About Warner Chilcott

We are a leading specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on the women’s healthcare and dermatology segments of the U.S. pharmaceutical market. We are a fully integrated company with internal resources dedicated to the development, manufacturing and promotion of our products. We have established strong franchises in women’s healthcare and dermatology through our marketing techniques and specialty sales forces, which now comprise approximately 500 representatives. We believe that our proven product development capabilities, coupled with our ability to execute acquisitions and in-licensing transactions and develop partnerships, such as our relationship with LEO Pharma A/S, will enable us to sustain and grow these franchises. Our primary manufacturing facility is located in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Our franchises are comprised of complementary portfolios of established branded and development-stage products. Our women’s healthcare franchise is anchored by our strong presence in the hormonal contraceptive and hormone therapy (“HT”) categories and our dermatology franchise is built on our established positions in the markets for psoriasis and acne therapies. In women’s healthcare, we currently promote two oral contraceptives: LOESTRIN 24 FE and FEMCON FE. LOESTRIN 24 FE features a novel patented 24-day dosing regimen, which delivers an important patient benefit – shorter, lighter periods. FEMCON FE is the only oral contraceptive containing 35 mcg of ethinyl estradiol currently being actively promoted to Obstetrician/Gynecologists. We also have a significant presence in the HT market, primarily through our products FEMHRT, ESTRACE Cream and FEMRING. In dermatology, our psoriasis product DOVONEX Cream enjoys the leading position in the United States for the non-steroidal topical treatment of psoriasis. In addition, our product TACLONEX is the first and only once-a-day topical psoriasis treatment that combines a corticosteroid (betamethasone dipropionate) and calcipotriene, the active ingredient in DOVONEX Cream. We believe that TACLONEX is a superior topical therapy and promote it as the first line topical therapy for mild to moderate psoriasis. Our product, DORYX is one of the leading branded oral tetracyclines in the United States for the treatment of acne.

Strategy

Our strategy is to grow our specialty pharmaceutical products business by focusing on therapeutic areas dominated by specialist physicians. We believe that we will continue to drive organic growth by employing our marketing techniques. Furthermore, we intend to supplement our growth and broaden our market position in our existing franchises through ongoing product development. Our internal product development is focused on new products, proprietary product improvements and new and enhanced dosage forms. In addition, we selectively review potential product in-licensing, acquisition and partnership opportunities, such as our relationship with LEO Pharma and our recent in-licensing arrangements with NexMed, Inc. and Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
