CB Diagnostics Holding AB is the holding company for the Phadia group (“Phadia”), a global leader in allergy and autoimmunity diagnostics.

     In consideration for the outstanding share capital of CB Diagnostics Holding, Thermo Fisher paid the Seller approximately €1.057 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and repaid certain indebtedness of approximately €1.412 billion owed by Phadia to the Seller and third party lenders (the “Debt Repayment Amount,” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Purchase Price”). €75 million of the Cash Consideration has been deposited into an escrow account for a limited period of time to satisfy any claims brought by Thermo Fisher for breaches of warranties and covenants under the Purchase Agreement and the accompanying warranty deed, entered into on May 19, 2011 and amended on August 23, 2011 (as amended, the “Warranty Deed”), among Thermo Fisher, Igenza Cin AB, the Michael Land Family Trust and certain members of the management of Phadia.

     The brief description of the Purchase Agreement and the Warranty Deed set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Warranty Deed, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, and 2.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

     Thermo Fisher obtained funds for payment of the Purchase Price through the issuance on August 16, 2011 of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Senior Notes due 2016 and $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.600% Senior Notes due 2021 in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-166176) and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement related to the offering of such notes, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which transactions are collectively referred to as the “Notes Offering.” The foregoing description of the Notes Offering does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the Notes Offering contained in Item 1.01 of Thermo Fisher’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2011, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

     Thermo Fisher obtained additional funds for payment of the Purchase Price as further described under Item 2.03 below, which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     Between August 16 and August 18, 2011, Thermo Fisher issued a total of $1.0 billion of commercial paper notes (the “Initial CP Notes”) under its previously reported U.S. commercial paper program to finance a portion of the Purchase Price. The maturities of the Initial CP Notes are between August 29, 2011 and July 16, 2012. The weighted average yield of the Initial CP Notes, including issuance costs, is 0.4407%.

Hogan Lovells

3.	REMEDIABLE BREACHES

4.	SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS
	The Contributing Parties are not liable in respect of a Claim:
4.1	to the extent that the matter giving rise to the Claim would not have arisen but for, or is increased as a result of:

(b)	the Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that each member of the Purchaser Group will, provide to the Contributing Parties and their advisers reasonable access to premises and personnel during business hours and to relevant assets, documents and records within the power or control of each member of the Purchaser Group for the purposes of investigating the matter and enabling the Contributing Parties to take the action referred to in paragraph (d);

(d)	the Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that each member of the Purchaser Group will take any action and institute any proceedings, and give any information and assistance, as the Contributing Parties may reasonably request to:

(ii)	enforce against a person (other than a Management Party) the rights of a member of the Purchaser Group in relation to the matter; or

and in each case on the basis that the Contributing Parties shall indemnify the Purchaser on demand against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of a request or nomination by the Contributing Parties;

(e)	the Purchaser shall not, and shall ensure that no member of the Purchaser Group will, admit liability in respect of, or compromise or settle, the matter without the prior written consent of the Contributing Parties; and
(f)	the Contributing Parties shall not admit liability in respect of, or compromise or settle, the matter without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

8.1	If the Contributing Parties pay to a member of the Purchaser Group an amount in respect of a Claim and a member of the Purchaser Group subsequently recovers from another person an amount which is referable to the matter giving rise to the Claim:
(a)	if the amount paid by the Contributing Parties in respect of the Claim is more than the Sum Recovered, the Purchaser shall immediately pay to the Warrantors the Sum Recovered; and
(b)	if the amount paid by the Contributing Parties in respect of the Claim is less than or equal to the Sum Recovered, the Purchaser shall immediately pay to the Contributing Parties an amount equal to the amount paid by the Contributing Parties, less the amount (if any) of any loss not recovered from the other person by reason of any liability cap or other limitation to which such recovery was subject.
8.2	For the purposes of paragraph 8.1 of this Schedule 3, Sum Recovered means an amount equal to the total of the amount recovered from the other person plus any repayment supplement in respect of the amount recovered from the person under section 825 of the Taxes Act plus any interest in respect of the amount recovered from the person less all reasonable costs incurred by a member of the Purchaser Group in recovering the amount from the person.

Hogan Lovells

9.	MITIGATION
	Nothing in this Schedule 3 restricts or limits the Purchaser’s general obligation at law to mitigate any loss or damage which it may incur in consequence of a matter giving rise to a Claim.
10.	PROVISION OF INFORMATION
	If, at any time after the date of this Deed, the Contributing Parties want to insure against its liabilities in respect of Claims, the Purchaser shall subject to any obligation of confidentiality on the part of the Purchaser provide (at the Warrantors’ expense) such information as a prospective insurer may reasonably require before effecting the insurance.
11.	PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION
	Upon becoming aware of a Claim, the Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that the Company will use all reasonable endeavours to preserve all documents, records, correspondence, accounts and other information whatsoever relevant to a matter which may give rise to such Claim.
12.	GENERAL
	Nothing in this Schedule 3 shall have the effect of limiting or restricting any liability of any Management Party in respect of a Claim arising as a result of any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by that Management Party.
