Attached is the Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix” or the “Company”) to be held on July 13, 2016 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), which contains a proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders to approve a one-time stock option exchange program for employees and consultants other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and directors (the “Option Exchange Program”). The Definitive Proxy Statement attached as an exhibit to this Schedule TO does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The proposed Option Exchange Program will only be commenced, if at all, if the Company’s stockholders approve the proposed Option Exchange Program.
The Option Exchange Program has not yet commenced. Zogenix will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) upon the commencement of the Option Exchange Program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the Option Exchange Program should read the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other related materials when those materials become available, because they will contain important information about the Option Exchange Program.
In connection with the proposal to be voted on by Zogenix’s stockholders with respect to the Option Exchange Program, Zogenix has filed the Definitive Proxy Statement with the Commission and intends to file other relevant materials with the Commission. Zogenix stockholders are urged to read such materials as and when they become available and before making any voting decision regarding the Option Exchange Program, because they will contain important information about the proposal to be voted on by stockholders with respect to the Option Exchange Program.
Zogenix stockholders and option holders will be able to obtain the written materials described above and other documents filed by Zogenix with the Commission free of charge from the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, stockholders and option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by Zogenix with the Commission by directing a written request to: Zogenix, Inc., 5858 Horton Street, #455, Emeryville, CA 94608, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
