This Statement amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2006 (as previously amended and supplemented, the "Schedule TO") relating to a tender offer by Dematal Corp, a Nova Scotia unlimited company (the "Offeror") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the "Parent"), to purchase all the outstanding common shares, no par value, (the "Shares"), of AnorMED Inc., a Canadian corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $13.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase for Cash and Circular dated September 1, 2006 (as amended and supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase" and the "Circular," respectively, and together, the "Offer to Purchase and Circular"), the Notice of Variation and Extension, dated October 10, 2006 (the "First Notice"), the Notice of Variation and Extension, dated October 17, 2006 (the "Second Notice"), the Notice of Extension, dated October 27, 2006 and filed herewith (the "Third Notice"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" which, together with the Offer to Purchase and Circular, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, and the First, Second and Third Notice, constitute the "Offer").
ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On October 20, 2006, the Parent filed a Notification and Report Form with respect to the Offer with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") and the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") pursuant to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). Unless the Antitrust Division or the FTC requests additional information or documentary material from the Parent or determines that the Notification and Report Form was not complete, or unless early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act is granted, the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. on November 6, 2006. As a result, on October 27, 2006, the Offeror extended the Offer until 8:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on November 7, 2006, unless further extended. The full text of the press release issued by the Parent on October 27, 2006 announcing the extension of the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(13) hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. The depositary for the Offer has advised the Parent and the Offeror that, as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2006, approximately 52,468 Shares had been tendered and not withdrawn from the Offer.
