AMYLIN STATEMENT FROM 8-K

In response to media inquiries regarding Mr. Icahn's April 15, 2009 letter, the Company stated:
 
Amylin has a long-standing practice of maintaining an open dialogue with our shareholders. We have engaged in discussions with both Mr. Icahn and Eastbourne Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Eastbourne"), and welcome the opportunity to meet with them again, either separately or together. Eastbourne had previously indicated that it would only be willing to meet with Amylin if the Company agreed to substantial preconditions involving the composition of the Board. While we remain open to constructive discussions, we would prefer to do so without preconditions. We look forward to continuing our dialogue with all of our shareholders.
