LAVAL, Quebec, April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bausch Health
Companies Inc. (NYSE/TSX: BHC) ("Bausch Health" or the "Company")
announced today that, due to the emerging public health impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health and safety of its
partners and shareholders, the location of the Company's 2020
annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") has been
changed and will be held in a virtual meeting format only. As
previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on
Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at
9:00 a.m. EDT.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote in advance of the
Annual Meeting by any of the means described on the proxy card or
voting instruction form previous received, including by voting
online at www.proxyvote.com. Shareholders can participate in the
live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BHC2020.
In order to pose questions and vote at the virtual Annual Meeting,
shareholders must enter the 16-digit control number found on their
proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials previously received. Previously
distributed proxy materials will not be updated or resent, and they
may continue to be used to vote individual shares in connection
with the Annual Meeting. In order to facilitate participation
by non-record shareholders at the virtual Annual Meeting on the
same basis as record shareholders, Bausch Health has waived the
deadline for the deposit of proxies of 11:59
p.m. EDT on Friday, April 24, 2020 (or, in the case of any
adjournment of the Annual Meeting, not less than 48 hours,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and applicable holidays, prior to the
time of the rescheduled Annual Meeting), and will accept votes by
proxy up to the time of voting.
Further information regarding this change of location of the
Annual Meeting and the means of accessing, asking questions and
voting at the virtual-only Annual Meeting can be found in the
updated notice of meeting filed by the Company with the U.S.
