YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEAR A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IF CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) IS NOT APPROVED FOR SALE OF IF SCHERING AG DOES NOT SUCCESSFULLY MARKET CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) ON OUR BEHALF, OUR ANTICIPATED FUTURE REVENUE TARGETS WILL NOT BE ACHIEVED. We have only one product in the process of being reviewed by the FDA for approval, our CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) monoclonal antibody, and that review is in the early stages. There can be no assurance that the FDA or any foreign governmental agency will approve CAMPATH(Registered Trademark) for commercial sale on a timely basis or at all. The failure of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) to be approved by FDA and foreign governmental agencies on a timely basis would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have no experience with commercial sales and marketing. We will rely solely upon Schering AG and its U.S. affiliate, Berlex Laboratories, for the marketing, distribution and sale of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the United States and Europe. We have no plans to directly market CAMPATH (Registered Trademark). Our right to share in the profits for U.S. sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or to receive a royalty on sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) outside the U.S. is dependent upon the marketing and sales activities of Schering and Berlex. We can make no assurances that there will be any profits on sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the U.S. In the event that there are losses resulting from the marketing of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the U.S., LeukoSite will bear one-third of those losses. Our only source of revenues from product sales, if any, for the next several years is likely to be from sales of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark); however, we cannot be certain that CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) will be approved for commercial sale or accepted in the United States or in any foreign markets. A number of factors may affect the rate and level of market acceptance of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), including: -the perception by physicians and other members of the health care community of its safety and efficacy or that of competing products, if any; -the effectiveness of Berlex's sales and marketing efforts in the United States and the effectiveness of Schering's sales and marketing efforts in Europe; -the marketing and continued development of competing drugs; 4 -unfavorable publicity concerning CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or comparable drugs; -its price relative to other drugs or competing treatments; -the availability of third party reimbursement; and -regulatory developments related to the manufacture or continued use of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark). WE RELY ON BOEHRINGER INGLEHEIM AS OUR SOLE SOURCE MANUFACTURER OF CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) AND OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES IN THE FUTURE WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES OF CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) FROM THEM. We have an agreement with Boehringer Ingleheim for the production of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) for our clinical trials and for any commercial sales. If Boehringer Ingleheim were not able to produce sufficient quantities of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or if we were required to transfer manufacturing processes of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) to other third-party manufacturers, then we could experience significant delays in supply. We have no experience in manufacturing and we lack the facilities and personnel to manufacture CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) and to produce an adequate supply to meet future requirements. The loss of Boehringer Ingleheim as our contract manufacturer for CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or its inability to meet our requirements of supply of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. OUR DRUG CANDIDATES MAY NOT PROVE TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS. We are currently testing three monoclonal antibodies and three small molecule products in human clinical trials. Clinical trials of drug candidates involve the testing of potential therapeutic agents in humans to determine whether the drug candidates are safe and effective and, if so, to what degree. Many drugs in human clinical trials fail to demonstrate the desired safety and efficacy characteristics. Drugs in later stages of clinical development may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through initial human testing. The clinical trials of any of our drug candidates may not be successful which may prevent us from commercializing the drug, substantially impairing our business, financial condition and results of operations. 5 OUR DRUG CANDIDATES ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND PRODUCT APPROVALS. Our products currently under development are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA, and by state and local governments. If we market these products abroad, foreign governments may also impose export/import requirements and other restrictive regulations. We must complete all appropriate regulatory clearance processes before commercializing a product, which is lengthy and expensive. We cannot be sure that we can obtain necessary regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all, for any of the products we are currently developing, and all of the following could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations -- significant delays in obtaining or failing to obtain required approvals -- loss of previously obtained approvals -- failing to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements Complying with FDA regulatory requirements applicable to product development and obtaining FDA approval can take a number of years, involves the expenditure of substantial resources and is uncertain. Many products that initially appear promising ultimately do not reach the market because they are found to be unsafe or ineffective or cannot meet the FDA's other regulatory requirements. Moreover, it is possible that the current regulatory framework could change or additional regulations could arise at any stage during our product development, which may affect our ability to obtain approval as anticipated, delay the submission or review of an application, or require additional expenditures by LeukoSite. All of LeukoSite's product candidates will