SUMMARY TERM SHEET
The following are answers to some of the questions that you may have about the Purchase Right. To understand the Purchase Right fully and for a more complete description of the terms of the Purchase Right, we urge you to carefully read the remainder of this Offer to Purchase because the information in this summary is not complete. We have included section references to direct you to a more complete description of the topics in this summary.
Who is offering to purchase my Notes?
The Company, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is offering to purchase the Notes. The address of the Company’s principal executive offices is 420 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, New York, 10502.
Why are you offering to purchase my Notes?
The Indenture, dated as of January 9, 2008, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee, pursuant to which the Notes were issued, gives you, as a Holder, the right to require us to purchase all or part of your Notes upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change. As discussed above, Fundamental Changes occurred as a result of both the Tender Offer Completion and as a result of the Merger. In addition, once the Delisting is effective, it will also constitute a Fundamental Change under the Indenture.
What Notes are you obligated to purchase?
We are obligated to purchase all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Purchase Right and not validly withdrawn by Holders. As described in the Indenture, Holders tendering less than all of their Notes must tender an aggregate principal amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. As of June 17, 2010, there were $160 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. See “3.2.Purchase Price.”
How much will you pay and what is the form of payment?
For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Purchase Right and not validly withdrawn, we will pay, in cash, the applicable Purchase Price of $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Purchase Date. The Tender Completion Purchase Price, the Merger Purchase Price and the Delisting Purchase Price are based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and bear no relationship to the market price of the Notes or the Common Stock. See “3.2.Purchase Price.”
If I tender my Notes, when will I receive payment for them?
On July 16, 2010, the Tender Completion Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Completion Purchase Right. On July 21, 2010, the Merger Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Merger Purchase Right. Subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, which we expect will occur on June 18, 2010, on August 2, 2010, the Delisting Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Delisting Purchase Right.
We will forward to the Paying Agent, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date the appropriate amount of cash required to pay the applicable Purchase Price for those Notes,

and the Paying Agent will promptly distribute the cash to DTC, the sole record holder of the Notes. DTC will thereafter distribute the cash to its participants in accordance with its procedures. See “6. Payment for Tendered Notes; Source and Amount of Funds.”
What are my conversion rights with respect to my Notes?
As a result of the Tender Offer Completion and the Merger, Holders have the right under the Indenture (1) to require the Company to purchase their Notes at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable Purchase Date; (2) to convert their Notes on or before the Tender Completion Conversion Deadline for cash at the applicable Base Conversion Rate of 19.0284 (as increased pursuant to Section 4.01(j) of the Indenture); or (3) to convert their Notes on or before the Merger Conversion Deadline for cash at the applicable Base Conversion Rate of 19.0284 (as increased pursuant to Section 4.01(j) of the Indenture). The Incremental Share Factor for conversions in connection with Tender Offer Completion and for conversions in connection with the Merger has been adjusted pursuant to the Indenture. The Incremental Share Factor so adjusted is 10.4657.
Subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, which we expect will occur on June 18, 2010, Holders will have the right (1) to require the Company to purchase their Notes at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Delisting Purchase Date or (2) to convert their Notes on or before the Delisting Conversion Deadline for cash at the applicable Base Conversion Rate of 13.5463. For purposes of conversion in connection with the Delisting, neither the Base Conversion Rate nor the Incremental Share Factor will be increased or adjusted.
If you do not tender your Notes pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right, you retain the conversion rights associated with your Notes pursuant to the Indenture (as supplemented from time to time). If you validly tender all or part of your Notes pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right, you may not surrender such Notes for conversion unless you validly withdraw your Notes prior to the applicable Conversion Deadline. If you validly tender and do not validly withdraw your Notes prior to the applicable Expiration Time, you will no longer have conversion rights. See “3.3.Conversion Rights of the Notes.”
Are my Notes currently convertible?
Yes. The Company previously announced the convertibility of the Notes pursuant to Sections 3.08(b), 4.01(e) and 4.09 of the Indenture and indicated that Holders have the right to convert their Notes according to the terms of the Indenture in connection with the Tender Offer Completion and in connection with the Merger at any time before the applicable Conversion Deadline. See “3.3.Conversion Rights of the Notes.”
