Our common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “MDV.” On December 7, 2006, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the American Stock Exchange was $16.60 per share.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. SEE “ RISK FACTORS” ON PAGE S-2 OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND ON PAGE 1 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE.

We have retained Cowen and Company, LLC, Leerink Swann & Company, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC and Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. to act as co-placement agents for us in connection with the shares offered by this prospectus supplement. We have agreed to pay Cowen and Company, LLC the aggregate placement agents’ fees set forth in the table below.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will use the net proceeds from our sale of the securities for our general corporate purposes, which may include costs of developing our technologies, making additions to our working capital, funding future acquisitions or for any other purpose we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell our common stock to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them and may also sell our common stock to investors directly or through agents. We will name any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our common stock in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell or exchange our common stock directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so.

We may distribute our common stock from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

    at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

    at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

    at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

Table of Contents

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of our common stock, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimburse these persons for certain expenses.

To facilitate the offering of our common stock, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales of our common stock, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more of our common stock than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing our common stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if our common stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.

Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing and trading on the American Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance.

Table of Contents

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF

THE COMPANY’S CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and to our bylaws, copies of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to registration statements previously filed by us. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

General. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could make our acquisition by a third party, a change in our incumbent management, or a similar change of control more difficult, including:

 

    an acquisition of us by means of a tender or exchange offer;

 

    an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or

 

    the removal of a majority or all of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, which are summarized below, are likely to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that these provisions help to protect our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that this benefit outweighs the potential disadvantages of discouraging such a proposal because our ability to negotiate with the proponent could result in an improvement of the terms of the proposal.

Election and removal of directors. Our bylaws provide that the size of the board of directors shall be fixed as determined from time to time by the board and, so long as our company has at least three stockholders, shall be at least three directors. The directors need not be stockholders. The directors are to be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, either with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Stockholder meetings. Our bylaws provide that the stockholders may not call a special meeting of the stockholders of Medivation, Inc. Instead, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the president or the chairman of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the president or the secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors.

Requirements for advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Delaware anti-takeover law. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless the “business combination” or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is defined generally as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

No cumulative voting. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Limitation of liability. As permitted by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

    for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

    for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption of stock; or

 

    for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

As a result of this provision, we and our stockholders may be unable to obtain monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.

Our certificate of incorporation also provides for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The indemnification provided under our certificate of incorporation includes the right to be paid expenses in advance of any proceeding for which indemnification may be payable, provided that the payment of these expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of our company pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the DGCL, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Under our certificate of incorporation, we have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these capacities, or arising out of the person’s fulfilling one of these capacities, and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person against the claim under the provisions of the DGCL. We intend to maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our directors and officers.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the company. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach

of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Article Ninth of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the company provides that the personal liability of the directors of the company shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented.

Article Tenth of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the company provides that company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Indemnification Agreements

We also enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide indemnification to our directors and officers under certain circumstances for acts or omissions which may not be covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Liability Insurance

We have also obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which insures against liabilities that our directors or officers may incur in such capacities.

Commission Position on Indemnification

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and or persons controlling the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