require FDA and foreign government approvals for commercialization, none of which have been obtained. LeukoSite and ILEX Oncology, our joint venture partner for the development of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), are required to file a Biologics Licensing Application with the FDA before beginning commercialization of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) in the United States and must also file for marketing approval from other jurisdictions. We are not certain when, independently or with our collaborative partners, we will submit any marketing applications for our other monoclonal antibodies or small molecule antagonists under development. We cannot guarantee that any studies will demonstrate that the products are safe and effective for their intended uses, or that the FDA will grant required approval on a timely basis, or at all, for CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) or other product for any studied indications. Government regulations may cause delays in LeukoSite's marketing of products for a considerable or indefinite time, which could impose costly procedural requirements upon LeukoSite's activities. While we attempt to comply with such applicable government regulations, larger companies or companies more experienced in regulatory 6 affairs may obtain a competitive advantage over us. Delays in obtaining governmental regulatory approval could adversely affect our marketing strategy as well as our ability to generate revenue from commercial sales. Our inability to obtain marketing approval of our products on a timely basis, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Many of LeukoSite's research and development programs are at an early stage of development. The FDA has not approved any of our product candidates. We have limited experience in conducting preclinical and clinical trials. Furthermore, even if we receive initially positive preclinical trial results, such results do not mean that similar results will be obtained in the later stages of drug development, such as additional preclinical trials or human clinical testing. All of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in pharmaceutical product development, including the possibility that none of our drug candidates will or can --be safe and effective --otherwise meet applicable regulatory standards --receive the necessary regulatory marketing approvals --develop into commercially viable drugs --be manufactured or produced economically and on a large scale --be successfully marketed --be reimbursed by government or private consumers --achieve customer acceptance In addition, third parties may preclude us from marketing our drugs through enforcement of their proprietary rights. Or, third parties may succeed in marketing equivalent or superior drug products. Our failure to develop safe, commercially viable drugs would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. IF OUR COLLARATIVE PARTNERS DO NOT ACTIVELY SEEK TO COMMERCIALIZE DRUG CANDIDATES RESULTING FROM THEIR COLLABORATION WITH US, OUR REVENUES WILL SUFFER. A key element of LeukoSite's strategy is to accelerate certain of its drug discovery and development programs and to fund its capital requirements, in part, through collaboration agreements with major pharmaceutical companies. We currently have 7 collaboration agreements with Warner-Lambert Company, Roche Bioscience, Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. and Genentech, Inc., Schering AG, and Hoechst Marion Roussel. Warner-Lambert, Roche, Kyowa and Hoechst Marion Roussel have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct preclinical and clinical trials of the compounds developed during their collaboration with us and to commercialize any drug candidates resulting from their collaboration with us. Genentech has the right, but not the obligation, to conduct Phase III clinical trials of and to commercialize our LDP-02 monoclonal antibody product. Thus, the collaboration agreements allow our collaborative partners significant discretion in electing whether to pursue the development of any potential drug candidates. As a result, we cannot control the amount and timing of the resources dedicated by our collaborative partners to their respective collaborations with us. This also means that LeukoSite's right to receive revenues under the collaboration agreements for drug development milestones or royalties, co-promotion rights or profit-sharing on sales is dependent largely upon the activities and the development, manufacturing and marketing resources and abilities of its collaborative partners. As such, --our partners may not pursue the development and commercialization of compounds resulting from their collaboration with us --any development or commercialization may not be successful even if our partners pursued such efforts --we may not derive substantial or any royalty or product sales revenue from our collaborations Moreover, certain drug candidates discovered by LeukoSite may be competitive with our partners' drugs or drug candidates. Accordingly, it is possible that our collaborative partners will choose not to proceed with the development of our drug candidates or that they will pursue their existing or alternative technologies in preference to our drug candidates. We advise you that --our interests may not always coincide with those of our collaborative partners --some of our collaborative partners could independently develop or develop with third parties drugs which compete with ours --disagreements with our partners over rights to technology or other proprietary interests might occur, leading to delays in research or in the development and commercialization of certain product candidates (such disputes could also require or result in litigation or arbitration, which is time-consuming and expensive) 8 IF OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS TERMINATE OUR AGREEMENTS WITH THEM, OUR ABILITY TO FUND OUR RESEARCH OPERATIONS AND CLINICAL TRIALS WILL SUFFER. LeukoSite relies on its collaborative partners to fund a substantial portion of its research operations and clinical trials. Although each of the collaboration agreements may be extended past its current term, we cannot be sure that these contracts will be extended or renewed, or that any renewal, if made, will be on terms favorable to us. In short, we cannot guarantee that any of the collaboration agreements will remain in effect for its expected term. If any of the collaborative partners terminates or breaches its agreement with LeukoSite, or fails to conduct its collaborative activities in a timely manner, then the development or commercialization of any drug candidate or research program with such partner could be delayed or terminated. Alternatively, we may have to devote unexpected and unbudgeted