How can I determine the market value of the Notes?
There is no established reporting system or market for trading in the Notes. Accordingly, there is no practical way to determine the trading history of the Notes. The Company believes that trading in the Notes has been limited and sporadic. See “3.4.Market for the Notes and the Common Stock.”
What do the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Acquirer and the Trustee think of the Purchase Right?
Neither our Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of the Acquirer, nor the Trustee, nor the Paying Agent, nor the Conversion Agent has made any recommendation as to whether or not you should tender your Notes for purchase pursuant to the Purchase Right. You must make your own decision whether to tender your Notes for purchase pursuant to the Purchase Right and, if so, the amount of Notes to tender. The Purchase Right and our Offer to Purchase Notes pursuant thereto as described in this Offer to Purchase is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes. See “3.2.Purchase Price.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the purchase price to be paid by us for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes on the applicable Purchase Date is 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Purchase Date, with respect to any and all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn prior to the applicable Expiration Time. We will pay the applicable Purchase Price in cash with respect to any and all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn. Notes tendered for purchase will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. Unless we default in making payment of the Purchase Price on any Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn, interest on those Notes will cease to accrue as of the end of the day immediately preceding the applicable Purchase Date.
The Purchase Price is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and bears no relationship to the market price of the Notes or the Common Stock. Thus, the applicable Purchase Price may be significantly higher or lower than the market price of the Notes on the applicable Purchase Date. We urge

Table of Contents
Holders to obtain the best available information as to the current market prices of the Notes and the Common Stock before making a decision whether to tender Notes for purchase.
None of the Company, the Acquirer, their respective Boards of Directors, their respective employees, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent are making any representation or recommendation to Holders as to whether or not to tender Notes for purchase pursuant to this Offer to Purchase. Each Holder must make its own decision whether or not to tender Notes for purchase and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender based on that Holder’s own assessment of the current market value of the Notes, the Common Stock and other relevant factors.
3.3. Conversion Rights of the Notes. Pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(6) of the Indenture, Holders may currently surrender all or part of their Notes for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change to the Conversion Agent before the applicable Conversion Deadline. The Company previously announced the convertibility of the Notes pursuant to Sections 3.08(b), 4.01(e) and 4.09 of the Indenture and indicated that Holders have the right, and subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, will have the right to convert their Notes according to the terms of the Indenture as a result of the Tender Offer Completion, the Merger and the Delisting at any time before the applicable Conversion Deadline.
In addition, as previously announced, the Notes also became convertible on April 1, 2010 and remain convertible through June 30, 2010 as a result of the satisfaction of the Market Price Condition under Section 4.01(a)(1) of the Indenture and will remain convertible in the third quarter of 2010.
Conversion of the Notes will be settled in cash pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Indenture. The Company and the Trustee will enter into a supplemental indenture to amend the Indenture to fix the Company’s conversion obligation with respect to the Notes. As set forth in the supplemental indenture, the Company’s conversion obligation with respect to Notes that are converted at any time after the Merger will be an amount in cash based on a price per share of Common Stock of $57.50.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Notes may be converted into cash on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of January 15, 2038, under the following circumstances:
• | at any time on or before July 15, 2010, at the option of the Holder, as set forth in the Supplemental Issuer Fundamental Change Notice; Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Acquisition of 50% or More of Company’s Voting Stock; Issuer Fundamental Change Notice and Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Anticipated Merger issued by the Company on June 3, 2010 regarding the right of Holders to convert their Notes as a result of the Tender Offer Completion; | |
• | at any time on or before July 20, 2010, at the option of the Holder, as set forth in the Supplemental Issuer Fundamental Change Notice and Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Merger; Issuer Fundamental Change Notice and Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Anticipated Delisting issued by the Company on June 9, 2010 regarding the right of Holders to convert their Notes as a result of the Merger; | |
• | subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, which we expect will occur on June 18, 2010, at any time on or after June 18, 2010 and on or before July 30, 2010, at the option of the Holder, as set forth in the Supplemental Issuer Fundamental Change Notice and Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Merger; Issuer Fundamental Change Notice and Fundamental Change Conversion Notice with Regard to Anticipated Delisting issued by the Company on June 9, 2010 regarding the right of Holders to convert their Notes as a result of the Delisting; | |
