(1)
This registration statement relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (BioSante), issuable to holders of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.10 per share, of ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ANI), pursuant to the amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 12, 2013, among BioSante, ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante, and ANI.

(2)
Based on the estimated maximum number of shares of BioSante common stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and calculated as the difference between: (a) the quotient of (i) the sum of: (1) 24,422,240, the number of shares of BioSante common stock issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2013; and (2) 332,561, which is the product of 0.32 and the number of shares of BioSante common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued by BioSante in August 2012, divided by (ii) 0.43, minus (b) the sum of: (i) 24,422,240, the number of shares of BioSante common stock issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2013; and (ii) 332,561, which is the product of 0.32 and the number of shares of BioSante common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued by BioSante in August 2012.

(3)
Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(f) of the Securities Act. BioSante common stock is being offered in exchange for shares of capital stock of ANI, each with a par value of $0.10 per share. ANI is a private company and no market exists for its securities and ANI has an accumulated capital deficit; therefore, pursuant to Rule 457(f)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is one-third of the aggregate par value of ANI's capital stock being acquired in the proposed merger, which is calculated by multiplying one-third of the product of the par value of $0.10 per share with 2,927,215, the maximum number of shares of ANI capital stock that can be exchanged in the merger (computed as of April 25, 2013, the latest practicable date prior to the date of filing this registration statement, and inclusive of (i) all shares of ANI capital stock issuable upon conversion of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of ANI capital stock and (ii) all shares of ANI series D preferred stock issuable pursuant to transaction bonus agreements with ANI's executive officers and an additional ANI employee).

(4)
Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $136.40 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price.



             The Registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PROPOSED MERGER—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To our Stockholders:

        On April 12, 2013, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BioSante) and ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANI), entered into an amended and restated merger agreement pursuant to which ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante, will merge with and into ANI with ANI continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. The boards of directors of BioSante and ANI have approved unanimously the merger agreement and the merger and believe that the combination of BioSante and ANI will create more value than either company could achieve individually. The combined company that will result from the merger will be a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ANI capital stock they hold, that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. Following completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and BioSante stockholders will own 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

        BioSante common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market and trades under the symbol "BPAX". On [                    ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the closing sale price of BioSante common stock was $[          ] per share. ANI is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company.

         This joint proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the special meeting of stockholders of BioSante to consider the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and other matters and the special meeting of stockholders of ANI to consider the merger and related business. Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend your respective company's meeting of stockholders, please submit your proxy as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the applicable meeting. In addition to being a proxy statement for both BioSante and ANI, this document is also a prospectus to be used by BioSante when issuing BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders in connection with the merger. BioSante and ANI encourage you to read the entire document carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 38 for a discussion of the risks related to the merger, the combined company following completion of the merger, and the business and operations of each of BioSante and ANI.

        BioSante and ANI are excited about the opportunities that the proposed merger brings to both BioSante and ANI stockholders and thank you for your consideration and continued support.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
IN LIEU OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held On [                    ], 2013

Dear BioSante Stockholder:

        A special meeting of the stockholders of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will be held on [                    ], 2013 at 8:00 a.m., local time, at BioSante's corporate office located at 111 Barclay Boulevard, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069, for the following purposes:

        Stockholders also will consider and act on any other matters that may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, including any procedural matters incident to the conduct of the special meeting.

        The special meeting will be in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders of BioSante and thus the items of business to be considered by BioSante stockholders at the special meeting include the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013. BioSante stockholders should understand, however, that if the merger with ANI is completed, the effect of the approval of BioSante Proposals No. 2 and 3 will be limited since the composition of the BioSante board of directors will be changed upon completion of the merger and it is likely that the combined company may switch auditors immediately or shortly after completion of the merger.

        The board of directors of BioSante has fixed [                    ], 2013 as the record date for the determination of BioSante stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the BioSante special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the BioSante special meeting. Only holders of record of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock at the close of business on the BioSante record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the BioSante special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, BioSante had 24,422,240 shares of common stock and 65,211 shares of BioSante class C special stock outstanding and entitled to vote.


Table of Contents

         Your vote is important. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for approval of BioSante Proposals No. 1, 3, 4 and 5. The affirmative vote of holders of a plurality of the BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for approval of BioSante Proposal No. 2. The approval of BioSante Proposal No. 1 is not conditioned upon the approval of BioSante Proposals No. 2, 3, 4 or 5, and the approval of BioSante Proposals No. 2, 3, 4 or 5 is not conditioned upon the approval of BioSante Proposal No. 1.

         Even if you plan to attend the BioSante special meeting in person, BioSante requests that you complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card and thus ensure that your shares will be represented at the BioSante special meeting if you are unable to attend. If you sign, date and mail your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote in favor of BioSante Proposals No. 1 through 5. If you fail to return your proxy card, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the BioSante special meeting. If you do attend the BioSante special meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

         The BioSante board of directors has determined that the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger is advisable and in the best interests of BioSante and its stockholders. The BioSante board of directors unanimously has approved the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, and recommends that BioSante stockholders vote "FOR" the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, "FOR" all seven of the nominees for director in BioSante Proposal No. 2 and "FOR" all other proposals.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

         The following section provides answers to frequently asked questions about the merger. This section, however, only provides summary information. These questions and answers may not address all issues that may be important to you as a BioSante or ANI stockholder. You should read carefully the entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including each of the annexes.

Q:
What is the merger?

A:
BioSante, a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante referred to as "Merger Sub", and ANI have entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, that contains the terms and conditions by which BioSante's and ANI's businesses will be combined. In the merger, Merger Sub, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante that was formed for the purpose of the merger, will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante upon completion of the merger. This transaction is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the "merger." The amended and restated agreement and plan of merger is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the "merger agreement."

Q:
Why are BioSante and ANI proposing to effect the merger?

A:
BioSante and ANI both believe that the combination of BioSante's and ANI's businesses through the merger will create more value than either BioSante or ANI could achieve individually. The combined company that will result from the merger (consisting of BioSante and its wholly owned subsidiary, ANI, but referred to as the combined company in this joint proxy statement/prospectus) will be a fully integrated specialty branded and generic pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals. For a more complete description of the reasons for the merger, see the sections entitled "The Merger—BioSante Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 118 and "The Merger—ANI Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 123.

Q:
What will ANI stockholders receive in the merger?

A:
Upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ANI capital stock they hold, that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. See the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration and Adjustment" beginning on page 146. Upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will receive shares of BioSante common stock representing an aggregate of 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

Table of Contents

Q:
How will BioSante stockholders be affected by the merger?

A:
The merger will have no effect on the number of shares of BioSante common stock or BioSante class C special stock held by BioSante stockholders as of immediately prior to completion of the merger. However, it is expected that upon completion of the merger shares of BioSante common stock will represent only an aggregate of 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.
Q:
Can the value of the transaction change between now and the time the merger is completed?

A:
Yes. The market value of BioSante common stock can change between now and the time the merger is completed. The exchange ratios, however, are fixed and will not change even if the market value of BioSante common stock changes. Therefore, the market value of the total

the approval by the requisite vote of BioSante stockholders of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger;

the adoption of the merger agreement, including the merger, by the requisite vote of ANI stockholders;

the absence of any legal prohibition to completing the merger;

the effectiveness of, and the absence of any stop order with respect to, the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part;

the continued listing of BioSante's common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market through the completion of the merger; and

Table of Contents

Q:
What will happen to BioSante or ANI if, for any reason, the merger does not close?

A:
BioSante and ANI have invested significant time and incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant expenses related to the proposed merger. In the event the merger does not close, each of BioSante and ANI will review all alternatives then available to it. Failure to complete the merger could result in other adverse effects, as discussed in "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Merger" beginning on page 38.

Q:
When do BioSante and ANI expect the merger to be completed?

A:
The merger will be completed upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, but such filing only will be made upon the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible) of the conditions specified in the merger agreement, including receipt of the necessary approvals of BioSante and ANI stockholders at their respective special meetings and other customary closing conditions. It is possible that factors outside the control of BioSante and ANI could result in the merger not being completed or being completed later than expected. Although the exact timing of completion of the merger cannot be predicted with certainty, BioSante and ANI currently anticipate completing the merger at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of 2013.

Q:
How does this proposed merger transaction differ from the prior proposed merger transaction between BioSante and ANI?

A:
The primary changes between this merger transaction and the prior merger transaction between BioSante and ANI are:

the current merger is a merger of Merger Sub with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante upon completion of the merger, as opposed to a direct merger between BioSante and ANI.

the required vote of BioSante stockholders is a majority of the shares of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR BIOSANTE STOCKHOLDERS
ABOUT THE BIOSANTE SPECIAL MEETING

         The following section provides answers to frequently asked questions about the BioSante special meeting of stockholders. This section, however, only provides summary information. These questions and answers may not address all issues that may be important to you as a BioSante stockholder. You should read carefully the entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including each of the annexes.

Q:
What proposals will be voted on at the BioSante special meeting?

A:
The following proposals will be voted on at the BioSante special meeting:

The first proposal to be voted upon is to authorize BioSante to issue shares of its common stock in the merger as contemplated by the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 1—The Issuance of Shares of BioSante Common Stock in the Merger," "The Merger" and "The Merger Agreement" beginning on pages 92, 103 and 146, respectively, for a more detailed description of the transaction.

The second proposal to be voted upon is to elect seven persons to serve as directors until BioSante's next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. See "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 2—Election of Directors" beginning on page 93 for a more detailed description of the election.

The third proposal to be voted upon is to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013. See "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 3—Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" beginning on page 94 for a more detailed description of the ratification.

The fourth proposal to be voted upon is to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation payable to certain executive officers of BioSante under existing arrangements in connection with the merger. See "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 4—Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation" beginning on page 96 for a more detailed description of the advisory vote.

The fifth proposal to be voted upon is to adjourn the BioSante special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the first proposal. See "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 5—Approval of Possible Adjournment of the BioSante Special Meeting" beginning on page 97 for a more detailed description of the possible adjournment.

Q:
Will BioSante hold a separate annual meeting of stockholders this year in addition to the BioSante special meeting?

A:
No. The BioSante special meeting will be held in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders of BioSante. Thus, in addition to the proposals that relate to the proposed merger being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders, the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013 also are being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting. BioSante stockholders should understand, however, that if the merger is completed, the effect of the approval of these two proposals will be limited, since the composition of the BioSante board of directors will be changed upon completion of the merger and it is likely

ANI Merger Sub, Inc.

        ANI Merger Sub, Inc., which is referred to as "Merger Sub" in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, is a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante that was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013. Merger Sub does not engage in any operations and exists solely to facilitate the merger. If the merger is completed, Merger Sub will cease to exist following its merger with and into ANI.

        Merger Sub's corporate offices are located at 111 Barclay Boulevard, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069 and its telephone number is (847) 478-0500.


Summary of the Merger

        If the merger is completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. After the merger, BioSante and its wholly owned subsidiary, ANI, will operate as a combined company. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the merger agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the merger. For a more complete discussion of the merger, see the sections entitled "The Merger" and "The Merger Agreement" beginning on pages 103 and 146, respectively.


Reasons for the Merger

        The combined company that will result from the merger will be a fully integrated specialty branded and generic pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals. BioSante and ANI both believe that the combination of the two companies will be able to create more value than either company could achieve individually.

        Each of the boards of directors of BioSante and ANI also considered other reasons for the merger, as described herein. For example, the BioSante board of directors considered, among other reasons:

    The consideration of BioSante's anticipated near- and long-term operations and performance on an independent, stand-alone basis, the substantial additional financing that would be needed to sustain such operations assuming BioSante continued its LibiGel development program or in-licensed or acquired additional technologies or product candidates, and the risk that such substantial additional financing could not be obtained on terms favorable to BioSante, or at all, in light of a volatile economy and uncertain capital markets.

    The consideration of strategic alternatives to the proposed merger with ANI, including other merger transactions with other companies, continuing to operate BioSante on a stand-alone basis, in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies or product candidates and undertaking a liquidation of BioSante, and the belief that the proposed merger with ANI would provide BioSante stockholders with a greater potential opportunity to realize a return on their investment than any other alternative reasonably available to BioSante and its stockholders.

    The belief that the combination of BioSante's and ANI's businesses would create more value for BioSante stockholders in the long-term than BioSante could create as an independent, stand-alone company, given the anticipated costs, timing and risks associated with continuing the development of LibiGel and other BioSante products in development and/or in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies or product candidates, and the uncertain capital markets, which BioSante historically has relied upon to raise additional financing to fund its product development efforts.

Table of Contents

    Historical and current information concerning ANI's business, financial performance, financial condition, operations and management and the results of a due diligence investigation of ANI conducted by BioSante's management and advisors.

    The opportunity for BioSante stockholders to participate in the potential future value of the combined company, including future potential value from ANI's established contract manufacturing operations, niche generic prescription products and products in development.

        In addition, the ANI board of directors considered, among other reasons, the following:

    That the existing BioSante product lines fit well within the ANI platform of hormone-based products.

    That ANI would be able to leverage its knowledge of the hormone-based products market to further the existing BioSante product lines.

    The fact that the remaining cash resources expected to be available at the closing of the merger would provide the combined company with enough capital to enable it to meet its operational needs beyond 2013.

    The belief that the combination of the two businesses will result in accelerated growth and more value for the ANI stockholders than the ANI business could create on its own, given the combination of the product lines of the two companies, ANI's need for additional capital and the well-capitalized balance sheet that the combined company will have.

    The belief that potential future license and other royalty fees due to BioSante for its FDA-approved male testosterone gel and other products could generate significant future cash flow for the combined company.

    The belief that the combined company will have access to a greater number of capital market opportunities as a public company than ANI would have as a privately held company.

    The exchange ratios in the merger will result in the ANI stockholders owning 57 percent of the outstanding shares of the combined company following the merger.

        For a more complete discussion of BioSante's and ANI's reasons for the merger, see the sections entitled "The Merger—BioSante Reasons for the Merger" and "The Merger—ANI Reasons for the Merger" beginning on pages 118 and 123, respectively.


Opinion of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.

        In connection with the merger, the BioSante board of directors received a written opinion, dated April 12, 2013, of BioSante's financial advisor, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., referred to as "Oppenheimer & Co." or "BioSante's financial advisor," as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to BioSante of the exchange ratios used in the merger. The full text of Oppenheimer & Co.'s written opinion, dated April 12, 2013, which describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H. Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion was provided to the BioSante board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the exchange ratios from a financial point of view to BioSante and does not address any other aspect of the merger. Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion does not address, among other things, the underlying business decision of BioSante to effect the merger, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for BioSante or the effect of any other transaction in which BioSante might engage and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the merger. For a more complete discussion of

Risk Factors

        Both BioSante and ANI are subject to various risks associated with their respective businesses and financial condition. In addition, the merger, as well as the possibility that the merger may not be completed, pose a number of risks to BioSante and ANI and their respective stockholders, including the following risks:

    The issuance of shares of BioSante common stock to the ANI stockholders in the merger will dilute substantially the voting power of current BioSante stockholders.

    The announcement and pendency of the merger could have an adverse effect on the price of BioSante common stock and/or the business, financial condition, results of operations, or business prospects for BioSante and/or ANI.

    Failure to complete the merger could impact negatively BioSante's and ANI's respective businesses, financial condition or results of operations or BioSante's stock price.

    Some of the directors and executive officers of BioSante and ANI have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the other BioSante and ANI stockholders.

    The merger agreement and the voting agreements contain provisions that could discourage or make it difficult for a third party to acquire BioSante or ANI prior to completion of the merger.

    Completion of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger by BioSante stockholders and approval of the merger agreement by the ANI stockholders. If any of the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or, where waiver is permissible, not waived, the merger will not be completed.

    The combined company's stock price may be volatile, and the market price of the combined company's common stock may decline in value following the merger.

        In addition, BioSante, ANI and the combined company are subject to various risks associated with their respective businesses. These risks are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 38. BioSante and ANI both encourage you to read and consider all of these risks carefully.


Merger Consideration

        Upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ANI capital stock they hold, that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. Upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will receive shares of BioSante common stock representing an aggregate of 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

        Pursuant to the terms of ANI's certificate of incorporation, before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of any other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series D preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $30.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation) plus all declared but unpaid dividends. The exchange ratios in the merger agreement reflect these preferential payments. As a result of such provisions, it is likely that holders of shares of other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger.

 

19


Table of Contents

        For illustrative purposes only, if the merger had been completed on April 15, 2013, the exchange ratio for the ANI series D preferred stock (including shares that would have been issued to certain executive officers of ANI immediately prior to completion of the merger) would have been approximately 12.2901 shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series D preferred stock and the exchange ratio for the ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock would have been zero. Therefore, if the merger had been completed on such date and you owned 1,000 shares of ANI series D preferred stock as of such date, you would have had the right to receive 12,290 shares of BioSante common stock in exchange for your shares of ANI series D preferred stock. If you owned 1,000 shares of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock as of such date, you would not be entitled to receive any shares of BioSante common stock for such shares of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock.

        No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued to ANI stockholders in connection with the merger. Instead, ANI stockholders will be entitled to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of BioSante common stock that they otherwise would be entitled to receive in connection with the merger.

        There will be no adjustment to the total number of shares of BioSante common stock that ANI stockholders will be entitled to receive as a result of changes in the market price of BioSante common stock or for any other reason except as a result of changes to the number of shares of outstanding capital stock of BioSante as of immediately prior to completion of the merger (which change in the number of shares outstanding prior to completion of the merger is not expected). Accordingly, the market value of the shares of BioSante common stock issued in connection with the merger will depend on the market value of the shares of BioSante common stock at the time of the merger, and could vary significantly from the market value on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        For a more complete discussion of what ANI stockholders will receive in connection with the merger and the determination of the exchange ratios, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration and Adjustment" beginning on page 146.


Treatment of ANI Stock Options and Warrants

        All options and warrants to purchase shares of ANI capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will terminate and will no longer be outstanding immediately after the merger, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled in connection with the merger will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in the combined company (including ANI as the surviving corporation in the merger) after the merger.

        For a more complete discussion of the treatment of ANI stock options and warrants, see the section entitled "The Merger—Treatment of ANI Stock Options and Warrants" beginning on page 147.


Treatment of BioSante Stock Options and Warrants

        All options and warrants to purchase shares of BioSante common stock will remain outstanding immediately after the merger. Pursuant to the terms of BioSante's equity-based compensation plans, all outstanding options to acquire shares of BioSante common stock will vest immediately and become exercisable in full upon completion of the merger. However all such options likely will terminate unexercised since the exercise prices of such options currently range from $4.08 to $220.92 per share and the employment or other service of the holders of such options, other than those held by the two BioSante directors who will remain as directors of the combined company after the merger, will be terminated in connection with the merger. As of April 15, 2013, BioSante had an aggregate of 1.0 million shares of BioSante common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding

stock options and an aggregate of 4.7 million shares of BioSante common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. The exercise prices of the warrants currently range from $1.50 to $24.00 per share.


Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger

        Following the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of seven members, including two current members of the BioSante board of directors and five current members of the ANI board of directors. Robert E. Brown, Jr., ANI's chairman of the board, will be chairman of the board of the combined company. Following the merger, the directors of the combined company will be as follows:

Tracy L. Marshbanks, Ph.D.    ANI
Thomas A. Penn   ANI
Arthur S. Przybyl   ANI

    Arthur S. Przybyl—President and Chief Executive Officer

    Charlotte C. Arnold—Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

    James G. Marken—Vice President, Operations

    Robert J. Jamnick—Vice President, Quality and Product Development

        For a more complete discussion of the management of the combined company after the merger, see the section entitled "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger" beginning on page 272.


Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in the Merger

        In considering the recommendation of the BioSante board of directors to BioSante stockholders to vote in favor of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, and the other matters to be acted upon by BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting, BioSante stockholders should be aware that members of the BioSante board of directors and BioSante's officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, or conflict with, the interests of BioSante stockholders.

