Item 5. Other Events.
On December 22, 1999, the Board of Directors of Inamed Corporation
(the "Company") authorized the amendment of its Amended and Restated Rights
Agreement, dated as of November 16, 1999, resulting in Amendment No. 1 to
Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, between the Company, Appaloosa Management
L.P. and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent ("Rights Agent").
The Board of Directors approved an amendment to the rights plan (i) to
reduce the threshold level of beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock
which triggers the exercisability of the preferred share purchase rights from
15% to 10%, other than for stockholders permitted to report ownership of common
stock of the Company on Schedule 13G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
(ii) to include in the definition of "Associate" of a corporation or
organization a person who beneficially owns 35% or more of any class of equity
securities of a corporation or organization and who is also a director of such
corporation or organization, and (iii) to eliminate a "grandfather clause" from
the definition of "Acquiring Person" that exempted anyone who was an officer or
director of the Company at the time of the adoption of the rights agreement.
This summary description of Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated
Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Rights
Agreement the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is

EXHIBIT INDEX
Exhibit 4.1 Form of Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Rights
Agreement, dated as of December 22, 1999, by and between
Inamed Corporation, Appaloosa Management L.P. and U.S. Stock
Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent.
Exhibit 4.1
FORM OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1, dated as of December 22, 1999 (this
"Amendment"), amends the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of
November 16, 1999 (the "Rights Agreement"), entered into by and between Inamed
Corporation (the "Company") and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent
(the "Rights Agent"). Terms which are capitalized but not defined herein and
which are defined in the Rights Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Rights Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") deems it
desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders that
certain provisions of the Rights Agreement be amended in the manner set forth
herein; and
WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement permits the Rights
Agreement to be amended in the manner set forth herein without the consent of
the holders of the Rights (except that the consent of Appaloosa Management L.P.
is required with respect to the amendment of provision (iv) of Section 1(a) of
the Rights Agreement).
NOW, THEREFORE, the Rights Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
1. Section 1(a) is hereby amended by deleting Section 1(a) in its
entirety and substituting the following therefor:
"(a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person (as such term
is hereinafter defined) who or which, together with all Affiliates and
Associates (as such terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person,
after June 2, 1997, shall become the Beneficial Owner (as such term is
hereinafter defined) of 10% or more of the Common Shares of the
Company then outstanding, but shall not include the Company, any
Subsidiary (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Company, any
employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
Company, or any entity holding Common Shares of the Company for or
pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement that might otherwise be deemed to the contrary: (i) no
Person shall become an "Acquiring Person" as the result of an
acquisition of Common Shares of the Company by the Company which, by
<PAGE>
reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate
number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 10% or more of
the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, provided, however,
that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of
the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share
purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the
Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares
of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an "Acquiring
Person"; (ii) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in
good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an "Acquiring Person"
has become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as
practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person
would no longer be an "Acquiring Person", then such Person shall not
be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person" for any purposes of this
Agreement; (iii) no Person shall be deemed an "Acquiring Person" if
such Person has reported or is required to report his, her or its
ownership of Common Shares of the Company on Schedule 13G under the
Exchange Act (as such term is hereinafter defined) (or any comparable
or successor report), and is eligible to report such ownership on such
schedule, but only to the extent that such Person (A) does not
beneficially own 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares of the
Company and (B) continues to comply with the provisions of this clause
(iii); (iv) Appaloosa Management L.P., together with its Affiliates
and Associates (collectively, "Appaloosa"), shall not be deemed an
"Acquiring Person" for any purpose of this Agreement with respect to
its beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares of the Company so long as Appaloosa does not become the
Beneficial Owner of Common Shares of the Company in an amount in
excess of the "Appaloosa Threshold" (as defined below); and (v) no
Person shall become an "Acquiring Person" as the result of an
acquisition from Appaloosa (or as the result of an acquisition from a
Person who acquired Common Shares of the Company in accordance with
this provision) (an "Appaloosa Transferee") of Common Shares of the
Company if as a result of such acquisition such Person, immediately
after such acquisition, beneficially owns less than 15% of the then
outstanding number of Common Shares of the Company, provided, however,
that such Person shall be deemed an "Acquiring Person" if, at any time
after such Person acquires Common Shares of the Company from Appaloosa
or from an Appaloosa Transferee pursuant to this clause (v), such
Person (A) beneficially owns more than 10% of the outstanding number
of Common Shares of the Company and (B) acquires additional Common
Shares of the Company from a Person other than Appaloosa or an
2
<PAGE>
Appaloosa Transferee. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Appaloosa
Threshold" as at any date shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (A)
all Common Shares of the Company beneficially owned by Appaloosa as of
March 1, 1999 (the "Grandfather Date"), including any Common Shares of
the Company which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Appaloosa
through Warrants or other similar rights held by Appaloosa as of the
Grandfather Date, plus (B) an additional 875,000 Common Shares of the
Company (adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar
transactions) of which Appaloosa may acquire beneficial ownership
after the Grandfather Date, plus (C) all Common Shares of the Company
in which Appaloosa may acquire beneficial ownership after the
Grandfather Date through the exercise of any preemptive or similar
rights held by Appaloosa. The provisions of clause (iv) above shall
not apply to (x) any third party transferees not Affiliated with
Appaloosa except as provided in clause (v) hereof, or (y) any Common
Shares of the Company in which Appaloosa may acquire Beneficial
Ownership after the Grandfather Date other than as described under (B)
or (C) of the preceding sentence."
2. Section 1(b) is hereby amended by deleting Section 1(b) in its
entirety and substituting the following therefor:
"(b) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date of this Agreement, except
that, notwithstanding the definition of "Associate" set forth in Rule
12b-2 of the Exchange Act, a corporation or organization shall not be
deemed to be an "Associate" of a Person solely by reason of such
Person being, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of 35% or
more of any class of equity securities of such corporation or
organization unless such Person is also an officer, director or
partner of such corporation or organization."
3. Section 27 is hereby amended by deleting Section 27 in its
entirety and substituting the following therefor:
"Section 27. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS. The Company may (and the
Rights Agent shall at the direction of the Company) from time to time
3
<PAGE>
supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders
of Right Certificates in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to the Rights which the Company may deem
necessary or desirable, any such supplement or amendment to be
evidenced by a writing signed by the Company and the Rights Agent;
provided, however, that from and after such time as any Person becomes
an Acquiring Person, this Agreement shall not be amended or
supplemented in any manner which would adversely affect the interests
of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or Affiliate
or Associate of an Acquiring Person). Upon delivery of a certificate
from an appropriate officer of the Company which states that the
proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of
this Section 27, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement or
amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not amend,
modify, supplement or replace provision (iv) or provision (v) of
Section 1(a) or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any other
provision of this Agreement which adversely affects the rights and
benefits of Appaloosa under such provision, in any such case without
the prior written consent of Appaloosa. It is understood and agreed
that Appaloosa is a third party beneficiary to this Rights Agreement
and may enforce the provisions of this Section as if it were a party
to the Rights Agreement."
3. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and
each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original,
and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
