(1) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, which were directly owned by Hexal AG ("Hexal"). The reporting person was an indirect significant stockholder, an executive officer and a director of Hexal. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person was the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. The shares were acquired by the purchaser through the acquisition of Hexal and no separate purchase price was assigned to the shares.
(2) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, all of which were directly owned by Santo Holding (Deutschland) GmbH ("Santo"). The reporting person is an indirect significant stockholder and an executive officer of Santo. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. The purchase price was paid to Santo in euros and equaled 1.3 billion, plus interest from the beginning of year to the closing of the purchase. Based on the dollar-to-euro exchange rate and the interest rate provided for in the agreement, both as of the close of business on February 18, 2005 (the last business day prior to the date on which the agreement was signed), including accrued interest through the date on which the agreement was signed, the purchase price represented approximately $28.45 per share as of such date.