        Interests of the BioSante directors and officers relate to:

    The continuing service of each of Fred Holubow and Ross Mangano as directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and the payment of cash and equity compensation in consideration for such service, as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company After the Merger—Director Compensation."

    Change in control and severance payments and continued benefits to which BioSante's current executive officers will become entitled following completion of the merger and their anticipated termination of employment with BioSante. Assuming that the merger is completed on the date

    The right to continued indemnification and insurance coverage for directors and officers of BioSante pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

        The BioSante board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock, and to recommend that BioSante stockholders approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and related matters. Other than full disclosure of these potential conflicts of interest, the BioSante board of directors did not take any other steps to alleviate such potential conflicts of interest since it did not consider such potential conflicts of interest to be material in connection with its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock.

        For a more complete discussion of the interests of the directors and executive officers of BioSante in the merger, see the section entitled "The Merger—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" beginning on page 134.


Interests of ANI's Directors and Officers in the Merger

        In considering the recommendations of the ANI board of directors to the ANI stockholders to vote in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and the other matters to be acted upon by the ANI stockholders at the ANI special meeting, ANI stockholders should be aware that members of the ANI board of directors and ANI's officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, or conflict with, the interests of the ANI stockholders.

        Interests of the ANI directors and officers relate to:

    The board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of the five individuals that are current members of the ANI board of directors and two individuals that are current members of the BioSante board of directors and such directors, with the exception of Mr. Przybyl, will receive cash and equity compensation for such services, as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company After the Merger—Director Compensation."

    The fact that Robert E. Brown, Jr., ANI's chairman of the board, will continue as chairman of the board of the combined company.

    The fact that MVP Capital Partners and Healthcare Value Capital, LLC, two firms affiliated with three of ANI's directors, will receive fees of approximately $350,000 and $40,000, respectively, upon closing of the merger.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger

        BioSante and ANI expect to complete the merger after all conditions to the merger in the merger agreement are satisfied or, if permissible, waived. BioSante and ANI currently expect to complete the merger at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of 2013. However, it is possible that factors outside of BioSante's or ANI's control could require BioSante and ANI to complete the merger at a later time or not complete it at all. The obligations of each of BioSante and ANI to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible) at or before the effective time of the merger of the following conditions:

    The approval by the requisite vote of BioSante stockholders of the issuance of BioSante common stock in the merger.

        Either BioSante or ANI can terminate the merger agreement, which would prevent the merger from being consummated, under certain circumstances as set forth below:

    By mutual written consent of BioSante, Merger Sub and ANI.

    By BioSante or ANI, if the merger has not been completed within 75 days of the date that this joint proxy statement/prospectus is mailed or, if earlier, by October 31, 2013, subject to extension to no later than November 30, 2013 based on the date of filing of the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, except that a party whose material breach of the merger agreement resulted in the failure of the merger to occur by such date cannot seek termination for this reason.

    By BioSante or ANI, if any applicable law irrevocably prohibits or makes the merger illegal or a governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling or taken any other action that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the merger, except that the right to terminate the merger agreement for this reason is not available to any party who has not used reasonable best efforts to cause such law or order to be lifted.

    By BioSante or ANI, if the ANI stockholders fail to adopt the merger agreement at the ANI special meeting or if BioSante stockholders fail to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger at the BioSante special meeting.

    By ANI, if either of the following occur, each a "BioSante triggering event":

    BioSante fails to include in this joint proxy statement/prospectus the recommendation of the BioSante board of directors to BioSante stockholders in favor of approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger.

    Prior to the BioSante special meeting the BioSante board of directors has withdrawn or made a change, or publicly proposed to withdraw or make a change, in its recommendation to BioSante stockholders to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger in a manner adverse to ANI.

    By BioSante, if BioSante enters into an agreement for a transaction resulting from a superior proposal in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. For a more detailed description of BioSante's ability to terminate the merger agreement in connection with a superior proposal, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation".

    By BioSante or ANI, if the other party has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the merger agreement or if any representation or warranty has become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions to the closing of the merger would not be satisfied, provided that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable, then the merger agreement will not terminate pursuant to this provision as a result of a particular breach or inaccuracy until the expiration of a 30-day period after delivery of notice of such breach or inaccuracy if such breach has not been cured.

    By ANI, if after BioSante receives an acquisition proposal, BioSante has materially breached its obligations under the merger agreement with respect to the acquisition proposal.

        For a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the merger agreement may be terminated, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—Termination" beginning on page 152.

Termination Fees and Expenses

        If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, BioSante will be required to pay ANI a termination fee of $1.0 million. The merger agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, BioSante may be required to reimburse ANI up to $500,000 for ANI's expenses in connection with the transaction. Any expenses paid by BioSante will be credited against the termination fee if the termination fee subsequently becomes payable by BioSante. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, ANI will be required to pay BioSante a termination fee of $750,000.

        For a more complete discussion of termination fees and expenses, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses" beginning on page 153.


Vote Required

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting, is required for approval of: (1) the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger; (2) the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013; (3) the proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation payable to certain executive officers of BioSante under existing arrangements in connection with the merger; and (4) the proposal to approve an adjournment of the BioSante special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger. The affirmative vote of holders of a plurality of the BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting, is required for approval of the election of directors. For a more complete discussion of the matters to be considered by BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting and the vote required to approve such matters, see the section entitled "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders" beginning on page 92.

        The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of ANI common stock, calculated on an as-converted basis and voting together as a single class, and 65 percent of the shares of ANI series D convertible preferred stock having voting power outstanding on the record date for the ANI special meeting is required for approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ANI common stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, present in person or represented by proxy at the ANI special meeting, is required for approval of the proposal to approve an adjournment of the ANI special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. For a more complete discussion of the matters to be considered by the ANI stockholders at the ANI special meeting and the vote required to approve such matters, see the section entitled "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of ANI Stockholders" beginning on page 101.


Voting Agreements

        In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, all of BioSante's directors, executive officers and affiliated entities, who collectively held approximately two percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into voting agreements with ANI, pursuant to which each such BioSante stockholder agreed to vote all of their shares of BioSante capital stock in favor of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and against certain

 

26


Table of Contents

transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the merger or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. As of the record date for the BioSante special meeting, the shares of BioSante capital stock owned by all of BioSante's directors, executive officers and affiliated entities and thus subject to the voting agreements constituted approximately two percent of the total outstanding voting power of BioSante on that date.

        In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, Meridian Venture Partners II, L.P., Argentum Capital Partners II, L.P. and four funds affiliated with First Analysis Corp., who in the aggregate held approximately 85 percent of the shares of the outstanding ANI capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, and approximately 86 percent of the outstanding shares of the ANI series D preferred stock, as of April 12, 2013 entered into voting agreements with BioSante, pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of ANI capital stock in favor of the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the merger or the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement. As of the record date for the ANI special meeting, the shares of ANI capital stock owned by all of ANI's directors, executive officers and affiliated entities constituted approximately 92 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock, on an as-converted basis, and approximately 94 percent of the outstanding shares of the ANI series D preferred stock on that date.

        For a more complete discussion of the voting agreements, see the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements" beginning on page 157. For a more complete discussion of the beneficial ownership of BioSante's and ANI's directors, executive officers and affiliates, see the sections entitled "Principal Stockholders of BioSante" and "Principal Stockholders of ANI" beginning on pages 296 and 298, respectively.


Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

        The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and it is a condition to completion of the merger that BioSante and ANI each receive a written opinion from their respective outside legal counsel regarding such qualification. As a result of the "reorganization," ANI stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their shares of ANI capital stock for shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger. However, if an ANI stockholder receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of BioSante common stock, then such stockholder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such stockholder's adjusted tax basis in the fractional share and the amount of cash received. Moreover, an ANI stockholder who perfects appraisal rights and receives cash in exchange for such stockholder's shares of ANI capital stock will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and such stockholder's adjusted tax basis in those shares. BioSante stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the merger.

        Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to a particular BioSante or ANI stockholder will depend in part on such stockholder's circumstances. Accordingly, BioSante and ANI urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger" beginning on page 141.


Regulatory Approvals

        Neither BioSante nor ANI is required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries to consummate the

 

27


Table of Contents

merger. In the United States, BioSante must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and The NASDAQ Stock Market rules and regulations in connection with the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, including the filing with the SEC of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part. For a more complete discussion of the regulatory approvals required in connection with the merger, see the section entitled "The Merger—Regulatory Approvals" beginning on page 140.


Anticipated Accounting Treatment

        The merger will be accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" pursuant to which ANI will be considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as "U.S. GAAP." As such, ANI will allocate the total purchase consideration to BioSante's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of completion of the merger. ANI's historical results of operations will replace BioSante's historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger. After completion of the merger, the results of operations of both companies will be included in BioSante's financial statements. For a more complete discussion of the anticipated accounting treatment of the merger, see the section entitled "The Merger—Anticipated Accounting Treatment" beginning on page 141.


Appraisal Rights

        If the merger is completed, ANI stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. BioSante stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger. For a more complete discussion of the appraisal rights, see the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I, and the section entitled "The Merger—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 142.


Comparison of Stockholder Rights

        Both BioSante and ANI are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware; and, accordingly, the rights of the stockholders of each are currently, and will continue to be, governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law and their respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws. If the merger is completed, ANI stockholders will become stockholders of BioSante, and their rights will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation of BioSante and the bylaws of BioSante. The rights of BioSante contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of BioSante differ from the rights of ANI stockholders under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of ANI, as more fully described under the section entitled "Comparison of Rights of Holders of BioSante Stock and ANI Stock" beginning on page 308.


Contingent Value Rights

        BioSante plans to issue contingent value rights (referred to as CVRs) to holders of BioSante common stock as of immediately before completion of the merger. BioSante expects that one CVR will be issued for each share of BioSante common stock outstanding as of a record date of [                        ], 2013. The CVRs will be non-transferable and not attached to the shares of BioSante common stock. The CVRs will be rights to receive potential cash payments in connection with a LibiGel transaction (as defined in the contingent value rights agreement) and the sale of LibiGel products by the combined company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into between BioSante and a rights agent. The aggregate cash payments to be received by holders of the CVRs, if any, will be equal to 66 percent of the net cash payments received by the combined company as a result of a "LibiGel transaction" during the 10-year period following completion of the merger and if BioSante sells LibiGel product after the merger and does not incur

 

28


Table of Contents

more than $2.5 million in further development expenses after the merger, five percent of the "net revenues" of LibiGel during the 10-year period following completion of the merger. The aggregate cash payments to be received under the CVRs will not exceed $50 million in the aggregate. A LibiGel transaction generally means the sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to BioSante's LibiGel program. The form of the contingent value rights agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G. For a more complete discussion of the CVRs, see the section entitled "Contingent Value Rights" beginning on page 159.


Differences Between Proposed Merger Transaction and Prior Merger Transaction

        The primary changes between this proposed merger transaction and the prior merger transaction between BioSante and ANI are:

    the current merger is a merger of Merger Sub with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante upon completion of the merger, as opposed to a direct merger between BioSante and ANI;

    the required vote of BioSante stockholders is a majority of the shares of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present, as opposed to a majority of the shares of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock outstanding;

    unlike the exchange ratio provisions in the prior merger agreement, the respective ownership percentages of the BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger are fixed at 43 percent and 57 percent, respectively, and are not subject to adjustment based on BioSante's net cash;

    BioSante is not required to have a minimum amount of net cash as a condition to closing of the merger;

    the CVR agreement was revised to (i) add a royalty of five percent of LibiGel net sales if ANI decides to sell the product directly and incurs less than $2.5 million in further development expenses and (ii) increase the aggregate dollar amount potentially payable under the CVR agreement from $40 million to $50 million; and

    the approval by The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market of the listing application for the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued by BioSante in connection with the merger is no longer a condition to closing of the merger.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data of BioSante and ANI

        The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are intended to show how the merger might have affected historical financial statements if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2012 for the purposes of the statements of operations and December 31, 2012 for the purposes of the balance sheet, and was prepared based on the historical financial results reported by BioSante and ANI. The following should be read in conjunction with the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" beginning on page 264, the audited historical financial statements of BioSante and ANI and the notes thereto beginning on pages F-1 and F-35, respectively, the sections entitled "BioSante's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on page 181 and "ANI's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on page 250, and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        The merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the accounting rules for business combinations. Under the reverse acquisition method of accounting, ANI will be treated as the accounting acquiror and BioSante will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes because, immediately upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders prior to the merger will hold a majority of the voting interest of the combined company. In addition, the seven member board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of five of the current members of the ANI board of directors; and therefore, ANI's current board of directors will possess majority control of the board of directors of the combined company. Members of the current management of ANI will be responsible for the management of the combined company and the majority of the combined company's activities will be activities related to ANI's current business.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC. The pro forma adjustments reflecting completion of the merger are based upon the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

        The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 combines the historical balance sheets of BioSante and ANI as of December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on December 31, 2012.

        The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 combine the historical statements of operations of BioSante and ANI for their respective year ended December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2012.

        The historical financial data has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on management's estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition and certain other adjustments.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been combined during the periods presented. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (see the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" beginning on page 264), the preliminary acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is subject to

        As of [                    ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, BioSante had 453 holders of record of BioSante common stock and six record holders of BioSante class C special stock.

        BioSante never has declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Holders of BioSante class C special stock are not eligible to receive dividends. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the BioSante board of directors and will depend upon BioSante's financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, deployment of resources and ability to engage in strategic transactions, whether or not the merger is consummated, and such other factors as the BioSante board of directors deems relevant.

        On April 12, 2013, the last trading day prior to announcement of the merger, the last reported sale price of BioSante common stock was $1.18, for an aggregate market value of BioSante of $28.8 million. On October 3, 2012, the last trading day prior to announcement of the prior merger, the last reported sale price of BioSante common stock was $1.80, for an aggregate market value of BioSante of $44.0 million. On [                    ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the last reported sale price of BioSante common stock was $[          ], for an aggregate market value of BioSante of $[          ] million. Assuming the issuance on such date of an aggregate of 32.8 million shares of BioSante common stock based on an exchange ratio of 12.2901 for the ANI series D preferred stock and an exchange ratio of zero for all other shares of ANI capital stock, if the merger was completed on such date, the market value attributable to the ANI common stock in the aggregate, or 57 percent of the outstanding shares of the combined company, would equal $[          ] million.

Table of Contents

        The following table sets forth information concerning the beneficial ownership of:

    each person known by BioSante to beneficially own more than five percent of BioSante's voting capital stock;

    each of BioSante's current directors and each nominee for director, including persons who are expected to become directors of the combined company following completion of the merger; and

    all of BioSante's current directors and executive officers as a group, prior to the completion of the merger and immediately following the completion of the merger.

        The pre-merger percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated in relation to the 24,422,240 shares of BioSante common stock that were outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and the post-merger percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated in relation to an estimated 57,236,744 shares of common stock of the combined company outstanding upon completion of the merger, assuming that the exchange ratio to be used in connection with the merger is approximately 12.2901 shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series D preferred stock and zero for each share of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock (after giving effect to the anticipated issuance of an estimated 294,688 shares of ANI series D preferred stock to ANI's executive officers and an additional ANI employee in connection with the transaction bonus arrangements as described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus). Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all shares that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options and warrants currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2013 are outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of capital stock owned by such person or group. However, such unissued shares of capital stock are not deemed to be outstanding for calculating the percentage of capital stock owned by any other person. Except as otherwise indicated and subject to the voting agreements described under the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements," BioSante believes that the beneficial owners of its capital stock listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Table of Contents

        For detailed information regarding the beneficial ownership of certain stockholders of BioSante, ANI and the combined company upon completion of the merger, see the sections entitled "Principal Stockholders of BioSante," Principal Stockholders of ANI" and "Principal Stockholders of Combined Company" in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        Because the market price of BioSante common stock is subject to fluctuation, the market value of the shares of BioSante common stock that holders of ANI capital stock will receive in the merger may increase or decrease. The foregoing information reflects only historical information. This information may not provide meaningful information to ANI stockholders in determining whether to approve ANI Proposal No. 1. ANI stockholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for BioSante common stock and to review carefully the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or referenced in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Historical stock prices are not indicative of future stock prices.

        If the minimum bid price of the combined company's common stock is not at least $4.00 per share immediately after completion of the merger, it is likely that BioSante's initial listing application to The NASDAQ Global Market for initial inclusion of BioSante common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market will be denied and the combined company will receive a delisting notice immediately upon completion of the merger. If this occurs, the combined company intends to take all reasonable action after the merger in order to maintain the listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market.


ANI

        As of [                    ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, ANI had 11 holders of record of ANI series D preferred stock, 12 holders of record of ANI series C preferred stock, 12 holders of record of ANI series B preferred stock, five holders of record of ANI series A preferred stock and 10 holders of record of ANI common stock.

        Other than a one-time dividend on the ANI series A preferred stock declared and paid in additional shares of ANI series A preferred stock in 2006, ANI has never paid a dividend on its capital stock. Any determination to pay dividends to holders of ANI capital stock in the future will be at the discretion of the ANI board of directors and will depend on many factors, including ANI's financial condition, results of operations, general business conditions, and any other factors the ANI board of directors deems relevant.

        ANI is a private company and shares of its capital stock are not publicly traded.

RISK FACTORS

         In addition to the other information included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, BioSante and ANI stockholders should consider carefully the following risk factors before deciding how to vote their shares of BioSante capital stock at the BioSante special meeting and/or your shares of ANI capital stock at the ANI special meeting. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, the respective businesses, operating results, financial condition or stock prices of BioSante, ANI or the combined company could be materially adversely affected.


Risks Related to the Merger

         The issuance of shares of BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders in the merger will dilute substantially the voting power of current BioSante stockholders.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, BioSante will issue shares of BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders representing 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company as of immediately following completion of the merger. After such issuance, the shares of BioSante common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will represent 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company as of immediately following completion of the merger. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders in the merger will reduce significantly the relative voting power of each share of BioSante common stock held by current BioSante stockholders. Consequently, BioSante stockholders as a group will have significantly less influence over the management and policies of the combined company after the merger than prior to the merger.

         The exchange ratios in the merger agreement are dependent upon not only the terms of the merger agreement, but also the terms of ANI's certificate of incorporation, which contains provisions that give preference to holders of shares of ANI series D preferred stock and, to a lesser extent, holder of shares of other series of ANI preferred stock. As a result of such provisions, it is likely that holders of shares of other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger.

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of and as a result of the merger, each share of ANI capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. Pursuant to the terms of ANI's certificate of incorporation, before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of any other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series D preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $30.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation) plus all declared but unpaid dividends. The exchange ratios in the merger agreement reflect these preferential payments. As a result of such provisions, it is likely that holders of shares of other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger.

         The exchange ratios are not adjustable based on the market price of BioSante common stock and if the market price of BioSante common stock fluctuates, the market value of the shares of BioSante common stock to be received by the ANI stockholders in connection with the merger is subject to change prior to completion of the merger.

        The aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to ANI stockholders will represent 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company as of immediately following completion of the merger. The exchange ratios, as such ratios are calculated

38


Table of Contents

pursuant to the formulas set forth in the merger agreement, are based on the number of shares of BioSante common stock and ANI capital stock outstanding as of immediately prior to completion of the merger, and in the case of BioSante, a certain percentage of the number of certain warrants to purchase shares of BioSante common stock outstanding as of such date, and will not be determined until that time. The exchange ratios will be adjusted upward or downward only as a result of changes to the number of shares of outstanding capital stock of either or both of BioSante and ANI as of immediately prior to completion of the merger. No adjustments to the exchange ratios will be made based on changes in the trading price of BioSante common stock or the value of ANI capital stock prior to completion of the merger. Changes in the trading price of BioSante common stock or the value of ANI capital stock may result from a variety of factors, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, changes in BioSante's or ANI's respective businesses, operations and prospects, market assessment of the likelihood that the merger will be completed as anticipated or at all, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond BioSante's or ANI's control. As a result, the value of the shares of BioSante common stock issued to ANI stockholders in connection with the merger could be substantially less or substantially more than the current market value of BioSante common stock.

