Exhibit 99.2

Set forth below is an excerpt of an e-mail and accompanying attachment sent on April 28, 2014 by Brent L. Saunders, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forest Laboratories, Inc. to employees of Forest Laboratories, Inc.

Subject: CEO Message to Colleagues

Dear Forest Colleagues,

This morning I am pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement to acquire Furiex Pharmaceuticals for $1.1 billion in cash (and up to $360 million in additional payments if certain conditions are met). The acquisition of this small, North Carolina based drug development company builds on our growing position in gastroenterology (GI) following our $2.9 billion acquisition of Aptalis in January and the launch of our combined GI sales force earlier this month. Through our strategy of building blockbuster line calls we are creating a leading GI company within Forest, making us even more relevant to gastroenterologists and primary care physicians.

Furiex’s leading drug candidate is eluxadoline, a first-in-class, locally-acting mu opioid receptor agonist and a delta opioid receptor antagonist for treating symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d). IBS-d affects approximately 28 million patients in the United States and Europe. We believe eluxadoline will be very complementary to Linzess, our anchor GI product, and additive to our broader GI portfolio including Canasa, Carafate, Zenpep, Pylera and Rectiv. Because we are acquiring the company, we will also have broad geographic rights to eluxadoline in many countries around the world allowing us to expand our product offering in the US, Europe, Canada and potentially other markets. With eluxadoline, we expect to have one of the broadest product offerings for the $38 billion GI disease market.

So why are we so excited about eluxadoline?

In February, Furiex announced top-line results from two pivotal Phase III clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of eluxadoline in the treatment of IBS-d. Both trials met the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency primary endpoints based on simultaneous improvements in stool consistency and abdominal pain. What also makes eluxadoline unique is the fact that it is effective in both female and male patients compared to the currently marketed drug which is only approved for female IBS-d sufferers. Furiex is on track to submit a New Drug Application in the US for eluxadoline by the end of September 2014. And, on top of it all, eluxadoline has a patent life that extends to at least 2025, so we expect it will be an important part of the company for a long time.

Concurrently with our deal to acquire Furiex, we also announced a separate agreement to sell Furiex’s royalties on two products to Royalty Pharma for approximately $415 million upon successful completion of Forest’s acquisition of Furiex. This will allow us to stay very focused on our core businesses and preserve our cash so that we can deploy it to areas which are core to us, such as hospital, respiratory, cardiovascular, CNS, or Cystic Fibrosis.

At the end of the day, we believe that this is a great deal for Forest. It brings an exciting near-term product into our portfolio, it builds on a leading GI position, it expands our offering geographically, and gives us another enduring growth driver which can be a building block for success. One final positive about this deal, because Furiex only has about 30 employees, we do not expect this deal to be disruptive to current Forest colleagues.

I look forward to speaking with you more about the Furiex deal and our quarterly performance tomorrow at our previously planned town hall meeting. I hope you have a great day.

Regards,

Brent
