Glass Lewis Advises Taro Shareholders to Hold Taro's Board Accountable for Its Failures
Date:12/22/2009

MUMBAI, India, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Reuters: SUN.BO, Bloomberg: SUNP IN, NSE: SUNPHARMA, BSE: 524715) today announced that Glass, Lewis & Co. LLC, a leading independent proxy advisory firm, recommended that shareholders of Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Referring to the eight incumbent directors up for re-election, Glass Lewis advised that Taro's "shareholders should hold them accountable" for their "serious disservice to shareholders" by voting against them at the Annual Meeting, concluding that "the presence of new directors on the board might provide fresh perspective and a much needed transparency in the operation of the Company."

Glass Lewis identified additional serious corporate governance and disclosure problems by the Taro Board, including lack of disclosure regarding members of board committees and the number of times such committees met. Glass Lewis was "especially concerned about the lack of disclosure regarding the audit committee," noting that without such disclosures, it is not possible to ascertain such fundamental issues as the existence of proper oversight of the company's accounting, financial reporting and internal and external audits.

As reasons for its recommendations against the board's proposals for indemnification, Glass Lewis reiterated the board's lack of transparency and
