Special Note Regarding Litigation
As described in the Special Meetings Solicitation Statement, the Special Meetings Proxy Statements and the Extraordinary General Meeting Proxy Statement, Horizon Pharma is currently challenging Depomeds bylaw-mandated process for calling a special meeting of shareholders as contrary to California law in a judicial proceeding seeking to protect Depomed shareholders franchise rights. With that judicial challenge pending, the Special Meetings Solicitation Statement and accompanying WHITE and BLUE proxy cards that have been distributed to Depomed shareholders and the Special Meetings Proxy Statements and accompanying WHITE and BLUE proxy cards that will be distributed to Depomed shareholders reflect Horizon Pharmas good faith effort to nevertheless comply with what we believe is an onerous process for calling a special meeting of shareholders imposed by the Depomed board of directors. The Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, where our judicial challenge is pending, calendared for November 5, 2015 a hearing on a preliminary injunction motion by a subsidiary of Horizon Pharma to enjoin, among other things, the enforcement of Depomeds bylaws that mandate what we believe to be the onerous process for calling a special meeting of shareholders. The Court subsequently continued the hearing from November 5, 2015 to November 19, 2015. On that same date, the Court is also scheduled to hold a hearing on a preliminary injunction motion by Depomed for its claims against Horizon Pharma and its subsidiary.
Certain Information Regarding Participants
Horizon Pharma and/or Depomed and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other employees and the Horizon Pharma nominees may be deemed participants in the solicitations of proxies in connection with the requests to call the Special Meetings, to vote in favor of the principal proposals described in the Special Meetings Proxy Statements if the Special Meetings are called and held and to vote in favor of the principal proposals described in the Extraordinary General Meeting Proxy Statement.

You can find information about Depomeds directors, executive officers and its employees who are participants in such solicitation in Depomeds definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 16, 2015, Depomeds definitive revocation statement filed with the SEC on September 30, 2015 and as may be supplemented from time to time, the Special Meetings Solicitation Statement, the Special Meetings Proxy Statements and in such other solicitation statements, proxy statements or other documents that would be filed with the SEC in connection with the Special Meetings.

What is FA
FA is a hereditary disease caused by a genetic mutation in the frataxin (FXN) gene
- FXN gene first identified in 1996
GAA triplet in the FXN gene is repeated 5 33 times in healthy subjects but 66 1000+ times in FA patients Abnormal GAA triplet repeat disrupts production of frataxin Low frataxin = mitochondrial dysfunction and energy deprivation = multi system disease

ACTIMMUNE Phase 3 Trial in FA
STEADFAST Trial Design
Patients randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous doses of either ACTIMMUNE or placebo three times a week for a total of 26 weeks
Approximately 90 patients will be enrolled at four sites in the U.S. CHOP University of Florida University of Iowa and UCLA
Primary endpoint will measure the change in neurological outcome and evaluate the effect of ACTIMMUNE versus placebo as measured by the modified Friedreichs Ataxia Rating Scale (FARS mNeuro) focused on objective neurologic measures
FARS mNeuro is a subset of the total FARS score removing components viewed by FDA to be more subjective and effort dependent
FARS mNeuro score in the Phase 2 study (p=0.0117) is consistent with the previously reported total FARS score (p=0.0078)

Mechanistic Rationale Why ACTIMMUNE May Enhance Activity of PD 1/PD L1 Inhibitors
Interferon gamma (IFN ) may promote or enhance the effect of the PD 1 or PD L1 inhibitors
IFN exhibited superior and more durable enhancement of PD L1 expression in endothelial cell lines vs. IFN and IFN (1)
Tumor PD L1 upregulation appears to be a factor most strongly correlated with response to PD 1 blockade(2)
Interferon gamma will be used to induce PD L1 upregulation in tumor cells to increase the likelihood of response to a PD 1 inhibitor
Note: Use of ACTIMMUNE with PD 1 and PD L1 inhibitors is investigational only and safety and efficacy has not been established for use with any PD 1 and PD L1 inhibitor. For further information see www.ACTIMMUNE.com.

