On May 14, 2024, Alkermes plc (the “Company”) sent an email to employees in connection with the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders. A copy of the communication can be found below.

 

 

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Each year around this time, Alkermes holds its annual general meeting of shareholders (the Annual Meeting). In connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting, we published our Proxy Statement, a copy of which may be found by clicking here.

 

The Proxy Statement contains a series of proposals for our shareholders to consider and on which we ask that our shareholders vote. It also contains our Board’s recommendation as to how to vote on each proposal.

 

I am writing to encourage you to exercise your rights as a shareholder of Alkermes and vote your Alkermes shares before our 2024 Annual Meeting, which is being held on May 31, 2024. All employees who owned shares of Alkermes on March 18, 2024 (known as the ‘Record Date’ for the Annual Meeting) are entitled to vote.

 

Your vote is very important to the company, and we encourage you to vote as soon as possible. To be counted, your vote must be received by May 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET (4:59 a.m. IST).

 

Thank you for your support.
