So, we did not get rid of all of the board. What is your view of the new board?

Do we still have to do this?

From the current Genome deal orchestrated by Bruce G.>>>

In addition, for acting as M&A Advisor in a Transaction, the
Company shall issue GSI 400,000 warrants to purchase the
Company Stock exercisable at the closing bid price on the date
of the signing this agreement which will vest upon
consummation of a merger or acquisition transaction. Said
warrants shall have a five-year term and registration shall be
the sole responsibility of the company.

Question?
Would you rather have those 400,000 warrants priced at .20, .30, .40, .50, .60, .70, .80, .90, or $1.00?

Perstorp AB Makes Offer to Acquire Endogen, Inc.

ROCKFORD, Ill., and WOBURN, Mass., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Perstorp AB subsidiary PerBio Science AB and
Endogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENDG - news; BSE: EDG - news) announced today that they have executed a definitive merger
agreement that provides for a cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Endogen, Inc. for a total transaction value of
approximately $13.6 million. PerBio Science AB, which is a leading supplier in several life science product segments, consists
of the American companies Pierce Chemical Company of Rockford, Illinois; Pierce Milwaukee, Inc. of Milwaukee; and
HyClone Laboratories, Inc. of Logan, Utah; and of the Sweden-based company Atos Medical.

PerBio Science's offer relates to the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Endogen, Inc. for $3.75 per share in cash.
The tender offer will be commenced within five business days. The tender offer will be conditional upon, among other things,
there being validly tendered and not withdrawn at least two-thirds of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Endogen, Inc. Upon
the successful completion of the tender offer, a subsidiary of PerBio Science AB will be merged into Endogen, Inc. and any
Endogen, Inc. shares not tendered and purchased in the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive $3.75 per share
in cash.

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, PerBio Science AB has entered into an agreement with directors and
executive officers of Endogen, Inc. whereby they have agreed to tender their outstanding shares in the tender offer.

As part of PerBio Science AB, Endogen, Inc. will be closely affiliated with Pierce Chemical Company. Mr. Robb Anderson,
President of Pierce Chemical Company, said today, ''The merger with Endogen, Inc. will strengthen PerBio Science's position
as a world leader providing biotechnology products for the rapidly growing life science research and drug discovery markets.
Endogen's product portfolio adds to our existing product lines and will enable PerBio Science to expand its offerings of
high-tech products for immunologists, molecular biologists and cell biologists.''

PerBio Science AB (the former Perstorp Life Science Division) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Perstorp AB, a global
chemistry and materials technology corporation located in Perstorp, Sweden. In October 1999, PerBio Science AB is to be
spun off to shareholders and listed on the Stockholm Exchange.

Endogen, Inc. is a supplier of specialty reagents, immunoassay test kits and molecular research products to customers involved
in biomedical research, the biotechnology industry and pharmaceutical drug discovery.

JR,

Cistron shareholders are in essence currently paying for 3 CEO's to manage a $5 million dollar no profit making company.

This is SILLY!

There are just 32 more days left before Genome Securities will refuse to accept any more acquisition/merger/collaboration proposals for Cistron Biotechnology!!!

I wonder how many proposals they have to analyze before they can decide on the best proposal for the shareholders... 10, 20, 50?

Mr. Rothschild. I reread your post #1905 and was pleased to learn that someone from CIST cares enough about shareholders to type out a few lines. I notice you have not posted since then (feb. 99) and wonder if you could give us an update on what is going on, and your plans for CIST.

I am dismayed that things have taken this long, and that so much cash has been bled from CIST for so little return, but am pleased that you seem to be a breath of fresh air for CIST.

Please be an active participant of this board and keep your shareholders better informed than CIST's former officers did.
