Under the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, QLT Acquisition Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of QLT, will be merged with and into Auxilium and Auxilium will be the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and, through the Merger, Auxilium will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of QLT.  The Form S-4 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

To the extent any statements are made in this document that are not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and may be forward-looking information as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”).

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”,  “estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “target”, “potential” and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Although certain of these statements set out herein are indicated above, all of the statements herein that contain forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements.  Although Auxilium believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, factors and assumptions regarding the items outlined above. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following: the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals by Auxilium and QLT stockholders and government or regulatory agencies (including the terms of such approvals); the risk that a condition to closing of the Merger may not be satisfied; the possibility that the anticipated benefits and synergies from the proposed Merger cannot be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of Auxilium and QLT operations will be greater than expected; the ability of Auxilium and QLT to obtain consents of lenders or to obtain refinancing in connection with the transaction, and if the transaction is consummated, the adequacy of the capital resources of the combined company; the ability of the combined company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers or other business partners; the impact of legislative, regulatory, competitive and technological changes, including changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase the combined company’s or Auxilium’s consolidated tax liabilities, including, if the transaction is consummated, changes in tax laws that would result in the combined company being treated as a domestic corporation for United States federal tax purposes; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company may be different from what the companies expect; the outcome of litigation brought in connection with the merger; and other risk factors relating to the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries, or the business and operations of either of Auxilium or QLT as detailed from time to time in each of Auxilium’s and QLT’s reports filed with the SEC and, in QLT’s case, the applicable Canadian securities regulators.  There can be no assurance that the proposed Merger will in fact be consummated.

Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements may be found in the body of the Form S-4, as well as under Item 1.A. in each of Auxilium’s and QLT’s respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and Item 1.A in each of Auxilium’s and QLT’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.  Auxilium cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Auxilium and QLT, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Auxilium does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as may be required by law.
