On January 15, 2003, NCS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicare, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Omnicare"), closed its $5.50 per Share (as defined below) cash tender offer (the "Offer") for all of the issued and outstanding shares of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), and class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock" and, together with Class A Common Stock, the "Shares") of NCS HealthCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NCS HealthCare"). The Offer expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Tuesday, January 14, 2003. Based on information provided to Omnicare by the Bank of New York, the depositary for the Offer, as of the close of business on January 15, 2003, 17,510,126 shares of Class A Common Stock had been validly tendered in the Offer, which represented approximately 94% of the then-outstanding Class A Common Stock and 5,038,996 shares of Class B Common Stock had been validly tendered in the Offer, which represented 100% of the then-outstanding Class B Common Stock. On January 15, 2003, Purchaser accepted all validly tendered Shares for payment. The Offer was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Omnicare, Purchaser and NCS HealthCare, dated as of December 17, 2002 (the "Merger Agreement"). The description of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The details of the Offer were disclosed in an Offer to Purchase, dated August 8, 2002, as amended by the first Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated December 23, 2002, and the second Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated January 8, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(HHH) and (a)(1)(YYY), respectively, to Purchaser's Schedule TO-T, as amended. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on January 16, 2003, Purchaser was merged (the "Merger") with and into NCS HealthCare with NCS HealthCare surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicare. In the Merger, all Shares not tendered in the Offer were converted into the right to receive the same consideration per Share paid in the Offer, unless such holders of such Shares properly exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law. On the same date, the Class A Common Stock was delisted from the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board and is no longer publicly traded. On January 16, 2003, Omnicare issued a press release announcing consummation of the Merger, the full text of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Following such 2 determination, holders of Shares acquired in the Offer and the Merger (including holders of "in-the-money" options to acquire Shares) will receive the amount per Share, if any, remaining in the escrow account, including any interest on such amount, after payment of the stockholder-plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses (in accordance with the Chancery Court's order) and expenses relating to the establishment of the escrow account.
