Clarifies DOMA’s Inaccuracies and the Reality of Pacira’ Efforts to Strengthen its Market Position
Urges Stockholders to Vote “FOR” the Election of Pacira’s Highly Qualified Nominees on the BLUE Proxy Card Today
BRISBANE, Calif., May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCRX) (the “Company” or “Pacira”), the industry leader in its commitment to deliver innovative, non-opioid pain therapies to transform the lives of patients, today issued the following communication with important facts stockholders should know to help protect their Pacira investment.
The complete text of the letter mailed to stockholders is as follows:
May 27, 2026
Dear Pacira Stockholders,
As we approach our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 9, 2026, you face an important decision regarding your investment in Pacira.
As we’ve communicated with you, one of our stockholders, DOMA Perpetual Capital Management LLC (“DOMA Perpetual” or “DOMA”)1 has continued to pursue a distracting and misinformed proxy contest to replace Pacira’s highly qualified board nominees - Christopher Christie, Samit Hirawat, MD and Thomas Wiggans - with its own candidates, Christopher Dennis, Oliver Benton Curtis III and Eric de Armas.
Pacira today is a markedly different company from a few years ago, and our progress speaks for itself despite DOMA’s attempts to diminish it by deliberately distorting the facts.
In 2024, we strengthened our executive leadership team with the appointment of Frank D. Lee as CEO. Since then, the board and management team have worked to stabilize the business, build a credible long-term plan and rally the organization around our 5x30 strategy, designed to grow our existing commercial business and build a more balanced product portfolio by 2030.
Last year was an important, transformational year in the execution of this strategy, which resulted in meaningful progress across our business, renewed momentum and strategic clarity.
We urge you to protect your investment today and support Pacira’s continued positive momentum by voting the BLUE proxy card “FOR” each of Pacira’s three highly qualified board nominees.
PACIRA’S POSITIVE PERFORMANCE
Pacira’s renewed momentum and strategic clarity over the last 16 months is driven by the launch and execution of our 5x30 strategy for stockholder value creation. In fact, we have definitive results that show we are making significant progress to deliver sustainable value:
1) Since the launch of our 5x30 strategy, our stock is up over
2) Pacira was profitable in 2025 and delivered strong performance including:
-
- Record total revenues of
$726.4 million ; - GAAP net income of
$7.0 million or$0.16 per basic and diluted share; - Non-GAAP net income of
$122.3 million or$2.74 per basic share and$2.65 per diluted share;3 - Record GAAP Gross Margins of
79.4% ; and - Record Non-GAAP Gross Margins of
81.2% .4
- Record total revenues of
3) Our 5x30 strategy is working:
-
- Our products treated over 2.5 million patients in 2025, reinforcing our trajectory toward helping 3 million patients annually by 2030.
- EXPAREL achieved year-over-year volume growth of
6.2% in 2025, up from3.6% in 2024, marking progress toward our goal of double-digit compounded annual topline growth. Of note, EXPAREL volume growth achieved a meaningful lift in the second half of 2025 with volume growth of8% over the prior year period, nearly double that of the first half of the year. Furthermore, starting in the second half of this year, we expect volume growth and sales growth to converge. - We advanced two promising Phase 2 clinical programs – PCRX-201, our novel locally administered gene therapy for osteoarthritis (OA), and our recently in-licensed asset PCRX-2002, a complementary, long-acting, ropivacaine-based local analgesic for postsurgical pain. These programs place us on course for our goal of five novel programs by 2030, and each has the potential to deliver topline accretion as we move beyond 2030.
- We expanded our commercial reach both inside and outside the U.S. by signing strategic collaborations with Johnson & Johnson MedTech and LG Chem, advancing us toward our goal of five partnerships by 2030. Through these collaborations we have already tripled our U.S. commercial reach to physicians with a leading industry partner, and we see a significant addressable market with approximately 15 million people in the U.S. affected by knee OA.
We are focused on realizing value across all our products and bringing new sources of revenue online. We have made meaningful progress diversifying our portfolio beyond the U.S. EXPAREL franchise and are particularly encouraged by the achievements being made with two of our other products, ZILRETTA and iovera°. The below highlights our best-in-class commercial portfolio that is now demonstrating reinvigorated growth with multiple expected drivers of near- and long-term growth.
Figure 15
Beyond our existing commercial base, we continue to invest in our pipeline, to ensure the Company is positioned to drive growth beyond 2030. Based on our disciplined investments in Research and Development, we expect three key data readouts at the end of this year that have the potential for stockholder value creation.
Figure 25
In short, we believe we entered 2026 in the strongest position in our history and we are confident that we are on the right path forward. We believe we have substantial upside potential supported by our strong fundamentals and sustained growth trajectory.
PACIRA REACHED A FARSIGHTED EXPAREL SETTLEMENT, DELIVERING A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR STOCKHOLDERS AND REINFORCING VALIDITY OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STRATEGY
Pacira reached a favorable EXPAREL settlement in 2025, which we believe was a strategic win for stockholders as it gives Pacira full exclusivity into 2030 and a gradual, capped transition through 2039. That's a clear runway to execute our diversification strategy without the rapid decline and disruption normally seen with generic entry.
