Cephalon Recommends Shareholders Reject Valeant Nominees
Date:4/7/2011

FRAZER, Pa., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cephalon, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEPH) said today in a preliminary consent revocation statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that its Board of Directors has recommended that shareholders reject Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.'s proposals to remove and replace Cephalon's current Board of Directors and not deliver any consent solicitation cards to Valeant.  On April 5, 2011, the Board rejected Valeant's unsolicited proposal to purchase the Company for $73 per share, concluding that the non-binding proposal is inadequate and not in the best interests of Cephalon's shareholders.
