* Determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock, no par value (Common Stock) of DepoMed, Inc. (DepoMed) on March 6, 2008 (as reported in the Form 10-K of DepoMed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and assuming the cashless exercise of a warrant to acquire an additional 160,476 shares of Common Stock). The information set forth in line items 7, 9, 11 and 13 includes 2,465,878 shares of Common Stock acquired by Biovail Laboratories International SRL (Biovail Laboratories) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2002, 1,626,154 shares of Common Stock acquired by Biovail Laboratories pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 21, 2003, 150,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by Biovail Laboratories on May 2, 2006 pursuant to the partial exercise of the Warrant (as such term is defined in Amendment No. 1) and 160,476 shares of Common Stock acquired by Biovail Laboratories on April 11, 2008 pursuant to the cashless exercise of the remainder of the Warrant. Biovail Laboratories is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail Corporation.
This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment No. 2) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25, 2002, as amended on May 2, 2003 (the Schedule 13D), by Biovail Laboratories with respect to Common Stock of DepoMed. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all items in the Schedule 13D not amended hereby remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings heretofore ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
As described in Item 3 to Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13D, Biovail Laboratories and certain other parties have severally, but not jointly, covenanted with DepoMed to vote all shares of voting stock of DepoMed owned or controlled by each such party in favor of two persons to be nominated by certain Purchasers to serve as members of the board of directors of DepoMed, provided certain conditions are met (the Voting Commitments). As of the date hereof, sufficient information is not publicly available in order to determine the number of shares of Common Stock of DepoMed beneficially owned collectively by Biovail Laboratories and all such other parties which are subject to a Voting Commitment. As a result of the Voting Commitments, Biovail Laboratories and the other parties subject to Voting Commitments may be deemed to constitute a group for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Biovail Laboratories expressly disclaims that it is a member of a group with respect to such securities. The filing of this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Biovail Laboratories and Biovail Corporation are, for purposes of Sections 13(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owners of any securities of DepoMed other than the 4,402,508 shares identified above and Biovail Laboratories and/or Biovail Corporation expressly disclaim any beneficial ownership of any securities of DepoMed other than the 4,402,508 shares identified above.
