Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

On May 3, 2011, the stockholders of Allergan, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Allergan, Inc. 2011 Incentive Award Plan (the “2011 Plan”) at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company’s board of directors previously approved the 2011 Plan on February 1, 2011. The 2011 Plan represents an amendment and restatement of the Allergan, Inc. 2008 Incentive Award Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The terms of the 2011 Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the 2008 Plan, except for changes intended to (i) increase the authorized shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan by an additional 23,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) increase the number of shares counted against the authorized share reserve from 1.4 to 2.46 for each share delivered in settlement of an award granted under the 2011 Plan other than an option, stock appreciation right or any other award for which the holder pays the intrinsic value existing as of the grant date; (iii) add the ability to grant deferred stock units; (iv) eliminate a term providing for automatic “single-trigger” accelerated vesting of all outstanding awards upon the occurrence of a change in control; (v) eliminate a term providing for automatic annual grants of stock options to nonemployee directors; (vi) replace a program of automatic restricted stock grants to certain nonemployee directors with a program of automatic restricted stock unit grants to certain nonemployee directors; (vii) revise the list of performance criteria and adjustments that may be used for awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m); (viii) extend the period during which awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan to January 31, 2021; and (ix) make a number of miscellaneous changes intended to facilitate administration of the 2011 Plan and compliance with applicable laws.

The 2011 Plan was filed as Annex B to the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
