Additional Information
If the merger is completed, Applied Biosystems shareholders will receive $38.00 in cash or an amount of Invitrogen stock based on Invitrogen's 20-day volume-weighted average price. The purchase price will be paid 45 percent in cash and the rest in stock

Each share for which a holder fails to make any election with respect to any Applied Biosystems stock, will be converted into the right to receive the combination of $17.10 in cash and 0.4543 of a share of Invitrogen common stock.

An Applied Biosystems stockholder who makes a valid election to receive stock consideration will have the right to receive 0.8261 shares of Invitrogen common stock for each ABI share held.

If the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock on each trading day during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third business day prior to the effective time of the merger is less than $46.00 per share, the holder of each share of Applied Biosystems stock which is converted into a right to receive any portion of the merger consideration in the form of shares of Invitrogen common stock will, in addition, receive an amount in cash without interest equal to the product of the portion of a share of Invitrogen common stock which such holder has a right to receive multiplied by the lesser of $46.00 minus the 20-day volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock and $2.31. However, if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock is less than $43.69 per share, there will not be any cash paid in addition to the amount calculated as described above. There also will not be any adjustment in the merger consideration if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock exceeds $46.00 per share.

If the 20-day volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock is less than $46.00 per share, then holders of Applied Biosystems stock who receive all or a portion of their consideration in shares of Invitrogen stock will also receive an additional cash amount of up to $1.05 per share of Applied Biosystems stock if such holder elects mixed consideration, or up to $1.91 per share of Applied Biosystems stock if such holder elects stock consideration. Applied Biosystems stockholders who receive cash only will not receive any additional amounts.
