Questcor Pharmaceuticals Responds to Questions From Investor Blog
Date:1/16/2012

In the current situation, the Company is concerned about the apparent tactics of StreetSweeper and its background, and believes that responding to its questions and publicly disclosing the content of the questions and answers is in the best interest of the Company's shareholders. The questions asked by StreetSweeper that it provided on January 9th and Questcor's responses to those questions are set forth below.  Many of the questions are vague, imprecise, are based upon erroneous assumptions or incomplete information.  Notwithstanding, the Company provided responses based upon a reasonable interpretation of the questions.  Certain responses are limited because of the manner in which the questions were phrased.  The Company, under no circumstances, adopts, endorses or validates any factual statements or assumptions posed by any question.

Prior to Questcor providing responses to the questions provided by StreetSweeper on January 9th, Ms. Davis asked the Company to discuss its compliance program.  Questcor noted that it would do so later in the call and provided a response to her. That response is provided at the end of this press release.  The questions provided on January 9th and Questcor's responses to the questions are set forth below:
