Gates-backed Advanced Medicine withdraws IPO

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Advanced Medicine Inc., a drug discovery company
backed by Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) co-founder Bill Gates, withdrew
on Wednesday a $172.5 million initial public offering because of unfavourable market
conditions.

The San Francisco-based company, which originally filed for the IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March,
had applied for a Nasdaq listing under the symbol ``ADVM'' (Nasdaq:ADVM - news).

The offering was going to be jointly handled by Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, with assistance from Bear Stearns.

Advanced Medicine's objective is to discover, develop and commercialize new drugs as well as improve existing ones using a
special technology.

Some of its biggest investors includes Gates, one of the world's richest men, who holds a 7.5 percent stake equal to 2.9 million
shares, according to Advanced Medicine's IPO filing.
