Elan Corporation, plc (NYSE:ELN) announced today that Johnson & Johnson has issued a press release regarding the discontinuation of Phase 3 development of bapineuzumab IV in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s. The press release can be accessed on http://www.janimm.com/news/press or http://www.jnj.com/connect/news/. Additionally, Pfizer Inc. has provided an announcement to the marketplace on the top line results of Phase 3 Study 301. The press release can be accessed on http://www.pfizer.com/news/press_releases/pfizer_press_releases.jsp.

“We are tremendously disappointed for patients and their caregivers who are suffering from Alzheimer’s and our employees who have dedicated many years to advancing this technology with the goal of creating a meaningful therapy to combat this challenging disease,” said Kelly Martin, CEO of Elan Corporation, plc. He commented further that, “from a shareholder perspective, we will continue to focus on revenue growth with the advancement of Tysabri, rigorous cost and timeline alignment and – as we have done consistently over the years - a strengthening of our balance sheet and capital structure to provide a unique growth and value investment thesis to the marketplace while continuously reducing overall financial risk.”

Specific details surrounding the anticipated reduction of Janssen AI’s future funding requirements will be determined after discussions with our equity co-investor, Johnson & Johnson and after the complete data set from Study 301 and 302 has been presented at the 16^th Congress of the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS) on September 11, 2012, the American Neurological Association (ANA) Annual Meeting on October 8, 2012 and the 5^th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) on October 29, 2012. In addition to the data from Study 301 and 302, outcomes from the on-going vaccine and bapineuzumab SQ trials are important and will be instructive for a comprehensive evaluation of the immunotherapeutic approach to Alzheimer’s.

Given the discontinuation of the bapinezumab IV clinical development work in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s patients, we anticipate there to be a significant reduction in spending through the end of next year. In addition, Elan will record a non-cash impairment charge of $117.3 million on our equity method investment in Janssen AI in the third quarter of 2012, representing the full carrying value of Elan’s 49.9% proportionate share of the Janssen AI AIP assets.

In September 2009, as a result of its transaction with Johnson & Johnson, Elan acquired a 49.9% interest in Janssen AI. Janssen AI partners with Pfizer, Inc on all operational aspects of the immunotherapeutic platform including bapineuzumab. Elan owns 25% of the AIP asset on a global basis plus certain royalty streams at various revenue levels should any therapy from AIP be commercialized in the future.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described or projected herein are the following: the potential of Tysabri, which may be severely constrained by increases in the incidence of serious adverse events (including death) associated with Tysabri (in particular, by increases in the incidence rate for cases of PML), or by competition from existing or new therapies (in particular, oral therapies), and the potential for the successful discovery, development and commercialization of additional products; Elan’s ability to maintain sufficient cash, liquid resources, and investments and other assets capable of being monetized to meet its liquidity requirements; the success of our research and development activities, and research and development activities in which we retain an interest, including, in particular, whether the Phase 3 clinical trials for bapineuzumab are successful (Pfizer announced on July 23^rd that the co-primary clinical endpoints were not met in one of the bapineuzumab Phase 3 clinical trials and that participants from that clinical trial who enrolled in a follow-on extension study will no longer receive doses of bapineuzumab; Johnson & Jonson announced on August 6, 2012 that it was discontinuing development of bapineuzumab IV in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease) and the speed with which regulatory authorizations and product launches may be achieved; our dependence on Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer for the success of AIP; we own approximately six percent of Alkermes plc and our shares are subject to legal and contractual transfer restrictions; failure to comply with anti-kickback, bribery and false claims laws in the United States, Europe and elsewhere; difficulties or delays in manufacturing and supply of Tysabri; trade buying patterns; the impact of potential biosimilar competition, whether restrictive covenants in Elan’s debt obligations will adversely affect Elan; the trend towards managed care and health care cost containment, including Medicare and Medicaid; legislation and other developments affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement (including, in particular, the dispute in Italy with respect to Tysabri sales), both domestically and internationally; failure to comply with Elan’s payment obligations under Medicaid and other governmental programs; exposure to product liability (including, in particular, with respect to Tysabri) and other types of lawsuits and legal defense costs and the risks of adverse decisions or settlements related to product liability, patent protection, securities class actions, governmental investigations and other legal proceedings; Elan’s ability to protect its patents and other intellectual property; claims and concerns that may arise regarding the safety or efficacy of Elan’s products or product candidates; interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and the risk of a partial or total collapse of the euro; governmental laws and regulations affecting domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations; general changes in United States and International generally accepted accounting principles; growth in costs and expenses; and the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in Elan’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and in its Reports of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC.

In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake when the people of Japan and corporations in particular were asked to conserve energy due to an insufficient electricity supply, the use of renewable energy sources gained widespread support. Advertising companies that produce out-of-home signage have recently started considering how to display advertisements while being aware of the need to save power. With this situation in mind, the Dentsu Group and Zephyr decided to combine their technical expertise in natural energy that was cultivated in their respective fields to develop signs that generate energy naturally and would therefore be less affected by the energy situation. A considerable reduction in electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions is expected for the various types of outdoor signs supported (pole signs, roof signs, landmark street signs, wall-mounted building signs and projecting signs). The companies are also working on the development of outdoor signs that achieve the best energy mix through the utilization of a grid-connected system in cases where the sign installation environment does not always allow sufficient natural energy to be generated.

The Dentsu Group will plan, design, market and produce the outdoor signs, and will hold the merchandising rights to those signs. Zephyr will design the power-generating system, develop the small wind turbines and solar panels, and provide the power supply system equipment.

