Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 9, 2010, Allergan, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Allergan”) and Glaxo Group Limited, an affiliate of GlaxoSmithKline plc, (“Glaxo”) entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to their existing license agreements, dated September 30, 2005, for the development and sale of Allergan’s neuromodulator product, Botox® (onabotulinumtoxin A), in Japan and China (the “License Agreements”).

The License Agreements established a long-term arrangement under which Allergan licensed rights to Glaxo in Japan and China to commercialize and develop new indications for Botox®, to conduct activities directed toward improving and enhancing Botox® and to participate with Glaxo in the management of the development and commercialization of Botox®. Under the Amendments, Allergan reacquired the rights to develop and sell Botox® in Japan and China for all current and future cosmetic indications. Glaxo retains the rights granted under the License Agreements to develop and sell Botox® in Japan and China for all current and future therapeutic indications. The parties will continue to exchange information relating to product development, safety and supply.

The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendments, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
