ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Item 8 of the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following new subsection before the final subsection entitled
Forward-Looking Statements
at the end of such Item 8:
Final Results of the Offer and Completion of the Merger.
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of July 30, 2018 (
i.e.
, one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
July 30, 2018). Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the
Depositary
), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which
notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration
of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of
the Offer. In addition, the Depositary has advised that Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with respect to approximately 1,342,573 Shares that have not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares.
Each condition to the Offer was satisfied or waived, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.
As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition, as
defined in the Offer to Purchase, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Promptly after the expiration of the Offer, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub acquired sufficient Shares
to complete the Merger without the affirmative vote of the Companys stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the effective time of the Merger (the
Effective Time
), each issued and outstanding Share
(other than (1) Shares owned at the commencement of the Offer and immediately prior to the Effective Time by Roche Holdings, Roche Holding Ltd or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Roche Holdings or Roche Holding Ltd, (2) Shares
owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and (3) Shares held by stockholders who are entitled to, and who have properly exercised their demands for appraisal of such
Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have neither withdrawn nor lost such rights prior to the Effective Time), will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $137.00 in cash, without interest and
subject to any withholding taxes.

Following consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the NASDAQ Stock
Market. Roche Holdings and Merger Sub intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of the Companys reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as
practicable.
On July 31, 2018, Roche Holdings issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press
release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
