AND

STARBOARD VALUE AND OPPORTUNITY MASTER FUND LTD

To the Fellow Shareholders of Depomed, Inc.:

This solicitation statement (the “Solicitation Statement”), the enclosed form of Special Meeting Request attached as Exhibit A (the “Special Meeting Request Form”), the enclosed form of instruction letter to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) attached as Exhibit B-1 (the “DTC Instruction Letter”), the enclosed form of written request for a special meeting from DTC’s nominee attached as Exhibit B-2 (the “Cede & Co. Meeting Request”), the enclosed form of letter from the brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution that is the holder of record of your shares of Common Stock (“DTC participant”) verifying your beneficial ownership of Common Stock attached as Exhibit C (the “Verification Letter”) and the accompanying WHITE Proxy Card attached as Exhibit D (the “WHITE Proxy Card”) are being furnished to you as a shareholder of Depomed, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company” or “Depomed”), by and on behalf of Starboard Value LP (“Starboard Value”), a Delaware limited partnership, Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd, an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Starboard V&O Fund”), Starboard Value and Opportunity S LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Starboard S LLC”), Starboard Value and Opportunity C LP, Delaware limited partnership (“Starboard C LP”), Starboard Value GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Starboard Value GP”), Starboard Principal Co LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Principal Co”), Starboard Principal Co GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Principal GP”), Starboard Value R LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Starboard R LP”), Starboard Value R GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“Starboard R GP”), and Jeffrey C. Smith, Mark R. Mitchell, Peter A. Feld, Gavin T. Molinelli, John J. Delucca, James P. Fogarty, Peter A. Lankau, Mary K. Pendergast, Robert G. Savage, and James L. Tyree (collectively, unless context requires otherwise, “we,” “our” or “Starboard”), for the purpose of soliciting revocable proxies from Company shareholders to empower us to deliver to the Company the Special Meeting Request Form on your behalf to call a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the purposes described in the Solicitation Statement (the “Special Meeting”).

Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the California Corporations Code (the “CGCL”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the holders of shares of Common Stock (as defined below) entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at the Special Meeting (the “Special Meeting Percentage”) are entitled to call the Special Meeting, subject to the information and procedural requirements of Sections 2 and 5(d) of the Bylaws.

As of August 15, 2016, Starboard V&O Fund was the holder of record of 1,000 shares of Depomed common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), and collectively, the members of Starboard, including the Nominees (as defined below), beneficially owned in the aggregate 6,031,450 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 9.83% of such shares that would be entitled to call the Special Meeting pursuant to the CGCL and the Bylaws if the Request Record Date (as defined below) had been set as August 2, 2016, based on 61,366,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date, which is the Company’s most recent publicly available number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Starboard believes that Depomed is deeply undervalued and that significant opportunities exist to create shareholder value based on actions within the control of the Depomed Board of Directors (the “Board”). Starboard also continues to have significant concerns regarding the manner in which Depomed is being governed by the current Board. Consistent with Starboard’s concerns, on April 8, 2016, Starboard V&O Fund delivered to Depomed the documentation required under the Bylaws to request that the Board set a record date for determining the shareholders entitled to call a special meeting (the “Initial Record Date Request Notice”). On May 26, 2016, Starboard withdrew its Initial Record Date Request Notice and proposals and delivered a new Record Date Request Notice to Depomed (the “Record Date Request Notice”).

For additional background on Starboard’s communications with the Company, please see the section titled “Background and Past Contacts” in the Solicitation Statement below.

We believe the Board lacks the leadership, objectivity, and perspective needed to make decisions that are in the best interests of shareholders. To this end, we are seeking your support to call the Special Meeting in order to effect much-needed change to the composition of the Board.

Accordingly, we are hereby asking you to help us request that Depomed call the Special Meeting for the following purposes:

to remove from office, without cause, the six (6) members of the current Board, constituting the entire current Board, Peter D. Staple, Karen A. Dawes, Louis J. Lavigne, Jr., Samuel R. Saks, James A. Schoeneck and David B. Zenoff, as well as any person or persons elected or appointed to the Board without shareholder approval after Depomed’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and up to and including the date of the Special Meeting, each such removal to become effective upon the election of each successor by the shareholders of the Company;

in the event that the Board is fixed at some size other than six (6) members as of the date of the Special Meeting, that Section 16 of the Bylaws be amended to fix the size of the Board at six (6) members;

to elect the following six (6) individuals to serve as directors on the Board, contingent on Proposal 1 being passed, John J. Delucca, James P. Fogarty, Peter A. Lankau, Gavin T. Molinelli, Mary K. Pendergast, and Jeffrey C. Smith (each, a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”); and

to repeal any amendment or provision of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board that changes the Bylaws in any way from the version of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board on July 12, 2015 through the date of the Special Meeting, and that the section of the Bylaws entitled “AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS” be amended to eliminate the power of the Board to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws from the date of the Special Meeting through 120 days following such date as set forth in such section of the Bylaws (Proposals 1 through 4 above are collectively referred to as the “Proposals”).

At this time, we are soliciting your revocable proxy to empower us to deliver your valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Form and Cede & Co. Meeting Request, along with a Verification Letter, as applicable, to a designated officer of the Company to call the Special Meeting. We are not currently seeking your proxy, consent, authorization or agent designation for approval of any proposals or any other actions that would be considered at the Special Meeting. In the event the Special Meeting is called, we will send you proxy materials relating to a vote on the Proposals.

For additional details on the Proposals, please see the section titled “Our Plans for the Special Meeting” in the Solicitation Statement below.

Shareholder-Called Special Meeting Process Overview

Generally, for Depomed shareholders to call the Special Meeting, (i) a shareholder must request that the Board set a record date for determining shareholders entitled to request the Special Meeting (the “Request Record Date”) by sending written notice to the Secretary of the Company, and (ii) one or more written requests for the Special Meeting signed by shareholders entitled as of the Request Record Date to cast not less than the Special Meeting Percentage must be submitted to and received by any designated officer of the Company within thirty (30) days of the Request Record Date. Once such written requests are received by a designated officer of the Company, the Company shall have five (5) business days to determine whether such submitting shareholders have satisfied the requirements under the Bylaws for calling the Special Meeting.

The enclosed Special Meeting Request Form reflects our good faith effort to identify all the information required by the Bylaws in connection with shareholders’ written request for the Special Meeting with respect to Starboard V&O Fund as the shareholder soliciting fellow shareholders to call such meeting. This form asks for certain additional information that the Company could maintain is necessary in order to validly submit a request for the Special Meeting. We do not concede that this information is required to be submitted to the Company in order to validly require the Company to call the Special Meeting, and we believe that it is not required. However, we intend to submit this information to the Company in order to avoid any possible challenge by the Company to our request for the Special Meeting, even though we believe that such a challenge would be frivolous. We encourage you to submit your Special Meeting Request Form and accompanying WHITE Proxy Card as soon as possible to permit us to submit your Special Meeting Request Form.

