Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

“On December 8, 2011, LabCorp announced that it had reached an agreement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) allowing LabCorp to complete its acquisition of Orchid Cellmark. Under the terms of the proposed consent decree that was accepted by the FTC for public comment, LabCorp is required to divest certain assets of Orchid Cellmark’s U.S. government paternity business following closing of the acquisition of Orchid Cellmark by LabCorp. LabCorp has reached agreement to sell those assets to DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC), a privately held provider of DNA paternity testing.

Acceptance of this proposed consent order completes the review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the FTC and ends the waiting period applicable to the acquisition under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). Termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act satisfies one of the conditions under the Merger Agreement necessary to consummate the acquisition of Orchid Cellmark by LabCorp.

On December 8, 2011, LabCorp issued a press release announcing the acceptance by the FTC of the consent decree. The full text of the press release issued by LabCorp is set forth as Exhibit (a)(5)(T) hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, December 9, 2011, unless further extended.”