additional resources to such development or commercialization, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. OUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES MAY CAUSE US TO CONTINUE TO INCUR FUTURE LOSSES. LeukoSite has incurred a net operating loss every year since it was incorporated in May 1992, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.8 million through September 30, 1999. LeukoSite expects to incur significant additional operating losses over the next several years and expects cumulative losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and development efforts, preclinical and clinical trials and commercialization expenses. In 2000, we expect that our only revenues will come primarily from milestone payments and any other amounts received under existing and future collaboration agreements, if any. It is possible that we may not be able to -successfully commercialize any of our products -establish any additional collaborative relationships on terms acceptable to us -maintain the current collaboration agreements in effect -achieve the milestones that are required for us to receive funds from our current collaborative partners LeukoSite's ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability is dependent in part on its and its collaborative partners' ability to complete the development of drug candidates successfully, to obtain regulatory approvals for drug candidates and to manufacture and commercialize any resulting drugs. We cannot provide assurance that we will successfully identify, develop, commercialize, manufacture and market any products, obtain required regulatory approvals or achieve profitability. 9 WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FUTURE FUNDING. LeukoSite will require substantial additional funds in order to finance its drug discovery and development programs, fund operating expenses, pursue regulatory clearances, and prosecute and defend its intellectual property rights. We depend heavily upon our collaborative partners for research and clinical trials funding and we cannot be sure that revenues from product sales or our existing collaboration agreements will provide the necessary funding to meet our operating expenses. In the event that the merger of LeukoSite and Millennium is not consummated, LeukoSite will have to seek additional funding through public or private financing or collaboration or other arrangements with collaborative partners. The raising of additional funds through the issuance of equity securities may result in further dilution to our existing stockholders. We cannot be sure that additional financing will be available, in the first instance, from any sources or, even if available, that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL OBTAIN SUFFICIENT PATENT PROTECTION, OR THAT ANY SUCH PATENTS SO OBTAINED WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PROTECTION AGAINST COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS OR PROCESSES. LeukoSite's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain United States and foreign patent protection for its drug candidates and processes, preserve its trade secrets, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. We place considerable importance on obtaining patent protection for significant new technologies, products and processes. Legal standards relating to the validity of patents covering pharmaceutical and biotechnological inventions, and the scope of claims made under such patents, are still developing. Our patent position is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. We cannot be certain that the named applicants or inventors of the subject matter covered by our patent applications or patents (whether directly owned by us or licensed to us) were the first to invent or the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Third parties may challenge, infringe upon, circumvent or seek to invalidate existing or future patents owned by or licensed to us. A court or other agency with jurisdiction may find our patents unenforceable. Even if we have valid patents, these patents still may not provide sufficient protection against competitive products or other commercially valuable products or processes. If a third party claims the same or overlapping subject matter as we have claimed in a United States patent application or patent, then we may decide or be required to participate in interference proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) in order to determine who invented the subject matter first. If we lost such an interference proceeding, then we would be deprived of the patent protection we previously sought or obtained. Indeed, regardless of whether we win or lose in such proceedings, we would still incur substantial costs. 10 In addition to patent protection, LeukoSite relies on trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and confidentiality provisions in agreements with our collaborative partners, employees and consultants to protect our intellectual property. We also rely on invention assignment provisions in agreements with employees and certain consultants. It is possible that these agreements could be breached or that we might not have adequate remedies for any such breaches. Third parties may learn of or independently discover our trade secrets, proprietary know-how and intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. LeukoSite's product candidates LDP-01, LDP-02 and CAMPATH (Registered Trademark) are humanized monoclonal antibodies. We are aware that both the PTO and certain foreign governments have issued patents to third parties which relate to certain humanized antibodies, products useful for making humanized antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized antibodies. We may choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under certain of these patents. We are also aware of third party applications in the United States and abroad relating to certain humanized monoclonal antibodies, products useful for making humanized antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized antibodies. LeukoSite may choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under some or all of the patents which might issue from these patent applications. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT AND WIDESPREAD LITIGATION IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY REGARDING PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE BECOME INVOLVED IN SUCH LITIGATION. There is significant and widespread litigation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry regarding patents and proprietary rights. LeukoSite may need to assert claims of infringement, enforce its patents, protect trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights, or determine the scope or validity of proprietary rights of third parties. Conversely, we may need to defend against claims of infringement by third parties. We cannot guarantee that any of our patents will ultimately be held valid or that our efforts to assert or defend any patents, trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights would be successful. