PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT
DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
November 3, 2005
The proxy statement filed by Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) on September 27, 2005,
relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 3, 2005, inadvertently
included in Proposal No. 2 an incorrect price for the closing price of the Companys Common Stock
on September 21, 2005. The closing price of a share of Common Stock on September 21, 2005 (the
most recent practicable date before publication of the proxy statement) was $53.15. The proxy
statement also inadvertently omitted the form of proxy card to be sent to the Companys
stockholders, which should have been included as Annex B. The form of proxy card is attached
hereto.
