Presuming that the board responds tomorrow, perhaps MLNM will see a bump on Thursday (assuming that the board confirms GENZ has the superiour offer.)

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

AnorMED Inc. (ANOR) late Tuesday confirmed it received a proposal from Genzyme
Corp. (GENZ) raising its bid for AnorMED to $13.50 a share from $8.55.

The Canadian biotechnology company said it will review Genzyme's $580 million
proposal and have its board determine, after receiving the advice of its
financial and legal advisers, whether or not it constitutes a "superior
proposal" to a deal with Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. (MLNM), which has
agreed to buy AnorMED for $515 million, or $12 a share.

Earlier Tuesday, Genzyme said it is giving AnorMED until Wednesday to
determine if the offer constitutes a superior proposal and until Oct. 17 to
execute a support agreement.
