The following disclosure supplements the discussion at page 63 of the Proxy Statement concerning the unsolicited offer by Allos Company A to merge with Allos, by adding the following paragraph:

 

On October 7, 2011, Allos Company A delivered a letter to Allos withdrawing Allos Company A’s revised proposal to acquire Allos.  As a result, Allos is no longer providing information to, or engaging in discussions or negotiations with, Allos Company A with respect to the revised acquisition proposal or any other acquisition proposal.  Allos continues to work with AMAG towards the completion of their merger, pending stockholder approval and satisfaction of the other conditions to closing described in Allos’ definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on September 15, 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “continue,” and other similar terminology or the negative of these terms, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a particular statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove accurate. For example, if Allos or AMAG does not receive its respective required stockholder approval or the parties fail to satisfy other conditions to closing, the transaction may not be consummated. In any forward-looking statement in which AMAG or Allos expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement or expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: failure of Allos or AMAG stockholders to approve the proposed transaction; the challenges and costs of closing, integrating, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; disruptions to the businesses of Allos and AMAG during the pendency of the merger and during the realization of the cost synergies, including diminished performance by the commercial organizations due to planned reductions in the size of the sales and marketing organization at the combined company; the ability to retain key employees; and other economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting the businesses of Allos and AMAG generally, including those set forth in the filings of Allos and AMAG with the SEC, especially in the “Risk Factors” section of Allos’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2011, the “Risk Factors” section of AMAG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 5, 2011, and in Allos’ and AMAG’s other periodic reports and filings with the SEC. Allos cautions investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to Allos on the date hereof, and Allos undertakes no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, except as required by law.
