On
January 11, 2009, Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (the
“Registrant” or “Charles River”) issued a press release which announced that it
had decided to suspend operations at its Preclinical Services facility in
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts (PCS Massachusetts) by the middle of
2010. In addition, the Registrant will be presenting at the
J.P. Morgan 28th Annual
Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday, January
13th, at
10:00 a.m. PT (1:00 p.m. ET). Management of the Registrant intends to
present an overview of the Registrant’s strategic focus and business
developments. Included in this overview will be information related
to the suspension of operations at PCS Massachusetts. In advance of
the presentation, the Registrant has posted the accompanying slide presentation
on the Investor Relations section of the Registrant’s website at http://ir.criver.com. In
addition, a copy of the slide presentation is incorporated herein by reference
and filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The slide
presentation, attached as an exhibit to this report, includes "safe harbor"
language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
amended, indicating that certain statements contained in the slide presentation
are "forward-looking" rather than historic. The slide presentation also states that
these and other risks relating to Charles River are set forth in the documents
filed by Charles River with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