         The percentage of outstanding shares of the combined company that ANI stockholders will receive in the merger is not adjustable based on issuances by BioSante of additional shares of BioSante common stock either upon the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, which issuances would result in additional dilution to BioSante stockholders.

        As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million shares of BioSante common stock, warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 4.7 million shares of BioSante common stock, an aggregate of 65,211 shares of BioSante class C special stock that are convertible into 65,211 shares of BioSante common stock and an aggregate of $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 that were convertible into an aggregate of 370,871 shares of BioSante common stock. The convertible senior notes are due on May 1, 2013 and thus likely will not be converted into BioSante common stock. BioSante is not prohibited under the terms of the merger agreement from issuing additional equity securities under certain circumstances, including securities issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options or warrants. It is possible that prior to completion of the merger BioSante may issue additional equity securities. The number of shares of BioSante common stock that will be issued to ANI stockholders pursuant to the merger will represent 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company as of immediately following completion of the merger, and this percentage is not adjustable based on issuances by BioSante of additional shares of BioSante common stock. Therefore, any such issuances by BioSante would result in additional dilution to BioSante stockholders.

         The announcement and pendency of the merger could have an adverse effect on the trading price of BioSante common stock and/or the business, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects for BioSante and/or ANI.

        While there have been no significant adverse effects to date, the announcement and pendency of the merger could disrupt BioSante's and/or ANI's businesses in the following ways, among others:

    third parties may seek to terminate and/or renegotiate their relationships with BioSante or ANI as a result of the merger, whether pursuant to the terms of their existing agreements with BioSante and/or ANI or otherwise; and

    the attention of BioSante and/or ANI management may be directed toward completion of the merger and related matters and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations of their

39


Table of Contents

      respective companies, including from other opportunities that otherwise might be beneficial to BioSante or ANI.

        Should they occur, any of these matters could adversely affect the trading price of BioSante common stock or harm the financial condition, results of operations or business prospects of BioSante, ANI and/or the combined company.

         Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact BioSante's and ANI's respective businesses, financial condition or results of operations or the trading price of BioSante common stock.

        The completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied. If the merger is not completed, BioSante and/or ANI, as applicable, will be subject to several risks, including:

    the current trading price of BioSante common stock may reflect a market assumption that the merger will occur, meaning that a failure to complete the merger could result in a decline in the trading price of BioSante common stock;

    certain executive officers and/or directors of BioSante may seek other employment opportunities, and the departure of any of BioSante's executive officers and the possibility that the company would be unable to recruit and hire an executive could impact negatively BioSante's business and operating results;

    the BioSante board of directors will need to reevaluate BioSante's strategic alternatives, which alternatives may include a sale of the company or other strategic transaction;

    BioSante may be required to reimburse ANI for expenses of up to $500,000 or pay a termination fee of $1.0 million to ANI if the merger agreement is terminated by ANI or BioSante under certain circumstances;

    ANI may be required to pay BioSante a termination fee of $750,000 if the merger agreement is terminated by BioSante under certain circumstances;

    BioSante and ANI likely will incur substantial transaction costs in connection with the merger whether or not the merger is completed;

    neither BioSante nor ANI would realize any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the merger; and

    under the merger agreement, each of BioSante and ANI is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completion of the merger, which restrictions could adversely affect their ability to realize certain of their respective business strategies or take advantage of certain business opportunities.

        If the merger is not completed, these risks may materialize and affect materially and adversely either or both companies' respective businesses, financial condition, results of operations, or, in the case of BioSante, the trading price of BioSante common stock.

         BioSante and ANI have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the merger, some of which will be required to be paid even if the merger is not completed.

        BioSante and ANI have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the merger. These costs primarily are associated with the fees of their respective attorneys and accountants and BioSante's financial advisor. Most of these costs will be paid by the party incurring the costs even if the merger is not completed. In addition, if the merger agreement is terminated due to certain triggering events specified in the merger agreement, BioSante may be required to pay ANI a termination fee of $1.0 million or ANI may be required to pay BioSante a

40


Table of Contents

termination fee of $750,000. The merger agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, BioSante may be required to reimburse ANI up to $500,000 for its expenses in connection with the transaction. If the merger is completed, the combined company will bear the transaction costs of both BioSante and ANI in connection with the merger, including financial advisor, legal and accounting fees and expenses.

         Some of the directors and executive officers of BioSante and ANI have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the other BioSante and ANI stockholders.

        When considering the recommendation by the BioSante board of directors that BioSante stockholders vote "for" each of the proposals being submitted to BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting and the recommendation by the ANI board of directors that the ANI stockholders vote "for" each of the proposals being submitted to the ANI stockholders at the ANI special meeting, the BioSante and ANI stockholders should be aware that certain of the directors and executive officers of BioSante and ANI have arrangements that provide them with interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of BioSante and ANI.

        For instance, in connection with the merger, Fred Holubow and Ross Mangano, each a current member of the BioSante board of directors, will continue to serve as a director of the combined company following completion of the merger and will receive cash and equity compensation in consideration for such service. The employment of each of BioSante's two current executive officers, Stephen M. Simes and Phillip B. Donenberg, will terminate immediately following completion of the merger and they will be entitled to receive severance benefits in the amount of $1,578,000 in the case of Mr. Simes and $844,156 in the case of Mr. Donenberg in connection with such termination. In addition, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg will receive bonuses relating to BioSante's 2012 fiscal year in the amounts of $200,000 and $100,000, respectively, which have not been paid and pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement will be paid only if the merger occurs and BioSante has net cash that equals or exceeds a specified minimum amount.

        All of the current directors of ANI will serve as directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and will receive certain cash and equity compensation in consideration for such service. Likewise, all of the executive officers of ANI will continue to serve as executive officers of the combined company following completion of the merger and will receive cash and equity compensation in consideration for such service. In addition, the executive officers of ANI will receive special transaction bonus payments upon closing of the merger ranging, for each officer, from approximately $489,416 to $2,336,186 (assuming a $1.19 per share price for BioSante common stock) payable in shares of ANI series D preferred stock, which shares will convert into shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." In addition, certain of ANI's executive officers and directors are expected to own a significant number of shares of common stock of the combined company following completion of the merger. See "Principal Stockholders of Combined Company."

        The directors and executive officers of BioSante and ANI also have certain rights to indemnification and to directors' and officers' liability insurance that will be provided by the combined company following completion of the merger. See the sections entitled "The Merger—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger" and "The Merger—Interests of ANI's Directors and Officers in the Merger" beginning on pages 134 and 138, respectively.

        The board of directors of each of BioSante and ANI were aware of these potential interests and considered them in making their respective recommendations to approve the proposals being submitted to BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting, with respect to BioSante stockholders, and to

41


Table of Contents

approve the proposals being submitted to the ANI stockholders at the ANI special meeting, with respect to the ANI stockholders.

         The merger agreement and the voting agreements contain provisions that could discourage or make it difficult for a third party to acquire BioSante or ANI prior to completion of the merger.

        The merger agreement contains provisions that make it difficult for BioSante or ANI to entertain a third-party proposal for an acquisition of BioSante or ANI. These provisions include:

    the general prohibition on BioSante's and ANI's soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations regarding any alternative acquisition proposal;

    the requirement that BioSante reimburse ANI for expenses of up to $500,000 or pay a termination fee of $1.0 million to ANI if the merger agreement is terminated by ANI or BioSante under certain circumstances;

    the requirement that ANI pay BioSante a termination fee of $750,000 if the merger agreement is terminated by BioSante under certain circumstances; and

    the requirement that BioSante and ANI submit the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, as applicable, to a vote of their respective stockholders even if their respective board of directors changes its recommendation with respect to such proposals, as applicable.

        See the sections entitled "The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation", "The Merger Agreement—Meetings of Stockholders; Change in Board Recommendation" and "The Merger Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses" beginning on pages 148, 150 and 153, respectively.

        Pursuant to the voting agreements entered into between (i) BioSante and certain stockholders of ANI and (ii) ANI and the directors, executive officers and certain stockholders of BioSante, each such director, executive officer and applicable stockholder has agreed not to take any actions that BioSante or ANI, as applicable, is prohibited from taking pursuant to the no-solicitation restrictions contained in the merger agreement. In addition, holders of shares representing approximately 85 percent of the shares of the outstanding ANI capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, and approximately 86 percent of the outstanding shares of the ANI series D preferred stock, as of April 12, 2013, are subject to a voting agreement, pursuant to which the holders of such shares have agreed to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and ANI is required under the terms of the merger agreement to convene and hold the ANI special meeting regardless of any change in the recommendation of the ANI board of directors. Likewise, holders of shares representing approximately two percent of the outstanding capital stock of BioSante as of April 12, 2013 are subject to a voting agreement, pursuant to which the holders of such shares have agreed to vote in favor of the approval of the issuance of the shares of BioSante common stock and BioSante is required under the terms of the merger agreement to convene and hold the BioSante special meeting regardless of any change in the recommendation of the BioSante board of directors. See the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements" beginning on page 157.

        These provisions might discourage an otherwise interested third party from considering or proposing an acquisition of BioSante or ANI, even one that may be deemed of greater value than the merger to BioSante stockholders or ANI stockholders, as applicable. Furthermore, even if a third party elects to propose an acquisition, the concept of a termination fee or payment of the other party's expenses may result in that third party offering a lower value to BioSante stockholders or ANI stockholders, as applicable, than such third party might otherwise have offered.

Table of Contents

         Because the lack of a public market for shares of ANI capital stock makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the merger, ANI stockholders may receive consideration in the merger that is greater than or less than the fair value of the shares of capital stock of ANI.

        ANI is privately held and its outstanding capital stock is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it extremely difficult to determine the fair value of ANI or its shares of capital stock. Since the percentage of BioSante's equity to be issued to the ANI stockholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the BioSante common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be greater than the fair value of ANI. Alternatively, it is possible that the value of the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be less than the fair value of ANI.

         The vote to approve the merger with BioSante is effectively controlled by the holders of ANI series D preferred stock.

        In order to approve the merger agreement and transactions contemplated under the merger agreement, including the merger, ANI requires the vote of (i) the majority of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock entitled to vote, calculated on an as-converted basis and voting as a single class, and (ii) 65 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI series D preferred stock entitled to vote. On an as-converted basis, the number of shares of ANI series D preferred stock represents 90.8 percent of the total number of shares of ANI capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote. As a result, assuming that holders of more than 65 percent of the ANI series D preferred stock all vote such stock for (or against) the merger, both votes described in (i) and (ii) above would be decided, and holders of ANI common stock, or series A, B or C preferred stock, would be unable to affect the outcome of the vote.

         If the merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, the ANI stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes as a result of the merger.

        BioSante and ANI intend, and will be relying on the opinion of their respective tax counsel, that the merger will qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code. BioSante and ANI currently anticipate that neither ANI nor, generally, the U.S. holders of shares of ANI capital stock will recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the merger. However, neither BioSante nor ANI has requested, or intends to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the tax consequences of the merger, and there can be no assurance that the companies' position or the opinion of either company's respective tax counsel would be sustained if challenged by the IRS. Accordingly, if there is a final determination that the merger does not qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code and is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes ANI stockholders generally would recognize taxable gain or loss on their receipt of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger in an amount equal to the difference between such stockholder's adjusted tax basis in their shares of ANI capital stock and the fair market value of the BioSante common stock and cash received in lieu of fractional shares, if any. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger" beginning on page 161.

         The shares of BioSante common stock to be received by ANI stockholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from shares of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock.

        Following completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will no longer be stockholders of ANI, but will be stockholders of BioSante. There are important differences between your current rights as an ANI stockholder and the rights to which you will be entitled as a BioSante stockholder. See "Comparison of Rights of Holders of BioSante Stock and ANI Stock" beginning on page [    ] for a discussion of the different rights associated with BioSante common stock and ANI preferred stock and ANI common stock.

         BioSante may not issue CVRs to holders of BioSante common stock prior to the merger and, even if issued, the CVRs will not be certificated or transferable and may not result in any cash payments to holders of CVRs.

        Although BioSante currently plans to enter into the contingent value rights agreement and issue CVRs to holders of BioSante common stock, there is no assurance that the CVRs will be issued at all or based on the terms currently set forth in the form of the contingent value rights agreement. See "Contingent Value Rights" for more information on the terms of the CVRs and the contingent value rights agreement. BioSante currently has not entered into the contingent value rights agreement and the BioSante board of directors may determine in its sole discretion not to issue the CVRs based on, among other things, the anticipated tax impact of the distribution and issuance of the CVRs to the holders of BioSante common stock. Furthermore, if BioSante and ANI agree, the terms of the contingent value rights agreement as currently contemplated may be changed prior to BioSante entering into the contingent value rights agreement.

        Even if CVRs are issued, they will not be certificated or transferable and may not result in any cash payments to holders of CVRs. Under the contingent value rights agreement, the combined company will not have any obligation, other than an obligation to act in good faith to pursue, engage in, negotiate, enter into or consummate an actual or potential LibiGel transaction (as such term is defined in the contingent value rights agreement).

         BioSante and ANI may waive one or more of the conditions to the merger without resoliciting stockholder approval for the merger.

        Certain conditions to BioSante's and ANI's obligations to complete the merger may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent legally allowed, either unilaterally or by agreement of BioSante and ANI. In the event of a waiver of a condition, the boards of directors of BioSante and ANI will evaluate the materiality of any such waiver to determine whether amendment of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and resolicitation of proxies is necessary. In the event that the board of directors of BioSante or ANI determines any such waiver is not significant enough to require resolicitation of stockholders, it will have the discretion to complete the merger without seeking further stockholder approval. The conditions requiring the approval of each company's stockholders cannot, however, be waived.


Risks Related to the Combined Company if the Merger is Completed

         If any of the events described in "Risks Related to BioSante" or "Risks Related to ANI" occur, those events could cause the potential benefits of the merger not to be realized.

        Following completion of the merger, the combined company will be susceptible to many of the risks described in the sections herein entitled "Risks Related to BioSante," "Risks Related to ANI" and "Risks Related to the Combined Company." To the extent any of the events in the risks described in those sections occur, those events could cause the potential benefits of the merger not to be realized and the market price of the combined company's common stock to decline.

         The success of the merger will depend, in large part, on the ability of the combined company following completion of the merger to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of BioSante and ANI.

        The merger involves the integration of two companies that previously have operated independently with principal offices in two distinct locations. Due to legal restrictions, BioSante and ANI are able to conduct only limited planning regarding the integration of the two companies prior to completion of the merger. Significant management attention and resources will be required to integrate the two companies after completion of the merger. The failure to integrate successfully and to manage

44


Table of Contents

successfully the challenges presented by the integration process may result in the combined company's failure to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of the merger.

        Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following:

    using the combined company's cash and other assets efficiently to develop the business of the combined company;

    appropriately managing the liabilities of the combined company;

    potential unknown or currently unquantifiable liabilities associated with the merger and the operations of the combined company;

    potential unknown and unforeseen expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the merger; and

    performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management's attention caused by completing the merger and integrating the companies' operations.

        Delays in the integration process could adversely affect the combined company's business, financial results, financial condition and stock price following the merger. Even if the combined company is able to integrate the business operations successfully, there can be no assurance that this integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, innovation and operational efficiencies that may be possible from this integration and that these benefits will be achieved within a reasonable period of time.

         The merger will result in changes to the BioSante board of directors and the combined company may pursue different strategies than either BioSante or ANI may have pursued independently.

        If BioSante and ANI complete the merger, the composition of the BioSante board of directors will change in accordance with the merger agreement. Following completion of the merger, the combined company's board of directors will consist of seven members, including two of the current directors of BioSante and five of the current directors of ANI. Currently, it is anticipated that the combined company will continue to advance the product development efforts and business strategies of ANI primarily. However, because the composition of the board of directors of the combined company will consist of directors from both BioSante and ANI, the combined company may determine to pursue certain business strategies that neither ANI nor BioSante would have pursued independently.

         Ownership of the combined company's common stock may be highly concentrated, and it may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause the combined company's stock price to decline.

        Upon completion of the merger, ANI's directors and executive officers continuing with the combined company, together with their respective affiliates, are expected to beneficially own or control more than 41 percent of the combined company (see the sections entitled "Principal Stockholders of ANI" beginning on page 298 and "Principal Stockholders of Combined Company" beginning on page 302 for more information on the estimated ownership of the combined company following the merger). Accordingly, these directors, executive officers and their affiliates, acting individually or as a group, will have substantial influence over the outcome of a corporate action of the combined company requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the combined company's assets or any other significant corporate transaction. These stockholders also may exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of the combined company, even if such change in control would benefit the other stockholders of the combined company. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may affect adversely the market value of the combined company's common stock due to investors' perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

         Future results of the combined company may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial statements presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the financial forecasts prepared by ANI in connection with discussions concerning the merger.

        The future results of the combined company may be materially different from those shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, which show only a combination of the historical results of BioSante and ANI, and the financial forecasts prepared by ANI in connection with discussions concerning the merger. BioSante and ANI expect to incur significant costs associated with completion of the merger and combining the operations of the two companies. The exact magnitude of these costs is not yet known, but is estimated to be approximately $3.2 million. Furthermore, these costs may decrease the capital that the combined company could use for continued development of the combined company's business in the future or may cause the combined company to seek to raise new capital sooner than expected.

         The combined company's ability to utilize BioSante's or ANI's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the future is subject to substantial limitations and may be further limited as a result of the merger.

        Under Section 382 of the Code, if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change" (generally defined as a greater than 50 percent change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period), the corporation's ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. Further, if the historic business of BioSante or ANI is not treated as being continued by the combined entity for the two-year period beginning on the date of the merger (referred to as the "continuity of business requirement"), the pre-transaction net operating loss carryforward deductions of BioSante or ANI (as the case may be) may become reduced substantially or unavailable for use by the combined company in the transaction. In 2009, an "ownership change" occurred with respect to BioSante, and it is expected that the merger will result in another "ownership change" of BioSante. The merger also may result in an "ownership change" of ANI. Accordingly, the combined company's ability to utilize BioSante's and ANI's net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be limited substantially. These limitations, in turn, could result in increased future tax payments for the combined company, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the combined company.

        Under Section 384 of the Code, available net operating loss carryovers of BioSante or ANI may not be available to offset certain gains arising after the merger from assets held by the other corporation at the effective time of the merger. This limitation will apply to the extent that the gain is attributable to an unrealized built-in-gain in the assets of BioSante or ANI existing at the effective time of the merger. To the extent that any such gains are recognized in the five year period after the merger upon the disposition of any such assets, the net operating loss carryovers of the other corporation will not be available to offset such gains (but the net operating loss carryovers of the corporation that owned such assets will not be limited by Section 384 of the Code although they may be subject to other limitations under Section 382 of the Code as described above).

         The price of BioSante common stock after the merger is completed may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the price of BioSante common stock.

        Upon completion of the merger, holders of ANI capital stock who receive shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger will become holders of BioSante common stock. The business of BioSante differs significantly from the business of ANI; and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the trading price of BioSante common stock following completion of the merger may be affected significantly by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of BioSante. For a discussion of the businesses of BioSante and ANI and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the

46


Table of Contents

sections entitled "BioSante's Business," "BioSante's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "ANI's Business," "ANI's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the audited historical financial statements of BioSante and ANI, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

         The NASDAQ Global Market considers the proposed merger of BioSante and ANI to be a business combination with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change in control of BioSante; and therefore, has required that BioSante submit a new initial listing application. Approval by NASDAQ of the initial listing application requires the combined company's common stock to have a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share, which likely will not happen. If the initial listing application is denied and if the combined company's common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, it could be more difficult for holders of shares of the combined company to sell their shares.

