date of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offer
set forth in Section 15Conditions of the Offer. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and

not been satisfied or waived. If we
decide to provide a Subsequent Offering Period (or are required to do so upon
Sepracors request), we will immediately accept and promptly pay for Shares as

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Item 11 of the Schedule TO
is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The disclosure under the heading entitled Legal
Proceedings in Section 16 Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals
of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
On September 8, 9, 10,
11 and 18, 2009, several purported class action lawsuits were filed variously
against Sepracor, the Sepracor Board, DSP and Offeror. Four actions have been
filed in the Delaware Chancery Court, captioned
Stationary
Engineers Local 39 Pension Fund Trust Fund v. Sepracor Inc. et al
.,
No. 4871 (Del. Ch. filed September 8, 2009);
Salvatore Toronto v. Adrian Adams et al
., No. 4872
(Del. Ch. filed September 8, 2009);
Max Katz v. Sepracor Inc.
et al.
, No. 4883 (Del. Ch. filed September 10, 2009); and
Laborers District Council
and
Contractors
Pension Fund of Ohio v. Sepracor Inc.
, C.A. No. 4892-VCS (Del.
Ch. filed Sept. 11, 2009). The Delaware
Chancery Court actions have been consolidated.
Two actions have been filed in Massachusetts Superior Court, captioned
Dennis Giaquinto v. Sepracor Inc. et al.
, C.A. No. 09-3883
(the
Giaquinto Action
) (filed September 9,
2009), and
Stacey L. Sell v. Adrian Adams et al.
,
C.A. No. 09-3995 (filed September 18, 2009). The plaintiffs in the Delaware Chancery Court
and Massachusetts Superior Court actions purport to sue on behalf of a class of
stockholders of Sepracor, and allege that the members of the Sepracor Board
breached their fiduciary duties to Sepracors stockholders by, among other
things, failing to maximize shareholder value in connection with the potential
sale of Sepracor and failing to disclose material information to stockholders
in connection with the Offer, and that Sepracor, DSP and Offeror aided and
abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The relief sought in these actions is, among
other things, an injunction against the Offer and rescission of the Offer and
Merger to the extent the Offer has been implemented. Another action purporting to be brought on
behalf of a class of stockholders of Sepracor, captioned
James A
Welch Revoc Trust v. Adams et al.
, No. 1:09-cv-11562 (filed September 18,
2009), has been filed in Massachusetts Federal District Court alleging that
Sepracor and the Sepracor Board violated the Exchange Act by omitting and
misrepresenting facts in a proxy statement.
The Massachusetts federal action requests, among other things, an
injunction until the statements in the alleged proxy statement are corrected. DSP and Offeror have not been named as
defendants in the Massachusetts federal action.
On September 18, 2009,
plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware Chancery Court action filed a motion
for a preliminary injunction and a motion for expedited proceedings. The parties are currently engaged in
discovery. The Delaware Chancery Court
held a hearing on September 23, 2009 and has scheduled a hearing on the
motion for preliminary injunction for October 12, 2009. Also on September 18, 2009, plaintiffs
in the Giaquinto Action pending in Massachusetts Superior Court filed a motion
for preliminary injunction and a motion for expedited proceedings. A hearing has been scheduled for September 25,
2009 on the motion for expedited proceedings.
On September 22, 2009, Sepracor and the Sepracor Board filed a
motion to stay the Giaquinto Action in favor of the consolidated Delaware
Chancery Court action.
In addition, Item 11 of the
Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text
thereto:
At 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, the waiting period applicable to
the Offer and the Merger under the HSR Act expired. Accordingly, the condition
of the Offer relating to the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting
period has been satisfied.
