ENDO PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDINGS INC. ANNOUNCES

PRICING OF PRIVATE OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES

CHADDS FORD, Pa., June 3, 2011 — Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ENDP) announced today that it priced $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior unsecured notes due 2019 at an issue price of par and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7 ¼% senior unsecured notes due 2022 at an issue price of par (collectively, the “notes”) in connection with its previously announced private offering. The notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the company and will be guaranteed by certain of Endo’s subsidiaries. Subject to customary closing conditions, this offering is expected to close on June 8, 2011. On the closing date, Endo will deposit the proceeds of the notes and certain other amounts into an escrow account until the closing of the pending acquisition of American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc. (“AMS”) by Endo and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The acquisition of AMS is expected to close on June 17, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The net proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under Endo’s new credit facility, are intended to finance Endo’s acquisition of AMS, refinance Endo’s existing credit facility and existing AMS indebtedness, as well as pay related fees and expenses. In the event the agreement and plan of merger with AMS is terminated or the acquisition of AMS is


not completed on or before October 10, 2011, the notes will be redeemed at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 100 percent of the issue price of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the notes to, but not including, the special redemption date.

The notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any applicable state securities laws, and will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the notes and the related subsidiary guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release will not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any notes or any other securities of Endo.
