Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13.

 

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

1. The information set forth on page 3 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Summary Term Sheet—What is your position as to the fairness of the transaction?” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“We believe that the transaction is fair to FMI stockholders who are not affiliated with FMI, based upon the factors set forth under “Special Factors—Section 1— Position of Roche Regarding Fairness of the Transaction”

 

2. The information set forth in the first two sentences on page 12 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Special Factors—Section 1— Position of Roche Regarding Fairness of the Transaction” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“The rules of the SEC require us to express our belief to stockholders of FMI who are unaffiliated with FMI as to the fairness of the transaction. We believe that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger and the Offer Price to be received by stockholders of FMI who are unaffiliated with FMI pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, respectively, is fair to such stockholders.”

 

3.       The information set forth in the sentence following the bullet that reads, “The Offer provides FMI’s stockholders (other than Roche and its affiliates) with certainty of receiving cash for their Shares and removes the risk of any decrease in the value of FMI” on page 12 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Special Factors—Section 1— Position of Roche Regarding Fairness of the Transaction” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

5.       The information set forth in the subheading “Financial Interests.” on page 13 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Special Factors—Section 2— Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer and Merger” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“The financial interests of Roche with regard to the Offer Price are generally adverse to the financial interests of the stockholders being asked to tender their Shares because Roche has an interest in acquiring the Shares as inexpensively as possible and the stockholders being asked to tender their Shares have an interest in selling their Shares for the highest possible price.”

 

6.       The information set forth in the paragraph that reads “On April 2, 2018, Troy Cox, the President and Chief Executive Officer of FMI” under the subheading “Background of the Offer” on page 38 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “The Offer—Section 11—Background of the Offer; Contacts with FMI” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“Since its initial investment in FMI in 2015, Roche from time to time has considered the strategic relationship with FMI including whether an acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of FMI common stock makes strategic sense. Consistent with this periodic consideration, the board of directors of Roche (the “ Roche Board ”) discussed, at a high level and bearing in mind the existing contractual relationship, a potential acquisition of such shares at a board meeting on January 29, 2018.

 

On April 2, 2018, Troy Cox, the President and Chief Executive Officer of FMI, had a telephone call with Daniel O’Day, Chief Executive Officer of Roche Pharmaceuticals and one of the Roche-designated directors on the FMI Board, during which Mr. O’Day indicated that Roche Holdings had not made a decision as to whether to pursue a Buyout Offer following expiration of the Restricted Period. Mr. O’Day also noted that Roche Holdings had no interest in selling any shares of FMI common stock that it currently owned.

 

Following the January 29, 2018 meeting of the Roche Board, members of Roche management continued to discuss a potential acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of FMI common stock from time to time. Beginning on February 28, 2018, Roche began to consult with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“ Citi ”) regarding a potential transaction, and on June 18, 2018 executed an engagement letter with Citi.

 

On June 14, 2018, members of Roche management and Citi discussed possible prices for an offer to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of FMI common stock. Thereafter, also on June 14, 2018, the Roche Board authorized Roche management to deliver to FMI an offer for such shares. On June 15, 2018, following the close of the U.S. stock markets, members of Roche management again discussed possible prices and determined to deliver to FMI an offer for the remaining shares at a price of $133.00 per share.”

 

7.       The information set forth in the paragraph that reads “On June 17, 2018, in the morning, Goodwin Procter LLP” under the subheading “Background of the Offer” on page 38 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “The Offer—Section 11—Background of the Offer; Contacts with FMI” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“On June 17, 2018, in the morning, Goodwin Procter LLP (“ Goodwin ”) distributed a revised draft of the Merger Agreement to Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“ Davis Polk ”), counsel to Roche Holdings. Shortly thereafter, representatives from Roche Holdings’ financial advisor, Citi contacted representatives from Goldman Sachs and indicated that Roche Holdings would be discussing the Special Committee’s request for a price increase later in the morning.”

 

8.       The information set forth on page 58, in the first paragraph under the heading “The Offer—Section 17— Fees and Expenses” of the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“ Citigroup Global Markets ”) has provided certain financial advisory services to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, for which financial advisory services Citigroup Global Markets will receive reasonable and customary compensation. We have also agreed to reimburse Citigroup Global Markets for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify Citigroup Global Markets against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect the total fee payable to Citigroup Global Markets in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to equal $7.25 million. In the ordinary course of business, Citigroup Global Markets and their respective successors and affiliates may trade Shares for their own accounts and accounts of customers, and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in the Shares.”
