Mylan updates on Lorazepam and Clorazepate antitrust cases

Mylan today announced that it intends to appeal a Jan. 24, 2008 decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Mylan and its co- defendants Cambrex Corporation and Gyma Laboratories in the last of the pending Lorazepam and Clorazepate antitrust cases. The first related suit had been filed in 1998. As previously disclosed, in June 2005, a jury in the district court had rendered a verdict against Mylan and its co-defendants. The parties subsequently filed various post-trial motions, and the January 24 decision resolved several of those motions. The district court ordered Mylan to pay $35,906,922. The court also ordered Cambrex and Gyma to pay $16,709,242 each, some or all of which may be subject to indemnification obligations by Mylan. Plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees remains pending. Mylan intends to immediately appeal the decision and will continue to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.
