The Delaware Department of Justice today announced today that it has reached a
settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requiring new limits on the
emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants from cement plants. The EPA’s new rules will address
mercury and other toxic emissions from Portland cement plants nationwide. Portland cement is the
most common type of cement and a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco and grout. Delaware
joined eight other states in today’s agreement.

“With today’s agreement, the EPA has committed to take appropriate measures to reduce
hazardous pollution that harms the environment and poses a risk to health”, stated State Solicitor
Lawrence Lewis.

In February 2007, a coalition of states including Delaware, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against the EPA
for adopting air emission standards for cement plants that did not adequately control mercury and other
hazardous air pollutants. The suit, Portland Cement Association v. EPA, argued that the EPA had not
based emission standards for these plants on state-of-the-art pollution control technology, in violation
of the Clean Air Act.

Today’s settlement requires EPA to propose new standards for mercury and other hazardous air
pollutant emissions from cement plants by March 31, 2009 and to adopt final standards by March 31,
2010 after taking public comment. As required by the Clean Air Act, the Agency must require the
maximum available pollution control technology in setting these standards.

Today’s settlement will go into effect after the EPA publishes it in the Federal Register and
provides an opportunity for notice and comment. Several environmental groups joined the states in
today’s settlement, including the Friends of Hudson, Earthjustice, the Sierra Club, Desert Citizens
Against Pollution, Downwinders At Risk, Huron Environmental Activist League, and Montanans
Against Toxic Burning. Portland Cement Association, an industry group, also signed the settlement.

The Delaware Department of Justice announced today that it has reached a proposed settlement
with Eli Lilly and Company to settle allegations that the company engaged in a marketing campaign
that improperly promoted its anti-psychotic drug, Zyprexa. Under the proposed settlement, Eli Lilly
will pay the states and the federal government a total of $800 million in civil damages and penalties to
compensate Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Based on the Delaware Medicaid
Program’s utilization of the drug, Delaware’s share of the civil settlement will be $602,000, which will
be split between the State Medicaid Program and the State’s General Fund.

“Unscrupulous marketing practices harm consumers,” stated Timothy Mullaney, Director of the
Delaware Department of Justice Fraud and Consumer Protection Division. “Through this agreement
we’re taking action to ensure compliance with the law and protect taxpayer dollars.”

Between September, 1999 and December, 2005 Eli Lilly promoted the sale and use of Zyprexa,
an antipsychotic medication used to treat certain psychological disorders, for “off-label” uses which
the Food and Drug Administration had not approved, such as the treatment of depression, anxiety,
irritability, disrupted sleep, nausea and gambling addiction. Eli Lilly promoted Zyprexa to
psychiatrists and primary care physicians and also provided money and other items of value to health
care professionals. As a result of these promotional activities, physicians prescribed Zyprexa for
children and adolescents, dementia patients in long term care facilities, and in unapproved dosage
amounts, all of which are uses that were not were not medically accepted indications for which state
Medicaid programs would approve reimbursement.

As part of the settlement, Eli Lilly will also enter a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the
United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, which will
closely monitor the company’s future marketing and sales practices.

A National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units (NAMFCU) team participated in the
investigation and conducted the settlement negotiations with Eli Lilly on behalf of the states. The
Delaware representative on the NAMFCU team, Deputy Attorney General Daniel R. Miller, also
serves as President of the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units.
