FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This communication may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning the Company, Actavis plc, Warner Chilcott, the acquisition and other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, acquisition financing, the Company’s, Actavis plc’s or Warner Chilcott’s long-term credit rating and revenues and operating earnings. These statements or disclosures may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to the Company, Actavis plc or Warner Chilcott, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. It is important to note that the Company’s, Actavis plc’s and Warner Chilcott’s goals and expectations are not predictions of actual performance. The Company’s, Actavis plc’s or Warner Chilcott’s performance, at times, will differ from its goals and expectations. Forward-looking statements generally will be accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; successful integration of the Warner Chilcott acquisition and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the Warner Chilcott acquisition; the difficulty of predicting the timing and outcome of pending or future litigation and government investigations and risks that an adverse outcome in such litigation or investigations could render the Company, Actavis plc or Warner Chilcott liable for substantial damages or penalties; risks that resolution of patent infringement litigation through settlement could result in investigations or actions by private parties or government authorities or agencies; the impact of competitive products and pricing; risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; periodic dependence on a small number of products for a material source of net revenue or income; variability of trade buying patterns; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; risks that the carrying values of assets may be negatively impacted by future events and circumstances; the timing and success of product launches; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; risks and uncertainties normally incident to the pharmaceutical industry, including product liability claims and the availability of product liability insurance on reasonable terms; market acceptance of and continued demand for the Company’s, Actavis plc’s or Warner Chilcott’s products; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products and materials; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to the Company’s, Actavis plc’s or Warner Chilcott’s facilities, products and/or businesses; and changes in the laws and regulations, including Medicare, Medicaid, and similar laws in foreign countries affecting, among other things, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products and the settlement of patent litigation. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in Actavis, Inc.’s periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Actavis, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (as revised pursuant to Actavis, Inc.’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of June 17, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on June 18, 2013) and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, and Warner Chilcott’s periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Warner Chilcott’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. Except as expressly required by law, Actavis disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
