Actavis to change name to Allergan
Actavis plc announced that it will adopt a new corporate name - Allergan - following the anticipated successful completion of the acquisition of Allergan , Inc. The Company said that it intends to use the Allergan name as its corporate name and for its global branded pharmaceutical portfolio, and will retain the Actavis name for select geographic regions and product portfolios. The change in corporate name would be subject to approval by Actavis' shareholders at its Annual General Meeting later this year.
