Reconciliation of 2009 GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS Estimates
Our 2009 non-GAAP EPS estimate excludes the effects of: (i) recurring amortization charges related to the 1999 redemption of our common stock by Roche Holdings, Inc. and our 2007 acquisition of Tanox, Inc., which the company forecasts to be approximately $123 million on a pretax basis in 2009, (ii) items related to our acquisition of Tanox, Inc., including recognition of deferred royalty revenue which the company forecasts to be approximately $15 million on a pretax basis in 2009, (iii) income tax effect on recurring charges related to the redemption of our common stock and our acquisition of Tanox, Inc. and recognition of deferred royalty revenue which the company forecasts to be approximately $42 million in 2009, (iv) employee stock-based compensation expense, which the company forecasts to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.22 per share for 2009 on an after-tax basis, and (v) after tax costs incurred by the company on behalf of the Special Committee in connection with its review of the Roche Proposal, as well as legal costs incurred in defense of the Special Committee and/or its individual members in shareholder lawsuits filed in connection with the Roche Proposal, which the company cannot reasonably estimate for 2009 due to the uncertainty of the outcome of the Roche Proposal. Our 2009 GAAP EPS would include these items listed above as well as any other potential special charges related to existing or future litigation or its resolution, or changes in or adoption of accounting principles, all of which may be significant.

The statements regarding the amounts relating to the 1999 Roche redemption of our common stock, Tanox, Inc. acquisition, litigation-related and similar special items, and employee stock-based compensation expense, are forward-looking and such statements are predictions and involve risks and uncertainties such that actual results may differ materially. The amounts identified above could be affected by a number of factors, including greater than expected litigation-related and similar costs, changes in or adoption of accounting principles, changes in tax rates, the number of options granted to employees, and our stock price and certain valuation assumptions concerning our stock. We disclaim, and do not undertake, any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements.
