AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Statement”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on April 5, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 on April 9, 2007, by (i) Beckman Coulter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Beckman”), and (ii) Louisiana Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beckman, relating to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, together with the associated rights to purchase series A participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Shares” and each, a “Share”), of Biosite Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Biosite”), at a price of $85.00 per Share in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”), less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Statement.

Amendment to Offer to Purchase

Item 5 of the Statement, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Section 11—“Background of the Merger” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end of the subsection captioned “Background of the Offer”:

“On April 9, 2007, Mr. Garrett sent a letter to Biosite’s board of directors again reaffirming Beckman’s commitment to acquire Biosite under the terms of the Merger Agreement, asserting that the April 4th letter from Inverness did not constitute an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) and that the Inverness letter contemplates an offer that would not reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below). Mr. Garrett’s letter highlighted the conditional nature of Inverness’ indication of interest in making an offer as well as its financing letters. On the following day, Beckman issued a press release making these same points public and waiving, in this instance, the 48 hour notice period that Biosite is required to provide Beckman under the Merger Agreement prior to engaging or participating in discussions or negotiations with, or furnishing any information to, Inverness or any of its representatives or financing sources. The press release was followed by a letter from Mr. Garrett to Mr. Blickenstaff formally waiving such 48 hour notice period.”

Miscellaneous

Item 12 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

 

“(a)(5)(H)   Press Release issued by Beckman Coulter, Inc. on April 10, 2007.
  (a)(5)(I)   Letter from Beckman Coulter, Inc. to Biosite Incorporated dated April 10, 2007.”
