ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by the following: On or about June 4, 2002, Cardinal received a copy of a putative class action complaint captioned Rodanthe Lengle v. Patrick G. LePore, et. al. This complaint, which Cardinal understands was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Passaic County, alleges, among other matters, that the Directors of BLP violated the terms of BLP's Certificate of Incorporation in connection with certain provisions in the Merger Agreement relating to the appointment of directors; breached their fiduciary duties by the failure to maximize shareholder value and by breaching their duty of due care and loyalty; and breached their duties to shareholders by failing to disclose certain information to shareholders in connection with the proposed tender offer. The plaintiff has brought suit on behalf of a purported class of the public shareholders of BLP and seeks, among other things, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to enjoin the closing of the Offer. The complaint also alleges that Cardinal aided and abetted a breach of fiduciary duty by the other defendants. BLP and Cardinal believe the allegations contained in the complaint are entirely without merit and intend to defend against the claims vigorously. A copy of the complaint has been filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 14D-9 filed by BLP on June 5, 2002 and is incorporated in the Schedule TO, as amended, by reference. The foregoing description of the complaint is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of that exhibit. ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.
