Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On March 8, 2006, the Registrant announced that Brian T. Clingen and Michael W. Mitchell have advised the Registrant that they each intend to resign from its board of directors, effective March 15, 2006, to devote more time to their respective current activities. In addition, Michael B. Goldberg and David I. Wahrhaftig, both managing directors of Kelso & Company (a private equity investment firm), also have advised Endo that they also intend to resign from its board of directors effective the same date; these resignations are consistent with Kelso’s practice of not having its partners serve on the boards of directors of public companies unless Kelso’s level of beneficial stock ownership in the company is significant and warrants such participation. Mr. Clingen was chairman of the audit committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Wahrhaftig was a member of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Clingen, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Wahrhaftig were members of the nominating committee of the Board of Directors. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
