Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 9, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to and restatement of the Company’s by-laws (the “By-laws” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated By-laws”). The Amended and Restated By-laws modify the By-laws to change the vote standard for the election of directors from a plurality to a majority of votes cast, provided a quorum is present. The Amended and Restated By-laws define “majority of votes cast” to mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes cast against that director.

The Amended and Restated By-laws further provide that, for elections in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the vote standard will continue to be a plurality of votes cast. The Amended and Restated By-laws shall be effective immediately.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated By-laws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