The Increasing Burden of Arthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis 26.9 million adults ( 25 years of age) in the U.S. have clinical OA1 Approximately 2.8 million adults ( 18 years of age) in the US have rheumatoid arthritis (RA)2
Prevalence in U.S. is expected to increase with the aging of the population3
NSAIDs are commonly prescribed to treat OA/RA4
NSAID = nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug. OA = osteoarthritis, RA = rheumatoid arthritis, U.S. = United States.

Serious Consequences of NSAID Use
As many as 25% of chronic NSAID users will develop ulcer disease1
2% to 4% will develop a bleed or perforation1,2
Serious GI complications such as inflammation, bleeding, ulceration and perforation can occur at any time, with or without warning symptoms2 In patients with arthritis who are taking NSAIDs3:
>107,000 hospitalizations per year for serious GI complications >16,500 deaths per year
Managing and preventing NSAID associated gastropathy has been estimated to cost more than $4 billion annually4

American College of Rheumatology Prescribing Guidelines for NSAIDs
Prescribing guidelines for treating OA and RA call for gastroprotective agents to be taken along with NSAIDs to lessen the risk of serious GI side effects such as ulcers.
Risk factors Include: Age 65 years A history of uncomplicated ulcer
High-does NSAID therapy Concurrent of aspirin (including low does), corticosteroids or anticoagulants
High Risk Moderate Risk Low Risk

2. Generic famotidine is not approved to reduce upper GI ulcers
Please see Important Safety Information in appendix.
82
|
DUEXIS
Indications and Usage
DUEXIS is indicated for
The relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and to decrease the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers in patients who are taking ibuprofen for those indications
In the clinical trials, upper GI ulcer was defined as a gastric and/or duodenal ulcer
The clinical trials primarily enrolled patients <65 years of age without a prior history of GI ulcer. Controlled trials did not extend beyond 6 months
Please see Important Safety Information in appendix.
83
|
DUEXIS Phase 3 Clinical Program
REDUCE 1 and REDUCE 2
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of DUEXIS in reducing the proportion of patients who develop endoscopically diagnosed upper gastrointestinal ulcers during the 24 week treatment period, as compared to ibuprofen, in subjects at risk for NSAID induced ulcers

2020 Long Range Plan
Adjusted EBITDA Margins Expected to Expand as Orphan Becomes Majority of Business
Potential $2B+ business from existing portfolio of medicines
Assumes sales from potential approval of ACTIMMUNE for FA
Does not include $300 $500M of potential sales for ACTIMMUNE in
various cancer treatments if approved in cancer indications
Does not include any acquisition net sales
Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to expand to ~60% driven by
decreases in:
Sales and marketing as a percent of sales assuming the Orphan
business unit becomes a majority of the business
G&A as a percent of sales as the G&A infrastructure that we are
currently building is leveraged

Selected Safety Information (contd)
DUEXIS should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma urticaria or allergic reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe rarely fatal anaphylaxis with NSAIDs has been reported in such patients. DUEXIS is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. DUEXIS is contraindicated in patients in late stages of pregnancy as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus may occur.
DUEXIS should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to other H2 receptor antagonists. Cross sensitivity with other H2 receptor antagonists has been observed When active and clinically significant bleeding from any source occurs in patients receiving DUEXIS the treatment should be withdrawn Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. DUEXIS should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure

DUEXIS Important Safety Information (contd)
Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. DUEXIS should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure Long term administration of NSAIDs including ibuprofen which is a component of DUEXIS tablets has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury. Use DUEXIS with caution in patients at risk (eg the elderly; those with renal impairment heart failure or liver impairment; and those taking diuretics or ACE inhibitors) Hepatic injury ranging from transaminase elevations to liver failure can occur.
If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if systemic manifestations occur DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately Anaphylaxis may occur in patients with the aspirin triad or in patients without prior exposure to DUEXIS. If an anaphylactoid reaction occurs DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately

