Specifically, in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2012, the Board of Directors recommends that Mannkind’s shareholders vote to approve an amendment to MannKind Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 350,000,000 shares to 550,000,000 shares.
