(1) | On March 3, 2005, SkyePharma's obligation to purchase the above referenced securities pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") dated December 29, 2004 became unconditional. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, SkyePharma is obligated to purchase 8,680,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer owned by Mr. Mike Ajnsztajn and 2,480,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer owned by Mr. Gaston Liebhaber. |
(2) | The aggregate consideration to be paid by SkyePharma for Mr. Ajnsztajn's shares is 4,263,963 SkyePharma ordinary shares. The aggregate consideration to be paid by SkyePharma for Mr. Liebhaber's shares is 1,218,275 SkyePharma ordinary shares. The combined value of the consideration to be paid by SkyePharma is $6,308,161.82 calculated on the following basis. The closing price in pounds Sterling of SkyePharma ordinary shares on 3/3/05 as reported by the London Stock Exchange, which was 60.25 pence Sterling, was multiplied by the 5,482,238 SkyePharma ordinary shares to be issued to Mr. Ajnsztajn and Mr. Liebhaber. The resulting price of GBP 3,303,048.40 was then converted into US dollars by using the noon buying rate on 3/3/05 for cable transfers in pounds Sterling, as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The noon buying rate on 3/3/05 was $1.9098. On that basis, the value of the consideration to be paid per Astralis share is $0.565. |