• | on or before January 14, 2038, during any fiscal quarter if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the last 30 consecutive Trading Days of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeds 130% of the Base Conversion Price in effect on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (the“Market Price Condition”); | |
• | on or before January 14, 2038, during any five consecutive Business Day period immediately following any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the |
8
Table of Contents
Notes for each Trading Day during that period was less than 97% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such day and the then applicable Daily Conversion Rate for such day; |
• | during specified periods in connection with specified corporate transactions described in Section 4.01(a)(3), (4), (5) and (6) of the Indenture; and | |
• | at any time after December 15, 2037. |
The applicable Base Conversion Rate for conversions in connection with the Tender Offer Completion and for conversions in connection with the Merger is 19.0284 (as increased pursuant to Section 4.01(j) of the Indenture). The applicable Incremental Share Factor for conversions in connection with the Tender Offer Completion and for conversions in connection with the Merger has been increased pursuant to the Indenture. The Incremental Share Factor so increased is 10.4657. The Company estimates that conversion consideration for conversions in connection with the Tender Offer Completion and for conversions in connection with the Merger is $1,145.91 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, the applicable Base Conversion Rate for conversions in connection with the Delisting will be 13.5463, and the applicable Incremental Share Factor will be 7.4505. For purposes of conversion in connection with the Delisting, neither the Base Conversion Rate nor the Incremental Share Factor will be increased or adjusted. The Company estimates that conversion consideration for conversions in connection with the Delisting is approximately $778.91 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
To surrender a Note for conversion, a Holder must, in the case of a Note in global form, comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time, and in the case of a certificated Note in non-global form:
(a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Note being converted and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent;
(b) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent;
(c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent;
(d) if the Note is surrendered for conversion after 5 p.m. New York City time on July 1, 2010, the Regular Record Date for the Notes, and before 9 a.m. New York City time on July 15, 2010, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, pay to the Conversion Agent the amount equal to the interest payable on such converted Securities on July 15, 2010 as required by Section 4.02(c) of the Indenture; and
Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been validly sent to the Company may be converted only to the extent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Regarding any conversion of Notes, a Holder must pay any withholding, transfer or similar tax, if required by the Indenture. For more information regarding the conversion rights with respect to the Notes, or any of the other terms and conditions of the Notes, please see the Indenture filed by the Company as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report onForm 8-K filed with the SEC on January 15, 2008.
Holders that do not tender their Notes for purchase pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right retain the conversion rights associated with their Notes pursuant to the Indenture. Holders who validly tender all or part of their Notes pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right may not surrender such tendered Notes for conversion unless they validly withdraw their Notes prior to the applicable Expiration Time and validly surrender their Notes for conversion prior to the applicable Conversion Deadline, as described in Section 5 below. Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes prior to the applicable Expiration Time or do not validly surrender their Notes for conversion prior to the applicable Conversion Deadline will no longer have conversion rights related to that Conversion Deadline.
3.4. Market for the Notes and the Common Stock. There is no established reporting system or trading market for trading in the Notes. Accordingly, there is no practical way to determine the trading history of the Notes. The Company believes that trading in the Notes has been limited and sporadic. Quotations for securities
9
Table of Contents
that are not widely traded, such as the Notes, may differ from actual trading prices and should be viewed as approximations. To the extent such information is available, Holders are urged to contact their brokers with respect to current information regarding the market price of the Notes.
A debt security with a small outstanding principal amount available for trading (a small “float”) may command a lower price and trade with greater volatility than would a comparable debt security with a greater float. Consequently, the Company’s purchase of Notes pursuant to this Offer to Purchase will reduce the float and may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and price volatility of the Notes that remain outstanding following this Offer to Purchase. The Company cannot assure you that a trading market will exist for the Notes following this Offer to Purchase. The extent of the market for the Notes following consummation of this Offer to Purchase will depend upon, among other things, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Notes at such time, the number of Holders remaining at such time and the interest in maintaining a market in such Notes on the part of securities firms.
