“Under circumstances where the maximum number of Clinical Data common shares are issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option, the minimum tender condition would be satisfied only if the shares of Clinical Data common stock, Company Notes and In-The-Money Warrants tendered in the Offer represented, in the aggregate, 35,902,796 shares of Clinical Data common stock on a fully-diluted basis, or approximately 78.2% of the 45,902,795 shares of Clinical Data common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis as of March 3, 2011.”

“Under the terms of the CVR Agreement, neither Forest nor its affiliates will be under any obligation to make any specified level of efforts or expenditures in the development, marketing or commercialization of the Product. Whether the milestones required for payment of the CVR Consideration are met will depend on many factors, some within control of Forest and its subsidiaries and others outside the control of Forest and its subsidiaries.”

(5) The text under the heading “What is the CVR Consideration and how does it work?” in the Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented to include the following paragraph as the penultimate paragraph under such heading:

“The CVR Agreement provides that persons entitled to the CVR Consideration are intended third-party beneficiaries of such agreement. Moreover, the CVR Agreement grants holders of at least 20% of the CVRs the right to request an audit of Parent’s records for purposes of determining whether the sales milestones above have been met. However, your ability to enforce your rights under the CVR Agreement is limited to the extent that you will only have the legal rights of a general unsecured creditor of Parent if Parent does not deliver the funds required to pay the CVR Consideration to the Rights Agent within 30 days following the attainment of a milestone or if you seek to enforce your rights to any portion of the CVR Consideration that has not been paid prior to approximately six months following the applicable payment date. Moreover, the CVR Agreement provides that Parent may amend, without the consent of the CVR holders, the CVR Agreement in certain circumstances, which include (i) providing for a successor rights agent, (ii) curing ambiguities, correcting or supplementing any provision that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in the CVR Agreement, making any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the CVR Agreement (provided that such provisions shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the CVR holders), and (iii) any other amendments for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of the CVR Agreement, unless such addition, elimination or change is materially adverse to the interests of the CVR holders. Parent may also amend the CVR Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to your interests provided that Parent obtains the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the CVRs.”

“If the initial offer period, which is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, April 4, 2011 is extended the Purchaser will not extend the Offer beyond any date on which the special meeting is scheduled to occur. If the special meeting occurs and the required vote to approve the Merger is obtained, then Forest would not extend the expiration of the Offer to any subsequent date.”

(7) The first paragraph under the heading “What is the market value of my Shares as of a recent date?” in the Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented to include the following sentence at the end of such paragraph:

“FLI International LLC (“FLI International”) is a Delaware limited liability company and the sole general partner of Parent.

“On March 25, 2011, Parent contributed all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Purchaser to Dogwood Holding Corp., a newly formed Delaware corporation that is wholly-owned by Parent (“Dogwood,” and together with Forest, Parent, FLI International and the Purchaser, the “Forest Entities”), pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated March 25, 2011, by and among Parent and Dogwood (the “Contribution Agreement”). After giving effect to the contribution of the Purchaser’s outstanding shares pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Purchaser is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Dogwood, and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of each of Parent and Forest. Dogwood’s principal executive offices are located at 909 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4731. The telephone number of Dogwood is (212) 421-7850. Dogwood was formed for the purpose of holding the shares of the Purchaser and facilitating the acquisition of Clinical Data.”

(15) Section 8 – “Certain Information Concerning Parent, the Purchaser and Forest” of the Offer to Purchase is amended by changing each reference to “Parent, the Purchaser and/or Forest” as a group therein to “Parent, the Purchaser, Forest and Dogwood.”

(16) The subsection titled “Merger Agreement” in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

Merger Agreement

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Merger Agreement. The following description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a

 

5


copy of which is filed as Exhibit (d)(1) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO. Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Schedule TO, and any other filings that we make with the SEC with respect to the Offer or the Merger, may be obtained in the manner set forth in Section 8 — “Certain Information Concerning Parent, the Purchaser, and Forest.” For a complete understanding of the Merger Agreement, you are encouraged to read the full text of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement governs the contractual rights among Parent, Purchaser, Forest and Clinical Data in relation to the Offer and the Merger. The Merger Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO to provide Clinical Data’s stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. The terms and information in the Merger Agreement should not be relied on as disclosures about Clinical Data or the Forest Parties without consideration to the entirety of public disclosure by Clinical Data and the Forest Parties as set forth in their respective public reports with the SEC. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties made by and to the parties thereto as of specific dates. The statements embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of that contract between the parties and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of that contract. The representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement were negotiated with the principal purposes of (i) establishing the circumstances under which Purchaser may have the right not to consummate the Offer or the Merger, or Parent or Clinical Data may have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement, and (ii) allocating risk between the parties if those representations and warranties should prove to be inaccurate, rather than for establishing matters as fact. The representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable under federal securities laws.”

