INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 (this “ Amendment No.  2 ”) amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Statement ”) filed on July 2, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) by Foundation Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Foundation Medicine ” or the “ Company ”), the issuer of the common stock that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction, and relates to the cash tender offer by 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Sub ”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Roche Holdings ”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Shares ”), of Foundation Medicine at a price per Share equal to $137.00, net to the seller of such Shares in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law (the “ Offer ”). The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Company, Roche Holdings and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with the Company being the surviving corporation. The terms of the Offer, and the conditions to which it is subject, are set forth in the combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO by Merger Sub and Roche Holdings on July 2, 2018 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Schedule TO ”), which contain as exhibits an Offer to Purchase dated July 2, 2018 (the “ Offer to Purchase ”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “ Letter of Transmittal ,” which together with the Offer to Purchase, as each of them may be amended or supplemented from time to time, contain the terms of the Offer). In response to the Offer, the Company filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 on July 2, 2018 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Schedule 14D-9 ”).

The information in the Statement is incorporated into this Amendment No. 2 by reference to all of the applicable items in the Statement, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent provided in this Amendment No. 2. All information contained in this Schedule 13E-3 concerning the Company, Roche Holdings and Merger Sub has been provided by such person and not by any other person. All capitalized terms used in this Schedule 13E-3 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9.

The information contained in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 2) on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company with the SEC on July 31, 2018, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(2)(F) hereto, and the information contained in the Tender Offer Statement (Amendment No. 3) on Schedule TO filed by Roche Holdings on July 31, 2018, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(H) hereto, is incorporated herein by reference and amends, supplements and restates, as the case may be, the Statement.

ITEM 15. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Item 15 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

“The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of July 30, 2018 ( i.e. , one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2018). Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “ Depositary ”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary has advised that Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with respect to approximately 1,342,573 Shares that have not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied or waived, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition, as defined in the Offer to Purchase, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Promptly after the expiration of the Offer, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub acquired sufficient Shares to complete the Merger without the affirmative vote of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”), each issued and outstanding Share (other than (1) Shares owned at the commencement of the Offer and immediately prior to the Effective Time by Roche Holdings, Roche Holding Ltd or any other

direct or indirect subsidiary of Roche Holdings or Roche Holding Ltd, (2) Shares owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and (3) Shares held by stockholders who are entitled to, and who have properly exercised their demands for appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have neither withdrawn nor lost such rights prior to the Effective Time), will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $137.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes.

Following consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Roche Holdings and Merger Sub intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.

On July 31, 2018, Roche Holdings issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(2)(G) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”
