VANCOUVER, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AnorMED Inc. (TSX: AOM; AMEX: AOM) announces that it has filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia, asking that a group of dissident shareholders led by Baker Bros. Advisors LLC, be ordered to correct a misstatement published in their proxy circular. Baker Bros. is seeking to replace the AnorMED board of directors with its own slate of directors. In its dissident circular, Baker Bros. selectively quotes from a previously unpublished, confidential report prepared for AnorMED by Blair Franklin Capital Partners Inc. Blair Franklin was engaged to advise an independent committee of AnorMED's board on financing options for the company. Based on Blair Franklin's advice, on December 8, 2005, AnorMED closed a successful $34.5 million bought deal financing. AnorMED believes that Baker Bros.' circular mischaracterizes Blair Franklin's recommendation. The court has ordered Baker Bros. to respond to AnorMED's Petition by Saturday, April 8, 2006, and has ordered a hearing for Monday, April 10, 2006. In order to give all shareholders access to the same information, AnorMED has now posted a copy of the Blair Franklin report on its website at http://www.anormed.com/. AnorMED shareholders are recommended to vote their BLUE AnorMED proxy in favour of the AnorMED Slate. Proxies must be returned by April 19, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. Vancouver time for your vote to count. The AnorMED Management Proxy Circular, which has been mailed to shareholders and filed with regulators, is available on the Company website (http://www.anormed.com/) and SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com/. For more information call North American toll free number 1-866-267-8910, or collect at 416-642-7069. If shareholders previously returned a Yellow Dissident Proxy, they have every legal right to change their vote, by simply signing, dating and returning a Blue proxy.
