The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by Parker Tennessee Corp. (“Acquisition Sub”), a Tennessee corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pfizer”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub has offered to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, no par value per share, of King (the “Shares”) at a price of $14.25 per Share, net to the selling shareholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 22, 2010 and the related Letter of Transmittal, and described in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Pfizer and Acquisition Sub with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 22, 2010, as amended.
     Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.
