date.
The Executive Bonus Plan
Bonus Determinations for Performance in 2005. In 1999,
the Board and Allergans stockholders approved an Executive
Bonus Plan for the payment of bonus compensation to the Chief
Executive Officer. The primary purpose of the existing Executive
Bonus Plan is to reward, retain and motivate the Chief Executive
Officer and he is the only employee eligible for awards under
the existing Executive Bonus Plan. Incentive compensation under
the Executive Bonus Plan has historically been based on the
achievement of the same performance objectives established by
the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each plan year
for the Management Bonus Plan.
For 2005, the Chief Executive Officers award under the
existing Executive Bonus Plan was based upon Allergans
attainment of the EPS Target, the Revenue Target and the R&D
Reinvestment Target the same targets approved for
other Allergan managers under the Management Bonus Plan
discussed above. The Compensation Committee also established a
2005 target bonus for the Chief Executive Officer of 115% of his
year-end annualized base salary, with the actual bonus to be
between 0% and 160% of his target bonus depending on
Allergans relative achievement of the performance
objectives (to be calculated in the same manner as the
Management Bonus Plan). Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer
was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 184% of his year-end
annualized base salary. Based upon Allergans achievement
of the pre-established
performance objectives for 2005 and the individual contributions
of the Chief Executive Officer as discussed more fully below,
the Compensation Committee approved a bonus of $1,954,000 for
the Chief Executive Officer, or approximately 166% of his
year-end annualized base salary.
Bonus Determinations for Performance in 2006. In order to
preserve the federal tax deductibility of performance-based cash
and stock awards that may be paid by Allergan to the Chief
Executive Officer and the President, the Board of Directors has
adopted, and has asked Allergan stockholders to approve, a new
2006 Executive Bonus Plan. If approved by stockholders, bonuses
for the Chief Executive Officer and the President will be
established under the 2006 Executive Bonus Plan, which will
replace the existing bonus plan. For a description of the 2006
Executive Bonus Plan, see
Proposal No. 4 Approval of the 2006
Executive Bonus Plan.
The Compensation Committee has determined that the bonuses
payable to the Chief Executive Officer and the President under
the 2006 Executive Bonus Plan for the 2006 year will be
based (presuming stockholder approval of the 2006 Executive
Bonus Plan is obtained) on attainment of the EPS Target, Revenue
Target and R&D Reinvestment Target consistent
with the targets established for other senior managers for 2006
under the Management Bonus Plan. For any bonus to be payable
under the Executive Bonus Plan, Allergans 2006 adjusted
EPS must be greater than threshold adjusted EPS set by the
Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officers
target bonus for 2006 is 120% of his year-end annualized base
salary, and the Presidents target bonus for 2006 is 70% of
his year-end annualized base salary. The actual bonus award
payable will be from 0% to 160% of the target bonus based on
Allergans relative attainment of the performance
objectives. Therefore, the Chief Executive Officer has the
opportunity to earn a bonus of up to 192% of his year-end
annualized base salary, and the President has the opportunity to
earn a bonus of up to 112% of his year-end annualized base
salary, each based on the Companys performance and subject
to the discretion of the Compensation Committee to reduce the
amount payable. Bonuses for 2006 will be paid in cash up to a
maximum bonus pool of 100% of the bonus targets. Bonuses for
2006 will be paid in restricted stock and restricted stock units
to the extent the bonus pool exceeds 100% of the bonus targets.
Such restricted stock or restricted stock units will provide for
cliff vesting two years following the award effective date.
Long-term Incentive Awards
The Compensation Committee targets long-term incentive
compensation awards for senior management at the
75th percentile of the Comparison Companies and Survey
Companies combined with respect to
39
long-term incentives.
Each January, the Compensation Committee considers and approves
a set of guidelines for long-term incentive awards for eligible
participants based on the participants grade level in the
organization, the market value applicable to each grade level,
and the current value of Allergans stock. The guidelines
for each employee grade level are set periodically by the
Compensation Committee based on input from its independent
consulting firm, taking into consideration survey data and a mix
of individual and corporate performance achievements, without
attributing relative weights to the various factors considered.
