Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 26, 2010, Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (“Charles River”) and WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc. (“WuXi”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Arrangement (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Acquisition Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, Charles River will acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of WuXi (the “WuXi Shares”) by way of a scheme of arrangement under Cayman Islands law (the “Scheme”).
In connection with the WuXi shareholders meeting to approve the Scheme, WuXi has prepared a scheme document to be distributed to its shareholders (the “Scheme Document”).
The Scheme Document was furnished by WuXi to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 6-K (and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov) and contains certain unaudited prospective financial information of Charles River on a stand-alone, pre-acquisition basis, which was provided by Charles River’s management to WuXi and the respective financial advisors of WuXi and Charles River prior to the signing of the Acquisition Agreement. This information has not been updated since the time that it was initially prepared and provided to WuXi and the respective financial advisors of WuXi and Charles River. An excerpt of the Scheme Document containing the unaudited prospective financial information of Charles River is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