On May 26, 2016, when Starboard V&O Fund submitted the Record Date Request Notice to Depomed, it was the beneficial owner of 4,636,387 shares of Common Stock (1,000 shares of which were and are held in record name), and collectively with Starboard Value and its affiliates and Nominees, beneficially owned in the aggregate 6,031,450 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 9.83% of such shares that would be entitled to call the Special Meeting pursuant to the CGCL and the Bylaws if the Request Record Date had been set as of August 2, 2016, based on 61,366,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date. The Record Date Request Notice is attached as Exhibit E to the Solicitation Statement.

Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Board has set August 19, 2016 as the Request Record Date. Holders of record of shares of Common Stock as of the Request Record Date will be entitled to submit a WHITE Proxy Card to permit us to submit the Special Meeting Request Form on their respective behalves to call the Special Meeting.

As the next step in calling the Special Meeting, we are now soliciting revocable proxies from Depomed shareholders to empower us to deliver the Special Meeting Request Forms and Cede & Co. Meeting Requests, along with the Verification Letters, as applicable, to call the Special Meeting. From the Request Record Date, we have thirty (30) days to solicit such revocable proxies and for the Company to be in receipt of the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards from shareholders representing the Special Meeting Percentage together with Starboard’s shares of Common Stock before a new Request Record Date must be requested from the Board and the process for a shareholder-called special meeting must be restarted.

Please join us in requesting that Depomed call the Special Meeting and show the Board that shareholders want to have their voices heard.

Why You Were Sent The Solicitation Statement

As noted above, Starboard acquired its position in Depomed because it believes that Depomed is substantially undervalued and opportunities exist to create significant value for shareholders. Starboard has significant concerns regarding serious corporate governance deficiencies existing at Depomed, questionable capital allocation decisions, and egregious actions taken by the Board to impede strategic interest in acquiring Depomed and to suppress shareholder rights.

Depomed’s corporate governance deficiencies are exemplified (i) by the manner in which it sought to fend off an unsolicited proposal from Horizon Pharma plc (“Horizon”) in 2015 through its unilateral adoption of a poison pill with a 10% trigger threshold and Bylaw amendments aimed at making it significantly more difficult and time-consuming for shareholders to call a special meeting, and more recently, (ii) by the surreptitious manner in which the Board attempted to further entrench itself under the guise of a proposal to reincorporate the Company in Delaware.

Starboard has little doubt that if it had not called attention to certain important provisions relating to the proposed reincorporation from California to Delaware (the “Reincorporation Proposal”) that were buried in the appendices of Depomed’s proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the Reincorporation Proposal would still be an item on the Annual Meeting’s agenda.

Given the apparent willingness of the current Board members to take extraordinary action to entrench themselves, as demonstrated by the Board’s responses to the Horizon offers and its now withdrawn Delaware reincorporation proposal, Starboard believes that a significant Board overhaul is required at Depomed in order to ensure that the Company is being run in a manner consistent with the best interests of all shareholders. We feel strongly that the Board, as currently constituted, is incapable of unlocking the significant value that exists within Depomed and urge shareholders to join in requesting that Depomed call the Special Meeting.

Summary Proxy Submission Procedures

We are asking the Company’s shareholders to complete, sign and date the Special Meeting Request Form and Cede & Co. Meeting Request, along with a Verification Letter, as applicable, and the accompanying WHITE Proxy Card so that Starboard V&O Fund may submit the Special Meeting Request Form to call the Special Meeting by following the steps outlined below, and to return each of the Special Meeting Request Form, WHITE Proxy Card, Cede & Co. Meeting Request and Verification Letter to Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”), which is assisting us in this solicitation of requests to call the Special Meeting.

To effect the execution of the Cede & Co. Meeting Request and Verification Letter, Starboard V&O Fund asks the Company’s shareholders to arrange for their DTC participant(s) to instruct DTC to cause Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, to sign and return the Cede & Co. Meeting Request to the shareholder’s DTC participant(s), and for such DTC participant(s) to sign the Verification Letter with respect to such shareholder’s shares of Common Stock.

Upon receiving the executed Cede & Co. Meeting Request from Cede & Co., the DTC participant(s) should return the executed Cede & Co. Meeting Request and their executed Verification Letter to the shareholder, who should send the Cede & Co. Meeting Request and Verification Letter, along with the executed Special Meeting Request Form and WHITE Proxy Card, to Okapi, who will gather such documents and provide them to Starboard V&O Fund for submission to the Company.

The Special Meeting Request Form and the Cede & Co. Meeting Request request that the Special Meeting be held on a specified date, which, in accordance with the CGCL and the Bylaws, will be no less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of Special Meeting Request Forms from shareholders representing the Special Meeting Percentage.

BACKGROUND AND PAST CONTACTS

The following is a chronology of events leading up to the Solicitation Statement:

On April 5, 2016, Depomed filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Annual Meeting, which included the Reincorporation Proposal.

On April 7, 2016, Starboard filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC disclosing combined beneficial and economic ownership interest in approximately 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the Schedule 13D, Starboard stated that it was extremely troubled by the fact that management and the Board of Depomed were seeking to further entrench themselves and further suppress shareholder rights under the guise of the Reincorporation Proposal. Starboard also questioned why Depomed failed to disclose important features of the Reincorporation Proposal that would severely limit certain shareholder rights in the section of the Preliminary Proxy detailing the specifics of the Reincorporation Proposal and instead included these provisions in appendices at the end of the Preliminary Proxy.

On April 8, 2016, Starboard delivered a letter to Jim Schoeneck, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, expressing significant concerns regarding what it deems as serious corporate governance deficiencies, questionable capital allocation decisions, and egregious actions by the Board to stymie strategic interest. In the letter, Starboard also confirmed that it would shortly commence the process to call a Special Meeting to preserve Starboard’s rights to seek the removal and replacement of the current Board.

On April 8, 2016, Starboard submitted to Depomed the documentation required under the Bylaws to request that the Board set a record date for determining the shareholders entitled to call a special meeting, to begin the process for calling the Special Meeting to consider the following proposals: (i) to remove from office the six (6) members of the current Board, as well as any person appointed to the Board without shareholder approval up to and including the date of a special meeting; (ii) to fix the number of members of the Board at six (6); (iii) if the current Board is removed, to submit Peter A. Feld, James P. Fogarty, Mark R. Mitchell, Gavin T. Molinelli, Jeffrey C. Smith and Patrick Sullivan for election to the Board by shareholders to fill the existing vacancies; and (iv) to repeal any amendment or provision of the Bylaws adopted by the Board that changes the Bylaws, and to amend the Bylaws to eliminate the power of the Board to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws from the date of the Special Meeting through 120 days following the date thereof.

On April 12, 2016, Starboard filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the SEC disclosing combined beneficial and economic ownership interest in approximately 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

On April 14, 2016, Depomed issued a press release announcing its decision not to pursue the Reincorporation Proposal.

