Valeant says ready to raise Allergan bid to at least $200/share

(Reuters) - Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc said it is prepared to improve its offer for Allergan Inc to at least $200 per share.

The Botox maker's shares closed at $184.21 on Friday.

Valeant Chief Executive Michael Pearson said in a letter to ALLERGAN (AGN.NY)s board that Allergan's stock would not be trading at the multiples it is now if it were not for Valeant's offer.

Pearson told Reuters last week that a possible revised stock-and-cash bid would be worth more than $200 per share, assuming that Valeant's stock rises, and would include more cash.