        NASDAQ considers the merger proposed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to be a business combination with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change in control of BioSante and has required that BioSante submit a new initial listing application. Because it is likely that the minimum bid price of BioSante's common stock will not be at least $4.00 upon completion of the merger, it also is likely that the new initial listing application will be denied by NASDAQ and NASDAQ will issue the combined company a delisting letter immediately after completion of the merger. If this occurs, the combined company intends to take all reasonable action in order to maintain the listing of its common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the combined company will be successful and if the combined company's common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, you may have difficulty converting your investments into cash effectively. As a result, the relative price of the combined company's stock may decline and/or fluctuate more than in the past, and you may have trouble converting your investments in the combined company into cash effectively.

         The combined company's management will be required to devote substantial time to comply with public company regulations.

        As a public company, the combined company will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that ANI did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as well as rules implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ, impose various requirements on public companies, including those related to corporate governance practices. The combined company's management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these requirements. Certain members of ANI's management, which will continue as the management of the combined company, do not have significant experience in addressing these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase the combined company's legal and financial compliance costs relative to those of ANI and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.

        The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that the combined company maintain effective internal control for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, the combined company must perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting to allow management and the combined company's independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The combined company's compliance with these requirements will require that it incur substantial accounting and related expenses and expend significant management efforts. The combined company may need to hire additional accounting and financial staff to satisfy the ongoing requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of hiring such staff may be material and there can be no assurance that such staff will be immediately available to the combined company. Moreover, if the combined company is not able to comply with the

47


Table of Contents

requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if the combined company or its independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the combined company's financial reports, the market price of the combined company's common stock could decline and the combined company could be subject to sanctions or investigations by NASDAQ, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

         After completion of the merger, the combined company will possess not only all of the assets but also all of the liabilities of both BioSante and ANI. Discovery of previously undisclosed or unknown liabilities could have an adverse effect on the combined company's business, operating results and financial condition.

        Acquisitions involve risks, including inaccurate assessment of undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems. After completion of the merger, the combined company will possess not only all of the assets, but also all of the liabilities of both BioSante and ANI. Although BioSante conducted a due diligence investigation of ANI and its known and potential liabilities and obligations, and ANI conducted a due diligence investigation of BioSante and its known and potential liabilities and obligations, it is possible that undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems may arise after completion of the merger, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company's business, operating results and financial condition.

         BioSante and ANI do not expect the combined company to pay cash dividends.

        BioSante and ANI anticipate that the combined company will retain its earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in the combined company's common stock for that purpose.

         Anti-takeover provisions in the combined company's charter and bylaws may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the board of directors or management and could make a third-party acquisition of the combined company difficult.

        The combined company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, contains provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the combined company's common stock.

         The sale or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock of the combined company after the merger and after expiration of the lock-up period could adversely affect the market price of such shares after the merger.

        Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock of the combined company in the public market after the merger or after expiration of the lock-up period that will apply to two of ANI's executive officers (for a portion of their shares) and certain of its stockholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of such shares and could materially impair the combined company's ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. BioSante and ANI are unable to predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by significant stockholders, directors or officers of the combined company or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of the combined company's common stock after the merger.

Risks Related to BioSante

Risks Related to BioSante's Financial Condition and Future Capital Requirements

         BioSante has not generated significant revenues and does not expect to in the near future. BioSante has a history of operating losses, expects continuing losses and may never become profitable.

        Substantially all of BioSante's revenue to date has been derived from upfront and milestone payments earned on licensing transactions, revenue earned from subcontracts and royalty revenue. In order to generate new and significant revenues, BioSante must develop and commercialize successfully its own products or enter into strategic partnering agreements with others who can develop and commercialize them successfully, or acquire additional new products that generate or have the potential to generate revenues. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with BioSante's and its strategic partners' product development programs and BioSante's ability to acquire additional new products, BioSante is unable to predict when it will be able to generate significant revenue or become profitable, if at all. BioSante incurred a net loss of $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, BioSante's accumulated deficit was $245.0 million. BioSante expects to continue to incur substantial and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. These losses will increase if BioSante decides to pursue the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials or in-license additional new products that require further development. Even if BioSante's approved products, products in development or any additional new products BioSante may acquire or in-license are introduced commercially, BioSante may never achieve market acceptance and it may never generate sufficient revenues or receive sufficient license fees or royalties on its licensed products and technologies in order to achieve or sustain future profitability.

         Because BioSante has no source of significant recurring revenue, BioSante must depend on financing or partnering to sustain its operations. BioSante likely will need to raise substantial additional capital or enter into strategic partnering agreements to fund its operations and BioSante may be unable to raise such funds or enter into strategic partnering agreements when needed and on acceptable terms.

        Developing products requires substantial amounts of capital. BioSante estimates that the cost of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials will be approximately $15 to $18 million each, or a combined $30 to $36 million spread over 18 months. No assurance can be provided, however, that BioSante's cost estimates will be correct. It is possible that the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials will cost more than BioSante anticipates. If BioSante decides to pursue the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials or in-license additional new products that require further development, BioSante will need to raise substantial additional capital or enter into strategic partnering agreements to fund its operations and it may be unable to raise such funds or enter into strategic partnering agreements when needed and on acceptable terms.

        BioSante's future capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including:

    the progress, timing, cost and results of its clinical development programs, including the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials if BioSante decides to pursue them and if BioSante in-licenses additional new products that require further development;

    the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory actions with respect to BioSante's products;

    the success, progress, timing and costs of BioSante's business development efforts to implement business collaborations, licenses and other business combinations or transactions, and its efforts to evaluate various strategic alternatives available with respect to its products and its company.

    BioSante's ability to obtain value from its current products and technologies and its ability to out-license its products and technologies to third parties for development and commercialization and the terms of such out-licenses;

49


Table of Contents

    BioSante's ability to acquire or in-license additional new products and technologies and the costs and expenses of such acquisitions or licenses;

    the timing and amount of any royalties, milestone or other payments BioSante may receive from or be obligated to pay to current and potential licensors, licensees and other third parties;

    the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

    the emergence of competing products and technologies, and other adverse market developments;

    the perceived, potential and actual commercial success of BioSante's products;

    BioSante's operating expenses; and

    the resolution of BioSante's pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation and any amount it may be required to pay in excess of its directors' and officers' liability insurance.

        BioSante's future capital requirements and projected expenditures are based upon numerous assumptions and subject to many uncertainties, and actual requirements and expenditures may differ significantly from its projections. To date, BioSante has relied primarily upon proceeds from sales of its equity securities to finance its business and operations. BioSante likely will need to raise additional capital to fund its operations. As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had $34.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. BioSante does not have any existing credit facilities under which it may borrow funds. Absent the receipt of any additional licensing income or financing, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents balance to decrease as it continues to use cash to fund its operations. As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had $8.3 million in principal amount of convertible senior notes outstanding that mature on May 1, 2013. Assuming the merger is completed during the third quarter of 2013, BioSante expects its cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 to meet its liquidity requirements through at least its anticipated closing of the merger. If the merger is not completed, BioSante will need to reevaluate its strategic alternatives, which may include continuing to operate its business as an independent, stand-alone company, a sale of the company or other strategic transaction. BioSante's liquidity position will be dependent upon the strategic alternative selected; however, assuming BioSante does not enter into another strategic transaction, and assuming BioSante decides not to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next three to five years. Additional financing would be required should BioSante decide to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel. These estimates may prove incorrect or BioSante, nonetheless, may choose to raise additional financing earlier in order to create a "cash cushion" and take advantage of favorable financing conditions.

        The December 2011 announcement of the results of BioSante's prior completed LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials has significantly depressed the trading price of BioSante common stock and harmed BioSante's ability to raise additional capital. BioSante can provide no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to BioSante, or at all. This is particularly true if investors are not confident in BioSante's LibiGel Phase III development program, the future value of the company and/or if economic and market conditions deteriorate. BioSante has on file effective shelf registration statements that allow it to raise up to an aggregate of $102.4 million from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, warrants or units comprised of the foregoing. However, under applicable SEC rules, if BioSante has a public float of less than $75.0 million, it can only offer to sell under the registration statement up to one-third of its public float during any 12-month period. BioSante can provide no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to it, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms when BioSante needs them, BioSante may need to make changes to its operations to reduce costs. As an alternative to raising additional financing, BioSante may choose to license LibiGel, Elestrin (outside

50


Table of Contents

the territories already licensed) or another product to a third party who may finance a portion or all of the continued development and, if approved, commercialization of that licensed product, sell certain assets or rights BioSante has under its existing license agreements or decide or be forced to explore other strategic alternatives, such as selling or merging the company or winding down its operations and liquidating the company. In such case, BioSante stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.

         Raising additional funds by issuing additional equity securities may cause dilution to existing BioSante stockholders, raising additional funds by issuing additional debt financing may restrict BioSante's operations and raising additional funds through licensing arrangements may require BioSante to relinquish proprietary rights.

        If BioSante raises additional funds through the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of its stockholders could be diluted significantly, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of its existing stockholders. In addition, the issuance of any equity securities could be at a discount to the market price.

        If BioSante incurs additional debt financing, the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness may limit funds available for its business activities, and BioSante could be subject to covenants that restrict its ability to operate its business and make distributions to its stockholders. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of BioSante's assets, as well as prohibitions on the ability of BioSante to create liens, pay dividends, redeem its stock or make investments. There is no assurance that any equity or debt financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to BioSante, or at all.

        As an alternative to raising additional financing by issuing additional equity or debt securities, BioSante may choose to license one or more of its products or technologies to a third party who may finance a portion or all of the continued development and, if approved, commercialization of that licensed product, sell certain assets or rights under BioSante's existing license agreements or enter into other business collaborations or combinations, including a possible sale or merger of its company. If BioSante raises additional funds through licensing arrangements, BioSante may be required to relinquish greater or all rights to BioSante's products at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms than BioSante otherwise would choose.

         BioSante is subject to pending purported securities class action and shareholder derivative litigation, which could divert management's attention, harm its business and/or reputation and result in significant liabilities, as well as harm its ability to raise additional financing and execute certain strategic alternatives.

        BioSante is subject to pending purported securities class action and shareholder derivative litigation.

        On February 3, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Thomas Lauria, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Stephen M. Simes naming BioSante and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Simes, as defendants. The complaint alleges that certain of BioSante's disclosures relating to the efficacy of LibiGel and its commercial potential were false and/or misleading and that such false and/or misleading statements had the effect of artificially inflating the price of BioSante's securities resulting in violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Although a substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on February 21, 2012, such complaint was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in April 2012. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of persons who purchased BioSante's securities between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and reasonable costs, expert fees and attorneys' fees on behalf of such purchasers. BioSante believes the action is without merit and

51


Table of Contents

intends to defend the action vigorously. On November 6, 2012, the plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. On December 28, 2012, BioSante and Mr. Simes filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is complete and the parties await the Court's ruling.

        On May 7, 2012, Jerome W. Weinstein, a purported stockholder of BioSante filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Weinstein v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., naming BioSante's directors as defendants and BioSante as a nominal defendant. A substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on May 22, 2012 and another substantially similar complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division, on June 27, 2012. The suits generally related to the same events that are the subject of the class action litigation described above. The complaints allege breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and unjust enrichment as causes of action occurring from at least February 2010 through December 2011. The complaints seek unspecified damages, punitive damages, costs and disbursements and unspecified reform and improvements in BioSante's corporate governance and internal control procedures. On September 24, 2012, the District Court consolidated the two cases before it and on November 20, 2012 plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. On November 27, 2012, the plaintiff in the action pending in Illinois state court filed an amended complaint. On January 11, 2013, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the action pending in District Court, and on January 18, 2013, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the action pending in Illinois state court. Briefing on these motions is complete and the parties await the Courts' rulings.

        The lawsuits are in their early stages; and, therefore, BioSante is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits and the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with their resolution or any potential effect the lawsuits may have on BioSante's operations. Depending on the outcome or resolution of these lawsuits, they could have a material effect on BioSante's operations, including its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

        BioSante is not involved in any other legal actions, however, from time to time may be subject to various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and to outcomes that are not predictable with assurance and that may not be known for extended periods of time.

Risks Related to BioSante's Business

         BioSante's two pivotal LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials did not meet the co-primary and secondary endpoints, and it is possible that the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, if BioSante decides to pursue them, will not meet the co-primary and secondary endpoints, which could harm BioSante's business and further disappoint BioSante stockholders and cause the trading price of BioSante common stock to decrease.

        BioSante's lead near term product in development is LibiGel for the treatment of FSD, specifically HSDD, in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved product. In June 2012, BioSante announced a plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. This decision was based on an extensive analysis of previous efficacy data, consultation with key opinion leaders in FSD, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, as well as a meeting with the FDA. The protocol for the two new efficacy trials is in development. BioSante intends to apply for an FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement prior to initiating the two new efficacy trials. Currently, it is expected that the efficacy trials will include the same FDA-required efficacy endpoints as prior Phase III efficacy trials: an increase in the number of satisfying sexual events and sexual desire, and decreased distress associated with low desire.

        The initiation of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials involves risk, especially since BioSante's prior LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials failed to meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints.

Although the results indicated that LibiGel performed as predicted based on previous experience with testosterone products for female sexual dysfunction, the placebo response in the two efficacy trials was greater than expected; and therefore, LibiGel's results were not shown to be statistically different from placebo. No assurance can be provided that BioSante will be able to design the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials to minimize sufficiently the placebo effect and meet the co-primary and secondary endpoints for the trials. In addition, BioSante can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain an FDA SPA agreement for such trials or that BioSante will initiate or complete the trials on a timely basis, or ever. Any of these possible results could harm BioSante's business and further disappoint BioSante stockholders and cause the trading price of BioSante common stock to decrease.

         Although BioSante's male testosterone gel is approved by the FDA, BioSante is uncertain as to when Teva will begin to market and sell the male testosterone gel and thus when or if BioSante would begin to receive royalties from such sales in light of Teva's settlement agreement with AbbVie Inc.

        BioSante's male testosterone gel was developed initially by BioSante, and then licensed by BioSante to Teva for late stage clinical development. Teva submitted a New Drug Application, which NDA was approved by the FDA in February 2012. Subsequent to Teva submitting the NDA, in April 2011, AbbVie Inc., a marketer of a testosterone gel for men, filed a complaint against Teva alleging patent infringement. The Teva/AbbVie patent infringement litigation was settled in December 2011; however, the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential and have not been publicly disclosed. In light of the settlement agreement, BioSante is uncertain as to when or if Teva will begin to market and sell its male testosterone gel and thus when or if BioSante would begin to receive royalties from such sales.

         Several of BioSante's products are in the clinical development stages and, depending on the product, likely will not be approved by regulatory authorities or introduced commercially for at least several years and likely more, if at all.

        Several of BioSante's products are in the clinical development stages and will require further development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment prior to obtaining required regulatory approvals and commercialization in the United States and abroad. Other than Elestrin and BioSante's male testosterone gel, none of BioSante's products have been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities; and accordingly, none of BioSante's products have been introduced commercially and most are not expected to be for several years and likely more, if at all. BioSante cannot assure you that any of its products in clinical development will:

    be developed successfully;

    prove to be safe and effective in clinical studies;

    meet applicable regulatory standards or obtain required regulatory approvals;

    demonstrate substantial protective or therapeutic benefits in the prevention or treatment of any disease;

    be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs;

    obtain coverage and favorable reimbursement rates from insurers and other third-party payors; or

    be marketed successfully or achieve market acceptance by physicians and patients.

         If BioSante fails to obtain regulatory approval to manufacture commercially or sell any of its future products, or if approval is delayed or withdrawn, BioSante will be unable to generate revenue from the sale of its products.

        BioSante must obtain regulatory approval to sell any of its products in the United States and abroad. In the United States, BioSante must obtain the approval of the FDA for each product or drug that BioSante intends to commercialize. The FDA approval process typically is very lengthy and expensive, and approval never is certain. Products to be commercialized abroad are subject to similar foreign government regulation.

        Generally, only a very small percentage of newly discovered pharmaceutical products that enter preclinical development eventually are approved for sale. Because of the risks and uncertainties in biopharmaceutical development, BioSante's products could take a significantly longer time to gain regulatory approval than BioSante expects or may never gain approval. If regulatory approval is delayed or never obtained, the credibility of BioSante's management, the value of BioSante and its operating results and liquidity would be affected adversely. Even if a product gains regulatory approval, the product and the manufacturer of the product may be subject to continuing regulatory review and BioSante may be restricted or prohibited from marketing or manufacturing a product if previously unknown problems with the product or its manufacture of the product subsequently are discovered. The FDA also may require BioSante to commit to perform lengthy post-approval studies, for which BioSante would have to expend significant additional resources, which could have an adverse effect on its operating results and financial condition.

        To obtain regulatory approval to market many of BioSante's products, costly and lengthy human clinical trials are required, and the results of the studies and trials are highly uncertain. As part of the FDA approval process, BioSante must conduct, at its own expense or the expense of current or potential licensees or other entities, clinical trials in human subjects on each of BioSante's products. BioSante expects the number of human clinical trials that the FDA will require will vary depending on the product, the disease or condition the product is being developed to address and regulations applicable to the particular product. Depending on the stage of development, BioSante may need to perform multiple pre-clinical studies using various doses and formulations before BioSante can begin human clinical trials, which could result in delays in BioSante's ability to market its products. Furthermore, even if BioSante obtains favorable results in pre-clinical studies on animals, the results in humans may be different.

        In order to receive regulatory approval for commercial sale, BioSante must demonstrate that its products are safe and effective for use in the target human population. The data obtained from pre-clinical and human clinical testing are subject to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. BioSante faces the risk that the results of its clinical trials in later phases of clinical trials may be inconsistent with those obtained in earlier phases. As an example, BioSante's prior two pivotal LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials did not meet the co-primary endpoints of an increase in satisfying sexual events and an increase in desire and the secondary endpoint of a decrease in distress compared to placebo even though treatment with LibiGel in BioSante's Phase II clinical trial significantly increased satisfying sexual events compared to placebo. A number of companies in the biopharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after experiencing promising results in early animal or human testing. Adverse or inconclusive human clinical results would prevent BioSante from submitting for regulatory approval of its products.

        Additional factors that can cause delay or termination of BioSante's human clinical trials include:

    slow subject enrollment;

    timely completion of clinical site protocol approval and obtaining informed consent from subjects;

54


Table of Contents

    longer treatment time required to demonstrate efficacy or safety;

    new or additional trials or studies that are designed differently in order to increase the chances of demonstrating efficacy or safety;

    adverse medical events or side effects in treated subjects;

    lack of effectiveness of the product being tested; and

    lack of funding.

        Delays in BioSante's clinical trials could allow its competitors additional time to develop or market competing products and thus can be extremely costly in terms of lost sales opportunities and increased clinical trial costs.

         The process for obtaining FDA approval of an NDA is time consuming, subject to unanticipated delays and costs, and requires the commitment of substantial resources.

        BioSante's products in development will require the submission and approval of an NDA in order to obtain required approval by the FDA to commercially market the product. The FDA conducts in-depth reviews of NDAs to determine whether to approve products for commercial marketing for the indications proposed. If the FDA is not satisfied with the information provided, the FDA may refuse to approve an NDA or may require a company to perform additional studies or provide other information in order to secure approval. The FDA may delay, limit or refuse to approve an NDA for many reasons, including:

    the information submitted may be insufficient to demonstrate that a product is safe and effective;

    the FDA might not approve the processes or facilities of a company, or those of its vendors, that will be used for the commercial manufacture of a product; or

    the FDA's interpretation of the nonclinical, clinical or manufacturing data provided in an NDA may differ from a company's interpretation of such data.

