Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Schedule 14D-1. ITEM 5. PURPOSE OF THE TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE BIDDER. On May 2, 1996, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Richard C.E. Morgan, John F. Gaither, Jr., Raymond D. Oddi, Kenneth E. Quickel, Jr., M.D., Peter R. Rosenblatt and James R. Tobin each resigned as directors of the Company and Gary P. Coughlan, Miles D. White and Jose M. de Lasa, designees of Parent, were elected as directors of the Company. ITEM 6. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY. Purchaser has been informed that, notwithstanding an earlier report from the Depositary, a total of 19,861,187 Shares in fact were validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the expiration of the Offer, including 2,217,972 Shares which were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. As a result, Parent and Purchaser beneficially own 98.37% of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis. Due to the reliance by the Purchaser on the Depositary's earlier report, the Purchaser previously reported that fewer Shares had been tendered in response to the Offer. 3 SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