On April 15, 2016, Starboard issued the following public statement in response to Depomed’s decision to withdraw its Reincorporation Proposal:

“We read with great interest Depomed’s announcement yesterday that it has decided to withdraw its Delaware Reincorporation Proposal that was purposefully designed to entrench the Board. We remain highly concerned by Depomed’s continued apparent willingness to mislead shareholders about its true intentions with regard to the Reincorporation Proposal. To be abundantly clear, the Reincorporation Proposal was an attempt by the Depomed Board to further suppress shareholder rights under the guise of a benign Delaware reincorporation.

After we highlighted Depomed’s true, hidden agenda, with many of the material provisions buried in two appendices, the Board realized that it had no choice but to abandon its Reincorporation Proposal. Yet, in its announcement yesterday, rather than be forthright about its reasons for withdrawing the Proposal, Depomed alluded to removing the Proposal only to avoid 'a costly and distracting proxy contest'. To insinuate that the reason it withdrew the Reincorporation Proposal was to avoid a proxy contest is completely disingenuous.

Based upon the Board's actions over the past year, and reinforced by this recent, entrenchment attempt, we remain convinced that meaningful Board change is required at Depomed. We acquired our position in Depomed because we believe that the Company is substantially undervalued and opportunities exist to create significant value for shareholders. There has been no change to our intention to vigorously continue our pursuit of replacing the existing Board with a slate of experienced, diverse, and independent director candidates that we believe will better serve the Company and better protect the rights and best interests of all shareholders. We look forward to sharing more details with shareholders in the coming weeks regarding our views on the Company and opportunities for value creation.”

On April 25, 2016, Depomed issued a press release to announce that it has established the close of business on April 26, 2016 as the Request Record Date to determine shareholders entitled to request the Special Meeting of Shareholders proposed by Starboard. Depomed also sent a letter to Starboard on April 25, 2016 stating that it has amended its Shareholder Rights Plan to purportedly allow Starboard to immediately submit its request for a proposed Special Meeting without conducting a public solicitation.

On May 26, 2016, Starboard issued a press release and delivered a letter to Depomed shareholders announcing that it intends to recommence the process for calling the Special Meeting for removing and replacing the Board with a modified slate of six highly qualified director nominees.

On May 26, 2016, Starboard withdrew its Initial Record Date Request Notice and Special Meeting proposals and delivered the Record Date Request Notice and Special Meeting proposals to Depomed.

On May 26, 2016, Starboard filed its preliminary solicitation statement with the SEC in connection with its solicitation of written requests from Depomed shareholders to call the Special Meeting (the “Preliminary Solicitation Statement”).

On May 31, 2016, Starboard filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the SEC disclosing its delivery of the Record Date Request Notice to Depomed and its modified slate of six highly qualified director nominees.

On June 6, 2016, Starboard filed Amendment No. 1 to its Preliminary Solicitation Statement.

On June 23, 2016, Depomed issued a press release announcing that it has set August 19, 2016 as the Request Record Date and proposing to hold a special meeting called by its Board on October 28, 2016 that Depomed explained is intended to occur after resolution of the Company’s ongoing NUCYNTA® patent litigation, which is expected no later than September 30, 2016.

On July 26, 2016, Starboard issued a press release and delivered a letter to Depomed shareholders announcing that it has appointed two exceptionally qualified former pharmaceutical executives as advisors, Robert G. Savage and James L. Tyree (the “Advisors”), to assist in its solicitation efforts to call the Special Meeting. Starboard explained in the letter that given the extensive requirements under the Bylaws for calling the Special Meeting, the addition of any new nominees to its slate would effectively require it to submit a new record date request notice to Depomed, thereby restarting the clock under the Bylaws for the Special Meeting. Starboard also stated that if it is successful in removing and replacing the Board at the Special Meeting, Messrs. Savage and Tyree would be invited to join the Board and that the new Board would be willing to increase the size of the Board to nine members (currently there are six members; adding the Advisors would expand the Board to eight members) and add back one incumbent director in order to maintain a degree of continuity amidst the required change that Starboard believes is needed at the Company. In the letter, Starboard also announced that it will proceed with its original solicitation to call the Special Meeting by going through the procedures required under the Bylaws by soliciting the Special Meeting Percentage given the Board’s inconsistent responses to Starboard’s two record date request notices in order to ensure that shareholders have their voices heard and to prevent the Company from any further attempts to manipulate Starboard’s Special Meeting process. Starboard explained in the letter that initially, the Board responded promptly to Starboard’s Initial Record Date Request Notice by setting a record date of April 26, 2016, or less than three weeks later, but then delayed its response to Starboard’s new Record Date Request Notice by setting a record date of August 19, 2016, or close to three months after Starboard’s delivery of the Record Date Request Notice, which is almost the full extent the Board is permitted to delay such an action under the Bylaws and in stark contrast to Jim Schoeneck’s commentary to shareholders on April 25, 2016 that “the selection of an early meeting date is in the best interest of Depomed and its shareholders.” Starboard stated that it sees the Board’s rationale of basing the prolonged meeting date on the NUCYNTA litigation as a classic “bait-and-switch” as there was no mention of delaying the Special Meeting until the outcome of the pending NUCYNTA patent litigation upon Starboard’s first placeholder nomination.

On July 27, 2016, Starboard filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the SEC disclosing its delivery of the July 26th letter to Depomed shareholders and its appointment of the Advisors to assist in its efforts to call the Special Meeting given the Advisors significant industry knowledge and experience.

On August 15, 2016, Starboard filed Amendment No. 2 to its Preliminary Solicitation Statement.

OUR PLANS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING

If we, with the support of other shareholders, are successful in obtaining sufficient shareholder support to request that the Special Meeting be called pursuant to the Bylaws and the Special Meeting is called, we expect to present the following matters for a shareholder vote at the Special Meeting:

Proposal 1: “RESOLVED, that each of the six (6) members of the Board who are expected to be serving as directors as of the date of the Special Meeting, including Peter D. Staple, Karen A. Dawes, Louis J. Lavigne, Jr., Samuel R. Saks, M.D., James A. Schoeneck and David B. Zenoff, D.B.A, as well as any person or persons elected or appointed to the Board without shareholder approval after the date hereof, and up to and including, the date of the Special Meeting, be removed from office as directors of the Company, each such removal to become effective upon the election of each successor by the shareholders of the Company.”

Section 19 of the Bylaws, together with Section 303(a) of the CGCL, provides that all of the directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.

Starboard is seeking to remove Peter D. Staple, Karen A. Dawes, Louis J. Lavigne, Jr., Samuel R. Saks, James A. Schoeneck and David B. Zenoff because, among other things, Starboard believes these Board members have consistently failed to act in the best interests of shareholders.

Proposal 2: “RESOLVED, that, in the event that the Board is fixed at some size other than six (6) members as of the date of the Special Meeting, Section 16 of the Bylaws be amended to fix the size of the Board at six (6) members.”

Section 16 of the Bylaws presently allows a definite number of Board members within the range of five (5) to nine (9) Board members to be fixed by resolution of the Board or for a definite number of Board members without provision of an indefinite range to be fixed by an amendment to the Bylaws duly adopted by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The reason for Proposal 2 is to allow shareholders to fix the size of the Board at six (6) members so that, in the event Proposal 1 is approved in its entirety, shareholders may elect a full Board solely consisting of Starboard’s six (6) Nominees.