        If the FDA determines that the clinical studies submitted for a product candidate in support of an NDA are not conducted in full compliance with the applicable protocols for these studies, as well as with applicable regulations and standards, or if the FDA does not agree with a company's interpretation of the results of such studies, the FDA may reject the data that resulted from such studies. The rejection of data from clinical studies required to support an NDA could affect negatively a company's ability to obtain marketing authorization for a product and would have a material adverse effect on a company's business and financial condition. In addition, an NDA may not be approved, or approval may be delayed, as a result of changes in FDA policies for drug approval during development or the review period.

         BioSante may not achieve projected goals and objectives in the time periods that BioSante anticipates or announce publicly, which could have an adverse effect on its business and could cause the price of BioSante common stock to decline.

        BioSante sets goals and objectives for, and makes public statements regarding, the timing of certain accomplishments and milestones regarding its business, such as the initiation and completion of clinical studies, the completion of enrollment for clinical studies, the submission of applications for regulatory approvals, the receipt of regulatory approvals and other developments and milestones. The actual timing of these events can vary dramatically due to a number of factors including without limitation delays or failures in BioSante's current clinical studies, the amount of time, effort and resources committed to its programs by BioSante and its current and potential future strategic partners

55

and the uncertainties inherent in the clinical studies and regulatory approval process. As a result, there can be no assurance that clinical studies involving BioSante's products in development will advance or be completed in the time periods that BioSante or its strategic partners announce or expect, that BioSante or its current and potential future strategic partners will make regulatory submissions or receive regulatory approvals as planned or that BioSante or its current and potential future strategic partners will be able to adhere to its current schedule for the achievement of key milestones under any of its development programs. If BioSante or any of its strategic partners fail to achieve one or more of these milestones as planned, BioSante's business could be affected adversely and materially and the trading price of BioSante common stock could decline.

        BioSante also discloses from time-to-time projected financial information, including its cash position and anticipated cash burn rate and other expenditures, for future periods. These financial projections are based on management's current expectations and may not contain any margin of error or cushion for any specific uncertainties, or for the uncertainties inherent in all financial forecasting.

         If the market opportunities for BioSante's products are smaller than BioSante anticipates, then its future revenues and business may be affected adversely.

        From time-to-time, BioSante discloses estimated market opportunity data for its products and products in development. Although BioSante believes it has a reasonable basis for its market opportunity estimates, BioSante estimates may prove to be incorrect. If the market opportunities for BioSante's products are smaller than BioSante anticipates, its anticipated revenues from the sales or licensure of such products will be lower than BioSante anticipates.

         Uncertainties associated with the impact of published studies regarding the adverse health effects of certain forms of hormone therapy could adversely affect the market for BioSante's hormone therapy products and the trading price of BioSante common stock.

        The market for hormone therapy products has been affected negatively by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and other studies that have found that the overall health risks from the use of certain hormone therapy products may exceed the benefits from the use of those products among postmenopausal women. In July 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released data from its WHI study on the risks and benefits associated with long-term use of oral hormone therapy by women. The NIH announced that it was discontinuing the arm of the study investigating the use of oral estrogen/progestin combination hormone therapy products after an average follow-up period of 5.2 years because the product used in the study was shown to cause an increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer. The study also found an increased risk of stroke, heart attacks and blood clots and concluded that overall health risks exceeded benefits from use of combined estrogen plus progestin for an average of 5.2 year follow-up among postmenopausal women. Also, in July 2002, results of an observational study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute on the effects of estrogen therapy were announced. The main finding of the study was that postmenopausal women who used estrogen therapy for 10 or more years had a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than women who never used hormone therapy. In October 2002, a significant hormone therapy study being conducted in the United Kingdom also was halted. BioSante's products differ from the products used in the WHI study and the primary products observed in the National Cancer Institute and United Kingdom studies. In March 2004, the NIH announced that the estrogen-alone study was discontinued after nearly seven years because the NIH concluded that estrogen alone does not affect (either increase or decrease) heart disease, the major question being evaluated in the study. The findings indicated a slightly increased risk of stroke as well as a decreased risk of hip fracture and breast cancer. Preliminary data from the memory portion of the WHI study suggested that estrogen alone may possibly be associated with a slight increase in the risk of dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

        Researchers continue to analyze data from both arms of the WHI study and other studies. Some reports indicate that the safety of estrogen products may be affected by the age of the woman at initiation of therapy. There currently are no studies published comparing the safety of BioSante's products against other hormone therapies. The markets for female hormone therapies for menopausal symptoms declined as a result of these published studies, although the market now seems to have stabilized. The release of any follow-up or other studies that show adverse effects from hormone therapy, including in particular, hormone therapies similar to BioSante's products, also could adversely affect BioSante's business and decrease the trading price of BioSante common stock.

         If clinical studies for BioSante's products are terminated, prolonged or delayed, it may be difficult for BioSante to find a strategic partner to assist it in the development and commercialization of its non-partnered products or commercialize such products on a timely basis, which would require BioSante to incur additional costs and delay or prevent its receipt of any revenue from potential product sales or licenses.

        BioSante may encounter problems with its completed, ongoing or planned clinical studies for its products that may cause it or the FDA to delay, suspend or terminate those studies or delay the analysis of data derived from them. A number of events, including any of the following, could delay the completion of, or cause BioSante to suspend or terminate its ongoing and planned clinical studies for its products and negatively impact BioSante's ability to obtain regulatory approval or enter into strategic partnerships for, or market or sell, a particular product:

    conditions imposed on BioSante by the FDA or any foreign regulatory authority regarding the scope or design of its clinical studies;

    delay in developing, or BioSante's inability to obtain, a clinical dosage form, insufficient supply or deficient quality of its products or other materials necessary to conduct its clinical studies;

    negative or inconclusive results from clinical studies, or results that are inconsistent with earlier results, that necessitate additional clinical study or termination of a clinical program;

    serious and/or unexpected product-related side effects experienced by subjects in BioSante's clinical studies; or

    failure of BioSante's third-party contractors or its investigators to comply with regulatory requirements or otherwise meet their contractual obligations to BioSante in a timely manner.

        Regulatory authorities, clinical investigators, institutional review boards, data safety monitoring boards and the sites at which BioSante's clinical studies are conducted all have the power to stop or recommend stopping its clinical studies prior to completion. BioSante's clinical studies for its products in development may not begin as planned, may need to be amended, suspended or terminated and may not be completed on schedule, if at all. This is particularly true if BioSante no longer believes it can obtain regulatory approval for a particular product or if BioSante no longer has the financial resources to dedicate to a clinical development program for a particular product.

         BioSante relies on third parties to assist it in certain aspects of its clinical studies. If these third parties do not perform as required contractually or expected, BioSante's clinical studies may be extended, delayed or terminated or may need to be repeated, and BioSante may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize the product being tested in such studies.

        BioSante relies on third parties, such as medical institutions, academic institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories, to assist it in certain aspect of its clinical studies. BioSante is responsible for confirming that BioSante's studies are conducted in accordance with applicable regulations and that each of its clinical trials is conducted in accordance with its general investigational plan and protocol. The FDA requires BioSante to comply with regulations and standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices for conducting, monitoring, recording and reporting the results of

57


Table of Contents

clinical trials, to assure that data and reported results are accurate and that the clinical trial participants are adequately protected. BioSante's reliance on these few third parties does not relieve it of these responsibilities. If the third parties assisting BioSante with certain aspects of its clinical studies do not perform their contractual duties or obligations, do not meet expected deadlines, fail to comply with the FDA's good clinical practice regulations, do not adhere to BioSante's protocols or otherwise fail to generate reliable clinical data, BioSante may need to enter into new arrangements with alternative third parties and its clinical studies may be extended, delayed or terminated or may need to be repeated, and BioSante may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize the product being tested in such studies. In addition, if a third party fails to perform as agreed, BioSante's ability to collect damages may be limited contractually.

         BioSante's products will remain subject to ongoing regulatory review even if BioSante receives marketing approval. If BioSante fails to comply with continuing regulations, BioSante could lose these approvals, and the sale of any future products could be suspended.

        Even if BioSante receives regulatory approval to market a particular product in development, the FDA or a foreign regulatory authority could condition approval on conducting additional costly post-approval studies or could limit the scope of BioSante's approved labeling or could impose burdensome post-approval obligations under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). If required, a REMS may include various elements, such as publication of a medication guide, a patient package insert, a communication plan to educate healthcare providers of the drug's risks, limitations on who may prescribe or dispense the drug or other measures that the FDA deems necessary to assure the safe use of the drug. Moreover, the product may later cause adverse effects that limit or prevent its widespread use, result in more restrictive labeling than originally approved, force BioSante to withdraw it from the market, cause the FDA to impose additional REMS obligations or impede or delay BioSante's ability to obtain regulatory approvals in additional countries. In addition, BioSante will continue to be subject to FDA review and periodic inspections to ensure adherence to applicable regulations. After receiving marketing approval, the FDA imposes extensive regulatory requirements on the manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and record keeping related to the product.

        If BioSante fails to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other applicable U.S. and foreign regulatory authorities or previously unknown problems with any future products, suppliers or manufacturing processes are discovered, BioSante could be subject to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including:

    restrictions on the products, suppliers or manufacturing processes;

    warning letters or untitled letters;

    civil or criminal penalties or fines;

    injunctions;

    product seizures, detentions or import bans;

    voluntary or mandatory product recalls and publicity requirements;

    suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;

    total or partial suspension of production; and

    refusal to approve pending applications for marketing approval of new drugs or supplements to approved applications.

         BioSante may enter into additional strategic relationships with third parties to help develop and commercialize its products in development. If BioSante does not enter into such relationships, BioSante will need to undertake development and commercialization efforts on its own, which would be costly and could delay BioSante's ability to obtain required approvals for and commercialize its future products.

        A key element of BioSante's business strategy is BioSante's intent to partner selectively with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other companies to obtain assistance for commercialization and, in some cases, development of its products. For example, BioSante has a strategic relationship with Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with respect to Elestrin, with Teva with respect to BioSante's male testosterone gel, and with Pantarhei Science with respect to The Pill Plus. BioSante currently does not have a strategic partner for LibiGel.

        BioSante may enter into additional strategic relationships with third parties to develop, and if regulatory approval is obtained commercialize, its products in development, including LibiGel, and any additional new products BioSante may acquire or in-license. BioSante faces significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic partners, and these strategic relationships can be intricate and time consuming to negotiate and document. BioSante may not be able to negotiate additional strategic relationships on acceptable terms, or at all. BioSante is unable to predict when, if ever, it will enter into any additional strategic relationships because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with establishing such relationships. If BioSante is unable to negotiate additional strategic relationships for its products, BioSante may be forced to curtail the development of a particular product, reduce, delay or terminate its development program or one or more of its other development programs, delay its potential commercialization, reduce the scope of anticipated sales or marketing activities or undertake development or commercialization activities at BioSante's own expense. In addition, BioSante would then bear all the risk related to the development and commercialization of that product. If BioSante elects to increase its expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities on its own, BioSante may need to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to BioSante on acceptable terms, or at all. If BioSante does not have sufficient funds, BioSante will not be able to bring its products in development and any additional new products BioSante may acquire or in-license if they receive regulatory approvals to market and generate product revenue.

         If BioSante is unable to partner with a third party and obtain assistance for the potential commercialization of its products, if approved for commercial sale, BioSante would need to establish its own sales and marketing capabilities, which involves risk.

        BioSante does not have an internal sales and marketing organization and has limited experience in the sales, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products. There are risks involved with establishing BioSante's own sales capabilities and increasing its marketing capabilities, as well as entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services. Developing an internal sales force is expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. On the other hand, if BioSante enters into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing and distribution services, revenues from sales of the product or the profitability of these product revenues are likely to be lower than if BioSante markets and sells any products that BioSante develops itself.

        Although BioSante's preferred alternative would be to engage a pharmaceutical or other healthcare company with an existing sales and marketing organization and distribution systems to sell, market and distribute its products, if approved for commercial sale, if BioSante is unable to engage such a sales and marketing partner, BioSante may need to establish its own specialty sales force. Factors that may inhibit BioSante's efforts to commercialize any future products without strategic partners or licensees include:

    BioSante's inability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel;

59


Table of Contents

    the inability of sales personnel to obtain access to or persuade adequate numbers of physicians to prescribe any future products;

    the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put BioSante at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and

    unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent sales and marketing organization.

        Because the establishment of sales and marketing capabilities depends on the progress towards commercialization of BioSante's products and because of the numerous risks and uncertainties involved with establishing its own sales and marketing capabilities, BioSante is unable to predict when, if ever, BioSante will establish its own sales and marketing capabilities. If BioSante is not able to partner with additional third parties and are unsuccessful in recruiting sales and marketing personnel or in building a sales and marketing infrastructure, BioSante will have difficulty commercializing its products, which would harm its business and financial condition.

         BioSante's current strategic relationships and any future additional strategic relationships it may enter into involve risks with respect to the development and commercialization of its products.

        A key element of BioSante's business strategy is to selectively partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other companies to obtain assistance for commercialization and, in some cases, development of BioSante's products. For example, BioSante has strategic relationships with Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with respect to Elestrin, with Teva with respect to its male testosterone gel, and with Pantarhei Science with respect to The Pill Plus.

        BioSante's current strategic relationships and any future additional strategic relationships BioSante may enter into involve a number of risks, including:

    business combinations or significant changes in a strategic partner's business strategy may affect adversely a strategic partner's willingness or ability to complete its obligations under any arrangement;

    BioSante may not be able to control the amount and timing of resources that its strategic partners devote to the development or commercialization of its partnered products;

    strategic partners may delay clinical trials, provide insufficient funding, terminate a clinical trial or abandon a partnered product, repeat or conduct new clinical trials or require a new version of a product for clinical testing;

    strategic partners may not pursue further development and commercialization of partnered products resulting from the strategic partnering arrangement or may elect to delay research and development programs or commercialization of a partnered product;

    strategic partners may not commit adequate resources to the marketing and distribution of BioSante's partnered products, limiting BioSante's potential revenues from these products;

    disputes may arise between BioSante and its strategic partners that result in the delay or termination of the research, development or commercialization of its partnered products or that result in costly litigation or arbitration that diverts management's attention and consumes resources;

    strategic partners may experience financial difficulties;

    strategic partners may not maintain properly or defend BioSante's intellectual property rights or may use its proprietary information in a manner that could jeopardize or invalidate its proprietary information or expose BioSante to potential litigation;

60


Table of Contents

    strategic partners independently could move forward with competing products developed either independently or in collaboration with others, including BioSante's competitors; and

    strategic partners could terminate or delay the arrangement or allow it to expire, which would delay the development or commercialization of the partnered product and may increase the cost of developing or commercializing the partnered product.

         Although BioSante maintains the right to receive sales-based milestones of up to $140 million, its ability to receive these milestones is dependent upon Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s ability to market and sell Elestrin, and based on Elestrin sales to date, BioSante believes it is unlikely that it will receive any sales-based milestone payments from Meda Pharmaceuticals in the foreseeable future, or at all.

        Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (which acquired Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s women's health business, and which in turn had acquired BioSante's original licensee, Azur Pharma International II Limited (Azur)), is marketing Elestrin in the U.S. In December 2009, BioSante entered into an amendment to its original licensing agreement with Azur pursuant to which BioSante received $3.16 million in non-refundable payments in exchange for the elimination of all remaining future royalty payments and certain milestone payments that could have been paid to BioSante related to sales of Elestrin. BioSante continues to recognize certain royalty revenue from sales of Elestrin; however, such revenue is offset by its corresponding obligation to pay royalties to Antares, from whom BioSante licensed the technology underlying its Elestrin product. BioSante maintains the right to receive up to $140 million in sales-based milestone payments from Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. if Elestrin reaches certain predefined sales per calendar year. BioSante can provide no assurance that Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will be successful in marketing Elestrin, Elestrin will be accepted widely in the marketplace or that Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will remain focused on the commercialization of Elestrin, especially if Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. does not experience significant Elestrin sales. Based on current sales of Elestrin, BioSante believes it is unlikely that BioSante will receive any sales-based milestone payments from Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the near term, if at all.

         If BioSante's products in development receive FDA approval and are introduced commercially, they may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance, which could harm BioSante's business, financial position and operating results and could cause the trading price of BioSante common stock to decline.

        The commercial success of BioSante's products in development, if BioSante receives the required FDA or other regulatory approvals, and the commercial success of its male testosterone gel, which is FDA approved, but not yet commercially launched, are dependent upon acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and the medical community. Levels of market acceptance for such products, if approved for commercial sale with respect to BioSante's products in development, could be affected by several factors, including:

    demonstration of efficacy and safety in clinical trials with respect to BioSante's products in development;

    the existence, prevalence and severity of any side effects;

    the availability of competitive or alternative treatments and potential or perceived advantages or disadvantages compared to competitive or alternative treatments;

    the timing of market entry relative to competitive treatments;

    relative convenience, product dependability and ease of administration;

    the strength of marketing and distribution support;

    the sufficiency of coverage and reimbursement of BioSante's products by third-party payors and governmental and other payors; and

61


Table of Contents

    the product labeling or product insert required by the FDA or regulatory authorities in other countries.

        Some of these factors are not within BioSante's control, especially if BioSante has transferred all of the marketing rights associated with the product, as BioSante has with the U.S. marketing rights to Elestrin to Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and the U.S. development and marketing rights to its male testosterone gel to Teva. BioSante's products may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance.

        Additionally, continuing studies of the proper utilization, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by other companies, government agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the use, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. In some cases, these studies have resulted, and in the future may result, in the discontinuance of product marketing. These situations, should they occur, could harm BioSante's business, financial position and results of operations, and the trading price of BioSante common stock could decline.

         Even if BioSante or its strategic partners successfully develop, obtain required regulatory approvals and commercialize any of its products under development, BioSante faces uncertainty with respect to pricing, third-party reimbursement and healthcare reform, all of which could affect adversely the commercial success of BioSante's products.

        BioSante's ability to collect significant revenues from sales of its products, if approved and commercialized, may depend on its ability, and the ability of any current or potential future strategic partners or customers, to obtain adequate levels of coverage and reimbursement for such products from third-party payers such as:

    private health insurers;

    health maintenance organizations;

    pharmacy benefit management companies;

    government health administration authorities; and

    other healthcare-related organizations.

        Third-party payers increasingly are challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. For example, third-party payers may deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement if they determine that a prescribed product has not received appropriate clearances from the FDA, or foreign equivalent, or other government regulators, is not used in accordance with cost-effective treatment methods as determined by the third-party payer, or is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. Prices also could be driven down by health maintenance organizations that control or significantly influence purchases of healthcare services and products. If third-party payers deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement, BioSante or any of its strategic partners may not be able to market its products effectively or it may be required to offer its products at prices lower than anticipated.

        In both the U.S. and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals and initiatives to change the health care system in ways that could affect BioSante's ability to sell its products profitably. Some of these proposed and implemented reforms could result in reduced reimbursement rates for BioSante's products, which could affect adversely its business strategy, operations and financial results. For example, in March 2010, President Obama signed into law a legislative overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Healthcare and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, which is referred to as the PPACA. This legislation may have far reaching consequences for life science companies like BioSante. As a result of this new legislation, substantial

62


Table of Contents

changes could be made to the current system for paying for healthcare in the United States, including changes made in order to extend medical benefits to those who currently lack insurance coverage. Extending coverage to a large population could substantially change the structure of the health insurance system and the methodology for reimbursing medical services, drugs and devices. These structural changes could entail modifications to the existing system of private payors and government programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, creation of a government-sponsored healthcare insurance source, or some combination of both, as well as other changes. Restructuring the coverage of medical care in the United States could impact the reimbursement for prescribed drugs, biopharmaceuticals and medical devices. If reimbursement for BioSante's products, if approved, is substantially less that BioSante expects in the future, its business could be affected materially and adversely.

