Loeb, an individual ("Mr. Loeb" and together with the Management Company and the Offshore Fund, the "Third Point Reporting Persons") and Jason Aryeh, an individual ("Mr. Aryeh" and, together with the Third Point Reporting Persons, the "Reporting Persons"). Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Common Stock" are to shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The Management Company is the investment manager or adviser to a variety of hedge funds and managed accounts (such funds and accounts, collectively, including but not limited to the Offshore Fund, the "Funds"). The Funds directly own the Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates, and the Third Point Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such Common Stock by virtue of their ownership or the authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to dispose of the securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock. Mr. Aryeh may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by JALAA Equities, LP ("JALAA"), JLV Investments, LP, the Jason Aryeh Trust, the Jason Aryeh 2003 Family Trust, the Jason Aryeh IRA, and Ann Schroeder (collectively, the "Aryeh Entities") by virtue of his ability to vote and/or to dispose of the securities held by the Aryeh Entities, including the Common Stock. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. Items 2(a), (b), (c) and (f) are hereby amended by adding thereto the following: (a) Mr. Aryeh is a nominee of the Management Company and the Funds in the pending consent solicitation. (b) The business address of Mr. Aryeh is 34 Sumner Road, Greenwich, CT 06831. (c) The principal business of Mr. Aryeh is the general partner of JALAA. (f) Mr. Aryeh is a United States citizen. ITEM 3. SOURCES AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS AND OTHER CONSIDERATION. Item 3 is hereby amended by adding thereto the following: The Aryeh Entities expended an aggregate of approximately $6,346,859.25 of its own investment capital to acquire the 1,232,650 shares of Common Stock held by it. All Shares were acquired in open market purchases on the Nasdaq National Market. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding thereto the following: As previously announced, the Third Point Reporting Persons plan to conduct shortly a consent solicitation to remove Thomas H. McLain ("Mr. McLain") and other directors from the Board of Directors (the "Board"). In the solicitation, the Reporting Persons will seek stockholder support to replace a majority of the directors of the Company with persons nominated by the Third Point Reporting Persons in order to provide new leadership for the Company with the goal of maximizing stockholder value under the leadership of a new chief executive officer. In conjunction with this solicitation, the Third Point Reporting Persons intend to file a consent statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in which the Third Point Reporting Persons will nominate Mr. Aryeh, Todd Davis, Stephen Kasnet, Timothy Lynch and Stuart Oran to be appointed by the remaining members of the Board to fill any vacancies created by the removal of directors. Pursuant to the Company's Bylaws, any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take a corporate action by written consent must request, by written notice, that the Board fix a record date to establish those stockholders that are entitled to give their consent. The Company's Board must promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date the request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date for the solicitation, which record date must be no more than 10 days after the date of the resolution. The Third Point Reporting Persons intend in the future to deliver to the Company such a written notice in order to seek corporate action by written consent. However, neither this filing nor the filing of a consent statement, whether in preliminary or definitive form, with the SEC shall be deemed a request by the Reporting Persons or any other Company stockholder for the Board to set a record date for the consent solicitation. On October 26, 2006, Mr. Aryeh contacted Mr. McLain to clarify fundamental issues regarding NABI-HB raised on the Company's earnings conference call held the prior day. Mr. Aryeh also advised Mr. McLain that he had agreed to be a nominee of the Third Point Reporting Persons, and that he regretted that the Company's dispute with many of its largest stockholders had come to such an impasse. Later that day, Mr. McLain reached out to Mr. Aryeh and proposed that Mr. Aryeh act as an intermediary to attempt to reach a settlement with the Third Point Reporting Persons. With the consent of the Third Point Reporting Persons, Mr. Aryeh again proposed a settlement offer substantially on the terms previously proposed on September 29, 2006. Discussions continued on October 27, 2006 and ended without an agreement because the parties could not agree on the composition of the strategic action committee (the "SAC"). The Company insisted that the SAC be a committee of five members, consisting of three current Board members and two of the Third Point Reporting Persons' nominees, and the Reporting Persons agreed that the SAC could be a committee of five members if there were a mutual agreement on the fifth member. The Reporting Persons proposed that the SAC be established with four members - two designated by the Board and two of the Management Company's nominees - and that the four members, by majority vote, would choose a fifth member from among the current Board members and, failing agreement in good faith, that the four members would seek to agree in good faith on an independent person not currently on the Board to be added to the Board and the SAC. The discussions ended because the Company required that the fifth member of the SAC be another current member of the Board. Subsequently, on October 30, 2006, the Reporting Persons and the Company renewed discussions, but no settlement has been reached and significant differences between their respective positions remain. * * * * In connection with the consent solicitation, Third Point LLC and certain of its affiliates intend to file a consent statement with the SEC to solicit stockholders of the Company with respect to the removal of a majority of the Board of Directors. THIRD POINT LLC STRONGLY ADVISES ALL STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY TO READ THE CONSENT STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN ANY SUCH CONSENT SOLICITATION. SUCH CONSENT STATEMENT, WHEN FILED, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE ON THE SEC'S WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV.