“Our solutions for assessment, design, migration and validation are extremely complementary to the offerings of our partners.”

According to a 2011 report from Gartner, the worldwide hosted virtual desktop market will grow substantially through 2014 to reach almost 49 million units (from around 500,000 in 2009). IDC expects approximately 45 million VDI desktops to be deployed by 2014. Liquidware Labs is doing its part to ensure those projects are successful from proof-of-concept to pilot to implementation.

Liquidware Labs’ solutions help IT departments ensure high user acceptance and success for those VDI projects. Liquidware Labs’ desktop transformation methodology and solutions support a phased approach that encompasses Assessment, Design, Migration and Validation, which has earned the company its place as a standard for leading hardware, storage and platform vendors.

The company’s solutions, including Stratusphere FIT for assessments, Strastusphere Designer for design ProfileUnity for user virtualization, FlexApp for user-installed applications and Stratusphere UX for user experience tracking and validation, uniquely fill critical needs of customers deploying desktop virtualization. These solutions’ feature sets and other benefits, including ease of use, cost-savings and the ability to run as a virtual appliance, create a compelling value proposition that is recognized by Liquidware Labs’ partners.

“Our strategic partners have chosen to join forces with us because we were ahead of the curve in developing a complete desktop transformation methodology and corresponding solution suite that ensures a smooth transition into a virtual desktop infrastructure,” said Barry Flanagan, Senior Director of Worldwide Alliances for Liquidware Labs. “Our solutions for assessment, design, migration and validation are extremely complementary to the offerings of our partners.”

In the past year, Liquidware Labs has worked to close OEM and licensing deals with major industry players such as VMware, Citrix, Dell, EMC, Cisco Systems (VXI Partner Ecosystem), CA Technologies and NetApp while expanding its worldwide distributor channel. In 2011, Liquidware Labs signed on Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions and Carahsoft in North America. Other distributor agreements signed worldwide included Altimate in Belgium, Ingram Micro China, Networld Corporation and Nissho Electronics Corporation in Japan, and Daou Tech, Inc. in Korea.

New go-to-markets are being built as well to align with these industry players on product messaging, solutions and partners.

Past-year highlights included Liquidware Labs teaming up with CA Technologies to showcase the Liquidware Labs desktop transformation suite at CA World. Liquidware Labs has been included as the Cisco VXI ecosystem as a partner for management solutions. The Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) accelerates mainstream virtual desktop adoption to next-generation virtual workspace in a fully integrated, open, and validated end-to-end solution. The company’s Stratusphere FIT, Stratusphere UX and ProfileUnity solutions have been tested and are certified products for VXI architectures.

Liquidware Labs also achieved status as a technology alliance partner of the Virtual Computing Environment Company (VCE). Liquidware Labs solutions are an integrated component of the VCE Vblock,™ the world’s first completely integrated, converged infrastructure.

Looking ahead to 2012, Liquidware Labs plans to forge additional strategic relationships while continuing to enhance existing relationships—as a key third-party solutions provider focused on developing new products that continue to bring down barriers to virtual desktop adoption and use.

“Collaboration with industry standard platforms has helped us innovate into the adjacent spaces customers are asking for, such as user-installed applications with our new FlexApp solution as well as rapid image, host and storage design with our upcoming Designer solution,” Flanagan added. “By working together, we are jointly able to bring more users and applications into scope for virtualization projects at lower cost points,”

“Our commitment to the transaction is predicated on the favorable resolution of all these current investigations.”

Robbins Umeda LLP's expanded investigation focuses on whether officials at Diamond Foods breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders, maintained woefully inadequate controls, and wasted corporate assets to the detriment of the company and investors. On December 15, 2011, Diamond Foods disclosed that the company received a "formal order of investigation" from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") following allegations of serious accounting deficiencies at the company. This announcement came just days after officials at Diamond Foods missed the December 12, 2011 deadline to file the company's financial results for the first quarter of the coming fiscal year.

Furthermore, in an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on December 16, 2011, a spokesman for Proctor & Gamble intimated for the first time that the company might be reconsidering its commitment to sell its Pringles business to Diamond Foods saying, "Our commitment to the transaction is predicated on the favorable resolution of all these current investigations."

Since these new facts have emerged, Diamond Foods has become the focus of renewed public and legal scrutiny. Moreover, these events have seriously undermined investor confidence and Diamond Food's business reputation and intrinsic value. After closing as high as $92.47 per share on September 20, 2011, shares of the company's stock closed on at just $27.02 per share on December 16, 2011.

Robbins Umeda LLP notes that a potentially appropriate course of conduct for Diamond Foods shareholders is filing a derivative action to hold officers and directors accountable for damaging the company. Remedies commonly sought in derivative actions include corporate governance reforms designed to prevent future misconduct, removal of officers or directors whose misconduct injured the corporation, and monetary payments in the form of damages and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains.

Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

Dr. Myers commented, “I’m very pleased to be joining forces more closely with Cyclone, a company that I’ve worked with and respected immensely over the last five years. I believe that this transaction will be highly beneficial to the successful completion of our U.S. Army contract, and will help attract new customers and strategic partners to Cyclone’s revolutionary engine technology.”

Christopher Nelson, President of Cyclone, commented, “The acquisition of Advent is an important financial and strategic development for Cyclone. With this purchase we will generate increased revenue from our current contract, and going forward, we will be able to pursue direct contracts with the military. Moreover, bringing on Dr. Myers and his talented team of advisors to help secure additional awards is a big plus. We look forward to working side-by-side with them in the year ahead.”

The Advent acquisition is subject to standard closing conditions, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2012.