The language of the proposed Bylaw amendment:

Section 16 of the Bylaws is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

16. Number. The authorized number of directors of this corporation shall not be less than five (5) nor more than nine (9). The exact number of directors shall be six (6). The indefinite number of directors may be changed or a definite number fixed without provision for an indefinite number by an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by amendment to these bylaws duly adopted by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. An amendment reducing the minimum number of directors to a number less than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting of the shareholders, or the shares not consenting in the case of action by written consent, are equal to more than 16-2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. No amendment may change the maximum number of authorized directors to a number greater than two times the minimum number of directors minus one.

Proposal 3: “RESOLVED, that the following six (6) individuals be and hereby are elected to serve as directors on the Board, contingent on Proposal 1 being passed: John J. Delucca, James P. Fogarty, Peter A. Lankau, Gavin T. Molinelli, Mary K. Pendergast, and Jeffrey C. Smith (each, a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”).”

Section 18 of the Bylaws, together with Section 305(a) of the CGCL, provide that only shareholders may elect directors to fill any vacancies arising from any removal of directors by approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly called meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present (in which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum). Consequently, if Proposal 1 passes, the resulting six (6) vacancies may only be filled by the shareholders. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute the required quorum.

Each Nominee named in this Proposal 3 has consented to be named in any proxy or solicitation statement and proxy cards to be filed with the SEC and distributed to shareholders of Depomed by Starboard and to serve as a director of Depomed, if elected, in accordance with Section 5(d)(i)(2) of the Bylaws. The Nominees have not made any commitment to Starboard, if elected, other than that they will serve as directors, exercise their independent judgment in accordance with their fiduciary duties in all matters before the Board and otherwise discharge their duties as directors of Depomed consistent with all applicable legal requirements. If elected, each Nominee named in this Proposal 3 would serve as a director until a successor has been duly elected and qualified at the Company’s annual meeting in 2017 or an intervening special meeting of Company shareholders at which Company directors are elected and a successor has been duly elected. Starboard will, in accordance with SEC requirements, provide shareholders with a way to vote for inclusion of less than all of the Nominees in the elections contemplated by Proposal 3. In the event that Proposal 1 passes and the directors named or described in Proposal 1 are removed from the Board creating six (6) vacancies, but none of the Nominees are elected pursuant to Proposal 3, then the current Board shall be subject to removal upon their successors otherwise being duly elected and qualified at Depomed’s annual meeting in 2017 or an intervening special meeting.

Proposal 4: “RESOLVED, that any amendment or provision of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board that changes the Bylaws in any way from the version of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board on July 12, 2015 through the date of the Special Meeting be and hereby is repealed, and that Section 42 of the Bylaws entitled “AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS” be and hereby is amended to eliminate the power of the Board to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws from the date of the Special Meeting through 120 days following such Special Meeting.”

Section 42 of the Bylaws, together with Section 211 of the CGCL, provide that approval of each of Proposals 2 and 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.

Proposal 4 is designed to prevent the Board from taking any such further actions to amend the Bylaws to attempt to nullify or delay the actions taken by, or proposed to be taken by, the shareholders pursuant to the other Proposals or to create new obstacles to the consideration of the Proposals at the Special Meeting.

The language of the proposed Bylaw amendment:

Section 42 of the Bylaws is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

42. Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote or by the Board of Directors, except that (i) any such adoption, amendment or repeal by the Board of Directors shall be effective only as of the date 121 days after the date hereof and that during such period the power of the Board of Directors to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws shall hereby be eliminated and (ii) an amendment changing the authorized number of directors may only be adopted as provided in Section 16.

As the Proposals were the only matters of business that Starboard proposed in the Record Date Request Notice be voted upon by shareholders at the Special Meeting, no other matters may be presented by Starboard at the Special Meeting.

We will solicit votes in favor of the Proposals only by means of a proxy statement and proxy card once the record date and meeting date for the Special Meeting have been established. If we are successful in requesting that the Special Meeting be called as a result of shareholders representing the Special Meeting Percentage, together with Starboard’s shares of Common Stock, completing, executing, dating and returning the enclosed Special Meeting Request Form and accompanying WHITE Proxy Card to Okapi, and Starboard delivering the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Card to a Depomed designated officer, then we will include in Starboard’s definitive proxy statement for such Special Meeting more detailed information regarding voting at the Special Meeting. The sole purpose of this solicitation, and the only effect of your return of the WHITE Proxy Card is to request the calling of the Special Meeting and to empower us to deliver the Special Meeting Request Form to a Company designated officer.

Accordingly, we urge you to join with us to request the call of the Special Meeting for the purpose of submitting the Proposals to shareholders for a vote thereon. To help us call the Special Meeting, please follow the instructions for delivering the Special Meeting Request Form and accompanying WHITE Proxy Card described below.

WE URGE YOU TO COMPLETE, EXECUTE, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED SPECIAL MEETING REQUEST FORM AND THE ACCOMPANYING WHITE PROXY CARD TO OKAPI, AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF YOUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HELD THROUGH A DTC PARTICIPANT.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Request Record Date Process. Under the Bylaws, the Board has twenty-eight (28) days to set a Request Record Date from receipt of a valid Record Date Request Notice from a shareholder, which Request Record Date could be as many as sixty (60) days after the close of business on the date the Board sets the Request Record Date. If the Board fails to set a Request Record Date, the Request Record Date is to be twenty-eight (28) days after the Record Date Request Notice was validly submitted to and received by the Secretary of the Company (or, if the twenty-eighth (28th) day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter). Starboard’s Record Date Request Notice, which was delivered to Depomed on May 26, 2016, is attached as Exhibit E to the Solicitation Statement. The Request Record Date has been set by the Board as August 19, 2016. Holders of record of shares of Common Stock as of that date will be entitled to request that the Special Meeting be called.

Special Meeting Request Form and the WHITE Proxy Card. Starboard is asking the shareholders to complete, execute, date and return the enclosed Special Meeting Request Forms and the accompanying WHITE Proxy Cards to Okapi, which is assisting us with this solicitation and, upon receiving the executed Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards, will deliver the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms on behalf of shareholders (once received) representing the Special Meeting Percentage to a Company designated officer to obligate Depomed to call the Special Meeting pursuant to the Bylaws. We are furnishing the Solicitation Statement, the Special Meeting Request Forms and the WHITE Proxy Cards to enable you and Depomed’s other shareholders to support us in requesting the Special Meeting be called and held.

Pursuant to the Bylaws, from the Request Record Date, we have thirty (30) days to solicit such revocable proxies and for the Company to be in receipt of the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards from shareholders representing the Special Meeting Percentage together with Starboard’s shares of Common Stock before a new Request Record Date must be requested from the Board and the process for a shareholder-called special meeting must be restarted.