(17) The second sentence of the first paragraph of the subsection titled “Contingent Value Right Agreement” in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows

“The former holders of Shares, deferred stock units and certain options to acquire Shares, and the former holders of In-the-Money Warrants and Clinical Data Notes, will be entitled to receive the following cash payments for each Share acquired by Purchaser in the Offer or converted into the right to receive merger consideration in the Merger (or, in the case of deferred stock units and certain options to acquire Shares, and In-the-Money Warrants and Clinical Data Notes, for each Share that would have been issuable upon the exercise or conversion thereof), with each payment conditioned upon the achievement of the applicable milestone related to the commercialization of Viibryd™ and other products containing vilazodone hydrochloride (the “Product”) as follows:”

(18) The second paragraph of the subsection titled “Contingent Value Right Agreement” in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase are each amended and supplemented to include the following sentence at the end of each such paragraph:

“Under the terms of the CVR Agreement, neither Forest nor its affiliates will be under any obligation to make any specified level of efforts or expenditures in the development, marketing or commercialization of the Product. Whether the milestones required for payment of the CVR Consideration are met will depend on many factors, some within control of Forest and its subsidiaries and others outside the control of Forest and its subsidiaries.”

(19) The third paragraph of the subsection titled “Contingent Value Right Agreement” in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented to include the following sentence at the end of such paragraph:

“Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the CVRs may be transferred only in the following limited circumstances: (a) on death, by will or intestacy; (b) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVRs are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee, (c) pursuant to a court order; (d) by operation of law (including a consolidation or merger) or without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity; (e) in the case of CVRs payable to a nominee, from a nominee to a beneficial owner, to the extent allowable by DTC; or (f) at the option of the Holder at any time by abandoning all of its remaining rights in a CVR by transferring the CVR to Parent without consideration therefor.”

(20) The subsection titled “Contingent Value Right Agreement” in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented to insert the following paragraphs before the current last paragraph under such heading:

 

6


“Section 7.6 of the CVR Agreement provides that the persons entitled to the CVR Consideration are intended third-party beneficiaries of the CVR Agreement. Moreover, pursuant to Section 6 of the CVR Agreement, holders of at least 20% of the CVRs will have the right to request an audit by an independent accounting firm of Parent’s records in order to determine whether the milestones triggering payment of the CVR Consideration have been met. If such independent accountant concludes that payment of the CVR Consideration should have been made, then Parent will be required to make payment of such CVR Consideration plus interest, as applicable.

However, the enforcement of the rights of holders of Securities entitled to the CVR Consideration is limited for certain purposes. For example, the CVR Agreement provides that, with respect to any portion of CVR Consideration that remains undistributed for a period of approximately six months following the date a given milestone becomes payable, holders of Securities entitled to such payments may look only to Parent or Forest for such payments, but will be accorded no greater rights against Parent or Forest than general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable law. Additionally, pursuant to Section 5.1 of the CVR Agreement, Parent is entitled under certain circumstances to amend the terms of the CVR Agreement without the consent of the holders of Securities entitled to receive CVR Consideration, for purposes including (i) providing for a successor rights agent, (ii) curing ambiguities, correcting or supplementing any provision that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in the CVR Agreement, making any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the CVR Agreement (provided that such provisions shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the CVR holders), and (iii) any other amendments for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of the CVR Agreement, unless such addition, elimination or change is materially adverse to the interests of the CVR holders. Section 5.2 of the CVR Agreement further permits Parent, with the written consent of holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding CVRs, to enter into amendments to the CVR Agreement, even if such addition, elimination, or change is materially adverse to the interests of the CVR holders.”

(21) Subsection (a) of the first paragraph of Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“unless the Minimum Condition shall have been satisfied, the HSR waiting period shall have expired or been terminated, and the Regulatory Condition shall have been satisfied; and”

(22) Subsection (c) of the first paragraph of Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“unless Clinical Data shall have furnished Parent with a certificate dated as of the date of determination signed on Clinical Data’s behalf by its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (b)(A), (b)(B), and (b)(C) above are satisfied.”

(23) The first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and the Purchaser, and may be asserted by either Parent or the Purchaser at any time from time to time until the Offer shall have expired or been terminated, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions (except that our own action or inaction may not cause a failure of a condition to the Offer) and, except for the Minimum Condition, the foregoing conditions may be waived by Parent or the Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until the Offer shall have expired or been terminated, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and applicable law.”

