This Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), filed initially with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2009 by Apex Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gilead”), and Gilead relating to the tender offer by Acquisition Sub to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of CV Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CV Therapeutics”), at a purchase price of $20.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon. The tender offer by Acquisition Sub is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 18, 2009, and in the Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Acquisition Sub and Gilead.

 

ITEM 11.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The Offer expired on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at one minute following 11:59 p.m. New York City time (midnight). Based on final information provided to Acquisition Sub by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the Depositary for the Offer, 59,380,080 shares of CV Therapeutics common stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (including 4,625,773 of such shares tendered to the Depositary pursuant to the Offer’s guaranteed delivery procedures), representing over 88% of the shares of CV Therapeutics common stock outstanding as of the close of business on April 14, 2009. Following the expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub accepted for payment all of such shares according to the terms of the Offer, and Acquisition Sub will promptly pay for such shares.

Gilead intends to complete the acquisition of CV Therapeutics through the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into CV Therapeutics as soon as practicable in accordance with applicable provisions of Delaware law that authorize the completion of the merger without a vote or meeting of stockholders of CV Therapeutics. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2009, among Gilead, CV Therapeutics and Acquisition Sub, previously filed as Exhibit (d)(1) to this Schedule TO, all remaining shares of CV Therapeutics common stock (other than shares held by Gilead, Acquisition Sub, CV Therapeutics or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, or held in CV Therapeutics’ treasury or by CV Therapeutics’ stockholders who properly preserve their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $20.00 per share in cash, without interest, in the merger.

In order to accomplish the merger in the manner described above, Gilead intends to exercise its “top-up” option pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which permits Gilead or Acquisition Sub to purchase additional shares of CV Therapeutics common stock directly from CV Therapeutics for $20.00 per share, the same dollar amount per share paid in the Offer.

On April 15, 2009, Gilead issued a press release announcing the completion of the Offer. The press release is included as Exhibit (a)(12) to this Schedule TO and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.
