     This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2008, by Alaska Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Lilly”), relating to a tender offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the associated preferred stock purchase rights (collectively, the “Shares”), of ImClone Systems Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“ImClone”), at a purchase price of $70.00 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 14, 2008, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) respectively. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.
