| balances and cash equivalents) to Facet, which cash amount was equal
to the par value of such Shares, and issuing a promissory note to Facet in
the amount of $1,690,978,964.45. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, also on April 21, 2010, Abbott
effected a short-form merger (the Merger) in accordance with Section 253
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL). In the Merger, the Purchaser was merged
with and into Facet with Facet continuing as the surviving corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott. At
the effective time of the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to
the effective time (other than Shares owned by Facet, any wholly-owned
subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the Purchaser, and Shares held by dissenting
stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL) was
converted into the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest and
subject to any required withholding taxes. The Purchaser will pay up to an
aggregate of $161,460,918 to holders of Shares acquired pursuant to the
Merger, which will be funded through Abbotts existing cash balances and cash
equivalents. | |
| --- | --- |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
| The purpose of the Offer and the Merger is to acquire control of, and
the entire equity interest in, Facet. On March 23, 2010, the Purchaser commenced the Offer upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and
the Letter of Transmittal. The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City
time, at the end of the day on April 19, 2010. All Shares that were
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn were accepted for purchase by the
Purchaser on April 20, 2010. On April 21, 2010, the Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option
under the Merger Agreement and purchased 62,652,055 newly-issued Shares from
Facet at the Offer Price. The Shares
purchased pursuant to the Top-Up Option, together with the Shares accepted
for purchase upon expiration of the Offer, constituted more than 90% of the
Shares (determined on a fully diluted basis) that were outstanding
immediately after the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the
Top-Up Option. As a result, pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, on April 21, 2010, Abbott effected the Merger
in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL, which provides that, if a
corporation owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of
stock of a subsidiary corporation, the corporation holding such stock may
merge such subsidiary into itself, or itself into such subsidiary, without
any action or vote on the part of the board of directors or the stockholders
of such other corporation. In the
Merger, the Purchaser was merged with and into Facet with Facet continuing as
the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott. At the effective time of the Merger, each
Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Shares
owned by Facet, any wholly-owned subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the
Purchaser, and Shares held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercise
appraisal rights under the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive
$27.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding
taxes. As a result of the Merger, the Shares are no longer traded on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market, there is no public market for the Shares and
registration of the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, will be terminated. As of the date of this Schedule 13D, and except as otherwise provided
in the Offer to Purchase, the business and operations of Facet have been
continued substantially as they were being conducted prior to the Merger.
Abbott intends to conduct a comprehensive review of Facets business,
operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing the
development of Facets potential in conjunction with Abbotts existing
business. All information contained in Section 11 Purpose of the Offer;

| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) (b) As of April 21, 2010, prior to the
effective time of the Merger the Purchaser was the direct record owner of and
may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to,
and each other Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own and have
shared voting and dispositive power with respect to, 81,909,724 Shares,
representing approximately 93.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As of April 21, 2010,
following the effective time of the Merger Abbott was the direct record owner
of and may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to
1,000 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, representing 100%
of the issued and outstanding equity interest of the Surviving Corporation. (c) On April 20, 2010, the Purchaser accepted for purchase
all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in
connection with the Offer. An aggregate of 19,257,669 Shares were purchased
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer at $27.00 per
Share. On April 21, 2010, the
Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option under the Merger Agreement and
purchased 62,652,055 newly-issued Shares at the Offer Price. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 21,
2010, Abbott effected the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the
DGCL. In the Merger, the Purchaser was
merged with and into Facet with Facet continuing as the surviving corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott.
At the effective time of the Merger, each Share outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time (other than Shares owned by Facet,
any wholly-owned subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the Purchaser, and Shares
held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under

interest and subject to any required withholding taxes. Prior to the Merger,
Abbott held 1,000 shares of the common stock, no par value per share, of the
Purchaser (the Purchaser Shares), which represented all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Purchaser.
At the effective time of the Merger, each Purchaser Share was
converted into one share of common stock of Facet, as the surviving corporation
of the Merger, and as a result Abbott acquired 100% of the equity interest of
Facet. Except as described
in this Schedule 13D, no transactions in Shares were effected by Abbott or
the Purchaser or, to the knowledge of Abbott or the Purchaser, any person
identified in Annex I hereto, during the 60 days prior to the date
hereof. (d) (e) Not applicable. References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement as set forth

Purchaser, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 above,
