Clinton Group Distributes Presentation to XenoPort Stockholders

NEW YORK, May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Clinton Group, Inc. ("Clinton Group") announced today that it has distributed a presentation regarding its efforts to change the board of directors and governance of XenoPort, Inc. (Nasdaq: XNPT). Stockholders of XenoPort will vote on the Clinton Group's proposed changes at the XenoPort annual meeting, which is scheduled for June 11, 2014.

The Clinton Group presentation on XenoPort and the proxy fight is available at https://okapivote.com/clintonxnpt/.

"XenoPort's capital allocation and performance continues, in our view, to destroy stockholder value," said Gregory P. Taxin, President of Clinton Group. "After this last earnings report it should be plain to everyone that spending $7 million to $9 million per quarter to promote and commercialize Horizant is not a good use of stockholder capital. For all the spending and effort, the Company generated just $220,000 of incremental revenue from Horizant sales in the United States during the Quarter."

Clinton Group urges its fellow stockholders to review the definitive proxy materials and the presentation on XenoPort, both of which are available at https://okapivote.com/clintonxnpt/ and to vote for change at the annual meeting.

Stockholders with questions should contact Okapi Partners LLC at (212) 297-0720 or Toll-Free (855) 305-0857 or by email to [email protected].
