Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents the award of Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") which will vest one-third on each of the three anniversaries following the date of grant, subject to the reporting person's continued service subject to continued service. Vested RSUs are settled in common shares, no par value ("Common Shares"), of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. ("Valeant").

2. Represents a grant of performance-based RSUs. The target number of performance-based RSUs granted to the reporting person was 20,501 and the maximum number that can be distributed is 41,002. The performance-based RSUs shall vest and be distributed between 0-200% of target based on Valeant's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") as measured on January 2, 2020 (the "Measurement Date"). If Valeant's TSR for the period between the grant date and the Measurement Date is below the 50th percentile ranking of the TSR for the applicable peer group, the reporting person will receive no more than the number of Common Shares equal to the target number of performance-based RSUs subject to the award.
