(a) On February 6, 1999, the government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
seized control of ICN Yugoslavia. This action, based on a decision reached
by the Ministry for Economic and Property Transformation on November 26,
1998, effectively reduced the Company's equity ownership of ICN Yugoslavia
from 75% to 35%. The Company has commenced litigation in the United States
District Court of the District of Columbia against the government of
Yugoslavia and related agencies to recover damages and obtain injunctive
relief.
