AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 9 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2007, as amended by Amendments No. 1 though 8, 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 $90.00 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.

Best and Final Offer

Items 4, 5 and 11(b) of the Statement, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Section 11—”Background of the Offer; Past Contacts, Negotiations and Transactions” 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 May 9, 2007, Inverness submitted a new offer to acquire Biosite, increasing its offer price from $90.00 per Share by way of a merger to $92.50 per Share by way of a tender offer followed by a merger. On May 14, 2007, Inverness submitted a revised offer to acquire Biosite by way of a cash tender offer. The price contemplated by that Inverness offer is $92.50 per share in cash, plus if the “Acceptance Time” of the Inverness tender offer (as defined in the proposed Inverness merger agreement) does not occur on or prior to the date that is 45 days from the date of the Inverness merger agreement (or the next succeeding business day) (the “Target Date”), an amount of cash equal to $0.015205 per day for each day during the period commencing on the day following the Target Date through the Acceptance Time of the Inverness tender offer. Also on May 14, Biosite sent Beckman a notice that Biosite’s board of directors had determined that Inverness’ latest offer constituted a Superior Proposal. The notice gave Beckman until 12:01 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Friday, May 18, 2007 to respond, should it so choose, to Biosite with a revised proposal. Later that day, Beckman issued a press release announcing that it would not increase its offer price to acquire Biosite beyond its current offer price of $90 per Share, based upon the determination by Beckman that the long-term interests of its shareholders were not best served by increasing the tender offer price.”

Extension of Offer

Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Statement, to the extent they incorporate by reference information contained in the Offer, are hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

“On May 15, 2007, Beckman issued a press release announcing that the Offer has been extended to the end of the day at 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, on Friday, May 18, 2007. This extension conforms the expiration of the Offer to the time at which Biosite is expected to terminate the Merger Agreement and in no way changes the intent of Beckman that its $90.00 per Share offer is its best and final offer. The Depositary has advised Beckman that approximately 299,000 Shares have been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer as of 5:00 pm New York City time, on May 15, 2007. A copy of the press release is filed hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(O) and incorporated herein by reference.”

Miscellaneous

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

“(a)(5)(N) Press Release issued by Beckman Coulter, Inc. on May 14, 2007.”

“(a)(5)(O) Press Release issued by Beckman Coulter, Inc. on May 15, 2007.”

Beckman Coulter Advises it Will Not Increase Its Offer to Acquire

Biosite Beyond $90.00 Per Share

FULLERTON, CA, May 14, 2007 – Beckman Coulter, Inc. (NYSE: BEC) today announced that it would not increase the price offered for shares of the common stock (the “Shares”) of Biosite Incorporated (NASDAQ: BSTE) in Beckman Coulter’s currently pending tender offer beyond the current offer price of $90 per Share. Beckman Coulter believes that the long-term interests of Beckman Coulter stockholders would not be served by increasing the tender offer price.

Scott Garrett, Beckman Coulter’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our priority throughout this process has been to create sustainable value for Beckman Coulter’s shareholders. We continue to believe the combination of Biosite with Beckman Coulter is strategically sound. At $90 per share, our revised merger agreement includes a full and fair price for Biosite, and with all regulatory clearances associated with this transaction already in hand, is highly certain.”

Continued Garrett, “The Board of Directors of Biosite has informed us that they have concluded that the recent offer from Inverness is a superior proposal to the revised merger agreement between Beckman Coulter and Biosite dated May 1, 2007. Although we do not agree with this conclusion, we expect that Biosite will terminate its existing merger agreement with Beckman Coulter and, concurrently, pay Beckman Coulter a termination fee of $54 million.”
