Caligan Partners LP (“Caligan”), one of the largest shareholders of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG” or the “Company”), announced today that it has filed a preliminary consent statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for shareholders to act by written consent to effect the replacement of four directors of AMAG and to, among other things, amend the Company's bylaws to help prevent against entrenchment by incumbent directors.

Caligan’s nominees for change include:

  • Paul Fonteyne, former CEO of Boehringer Ingelheim USA
  • Lisa Gersh, former CEO of Alexander Wang, Goop, and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
  • David Johnson, Managing Partner of Caligan Partners LP
  • Kenneth Shea, Senior Advisor, Guggenheim Securities, LLC

Additional information on each of the nominees is available at www.saveamag.com. Caligan has released presentation materials highlighting the operational, strategic, and capital allocation missteps that have resulted in over $1.3 billion of value destruction overseen by AMAG’s incumbent board and management. The materials note that while Caligan believes AMAG has unique, durable assets that could be worth at least $30 per share, AMAG’s current leadership will be unable to achieve that outcome for shareholders. The presentation can be accessed here.

David Johnson, Managing Partner of Caligan, issued the following statement: “We believe urgent change is needed at AMAG to reverse the sharp share price decline caused by the Company’s misguided strategic priorities. Caligan’s highly qualified nominees will conduct a comprehensive review of AMAG’s product portfolio, research and development priorities, and SG&A spending.”

Once Caligan files a definitive consent statement, Caligan will begin soliciting the consents of stockholders.

Caligan strongly recommends that if AMAG stockholders have loaned, pledged or hypothecated any of their Common Stock, they consult with their bank or broker in order to have these shares returned to their accounts before the forthcoming record date. Doing so will allow AMAG stockholders to express consent on all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of Caligan’s nominees and proposals.
