See Item 5 herein. Page 12 of 20 Pages This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of the Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Bioenvision, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated May 20, 2002 (the "Initial Statement"), filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined herein). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to supplementally amend Item 2 herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows. Item 2. Identity and Background This Statement is being filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"): (i) Perseus-Soros BioPharmaceutical Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser"); (ii) Perseus-Soros Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Perseus-Soros Partners"); (iii) Perseus BioTech Fund Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Perseus Partners"); (iv) SFM Participation, LP, a Delaware limied partnership ("SFM Participation"); (v) SFM AH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SFM AH LLC"); (vi) Mr. Frank H. Pearl ("Mr. Pearl"); (vii) Mr. George Soros ("Mr. Soros"); (viii) Soros Fund Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SFM LLC"); (ix) Perseus EC, LLC ; a Delaware limited liability company ("Perseus EC"); and (x) Perseuspur, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Perseuspur"). This Statement relates to the Shares held for the accounts of the Purchaser. Effective December 31, 2002, SFM AH Inc. was converted into SFM AH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On such date, Mr. Soros, the sole owner of SFM AH LLC, contributed his interest in SFM AH LLC to Soros Private Funds Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SPFM"), wholly-owned by Mr. Soros. SPFM is the sole managing member of SFM AH LLC. Neither SPFM nor SFM AH LLC have executive officers or directors. As a result, Annex C of the Initial Statement is hereby deleted. On December 27, 2002, Mr. Soros appealed a decision of the 11e Chambre du Tribunal Correctionnel in Paris, France that fined him $2.28 million on December 20, 2002 based on a finding of insider trading with respect to trading in securities of Societe Generale in 1988. Mr. Soros has elected to provide the foregoing information on a voluntary basis. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 9,000,000 Shares held for the account of the Purchaser (approximately 34.77% of the total number of Shares outstanding). (b) (i) Each of the Purchaser and Perseus-Soros Partners may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the 9,000,000 Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser. Page 13 of 20 Pages (ii) Each of Perseus Partners, SFM Participation, SFM AH LLC, Mr. Pearl, Mr. Soros, SFM LLC, Perseus EC and Perseuspur may be deemed to have shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the 9,000,000 Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser. (c) There have been no transactions effected with respect to the Shares since November 9, 2002 (sixty days prior to the date hereof) by any of the Reporting Persons. (d) Each of the Reporting Persons affirms that no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The partners of the Purchaser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sales of, the Shares held for the account of the Purchaser in accordance with their ownership interests in the Purchaser. (e) Not applicable. Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits The Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
