~~Date:~~As ~~August~~previously 22disclosed, on May 15, 2017, Patheon, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (“Thermo Fisher”) and Thermo Fisher (CN) Luxembourg S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher (“Purchaser”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, of Patheon (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $35.00 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest to the holders thereof, payable in cash (the “Offer Consideration”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 31, 2017 (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

from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). The Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal were filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Patheon with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2017 (as amended and supplemented from time to time). The Offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on May 31, 2017 by Purchaser and Thermo Fisher (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”).

The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), has advised Thermo Fisher that a total of 138,406,058 Shares, representing approximately 95.3% of the outstanding Shares, were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn (excluding 176,509 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) pursuant to the Offer as of the Expiration Time. On August 29, 2017, Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time (such time, the “Offer Closing”), and payment of the Offer Price for such Shares will be made by the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

In addition, upon the Offer Closing, outstanding equity awards of Patheon were treated as follows:

· Each outstanding restricted stock unit in respect of Shares that is subject to only time-based vesting (each, a “Patheon RSU”) that was vested as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing or that was held by a non-employee director of Patheon (whether vested or unvested) and each outstanding restricted stock unit in respect of Shares that was subject, in whole or in part, to vesting based on the achievement of one or more performance goals (each, a “Patheon PSU”) (whether vested or unvested), was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to required withholding) equal to (x) the Offer Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Patheon RSU or Patheon PSU, as applicable (which, in the case of Patheon PSUs, was determined based on achievement of actual performance conditions in accordance with the terms of the award).

· Each outstanding Patheon RSU that was unvested as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing and that was not held by a non-employee director of Patheon was, unless agreed otherwise between Purchaser and the holder of such Patheon RSU, canceled and converted into a restricted stock unit award, with substantially the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as were applicable to such Patheon RSU as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing, with respect to the number of shares of Purchaser common stock that is equal to (x) 0.1996919 (the “Exchange Ratio”) multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Patheon RSU as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing.

· Each outstanding option to acquire Shares (each, a “Patheon Option”) that was vested as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing was canceled in exchange for an amount in cash (without interest and subject to required withholding) equal to (x) the excess, if any, of the Offer Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such Patheon Option multiplied by (y) the number of Shares subject to such Patheon Option.

· Each outstanding Patheon Option that was unvested as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing was, unless agreed otherwise between Purchaser and the holder of such Patheon Option, canceled and converted into a stock option award, with substantially the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as were applicable to such Patheon Option

as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing, (i) with respect to a number of shares of Purchaser common stock that is equal to (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Patheon Option as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) at an exercise price per share that is equal to (x) the exercise price per share of such Patheon Option divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period (the “Subsequent Offering Period”). The Subsequent Offering Period will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on September 13, 2017.

The foregoing summary description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Purchase Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. A copy of the press release of Thermo Fisher announcing the Offer Closing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
