OTHER EVENTS Pfizer Inc., in order to meet Federal Trade Commission requirements for its merger with Warner-Lambert Company, has agreed to grant all development and marketing rights to OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for CP-358,774 (OSI-774). This compound, a potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, is the most advanced clinical development candidate arising from the OSI/Pfizer cancer collaboration and is currently in Phase II trials. The reason for the divestiture is the determination by the FTC of an anti-trust issue in the emerging EGFR cancer market arising as a result of the development by Warner-Lambert of an EGFR inhibitor that is currently in early Phase I studies. The divestiture of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) through the vehicle of the existing Pfizer/OSI collaboration presented the most expeditious resolution of the anti-trust issue. Although the FTC's determination is technically subject to a 30-day public notice period to be followed by final approval, both OSI and Pfizer believe that such final approval is all but certain. Pfizer and Warner-Lambert completed the merger immediately following the FTC's announcement. Under terms of the May 23, 2000 agreement with Pfizer, which became effective upon issuance and publication of the FTC's order on June 19, 2000, OSI will receive a royalty-free license to all rights for the further development and commercialization of CP-358,774 (OSI-774). In order to minimize any development delays and ensure a smooth transition, Pfizer will continue to co-ordinate the ongoing Phase II trials in ovarian, head and neck and non-small-cell lung cancer through a transition period of up to six months. Pfizer will also provide OSI with its inventories of finished product, bulk drug and production intermediates. Sufficient inventories are available to complete an extensive clinical development program. Because OSI will no longer have Pfizer as its collaborative partner in the clinical development of CP-358,774 (OSI-774), OSI is taking appropriate steps to increase its expertise and capacity in this area. OSI has appointed Paul I. Nadler, M.D., of Nadler Pharma Associates, LLC, as Acting Vice President of Medical Affairs on an interim basis, who will coordinate the first phase of this program and is establishing working partnerships with appropriate Contract Research Organizations (CROs). Dr. Nadler's medical training is in oncology and clinical immunology, and he has over 23 years experience in clinical trials. He has served as a clinical consultant to OSI since September 1999. OSI intends to retain full ownership of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) through advanced clinical development prior to seeking a marketing partnership with a major pharmaceutical company. OSI does not have, and does not currently plan to develop, its own marketing capability. OSI anticipates a net investment of approximately $25,000,000 in development of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) over the next several years. As a result of OSI's recently concluded private placement, which raised gross proceeds of $56,500,000, OSI's strategic plan has been focused on increasing investment in its own drug development programs and seeking an opportunity to license rights to a drug candidate from another company for development by OSI. This pre-existing plan envisioned significant increases in OSI's cash burn rate over the next several years, with a projected operating cash burn of approximately $20-22 million/year for fiscal years 2001 and 2002. The CP-358,774 (OSI-774) project supercedes the preceding 3 goal for in-licensing a clinical development candidate from another company. OSI has current cash reserves of over $83 million and anticipates an operating cash burn of up to $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2000. Although as a result of the acquisition of CP-358,774 (OSI-774), the cash burn may now increase to as much as $22-24 million for fiscal year 2001, OSI does not intend to cut any existing programs. TRIAL RESULTS TO DATE Phase I safety studies for CP-358,774 (OSI-774) have demonstrated that CP-358,774 (OSI-774) is well tolerated and revealed a reversible rash and mild to moderate diarrhea, treated effectively with Loperamide (Imodium(R)), as side effects from a 150 mg daily dosing regimen. A sub-set of patients in both Phase I and II studies have now received daily doses of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) for extended periods (from six months to over a year) and over 100 patients have now received the drug with well managed side effects. Enrollment has been completed for a 30 patient single agent open label salvage study in ovarian cancer and approximately 45 patients in non-small cell lung cancer and is ongoing for a similar study involving 100 patients in head and neck cancer. Patients in these studies have advanced cancer and have failed standard treatment regimens. Data continues to indicate that this drug is well tolerated and there have been encouraging indications of activity, including clinical responses, consistent with expectations based upon the experience of competitor compounds. COMPETITION OSI is aware of three companies, two of whom with resources substantially larger than OSI, who are currently developing drugs similar to CP-358,774 (OSI-774). AstraZeneca PLC is developing a small molecule with a close structural relationship to CP-358,774 (OSI-774) called Iressa(TM) that is currently in Phase III trials. The Pfizer/Warner-Lambert compound, CI-1033, now in Phase I trials, is an oral quinazolin like Iressa(TM) but, unlike these, is a "suicide inhibitor" which chemically reacts with a target protein and is less selective against other tyrosine kinases. Imclone Systems Incorporated is developing a different kind of product, a humanized antibody, against the EGFR target that is also in Phase III trials. AstraZeneca and Imclone have both indicated an expectation that they will enter the market in early 2002, ahead of the projected date for CP-358,774 (OSI-774). 4 ITEM 7.

