The purpose of this Amendment No. 6 is to amend and supplement the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 previously filed by Schering AG on November 30, 2006 (the “Schedule 14D-9”). Capitalized terms defined in the Schedule 14D-9 and used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified in the Schedule 14D-9.
ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by the following information:
On May 3, 2007, Bayer Schering Pharma prevailed in both proceedings relating to the Domination Agreement. The Berlin District Court dismissed as unfounded the action contesting the shareholder resolution on the Domination Agreement passed at the extraordinary general meeting of Bayer Schering Pharma held on September 13, 2006. At the same time the Berlin District Court found in favor of Bayer Schering Pharma in the special proceedings (Freigabeverfahren), ruling that the shareholder actions brought neither prevent the registration of the Domination Agreement in the commercial register nor prejudice the effects of the registration. Either of these court decisions may be appealed within the applicable appeal period.
ITEM 9. EXHIBITS.
Item 9 is amended and supplemented by adding thereto:
