 An Introduction to Chattem December 21, 2009 Exhibit 99.3 |
 2 Forward Looking Statements Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words, “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements in this presentation include references to our announced transaction with sanofi-aventis. Forward- looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of management, which in turn are based on currently available information. The forward- looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2008, as added or revised by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the caption “Risk Factors” and unexpected delays or impediments to the announced transaction with sanofi-aventis. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these in light of new information or future events. Important additional information: The tender offer described in this presentation has not yet commenced and this presentation is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Chattem. At the time the tender offer is commenced, River Acquisition Corp. and sanofi-aventis will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, containing an offer to purchase, form of letter of transmittal and related tender offer documents, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Chattem will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 relating to the tender offer with the SEC. Sanofi-aventis and Chattem intend to mail these documents to the shareholders of Chattem. These documents will contain important information about the tender offer and shareholders of Chattem are urged to read them carefully when they become available. Shareholders of Chattem will be able to obtain a free copy of these documents, when they become available, at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. |