For 2005 and 2006, the Compensation Committee has determined
that Allergans senior managers will receive long-term
incentive awards in the form of stock options, with a limited
pool of restricted stock awards being available for that portion
of the Management and Executive Bonus awards payable in stock,
retention of key executives in limited situations, and in the
recruitment of key new hires.
Other Compensation
Perquisites. Allergan also provides other benefits to its
executive officers that are not tied to any formal individual or
company performance criteria and are intended to be part of a
competitive overall compensation program. These benefits include
payment of term life insurance premiums, country club dues,
financial planning services, a gasoline allowance, a car
allowance, amounts in lieu of paid vacation, and contributions
under Allergans Savings and Investment Plan and Deferred
Compensation Plan, as described below.
Change of Control Payments. Allergan has entered into
change of control employment agreements with each of its Named
Executive Officers and other key employees. These agreements
provide for severance payments to be made to the executive if
their employment is terminated under specified circumstances
within two years following a change of control of Allergan. The
agreements are designed to retain the executives and provide
continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened
change in the control of Allergan and to ensure that the
executives compensation and benefits expectations would be
satisfied in such event. A description of the material terms of
Allergans change of control arrangements can be found
beginning on page 12 of this proxy statement.
Savings and Investment Plan. The Allergan, Inc. Savings
and Investment Plan (SIP), is a defined contribution
plan that also qualifies as a 401(k) plan under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) feature of the
SIP, Allergan makes a matching contribution to the SIP equal to
100% of eligible participants, including the Named
Executive Officers, before-tax contributions and after-tax
contributions up to a maximum of 4% of the
participants base salary, normal bonus and commissions,
subject to Internal Revenue Code limits on the maximum amount of
pay that may be recognized. A participant becomes vested in the
Allergan match portion of his or her contribution to the 401(k)
after the participant completes three years of service with
Allergan following the matching contribution or, if earlier, the
participant reaches age 62, becomes permanently and totally
disabled, or dies. If a participants service with Allergan
terminates before he or she is vested, the participant will
forfeit the Allergan match and any earnings thereon. Under the
retirement contribution feature of the SIP, Allergan makes a
contribution to the SIP on behalf of eligible participants,
including the Named Executive Officers, that have elected to
participate in the retirement contribution feature (and forego
participation in Allergans pension plan), equal to 5% of
the participants base salary, normal bonuses and
commissions, subject to Internal Revenue Code limits on the
maximum amount of pay that may be recognized. The participant
receives the retirement contribution for a year only if he or
she is employed by Allergan on the last day of that year. A
participant becomes vested in the Allergan retirement
contribution at a rate of 20% for each completed year of service
with Allergan or, if earlier, the participant reaches
age 62, becomes permanently and totally disabled, or dies.
Retirement Plans. Allergan has a defined benefit
retirement plan that provides pension benefits to
Allergans U.S. employees, including the Named
Executive Officers (other than Mr. Wilson), based upon the
average of the employees highest 60 consecutive months of
eligible earnings and years of service integrated with covered
compensation. In January 2002, the Compensation Committee
determined that employees hired after that time would not be
eligible to participate in the pension plan. Mr. Wilson was
hired by Allergan after September 2002 and is accordingly
ineligible to participate in this plan. A description of
compensation payable to the other Named Executive Officers under
the pension plan can be found beginning on page 33 of this
proxy statement.
40
Allergan also has two supplemental retirement plans for certain
employees, including the Named Executive Officers. These plans
pay benefits directly to a participant to the extent benefits
under the pension plan are limited by Internal Revenue Code
provisions.
Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Allergan, Inc.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the EDCP),
eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers are
permitted to defer receipt of up to 100% of their base salary
and bonus. Eligible employees also receive deferred compensation
during a given year under the EDCP if, during that year, they
have contributed the maximum before-tax contributions under the
SIP and the amount of contributions made to the SIP on behalf of
the participant were limited by the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code. Similarly, eligible employees, including the Named
Executive Officers, will receive deferred compensation during a
given year under the EDCP if, during that year, the amount of
contributions made to the retirement plan contribution feature
of the SIP were limited by U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
The Compensation Committee meets each year in executive session
to evaluate the performance of Mr. Pyott, Allergans
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The results
of this evaluation are considered in determining
Mr. Pyotts compensation, consistent with the
compensation policies described above. The Compensation
Committee also consults with its independent consultant in
setting the Chief Executive Officers compensation. Neither
the Compensation Committee nor its independent advisor consult
with the Chief Executive Officer or any other members of
management when setting the Chief Executive Officers
compensation.
Compensation for 2005. Effective January 24, 2005,
the Compensation Committee approved a 4.4% salary increase for
Mr. Pyott, from $1,130,000 to $1,180,000. The Compensation
Committee determined Mr. Pyotts salary increase after
reviewing competitive market data and Mr. Pyotts
individual performance during the 2004 fiscal year.
In January 2006, the Compensation Committee awarded
Mr. Pyott a $1,954,000 annual incentive payment with
respect to 2005, representing approximately 166% of
Mr. Pyotts target bonus award. In setting this award,
the Compensation Committee reviewed Allergans overall
financial performance during 2005, as well as
Mr. Pyotts individual role in Allergans
successes. In particular, the Compensation Committee noted
Allergans 2005 sales growth and its fulfillment of market
share objectives, the pending acquisition of Inamed Corporation,
the buy-down of the
Restasis®
royalty from Novartis, the execution of an orderly transition of
Allergans financial, regulatory and manufacturing
leadership, the successful outlicensing of
Botox®
in China and Japan to GlaxoSmithKline, together with the
agreement to co-promote certain GlaxoSmithKline migraine
products in the United States, the restructuring of
Allergans European operations and the German, Australian,
Mexican and United Kingdom approvals of
Combigantm
for glaucoma.
In January 2005, the Compensation Committee approved a long-term
incentive award to Mr. Pyott consisting of stock options
for 226,000 shares to be made on February 9, 2005.
This long-term incentive award had a dollar value of $8,240,000
at the time of grant, determined based on the Black-Scholes
stock option pricing model. While the February 9, 2005
long-term incentive award to Mr. Pyott was granted with
respect to 2004, it is reflected in the Summary Compensation
Table and other tables for 2005, as required by the SECs
proxy statement rules, because it was awarded during 2005.
Compensation for 2006. Effective February 1, 2006,
the Compensation Committee approved a 5.1% salary increase for
Mr. Pyott, from $1,180,000 to $1,240,000. The Compensation
Committee also approved a long-term incentive award to
Mr. Pyott consisting of stock options for
225,000 shares to be made on February 6, 2006. This
long-term incentive award had a dollar value of $10,476,000 at
the time of grant, again using the
Black-Scholes stock
option pricing model. The Compensation Committee determined
Mr. Pyotts 2006 salary increase and long-term
incentive award after reviewing competitive market data and
Mr. Pyotts individual performance during 2005. In
determining Mr. Pyotts compensation opportunity for
2006, the Compensation Committee was influenced by, among other
things, his successful management of growth and
41
strategic initiatives at Allergan, Allergans performance
against pre-determined objectives, his leadership,
organizational and communications skills, and the competitive
market data applicable to his position.
Policy on Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, limits the tax deductibility by a company of annual
compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the Chief Executive
Officer and any of its four other most highly compensated
executive officers. However, performance-based compensation that
has been approved by stockholders is excluded from the
$1,000,000 limit if, among other requirements, the compensation
is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective
performance goals and the Board of Directors committee that
establishes such goals consists only of outside
directors. Additionally, stock options will qualify for
the performance-based exception where, among other requirements,
the exercise price of the option is not less than the fair
market value of the stock on the date of grant, and the plan
includes a per-executive limitation on the number of shares for
which options may be granted during a specified period.
All members of the Compensation Committee qualify as outside
directors. The Compensation Committee considers the anticipated
tax treatment to Allergan and its executive officers when
reviewing executive compensation and Allergans
compensation programs. The deductibility of some types of
compensation payments can depend upon the timing of an
executives vesting or exercise of previously granted
rights. Interpretations of and changes in applicable tax laws
and regulations, as well as other factors beyond the
Compensation Committees control, also can affect
deductibility of compensation.
