`Johnson & Johnson Announces
`
`Definitive Agreement to Acquire
`Cougar Biotechnology, Inc.
`
`--Access to Late-Stage, First-in-Class Prostate
`Cancer Treatment Strengthens Presence in
`Oncology
`
`NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., and LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2009 /PRNewswire-
`FirstCall Via COMTEX News Network/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) and
`Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGRB), a development stage
`biopharmaceutical company with a specific focus on oncology, today announced a
`definitive agreement whereby Cougar Biotechnology will be acquired for
`approximately $1.0 billion in a cash tender offer.
`
`Cougar Biotechnology, which has compounds in development for the treatment of
`prostate cancer, as well as breast cancer and multiple myeloma, will work with
`Ortho Biotech Oncology Research & Development, a unit of Centocor Research &
`Development, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company.
`
`Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson & Johnson will initiate a tender offer,
`through a new wholly-owned subsidiary, to purchase all outstanding shares of
`Cougar Biotechnology at $43 per share. The tender offer is conditioned on the
`tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cougar Biotechnology's common
`stock. The closing is conditioned on clearance under the Hart—Scott—Rodino
`Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions. The $970
`million estimated net value of the transaction is based on Cougar Biotechnology's
`20.8 million shares outstanding, net of estimated cash on hand at closing. The
`boards of directors of both Johnson & Johnson and Cougar Biotechnology have
`approved the transaction.
`
`Cougar Biotechnology is currently conducting two Phase III trials for abiraterone
`acetate, a late stage, first-in-class compound for the treatment of prostate cancer.
`The first Phase III trial is testing abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic,
`castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed after docetaxel-based
`chemotherapy has failed. The second Phase III trial is studying abiraterone acetate

`in patients with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer who have yet to
`receive chemotherapy. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his
`lifetime, and the disease accounts for 10 percent of cancer-related deaths in the
`United States.
`
`"The acquisition of Cougar Biotechnology with its talented team will strengthen our
`growing capabilities toward a leadership position in the global oncology market,"
`said William N. Hait, M.D., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Head, Oncology, Ortho
`Biotech Oncology Research & Development. "We are developing new treatments
`that we anticipate will change the course of cancer treatment by targeting the tumor
`and its microenvironment and thereby will provide a meaningful difference in the
`lives of millions of patients worldwide."
`
`AlaI1 H. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer, President and Founder of Cougar
`Biotechnology, said, "Since the founding of Cougar approximately six years ago, our
`employees have been relentlessly dedicated to the development of innovative
`oncology drugs and the creation of shareholder value. We believe that this
`transaction strongly positions abiraterone acetate for future success with a leading
`healthcare company that has the expertise, resources, dedication and motivation to
`deliver it to the cancer patients who need it."
`
`Upon closing, the transaction is expected to have a dilutive impact to Johnson &
`Johnson's 2009 earnings per share of approximately $.02 to $.03. The transaction is
`expected to close in the third quarter of 2009.
