Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On March 28, 2017, Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) entered into a Cooperation and Support Agreement with the Issuer (the “Agreement”) to implement certain changes to the leadership and governance of the Issuer, which include the following: (i) the appointment of three (3) new directors, including Arthur Higgins, the newly appointed President and CEO of the Issuer, Gavin Molinelli, a Partner of Starboard Value LP, and William McKee, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Barr Pharmaceuticals, LLC; and (ii) the appointment of James Fogarty as the new Chairman of the Board. The following description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, (i) the Board was reconstituted to consist of the following nine (9) directors: Karen Dawes, James Fogarty, Arthur Higgins, Louis Lavigne, William McKee, Gavin Molinelli, Robert Savage, Peter Staple and James Tyree (the “Directors”), with Mr. Fogarty appointed as Chairman of the Board; (ii) the Issuer’s slate of nominees for election as directors at the Issuer’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) shall consist of the Directors (the “2017 Slate”); (iii) the standing committees of the Board shall be reconstituted as follows: (a) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall consist of Messrs. Molinelli (Chairman), Lavigne, McKee and Savage; (b) the Compensation Committee shall consist of Messrs. Savage (Chairman), McKee, Molinelli and Staple; and (c) the Audit Committee shall consist of Messrs. Lavigne (Chairman), Staple and Tyree and Ms. Dawes. The Agreement also provides that during the Period (as defined below), if Mr. Molinelli (or any replacement director) ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, and at such time Starboard beneficially owns in the aggregate at least the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (ii) 1,862,986 Shares, then Starboard has the ability to recommend a substitute person, who meets certain independence and experience criteria.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Starboard agreed, among other things, to appear in person or by proxy at the 2017 Annual Meeting and vote all Shares beneficially owned by it (a) in favor of the 2017 Slate, and (b) during the Period, in a manner consistent with the recommendation of the Board, provided, however, that if Mr. Molinelli has voted against any such matter (other than the 2017 Slate) in a vote of the Board, Starboard shall be permitted to vote against the Board’s recommendation with respect to such matter.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Starboard agreed to certain customary standstill provisions, effective as of the date of the Agreement until 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder nominations for the Issuer’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Period”). The standstill provisions generally prohibit Starboard from taking specified actions with respect to the Issuer and its securities, including, among others: (i) soliciting or participating in the solicitation of proxies; (ii) joining any “group” or becoming party to any voting arrangement or agreement; (iii) seeking or encouraging others to submit nominations for election or removal of directors; (iv) making shareholder proposals or offers with respect to mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations; or (v) seeking board representation other than as provided in the Agreement.

EXECUTION VERSION

COOPERATION AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This Cooperation and Support Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 28, 2017 by and among Depomed, Inc. (the “Company”) and the entities and natural persons set forth in the signature pages hereto (collectively, “Starboard”) (each of the Company and Starboard, a “Party” to this Agreement, and collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Starboard has a beneficial ownership interest in shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) totaling approximately 8.8% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof;

WHEREAS, the Company and Starboard have engaged in various constructive discussions and communications concerning the Company’s business, financial performance, governance and strategic plans, and based on, among other things, such discussions and communications the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) determined that it is in the best interests of all Company shareholders (i) to implement certain changes to the governance of the Company and (ii) to have Starboard’s support and cooperation as a large shareholder of the Company in connection with the implementation of certain of those changes and other matters related therewith, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Board Composition and Related Agreements.

(a)           Board Composition.

(i)           The Company agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, (A) the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall consist of Ms. Karen Dawes, Mr. James Fogarty, Mr. Arthur Higgins, Mr. Louis Lavigne, Mr. William McKee, Mr. Gavin Molinelli, Mr. Robert Savage, Mr. Peter Staple and Mr. James Tyree (collectively, the “Directors”) and (B) Mr. Fogarty shall be appointed Chairman of the Board.

(ii)          The Company’s slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) shall consist of the nine Directors (the “2017 Slate”).  The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the 2017 Slate at the 2017 Annual Meeting including recommending that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the election of each member of the 2017 Slate and supporting each member of the 2017 Slate for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports any other member of the 2017 Slate.

(iii)         If any Director is unable or unwilling to serve on the 2017 Slate, such Director shall be replaced on the 2017 Slate by a qualified candidate that is (A) recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and (B) approved by the Board.

(iv)         If during the Period (as defined below), Mr. Molinelli or any Starboard Replacement Director (as defined below) ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, and at such time Starboard beneficially owns in the aggregate at least the lesser of (x) 3.0% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock and (y) 1,862,986 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments), then Starboard will have the right to recommend a replacement director candidate for Mr. Molinelli or any Starboard Replacement Director (any such replacement director nominee shall be referred to as a “Starboard Replacement Director”).  Any Starboard Replacement Director who is an employee of Starboard will be approved and appointed to the Board no later than five (5) business days following the submission of all completed onboarding documentation required so long as such Starboard Replacement Director meets the independence requirements pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards.  Any Starboard Replacement Director who is independent of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the board of another company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person not to be deemed independent of Starboard) must be (A) reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), (B) qualify as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, and (C) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make its determination and recommendation regarding whether such independent Starboard Replacement Director meets the foregoing criteria within five (5) business days after (1) such nominee has submitted to the Company the onboarding documentation required for directors and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted customary interview(s) of such nominee.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any interview(s) contemplated by this section as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after Starboard’s submission of such nominee.  In the event the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not accept an independent candidate recommended by Starboard as the Starboard Replacement Director, then Starboard may recommend additional Starboard Replacement Director candidate(s), who may be an employee of Starboard or independent of Starboard, and whose appointment to the Board will be subject to the respective procedures outlined in this section.  Upon the recommendation of an independent Starboard Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Starboard Replacement Director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommendation of such Starboard Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such independent Starboard Replacement Director to the Board pursuant to this section, the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this section until a Starboard Replacement Director is elected to the Board.  Upon a Starboard Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Starboard Replacement Director to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal.  Until such time as any Starboard Replacement Director is appointed to any applicable committee, one of the other Directors (as designated by Starboard) will serve as an interim member of such applicable committee.

