Elan will hold its 2002 Annual General Meeting on July 31st. The company also dismissed earlier reports that the AGM had been postponed from a date in May as "press speculation".
Mr Donal Geaney, chairman and chief executive of Elan, commented: "We believe that press speculation inferring the 2002 Elan Annual General Meeting has been 'put off' is highly speculative based upon the account of a 'trader'".
He added that Elan was not contacted by any member of the media for verification of this story.
In addition, Elan expects to report its second quarter earnings on July 31st.
