Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The Company is presenting today at the J.P. Morgan investor conference, which includes an update on certain 2016 financial estimates. The Company estimates that its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 were approximately $500 million and that the total principal amount of its indebtedness was approximately $1,945 million. In addition, the Company estimates that for the 2016 fiscal year, net sales from its primary care medicines (PENNSAID® 2%, DUEXIS® and VIMOVO®) were approximately $600 million in the aggregate.

The estimated financial results for the 2016 fiscal year are preliminary and are subject to completion of financial closing procedures. As a result, these amounts may differ from the amounts that will be reflected in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
