Executive Directors Pension Arrangements
 
Pensions for executive directors are calculated on basic salary only (no incentive or benefit elements are included).
 
From July 2001 to December 2004, Mr. Cooke participated in a defined benefit pension plan, which is designed to provide eligible employees based in Ireland two-thirds of their basic salary at retirement at age 60 for full service. The total accumulated accrued annual benefit for Mr. Cooke at 31 December 2008 was €14,666 (2007: €13,393). Mr. Cooke now participates in a separate self-administered pension fund to which we contribute.
 
Mr. Martin participates in a defined contribution plan (401(k) plan) for U.S.-based employees. Non-executive directors do not receive pensions.
 
For additional information on pension benefits for our employees, refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) Since the date of disclosure, the interest of any person listed above in our Ordinary Shares may have increased or decreased. No requirement to notify us of any change would have arisen unless the holding moved up or down through a whole number percentage level.
 
(2) Based on 475.7 million Ordinary Shares outstanding on February 23, 2009 and 5.4 million Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of currently exercisable options held by directors and officers as a group as of February 23, 2009.
 
(3) Includes 5.4 million Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable options held by directors and officers as a group as of February 23, 2009.
 
Except for these interests, we have not been notified at February 23, 2009 of any interest of 3% or more of our issued share capital. Neither Fidelity Management and Research Company, T. Rowe Price, Wellington Management nor Westfield Capital Management Co. LLC has voting rights different from other shareholders.
 
We, to our knowledge, are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by another entity or by any government. We do not know of any arrangements, the operation of which might result in a change of control of us.
 
A total of 475,746,237 Ordinary Shares of Elan were issued and outstanding at February 23, 2009, of which 3,663 Ordinary Shares were held by holders of record in the United States, excluding shares held in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs). 391,809,352 Ordinary Shares were represented by our ADSs, evidenced by ADRs, issued by The Bank of New York, as depositary, pursuant to a deposit agreement. At February 23, 2009, the number of holders of record of Ordinary Shares was 8,536, which includes 11 holders of record in the United States, and the number of registered holders of ADRs was 3,495. Because certain of these Ordinary Shares and ADRs were held by brokers or other nominees, the number of holders of record or registered holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders or of the residence of beneficial holders.
 
B.   Related Party Transactions
