This filing relates solely to preliminary communications made before the commencement of a planned tender offer by Axcan Pharma Holding B.V. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Axcan Holdings Inc. (“Axcan”), for all of the outstanding common stock of Eurand N.V. (“Eurand”), to be commenced pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated November 30, 2010, by and among Axcan, the Purchaser and Eurand. 

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The tender offer for the outstanding shares of Eurand ordinary shares described in this press release has not yet commenced. At the time the expected tender offer is commenced, Axcan or a wholly owned subsidiary of Axcan will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and Eurand will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the tender offer. Investors and Eurand shareholders are strongly advised to carefully read the tender offer statement (including the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the related solicitation/recommendation statement before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer because they will contain important information. When available, the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and certain other offer documents, as well as the solicitation/recommendation statement, will be made available to all shareholders of Eurand at no expense to them from Axcan by directing a request to Axcan at iadjahi@axcan.com or (450) 536-7696 or from Eurand by directing a request to Eurand at bill.newbould@eurand.com or (267) 759-9335. These documents will also be available at no charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