(Nasdaq: OSIP) announced today that Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), in order to meet Federal Trade Commission requirements for its merger with Warner-Lambert Company (NYSE: WLA), is granting all development and marketing rights to OSI Pharmaceuticals for CP-358,774 (OSI-774). The compound is the most advanced clinical development candidate arising from the OSI/Pfizer alliance and is currently in Phase II trials. Warner-Lambert is also developing an EGFR inhibitor. CP-358,774 (OSI-774) is a potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of the EGFR oncogene. EGFR inhibitors are considered amongst the most promising new cancer treatments under development. Pfizer stated, "that it is taking this action today to meet the requirements of the FTC resulting from its review of the Pfizer acquisition of Warner-Lambert. By returning our rights in CP-358,774 to OSI Pharmaceuticals through the collaborative agreement between the two companies, we can most expeditiously meet the FTC requirements while minimizing any delay in the development of this anti-cancer agent." "This agreement represents a tremendous opportunity for OSI Pharmaceuticals to accelerate our previously stated plans to develop our own products," stated Colin Goddard, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of OSI Pharmaceuticals. "We believe CP-358,774 (OSI-774) to be an outstanding competitor in what is increasingly recognized as one of the most exciting areas of cancer drug development today. Based on our solid financial status and the encouraging clinical trial data for this compound, we are in a very strong position to accelerate development of this promising product to the benefit of both our shareholders and the cancer community." - more - 2 OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Page 2 Under terms of the agreement with Pfizer, OSI Pharmaceuticals will receive a royalty-free license to all rights for the further development and commercialization of CP-358,774 (OSI-774). In order to minimize any development delays and ensure a smooth transition Pfizer continues to coordinate the ongoing Phase II trials in ovarian, head and neck and non-small cell lung cancer through a transition period of up to 6 months. Pfizer will also provide OSI Pharmaceuticals with its inventories of finished product, bulk drug and production intermediates. Sufficient inventories are available to complete an extensive clinical development program. In connection with today's announcement, OSI also disclosed information updating investors on the progress of the ongoing trials. Enrollment has been completed for a 30 patient single agent open label salvage study in ovarian cancer and approximately 45 patients in non-small cell lung cancer and is ongoing for a similar study involving 100 patients in head and neck cancer. Patients in these studies have advanced cancer and have failed standard treatment regimens. "Data continue to indicate that this drug is well tolerated and have shown encouraging indications of activity, including clinical responses, consistent with our expectations based upon the experience of competitor compounds," stated Arthur Bruskin, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Pharmaceutical Operations of OSI Pharmaceuticals. Phase I studies had previously revealed a reversible rash and mild to moderate diarrhea, treated effectively with Loperamide (Imodium(R)), as side effects from daily dosing of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) on 150mg. A sub-set of patients in both Phase I and II studies have now received daily doses of CP-358,774 (OSI-774) for extended periods (from 6 months to over a year) and over 100 patients have now received the drug with well managed side effects. Daniel Von Hoff, M.D., Director, Arizona Cancer Center and Eric K. Rowinsky, M.D., Director of Clinical Research, Institute for Drug Development, Cancer Therapy and Research Center, San Antonio, Texas, were the principal investigators on the daily dosing Phase I study. Dr. Von Hoff noted that, "Compounds like CP-358,774 (OSI-774) are of great interest because they hit a specific target (EGFR) that is important in many cancer patients. In our Phase I study we identified a dose and schedule that proved to be well tolerated." Dr. Rowinsky added, "Even in this earliest study we were able to discern objective activity with this agent." Study investigators will present data from the Phase II clinical trials at the upcoming European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) symposium on new drugs in cancer therapy in Amsterdam in November. OSI Pharmaceuticals will assume planning and management of further clinical studies immediately, including pivotal studies designed to test the activity of OSI-774 in combination with existing standard of care therapy. OSI Pharmaceuticals has appointed Paul I. Nadler, M.D., of Nadler Pharma Associates, LLC, as Acting Vice President of Medical Affairs on an interim basis to coordinate the first phase of this program and establish working partnerships with appropriate Clinical Research Organizations (CROs). - more - 3 OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Page 3 Dr. Nadler's medical training is in oncology and clinical immunology and he has over 23 years of clinical trial experience. He has served as a clinical consultant to OSI Pharmaceuticals since September 1999. The Company also communicated its intent to retain full ownership of OSI-774 through advanced clinical development prior to seeking a marketing partnership with a major pharmaceutical industry ally. "We believe that this strategy provides the best vehicle for maximizing both the speed with which we can bring this product to cancer patients and the value of this asset to our shareholders. At the same time it recognizes the need for a strong marketing presence in order to effectively compete in this emerging market," stated Geoff Cooper, Ph.D., Vice President, Business Development of OSI Pharmaceuticals. OSI anticipates a net investment of approximately $25MM in this program over the next several years. The Company recently concluded a private placement, raising $56.5MM, and currently has over $83MM in cash. Dr. Goddard added, "We are fortunate to be in the position to make this investment without negatively impacting our other programs and we believe this deal greatly strengthens the Company. OSI is now in the position of owning a strong clinical candidate in an exciting anti-cancer area, backed by the resources to develop it and an outstanding pipeline of collaborative and proprietary drug candidates."
