(NYSE: VRX and TSX: VRX) ("Valeant" or  the "Company") today announced that it has received a notice of default from the trustee under one of its senior note indentures as a result of the delay in Valeant filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.  The notice of default does not result in the acceleration of any of Valeant's indebtedness.
