substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, approximately 9.47 million shares of Impax Common Stock at a strike price of $63.35 per share. Impax paid $147 million for the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions. Separately, and
concurrently with entering into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, Impax also entered into warrant transactions (the

anti-dilution adjustments, up to approximately 9.47 million shares of Impax Common Stock at an initial strike price of $81.2770 per share. Impax received approximately $88.3 million for the Warrant Transactions.