(25) The subsection titled “Shareholder Litigation” in Section 16 – “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

Shareholder Litigation. On February 25, 2011, a purported shareholder of Clinical Data named Joel Kerr filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Trial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Superior Court Department against the members of Clinical Data’s Board of Directors, Clinical Data, and Forest (the “Kerr Action”).

On March 4, 2011, purported shareholders of Clinical Data named Vinod Podichetty and Robert Kelsey filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the members of Clinical Data’s Board of Directors, Clinical Data, Forest, and the Purchaser (the “Podichetty Action”).

Between March 1 and March 14, 2011, five purported shareholders of Clinical Data named Bradley Wojno, Douglas Staples, Alla Dorodny, Michael A. Toht and Mark Stephen Brodie filed putative class action lawsuits in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, in the aggregate, the members of Clinical Data’s Board of Directors, Clinical Data, Forest, Parent, and the Purchaser (each action respectively styled as Wojno v. Fromkin et al., Staples v. Clinical Data, Inc. et al., Dorodny v. Clinical Data, Inc. et al., Toht v. Clinical Data, Inc. et al., and Brodie v. Fromkin et al.). These five lawsuits subsequently were consolidated under the caption In re Clinical Data, Inc. Shareholders Litigation. On March 11, 2011, the plaintiffs in the consolidated action (the “Delaware Consolidated Action”) filed an amended complaint against members of Clinical Data’s Board of Directors, Clinical Data, Forest, Parent, and the Purchaser.

Each of the plaintiffs in the litigation described above purports to sue on behalf of a class of shareholders of Clinical Data. The complaints filed in each Action allege that the members of Clinical Data’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Clinical Data’s shareholders in connection with the sale of Clinical Data and that Forest aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaints filed in the Podichetty Action and the Delaware Consolidated Action allege, in addition, that Clinical Data and Purchaser aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint filed in the Delaware Consolidated Action alleges, in addition, that Parent aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. Each Complaint seeks, among other relief, to enjoin the Offer. Parent, the Purchaser, and Forest believe that the allegations in all of the complaints lack merit and indent to defend against the claims asserted by the plaintiffs vigorously.

(26) The first paragraph of Section 18 – “Miscellaneous” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“We are not aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the Offer is prohibited by any administrative or judicial action pursuant to any valid state statute. If we become aware of any valid state statute prohibiting the making of the Offer or the acceptance of Shares, Company Notes or In-the-Money Warrants pursuant thereto, we will make a good faith effort to comply with that statute or seek to have such statute declared inapplicable to the Offer. If, after a good faith effort, we cannot comply with any such statute, the Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Securities in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions where applicable laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Purchaser by the Dealer Manager or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction to be designated by the Purchaser.”

(27) The first sentence under the heading “1. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF FOREST” in Schedule I to the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“The name, current principal occupation or employment and material occupations, positions, offices or employment during the past five years of each director and executive officer of Forest are as set forth below.”

(35) Schedule I to the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented to include the following sentences at the end thereof:

“None of Forest, Parent, Purchaser or the above-listed individuals beneficially own Clinical Data securities, except that by virtue of the Support Agreement described in Section 11 — “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements”, each of Forest, Parent and Purchaser may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Clinical Data common stock owned by the securityholders party to the Support Agreement, or that would be acquired by the securityholders party to the Support Agreement through conversion of their Clinical Data notes and warrants. As of February 22, 2011, the stockholders party to the Support Agreement beneficially owned 11,271,500 outstanding shares of Clinical Data common stock, representing approximately 36.32% of all shares of Clinical Data common stock outstanding as of February 17, 2011, and beneficially owned Clinical Data warrants exercisable for 3,824,011 shares of Clinical Data common stock and Clinical Data notes convertible into 6,110,599 shares of Clinical Data common stock. As of February 22, 2011, stockholders party to the Support Agreement beneficially owned 24,038,056 shares of Clinical Data common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis (including for this purpose all options to purchase shares of Clinical Data common stock, whether vested or unvested), representing approximately 52.37% of all shares of Clinical Data common stock as of February 17, 2011 calculated on the same fully diluted basis. The Support Agreement does not require that the Supporting Stockholders exercise their options to

purchase Shares, though if exercised, such Shares would become subject to the Support Agreement and would be required to be tendered in the Offer and, to the extent necessary, voted in favor of the Merger. The securities required to be tendered pursuant to the Support Agreement represent 21,206,110 shares of Clinical Data common stock, approximately 46.20% of all shares of Clinical Data common stock as of February 17, 2011 calculated on the same fully diluted basis described above.

No contents of this Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Forest Parties that it is the beneficial owner of any Clinical Data common stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership thereof is expressly disclaimed.”