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that our products or processes will not be held to infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Uncertainties emanating from the initiation and continuation of any patent or related litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The expenses of intellectual property litigation or other similar proceedings would be likely to be substantial, and could have a material adverse effect on LeukoSite's business, financial condition and results of operations. An adverse outcome in such litigation or proceeding could subject LeukoSite to significant liabilities or require LeukoSite to cease certain activities. If any of our present or future products or processes 11 is alleged or determined to infringe upon the patents or impermissibly use the intellectual property of others, we may choose or be required to obtain licenses from third parties under their patents or proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain those licenses on acceptable terms, if at all. In such event, we would be severely restricted or prohibited from the development, manufacture and sale of our drug candidates. IF OUR COMPETITIORS SUCCEED IN DEVELOPING OR LICENSING TECHNOLOGIES OR FUTURE DRUG PRODUCTS, OUR TECHNOLOGY AND FUTURE DRUG PRODUCTS COULD BECOME OBSOLETE AND NONCOMPETITIVE. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive. LeukoSite has many competitors both in the United States and abroad, including major, multinational pharmaceutical and chemical companies, specialized biotechnology firms and universities and other research institutions. Many of our competitors have greater financial and other resources, such as larger research and development staffs and more effective marketing and manufacturing organizations. Our competitors may succeed in developing or licensing on an exclusive basis technologies and drugs that are more effective or less costly than any which we are currently developing, which could render our technology and future drug products obsolete and noncompetitive. It is possible for our competitors to obtain FDA or other regulatory approvals for drug candidates before we can. In general, companies that begin commercial sale of their drugs before their competitors have a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, including the ability to obtain certain patent and FDA marketing exclusivity rights that would delay our ability to market certain products. Even if our drugs or drug products are approved for sale, we cannot assure our ability to compete successfully with competitors' existing products or products under development. WE RELY ON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS AND LACK MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE OURSELVES. In addition to relying on Boehringer Ingleheim as the sole manufacturer of CAMPATH (Registered Trademark), LeukoSite depends on third parties to manufacture its product candidates and is aware of only a limited number of manufacturers which it believes has the ability and capability to manufacture its drug candidates for preclinical and clinical trials. If we were required to transfer manufacturing processes to other third-party manufacturers, then we could experience significant delays in supply. If, at any time, we are unable to maintain, develop or contract for manufacturing capabilities on acceptable terms, then our ability to conduct preclinical and clinical trials with our drug candidates will be adversely affected, resulting in delays in the submission of drug candidates for regulatory approvals. We have no experience in manufacturing and we currently lack the facilities and personnel to manufacture products in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices as prescribed by the FDA or to produce an adequate supply of compounds to meet future requirements for preclinical and clinical trials. 12 RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE COULD RENDER PRODUCTS OBSOLETE. Biotechnology and related pharmaceutical technology have undergone and are subject to rapid and significant change. LeukoSite expects that the technologies associated with biotechnology research and development will continue along this rapid path. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position in the rapidly changing environment. Because of the rapid changes in technology, our compounds, products or processes may become obsolete before we can recover the expenses incurred in developing such compounds, products or processes. We cannot assure that we can maintain our technological competitiveness. WE DEPEND ON KEY PERSONNEL. We believe that our ability to successfully implement our business strategy is highly dependent on our management and scientific team. None of our executive officers has employment agreements with us. Losing the services of one or more of these individuals might hinder our ability to achieve our development objectives. We are highly dependent on our ability to hire and retain qualified scientific and technical personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. We cannot be sure that we can continue to hire and retain the qualified personnel needed for our business. Loss of the services of or the failure to recruit key scientific and technical personnel could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. WE HAVE NOT DECLARED ANY DIVIDENDS. We have never declared or paid cash dividends. We do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. LEUKOSITE LeukoSite is a biotechnology company developing proprietary monoclonal antibody and small molecule drugs to treat patients with cancer and inflammatory, autoimmune and viral diseases. The mailing address and telephone number of our principal executive office is 215 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02142 and (617) 621-9350. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On October 14, 1999 LeukoSite signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and ANM, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Millennium. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, ANM, Inc. will merger with and into LeukoSite, whereby LeukoSite will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Millennium (the "Merger"). Each LeukoSite stockholder will receive for each share of Leukosite stock 0.4296 of Millennium Common Stock, par value $.001 per share. The Merger Agreement and Merger are subject to, among other things, LeukoSite stockholder approval. 