Date:5/27/2009

SAN DIEGO, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMLN) today announced that, based on a preliminary vote count provided by its proxy solicitor, shareholders voted to elect at least 10 of the Company's nominees, including its two new independent nominees, Paul N. Clark and Paulo F. Costa, to Amylin's Board of Directors at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held today. The Company believes that no more than two of the five dissident nominees (one independent nominee from Eastbourne Capital Management, L.L.C. and one nominee from Carl Icahn) have been elected to Amylin's Board. Additionally, Mr. Icahn's proposal to reincorporate the Company from Delaware to North Dakota has been defeated.

Today's outcome affirms that shareholders have confidence in the Company's plan to build value in 2009 and beyond, having apparently elected only two of the five dissident nominees.
