     (f) Each of Dr. Frost and Mrs. Frost is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     On July 25, 2005, IVAX entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TEVA Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, an Israeli corporation (“TEVA”), Ivory Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TEVA (“Merger Sub”), and Ivory Acquisition Sub II, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TEVA (“Sister Subsidiary”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, Merger Sub will merge with and into IVAX, with IVAX continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), and immediately thereafter, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Sister Subsidiary, and Sister Subsidiary will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEVA (both mergers, taken together, the “Merger”).

 


 

 
CUSIP NO. 465823102   SCHEDULE 13D
Page 5 of 10 Pages
     At the effective time of the Merger, each share of IVAX common stock, par value $0.10, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by TEVA), and each “right” attached thereto under IVAX’s Rights Agreement, dated as of December 29, 1997, as amended as of May 12, 2000 (the “Rights Agreement”), will be converted into the right to receive the following merger consideration (subject to proration as described below):
    Each share of Common Stock with respect to which the holder properly elects to receive cash consideration will be converted into the right to receive $26.00 in cash; and
 
    Each share of Common Stock with respect to which the holder properly elects to receive stock consideration will be converted into the right to receive 0.8471 ordinary shares of TEVA, par value NIS 0.10 (“Ordinary Shares”), which will trade in the United States in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).
The conversion rights of the cash-electing, stock-electing and non-electing stockholders will be subject to proration such that no more than one half of the elections will be for cash and no more than one half of the elections will be for TEVA ADSs.

After completion of the Merger, the Common Stock will be de-listed from the American Stock Exchange.
     Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, TEVA entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), with Dr. Frost, Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Frost-Nevada Investments Trust, Frost Alpha Investments Trust, Jack Fishman, Ph.D., Neil Flanzraich, Rafick G. Henein, Ph.D., Jane Hsiao, Ph.D., HSU Investment Limited, Charles Hsiao Family Irrevocable Trust – A and Charles Hsiao Family Irrevocable Trust – B (the “IVAX Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the IVAX Stockholders have agreed that until the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, the IVAX Stockholders will vote or cause to be voted the shares of Common Stock over which the IVAX Stockholders have voting power in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and Merger, as more fully described in Item 6.
     The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and Stockholders Agreement contained in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto, respectively.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     The IVAX Stockholders agreed to enter into the Stockholders Agreement to induce TEVA to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, the Merger.
