The following information amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on
January 2, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D").
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This statement relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at
6455 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, California 92121.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
(a) - (c), and (f) The person filing this statement is Abbott
Laboratories ("Abbott"), an Illinois corporation. Abbott's principal business
is the discovery, development, manufacture, and sale of a broad and diversified
line of health care products and services. Abbott's principal office is located
at 100 Abbott Park Road, Abbott Park, Illinois 60064-3500.
The names, citizenship, business addresses, present principal
occupation or employment and the name, and the principal business and address of
any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted of
the directors and executive officers of Abbott are as set forth in Exhibit 1
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
(d) and (e) Neither Abbott, nor to the best of its knowledge, any
person listed on Exhibit 1 has during the last five years (i) been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The consideration used by Abbott for the acquisition reported in
this First Amendment to Schedule 13D came from the working capital of Abbott.
The purchase price for the 831,152 shares of Common Stock acquired by Abbott
since the date on which the Schedule 13D was filed, as described in Item 4,
was four million dollars ($4,000,000). The aggregate purchase price for the
1,831,202 shares of Common Stock owned by Abbott was eight million dollars
($8,000,000) all of which came from the working capital of Abbott.
K. Frank Austen, M.D., a director of Abbott, has advised Abbott that
he is the beneficial owner of 2,500 shares of Common Stock, that he holds
options to purchase an additional 36,300 shares of Common Stock (of which,
options covering 3,300 shares of Common Stock are currently exercisable) and
that he used his personal assets to acquire his shares of Common Stock. Dr.
Austen acquired these securities independently of Abbott's acquisitions.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE ACQUISITION
On September 9, 1997, as the result of the exercise by the Issuer of
its Additional Investment Right (described below), Abbott purchased 831,152
shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock. Abbott acquired the Shares as an
investment and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement between
Abbott Laboratories and La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company dated December 23,
1996 (the "Agreement") (a copy of which is attached to the Schedule 13D as
Exhibit 2). Dr. Austen has advised Abbott that he acquired his shares of
Common Stock as an investment.
(a) Under Section 2(b) of the Agreement, the Issuer has the right
(the "Additional Investment Right") to require Abbott to purchase additional
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock ("Additional Shares"). The Additional
Investment Right is described in greater detail in Item 6 to the Schedule 13D.
(b) - (j) At present, Abbott does not have (and has been advised by
Dr. Austen that he does not have) any plans or proposals which would relate
to or result in transactions of the kind described in paragraphs (b) through
(j) of Item 4 of schedule 13D of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
They do, however, reserve the right to adopt such plans or proposals subject
to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and, with respect to
Abbott, its obligations under the Agreement.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) Abbott is the beneficial owner of 1,831,202 shares of the
Common Stock representing approximately ten and 57/100 percent (10.57%) of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
Dr. Austen is the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock and
options described in Item 3. His shares represent less than one percent of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
The calculation of the foregoing percentages is based on the number
of shares of Common Stock shown as being outstanding on the Form 10-Q
Quarterly Report filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
(b) Abbott has sole power to vote or to direct the vote and the sole
power to dispose or to direct the disposition of its 1,831,202 shares of
Common Stock. Section 5(b) of the Agreement does, however, limit the ability
of Abbott to sell or transfer any Shares except as allowed by the Agreement.
K. Frank Austen, M.D., a director of Abbott Laboratories, has
advised Abbott that he is the beneficial owner of 2,500 shares of Common
Stock and holds options to purchase an additional 36,300 shares of Common
Stock (of which, options covering 3,300 shares of Common Stock are currently
exercisable) and that he has sole power to vote or to direct the vote and the
sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of his shares of Common
Stock.
(c) Except as described herein, there have been no transactions by
Abbott or the persons whose names are listed on Exhibit 1 in securities of the
Issuer during the past sixty days.
(d) No one other than Abbott is known to have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from a
sale of the shares of Common Stock owned by Abbott.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
There are no contracts, arrangements understandings or relationships
among the persons named in Item 2 or between either of those persons and any
other person with respect to securities of the Issuer, except as referred to
or described herein or in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