While the tax impact of any compensation arrangement is one
factor to be considered, such impact is evaluated in light of
the Compensation Committees overall compensation
philosophy. The Compensation Committee will consider ways to
maximize the deductibility of executive compensation, while
retaining the discretion it deems necessary to compensate
officers in a manner commensurate with performance and the
competitive environment for executive talent. However, from time
to time the Compensation Committee may award compensation which
is not fully deductible if it determines that such award is
consistent with its philosophy and is in the best interests of
Allergan and its stockholders.
The Executive Bonus Plan submitted to Allergans
stockholders for approval at the 2006 Annual Meeting is designed
to meet the performance-based criteria of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The following compensation plans under which the Common Stock
may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and rights
have not been approved by the Companys stockholders:
|
|
|
Allergan Pharmaceuticals (Ireland) Ltd., Inc. Savings
Related Share Option Scheme (2000) |
The purpose of the Allergan Pharmaceuticals (Ireland) Ltd., Inc.
Savings Related Share Option Scheme 2000 (the SRSOS)
is to enable the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, now
known as Allergan Pharmaceuticals Ireland, to attract, retain
and motivate its employees and directors, and to further align
its employees and full-time directors interests with
those of the Companys stockholders by providing for or
increasing their proprietary interests in the Company. The SRSOS
is not subject to the provisions of the United States Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not required to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of the United States.
The SRSOS authorizes the board of Allergan Pharmaceuticals
Ireland to invite eligible employees (the
Invitation) to apply for a grant of an option to
acquire an estimated number of shares of Common Stock with the
proceeds of a savings account established under a special
savings contract with a bank. Employees make monthly
contributions to the account and interest in the form of a bonus
payment is paid by the bank at the end of the savings period,
which is three years from the date of the first monthly
contribution. Provided that the option does not lapse, at the
end of the savings period, and in special circumstances before
that date, each employee may decide whether they wish to use all
of their savings and bonus to buy the maximum number of option
shares possible, to take all of their savings and bonus in cash
and allow the option to lapse, or to choose some combination of
the foregoing. The right to choose to buy shares of Common Stock
lapses six months after completion of each employees
savings contract, except in special circumstances. All eligible
employees are eligible to participate in the SRSOS on similar
terms. No Invitation may be made after the tenth anniversary of
the date that the board of directors of Allergan Pharmaceuticals
Ireland adopted the SRSOS. The SRSOS was approved by the
Companys Board and Allergan Pharmaceutical Irelands
board of directors in January 2000. The Companys Board has
reserved a total of 300,000 shares of Common Stock for
issuance to SRSOS participants. As of December 31, 2005,
12,223 shares of Common Stock have been issued under the
SRSOS.

|
|
|
Allergan Irish Share Participation Scheme |
The Allergan Irish Share Participation Scheme (the
ISPS) enables eligible employees to elect to receive
a portion of their bonuses in Common Stock. Eligible employees
of the Company and its subsidiary, Allergan Pharmaceuticals
Ireland, can elect to participate in the ISPS.
Under the terms of the ISPS, an eligible employee is given the
opportunity each year to purchase shares of Common Stock through
investment of his or her bonus. An eligible employee who has
agreed to participate may invest the equivalent of up to 8% of
their salary from his or her bonus and forego a further 7.5%
from basic salary (total 15.5%) in the ISPS. Upon receipt of a
signed Form of Acceptance and Contract of
Participation from the eligible employee, the trustees of
the ISPS will purchase shares of Common Stock on behalf of all
participants. Shares of Common Stock are then allocated to each
participant based on the amount of bonus and salary invested by
the participant. For a period of two years, the shares of Common
Stock will be held by the trustees on the participants
behalf. After this two-year time period, the participant may
instruct the trustees to sell his or her shares of Common Stock
or to transfer them into the participants own name;
however, the participant will lose the benefit of income tax
relief. If a participant allows the trustee to hold the shares
of Common Stock for an additional year, i.e. three years in
total, the participant can sell or transfer the shares of Common
Stock free of income tax. The ISPS was modified and readopted by
the Companys Board in November 1989 to reflect the effects
of the spin-off of the Company from SmithKline Beckman
Corporation in July 1989. The Companys Board has reserved
a total of 332,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance to
ISPS participants. As of December 31, 2005,
204,101 shares of Common Stock have been issued under the
ISPS.