Special Meeting Percentage. For the Special Meeting to be properly requested in accordance with the Bylaws, the Special Meeting Request Forms and Cede & Co. Meeting Requests in favor of the call of the Special Meeting must be executed by shareholders as of the Request Record Date authorizing Starboard V&O Fund to submit the Special Meeting Request Forms on their behalves, which shareholders, together with Starboard V&O Fund, must hold shares of Common Stock equaling the Special Meeting Percentage.

According to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 3, 2016, as of August 2, 2016, there were 61,366,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Based on such number, and the fact that Starboard Value and its affiliates and Nominees already own in the aggregate 6,031,450 shares of Common Stock, additional properly completed and unrevoked Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards from holders of an aggregate of approximately less than 1% of shares of Common Stock will have to be received by Depomed in accordance with the Bylaws to request Depomed to call the Special Meeting. Starboard anticipates submitting, through Starboard V&O Fund, all of such Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards to a Company designated officer as soon as practicable after Starboard obtains a sufficient number of such Special Meeting Request Forms and WHITE Proxy Cards.

Special Meeting Date. The Special Meeting Request Form requests that the Special Meeting be held on a date and at a time to be specified by Starboard V&O Fund, which, in accordance with the CGCL and the Bylaws, will be no less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after Depomed receives the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms and accompanying WHITE Proxy Cards from shareholders representing the Special Meeting Percentage. After the Special Meeting is called, we intend to solicit proxies from you in support of the Proposals via Depomed sending you a notice of the Special Meeting (or, if the Company fails to do so in the required statutory period described below, we will send such notice or seek judicial relief that would require Depomed to do so) and via our sending you a proxy statement and a proxy card for use therewith. At the Special Meeting, we will ask the shareholders to vote “FOR” the Proposals.

Record Date and Notice for Special Meeting. Pursuant to Section 701(a) of the CGCL, together with Section 7 of the Bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting may be fixed by the Board as no less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Special Meeting. Pursuant to Section 601(c) of the CGCL, upon receipt of the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms and accompanying WHITE Proxy Cards from shares representing the Special Meeting Percentage, a Depomed designated officer must give notice of the Special Meeting to shareholders within twenty (20) days. If Depomed fails to do so, then we may mail such notice or seek judicial relief to require Depomed to do so.

Location of Special Meeting. The Bylaws provide that all meetings of shareholders shall be held either at the principal office of Depomed (which is 7999 Gateway Blvd., Suite 300, Newark, California 94560) or at any other place, within or without California, which is designated by the Board or the President of Depomed.

PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING THE SPECIAL MEETING REQUEST FORMS AND WHITE PROXY CARDS

Pursuant to the Solicitation Statement, Starboard is requesting that the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock request that a Depomed designated officer call the Special Meeting and hold the Special Meeting pursuant to the Special Meeting Request Forms by taking the following actions: (1) complete, execute and date the Special Meeting Request Form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the accompanying WHITE Proxy Card attached hereto as Exhibit D, by which you will empower us to deliver the valid, executed and completed Special Meeting Request Forms, Cede & Co.

Meeting Request and their executed Verification Letter to you and (3) deliver to Okapi at the address set forth on the enclosed envelope your executed Special Meeting Request Form, WHITE Proxy Card, Cede & Co.

Meeting Requests.

The enclosed Special Meeting Request Form reflects our good faith effort to identify all the information required by the Bylaws in connection with shareholders’ written request for a special meeting.

CERTAIN EFFECTS RELATED TO THIS SOLICITATION

2021 Notes

Based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2014 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2014, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Indenture”), regarding certain 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), the Proposals, if passed, are not likely to result in any payments in connection with a “Fundamental Change” (i.e., change of control) (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), which definition includes the consummation of (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (ii) any share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Company pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets; or (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of the Company’s subsidiaries; provided, however, that a transaction described in clause (ii) in which all persons in whose names’ at the time each particular 2021 Note is registered in the Company’s note register of all classes of the Company’s Common Equity (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) immediately prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such transaction in substantially the same proportions as such ownership immediately prior to such transaction shall not be a Fundamental Change. However, any of the transactions listed in clauses (i) through (iii) of the foregoing sentence will not constitute a Fundamental Change if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of Common Stock, excluding cash payments for fractional shares, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of publicly listed common stock and as a result of such transactions the 2021 Notes become convertible into such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional shares. The Proposals, if passed, would not otherwise trigger a Fundamental Change under the 2021 Notes.

Senior Secured Notes

Further based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2015, by and between the Company, the purchasers party thereto from time to time (“Purchasers”), and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company requested that the Purchasers purchase an aggregate principal amount of $575,000,000 of the Company’s senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”), the Proposals are not likely to result in any prepayment obligations and penalty prepayment premiums in connection with a “Major Transaction” under the Note Purchase Agreement. We cannot confirm whether this would be the case as of the date hereof as operative provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement as publicly disclosed have received confidential treatment. As publicly disclosed, a Major Transaction includes a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or any other event following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (i) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (ii) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the Board.

2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Further based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, pursuant to the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, effective as of February 19, 2014, Proposal 1 if passed without election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 or Proposal 1 if passed together with the election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 could each potentially result in a “Change in Control.” A Change in Control means any event so determined by the Board and that also constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company or change in “ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (provided, that the Board may specify a definition of Change in Control in an award agreement that is not inconsistent with this definition of Change in Control), and, accordingly, the Board may so determine that Proposal 1 if passed without election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 or Proposal 1 if passed together with the election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 qualifies. In the event of a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee of the Board can accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions in an award, waive any restriction or other provision of the plan or an award or otherwise amend or modify an award in any manner that is, in either case, (i) not materially adverse to the participant to whom such award was granted, (ii) consented to by such participant or (iii) authorized by section 15(c) of the plan; provided, however, that subject to certain exceptions, no such action shall permit the term of any option or stock appreciation right to be greater than ten (10) years from its grant date.

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

Further based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended on December 20, 2011, Proposal 1 if passed without election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 or Proposal 1 if passed together with the election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 could each potentially result in a “Change in Control” within the meaning of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

Examples of transactions or events that the Board may treat as Changes in Control are: (i) any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires securities holding 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company, or (ii) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of Company directors, the persons who were Company directors immediately before the election cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Accordingly, the Board could potentially provide that the passage of Proposal 1 without election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 or Proposal 1 if passed together with the election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 constitute a Change in Control.

In connection with a Change in Control, notwithstanding any other provision of the plan, the Board may, but need not, take any one or more of the following actions. The Board may, in its sole discretion, provide that the vesting of any or all award shares subject to vesting or a right of repurchase shall accelerate or lapse, as the case may be. If the Board exercises such discretion with respect to options, such options shall become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such time and on such conditions as the Board determines, and if such options are not exercised prior to the consummation of the event, they shall terminate at such time as determined by the Board. The Board need not have adopted the same rules for each award or each awardee. Subject to any greater rights granted to participants as described under the foregoing provisions, any outstanding awards shall be treated as provided in any applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, or sale of assets, as the case may be. In addition, the Board may extend the date for the exercise of awards (but not beyond their original expiration date). The Board need not adopt the same rules for each award or each awardee.

