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.
