Other Events ------------ Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation announced that it has completed the purchase of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility from Searle Canada, a unit of Monsanto Company. In addition to existing manufacturing and packaging operations, the 100,852 square foot facility includes warehouse, administrative, and QC/QA laboratory space. The facility, located in Oakville Ontario, is approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Health Protection Branch of Canada. Roberts has historically outsourced all its manufacturing and packaging functions. The Company anticipates several benefits with the purchase of the Oakville facility, which will include substantial cost savings through reduced cost of goods; lower inventory levels and greater flexibility to match product supply with demand; and the integration of Roberts Pharmaceutical Canada from leased space in Mississauga, Ontario to the Oakville site. Plans have been initiated to effect transfer of production of certain over-the-counter products from third party manufacturers to Oakville in the second half of 1997. This will be followed by a phase-in of the Company's Canadian, U.K. and U.S. prescription products. Also, Searle has agreed to lease back space from Roberts for a time. Roberts and Searle have agreed in principle for Roberts to fulfill certain of Searle's packaging and clinical supply requirements. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
