The saga at Valeant rumbled on. Michael Pearson decided to quit as chief

executive of the troubled Canadian drug maker. He acknowledged that the past few

months, during which time the company has been criticised for introducing

whopping price increases on heart medicines and has come under federal

investigation for its ties to an online pharmacy, have been “difficult”. He will

stay until a successor is named. The company blamed the “tone at the top of the

organisation” and pressure to achieve targets as factors causing it to restate

its earnings. William Ackman, an activist investor whose hedge fund owns 9% of

Valeant, was appointed to the board.

Pearson)离任。在过去几个月里，该公司由于大幅度上调心脏病药物的价格而饱受指责，并因为与某家网上药店的交易而受到联邦调查。皮尔森承认这几个月十分“难熬”。他将继续掌管公司直到新总裁上任。瓦兰特将公司重申收益归咎于“高层的决策制定”以及达标压力。激进投资者威廉·阿克曼(William

Ackman)被任命为董事会成员，其麾下的对冲基金拥有瓦兰特9%的股份。

businesses to delay spending decisions.