(b)           Committee Appointments.

(i)           During the Period (as defined below) each committee of the Board, including any new committee(s) that may be established, shall include at least one of Ms. Dawes, Mr. Lavigne and Mr. Staple and each of Ms. Dawes, Mr. Lavigne and Mr. Staple shall serve on at least one committee of the Board.

(ii)          The Company agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the standing committees of the Board shall be composed as follows:

Nominating and Corporate Governance	Compensation	Audit
Gavin Molinelli (Chairman)	Robert Savage (Chairman)	Louis Lavigne (Chairman)
Louis Lavigne	William McKee	Karen Dawes
William McKee	Gavin Molinelli	Peter Staple
Robert Savage	Peter Staple	James Tyree

(c)           Additional Agreements.

Starboard agrees that (x) it will appear in person or by proxy at the 2017 Annual Meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Starboard at the 2017 Annual Meeting for the 2017 Slate and (y) during the Period it will vote its shares of Common Stock in any matter that is brought before shareholders of the Company in a manner consistent with the recommendation of the Board (provided, that in the case of clause (y) only, if Mr. Molinelli has voted against such matter in a vote of the Board, Starboard shall be permitted to vote against the Board’s recommendation with respect to such matter).  For purposes of this agreement, the terms “beneficial owner” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the respective meanings as set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act (as defined above).  Starboard agrees that it will cause its controlled Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such controlled Affiliate or Associate.  As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

Newark, CA - March 28, 2017  Depomed, Inc. (NASDAQ: DEPO) today announced that Arthur J. Higgins has joined the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors, following the resignation of James Schoeneck as President and Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Higgins is a highly respected executive with over 35 years’ experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.  Serving as CEO of Bayer Healthcare, he helped transform the company into a leader in global pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare.  He previously served as Chairman and CEO of Enzon, Inc., and President of Abbott Laboratories Pharmaceuticals Division, and more recently has served as Senior Advisor to The Blackstone Group.

“I am honored to be able to work with the management and the Board of Depomed.  We have an opportunity to accelerate Depomed’s journey as a leader in pain management and neurology as we maximize value for all shareholders,” said Mr. Higgins.

Composition of the Board

Depomed also announced that Mr. Higgins, William McKee, former Chief Financial Officer of Barr Pharmaceuticals, LLC, and Gavin Molinelli a Partner at Starboard Value LP have joined the Board of Directors, and that Samuel Saks, M.D. and David Zenoff, D.B.A. have resigned from the Board.  Karen Dawes, James Fogarty, Louis Lavigne, Jr., Robert Savage, Peter Staple and James Tyree will continue as members of the Board.  James Fogarty will serve as the new Chairman of the Board.

Peter Staple said, "On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Sam Saks and David Zenoff for their contributions as directors. They have each played an important role in the Company's growth and have provided the rest of the Board and the management team with valuable insights and leadership over many years."

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement to work with Depomed.  We believe that Arthur Higgins is an excellent choice to lead Depomed. We are excited to have found such a qualified leader for the Company.  Furthermore, we believe the addition of William McKee as a member of the Board of Directors will add valuable industry experience to the boardroom.  I look forward to working with my fellow board members to maximize value for all shareholders,” said Gavin Molinelli, Partner of Starboard Value LP.

William McKee is a pharmaceutical industry consultant and board member of Cerulean Pharma, Inc. and Agile Therapeutics.  Formerly, Mr. McKee served as COO and CFO at EKR Therapeutics, Inc., a private specialty pharmaceutical company, until EKR was sold to Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc.  Prior to that, Mr. McKee served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc., a public specialty pharmaceutical company, which was acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Gavin Molinelli is a Partner of Starboard Value LP.  Prior to joining Starboard and its related funds in 2006, Mr. Molinelli was a member of the Technology Investment Banking group at Banc of America Securities LLC.  Mr. Molinelli was formerly on the Board of Directors of Wausau Paper Corp. and Actel Corporation.

First Quarter Results

Depomed also announced that it estimates net sales for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 will be approximately $95 to $100 million.  First quarter results reflect the impact of the previously announced realignment of the Company’s sales force effective February 1, 2017 and the fact that the Company had a significant number of openings in its field sales force in the first quarter, as well as wholesalers’ reductions of inventory of our products in the first quarter and continued weakness in the long-acting and short-acting opioid markets.

The Company will revise its financial guidance for the year at its earnings call for the first quarter which is expected to take place in the week of May 8, 2017.