Prior to the effective date of the Merger, the Common Stock traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Acquirer. Trading of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market was suspended following the close of the NASDAQ trading session on June 8, 2010, and the delisting of the Common Stock is expected to be effective on June 18, 2010. As a result, there is no longer any public trading in the Common Stock.
The Trustee has informed us that, as of the date of this Offer to Purchase, all of the Notes are held in global form through DTC. As of June 15, 2010, there were $160 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, and DTC was the sole record Holder.
We urge you to obtain current market information for the Notes, to the extent available, and the Common Stock before making any decision with respect to the Purchase Right.
3.5. Ranking. The Notes are our direct senior subordinated, unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article 5 of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness). Creditors of each of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, generally have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of each subsidiary over the claims of our creditors, including Holders. The Notes, therefore, effectively are subordinated to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors, of our subsidiaries.
4. Procedures to Be Followed by Holders Electing to Tender Notes for Purchase. In order to receive the applicable Purchase Price for their Notes, Holders must tender their Notes no later than the Tender Completion Purchase Expiration Time for purchases in connection with the Tender Offer Completion and no later than the Merger Purchase Expiration Time for purchases in connection with the Merger. Holders may tender some or all of their Notes, however, any Notes tendered must be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
Only registered holders of the Notes are authorized to tender their Notes for purchase. The Trustee has informed us that, as of the date of this Offer to Purchase, DTC is the sole registered holder of the Notes and all custodians and beneficial holders of the Notes hold the Notes through DTC accounts and that there are no certificated Notes in non-global form.
You will not be required to pay any commission to us, DTC or the Paying Agent in connection with the Purchase Right. However, there may be commissions you need to pay to your broker in connection with your tender of the Notes for purchase.
Notes that are not validly tendered pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right before the Tender Completion Purchase Expiration Time or the Merger Purchase Expiration Time will remain outstanding at the option of the Holder and will continue to be subject to the existing terms of the Indenture (as supplemented from time to time) and the Notes.

Table of Contents
4.1. Method of Delivery. Since DTC is the sole registered holder of the Notes, all Notes tendered for purchase must be delivered through DTC’s Automatic Tenders over the Participant Terminal System (“ATOP”). Any tender of Notes is at the risk of the person tendering those Notes.
4.2. Agreement to Be Bound. By tendering Notes through the transmittal procedures of DTC, a Holder acknowledges and agrees as follows:
• | pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right, such Notes shall be purchased as of the applicable Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Notes and in the Indenture; | |
• | such Holder has received this Offer to Purchase; | |
• | such Holder agrees to all of the terms of this Offer to Purchase; | |
• | upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase, the Indenture and the Notes, and effective upon the acceptance for payment thereof, such Holder (i) irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to us, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Notes tendered, (ii) waives any and all rights with respect to the Notes (including without limitation any existing or past defaults and their consequences), (iii) releases and discharges us and our directors, officers, employees and affiliates and the Trustee from any and all claims such Holder may have now, or may have in the future arising out of, or related to, the Notes, including, without limitation, any claims that such Holder is entitled to receive additional principal or interest payments with respect to the Notes and (iv) irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Paying Agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of such Holder with respect to any such tendered Notes (with full knowledge that the Paying Agent also acts as agent for the Company), with full power of substitution and resubstitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to (a) transfer ownership of such Notes, on the account books maintained by DTC, together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to us, (b) present such Notes for transfer on the relevant security register and (c) receive all benefits or otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Notes (except that the Paying Agent will have no rights to, or control over, funds from us, except as agent for us, for the Purchase Price of any tendered Notes that are purchased by us), all in accordance with the terms set forth in this Offer to Purchase; | |
• | such Holder represents and warrants that such Holder (i) owns the Notes tendered and is entitled to tender such Notes and (ii) has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Notes tendered and that when such Notes are accepted for purchase and payment by us, we will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim or right; | |
• | such Holder agrees, upon request from us, to execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Paying Agent or us to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Notes tendered; | |
• | such Holder understands that all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn prior to the applicable Expiration Time will be purchased at the Tender Completion Purchase Price or the Merger Purchase Price, as applicable, in cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Notes and this Offer to Purchase, as amended or supplemented from time to time, on the applicable Purchase Date; | |
• | payment for Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer to Purchase will be made by deposit of the applicable Purchase Price for such Notes with the Paying Agent, which will act as agent for tendering Holders for the purpose of receiving payments from us and transmitting such payments to such Holders; | |
• | tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the applicable Expiration Time by written notice of withdrawal delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Indenture and this Offer to Purchase; |
11
Table of Contents
• | all authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to the terms hereof shall survive the death or incapacity of the Holder and every obligation of the Holder and shall be binding upon the Holder’s heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in bankruptcy and other legal representatives; | |
• | the delivery and tender of the Notes is not effective, and the risk of loss of the Notes does not pass to the Paying Agent, until receipt by the Paying Agent of any and all evidences of authority and any other required documents in form satisfactory to us; and | |
• | all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Notes pursuant to the procedures described in this Offer to Purchase and the form and validity (including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal) of all documents will be determined by us, in our sole direction, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. |