        The cost-containment measures that healthcare providers are instituting and the results of healthcare reforms such as the PPACA may prevent BioSante from maintaining prices for its products that are sufficient for BioSante to realize profits and may otherwise significantly harm its business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, to the extent that BioSante's approved products are marketed outside of the United States, foreign government pricing controls and other regulations may prevent BioSante from maintaining prices for such products that are sufficient for BioSante to realize profits and may otherwise significantly harm its business, financial condition and operating results.

         BioSante and its licensees depend on third-party manufacturers to produce its products and if these third parties do not manufacture successfully these products BioSante's business would be harmed.

        BioSante has no manufacturing experience or manufacturing capabilities for the production of its products for its clinical studies or, if approved, commercial sale. In order to continue to develop products, apply for regulatory approvals and commercialize BioSante's products following approval, if obtained, BioSante or its licensees must be able to manufacture or contract with third parties to manufacture its products in clinical and commercial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, at acceptable costs and in a timely manner. The manufacture of BioSante's products may be complex, difficult to accomplish and difficult to scale-up when large-scale production is required. Manufacture may be subject to delays, inefficiencies and poor or low yields of quality products. The cost of manufacturing BioSante's products may make them prohibitively expensive. If supplies of any of BioSante's products become unavailable on a timely basis or at all or are contaminated or otherwise lost, BioSante's clinical studies could be seriously delayed or compromised, and with respect to its approved products, its future revenue from royalties and milestone payments could be affected adversely.

         To the extent that BioSante or its licensees enter into manufacturing arrangements with third parties, BioSante and such licensees will depend upon these third parties to perform its obligations in a timely and effective manner and in accordance with government regulations. Contract manufacturers may breach their manufacturing agreements because of factors beyond BioSante's control or may terminate or fail to renew a manufacturing agreement based on their own business priorities at a time that is costly or inconvenient for BioSante.

        BioSante's existing and future contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to successfully produce, store and distribute BioSante's products. If a natural disaster, business failure, strike or other difficulty occurs, BioSante may be unable to replace these contract manufacturers in a timely or cost-effective manner and the production of its products would be interrupted, resulting in delays and additional costs. Switching manufacturers or manufacturing sites would be difficult and time-consuming because the number of potential manufacturers is limited. In addition, before a product from any replacement manufacturer or manufacturing site can be commercialized, the FDA must approve that site. This

63


Table of Contents

approval would require regulatory testing and compliance inspections. A new manufacturer or manufacturing site also would have to be educated in, or develop substantially equivalent processes for, production of BioSante's products. It may be difficult or impossible to transfer certain elements of a manufacturing process to a new manufacturer or for BioSante to find a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms quickly, or at all, either of which would delay or prevent its ability to develop and commercialize its products.

        If third-party manufacturers fail to perform their obligations, BioSante's competitive position and ability to generate revenue may be affected adversely in a number of ways, including:

    BioSante and its strategic partners may be unable to initiate or continue clinical studies of its products that are under development;

    BioSante and its strategic partners may be delayed in submitting applications for regulatory approvals for its products that are under development; and

    BioSante and its strategic partners may be unable to meet commercial demands for any approved products.

        In addition, if a third-party manufacturer fails to perform as agreed, BioSante's ability to collect damages may be contractually limited.

         If BioSante reallocates its resources to other products and technologies in its current product portfolio or any additional new products and technologies that BioSante may acquire or in-license, BioSante may not be successful in developing such products and technologies and BioSante will be subject to all the risks and uncertainties associated with research and development of products and technologies.

        BioSante has explored the possibility of reallocating its resources towards other products and technologies in its current product portfolio or any additional new products and technologies that BioSante may acquire or in-license. It BioSante decides to reallocate its resources towards other products and technologies in its current product portfolio or any additional new products and technologies that BioSante may acquire or in-license, BioSante cannot guarantee that any such allocation would result in the identification and successful development of one or more approved and commercially viable products. The development of products and technologies is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

    the time, costs and uncertainty associated with the clinical testing required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of BioSante's products and obtain regulatory approvals;

    the ability to raise sufficient funds to fund the research and development of BioSante's products;

    the ability to find third party strategic partners to assist or share in the costs of product development, and potential dependence on such strategic partners, to the extent BioSante relies on them for future sales, marketing or distribution;

    the ability to protect the intellectual property rights associated with BioSante's products;

    litigation;

    competition;

    ability to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements;

    government restrictions on the pricing and profitability of products in the United States and elsewhere; and

    the extent to which third-party payers, including government agencies, private health care insurers and other health care payers, such as health maintenance organizations, and self-insured employee plans, will cover and pay for newly approved therapies.

         BioSante has very limited staffing and is dependent upon key employees and the limited use of independent contractors, the loss of some of which could affect adversely its operations.

        BioSante's success is dependent upon the efforts of a relatively small management team and staff. BioSante engages independent contractors from time-to-time on an as needed, project by project, basis. During 2012, in order to reduce BioSante's operating expenses, BioSante terminated independent contractor arrangements and reduced its total employee headcount. During first quarter of 2013, BioSante further reduced its total employee headcount. Such reductions in force, combined with BioSante's future business prospects and financial condition, put BioSante at risk of losing key personnel who BioSante will need going forward to implement its business strategies. BioSante has no redundancy of personnel in key development areas, including clinical, regulatory, strategic planning and finance. BioSante has employment arrangements in place with its executive and other officers, but none of these executive and other officers is bound legally to remain employed with BioSante for any specific term. BioSante does not have key man life insurance policies covering its executive and other officers or any of its other employees. If key individuals leave BioSante, its business could be affected adversely if suitable replacement personnel are not recruited quickly. There is competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industry in the suburban Chicago, Illinois area in all functional areas, which makes it difficult to retain and attract the qualified personnel necessary for the development and growth of BioSante's business. BioSante's financial condition and recent reductions in force and expense reductions may make it difficult for BioSante to retain current personnel and attract qualified employees and independent contractors in the future.

         If plaintiffs bring product liability lawsuits against BioSante, BioSante may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to delay development or limit commercialization of any of BioSante's products approved for commercial sale.

        BioSante faces an inherent risk of product liability as a result of the clinical testing of its products in development and the commercial sale of its products that have been or will be approved for commercial sale. BioSante may be held liable if any product it develops causes injury or is found otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased demand for BioSante's products, injury to its reputation, withdrawal of clinical studies, costs to defend litigation, substantial monetary awards to clinical study participants or patients, loss of revenue and the inability to commercialize any products that BioSante develops.

        BioSante currently maintains limited product liability insurance. BioSante may not have sufficient resources to pay for any liabilities resulting from a personal injury or other claim excluded from, or beyond the limit of, BioSante's insurance coverage. BioSante's insurance does not cover third parties' negligence or malpractice, and its clinical investigators and sites may have inadequate insurance or none at all. In addition, in order to conduct BioSante's clinical studies or otherwise carry out its business, BioSante may have to assume liabilities contractually for which it may not be insured. If BioSante is unable to look to its own or a third party's insurance to pay claims against them, BioSante may have to pay any arising costs and damages themselves, which may be substantial. Even if BioSante ultimately is successful in product liability litigation, the litigation likely would consume substantial amounts of its financial and managerial resources and may create adverse publicity, all of which likely would impair BioSante's ability to generate sales of the affected product and its other products. Moreover, product recalls may be issued at BioSante's discretion or at the direction of the FDA, other governmental agencies or other companies having regulatory control for its product sales. Product

65


Table of Contents

recalls generally are expensive and often have an adverse effect on the reputation of the products being recalled and of the product's developer or manufacturer.

        BioSante may be required to indemnify third parties against damages and other liabilities arising out of its development, commercialization and other business activities, which could be costly and time-consuming and distract management. If third parties that have agreed to indemnify BioSante against damages and other liabilities arising from their activities do not fulfill their obligations, then BioSante may be held responsible for those damages and other liabilities.

         Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of BioSante common stock.

        Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires BioSante's management to assess the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and to provide a report by its registered independent public accounting firm addressing the effectiveness of BioSante's internal control over financial reporting. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) provides a framework for companies to assess and improve their internal control systems. If BioSante is unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective or if BioSante's registered independent public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls or identifies one or more material weaknesses in BioSante's internal control over financial reporting, BioSante could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of its financial reports, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the trading price of BioSante common stock. If BioSante fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, BioSante may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that BioSante has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on the trading price of BioSante common stock.

         BioSante's business is subject to increasingly complex corporate governance, public disclosure and accounting requirements that could affect adversely its business and financial results.

        BioSante is subject to changing rules and regulations of federal and state governments as well as the stock exchange on which BioSante common stock is listed. These entities, including the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market, continue to issue new requirements and regulations in response to laws enacted by Congress. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation-related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that require the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market to adopt additional rules and regulations in these areas. BioSante's efforts to comply with these requirements have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, an increase in expenses and a diversion of management's time from its other business activities.

         BioSante's operations might be interrupted by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.

        BioSante's principal executive office and its only business location is in Lincolnshire, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events could disrupt BioSante's operations or those of its strategic partners, contractors and vendors. Even though BioSante believes it carries commercially reasonable business interruption and liability insurance, and its contractors may carry liability insurance that protect BioSante in certain events, BioSante might suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under its and its contractors' insurance policies or for which it or its contractors do not have coverage. Any natural disaster or catastrophic event could have a significant negative impact on BioSante's operations and financial results, and could delay its efforts to identify and execute any strategic opportunities.

Risks Related to BioSante's Industry

         Because BioSante's industry is very competitive, BioSante may not succeed in bringing certain of its products to market and any products BioSante or its strategic partners introduce commercially may not be successful.

        Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Potential competitors in the United States and abroad are numerous and include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, most of which have substantially greater capital resources and more experience in research and development, manufacturing and marketing than BioSante. Academic institutions, hospitals, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also are conducting research and seeking patent protection and may develop and commercially introduce competing products or technologies on their own or through joint ventures. BioSante cannot assure you that its potential competitors, some of whom are BioSante's strategic partners, will not succeed in developing similar technologies and products more rapidly than it does, commercially introducing such technologies and products to the marketplace prior to BioSante, or that these competing technologies and products will not be more effective or successful than any of those that BioSante currently is developing or will develop.

         Because the pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, BioSante faces significant costs and uncertainties associated with its efforts to comply with applicable regulations. Should BioSante fail to comply, it could experience material adverse effects on its business, operating results and financial position, and the trading price of BioSante common stock could decline.

        The pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by various federal authorities, including principally the FDA and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and state governmental authorities. The U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of BioSante's products. Noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can have a broad range of consequences, including warning letters, fines, seizure of products, product recalls, total or partial suspension of production and distribution, refusal to approve NDAs or other applications or revocation of approvals previously granted, withdrawal of product from marketing, injunction, withdrawal of licenses or registrations necessary to conduct business, disqualification from supply contracts with the government, civil penalties, debarment and criminal prosecution.

        In addition to compliance with "current good manufacturing practice" regulations, commonly referred to as "cGMP" regulations and requirements, drug manufacturers must register each manufacturing facility with the FDA and list their drugs with the FDA. Manufacturers and distributors of prescription drug products also are required to be registered in the states where they are located and in certain states that require registration by out-of-state manufacturers and distributors. Manufacturers also must be registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and similar applicable state and local regulatory authorities if they handle controlled substances, and also must comply with other applicable U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and state requirements.

        Despite BioSante's efforts at compliance, there is no guarantee that BioSante may not be deemed to be deficient in some manner in the future. If BioSante was deemed to be deficient in any significant way, its business, financial position and results of operations could be materially affected and the trading price of BioSante common stock could decline.

         The trend towards consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may affect BioSante adversely.

        There is a trend towards consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This consolidation trend may result in the remaining companies in these industries having greater financial

67


Table of Contents

resources and technological capabilities, thus intensifying competition in these industries. This trend also may result in fewer potential strategic partners or licensees for BioSante's products and technology. Also, if a consolidating company is already doing business with its competitors, BioSante may lose existing licensees or strategic partners as a result of such consolidation. This trend may affect adversely BioSante's ability to enter into strategic arrangements for the development and commercialization of its products, and as a result may harm its business.

Risks Related to BioSante's Intellectual Property

         BioSante licenses rights to the technology underlying LibiGel and many of its other products and technologies from third parties. The loss of these rights, including in particular, BioSante's rights underlying LibiGel, could have an adverse effect on its business and future prospects and could cause the trading price of BioSante common stock to decline.

        BioSante licenses rights to certain technology underlying its gel products, including LibiGel, but not its male testosterone gel, from Antares Pharma, Inc., and The Pill Plus from Wake Forest University Health Sciences. BioSante may lose its rights to these technologies if BioSante breaches its obligations under the license agreements. Although BioSante intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to meet these obligations and to cause its sublicensees to meet these obligations, if BioSante violates or fails to perform any term or covenant of the license agreements, the other party to these agreements under certain circumstances may terminate these agreements or certain projects contained in these agreements. The termination of these agreements, however, will not relieve BioSante of its obligation to pay any royalty or license fees owed at the time of termination. In addition, it is possible that the licensors of the technology licensed by BioSante will not continue to maintain certain patents and other intellectual property rights, breach the agreements or take actions inconsistent with BioSante's license rights, which could harm BioSante's business.

         BioSante has licensed some of its products to third parties and any breach by these parties of their obligations under these license agreements or a termination of these license agreements by these parties could affect adversely the development and marketing of its licensed products. In addition, these third parties also may compete with BioSante with respect to some of its products.

        BioSante has licensed some of its products to third parties, including Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Pantarhei Bioscience B.V. and Valeant Pharmaceuticals. All of these parties, except for Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have agreed to be responsible for continued development, regulatory filings and manufacturing and marketing associated with the products, except for Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which has not agreed to be responsible for manufacturing the products. In addition, in the future BioSante may enter into additional similar license agreements. BioSante's products that it has licensed to others thus are subject to not only customary and inevitable uncertainties associated with the drug development process, regulatory approvals and market acceptance of products, but also depend on the respective licensees for timely development, obtaining required regulatory approvals, commercialization and otherwise continued commitment to the products. BioSante's current and future licensees may have different and, sometimes, competing priorities. BioSante cannot assure you that its strategic partners or any future third party to whom it may license its products will remain focused on the development and commercialization of its partnered products or will not otherwise breach the terms of its agreements with them, especially since these third parties also may compete with BioSante with respect to some of its products. Any breach of BioSante's agreements by its strategic partners or any other third party of their obligations under these agreements or a termination of these agreements by these parties could harm development of the partnered products in these agreements if BioSante is unable to license the products to another party on substantially the same or better terms or continue the development and future commercialization of the products itself. As an example, BioSante's male testosterone gel was developed initially by BioSante, and then licensed

68


Table of Contents

to Teva for late stage clinical development and commercialization. Teva submitted an NDA for BioSante's male testosterone gel that was approved by the FDA in February 2012. Subsequent to Teva's NDA submission, in April 2011, AbbVie, a marketer of a testosterone gel for men, filed a complaint against Teva alleging patent infringement. The Teva/AbbVie patent infringement litigation was settled in December 2011; however, the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential and have not been disclosed publicly. In light of the settlement agreement, BioSante is uncertain as to when or if Teva will begin to market and sell its male testosterone gel and thus when or if BioSante would begin to receive royalties from such sales.

         If BioSante is unable to protect its proprietary technology, it may not be able to compete as effectively.

        The pharmaceutical industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent and trade secret protection for new technologies, products and processes. BioSante's success will depend, in part, upon its ability to obtain, enjoy and enforce protection for any products it develops or acquires under United States and foreign patent laws and other intellectual property laws, preserve the confidentiality of its trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. BioSante relies on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright and trademark laws and nondisclosure, confidentiality and other contractual arrangements to protect its proprietary technology. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect BioSante's rights or permit BioSante to gain or keep any competitive advantage.

        Where appropriate, BioSante seeks patent protection for certain aspects of its technology. BioSante owned and licensed patents and patent applications, however, may not ensure the protection of its intellectual property for a number of other reasons:

    BioSante does not know whether its licensor's patent applications will result in issued patents.

    Competitors may interfere with BioSante's patents and patent process in a variety of ways. BioSante issued patents and those that may be issued in the future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, which could limit its ability to stop competitors from marketing related products. Competitors also may have BioSante's patents reexamined by demonstrating to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office examiner that the invention was not novel or was obvious.

    BioSante is engaged in the process of developing products. Even if BioSante receives a patent, it may not provide much practical protection. There is no assurance that third parties will not be able to design around BioSante's patents. If BioSante receives a patent with a narrow scope, then it will be easier for competitors to design products that do not infringe on BioSante's patent. Even if the development of BioSante's products is successful and approval for sale is obtained, there can be no assurance that applicable patent coverage, if any, will not have expired or will not expire shortly after this approval. Though patent term extension may be possible for particular products, any expiration of the applicable patent could have a material adverse effect on the sales and profitability of BioSante's products.

    Litigation also may be necessary to enforce patent rights BioSante holds or to protect trade secrets or techniques it owns. Intellectual property litigation is costly and may affect adversely BioSante's operating results. Such litigation also may require significant time by BioSante's management. In litigation, a competitor could claim that BioSante's issued patents are not valid or unenforceable for a number of reasons. If the court agrees, BioSante would lose protection on products covered by those patents.

    BioSante also may support and collaborate in research conducted by government organizations or universities. BioSante cannot guarantee that it will be able to acquire any rights to technology or products derived from these collaborations. If BioSante does not obtain required licenses or rights, it could encounter delays in product development while it attempts to design around

69


Table of Contents

      other patents or it may be prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling products requiring these licenses. There also is a risk that disputes may arise as to the rights to technology or products developed in collaboration with other parties.

        BioSante also relies on unpatented proprietary technology. It is unclear whether efforts to secure BioSante's trade secrets will provide useful protection. BioSante relies on the use of registered trademarks with respect to the branded names of some of its products. BioSante also relies on common law trademark protection for some branded names, which are not protected to the same extent as its rights in the use of its registered trademarks. BioSante cannot assure you that it will be able to meaningfully protect all of its rights in its unpatented proprietary technology or that others will not independently develop and obtain patent protection substantially equivalent proprietary products or processes or otherwise gain access to its unpatented proprietary technology. BioSante seeks to protect its know-how and other unpatented proprietary technology, in part with confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with BioSante's employees and consultants. Such agreements, however, may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for BioSante's proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements or in the event that its competitors discover or independently develop similar or identical designs or other proprietary information. Enforcing a claim that someone else illegally obtained and is using BioSante's trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets.

         The patent protection for BioSante's products may expire before BioSante is able to maximize their commercial value which may subject BioSante to increased competition, inhibit its ability to find strategic partners and reduce or eliminate its opportunity to generate product revenue.

        The patents for BioSante's commercialized products and products in development have varying expiration dates and, when these patents expire, BioSante may be subject to increased competition and it may not be able to recover its development costs. For example, the U.S. patents covering the formulations used in Elestrin and LibiGel which BioSante licenses from Antares Pharma are scheduled to expire in June 2022 and the U.S. patent covering the "method of use" of LibiGel for treating FSD and HSDD will expire in December 2028. Although BioSante has filed additional U.S. patent applications covering LibiGel, it can provide no assurance that such applications will be granted and that the patent applications will issue. In addition to patents, BioSante may receive three years of marketing exclusivity in the United States for LibiGel under the Hatch-Waxman Act and an additional six months of pediatric exclusivity, if BioSante decides to pursue regulatory approval for LibiGel. Depending upon if and when BioSante receives regulatory approval for LibiGel and its other products in development and the then expiration dates of the patents underlying LibiGel and such other products, BioSante may not have sufficient time to recover its development costs prior to the expiration of such patents and consequently it may be difficult to find a strategic partner for such products.

         Claims by others that BioSante's products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights could adversely affect BioSante's operating results and financial condition.

