This Amendment No. 4 is the final amendment to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction
Statement on Schedule 13E-3 ("Amendment") relating to the offer by Neozyme II
Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser"), a British Virgin Islands ("BVI")
international business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme
Corporation ("Genzyme"), a Massachusetts corporation, to purchase all of the
outstanding units ("the Units"), each consisting of one share of Callable Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Neozyme II Corporation (the "Company"), a
BVI international business company, and one Callable Warrant to purchase two
shares of General Division common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 0.135
share of Tissue Repair Division common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Genzyme at a purchase price of $45.00 per Unit, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase dated September 27, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase") and
in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal," which,
together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented,
constitute the "Offer"). The Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal were
filed as Exhibits (d)(1) and (d)(2), respectively, to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction
Statement on Schedule 13E-3 originally filed by the Company, Genzyme and the
Purchaser on September 27, 1996.
ITEM 10. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
The response to Item 10 is hereby amended by adding the following:
On December 6, 1996, the Company was merged with and into the Purchaser
pursuant to a plan of merger that was mailed to shareholders of the Company on
November 13, 1996. As a result of the merger, the separate existence of the
Company has ceased, and the Purchaser, as the surviving corporation in the
merger, continues to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme. Upon the effective
time of the merger, all outstanding shares of Callable Common Stock of the
Company (other than shares held by Genzyme, the Company, the Purchaser or their
subsidiaries) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash
payment in the amount of $29.00 per share.
The Callable warrants that were included in the Units separated from the
Units at the effective time of the merger, and each Callable Warrant became
exercisable at that time to purchase two shares of General Division Common
Stock and 0.135 Share of Tissue Repair Division Common Stock at an exercise
price of $44.202. The Callable Warrants are not listed on any exchange or
quoted on any securities quotation system, and Genzyme does not intend to
apply for the listing or quotation of the Callable Warrants.
