INVESTOR ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Investigation of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. and Its Board of Directors In Connection With the Sale of the Company to Cosmo Technologies Limited --

NEW YORK, July 10, 2014

Under the terms of the transaction, Salix shareholders will receive one share of the post-merger entity for each share of Salix they own. Salix shareholders will own 80 percent of the newly combined company. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Salix breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Cosmo Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. is underpaying for Salix shares. Cosmo will be able to designate one director to the Board of Salix Pharmaceuticals, plc, and the post-merger entity will be subject to certain standstill provisions for at least 10 years.