13 On July 20, 1999 LeukoSite raised approximately $14.4 million in a private placement of its common stock with two institutional investors, HealthCare Ventures V, L.P. and Perseus Capital, LLC, at a price per share of $9.70, for an aggregate of 1,487,548 shares of common stock. On July 19, 1999 LeukoSite acquired by merger all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ProScript, Inc. and, in connection therewith, issued an aggregate of 187,970 shares of common stock and paid initially $411,719 in cash. On July 1, 1998 LeukoSite raised approximately $11.8 million in a private placement of common stock. LeukoSite issued approximately 1,970,000 shares of Common Stock. On February 11, 1999 LeukoSite acquired by merger all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CytoMed, Inc. through the issuance initially of 935,625 shares of LeukoSite's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which automatically converted into 935,625 shares of common stock as of May 25, 1999. An additional 631,295 shares of common stock were issued on November 30, 1999. These shares were issued to former CytoMed shareholders as additional merger consideration when a milestone payment was received by LeukoSite. USE OF PROCEEDS LeukoSite will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders hereunder. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The Selling Stockholders covered by this prospectus are persons who received LeukoSite common stock in connection with (one or more of the following) (1) the private placement of LeukoSite's common stock which occurred on July 1, 1998, (2) the acquisition (by merger) by LeukoSite of CytoMed, Inc., (3) the acquisition (by merger) by LeukoSite of ProScript, Inc., and/or (4) the private placement of LeukoSite's common stock which occurred on July 20, 1999 and also includes persons who were entitled to have shares registered pursuant to piggyback registration rights previously granted by LeukoSite to such persons. 1998 Private Placement. Under a Registration Rights Agreement dated July 1, 1998 among LeukoSite and certain selling stockholders, we agreed to register the LeukoSite common stock sold to those selling stockholders in the private placement and to use our best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years, or until all of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever comes first. 14 CytoMed Merger. Under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated January 4, 1999 among LeukoSite, LeukoSite Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LeukoSite, and CytoMed, Inc., we agreed to register the LeukoSite common stock to be issued as consideration for the merger of CytoMed with and into LeukoSite Merger Corporation for the accounts of the former shareholders of CytoMed. We also agreed to use our best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years, or until all of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever comes first. ProScript Merger. Under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated June 22, 1999 among LeukoSite, ProScript Acquisition Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LeukoSite, ProScript, Inc., HealthCare Ventures III, L.P. and HealthCare Ventures IV, L.P., the shares of LeukoSite common stock issued in connection therewith were required to be registered upon written notice to LeukoSite or as a piggyback on any other registration statement being filed by the Company. 1999 Private Placement. Under two separate Registration Rights Agreements each dated July 20, 1999 between LeukoSite and each of Perseus Capital LLC and HealthCare Ventures V, L.P., we agreed to register the LeukoSite common stock issued in connection with the private placement and to use our best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years, or until all of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever comes first. Our registration of the shares of common stock hereunder does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the shares. The following tables set forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock as of November 3, 1999, by each of the selling stockholders. The estimated information provided in the tables below with respect to each selling stockholder, however, has not been obtained recently from all such selling stockholders and is based only on estimations by the Company to the best of its knowledge. Except as otherwise disclosed below, none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with the Company. Because the selling stockholders may sell all or some portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming each selling stockholder sells all of its shares offered hereby) can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders after this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they last provided the information regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Selling stockholders have not provided updated information to us regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. 15 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS SHARES BENEFICIALLY OWNED AFTER OFFERING ------------------------- SHARES BENEFICIALLY NUMBER OF SHARES NAME AND ADDRESS OWNED PRIOR TO BEING OFFERED OF BENEFICIAL OWNER OFFERING (1) NUMBER PERCENTAGE - -------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- ------ --------------- Abrams, Larry 1,320 1,320 0 * 24 Central Park South New York, NY 10019 Atlas Venture Fund II, L.P. 74,615 74,615 0 * 222 Berkeley Street Boston, MA 02116 Attn: Jean-Francois Formela Atlas Venture Europe Fund B.V. 60,131 60,131 0 * P.

Alternatively, the selling stockholders may from time to time offer shares of common stock to or through broker/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders and any broker/dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock and any compensation received by any underwriter, broker/dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may not sell all of the shares. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by other means not described in this prospectus. To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions the common stock must be offered or sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in a distribution of the common stock offered hereby may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock for a specified period prior to the start of the distribution. In addition, each selling stockholder and any other person participating in a distribution will be subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by the selling stockholders or any such other person. These factors may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of brokers or dealers to engage in market-making activities. 23 All expenses of this registration will be paid by LeukoSite.
