    Dear Madam and Sirs:

    We and many of your largest shareholders continue to be disappointed by Depomed's unwillingness to sit down with us, sign a confidentiality agreement, and engage in good faith discussions that would lead to a successful combination of our two companies. The vast majority of shareholders we speak to believe Horizon Pharma and Depomed together would comprise a powerful new enterprise. Your shareholders would benefit significantly from the combination of our two companies in two ways: first, from the initial 60% premium we have offered and, second, from being an owner in the new company which, together, we believe would offer greater upside potential as a leading global biopharmaceutical company. 

    Since we made our initial acquisition proposal of $29.25 a share on May 27th, we have acted in good faith and attempted to engage in consensual negotiations. Depomed's initial private rejection on June 25th of our $29.25 offer was followed by your advisor's suggestion that Depomed would engage with us if we increased our offer by $3.00 a share from $29.25 to $32.25. In an act of good faith and reliance on that guidance, we privately moved our offer to $32.25. Not only did Depomed renege and not engage, on July 12th, you adopted a poison pill and a series of amendments to Depomed's bylaws, the effect of which was to disenfranchise your shareholders and delay by several months your shareholders' ability to call a special meeting and take action on your failure to engage with us. On July 21st, we then publicly communicated our private price increase and even increased our offer from $32.25 to $33.00 a share to once again try to engage in consensual negotiations. Yet again, you publicly rejected our revised proposal of $33.00 that same day.
