Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating & Governance Com-
mittee as well as a Transactions Committee. The following table shows the directors who are currently members or Chair-
man of each of these committees.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of
Directors. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various
auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm,
the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the accounting practices of the Company and the Compa-
ny’s internal controls and legal compliance functions. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted
by the Board of Directors, which is available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors-Corporate
Governance-Audit Committee.” The charter describes the nature and scope of responsibilities of the Audit Committee.
Management of the Company has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial reporting process, principles and
internal controls as well as preparation of its financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public account-
ing firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements and expressing an opin-
ion as to the conformity of such financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Messrs. Kimmel, Delucca, Montague and Spengler currently serve as members of the Audit Committee and subject to their
election at the 2012 Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors currently expects to reappoint Messrs. Kimmel, Delucca, Mon-
tague and Spengler as members of the Audit Committee, effective May 23, 2012. Between January 1, 2011 and December

internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm. Subject to his election at the 2012 Annual Meet-
ing, the Board currently expects to reappoint Mr. Delucca as Chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined
that Mr. Delucca is a “financial expert”, as defined by the SEC regulations, and he has the related financial management

Montague and Spengler are “independent” and financially literate in accordance with the criteria established by the SEC
and the NASDAQ.

tive officers of the Company and provides broad guidance regarding the salaries and incentive compensation of the other
