Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Santarus, Inc. 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 17, 2011, stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named executive officers. As previously reported by the company, the frequency of once every three years received the highest number of votes cast. This vote was consistent with the recommendation of the company’s Board of Directors. Based on these results and other factors, the company’s Board of Directors has determined that the company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers once every three years until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such future non-binding advisory votes.

The information reported under Item 5.07 of the June 17, 2011 Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference.
