Company Reiterates $3.00 per Share Proposal is Best and Final Offer

(Nasdaq: SGXP) represents its best and final offer for the San Diego-based biotechnology company. On July 8, 2008, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement, whereby Lilly will acquire all of the outstanding shares of SGX common stock at a price of $3.00 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $64.0 million.

In support of the transaction, Lilly refers SGX stockholders to the definitive proxy statement that SGX filed on July 21, 2008.

The background to the merger section of the definitive proxy statement describes the process SGX undertook to explore strategic alternatives and solicit indications of interest. As a result of these reasons, certain SGX stockholders (including certain executive officers, directors and a significant outside shareholder) who beneficially own in the aggregate, approximately 26 percent of the outstanding shares of SGX common stock, entered into a voting agreement with Lilly to vote in favor of the merger.
