On March 17, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of DexCom, Inc.

(a) Amendment to Bylaws
On March 17, 2011, the Board of Directors of DexCom, Inc. (“DexCom”) approved an amendment to DexCom’s Bylaws in Article II, Section 2.2 to change the vote standard for the election of directors from plurality to a majority of votes cast in uncontested elections. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director. In contested elections the vote standard will continue to be a plurality of votes cast. In addition, the Board approved an amendment to Article I, Section 1.11 of the Bylaws to provide that director nominees proposed by shareholders must deliver a statement that, if elected, they agree to tender an irrevocable resignation, in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles that are applicable to all director nominees, upon failure to receive the required vote in a subsequent election.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, as amended and restated, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated by reference herein.