|
|
|
Allergan, Inc. Deferred Directors Fee Program |
The purpose of the DDF Program is to provide non-employee Board
members with a means to defer all or a portion of their annual
retainer and meeting fees received from the Company until
termination of their status as a director. Deferred amounts are
treated as having been invested in Common Stock, such that on
the date of deferral the director is credited with a number of
phantom shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of fees
deferred divided by the market price of a share of Common Stock
as of the date of deferral. Upon termination of the
directors service on the Board, the director will receive
shares of Common stock equal to the number of phantom shares of
Common Stock credited to such director under the DDF Program.
The DDF Program initially became effective as of March 1,
1994, and was amended and restated effective as of
November 15, 1999, such that participants will receive
shares of Common Stock at the time deferred amounts are paid
under the DDF Program. A total of 519,006 shares of Common
Stock have been authorized for issuance to DDF Program
participants. As of December 31, 2005, 92,976 shares
of Common Stock have been issued and participants are entitled
to receive an additional 53,375 shares of Common Stock
under the DDF Program upon termination of their status as
director.
|
|
|
Allergan, Inc. Employee Recognition Stock Award
Plan |
The purpose of the Allergan, Inc. Employee Recognition Stock
Award Plan is to provide for a grant of Common Stock to
non-executive employees, as part of the Allergan, Inc. Award for
Excellence Program (the AAE Program). The AAE
Program was approved by the Board on July 27, 1993 and
rewards exceptional service performed for the Company by the
recipients of such grants. The Board administers and makes
awards under the AAE Program. A total of 200,000 shares of
Common Stock have been authorized for issuance to AAE Program
participants. As of December 31, 2005, 46,378 shares
of Common Stock have been issued under the AAE Program.
|
|
|
Savings Plan for Employees of Allergan Inc. |
The Savings Plan for Employees of Allergan Inc. (the
Savings Plan) is a tax-qualified Canadian retirement
savings plan for Canadian employees of the Canadian subsidiary
of the Company (Allergan Canada). An eligible
employee may elect to defer a portion of his or her compensation
to the Savings Plan. Amounts deferred by an eligible employee
can be invested into one of two investment funds available under
46
the Savings Plan: (a) a tax deferred Registered Retirement
Savings Plan and (b) a non-Registered Retirement Savings
Plan. Both plans include the following types of investments: a
Guaranteed Fund invested in guaranteed investment certificates,
Government of Canada Treasury Bills or interest bearing
accounts, and an Equity Fund invested in stocks, mutual funds,
and other equity investments. Neither of these funds contain
Common Stock. Allergan Canada matches a portion of the amounts
deferred by eligible employees to the Savings Plan. Matching
contributions are made by Allergan Canada in shares of Common
Stock.
An eligible employees account under the Savings Plan is
distributed in a lump-sum payment following retirement or other
termination of employment. An employee may make certain
withdrawals from his or her accounts under the Savings Plan
during employment, including for the purpose of purchasing a
principal residence. In certain circumstances, an eligible
employee may be ineligible to participate in the Savings Plan
for a specified period of time following a withdrawal during
employment. The Savings Plan was modified and readopted by the
Board in November 1989 to reflect the effects of the spin-off of
the Company from SmithKline Beckman Corporation in July 1989.
The Board has reserved a total of 114,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance to Savings Plan participants. As of
December 31, 2005, 77,345 shares of Common Stock have
been issued under the Savings Plan.

|
|
II. |
AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE COMPOSITION AND MEETINGS |
The AFC shall be composed of three or more directors as
determined by the Board, each of whom shall be independent
non-employee directors, free from any relationship that would
interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment,
and as required by the independence requirements of the New York

whether the provision of non-audit service is compatible with
the auditors independence.
In evaluating non-audit services, the AFC will weigh such

position, and overall business strategy, and the extent to which
the services may provide insight to the accounting firm in
performing the audit of the Corporation.
The AFC will establish policies and procedures for the
engagement of the independent auditor to provide non-audit
services.

appropriate, the AFC shall solicit input from the
Corporations Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
