As you have apparently acknowledged (by recommending that NCS stockholders vote against the proposed NCS/Genesis transaction), Omnicare's $3.50 per share offer is clearly superior to the consideration being offered in the proposed NCS/Genesis transaction. We have stated previously, and repeat again here, that we are willing to discuss all aspects of our offer, including the price to be paid to NCS stockholders. As I advised Mr. Pollack, we remain willing to discuss our offer, and we are willing to be convinced that we should modify the offer - including increasing the price to be paid to NCS stockholders. When you are in a position to have such a discussion, please contact us. I can be reached at 859-392-3305, or you can have your advisors call either Alan Hartman of Merrill Lynch (212-449-8585) or Mort Pierce of Dewey Ballantine LLP (212-259-8000). Sincerely, /s/ Joel F. Gemunder Joel F. Gemunder President and Chief Executive Officer cc: Glenn Pollack (Candlewood Partners, LLC) Robert B. Pincus (Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP) SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
