Additional Information
Depomed noted that today's purported increase does not reflect any increase in the amount of Horizon stock that the Depomed shareholders would receive, nor any increase in the pro-forma ownership for the Depomed shareholders, and is the result of the trading value of Horizon's stock having increased since it made its initial offer.Depomed is in the midst of a significant transformation and on track to become one of the top-five largest companies in the U.S. pain market based on revenues. The Company recently re-launched its flagship product, NUCYNTA®, which is expected to significantly increase Depomed's product revenue, cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share beginning in 2015 and continuing through the mid-2020s. Depomed's broad pain product portfolio, strong intellectual property position and lengthy market exclusivity for products positions the company perfectly for long-term, sustainable growth. Depomed is focused on delivering significant shareholder value both now and into the future.
