The Offer is made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 12, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), among MDCO, Offeror and Targanta.

     “The initial offering period of the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Tuesday, February 24, 2009. According to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, as of such time, a total of approximately 20,577,989 Shares (excluding Shares tendered under guaranteed delivery procedures) had been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn, representing approximately 98% of all outstanding Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Offeror has accepted for payment all of such Shares. Payment for such Shares will be made promptly in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

     On February 25, 2009, MDCO issued a press release announcing the completion of the initial offering period of the Offer.

     Offeror expects to acquire any remaining outstanding Shares by means of a Merger of Offeror with and into Targanta, as a result of which Targanta will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MDCO. Pursuant to the Merger, each remaining outstanding Share (other than (1) any Shares held by Targanta as treasury stock or owned by MDCO, Offeror or any subsidiary of Targanta, MDCO or Offeror and (2) any Shares held by a holder who has not voted in favor of or consented to the Merger and who has properly demanded and perfected his, her or its right to be paid the fair value of such Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. MDCO expects to complete the Merger as soon as practicable pursuant to the short-form merger procedure available under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     The full text of the press release issued by MDCO is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(L) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
