     This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) initially filed on July 8, 2010 in respect of the Shares. The Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     The disclosure in Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 30, 2010, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and Abraxis, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury Shares of Abraxis and any Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Abraxis, and any Dissenting Company Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $58.00 (the “Cash Consideration”), (ii) 0.2617 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), and (iii) one contingent value right (“CVR”) issued by Parent subject to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement described below (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock were or will be issued in the Merger, and Abraxis stockholders received or will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.
     Parent used its available cash to pay the Cash Consideration.
     References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement as set forth herein are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and which is incorporated by reference in this Item 3 in its entirety.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     The disclosure in Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     The purpose of the Merger Agreement is to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, Abraxis. The purpose of each of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, the Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Merger Agreement
     On October 15, 2010, Parent completed its acquisition of Abraxis on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Merger was approved by the stockholders of Abraxis at a special meeting of the stockholders held on October 13, 2010. The Merger became effective on October 15, 2010. As a result of the Merger, Abraxis became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
     As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury Shares of Abraxis and any Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Abraxis, and any Dissenting Company Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock were issued or will be issued in the Merger, and Abraxis stockholders received or will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. All outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units of Abraxis were canceled at the Effective Time.
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time Merger Sub was merged with and into Abraxis, with Abraxis continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Abraxis, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, was, by virtue of the Merger, amended and restated in a form mutually agreed and, as so amended, became the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, became the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, with such modifications to the

3


 

indemnification provisions as required by Section 6.2(a) of the Merger Agreement. The directors of Merger Sub and the officers of Abraxis in office immediately prior to the Effective Time became the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation.
     Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on the NASDAQ, there will be no public market for the Shares and the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.
Contingent Value Rights Agreement
     At the closing of the Merger, Parent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (“CVR Agreement”) governing the terms of the CVRs. A holder of a CVR is entitled to receive a pro rata portion of cash payments that Parent is obligated to pay to all holders of CVRs, as follows:
    Net Sales Payments. For each full one-year period ending December 31 during the term of the CVR Agreement (a “Net Sales Measuring Period”), a payment that equals (i) 2.5% of that portion of Net Sales of Abraxane® and the other Products (as each such term is defined in the CVR Agreement) that exceeds $1 billion but is less than or equal to $2 billion for such period, plus (ii) an additional amount equal to 5.0% of that portion of Net Sales of Abraxane® and the other Products that exceeds $2 billion but is less than or equal to $3 billion for such period, plus (iii) an additional amount equal to 10.0% of that portion of Net Sales of Abraxane® and the other Products that exceeds $3 billion for such period; provided that no Net Sales Payments will be due following a Net Sales Payment Termination Date. “Net Sales Payment Termination Date” is defined as the last day of the Net Sales Measuring Period ending on December 31, 2025; provided that, if Net Sales of the Products for the Net Sales Measuring Period ending on December 31, 2025 are equal to or greater than $1 billion , then the Net Sales Payment Termination Date will be extended until the earlier of (x) the last day of the Net Sales Measuring Period during which Net Sales of the Products are less than $1 billion and (y) December 31, 2030.
 
    Milestone Payment #1. $250 million, with respect to the achievement of U.S. regulatory approval of Abraxane® for use in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, which permits Parent to market such Product under a label that includes a progression free survival claim, but only if the foregoing milestone is achieved no later than the fifth anniversary of the execution of the CVR Agreement.
 
    Milestone Payment #2. $400 million (if achieved no later than April 1, 2013) or $300 million (if achieved after April 1, 2013 and before the fifth anniversary of the CVR Agreement), with respect to the achievement of U.S. regulatory approval of Abraxane® for use in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, which permits Parent to market such Product under a label that includes an overall survival claim.
     Parent has agreed to use diligent efforts to achieve each of the Milestones above through the fifth year anniversary of the CVR Agreement and to use diligent efforts to obtain FDA regulatory approval for the commercial manufacture, marketing and sale of Abraxane® for the treatment of melanoma, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer and first-line metastatic breast cancer unless the data generated in an appropriate clinical trial does not support further development of Abraxane® for the applicable indication. Parent has also agreed to use diligent efforts to sell Abraxane® or any other Products for which Parent has obtained regulatory approval for the commercial manufacture, marketing and sale thereof.
     Parent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the CVRs to be approved for listing for trading on NASDAQ and to maintain such listing for as long as CVRs remain outstanding.
     Parent may, at any time on and after the date that fifty percent of the CVRs initially issued pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement either are (i) no longer outstanding, and/or (ii) repurchased, acquired, redeemed or retired by Parent, redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding CVRs at a cash redemption price equal to the average price paid for all CVRs by Parent in prior transactions.

Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement
     As an inducement to Parent and as a condition to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong entered in a Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement with Parent (the “Noncompetition Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong will be generally prohibited, for 10 years from and after the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, from owning or otherwise engaging in the business of researching, developing, licensing, manufacturing, selling, offering for sale, importing, using, marketing, distributing, practicing or otherwise exploiting any Albumin-Bound Nab® Products (as defined in the Noncompetition Agreement) in the United States and any foreign jurisdiction in which Abraxis was engaged in the business of researching, developing, licensing, manufacturing, selling, offering for sale, importing, using, marketing, distributing, practicing or otherwise exploiting any Albumin-Bound Nab® Products as of the Effective Time.
Stockholders’ Agreement
     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong and certain related entities holding, in the aggregate, approximately 82% of the issued and outstanding Shares (the “Committed Stockholders”) entered in a Stockholders’ Agreement with Parent (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Committed Stockholders have agreed not to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Parent Common Stock to be acquired by them in the Merger (the “Merger Common Stock”) for three years following the Effective Time, other than to certain permitted transferees or in connection with a third party tender or exchange offer, merger or similar transaction involving Parent; provided that after two years the Committed Stockholders may sell up to 25% of the aggregate Merger Common Stock held by all Committed Stockholders immediately after the Effective Time. In addition, the Committed Stockholders have agreed that prior to the fourth anniversary of the Merger, the Committed Stockholders will not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer, in any calendar month, in open market transactions, more than 30% of the aggregate Merger Common Stock held by all Committed Stockholders immediately after the Effective Time.
