(a) This Statement is being filed by OrbiMed Advisors LLC, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, OrbiMed Capital LLC, a
limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, and Samuel D.
Isaly ("Isaly"), an individual (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").
(b)-(c) OrbiMed Advisors LLC is a registered investment adviser under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, that acts as investment adviser
or general partner to certain clients which hold Shares of the Issuer, as more
particularly described in Item 3 below. OrbiMed Advisors LLC has its principal
offices at 767 Third Avenue, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10017.
OrbiMed Capital LLC is a registered investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, that acts as general partner to
certain limited partnerships as more particularly described in Item 3 below.
OrbiMed Capital LLC has its principal offices at 767 Third Avenue, 30th Floor,
New York, New York 10017.
Isaly, a natural person, owns a controlling interest in OrbiMed
Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Capital LLC.
The directors and executive officers of OrbiMed Advisors LLC and
OrbiMed Capital LLC are set forth on Schedules I and II, attached hereto.
Schedules I and II set forth the following information with respect to each such
person:
(i) name;
(ii) business address (or residence address where indicated);
(iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name,
principal business and address of any corporation or other
organization in which such employment is conducted;
(iv) citizenship.
(d)-(e) During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor
any Person named in Schedules I or II have been (i) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent

Page 6 of 13
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.
(f) Isaly is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.
On and prior to April 15, 2005, pursuant to the discretionary
investment management authority of OrbiMed Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Capital LLC
under their respective investment advisory contracts and limited partnership
agreements with or relating to Eaton Vance Worldwide Health Sciences and
Finsbury Worldwide Pharmaceutical Trust caused these clients to purchase
1,485,512 Shares of the Issuer. The authority referenced in the preceding
sentence included authority to vote, purchase and/or sell securities held by or
on behalf of such clients, including those Shares of the Issuer referenced in
that sentence.
Following the above transactions, Isaly, as the owner of a controlling
interest in OrbiMed Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Capital LLC, is the beneficial
owner of approximately 6.34% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer. OrbiMed
Advisors LLC is the beneficial owner of approximately 2.65% of the outstanding
Shares of the Issuer and OrbiMed Capital LLC is the beneficial owner of
approximately 3.69% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.
None of the Reporting Persons have acquired or disposed of any
additional Shares of the Issuer since April 15, 2005.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
As described more fully in Item 3 above, this statement relates to the
acquisition of Shares by the Reporting Persons. The Shares acquired by the
Reporting Persons have been acquired for the purpose of making an investment in
the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer's
business on behalf of Eaton Vance Worldwide Health Sciences or Finsbury
Worldwide Pharmaceutical Trust or any other of the Reporting Persons' respective
advisory clients.
The Reporting Persons were previously granted and exercised the right
to appoint a representative to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the
Issuer, so as to permit active monitoring of the operations of the Issuer. Carl
L. Gordon currently serves as the Reporting Persons' representative to the
Board.
The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their
investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general
economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those
for the Issuer's Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other
investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will
take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in
light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If the Reporting Persons
believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of
the market price of the Issuer's Shares or otherwise, they may acquire shares of
common stock or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in
Page 7 of 13
privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on market and other
factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the
Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the
Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have not formulated
any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition
by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of
securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving
the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material
amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in
the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, (e) any material
change in the Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy, (f) any other material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the
Issuer's charter or bylaws or other or instrument corresponding thereto or other
action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person,
(h) causing a class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted,
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination
of registration or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)-(b) As of the date of this filing, OrbiMed Advisors LLC, OrbiMed
Capital LLC and Samuel D. Isaly may be deemed directly or indirectly, including
by reason of their mutual affiliation, to be the beneficial owners of the Common
Stock described in Item 3. Based upon information contained in the most recent
available filing by the Issuer with the SEC, such Shares constitute
approximately 6.34% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As described above in
Item 2, Isaly owns, pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company
agreement of each of OrbiMed Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Capital LLC, a controlling
interest in the outstanding limited liability company interests of such entity.
As a result, Isaly, OrbiMed Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Capital LLC share power to
direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the Common Stock described in
Item 3.
(c) The following tables set forth all transactions with respect to the
Shares, effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Reporting
Persons. All such transactions were effected in a private placement, and the
tables include commissions paid in per share prices.
