Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed by ViroPharma Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“ViroPharma”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed by ViroPharma with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2008 (the “Prior Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Lev Common Stock”), of Lev Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lev”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Prior Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 1 amends the Prior Schedule 13D as set forth herein. Except as set forth herein, there has been no material change in the information set forth in the Prior Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) – (b) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) – (b). ViroPharma has sole voting and dispositive power over the 9,661,836 Purchased Shares acquired pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which constitute approximately 6.2% of the outstanding shares of Lev Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Lev Common Stock outstanding as represented by Lev in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 8, 2008.

Under the Voting Agreement entered into on July 15, 2008, by and among ViroPharma, Judson Cooper (Chairman of the Board, Executive Vice President and Secretary of Lev) and Joshua Schein (Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Lev) (the “Voting Agreement”), each of Mr. Cooper and Dr. Schein is permitted to transfer up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Lev Common Stock held by him and covered by the Voting Agreement to a charity or charitable foundation provided, that, as a condition precedent to such transfer, another stockholder of Lev who is not a party to the Voting Agreement (an “Additional Stockholder”) agrees in a writing that is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to ViroPharma to be bound by all terms of the Voting Agreement with respect to at least as many shares of capital stock of Lev as are transferred pursuant to the preceding proviso, as though such Additional Stockholder were a stockholder under the Voting Agreement. In accordance with the foregoing provision, on August 22, 2008, Mr. Cooper and Dr. Schein transferred 525,000 shares and 1,900,000 shares of Lev Common Stock, respectively, to a charitable foundation. In connection with such transfers, Mr. Richard B. Stone agreed in writing to be bound by and become a party to the Voting Agreement with respect to an equivalent number of shares of Lev Common Stock owned by him as were so transferred by Mr. Cooper and Dr. Schein, collectively. Each of Mr. Stone, Mr. Cooper and Dr. Schein is hereinafter referred to in this Amendment No. 1 individually as a “Stockholder Party” and collectively as the “Stockholder Parties,” and all references to the Stockholder Parties (individually or collectively) herein and in the Prior Schedule 13D shall be deemed to refer to Mr. Stone, Mr. Cooper and Dr. Schein.

By virtue of the Voting Agreement, ViroPharma may be deemed to share with the Stockholder Parties the power to vote or direct the voting of an aggregate of 36,421,817 shares of Lev Common Stock, consisting of an aggregate of 32,766,917 issued and outstanding shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder Parties and 3,654,900 shares issuable upon the exercise of currently exercisable stock options beneficially owned by Mr. Cooper or Dr. Schein (collectively, the “Voting Agreement Shares”), but only with respect to the matters to be voted on by the Lev stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement or specified Competing Transactions (as defined in the Voting Agreement). ViroPharma is not entitled to any other rights with respect to the Voting Agreement Shares and does not have any right to dispose or direct the disposition of the Voting Agreement Shares or vote or direct the voting of the Voting Agreement Shares with respect to any other matters to be voted on by the Lev stockholders, except for the restrictions described in Item 6 of the Prior Schedule 13D. The Voting Agreement Shares represent approximately 22.9% of the outstanding shares of Lev Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Lev Common Stock outstanding as represented by Lev in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 8, 2008.

The Purchased Shares and the Voting Agreement Shares represent, in the aggregate, approximately 29.0% of the outstanding shares of Lev Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Lev Common Stock outstanding as represented by Lev in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 8, 2008.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, ViroPharma hereby states that this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that ViroPharma is, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of the Voting Agreement Shares, and ViroPharma expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Voting Agreement Shares.

 

1


To the best knowledge of ViroPharma, no shares of Lev Common Stock are beneficially owned by any of the persons listed on Annex A to the Prior Schedule 13D.