Different rules apply under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan in respect of individuals who are non-employee directors. In the event of a Change in Control while the awardee remains a non-employee director, the shares at the time subject to each outstanding option held by such awardee pursuant to the plan, but not otherwise vested, shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares as fully vested shares and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully vested Shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term in connection with a Change in Control.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Further based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, pursuant to the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended on February 19, 2014, the Proposals are not likely to result in the immediate termination of the “Offering Period” thereunder. Each Offering Period consists of four (4) six (6)-month purchase periods during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under the plan. In the event of, among other things, a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, each purchase right under the plan shall be assumed or an equivalent purchase right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation, unless the successor corporation does not agree to assume the option or to substitute an equivalent purchase right, in which case the Board may determine, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period then in progress by setting a new purchase date.

Management Continuity Agreements

Further based on a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, Proposal 1 if passed without election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 or Proposal 1 if passed together with the election of any Nominee pursuant to Proposal 3 could each potentially trigger change in control payments under the May 2014 form of Management Continuity Agreement entered into with executive officers of the Company.

The Management Continuity Agreement provides, among other things, that in the event an executive officer is subject to an involuntary termination (a termination by the Company without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason,” as those terms are defined in the Management Continuity Agreements) within ninety (90) days before or twenty-four (24) months following a “change in control”, the executive officer is entitled to receive: (i) 100% vesting acceleration of such officer’s unvested Company equity awards; (ii) subject to execution of a release of claims, severance payments for a period of twelve (12) months (if the officer is the chief executive officer) or twenty-four (24) months (if the officer is not the chief executive officer) equal to the base salary which the officer was receiving immediately prior to the change in control (or immediately prior to the termination, if greater); (iii) a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times (if such officer is the chief executive officer) or equal to (if the officer is not the chief executive officer) such officer’s annual bonus target for the Company’s fiscal year in which the termination occurs; and (iv) payment by the Company of the full cost of the health insurance benefits provided to such officers immediately prior to the change in control through the earlier of the end of the severance period or until such officer is no longer eligible for such benefits under applicable law. If the foregoing payments and benefits are subject to the “golden parachute” excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code, they will be reduced if and to the extent doing so would cause the executive to retain a greater amount on an after-tax basis.

Filed Agreements

We have not independently verified if the copies of the agreements discussed above in this section of the Solicitation Statement titled “Certain Effects Related to This Solicitation” (collectively, the “Filed Agreements”) and publicly filed by the Company with the SEC are the same as the executed copies of the Filed Agreements, and the analyses above are based on our review of the Company’s public SEC filings. While we are not aware of any, there may be other agreements that may be triggered by a change in control in connection the Proposals. The discussion of the potential impact of the Proposals is based entirely upon our review of the Filed Agreements and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Newark, California 94560

Attention: Any Designated Officer

Re: Request for Special Meeting of Shareholders of Depomed, Inc. (the “Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective July 12, 2015 (the “Bylaws”), this letter constitutes a Special Meeting Request (as defined in the Bylaws) (such letter, the “Special Meeting Request Form”) of the undersigned holder (the “Requesting Shareholder”) of shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) requesting that a Designated Officer (as defined in the Bylaws) call a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) for the purposes and the matters proposed to be acted on at the Special Meeting as set forth in the solicitation statement (the “Solicitation Statement”) filed by Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd (“Starboard V&O Fund”) and the other Participants (as defined in the Solicitation Statement) in its solicitation (collectively, “Starboard”) with the Securities and Exchange Committee on August [ ], 2016, including the Proposals (as defined in the Solicitation Statement) set forth in full under the section titled “Our Plans for the Special Meeting” of the Solicitation Statement, which Proposals are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein.

The Requesting Shareholder is making this request because the Requesting Shareholder believes adoption of the Proposals will greatly improve the composition of the Board in order to enhance shareholder value. The Requesting Shareholder is hereby signing this Special Meeting Request Form to be submitted to a Designated Officer by registered mail and personal delivery within thirty (30) days after the Request Record Date (as defined in the Solicitation Statement), and requests that the Special Meeting be held on [—] and at [—], which, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the California Corporations Code (“CGCL”) and the Bylaws, is no less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of Special Meeting Request Forms from the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at the Special Meeting.

The information in Attachment A and Appendix 1, as they may be updated, amended or supplemented from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein. In addition, the information in the Solicitation Statement (including its Annexes and Exhibits) and in Special Meeting Request Forms submitted by other Requesting Shareholders, as they may be updated, amended or supplemented from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein, although the Requesting Shareholder (other than Starboard) notes that it did not prepare that information and thus takes no responsibility for its accuracy or completeness.

The Requesting Shareholder hereby represents that (i) such Requesting Shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting as of the Request Record Date (as defined in the Solicitation Statement), (ii) such Requesting Shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting to propose the Proposals, (iii) such Requesting Shareholder and the beneficial owner will not engage in a solicitation with respect to the Proposals to be proposed at the Special Meeting and do not intend to be and are not part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s stock required to approve the Proposals to be proposed (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting (other than Starboard); and (iv) the Requesting Shareholder will notify the Company in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for the Special Meeting to reflect the following information (a) the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Company owned of record by such Requesting Shareholder and any beneficial owner as of the record date for the Special Meeting, (b) the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Company which are beneficially owned1 by such Requesting Shareholder and any beneficial owner or any control person2 (“Control Person”) as of the record date for the Special Meeting, (c) any agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the Special Meeting with respect to the Proposals between or among such Requesting Shareholder, beneficial owner or Control Person and any other person, including without limitation any agreements that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 5 or Item 6 of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable), and (d) any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including without limitation any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) in effect as of the record date of the Special Meeting that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such Requesting Shareholder, beneficial owner or Control Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit from changes in the share price of any class or series of the Company’s stock, or maintain, increase or decrease the voting power of the Requesting Shareholder, beneficial owner or Control Person with respect to securities of the Company.

1 The Bylaws provide that shares of Common Stock shall be treated as “beneficially owned” by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder or has or shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing): (A) the right to acquire such shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both), (B) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others and/or (C) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such shares.

2 The Bylaws define “control person” as each director, executive, managing member or control person of a Requesting Shareholder or beneficial owner if such Requesting Shareholder or beneficial owner is an entity.

