Allergan Announces Final Extension of Inamed Exchange Offer and Amendment to Merger Agreement.

IRVINE, Calif. -- Allergan, Inc. (NYSE:AGN) today announced that it is extending the expiration date of its exchange offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Inamed Corporation (NASDAQ:IMDC). All conditions to the completion of the exchange offer currently are satisfied. However, Allergan is extending the offer pursuant to its one-time right under its merger agreement with Inamed to extend the offer for up to five business days to seek valid tenders representing at least 90% of the outstanding Inamed common stock so that it can complete the acquisition through a short-form merger under Delaware law.

The exchange offer now will expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, March 17, 2006. The exchange offer previously was scheduled to expire at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, March 10, 2006, at which time 30,594,622 shares, representing approximately 82.9%, of Inamed's outstanding common stock had been tendered.

Assuming all conditions to the exchange offer remain satisfied when the offer expires at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, March 17, 2006, Allergan will have no further extension rights and will promptly complete the exchange offer. Allergan will publicly announce the results of the exchange offer upon completion.

Allergan also announced that the respective Boards of Directors of Allergan, Inamed and Banner Acquisition, Inc., Allergan's wholly owned subsidiary, approved an amendment to their merger agreement. The amendment provides that Inamed stockholders who tender shares in the exchange offer and do not make a valid election of consideration, and Inamed stockholders whose shares are cancelled in the subsequent merger who do not make a valid election of consideration, will be deemed to have elected to receive Allergan common stock in exchange for their Inamed shares.

The amendment was entered into in an effort to treat fairly those Inamed stockholders who do not make valid elections in the exchange offer and the merger. Due to the increase in the trading price of Allergan common stock since Allergan first announced the exchange offer, there currently is a significant difference between the $84 in cash payable per Inamed share and the implied value of 0.8498 shares of Allergan common stock issuable per Inamed share in the exchange offer and the merger. Prior to this amendment, non-electing Inamed stockholders likely would have received the currently lower value of $84 in cash per Inamed share. As a result of this amendment, Inamed stockholders who desire to receive cash for their Inamed shares either in the exchange offer or the subsequent merger must now affirmatively elect to receive cash. No other terms of the merger agreement were amended.

"We are pleased with the initial response to our exchange offer from Inamed's stockholders, and are extending the offer for a short period to facilitate a prompt completion of the acquisition through a short-form merger under Delaware law," said David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. "We encourage all Inamed stockholders who have not yet tendered their shares to do so promptly, and look forward to completing the acquisition and implementing our integration plan."

In the exchange offer, Allergan is offering to exchange for each outstanding share of Inamed common stock, either $84 in cash or 0.8498 of a share of Allergan common stock, at the election of the holder. Elections of Inamed stockholders are subject to proration so that 45% of the aggregate Inamed shares tendered will be exchanged for cash and 55% of the aggregate Inamed shares tendered will be exchanged for shares of Allergan common stock.