        The pharmaceutical industry has been characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Patent applications are maintained in secrecy in the United States and outside the United States until the application is published. Accordingly, BioSante cannot determine whether its technology would infringe on patents arising from these unpublished patent applications of others. Any claims of patent infringement asserted by third parties would be time-consuming and could likely:

    result in costly litigation;

70


Table of Contents

    divert the time and attention of BioSante's technical personnel and management;

    cause product development delays;

    require BioSante to develop non-infringing technology; or

    require BioSante to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.

        Although patent and intellectual property disputes in the pharmaceutical industry often have been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with these arrangements may be substantial and often require the payment of ongoing royalties, which could hurt BioSante's potential gross margins. In addition, BioSante cannot be sure that the necessary licenses would be available to BioSante on satisfactory terms, or that it could redesign its products or processes to avoid patent infringement, if necessary. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or the failure to obtain necessary licenses, could prevent BioSante from developing, manufacturing and selling some of its products, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. With respect to products which BioSante has licensed to others, BioSante's licensees may be responsible for the defense of any patent infringement claims, which would result in its dependence upon them to defend its intellectual property rights.

Risks Related to BioSante Common Stock

         The trading price of BioSante common stock has been volatile, and your investment in BioSante common stock or convertible senior notes could decline in value.

        The price of BioSante common stock has fluctuated in the past and it is likely that the price of BioSante common stock will continue to fluctuate in the future. Since January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012, the sale price of BioSante common stock ranged from $1.08 per share to $24.12 per share. These prices reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split of BioSante common stock that was effective at the close of business on June 1, 2012. The securities of small capitalization, biopharmaceutical companies, including BioSante, from time-to- time experience significant price fluctuations, often unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. In addition, as BioSante's convertible senior notes are convertible into shares of BioSante common stock, volatility or depressed prices of BioSante common stock could have a similar effect on the trading price of the notes. Interest rate fluctuations also can affect the price of BioSante's convertible senior notes. In particular, the market price of BioSante common stock and its convertible senior notes may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, including:

    general stock market and general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, not directly related to BioSante or its business;

    actual or anticipated governmental agency actions, including in particular decisions or actions by the FDA or FDA advisory committee panels with respect to BioSante's products in development or its competitors' products;

    actual or anticipated results of BioSante's clinical studies or those of its competitors;

    changes in anticipated or actual timing of BioSante's development programs, including delays or cancellations of clinical studies for its products;

    announcements of technological innovations or new products by BioSante or its competitors;

    announcements by licensors or licensees of BioSante's technology;

    entering into new strategic partnering arrangements or termination of existing strategic partnering arrangements;

71


Table of Contents

    developments concerning BioSante's efforts to identify and implement strategic opportunities and the terms and timing of any resulting transactions;

    public concern as to the safety or efficacy of or market acceptance of products developed by BioSante or its competitors;

    BioSante's cash and cash equivalents and its need and ability to obtain additional financing;

    equity sales by BioSante to fund its operations or restructure its outstanding convertible senior notes;

    changes in laws or regulations applicable to BioSante's products;

    the resolution of BioSante's pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation;

    developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights;

    period-to-period fluctuations in BioSante's financial results, including its cash and cash equivalents, operating expenses, cash burn rate or revenues;

    loss of key management;

    common stock sales and purchases in the public market by one or more of BioSante's larger stockholders, officers or directors;

    reports issued by securities analysts regarding BioSante common stock and articles published regarding its business and/or products;

    changes in the market valuations of other life science or biotechnology companies; and

    other financial announcements, including delisting of BioSante common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market, review of any of its filings by the SEC, changes in accounting treatment or restatement of previously reported financial results, delays in its filings with the SEC or its failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

        In addition, the occurrence of any of the risks described in this report or in subsequent reports BioSante files with or submits to the SEC from time to time could have a material and adverse impact on the market price of BioSante common stock. Securities class action litigation is sometimes brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities or for other reasons. BioSante currently is subject to such litigation. Securities litigation, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could harm BioSante's business and financial condition, as well as the market price of BioSante common stock.

         Provisions in BioSante's charter documents and Delaware law could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to BioSante stockholders.

        Provisions of BioSante's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire BioSante, even if doing so would be beneficial to its stockholders. These provisions include:

    authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred shares that could be issued by the BioSante board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;

    prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and

72


Table of Contents

Risks Related to ANI

         In determining whether to approve the merger, you should read carefully the following risk factors. BioSante and ANI anticipate that immediately following the merger the business of the combined company will primarily be the business conducted by ANI immediately prior to the merger. You therefore should read carefully and consider the risks associated with the business of ANI because these risks also relate to the combined company following completion of the merger.

         ANI has a history of losses and negative cash flow, expects losses and negative cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future and cannot offer any assurances that it will ever achieve profitability.

        ANI has never been profitable, has an accumulated deficit of $43.8 million as of December 31, 2012, and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. To bridge the gap between revenues and operating and capital needs, ANI has been dependent on a variety of financing sources, including the issuance of equity securities and convertible notes, and revolving lines of credit.

        ANI cannot guarantee that it will achieve sufficient revenues for profitability. Even if it achieves profitability, it cannot guarantee that it can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed ANI's expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, then ANI's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.

         ANI's future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control, and ANI can offer no assurances that it will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing to cover such requirements on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

        ANI's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

    relative proportions of net revenues comprised of contract manufacturing and sales of ANI generic and branded products;

    pricing and payment terms with customers;

    costs of raw materials and payment terms with suppliers;

    capital expenditures and equipment purchases to support product launches;

    business and product acquisitions; and

    regulatory actions.

        Many of these factors will depend on circumstances beyond ANI's control. For example, ANI's net revenues are concentrated among three customers representing 25 percent, 21 percent and 11 percent of net revenues, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, accounts receivable from these three customers totaled $3.8 million, or approximately 69 percent of

73


Table of Contents

ANI's net accounts receivable. As a result, negotiated payment terms with these customers have a material impact on ANI's liquidity and working capital.

        In addition, two of ANI's generic pharmaceutical products, Opium Tincture and Fluvoxamine Maleate tablets, accounted for approximately 42 percent of ANI's net revenues during 2012. As a result, regulatory actions with respect to these products, market pricing for these products, combined with the costs of raw materials and payment terms with suppliers, have a material impact on ANI's liquidity and working capital.

        If ANI continues to incur losses and is not able to raise adequate funds to cover those losses, it may be required to curtail its activities, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and/or results of operations. The continuing global economic uncertainty has resulted in extreme volatility in the capital markets and is threatening to once again tighten the credit markets. As a result, there can be no assurances that ANI would be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. To the extent that ANI raises additional capital through the sale of securities, the issuance of those securities or shares underlying such securities would result in dilution that could be substantial to its and the combined company's stockholders. In addition, if ANI incurs additional debt financing, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business activities. If adequate funds are not available, ANI's business, financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

         ANI's anticipated revenue growth and profitability, if achieved, is dependent upon ANI's ability to develop and/or license, or otherwise acquire, and introduce new products on a timely basis in relation to its competitors' product introductions, and to navigate the regulatory hurdles before, during and after the introduction of its new products. ANI's failure to do so successfully could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and results of operations.

        ANI's future revenues and profitability will depend, to an extent, upon its ability to successfully develop, license or otherwise acquire, and commercialize, branded and generic pharmaceutical products in a timely manner. Product development is inherently risky and time-consuming. Likewise, product licensing involves inherent risks including uncertainties due to matters that may affect the achievement of milestones, as well as the possibility of contractual disagreements with regard to the supply of product meeting specifications and terms such as license scope or termination rights. The development and commercialization process also requires substantial time, effort and financial resources. ANI may not be successful in commercializing products on a timely basis, if at all, which could adversely affect its business, financial position and results of operations.

        Before any new prescription drug product can be marketed in the United States, marketing authorization approval is required by the FDA. The process of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market branded and generic pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time consuming, costly and largely unpredictable. ANI may be unable to obtain requisite approvals on a timely basis for branded or generic products that it may develop, license or otherwise acquire. Moreover, if ANI obtains regulatory approval for a drug, it may be limited with respect to the indicated uses and delivery methods for which the drug may be marketed, which in turn could restrict its potential market for the drug. Also, for products pending approval, ANI may obtain raw materials or produce batches of inventory to be used in bioequivalence testing, as well as in anticipation of the product's launch. In the event that regulatory approval is denied or delayed, ANI could be exposed to the risk of this inventory becoming obsolete. The timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals could adversely affect ANI's product introduction plans, business, financial position and results of operations.

        The approval process for generic pharmaceutical products often results in the FDA granting simultaneous final approval to a number of generic pharmaceutical products at the time a patent claim

74


Table of Contents

for a corresponding branded product or other market exclusivity expires. This often forces a generic firm to face immediate competition when it introduces a generic product into the market. Additionally, further generic approvals often continue to be granted for a given product subsequent to the initial launch of the generic product. These circumstances generally result in significantly lower prices, as well as reduced margins, for generic products compared to branded products. New generic market entrants generally cause continued price and margin erosion over the generic product life cycle.

        The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the Hatch-Waxman Act), provides for a period of 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity for each abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) applicant that is first-to-file an ANDA containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or unenforceability related to a patent listed with respect to a reference drug product, commonly referred to as a Paragraph IV certification. During this exclusivity period, which under certain circumstances may be required to be shared with other applicable ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications, the FDA cannot grant final approval to other ANDA sponsors holding applications for the same generic equivalent. If an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV certification is successful and the applicant is awarded exclusivity, the applicant generally enjoys higher market share, net revenues and gross margin for that product than otherwise would be the case. However, an ANDA sponsor's ability to obtain 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity may be dependent upon its ability to obtain FDA approval or tentative approval within 30 months of the FDA's acceptance of its ANDA. If ANI is unable to obtain approval or tentative approval within that time period, it may risk forfeiture of such marketing exclusivity. Even if ANI obtains FDA approval for its generic drug products, if it is not the first ANDA applicant to challenge a listed patent for such a product, it may lose significant advantages to a competitor that filed its ANDA containing such a challenge. The same would be true in situations where ANI is required to share its exclusivity period with other ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications. Such situations could have a material adverse effect on ANI's ability to market that product profitably and on its business, financial position and results of operations.

        If ANI is unable to navigate its products through all of the regulatory hurdles it faces in a timely manner, its product introduction plans, business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

        The FDA regulates and monitors all promotion advertising and of prescription drugs after approval. All promotion must be consistent with the conditions of approval and submitted to the agency. Failure to adhere to FDA promotional requirements can result in enforcement letters, warning letters, changes to existing promotional material, and corrective notices to healthcare professionals. Promotion of a prescription drug for uses not approved by the FDA can have serious consequences and result in lawsuits by private parties, state governments and the federal government, significant civil and criminal penalties, and compliance agreements that require the company to change current practices and prevent unlawful activity in the future.

         ANI's operating results and financial condition may fluctuate.

        ANI's operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year for a number of reasons. The following events or occurrences, among others, could cause fluctuations in ANI's financial performance from period to period:

    development of new competitive products or generics by others;

    the timing and receipt of approvals by the FDA;

    the failure to obtain, delay in obtaining or restrictions or limitations on approvals from the FDA;

    difficulties or delays in resolving FDA-observed deficiencies at ANI's manufacturing facilities, which could delay ANI's ability to obtain approvals of pending FDA product applications;

    timing of revenue recognition related to licensing agreements and/or strategic collaborations.

        As a result, ANI believes that period-to-period comparisons of ANI's results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and these comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The above factors may cause ANI's operating results to fluctuate and adversely affect ANI's financial condition and results of operations.

         ANI's obligations under its line of credit are secured by substantially all of its assets. If ANI defaults under the line of credit, the lender may take immediate possession of the collateral and dispose of it.

        Under its line of credit with Alostar Bank of Commerce, as amended, ANI may borrow on a revolving basis, based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, up to a maximum of $6.0 million. The loan agreement bears interest daily at the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 5 percent or (ii) 6 percent. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of ANI's assets. The principal is repayable at the termination date, unless accelerated as a result of certain events of default. If ANI generates any proceeds from the collateral securing the line of credit, such proceeds must be paid to the lender up to the amount of any outstanding balance. Interest is due and payable on the first of every month and at the termination date, unless accelerated as a result of an event of default. In addition, a usage fee equal to 0.375 percent per annum of the unused amounts under the facility and a management fee equal to $18,000 per annum are assessed monthly. The revolving loan agreement expires in June 2015, but can be terminated early in the following circumstances: (a) automatically upon the commencement of insolvency proceedings by or against ANI, (b) at the option of the lender without notice upon any other event of default, and (c) at the option of ANI upon ten business days' prior written notice.

        In the event of early termination, whether effected by ANI, the lender or automatically, ANI is obligated to pay an amount corresponding to a percentage of $6.0 million, with such percentage being: 3 percent if termination occurs in the first year, 2 percent if termination occurs in the second year and 1 percent if termination occurs after the second year but prior to the last day of the term. The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. As of December 31, 2012, approximately $4.1 million was outstanding under the loan agreement, at an effective interest rate of 6.0 percent.

        Events of default under the agreement include, but are not limited to: (i) liquidation, bankruptcy or similar events; (ii) failure to pay any debts due on a timely basis; (iii) failure to observe any covenant or condition under the loan agreement, which failure, in most cases, is not cured within 30 days of written notice by lender; (iv) material misrepresentations; (v) ANI is restrained by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of ANI's business; (vi) certain money judgments are entered against ANI; and (vii) ANI challenges the validity or enforceability of the loan agreement in any proceeding. Remedies for events of default include acceleration of amounts owing under the loan agreement and taking immediate possession of, and selling, any collateral securing the loan, which would have a material adverse effect on ANI's profitability, business, financial position and results of operations.

         ANI's approved products may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance, which could have a material adverse effect on its profitability, business, financial position and results of operations.

        Even if ANI is able to obtain regulatory approvals for its pharmaceutical products, the success of those products is dependent upon market acceptance. Levels of market acceptance for products could be impacted by several factors, including but not limited to:

    the availability of alternative products from ANI's competitors;

    the price of ANI's products relative to that of ANI's competitors;

77


Table of Contents

    the timing of ANI's market entry;

    the ability to market ANI's products effectively to the retail level; and

    the acceptance of ANI's products by government and private formularies.

        Some of these factors are not within ANI's control. Additionally, continuing studies of the proper utilization, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the industry, government agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. In some cases, studies have resulted, and in the future may result, in the discontinuance of product marketing or other risk management programs such as the need for a patient registry. These situations, should they occur, could have a material adverse effect on ANI's profitability, business, financial position and results of operations.

         Certain of ANI's generic products are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs and ANI can offer no assurances that the FDA will not require ANI to seek approval for these products or withdraw them from the market. In either case, ANI's business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

        Certain of ANI's generic products are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs, specifically, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone and Opium Tincture. During 2012, combined net revenues for these products were $6.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

        The FDA's policy with respect to the continued marketing of unapproved products appears in the FDA's September 2011 Compliance Policy Guide, titled "Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs." Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based approach with regard to enforcement against marketing of such unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement action on a case-by-case basis, but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as those with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. While ANI believes that so long as it complies with applicable manufacturing and labeling standards, it will not be targeted for enforcement under the FDA's current enforcement policy, it can offer no assurances that the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products.

        In October 2012, ANI received a telephone call requesting a meeting with the FDA representatives from the Minneapolis district of the FDA to discuss continued manufacturing and distribution of Opium Tincture, which is an unapproved product. That meeting was held on October 25, 2012 by conference telephone call and included FDA representatives from the Office of Compliance at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Counsel to ANI sent a letter to the FDA on November 9, 2012 in support of ANI's position. Although the FDA confirmed receipt of this letter, ANI has received no further response thereto. If, as a result of such discussions or otherwise, the FDA were to make a determination that ANI could not continue to sell Opium Tincture as an unapproved product, ANI would be required to seek FDA approval for such product or withdraw such product from the market. If ANI determined to withdraw the product from the market, ANI's net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products would decline materially, and if ANI decided to seek FDA approval, it would face increased expenses and might need to suspend sales of the product until such approval is obtained, and there are no assurances that ANI would receive such approval.

        In addition, one group of products that ANI manufactures on behalf of a contract customer, and based on the sale of which ANI receives royalties, is marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market, which could materially adversely affect ANI's contract manufacturing and royalty revenue. ANI's contract

78


Table of Contents

manufacturing revenue for this group of unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. ANI's royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $284,000 and $320,000, respectively.

        ANI's manufacture and distribution of drugs without approved NDAs or ANDAs could also result in legal actions by private parties, state governments or the federal government. These entities may allege that ANI has misrepresented the regulatory status of Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone and Opium Tincture resulting in the submission of false claims to federal and state health care programs. Such legal actions could result in fines, penalties, reimbursement, and legal settlements that could bind the company going forward and materially affect ANI's ability to market these products as well as the profitability of ANI's business, financial position and results of operations.

         ANI began its own product development program in 2011 and expects to spend a significant amount of resources on research and development efforts that may not lead to successful product introductions. Failure to successfully introduce products into the market could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and results of operations.

        ANI conducts research and development primarily to enable it to manufacture and market approved pharmaceuticals in accordance with applicable regulations. As ANI develops new products, its research expenses likely will increase. Because of the inherent risk associated with research and development efforts in the industry, ANI's research and development expenditures may not result in the successful introduction of new pharmaceutical products approved by the FDA. Also, after ANI submits a marketing authorization application for a generic product, the FDA may change standards and/or request that ANI conduct additional studies and, as a result, ANI may incur total research and development costs to develop a particular product in excess of what it anticipated. Finally, ANI cannot be certain that any investment made in developing products will be recovered, even if it is successful in commercialization. To the extent that ANI spends significant resources on research and development efforts and is not able, ultimately, to introduce successful new products as a result of those efforts, its business, financial position and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

         ANI is entirely dependent on periodic approval by the DEA for the supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient needed to make Opium Tincture and inability to obtain such approval would reduce or eliminate revenues from the sale of Opium Tincture. In addition, ANI is subject to strict regulation by the DEA and is subject to sanctions if it is unable to comply with related regulatory requirements.

        The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates certain drug products containing controlled substances, such as opium, pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The CSA and DEA regulations impose specific requirements on manufacturers and other entities that handle these substances including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, storage, security and distribution. Recordkeeping requirements include accounting for the amount of product received, manufactured, stored and distributed. Companies handling controlled substances also are required to maintain adequate security and to report suspicious orders, thefts and significant losses. The DEA periodically inspects facilities for compliance with the CSA and its regulations. Failure to comply with current and future regulations of the DEA could lead to a variety of sanctions, including revocation or denial of renewal of DEA registrations, injunctions, or civil or criminal penalties.

        In addition, each year, ANI must submit a request to the DEA for a quota to purchase the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved quota from DEA, ANI would not be able to purchase this ingredient from its supplier. As a result, ANI is entirely dependent upon the DEA to approve, on an annual basis, a quota of active pharmaceutical ingredient that is sufficiently large to support the continued manufacture of Opium Tincture at levels that would maximize ANI's revenues or profits.

         ANI may have to engage in litigation, which could result in substantial cost or distraction, to enforce or defend its proprietary rights and which, if ANI did not prevail, could harm its business and make it more vulnerable to competition.

        In the future, ANI may have to engage in litigation to enforce or defend its proprietary rights, for example, its rights of market exclusivity with respect to certain of its products, or any trademarks it owns for its branded products, such as Cortenema® and Reglan®. In the branded pharmaceutical industry, the majority of an innovative product's commercial value is usually realized during the period in which the product has market exclusivity. In the United States and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there often can be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product's sales; however, following patent expiration, branded products often continue to have market viability based upon the goodwill of the product name, which typically benefits from trademark protection. ANI believes that sales of its branded products have and will continue to benefit from the goodwill of the product name. ANI, therefore, considers market exclusivity and its trademark names to be of material value and acts to protect these rights from infringement.

