The complaint in the Finuliar Action also asserts state law claims against the members of the Zogenix Board alleging that they breached their fiduciary duty of candor/disclosure by causing or permitting the Schedule 14D-9 to be filed. The Complaints seek, among other relief, to enjoin or rescind the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, direct the filing of a new or amended Schedule 14D-9, and/or obtain an award of damages, and attorneys fees and/or costs.
If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we do not intend to announce such additional filings.
