Other Events ------------ Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation announced today that it has acquired a US distribution facility located in Buffalo Grove, Illinois just north of Chicago, from Novartis Pharmaceutical Company. There is an experienced management and operational staff in place and the Company has begun implementing its own distribution systems. It is expected that the facility will be fully operational during 1998. In the past, Roberts outsourced all its manufacturing and distribution functions. The Company commented that the acquisition of a distribution center complements its purchase of a manufacturing facility in July 1997, and given the Company's existing drug development and sales abilities, Roberts is now well on track toward becoming a fully integrated pharmaceutical company. 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.
