On June 6, 2014, the following email was sent by a member of the board of directors of XenoPort, Inc. to representatives of Orbimed Advisors LLC (a XenoPort stockholder) pertaining to certain proxy matters up for vote at XenoPort’s annual meeting scheduled for June 11, 2014:
Hi Sam, its been a while since my isoganin “is-a-goner” days when you and I had many interesting interactions I trust you are well. This note is to petition Orbimed to vote their shares for XENO mgmt. Our share price is up 30% from recent lows and I can attest that the strategy going forward of a combination of a marketed product generating increasing revenue each quarter plus a very promising clinical program in a large market opportunity bodes well for investors. by creating a much derisked plan going forward. My recent VIVUS experience with Sam Colon showed me again that changing horses doesn’t automatically guarantee a better outcome but it sure does turn things on their head which by itself is incredibly disruptive. I ask that you give Ron and his team the opportunity to execute their strategy. I much prefer that vs. turning the Company into a one-trick pony as suggested by the Clinton group.
As always,