4.3. Delivery of Notes.
Notes Held Through a Custodian. A Holder whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact that nominee if the Holder desires to tender the Holder’s Notes and instruct that nominee to tender the Notes for purchase on the Holder’s behalf through the transmittal procedures of DTC as set forth below in “— Notes Held by DTC Participants.”
Notes Held by DTC Participants. A Holder who is a DTC participant must tender that Holder’s Notes by:
• | delivering to the Paying Agent’s account at DTC through DTC’s book-entry system such Holder’s beneficial interest in the Notes; and | |
• | electronically transmitting such Holder’s acceptance through ATOP, subject to the terms and procedures of that system. |
In tendering through ATOP, the electronic instructions sent to DTC by the Holder or by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee on the Holder’s behalf, and transmitted by DTC to the Paying Agent, will acknowledge, on behalf of DTC and the Holder, receipt by the Holder of and agreement to be bound by the terms of the applicable Purchase Right, including those set forth in Section 4.2 above.
You bear the risk of untimely submission of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary procedures prior to the applicable Expiration Date.
5. Right of Withdrawal. Notes tendered for purchase may be withdrawn at any time prior to the applicable Expiration Time. Notes so withdrawn may be re-tendered by following the tender procedures described in Section 4 above.
In order to withdraw Notes prior to the applicable Expiration Time, a Holder (or the Holder’s broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee) must comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC in sufficient time to allow DTC to withdraw those Notes prior to the applicable Conversion Deadline.
Notes tendered for purchase pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right may not be converted unless such Notes are first withdrawn prior to the applicable Expiration Time.
You bear the risk of untimely withdrawal of previously tendered Notes. If you wish to withdraw your Notes prior to the applicable Expiration Time, you must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary procedures prior the applicable Expiration Time.
6. Payment for Tendered Notes; Source and Amount of Funds. On July 16, 2010, the Tender Completion Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Completion Purchase Right. On July 21, 2010, the Merger Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Merger Purchase Right. Subject to the effectiveness of the Delisting, which we expect will occur on June 18,
12
Table of Contents
2010, on August 2, 2010, the Delisting Purchase Date, we will accept for payment all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Delisting Purchase Right.
We will forward to the Paying Agent, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date the appropriate amount of cash required to pay the applicable Purchase Price for all Notes validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn, and the Paying Agent will promptly thereafter distribute that cash to DTC, the sole record holder of the Notes. DTC will thereafter distribute the cash to its participants in accordance with its procedures.
The total amount of funds required by us to purchase the Notes is approximately $160.2 million (assuming all of the Notes are validly tendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn). The Company will use its cash on hand for the purchase of the Notes.
7. Cancellation of Notes Acquired. Any Notes purchased by us pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right will be cancelled by the Trustee, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
8. Certain Changes Related to the Tender Completion and the Merger. The Company intends to deregister the Common Stock under applicable SEC rules and delist from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company requested that the NASDAQ Stock Market file a delisting notification on Form 25 with the SEC to delist the Common Stock and terminate registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, which NASDAQ filed with the SEC on June 8, 2010. Accordingly, following the filing by the Company of a Form 15 with the SEC and the deregistration of the Common Stock , the Company will no longer be obligated to file information, documents or reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Indenture does not require the Company to file or otherwise provide Holders with such reports if it ceases to be subject to such reporting requirements.
9. Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Affiliates of the Company in the Notes. Except as otherwise disclosed below, to the knowledge of the Company:
• | none of us or our executive officers, directors, subsidiaries or other affiliates has any beneficial interest in the Notes; | |
• | we will not purchase any Notes from such persons; and | |
• | during the 60 days preceding the date of this Offer to Purchase, none of such officers, directors or affiliates has engaged in any transactions in the Notes, other than the Merger and related transactions required by the Indenture as described elsewhere herein. |
A list of the directors and executive officers of the Company and the directors and executive officers of Astellas is attached to this Offer to Purchase as Annex “A”.
10. Agreements Involving the Company’s Securities. Except as described above and in this Offer to Purchase, none of the Company, or to its knowledge, any of its affiliates, directors or executive officers, is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement with any other person relating, directly or indirectly, to the Purchase Right or with respect to any of our securities, including, but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement concerning the transfer or the voting of the securities, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, consents or authorizations.
11. Purchases of Notes by the Company and its Affiliates. Each of the Company and its affiliates, including its executive officers and directors, are prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes) other than pursuant to the applicable Purchase Right until at least the tenth business day after the applicable Purchase Date. Following that date, if any Notes remain outstanding, the Company and its affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at purchase prices higher or lower than the applicable Purchase Price and on other terms and for forms of consideration that may be different from those of the applicable Purchase Right. A decision to purchase Notes after the
13
Table of Contents
applicable Purchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the amount of Notes tendered for purchase pursuant to the Purchase Right, the market price of the Notes, the market price of the Common Stock, the business and financial position of the Company and general economic and market conditions.
12. Certain United States Tax Considerations. The following discussion summarizes certain United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a Holder if a Holder exercises the Purchase Right or converts the Notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the“Code”), its legislative history and the regulations, rulings and administrative and judicial decisions promulgated thereunder, all as in effect as of the date of this Offer to Purchase. All of these laws and authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
This discussion deals only with Holders who are beneficial owners of the Notes and who hold the Notes as capital assets. This discussion does not apply if a Holder is a member of a class of Holders subject to special rules, such as:
• | a dealer in securities or currencies; | |
• | a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings; | |
• | a bank, or other financial institution; | |
• | a regulated investment company; | |
• | a real estate investment trust; | |
• | an insurance company; | |
• | a tax-exempt organization; | |
• | a person that owns Notes that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks; | |
• | a partnership or other pass-through entity; | |
• | a person that owns Notes as part of a straddle, conversion transaction or constructive sale for tax purposes; | |
• | a United States Holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; or | |
• | expatriates and former long term residents of the U.S. |
This summary does not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a Holder.All Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising the Purchase Right or converting the Notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws, or under any other U.S. federal tax laws.
U.S. Holders
This discussion describes the tax consequences of the exercise of the Repurchase Right and conversion of the Notes to a U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of the Notes that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:
• | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; | |
• | a corporation (or any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; | |
• | an estate if its income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or | |
• | a trust if it has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person or a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. |
14
Table of Contents
• | If a partnership holds the Notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the Notes should consult its tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise of the Purchase Right or conversion of the Notes. |
This discussion does not apply tonon-U.S. Holders.
Exercise of the Purchase Right or Conversion Rights
Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss upon the exercise of the Purchase Right or conversion rights. The U.S. Holder’s gain or loss will equal the difference between (i) the amount of cash received (except to the extent such amount is attributable to accrued interest not previously included in income, which amount will be taxable as ordinary income, or is attributable to accrued interest that was previously included in income, which amount will not be subject to tax) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Notes tendered.
A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note will generally equal the original purchase price paid for the Note, increased by the amounts of any market discount previously included in income with respect to such Note and reduced by any amounts of amortizable bond premium previously deducted with respect to such Note.
