On April 7, 2008, LifeCell Corporation
(
LifeCell
) announced the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 7, 2008, by and among LifeCell, Kinetic Concepts, Inc., a Texas corporation (
KCI
), and Leopard Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of KCI (
Purchaser
), pursuant to which (i) Purchaser will commence a cash tender offer (the
Offer
) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of LifeCell; and (ii) following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into LifeCell (the
Merger
). After the Merger, LifeCell will continue to exist as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCI.
On April 14, 2008, a purported stockholders class action complaint was filed by a stockholder of LifeCell in the Chancery Division of the Superior
Court of New Jersey in Somerset County, naming LifeCell, its directors and KCI as defendants. The complaint alleges causes of action against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with KCIs proposed acquisition of LifeCell
and seeks relief including, among other things, (i) preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting consummation of the Offer and the contemplated Merger and (ii) payment of the plaintiffs costs and expenses, including
attorneys and experts fees. The lawsuit is in its preliminary stage. LifeCell believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend vigorously against it.
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements

defined by the federal securities laws which are based on LifeCells current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated,
projected or implied, including, among other things, risks relating to the expected timing of the completion and financial benefits of the Offer and the Merger. LifeCell undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
