Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement released by
Aspen on 4 February 2013 (and subsequent renewals of this cautionary

between Aspen and MSD, known as Merck in the United States and Canada,
in respect of a possible transaction comprising the acquisition of an
active pharmaceutical ingredient facility situated primarily in the
Netherlands and a related portfolio of pharmaceutical finished dose
form products.

These discussions remain ongoing and may have a material effect on the
price of Aspen’s securities if successfully concluded and accordingly
shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing
