Item 8. Additional Information to be Furnished.
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting as the second paragraph a new subsection entitled Certain Litigation and the disclosure set forth below:
On June 10, 2016, two separate, putative class action lawsuits challenging the Merger were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. These lawsuits, captioned Gilmore v. Vincent J. Angotti, et al. (Case No. CIV 539069) and Bushansky v. Xenoport, Inc., et al. (Case No. CIV 539071), were filed against the Company, individual members of the Board, Acquisition Sub and Parent. The lawsuits generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty owed to the plaintiff and to the public stockholders of the Company, including by allegedly failing to take steps to maximize the value of the Company to its public stockholders, agreeing to deal protection provisions that allegedly deter third party offers, and by allegedly failing to make adequate disclosures regarding the Merger, including disclosures concerning the Companys financial projections, the events that led up to the signing of the Merger Agreement, the Boards selection of a financial advisor, and certain information supporting the fairness opinion received by the Board. The Bushansky lawsuit further alleges that Parent, Acquisition Sub, and the Company aided and abetted the directors alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The lawsuits seek, among other things, to enjoin or rescind the Merger, as applicable, and request attorneys fees and damages in an unspecified amount. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend these claims.
