CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee**
$5,209,219,175.00		$603,749

 

*                           Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee.  The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 145,136,214 ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, of Patheon N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 1,747,750 outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $35.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding stock options by an amount equal to $35.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such stock options of $23.28 per share), (iii) 1,408,018 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share and (iv) 1,705,355 shares subject to issuance pursuant to performance share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of May 30, 2017.

 

**                    The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001159.

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2017 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) in relation to the tender offer by Thermo Fisher (CN) Luxembourg S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Thermo Fisher”), for all outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Patheon N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands registered with the trade register in The Netherlands under file number 59564903 (“Patheon”) at a price of $35.00 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest to the holders thereof, payable in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 31, 2017 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, which, together with any other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

 

All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is incorporated herein by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

 

Items 1, 4, and 11.

 

Items 1, 4, and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28, 2017.  The Depositary has advised Thermo Fisher and Purchaser that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28, 2017, 138,406,058 Shares (excluding 176,509 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), representing approximately 95.3% of the outstanding Shares, had been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn.  All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Purchaser has commenced the Subsequent Offering Period.  The Subsequent Offering Period will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on September 13, 2017.  All Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period will be immediately accepted for payment, and tendering holders will thereafter promptly be paid the same Offer Consideration of $35.00 per Share, in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes or other

taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The procedures for accepting the Offer and tendering Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period are described in the Offer to Purchase and are generally the same as those applicable to the initial offering period, except that Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period may not be withdrawn and the guaranteed delivery procedures may not be used during the Subsequent Offering Period.

 

Thermo Fisher intends to cause Patheon to be converted from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.) to a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law and to cause the delisting of Patheon and the Shares from the NYSE as promptly as practicable after the Offer Closing.

 

In connection with the Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the Offer Closing, James C. Mullen, Stephan Tanda, Charles I. Cogut, Gary Pisano, Philip Eykerman, Pamela Daley, Hugh Welsh, Paul S. Levy, Daniel Agroskin and Hans Peter Hasler each resigned and ceased to be directors of Patheon.  At the Offer Closing, Anthony H. Smith became the executive director of Patheon, Seth H. Hoogasian, Patrick M. Durbin, John Sos and Shiraz Ladiwala became non-executive directors of Patheon, and Jeffrey P. McMullen and William B. Hayes remained on Patheon’s board of directors as independent directors.

 

The full text of the press release issued by Thermo Fisher announcing the completion of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(H) and is incorporated by reference herein.
