This Statement amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2006 (as previously amended and supplemented, the "Schedule TO") relating to a tender offer by Dematal Corp, a Nova Scotia unlimited company (the "Offeror") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all the outstanding common shares, no par value, (the "Shares"), of AnorMED Inc., a Canadian corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $8.55 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase for Cash and Circular dated September 1, 2006 (as previously amended and supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase" and the "Circular," respectively, and together, the "Offer to Purchase and Circular") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" which, together with the Offer to Purchase and Circular, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer").
ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On October 10, 2006, the Offeror sent the Company a proposal indicating it was prepared to increase the Offer price per Share from $8.55 to $13.50. The Offeror's proposal is contingent upon the Company determining by 4:00 p.m. Vancouver time on October 11, 2006 that the Offeror's proposal constitutes a "Superior Proposal," as defined in the support agreement between the Company and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Should the Company make such a determination, the Offeror's proposal is contingent upon the Company executing a support agreement with the Offeror by 5:30 p.m. Boston time on October 17, 2006. If the Company executes a support agreement with the Offeror before the deadline, the Offeror would formally increase the Offer price to $13.50 and extend the Offer until 8:00 a.m. Vancouver time on November 1, 2006. A copy of the press release issued by the Parent announcing these developments is attached as Exhibit (a)(9) hereto and incorporated by reference. A copy of the Offeror's letter indicating its proposed increase in Offer price is attached as Exhibit (d)(2) hereto and incorporated by reference.