Any claim by the Company or its advisors that this Special Meeting Request Form is in any way deficient, and all further correspondence from the Company or its advisors on this matter, should be addressed in a timely fashion to:

Attn:

Matthew M. Gosling

Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

Re:

Shareholder Request to Set a Request Record Date for Determining Shareholders Entitled to Request a Special Meeting of Shareholders of Depomed, Inc. (the “Company”)

Dear Mr. Gosling:

Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd, an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Starboard” or the “Record Holder”), hereby submits this notice (this “Notice”) on the date hereof pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, dated July 12, 2015 (the “Bylaws”). The purpose of this Notice, as more fully set forth herein, is to (i) provide notice to the Company of the Record Holder’s intent to present the proposals set forth in Annex A (the “Proposals”) at a special meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Special Meeting”) and to hereby request, as of the date hereof, that a Request Record Date (as defined in the Bylaws) be set for the purpose of calling the Special Meeting as promptly as possible by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and (ii) nominate the six (6) persons named in Annex B for election to the Board (each a “Nominee” and together, the “Nominees”) as directors in connection with Proposal 3, as set forth in Annex A. The Record Holder understands that the Bylaws grant the Board an ability to delay setting the Request Record Date by as many as eighty-eight (88) days from the date of the Company’s receipt of this Notice. Notwithstanding this ability, Starboard requests that the Board act as promptly as practicable in setting the Request Record Date as it believes that any delay in doing so serves no purpose other than to delay and impair the franchise rights of the Record Holder and the Company’s other shareholders. This Notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Annexes hereto) constitutes a Record Date Request Notice (as defined in the Bylaws). The text of the resolutions proposed for consideration at the Special Meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the Special Meeting are included in Annex A.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Notice is not, nor does the Record Holder purport it to be, an amendment to, or supplement or resubmission of that certain “Shareholder Request to Set a Request Record Date,” dated April 7, 2016, delivered to the Company by Starboard (the “April 7th Notice”). Therefore, none of the timing or other restrictions that are consistent with the Bylaws, related and relevant to the April 7th Notice due to its delivery to the Company by Starboard on April 7, 2016, shall in anyway affect this Notice or any events related hereto. Starboard expects the Company to adhere to a similar timetable for setting a record date for this Notice as it did with the previously submitted April 7th Notice.

All information relating to each Nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is set forth in Annex B. Attached as Annex C are written consents signed by each Nominee evidencing a willingness to being named in any proxy statement filed with the SEC and distributed to shareholders of the Company by the Record Holder as a nominee and to serve as a director of the Company, if elected.

The Record Holder is the owner of record of one-thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), which represent less than one-percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock that would be entitled to call the Special Meeting if the Request Record Date had been set as of the date hereof. The Record Holder represents that the Nominees (i) will each be participants (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) in the Record Holder’s and certain of its affiliates’ solicitation with respect to calling the Special Meeting to consider and vote on the Proposals and the nomination of the Nominees and once such meeting is called, with respect to such Proposals, and the nomination of the Nominees and (ii) are part of a group which intends to deliver a solicitation statement, a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s Common Stock required to call the Special Meeting and subsequently to approve the Proposals and elect the Nominees at the Special Meeting (in person or by proxy).

The Record Holder and its affiliates, including each director, executive, managing member or control person of the Record Holder (each, a “Control Person” and collectively, “Control Persons”) identified in Annex B (such Control Persons, the Record Holder and the Nominees, the “Participants” and each, a “Participant”) may be deemed to Beneficially Own (as defined below) the shares of Common Stock owned by the Record Holder. The share ownership of the Participants, including the Record Holder, are as set forth in Annex B. The share ownership provided in this Notice is as of the date hereof. The share ownership percentage contained herein is based upon 61,366,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of August 2, 2016, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 3, 2016. Shares shall be treated as “Beneficially Owned” by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder or has or shares, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing), (i) the right to acquire such shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both), (ii) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others and/or (iii) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such shares.

The name of the Record Holder as it appears on the Company’s books is “Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd.” The address of the Record Holder as it appears on the Company’s books is 777 Third Avenue, 18th Floor New York, New York 10017. The Record Holder represents that it intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting to present the Proposals.

As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Record Holder, based on publicly available information, including that contained in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2016, which disclosed the voting results of each member of the Board in connection with the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the current Board consists of six (6) directors. If, due to death, disability or otherwise, any Nominee is unable to stand for election at the Special Meeting or for good reason will not serve, the Record Holder reserves the right to nominate one or more alternate nominees, as applicable, in place of such Nominee(s) (each, an “Alternate Nominee”). The Record Holder will give prompt notice to the Company of its intent to nominate any Alternate Nominees at the Special Meeting and will further supplement the Record Date Request Notice to disclose any additional information regarding such Alternate Nominee as required by the Bylaws. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Nominee” as used in this Notice shall be deemed to include any Alternate Nominees, if applicable.

The Record Holder reserves the right to withdraw the nomination of one (1) or more Nominees, Alternate Nominees or any of the Proposals at any time and will give prompt notice to the Company of any such withdrawal.

Each of the Nominees’ ownership of securities of the Company and principal business address are as set forth elsewhere in this Notice.

The Record Holder has signed letter agreements, pursuant to which it and its affiliates have agreed to indemnify each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, against claims arising from the solicitation of proxies from the Company shareholders in connection with the Special Meeting and any related transactions.

Starboard has signed compensation letter agreements with each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, pursuant to which Starboard has agreed to pay each of them (i) $15,000 in cash upon the Record Holder submitting this Notice (other than Mr. Fogarty who previously received the $15,000 in cash upon submission of the April 7th Notice) and (ii) $15,000 in cash upon the filing by Starboard of a definitive proxy statement with the SEC relating to a solicitation of proxies in favor of each of their election as a director of the Company at the Special Meeting. Pursuant to the compensation letter agreements, each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, has agreed to use the after-tax proceeds from such compensation to acquire securities of the Company (the “Nominee Shares”) at such time that each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, shall determine, but in any event no later than fourteen (14) days after receipt of such compensation, subject to certain limitations. If elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Board, each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Nominee Shares within two (2) years of his or her election or appointment as a director; provided, however, in the event that the Company enters into a business combination with a third party, each of Messrs. Fogarty, Delucca, and Lankau, as well as Ms. Pendergast, may sell, transfer or exchange the Nominee Shares in accordance with the terms of such business combination.

On May 26, 2016, each of the Participants entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement in which, among other things, (a) they agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Company, (b) they agreed to form a group for the purpose of (i) submitting this Notice, (ii) soliciting written requests from the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to call the Special Meeting, and (iii) soliciting proxies at any such Special Meeting for the purpose of approving the Proposals set forth herein, and (c) Starboard and certain of its affiliates agreed to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation, including approved expenses incurred by any of the parties in connection with the solicitation, subject to certain limitations. Reference is made to the Schedule 13D filed by certain of the Participants on April 7, 2016, as amended and as it may be amended from time to time, as filed and to be filed with the SEC. The information contained therein is deemed incorporated by reference herein and, accordingly, all information contained in this Notice is deemed to be supplemented thereby. The inclusion of information in this Notice shall not be deemed to constitute an admission that any such information is required by the Bylaws.

