Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.
Common Stock
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We initially issued the warrants in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Each warrant entitles
the holder to purchase 7.60 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$5.19 per share, subject to adjustment in some circumstances. We filed a
registration statement (Registration No. 333-92383) in order to permit the
holders of these warrants and shares of our common stock acquired on exercise
of these warrants to resell those securities in transactions that are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
On pages 52 through 55 of the prospectus contained in that registration
statement, there is a table that provides certain information with respect to
those holders. We have prepared this prospectus supplement to
o add the following persons to the table as holders of warrants and
underlying shares of common stock:
