ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Abbott tendered all of the 7,938,244 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer (the "Common Stock") beneficially owned by it in response to the tender offer (the "Tender Offer") made by Simbolo Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Gilead Sciences, Inc. The Tender Offer expired at midnight, New York City time, on January 15, 2003 and Simbolo accepted the Shares for payment on January 16, 2003. As a result, Abbott no longer is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Abbott disposed of all 7,938,244 of the Shares upon their acceptance for payment by Simbolo pursuant to the Tender Offer on January 16, 2003 for the Tender Offer price of $6.00 per share, net to Abbott in cash.