Annex B sets forth the name, address and ownership of securities of the Company of each of the Participants. The Record Holder hereby states with respect to the Record Holder and each Control Person and/or Nominee, as applicable, that, to the knowledge of the Record Holder, other than as set forth in this Notice, including the Annexes hereto, there are no agreements, arrangements or understandings (i) with respect to the Proposals between or among the Record Holder or any Control Person and any other person, including without limitation any agreements that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 5 or Item 6 of Exchange Act Schedule 13D (regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable) or (ii) (including without limitation any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that have been entered into as of the date hereof by, or on behalf of, the Record Holder or any Control Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit from changes in the share price of any class or series of the Company’s stock, or maintain, increase or decrease the voting power of the Record Holder or any Control Person with respect to the securities of the Company. The Record Holder represents that it will notify the Company in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for the Special Meeting of (A) the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Company (x) owned of record by the Record Holder and (y) beneficially owned by the Record Holder and any Control Person, each of (x) and (y) as of the record date for the Special Meeting, and (B) any agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the Special Meeting that meets the description of clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph.

It is anticipated that certain regular employees of the Record Holder, or certain of the Record Holder’s affiliates, will participate in the solicitation of proxies in support of the Proposals. Such employees will receive no additional consideration if they assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that proxies will be solicited by mail, courier services, Internet, email, telephone, telegraph, facsimile, advertisements or in person. The Record Holder hereby represents that it and certain of its affiliates (i) will engage in a solicitation with respect to calling the Special Meeting to consider and vote on the Proposals and, once such meeting is called, with respect to such Proposals, and that the Participants are participants (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) in each such solicitation and (ii) are part of a group which intends to deliver a solicitation statement, a proxy statement and/or form of proxy, as applicable, to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s Common Stock required to call the Special Meeting and subsequently to approve the Proposals at the Special Meeting (in person or by proxy). The Record Holder also represents that it intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting to make the Proposals set forth herein.

Other than as described herein, none of the Participants has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the calling of the Special Meeting or adoption of the Proposals at the Special Meeting. All transactions effected by the Participants in Common Stock and other securities of the Company within the past two (2) years from the date hereof are disclosed in Annex D, including the dates on which such securities were purchased or sold and the amount purchased or sold on each such date. Except as disclosed in this Notice and the Annexes hereto, no Participant has any material interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the matters to be brought before the Special Meeting pursuant to this Notice.

The Record Holder hereby states that, to the knowledge of the Record Holder, other than as described in this Notice, including the Annexes hereto:

each Participant is not, nor was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies;

ii.

(a) each Participant has no position or office with the Company, and has no agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other person pursuant to which he or she may serve as a nominee; (b) neither such Participant nor any of its, his or her “associates” (which term, for purposes of this Notice, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Rule 14a-1 of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to (1) any future employment by the Company or its affiliates or (2) any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates will or may be a party; (c) there were no transactions since January 1, 2015, nor are there any currently proposed, involving such Participant or any of his or her associates in which the Company was or is to be a participant and in which such Participant, any of its, his or her associates, or any of their respective immediate family members or any persons sharing their respective households, have or will have a direct or indirect material interest that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S-K”); and (d) there are no material proceedings to which any Participant or any of his or her associates is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

iii.

(a) each Participant and each of its, his or her associates is not a record owner or direct or indirect beneficial owner of any securities of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company; and (b) each Participant has not purchased or sold any securities of the Company in the last two (2) years;

iv.

neither any Participant nor any of its, his or her associates has received any fees earned or paid in cash, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive plan compensation, changes in pension value or nonqualified deferred compensation earnings or any other compensation from the Company during the Company’s last completed fiscal year, or is subject to any other compensation arrangement described in Item 402 of Regulation S-K; and

each Participant has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) in the past ten (10) years.

The Annexes (including any Exhibits thereto) are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Notice.

ANNEX A

THE RESOLUTIONS

Proposal 1:

RESOLVED, that each of the six (6) members of the Board who are expected to be serving as directors as of the date of the Special Meeting, including Peter D. Staple, Karen A. Dawes, Louis J. Lavigne, Jr., Samuel R. Saks, M.D., James A. Schoeneck and David B. Zenoff, D.B.A, as well as any person or persons elected or appointed to the Board without shareholder approval after the date hereof, and up to and including, the date of the Special Meeting, be removed from office as directors of the Company, each such removal to become effective upon the election of each successor by the shareholders of the Company.

Description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business:

Section 19 of the Bylaws, together with Section 303(a) of the General Corporation Law of the California Corporations Code (the “CGCL”), provides that all of the directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote. Starboard is seeking to remove Peter D. Staple, Karen A. Dawes, Louis J. Lavigne, Jr., Samuel R. Saks, M.D., James A. Schoeneck and David B. Zenoff, D.B.A because, among other things, Starboard believes that they have failed to act in the best interests of shareholders.

Proposal 2:

RESOLVED, that, in the event that the Board is fixed at some size other than six (6) members as of the date of the Special Meeting, Section 16 of the Bylaws be amended to fix the size of the Board at six (6) members.

Description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business:

The language of the proposed Bylaw amendment:

Section 16 of the Bylaws is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Proposal 3:

RESOLVED, that the following six (6) individuals be and hereby are elected to serve as directors on the Board, contingent on Proposal 1 being passed: John J. Delucca, James P. Fogarty, Peter A. Lankau, Gavin T. Molinelli, Mary K. Pendergast, and Jeffrey C. Smith (each, a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”).

Description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business:

Section 18 of the Bylaws, together with Section 305(a) of the General Corporation Law of the California Corporations Code (the “CGCL”), provide that only shareholders may elect directors to fill any vacancies arising from any removal of directors by approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly called meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present (in which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum). Consequently, if Proposal 1 passes, the resulting six (6) vacancies may only be filled by the shareholders. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute the required quorum.

Each Nominee named in this Proposal 3 has consented to be named in any proxy or solicitation statement and proxy cards to be filed with the SEC and distributed to shareholders of the Company by Starboard and to serve as a director of the Company, if elected, in accordance with Section 5(d)(i)(2) of the Bylaws. The Nominees have not made any commitment to Starboard, if elected, other than that they will serve as directors, exercise their independent judgment in accordance with their fiduciary duties in all matters before the Board and otherwise discharge their duties as directors of the Company consistent with all applicable legal requirements. If elected, each Nominee named in this Proposal 3 would serve as a director until a successor has been duly elected and qualified at the Company’s annual meeting in 2017 or an intervening special meeting of Company shareholders at which Company directors are elected and a successor has been duly elected. Starboard will, in accordance with SEC requirements, provide shareholders with a way to vote for inclusion of less than all of the Nominees in the elections contemplated by Proposal 3. In the event that Proposal 1 passes, and the directors named or described in Proposal 1 are removed from the Board creating six (6) vacancies, but none of the Nominees are elected pursuant to Proposal 3, then the current Board shall be subject to removal upon their successors otherwise being duly elected and qualified at the Company’s annual meeting in 2017 or an intervening special meeting.

Proposal 4:

RESOLVED, that any amendment or provision of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board that changes the Bylaws in any way from the version of the Bylaws adopted and approved by the Board on July 12, 2015 through the date of the Special Meeting be and hereby is repealed, and that Section 42 of the Bylaws entitled “AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS” be and hereby is amended to eliminate the power of the Board to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws from the date of the Special Meeting through 120 days following such Special Meeting.

Description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business:

The language of the proposed Bylaw amendment:

Section 42 of the Bylaws is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
