FIRST AMENDED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT


Table of Contents

     This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2003 by ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ICN”or “Parent”), relating to the Offer (as defined below) to purchase all outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Ribapharm Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), not owned by ICN or its subsidiaries, at a purchase price of $5.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 10, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”).

Item 11. Additional Information.

     (a)(5) In connection with the consolidated action previously disclosed, on June 26, 2003, a First Amended Class Action Complaint (the “First Amended Complaint”) was filed in that action in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. The First Amended Complaint is brought against Parent by seven individuals who claim to be stockholders of the Company, and is also purportedly brought on behalf of a plaintiff class of all stockholders of the Company, excluding Parent and any related or affiliated person or entity. The First Amended Complaint alleges that Parent breached its fiduciary obligations to the public stockholders of the Company by, among other things, failing to establish entire fairness in either the process or purchase price, and failing to disclose material information. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin Parent from proceeding with the proposed transaction on the terms presently proposed and pending further disclosure, or, alternatively if the transaction is consummated, to rescind the transaction or obtain rescissory damages. Plaintiffs further request an award of monetary damages, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees incurred in connection with the litigation.
