Moody’s reviews Allergan
Moody's Investors Service said it placed the ratings of Allergan, Inc. under review for downgrade, including the A3 senior unsecured long-term rating and the Prime-2 short-term rating.
The review was prompted by the shortening window of time prior to Allergan's Dec. 18 Special Board Meeting, during which Allergan shareholders will vote on proposals by Pershing Square Capital LLP related to the potential acquisition of Allergan by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.
The upcoming Special Board meeting also prompts concerns that Allergan may consider changes in Allergan's financial strategy could involve debt-financed acquisitions or share repurchases, Moody’s said.
