WHEREAS, Plaintiff Arnold Wandel filed a Complaint on July 23, 2008 against Defendants Herbert W. Boyer, Ph.D., William M. Burns, Erich Hunziker, Ph.D., Jonathan K.C. Knowles, Ph.D., Arthur D.

Sanders, M.D., Jonathan K.C. Knowles, Ph.D., William M. Burns, Erich Hunziker, Ph.D., Herbert W. Boyer, Ph.D., Debra L. Reed, Genentech, Inc., and Roche Holding AG ("Gottdiener action"); WHEREAS, on August 22, 2008, the Court determined that the Wandel and McCarthy Plan actions are related actions; and on September 15, 2008, the Court determined that both of the aforementioned actions are related to the Gottdiener action; WHEREAS, the Court set the initial case management conferences in these three related cases for November 21, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.; WHEREAS, the claims in these three related actions all arise out of Roche Holdings, Inc.'s July 21, 2008 proposal to acquire Genentech, Inc. for $89.00 per share ("Roche proposal"); WHEREAS, Genentech, Inc. appointed a special committee to consider the Roche proposal ("Genentech Special Committee"); WHEREAS, on August 13, 2008, the Genentech Special Committee unanimously concluded that Roche's proposal to acquire all of the shares of Genentech not owned by Roche for $89.00 per share substantially undervalues Genentech and, therefore, the Special Committee does not support the proposal; WHEREAS, based on the fact that Roche has not made any other offer, the undersigned parties believe that the date for the initial case management conference should be extended;
