Date Filed: February 15, 2005

This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on February 16, 2005, by Amendment No. 2 on February 22, 2005 and by Amendment No. 3 on March 9, 2005 (the "Schedule 13E-3"), relating to the tender offer by DH Subsidiary Inc. ("Acquisition Sub"), a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Danisco A/S, a Danish corporation ("Danisco"), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Genencor common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") not owned by Danisco and its subsidiaries, for a purchase price of $19.25 per Share, net to each selling stockholder in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Danisco's Offer to Purchase dated February 15, 2005, as amended by supplement (the "Supplement") dated March 9, 2005 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" which together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer"). Copies of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the Supplement have been filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(xiv), respectively, to the Schedule TO (as defined below). Danisco, Acquisition Sub, Danisco Holding USA Inc. and A/S PSE 38 nr. 2024 filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relating to the Offer on February 15, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on March 9, 2005 and by Amendment No. 2 on March 17, 2005 (the "Schedule TO").

The following is added as the last paragraph in Items 1, 4 and 15 of the Schedule 13E-3:

On March 17, 2005, Acquisition Sub announced that it has extended the expiration date of the Offer to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Wednesday, March 23, 2005. Danisco has extended the expiration date of the Offer to provide competition regulators in Germany additional time to review certain transactions disclosed in the Offer to Purchase. As a consequence of the extension of the expiration date, holders of Shares may tender or withdraw Shares until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 23, 2005, unless the Offer is further extended. Danisco has been advised by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Depositary for the Offer, that as of the close of business on March 16, 2005, approximately 8,354,148 Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and notices of guaranteed delivery had been submitted for an additional 532,148 Shares. Excluding Shares held by Danisco and its affiliates, Shares held by Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman") and its affiliates, and Shares held by officers and directors of Genencor and their respective affiliates, the tendered Shares and noticed Shares represent approximately 87.7% of the outstanding Shares. Together with the Shares that Danisco already owns and the Shares that Danisco will acquire from Eastman under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 27, 2005, among Danisco, Aquisition Sub, Eastman and Eastman Chemical Company Investments, Inc., the tendered Shares and noticed Shares represent approximately 97.9% of the total outstanding Shares.
