This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2013, as amended (the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by BRGO Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Parent” or “Cubist”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, per value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), of Trius Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Trius”), at a price of $13.50 per Share, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes plus one contingent value right per Share, which represents the contractual right to receive up to $2.00 per Share, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 13, 2013, attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) (which, together with the supplement described below and any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which collectively constitute the “Offer.” This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the Purchaser and Parent.

 

All information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in the Schedule TO, except those items to which information is specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

 

ITEM  11.                         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

The Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The following paragraph is inserted as a new final paragraph under the heading entitled “Securityholder Litigation” of Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase:

 

“On August 30, 2013, plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate the three actions ( Beidler v. Stein, et al., Weeks v. Trius Therapeutics, Inc. , et al ., and Shifrin v. Stein, et al. ) filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware between August 9, 2013 and August 14, 2013.  Those actions were filed, respectively, by plaintiff David Beidler; plaintiffs John K. Weeks, Jr. and Lynn Weeks; and plaintiffs Norman Shifrin and Irmgard Kaufhold. Those stockholder plaintiffs also moved to have the law firms of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP; Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP; and Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. appointed as co-lead counsel for the proposed class of Trius stockholders. On September 4, 2013, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware granted the requested consolidation of those actions as well as the appointment of co-lead counsel.”
