Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. Prices $250 Million Senior Subordinated Notes

(SANTA ANA, CA), March 27, 2007 — Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO) [NYSE: EYE], today announced the pricing of a private offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.50% senior subordinated notes due 2017. The notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. foreign investors in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S, respectively, under the Securities Act of 1933. The sale of the notes is conditioned upon and will be consummated substantially concurrent with the closing of the merger with IntraLase Corp. (IntraLase).

The notes will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations of AMO. AMO will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2007. Beginning May 1, 2012, AMO may redeem any or all of the notes at specified redemption prices together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, at any time on or before May 1, 2010, AMO may use the proceeds of certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 107.5% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, AMO will be required to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

AMO expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, and borrowings under a new senior credit facility that it expects to enter into, (1) to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of IntraLase, pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 5, 2007, by and among AMO, IntraLase and Ironman Merger Corporation; (2) to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its existing senior credit facility, if any; (3) to pay related fees and expenses; and (4) for other general corporate purposes with any remaining proceeds.