VIMOVO Important Safety Information
WARNING: CARDIOVASCULAR AND GASTROINTESTINAL RISKS
Cardiovascular Risk
Naproxen a component of VIMOVO may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events myocardial infarction and stroke which can be fatal. This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk VIMOVO is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
Gastrointestinal Risk
NSAIDs including naproxen a component of VIMOVO cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding ulceration and perforation of the stomach or intestines which can be fatal.
These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal (GI) events
151
|
Selected Safety Information (contd)
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals
There is no consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates the increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with NSAID use. As with all NSAIDs concurrent administration of VIMOVO and aspirin is not generally recommended because of the potential of increased adverse events.
NSAIDs including VIMOVO can cause serious GI adverse events which can be fatal.
The risk is greater in patients with a prior history of ulcer disease or GI bleeding and in patients at high risk for GI events especially the elderly. VIMOVO should be used with caution in these patients Several studies and literature reports indicate that long term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis related fractures of the hip wrist or spine The most commonly observed adverse events in clinical trials (experienced by >5% patients in the VIMOVO group) were erosive gastritis dyspepsia gastritis diarrhea gastric ulcer upper abdominal pain and nausea

VIMOVO Important Safety Information (contd)
VIMOVO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of VIMOVO or substituted benzimidazoles; in patients with a history of asthma urticaria or other allergic type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs; in patients during the perioperative period in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery; or in patients in the late stages of pregnancy Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals Treatment should be withdrawn when active and clinically significant bleeding from any source occurs
155
|
VIMOVO Important Safety Information (contd)
As with all NSAIDs VIMOVO can lead to the onset of new hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of CV events. Blood pressure should be monitored closely. NSAIDs including VIMOVO may diminish the antihypertensive effect of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists beta blockers and in some patients can reduce the natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazides Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs including VIMOVO.
NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure Two large controlled clinical trials of a COX 2 selective NSAID for the treatment of pain in the first 10 14 days following CABG surgery found an increased incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke

As with all NSAIDs concurrent administration of VIMOVO and aspirin is not generally recommended because of the potential of increased adverse events.
NSAIDs including VIMOVO can cause serious GI adverse events which can be fatal. The risk is greater in patients with a prior history of ulcer disease or GI bleeding and in patients at high risk for GI events especially the elderly. VIMOVO should be used with caution in these patients
157
|
VIMOVO Important Safety Information (contd)
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between use of psychotropic drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake and the occurrence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
In two studies concurrent use of an NSAID COX 2 inhibitor or aspirin potentiated the risk of bleeding. Although these studies focused on upper gastrointestinal bleeding bleeding at other sites cannot be ruled out NSAIDs should be given with care to patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis Crohns disease) as their condition may be exacerbated Symptomatic response to esomeprazole a component of VIMOVO does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy Atrophic gastritis has been noted occasionally in gastric corpus biopsies from patients treated long term with omeprazole of which VIMOVO contains an enantiomer Anaphylactoid reactions may occur in patients without known prior exposure to either component of VIMOVO. NSAIDs should not be given to patients with aspirin triad
158

VIMOVO Important Safety Information (contd)
NSAIDs can cause serious skin adverse reactions such as exfoliative dermatitis Stevens Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis which can be fatal. These serious events may occur without warning. Discontinue VIMOVO at first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity In late pregnancy as with other NSAIDs VIMOVO should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus VIMOVO is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal insufficiency.
In addition NSAIDs may cause renal toxicity
VIMOVO is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic insufficiency. Consider dose reduction in mild/moderate hepatic insufficiency. If abnormal liver enzymes persist or worsen discontinue use immediately Several studies and literature reports indicate that long term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis related fractures of the hip wrist or spine PPI therapy may be associated with increased risk of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea
159
|
VIMOVO Important Safety Information (contd)
Avoid concomitant use of esomeprazole with clopidogrel due to a reduction in plasma concentrations of the active metabolite of clopidogrel. When using esomeprazole consider alternative anti platelet therapy Hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely with prolonged treatment with PPIs Avoid concomitant use of VIMOVO with St Johns Wort or rifampin due to the potential reduction in esomeprazole levels Esomeprazole a component of VIMOVO inhibits gastric acid secretion and may interfere with the absorption of drugs where gastric pH is an important determinant of bioavailability (eg ketoconazole iron salts and digoxin) Concomitant use of VIMOVO and warfarin may result in increased risk of bleeding complications. Monitor for increases in INR and prothrombin time The most commonly observed adverse events in clinical trials (experienced by >5% patients in the VIMOVO group)were erosive gastritis dyspepsia gastritis diarrhea gastric ulcer upper abdominal pain and nausea
