"We are pleased with the European Commission's decision," said Prof. Dr. Erich R. Reinhardt, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and president and CEO of Siemens Medical Solutions. "Complementing last year's acquisitions of Diagnostic Products Corporation and Bayer Diagnostics, this transaction positions Siemens as a leader in the highly attractive and rapidly growing market for laboratory diagnostics."

Following the expiration of the cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Dade Behring on Wednesday, October 31, 2007, 12:00 midnight (EDT), any remaining shares of Dade Behring will be acquired in a merger at the same price. Upon completion of the acquisition, which is expected during calendar year 2007, the company will be merged with Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics, a U.S.-based subsidiary and part of Siemens Medical Solutions, well ahead of the previously announced schedule for a closing in the first calendar quarter of 2008.
