IDIX Major Shareholders

[Updated for NVS’ small “true-up” purchase‡ on 2/26/10.]


The percentages shown below are based on 71M diluted shares for valuation purposes
(#msg-40353178), and hence they differ from the percentages reported in SEC filings.


Shares Stake

Novartis 31,320,964 44.2%
JP Sommadossi (CEO) 4,226,000* 6.0%
BB/MPM Capital 3,321,534† 4.7%
GlaxoSmithKline 2,474,527 3.5%


*Includes all of Sommadossi’s 2.2M options, whether or not vested.
†As of 12/31/09.
‡NVS has the contractual right to make small “true up” purchases from time to time to offset option exercises by IDIX’s employees and thereby maintain a constant equity stake. The price paid by NVS for these shares is the average exercise price of the small number of options in question.
