On February 21, 2014, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 2396638 Ontario Inc. ("Acquisition Sub"), completed the previously announced acquisition of Cangene Corporation, an Ontario corporation, in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2013 (the "Arrangement Agreement"), among Emergent, Acquisition Sub and Cangene. Acquisition Sub paid $222 million in cash, or $3.24 per share (on a fully diluted basis), to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Cangene. The acquisition was funded, in part, by proceeds from an offering by Emergent of its 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Notes"), which closed on January 29, 2014.

Cangene is a Canadian biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of specialty therapeutics, primarily targeting biodefense applications as well as infectious disease, hematology and transplantation.

Additional information and details of the Arrangement Agreement and the Notes, respectively, were previously disclosed in Item 1.01 of Emergent's Form 8-K filed on December 11, 2013 and Item 1.01 of Emergent's Form 8-K filed on January 29, 2014, both of which are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Arrangement Agreement and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2 to Emergent's Form 8-K filed on December 11, 2013.

The representations and warranties of Emergent, Cangene and Acquisition Sub contained in the Arrangement Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties (1) were made only for purposes of the Arrangement Agreement, (2) may be subject to limits or exceptions agreed upon by the contracting parties, (3) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Arrangement Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (4) were made only as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement or other specific dates and (5) have been included in the Arrangement Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Emergent, Cangene or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Additionally, the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and other terms of the Arrangement Agreement were made subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Emergent's or Cangene's public disclosures.

A copy of the Company's press release, dated February 21, 2014, announcing completion of the acquisition is attached to this report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
