EXPLANATORY NOTE

On January 7, 2016, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (BioMarin) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a current report on Form 8-K (the Initial 8-K) to report, that on January 1, 2016, it completed its acquisition of rights to the approved pharmaceutical product referred to as Kuvan® and the investigational medicinal product referred to as pegvaliase, and certain assets related thereto (collectively, the Merck PKU Business), from Ares Trading S.A. (Merck Serono), an indirectly wholly-owned affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (collectively, Merck). This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial 8-K amends and restates Item 9.01 of the Initial 8-K to provide the financial statements and related consent described below, which were not filed with the Initial 8-K and are permitted to be filed by amendment no later than seventy-one (71) calendar days after the Initial 8-K was required to be filed with the SEC.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(a)

Financial statements of businesses acquired

 

BioMarin has concluded that, according to the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 805, Business Combinations, and Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the Merck PKU Business meets the definition of a “business” and exceeds the conditions of significance set forth in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X at the 20% level, but less than the 40% level, and that BioMarin’s acquisition of the Merck PKU Business requires the filing of audited financial statements of the Merck PKU Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 pursuant to the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. BioMarin has been advised by Merck that it is impracticable to prepare complete financial statements in accordance with Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X relating to the Merck PKU Business. In this regard, BioMarin has been advised by Merck that, among other things, the Merck PKU Business did not represent a separate subsidiary, segment or division of Merck, the Merck PKU Business had not been accounted for as a separate entity, subsidiary or division of Merck, and Merck did not manage the Merck PKU Business as a stand-alone business. Merck also advised BioMarin that it had never previously prepared stand-alone financial statements relating to the Merck PKU Business and that it never maintained the distinct and separate accounts necessary to prepare stand-alone financial statements.  As a result, BioMarin is filing audited abbreviated financial statements of the Merck PKU Business, including a statement of assets acquired as of December 31, 2015 and a statement of revenues and direct expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the notes related thereto, in satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to a letter dated February 25, 2016 from the staff of the Division of Corporate Finance of the SEC (the Division), the Division stated that it would not object to BioMarin’s proposal to provide the above-identified financial statements in satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

 

(b)

Pro forma financial information

Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the notes related thereto, are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
