On April 1, 1998, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Watson") filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-49079), as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed April 30, 1998 (collectively, the "Registration Statement"), to register $300,000,000 in aggregate initial offering price of Watson's debt securities, preferred stock and common stock to be offered from time to time. Watson has offered and sold $150,000,000 in aggregate initial offering price of debt securities.
Watson does not intend to offer any additional debt securities, preferred stock and common stock under the Registration Statement and, therefore, is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister the remaining unsold $150,000,000 aggregate amount of debt securities, preferred stock and common stock covered by the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that is has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Corona, state of California, on April 2, 2003.
