Your vote is very important to the company, and we encourage you to vote as soon as possible. To be counted, your vote must be received by May 18, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. ET (4:59 a.m. on May 19, 2020, Irish Standard Time).
We have a number of important proposals on the ballot this year. Information about each of these proposals can be found in the Alkermes plc 2020 Proxy Statement, a copy of which you can access by clicking here.
