Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On August 2, 2006, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into exchange agreements with three of its existing noteholders relating to exchanges of an aggregate of 4,064,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $58,345,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5¾% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “exchanges”).  The exchanges are scheduled to be concluded on or before August 9, 2006 and will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof as they will be exchanges by the Company of securities with its existing security holders exclusively in a series of related transactions where no commission or other remuneration was paid.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

See Item 3.02.  The Company expects to incur a non-cash charge of approximately $5.0 million as a result of the exchanges.  This charge is related to the incremental shares to be issued in the transaction over the number that would have been issued upon conversion of the notes under their original terms, and will be reported in the Company’s third quarter 2006 financial results.