Subject to the market discount rules discussed below, such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Holder held the Note for more than one year at the time of the sale of the Note pursuant to the Purchase Right or the time of exercise of conversion rights, as applicable. Long term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders currently are taxed at a maximum 15% federal rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
A U.S. Holder who acquired Notes at a market discount generally will be required to treat any gain recognized upon the purchase of its Notes pursuant to the Purchase Right or upon the exercise of conversion rights, as applicable, as ordinary income rather than capital gain to the extent of the accrued market discount, unless the U.S. Holder elected to include market discount in income as it accrued. Subject to ade minimisexception, “market discount” generally equals the excess of the “adjusted issue price” (i.e., the sum of the issue price of the Notes and the aggregate amount of original issue discount includible in gross income by all prior Holders of the Notes) of the Notes at the time acquired by the Holder over the Holder’s initial tax basis in the Notes.
Non-U.S. Holders
This discussion describes the tax consequences of the exercise of the Purchase Right and conversion of the Notes to anon-U.S. Holder. Anon-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of Notes (other than a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder. This section does not apply to U.S. Holders.
Amounts received pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Right or the conversion of the Notes, if any, attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on Notes held by anon-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that the U.S. Holder (a) does not actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company stock entitled to vote, (b) is not a controlled foreign corporation with respect to which the Company is a related person within the meaning of the Code, (c) is not a bank receiving interest on a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business and (d) has provided a validly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)Form W-8BEN establishing that it is anon-U.S. Holder (or satisfies certain documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is anon-U.S. Holder).
Anon-U.S. Holder of a Note will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gains realized on the sale of a Note pursuant to the Purchase Right or the conversion of the Notes unless (i) suchnon-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale and certain other conditions are met, or (ii) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by thenon-U.S. Holder of a
15
Table of Contents
trade or business in the U.S. and, if certain U.S. income tax treaties apply, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by thenon-U.S. Holder.
If anon-U.S. Holder of a Note is engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. and if amounts received attributable to accrued but unpaid interest or gain realized on the sale of a Note pursuant to the Purchase Right or the conversion of the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business (and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by thenon-U.S. Holder in the U.S.), thenon-U.S. Holder, although exempt from U.S. withholding tax (provided that the certification requirements discussed in the next sentence are met), will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such interest and gain on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. Suchnon-U.S. Holder will be required to provide us with a properly executed IRSForm W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from U.S. tax withholding. In addition, if suchnon-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as provided by an applicable U.S. income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
The Code and Treasury regulations require those who make specified payments to report the payments to the IRS. Among the specified payments are interest and proceeds paid by brokers to their customers. Payments made to U.S. Holders upon purchase or conversion of the Notes are generally subject to information reporting unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation and certain tax-exempt organizations.
The “backup withholding” rules generally require payors to withhold tax at a rate of 28% from payments subject to information reporting if the recipient fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number to the payor or fails to certify that payments received by such U.S. Holder are not subject to backup withholding. To satisfy these requirements and prevent backup withholding, U.S. Holders electing to exercise the Purchase Right or convert the Notes should complete the SubstituteForm W-9 enclosed with the Letter of Transmittal and provide it to the Paying Agent. A U.S. Holder exempt from backup withholding and information reporting should so indicate in Part 2 of the SubstituteForm W-9.
If anon-U.S. Holder holds Notes through thenon-U.S. office of anon-U.S. related broker or financial institution, backup withholding and information reporting generally will not apply. Information reporting, and possibly backup withholding, may apply if the Notes are held by anon-U.S. Holder through a U.S. broker or financial institution or the U.S. office of anon-U.S. broker or financial institution and thenon-U.S. Holder fails to provide the appropriate information. To prevent backup withholding,non-U.S. Holders should (i) submit a properly completed IRSForm W-8BEN (or other applicableForm W-8) certifying under penalties of perjury to the Holder’s foreign status or (ii) otherwise establish an exemption. IRSForm W-8BEN may be obtained from the Paying Agent.
Certain Holders (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign individuals) are exempt recipients not subject to backup withholding requirements. See the copy of the IRS SubstituteForm W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, and the Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on SubstituteForm W-9 enclosed with the Letter of Transmittal for additional information and instructions.
