As previously disclosed on February 13, 2017, ZELTIQ Aesthetics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Allergan
Holdco US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent), and Blizzard

Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain updates in respect

the proposed Merger (the Proxy Statement), filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 9,
2017, which should be read in its entirety.

Litigation Relating to the Merger

On March 13, 2017, Michael Kreindler, a purported stockholder of
the Company (the Plaintiff), filed a putative class action
complaint against the Company and the members of the Companys
Board of Directors (the Board) in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California (the District
Court). This case is captioned Kreindler v. Zeltiq
Aesthetics, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-1353. The complaint alleges
that (1) the Company and the members of the Board violated
Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, by
filing the Proxy Statement, which allegedly fails to disclose
and/or misrepresents material information about the proposed
Merger, and (2) the members of the Board, as control persons of
the Company, violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act in
connection with the filing of the allegedly materially deficient
Proxy Statement. The Plaintiff has asked the District Court to,
among other things, (i) declare the Proxy Statement is materially
false or misleading, (ii) preliminarily and permanently enjoin
the defendants from proceeding with the proposed Merger, and (ii)
in the event the proposed Merger is consummated, rescind the
proposed Merger or grant rescissory damages. The Company believes
these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend
this action. The Company cannot predict the outcome of or
estimate the possible loss or range of loss from this matter. It
is possible that additional, similar complaints may be filed or
the complaint described above is amended. If this occurs, the
Company does not intend to announce the filing of each
additional, similar complaint or any amended complaint unless it
contain allegations that are substantially distinct from those
made in the pending action described above.
