SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Investors of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. with Losses of $250,000 or More Are Encouraged to Contact Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP

Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class (the “Class”) comprising purchasers of the securities of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. (“Salix” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SLXP) between November 7, 2013 and November 6, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Investors who have losses of $250,000 or more are encouraged to contact the firm for more information.

Please contact Casey Sadler at (310) 201-9150, or at shareholders@glancylaw.com to discuss this matter. If you inquire by email please include your mailing address, telephone number and number of shares purchased.

Salix acquires, develops and commercializes prescription drugs and medical devices in the United States to treat various gastrointestinal diseases. The Complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s operations and financial performance and prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company misclassified wholesale inventory of its drugs; (2) the Company was unable to accurately forecast quarterly revenues without distribution; (3) the Company’s internal and financial controls were inadequate; and (4), as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On November 6, 2014, Salix disclosed that the Company’s Audit Committee would be reviewing the Company’s characterization of wholesale inventory, that the Company intends to reduce inventory to three-months’ level by the end of 2016, and that a lack of distribution services arrangements with its wholesalers made it difficult to forecast quarterly revenue. In addition, Salix announced that the Company’s chief financial officer had resigned, and the Company lowered its revenue guidance for 2014 after reporting a third quarter earnings miss. As a result of this news, shares of Salix declined more than 38%, or $53.05 per share, during after-hours trading on November 6, 2014, to $85.50 per share, on unusually heavy volume.

If you are a member of the Class described above, you may move the Court no later than January 6, 2015, to serve as lead plaintiff, if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you suffered losses of $250,000 or more and wish to learn more about this action, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, contact Casey Sadler, Esquire, of Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California 90067, by toll-free telephone at (888) 773-9224 or by telephone at (310) 201-9150, by e-mail to shareholders@glancylaw.com, or visit our website at http://www.glancylaw.com.