But don’t just take our word for it. Commentors have relayed the same sentiment.6
- “The settlement is a win for PCRX and the EXPAREL franchise, bringing needed clarity and 5-yrs of protection to potentially realize the benefits of internal drivers such as GPO contracting and NOPAIN across the surgical segments; importantly, the settlement allows the company to focus squarely on hitting their 5x30 objectives, which we believe could ultimately yield long-term pipeline growth drivers for revenues 2030+.” – RBC Capital Markets April 7, 2025
- “We think this is clearly a positive development for PCRX, and the terms are between our base and good case scenarios for the company.” – J.P. Morgan April 7, 2025
- “Pacira announced that settlement with Fresenius Kabi (FRE:GR;not rated) and the would-be Gx EXPAREL Chinese manufacturer Jiangsu Hengrui (600276:CH; not rated), and the deal looks as favorable for Pacira as anyone could have reasonably hoped for, and in our view representing profound upside to the current valuation.” – H.C. Wainwright & CO. April 8, 2025
- “We think the outcome is largely neutral to slightly favorable to Pacira but ultimately gives investors the certainty they've been looking for.” – Truist Securities April 7, 2025
Pacira stockholders should understand that the potential for additional generic competition is a common dynamic with successful products like EXPAREL. However, we have been proactive in an attempt to prevent future litigation attempts, including expanding EXPAREL’s patent estate to 21 “Orange-Book” listed patents across two families, which provide exclusivity through the mid-2040s, a significant evolution from the single patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,033,495 (the ‘495 patent), which was previously the subject of patent infringement litigation in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Following the New Jersey Court’s decision, we secured a favorable reexamination of the ’495 patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Importantly, during this process we believe we addressed any weakness in this patent through amended claims that added volume limitations and resolved other issues noted in the New Jersey Court’s opinion. The ‘495 patent was reissued, and the Company believes it is now the strongest in this family of patents.
DOMA’s claims about our intellectual property strategy demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of our business, and we remain steadfast in our belief that the EXPAREL franchise is strong and well protected from multiple directions.
PACIRA’S BOARD IS FIT FOR PURPOSE AND WORKING TO SERVE YOU, OUR VALUED STOCKHOLDERS
We want to be clear - the quality and composition of our board is a top priority.
Pacira’s recently refreshed and highly qualified board has played an essential role in overseeing the execution of our strategic priorities as well as the overall strategic direction of the Company. Furthermore, our directors have a longstanding track record of stockholder engagement.
Following the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Pacira’s board took the following actions, further demonstrating our commitment to stockholder engagement7:
- Contacted 41 stockholders, representing
97.4% of shares outstanding; and - Engaged 11 stockholders, where 8 out of the 11 meetings were led by independent directors, representing
56.7% of shares outstanding.
In addition, our board takes its responsibility to all stockholders incredibly seriously, and has consistently shown its responsiveness to stockholder feedback, for example we:
- Appointed five independent directors since 2023 (and nominated a sixth for election at the Annual Meeting) to bring fresh perspectives and directly address stockholder preferences;
- Separated board Chair and CEO roles in January 2024 to instill greater accountability;
- Encouraged a board member to resign from an outside board to address stockholder concerns regarding overboarding;
- Amended our bylaws to reflect the adoption of a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections, with a plurality voting standard for contested elections; and
- Evolved our executive compensation program, including introducing performance share units for 2026, refining our peer group alignment, enhancing proxy statement disclosure and reinforcing a disciplined approach to one-time awards in the context of executive compensation.
As it relates to DOMA, members of your board and executive leadership team have also met with DOMA 17 times since September 2023 and interviewed DOMA nominees Oliver Benton Curtis III and Christopher Dennis. Importantly, Eric de Armas did not provide his availability for an interview, despite Pacira’s multiple good faith requests.
Following these nominee interviews and our established vetting processes, Pacira’s board determined that none of DOMA’s nominees possess the knowledge and experience necessary to be value additive to Pacira’s board.
We urge you to support Pacira’s continued positive momentum. Vote the BLUE proxy card today “FOR” each of Pacira’s three highly qualified board nominees - Christopher Christie, Samit Hirawat, MD and Thomas Wiggans - and DISREGARD any white proxy card you may receive from DOMA.
If you have questions or require assistance with voting your shares, please contact Pacira’s proxy solicitor:

This document is not a substitute for the 2026 Proxy Statement or any other document that Pacira has filed or may file with the SEC in connection with any solicitation by Pacira. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF PACIRA ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH OR FURNISHED TO THE SEC, INCLUDING PACIRA’S DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. These documents, including the definitive 2026 Proxy Statement (and any amendments or supplements thereto) and other documents filed by Pacira with the SEC, are, or will be when filed, available for no charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and on Pacira’s investor relations website at https://investor.pacira.com.

Information regarding the names of such persons and their respective interests in Pacira by security holdings or otherwise is set forth in the 2026 Proxy Statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This document contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) — Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Net Income Per Common Share and Non-GAAP Weighted Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding — because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of items that management believes affect comparability or underlying business trends.
These measures supplement Pacira’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pacira management uses these measures to better analyze its financial results, estimate its future gross margin and to help make managerial decisions. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of Pacira’s financial statements by providing greater transparency into the ongoing operating performance of Pacira and its future outlook. These measures should not be deemed to be an alternative to GAAP requirements. The non-GAAP measures presented here are also unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP disclosures released by other companies. See the tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
