(d) Appointment of Director
On March 25, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Mr. David P. Holveck to the Board effective immediately. As previously disclosed, Mr. Holveck has been appointed to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., effective April 1, 2008.
The information contained in Item 5.02 of the Company’s Current Report on 8-K filed on March 12, 2008, is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The Company currently expects to hold its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in June. In recent years the Company has held its annual meeting in late May. Delaying the meeting will allow more time to facilitate the Company’s transition to David Holveck’s new leadership. The Company currently expects to issue a press release in April announcing the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting.
On March 25, 2008, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), effective immediately, to extend the date by which stockholders may submit business proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting. The Amendment will give stockholders who want to propose business at the 2008 Annual Meeting, more time to do so. In addition, the Amendment provides that stockholders proposing nominees for director must give prior written notice to the Company. For the 2008 Annual Meeting, stockholders will be required to submit business proposals and nominations with respect to the election of directors not later than 10 days following the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed to stockholders or the day that the Company announces the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting, whichever first occurs. Deadlines for the submission by stockholders of business proposals and stockholder nominations with respect to the election of directors for the 2008 Annual Meeting will be announced when the Company announces the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
