SECURITY AND ISSUER This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule 13D dated as of July 18, 1995 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 1995 relates to the ownership of shares of the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 2292 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008. This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Section 13(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13D-2(a) thereunder to disclose the acquisition of an additional 408,607 shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 18, 1995 between the Issuer and Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND This Amendment is filed by Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, a corporation organized under the laws of Germany ("Boehringer Ingelheim"). Boehringer Ingelheim is an international pharmaceutical company which has substantial experience, expertise, technology and intellectual property rights in and related to the development and commercialization of human and animal diagnostic products and therapeutic drugs. Its principal office is located at D-55216 Ingelheim/Rhein, Germany. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of (a) each executive officer and director of Boehringer Ingelheim, (b) each person controlling Boehringer Ingelheim and (c) each executive officer and director of each person ultimately in control of Boehringer Ingelheim (collectively the "Control Persons") are set forth in Attachment A. There have been no criminal proceedings against Boehringer Ingelheim or any of the Control Persons during the last five years. Neither Boehringer Ingelheim nor any of the Control Persons have been a party to any civil proceeding resulting in a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining activities subject to, or finding a violation of Federal or state securities laws during the last five years. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION In July 1995, Boehringer Ingelheim obtained 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Initial Shares") by means of a private placement in consideration of cash in the amount of $28,500,000 plus a license for certain technology owned by Boehringer Ingelheim. The source of the cash portion of the purchase consideration was Boehringer Ingelheim's working capital. 4 Page 4 of 7 Pages On December 2, 1996, Boehringer Ingelheim purchased the Additional Shares pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement in consideration of cash in the amount of $10,000,000. The source of the cash consideration was Boehringer Ingelheim's working capital. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION The Initial Shares and the Additional Shares were acquired in connection with a collaboration between the Issuer and Boehringer Ingelheim in the research, development and commercialization of potential products in the field of cellular adhesion for the treatment of immune or non-immune based inflammatory diseases. By purchasing the shares, Boehringer Ingelheim desires in part to assist the Issuer in financing its share of the costs of such collaborative research, development and commercialization. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim is obligated to purchase, and the Issuer is obligated to sell, an indeterminate number of additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that subject to certain exceptions Boehringer Ingelheim will not, directly or indirectly, (i) without the prior consent of a majority of the Board, acquire (or offer or agree to acquire) any Issuer Common Stock or Preferred Stock with equivalent voting rights, or options, convertible securities or other rights to acquire such stock (collectively "Voting Stock") if, as a result, Boehringer Ingelheim would beneficially own more than 20% of the then outstanding Voting Stock; (ii) directly or indirectly solicit proxies or consent or become a participant in a solicitation, or (iii) transfer to any third party, other than its affiliates or associates, officers, directors or employees, the right to vote any of the Issuer's Voting Stock except in connection with the transfer of ownership of the Voting Stock for fair value. These provisions terminate (i) if Boehringer Ingelheim owns less than 2% of the Voting Stock, (ii) if Boehringer Ingelheim makes a tender offer to purchase 100% of the then outstanding Voting Stock and such offer is accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the Voting Stock not owned directly or indirectly by Boehringer Ingelheim, (iii) if any person or group, excluding Boehringer Ingelheim, makes a bona fide offer to acquire Voting Stock of the Issuer which would, if successful, result in the bidder's beneficial ownership of at least 15% of the then outstanding Voting Stock, or (iv) upon the fifth anniversary of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement further grants to Boehringer Ingelheim the right to purchase its pro rata share of Voting Stock in certain financings by the Issuer in which Voting Stock is sold to investors for cash not in connection with any other financing transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim also is entitled to designate a representative reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer to be nominated for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors. 5 Page 5 of 7 Pages ITEM 5.
