Item 8.01. Other Events.

Following discussions between Allergan, Inc. (the "Company") and a leading proxy advisory service in connection with the proxy advisory service's issuance of its voting recommendations for the Company's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company is filing this Form 8-K to clarify that the grants of 30,000 restricted shares and 410,000 nonqualified stock options made by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors to David E.I. Pyott on February 14, 2008 were not made in recognition of the Company's 2008 performance. Instead, the grants were made in recognition of the Company's 2007 performance and as retention vehicles for Mr. Pyott.
