Bausch Health is asking shareholders to ratify a shareholder rights plan at a Special Meeting to be held via webcast on October 7, 2025 (record shareholders as of August 18, 2025 may vote). The Board adopted the Rights Plan on April 14, 2025 and issued one Right for each Voting Share outstanding at the Record Time. The Rights are intended to ensure all shareholders are treated equally in any unsolicited take-over bid and to discourage creeping acquisitions.
The Rights convert into purchase rights after a defined Separation Time if a person becomes an Acquiring Person (generally at a 20% Beneficial Ownership threshold). The Exercise Price is set at three times the 20-day average Market Price, and a Flip‑In Event can lead to significant dilution for an acquiror. The TSX has given conditional acceptance, and the Rights Plan requires reconfirmation by shareholders every third annual meeting to remain effective.
