Additional Information and Where You Can Find It

 

The Company and certain of its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of consent revocations from stockholders in connection with a consent solicitation by MSMB Capital Management LLC to repeal all changes to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) made since July 1, 2011, remove six members of the Board of Directors of the Company, amend the Bylaws so that any vacancies of the Board are filled only by the Company’s stockholders, and to elect five members to the Company’s Board (the “Consent Solicitation”). The Company expects to file a preliminary consent revocation statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the solicitation of written consents in connection with the Consent Solicitation (the “Consent Revocation Statement”). Information regarding the names of the Company’s directors and executive officers and their respective interests in the Company by security holdings or otherwise is set forth in the Company’s AMAG’s annual proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 18, 2011.

Additional information regarding the interests of potential participants will be included in the Consent Revocation Statement and other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Consent Solicitation.

 

Promptly after filing its definitive Consent Revocation Statement with the SEC, the Company will mail the definitive Consent Revocation Statement and a form of consent revocation to each stockholder entitled to deliver a written consent in connection with the Consent Solicitation. WE URGE INVESTORS TO READ THE CONSENT REVOCATION STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Stockholders will be able to obtain, free of charge, copies of the Consent Revocation Statement and any other documents filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Consent Solicitation at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by going to AMAG’s Investors page on its corporate website at http://www.amagpharma.com.

the transaction may not be consummated. In any forward-looking statement in which AMAG or Allos expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement or expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: failure of Allos or AMAG stockholders to approve the proposed transaction; the challenges and costs of closing, integrating, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; disruptions to the businesses of Allos and AMAG during the pendency of the merger and during the realization of the cost synergies, including diminished performance by the commercial organizations due to planned reductions in the size of the sales and marketing organization at the combined company; the ability to retain key employees; and other economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting the businesses of Allos and AMAG generally, including those set forth in the filings of Allos and AMAG with the SEC, especially in the “Risk Factors” section of Allos’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2011, the “Risk Factors” section of AMAG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 5, 2011, and in Allos’ and AMAG’s other periodic reports and filings with the SEC.