         ANI may in the future be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties and may have to engage in litigation to determine the scope and validity of third party patents and proprietary rights, which, if it does not prevail, could harm its business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.

        Third parties in the future may file patent applications and obtain patents relating to ANI's products and technologies. Regardless of their ultimate merit, any infringement or other intellectual property claims against ANI's products and technologies may be expensive and time-consuming to litigate and may divert management attention. If any such claim were successful, ANI could be required to obtain licenses to a third party's technologies, patents or other proprietary rights or to their biological or chemical reagents in order to develop and market ANI's products. Moreover, ANI may choose to voluntarily seek such a license in order to avoid the expense and uncertainty of fully defending its position. In either event, such a license may not be available to ANI on acceptable terms or at all, and ANI may have to discontinue that portion of its business. In addition, to the extent ANI licenses its intellectual property to other parties, ANI may incur expenses as a result of contractual agreements in which ANI indemnifies those licensing its technologies against losses incurred if practicing its intellectual property infringes upon the proprietary rights of others. The failure to license any technologies or biological or chemical reagents required to develop or commercialize ANI's technologies or products at reasonable cost may harm ANI's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.

         ANI does not own or license any patents associated with its products, and its ability to protect and control unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation is limited.

        Generally, the branded pharmaceutical business relies upon patent protection to ensure market exclusivity for the life of the patent. ANI does not own or license any patents associated with its products and therefore does not enjoy the same level of intellectual property protection with respect to such products as would a pharmaceutical manufacturer that markets a patented product. ANI has a limited ability to protect and control trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, all of which are unpatented. Others independently may develop similar or better proprietary information and techniques and disclose them publicly. Also, others may gain access to ANI's trade secrets, and ANI may not be able to meaningfully protect its rights to its unpatented trade secrets. In addition, confidentiality agreements and other measures may not provide meaningful protection for ANI's trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information. Failure to protect and

80


Table of Contents

control such trade secrets, know-how and innovation could harm the value of ANI's trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation.

         ANI faces vigorous competition from other pharmaceutical manufacturers that threatens the commercial acceptance and pricing of its products. Such competition could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and results of operations and cash flows.

        The generic pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. ANI faces competition from many U.S. and foreign manufacturers, some of whom are significantly larger than ANI. Its competitors may be able to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to ANI's for many reasons, including but not limited to the possibility that they may have:

    proprietary processes or delivery systems;

    larger research and development and marketing staffs;

    larger production capabilities in a particular therapeutic area;

    more products; or

    more experience in developing new drugs and greater financial resources, particularly with regard to manufacturers of branded products.

        Any of these factors and others could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

         The use of legal, regulatory and legislative strategies by competitors, both branded and generic, including "authorized generics" and citizen's petitions, as well as the potential impact of proposed legislation, may increase ANI's costs associated with the introduction or marketing of ANI's generic products, could delay or prevent such introduction and/or could reduce significantly ANI's profit potential. These factors could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        ANI's competitors, both branded and generic, often pursue strategies to prevent or delay competition from generic alternatives to branded products. These strategies include, but are not limited to:

    entering into agreements whereby other generic companies will begin to market an authorized generic, a generic equivalent of a branded product, at the same time generic competition initially enters the market;

    launching a generic version of their own branded product at the same time generic competition initially enters the market;

    filing citizen's petitions with the FDA or other regulatory bodies, including timing the filings so as to thwart generic competition by causing delays of ANI's product approvals;

    seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence or meet other approval requirements;

    initiating legislative and regulatory efforts to limit the substitution of generic versions of branded pharmaceuticals;

    filing suits for patent infringement that may delay regulatory approval of many generic products;

    introducing "next-generation" products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, which often materially reduces the demand for the first generic product for which ANI seeks regulatory approval;

81


Table of Contents

    obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting clinical trials of branded drugs in pediatric populations or by other potential methods;

    persuading regulatory bodies to withdraw the approval of branded name drugs for which the patents are about to expire, thus allowing the branded name company to obtain new patented products serving as substitutes for the products withdrawn; and

    seeking to obtain new patents on drugs for which patent protection is about to expire.

        In the United States, some companies have lobbied Congress for amendments to the Hatch-Waxman Act that would give them additional advantages over generic competitors. For example, although the term of a company's drug patent can be extended to reflect a portion of the time an NDA is under regulatory review, some companies have proposed extending the patent term by the full amount of time spent in clinical trials rather than by only one half of the time that is currently permitted.

        If proposals like these were to become effective, ANI's entry into the market and its ability to generate revenues associated with new products may be delayed, reduced or eliminated, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

         ANI faces significant uncertainty with respect to the litigation brought against it and other manufacturers of metoclopramide and cannot provide assurances that the outcome of the matter will not have an adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows from operations. In addition, ANI may be exposed to other product liability claims in the future.

        In February 2009, the FDA mandated a "black box" warning for the drug metoclopramide, specifically highlighting the risks of patients developing tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder, when taking metoclopramide for longer than 12 weeks. As a result, numerous state-level lawsuits were brought against pharmaceutical manufacturers, both branded and generic, who ever had manufactured and/or sold metoclopramide. Among the defendants is ANI, which manufactures the generic version and since 2011 has been manufacturing the branded version under the name Reglan®. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim to have incurred bodily injuries as a result of ingestion of metoclopramide or Reglan® prior to the FDA's black box warning requirement. The allegations involve a failure, based on various state-level consumer protection laws, to adequately warn patients and doctors about the risks of using metoclopramide for longer than 12 weeks as evidenced by the FDA's mandate to strengthen the labeled warning. ANI has been named and served in 84 separate complaints between December 2009 and March 2013, including three in Pennsylvania, nine in New Jersey, and 72 in California, covering 2,930 plaintiffs in total. In August 2012, ANI was dismissed with prejudice as a defendant in all of the cases brought in New Jersey.

        As the state-level litigation progressed, the generic pharmaceutical defendants appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that generic companies could not comply with state laws that required them to strengthen their labels because generic companies are prohibited by federal law from making any changes except those adopted by the brand or mandated by FDA for all manufacturers, e.g. federal pre-emption. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of the generic companies in June 2011 in what is known now as the Mensing decision. While many cases since have been dismissed by state courts, several judges, including in Pennsylvania and California, have allowed the plaintiffs to resubmit their complaints.

        At the present time, ANI's management is unable to assess the likely outcome of the remaining cases. ANI's insurance company has assumed the defense of this matter. In addition, ANI's insurance company renewed ANI's product liability insurance on September 1, 2011 and 2012 with absolute exclusions for claims related to Reglan® and metoclopramide. ANI cannot provide assurances that the outcome of these matters will not have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial

condition and cash flow. Furthermore, like all pharmaceutical manufacturers, ANI in the future may be exposed to other product liability claims, which could harm its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

         ANI may experience declines in the sales volume and prices of its products as the result of the continuing trend toward consolidation of certain customer groups, such as the wholesale drug distribution and retail pharmacy industries, as well as the emergence of large buying groups. These developments could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        Consolidation among wholesale distributors, chain drug stores, and group purchasing organizations, has resulted in a smaller number of companies each controlling a larger share of pharmaceutical distribution channels. For example, ANI's net revenues are concentrated among three customers representing 25 percent, 21 percent and 11 percent of net revenues, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, accounts receivable from these three customers totaled $3.8 million, or approximately 69 percent of ANI's net accounts receivable. Drug wholesalers and retain pharmacy chains, which represent an essential part of the distribution chain of generic pharmaceutical products, have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation. This consolidation may result in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing ANI's business. Additionally, the emergence of large buying groups representing independent retail pharmacies and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions potentially enable those groups to extract price discounts on ANI's products. The result of these developments may have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

         Uncertainties associated with the impact of published studies regarding the adverse health effects of certain forms of hormone therapy could affect adversely the market for ANI's hormone products.

        The market for hormone therapy products has been affected negatively by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and other studies that have found that the overall health risks from the use of certain hormone therapy products may exceed the benefits from the use of those products among postmenopausal women. In July 2002, the NIH released data from its WHI study on the risks and benefits associated with long-term use of oral hormone therapy by women. The NIH announced that it was discontinuing the arm of the study investigating the use of oral estrogen/progestin combination hormone therapy products after an average follow-up period of 5.2 years because the product used in the study was shown to cause an increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer. The study also found an increased risk of stroke, heart attacks and blood clots and concluded that overall health risks exceeded benefits from use of combined estrogen plus progestin for an average of 5.2 year follow-up among postmenopausal women. Also, in July 2002, results of an observational study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute on the effects of estrogen therapy were announced. The main finding of the study was that postmenopausal women who used estrogen therapy for 10 or more years had a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than women who never used hormone therapy. In October 2002, a significant hormone therapy study being conducted in the United Kingdom also was halted. In March 2004, the NIH announced that the estrogen-alone study was discontinued after nearly seven years because the NIH concluded that estrogen alone does not affect (either increase or decrease) heart disease, the major question being evaluated in the study. The findings indicated a slightly increased risk of stroke as well as a decreased risk of hip fracture and breast cancer. Preliminary data from the memory portion of the WHI study suggested that estrogen alone may possibly be associated with a slight increase in the risk of dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

        Researchers continue to analyze data from both arms of the WHI study and other studies. Some reports indicate that the safety of estrogen products may be affected by the age of the woman at initiation of therapy. The markets for female hormone therapies for menopausal symptoms declined as

a result of these published studies, although the market now seems to have stabilized. The release of any follow-up or other studies that show adverse effects from hormone therapy, including in particular, hormone therapies similar to ANI's products, also could affect adversely ANI's business.

         ANI has a limited number of manufacturing facilities producing a substantial portion of its products. Production at any one of these facilities could be interrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        A substantial portion of ANI's capacity as well as its current production is attributable to a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third party suppliers. During the year ended December 31, 2012, ANI purchased approximately 60 percent of total costs of goods sold from three suppliers. A significant disruption at any one of the facilities within ANI's internal supply chain, even on a short-term basis, whether due to a labor strike, failure to reach acceptable agreement with labor and unions, adverse quality or compliance observation, act of God, civil or political unrest, or other events could impair ANI's ability to produce and ship products to the market on a timely basis and, among other consequences, could subject ANI to exposure to claims from customers. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        Virtually all contracts for the supply of pharmaceutical products by ANI to customers contain "failure to supply" clauses. Under these clauses, if ANI is unable to supply the requested quantity of product within a certain period after receipt of a customer's purchase order, the customer is entitled to procure a substitute product elsewhere and ANI must reimburse its customer for the difference between ANI's contract price and the price the customer was forced to pay to procure the substitute product. This difference can be substantial because of the much higher spot price at which the customer must cover its requirements, and can be far in excess of the revenue that ANI would otherwise have received on the sale of its own product. The ability to produce and ship a sufficient quantity of product is therefore critical to ANI.

         ANI depends on a limited number of suppliers for active pharmaceutical ingredients.

        ANI's ability to manufacture and distribute drug products is dependent, in part, upon ingredients and components supplied by others, including entities based outside the United States. Any disruption in the supply of these ingredients or components or any problems in their quality could materially affect ANI's ability to manufacture and distribute drug product and could result in legal liabilities that could materially affect ANI's ability to realize profits or otherwise harm ANI's business, financial, and operating results. ANI sources the raw materials for its products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in API suppliers must usually be approved through a Prior Approval Supplement by the FDA. As the API typically comprises the majority of a product's manufactured cost, and qualifying an alternative is costly and time-consuming, API suppliers must be selected carefully based on quality, reliability of supply and long-term financial stability.

        As described above, virtually all contracts for the supply of pharmaceutical products by ANI to customers contain "failure to supply" clauses. The ability to source sufficient quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredients for manufacturing is therefore critical to ANI. For Opium Tincture, this ability to source adequate amounts of raw material is in turn dependent on the quota set by the DEA. See also "Risks Related to ANI—ANI is entirely dependent on periodic approval by the DEA for the supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient needed to make Opium Tincture and inability to obtain such approval would reduce or eliminate revenues from the sale of Opium Tincture. In addition, ANI is subject to strict regulation by the DEA and is subject to sanctions if it is unable to comply with related regulatory requirements."

         Legislative or regulatory programs that may influence prices of pharmaceutical products could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        Current or future federal, state or foreign laws and regulations may influence the prices of drugs and, therefore, could adversely affect the prices that ANI receives for its products. For example, programs in existence in certain states in the U.S. seek to set prices of all drugs sold within those states through the regulation and administration of the sale of prescription drugs. Expansion of these programs, in particular state Medicaid programs, or changes required in the way in which Medicaid rebates are calculated under such programs, could adversely affect the prices ANI receives for its products and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

         Healthcare reform legislation could have a material adverse effect on ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In recent years, there have been numerous initiatives on the federal and state levels for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for, the availability of and reimbursement for healthcare services in the United States, and it is likely that federal and state legislatures and health agencies will continue to focus on health care reform in the future. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act, which amends the PPACA (collectively the Health Reform Laws), were signed into law in March 2010. While the Health Reform Laws may increase the number of patients who have insurance coverage for ANI's products, they also include provisions such as the assessment of a pharmaceutical manufacturer fee and an increase in the amount of rebates that manufacturers pay for coverage of their drugs by Medicaid programs.

        The cost-containment measures that healthcare providers are instituting and the results of healthcare reforms such as the PPACA may prevent ANI from maintaining prices for its products that are sufficient for ANI to realize profits and may otherwise significantly harm its business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, to the extent that ANI's approved products are marketed outside of the United States, foreign government pricing controls and other regulations may prevent ANI from maintaining prices for such products that are sufficient for ANI to realize profits and may otherwise significantly harm its business, financial condition and operating results.

        ANI is unable to predict the future course of federal or state healthcare legislation. The Health Reform Laws and further changes in the law or regulatory framework that reduce ANI's revenues or increase its costs could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

         If third-party payers deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement, ANI or any of its strategic partners may not be able to market its products effectively or it may be required to offer its products at prices lower than anticipated.

        Third-party payers increasingly are challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. For example, third-party payers may deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement if they determine that a prescribed product has not received appropriate clearances from the FDA, or foreign equivalent, or other government regulators, is not used in accordance with cost-effective treatment methods as determined by the third-party payer, or is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. Prices also could be driven down by health maintenance organizations that control or significantly influence purchases of healthcare services and products. If third-party payers deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement, ANI or any of its strategic partners may not be able to market its products effectively or it may be required to offer its products at prices lower than anticipated.

         ANI is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, and complying with these may cause ANI to incur significant costs.

        The pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by various federal authorities, including principally the FDA and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and state governmental authorities. The U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of ANI's products. Noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can have a broad range of consequences, including warning letters, fines, seizure of products, product recalls, total or partial suspension of production and distribution, refusal to approve NDAs or other applications or revocation of approvals previously granted, withdrawal of product from marketing, injunction, withdrawal of licenses or registrations necessary to conduct business, disqualification from supply contracts with the government, civil penalties, debarment and criminal prosecution.

        ANI's research, product development and manufacturing activities have involved the controlled use of hazardous materials, and ANI may incur significant costs as a result of the need to comply with numerous laws and regulations. ANI is subject to laws and regulations enforced by the FDA, the DEA, and other regulatory statutes including the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other current and potential federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of ANI's products, materials used to develop and manufacture such products, and resulting waste products. For example, certain of ANI's products, including Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone, must be manufactured in a fully contained environment due to their potency and/or toxicity, and compliance with related OSHA requirements is costly.

        ANI cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury, by accident or as the result of intentional acts from these materials. In the event of an accident, ANI could be held liable for any damages that result, and any resulting liability could exceed its resources. ANI may also be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. ANI is also subject to laws generally applicable to businesses, including but not limited to, federal, state and local regulations relating to wage and hour matters, employee classification, mandatory healthcare benefits, unlawful workplace discrimination and whistle-blowing. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with any regulation applicable to its business or any whistle-blowing claim, even if without merit, could result in costly litigation, regulatory action or otherwise harm ANI's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.

Table of Contents

        All properly executed proxies that are not revoked will be voted at the BioSante special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. If a holder of BioSante capital stock executes and returns a proxy and does not specify otherwise, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted " FOR " BioSante Proposal No. 1 to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger; " FOR " BioSante Proposal No. 2 to elect all seven of the nominees for director named in this joint proxy/prospectus ; " FOR " BioSante Proposal No. 3 to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013; " FOR " BioSante Proposal No. 4 to approve on an advisory basis the compensation payable to certain executive officers of BioSante under existing arrangements in connection with the merger; and " FOR " BioSante Proposal No. 5 to adjourn the BioSante special meeting, if necessary, if a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of BioSante Proposal No. 1 in accordance with the recommendation of the BioSante board of directors.

        Any BioSante stockholder of record voting by proxy, other than those stockholders who have executed a voting agreement and irrevocable proxy, has the right to revoke the proxy at any time before the polls close at the BioSante special meeting by sending a written notice stating that it would like to revoke its proxy to the corporate secretary of BioSante, by voting again over the Internet or by telephone, by providing a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date than the proxy being revoked or by attending the BioSante special meeting and voting in person. Attendance alone at the BioSante special meeting will not revoke a proxy. A beneficial owner of BioSante common stock that holds shares in "street name" must follow directions received from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds the shares to change its voting instructions.


Quorum and Required Vote

        The presence at the BioSante special meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third (8,162,484 shares) of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock as of the record date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the BioSante special meeting. In general, shares of BioSante common stock and shares of BioSante class C special stock represented by a properly signed and returned proxy card will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote at the BioSante special meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares represented by proxies marked "Abstain" or "Withheld" are counted in determining whether a quorum is present. In addition, a "broker non-vote" is considered in determining whether a quorum is present. A "broker non-vote" is a proxy returned by a broker on behalf of its beneficial owner customer that is not voted on a particular matter because voting instructions have not been received by the broker from the customer, and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on behalf of such customer on such matter. If a quorum is not present at the BioSante special meeting, BioSante expects that the BioSante special meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.

        A description of the vote required to approve each proposal being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders is included with the description of each proposal. If shares are held in "street name" and stockholders holding such shares do not indicate how they wish to vote, brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote such shares on certain "routine" matters. The only routine matter being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting is BioSante Proposal No. 3 to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm. None of the other proposals being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders are routine matters. Accordingly, if BioSante stockholders do not direct their brokers how to vote for a director in BioSante Proposal No. 2 or how to vote for BioSante Proposal No. 1, BioSante Proposal No. 4 or BioSante Proposal No. 5, their brokers may not exercise discretion and may not vote their shares on that proposal. For purposes of BioSante Proposal No. 1, BioSante Proposal No. 2, BioSante Proposal No. 4 and BioSante Proposal No. 5, broker non-votes are considered to be shares represented

by proxy at the BioSante special meeting but are not considered to be shares "entitled to vote" or "votes cast" at the meeting. As such, a broker non-vote will not be counted as a vote "For" or "Withheld" with respect to a director in BioSante Proposal No. 1, or a vote "For" or 'Against' BioSante Proposal No. 2, BioSante Proposal No. 4 and BioSante Proposal No. 5; and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any such proposal. Proxies marked "Abstain" will be counted in determining the total number of shares "entitled to vote" and "votes cast" on each of the proposals being submitted to a vote of BioSante stockholders and will have the effect of a vote "Against" a proposal.

        In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, all of BioSante's directors and officers, who collectively held approximately two percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into a voting agreement with ANI, pursuant to which each stockholder agreed to vote all of their shares of BioSante capital stock in favor of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the merger or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.


Solicitation of Proxies

        In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers, employees and agents of BioSante may solicit proxies from BioSante stockholders by personal interview, telephone, telegram or other electronic means. BioSante will bear the costs of the solicitation of proxies by BioSante from BioSante stockholders. Arrangements also will be made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries who are record holders of BioSante common stock for the forwarding of solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock. BioSante will reimburse these brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur in connection with the forwarding of solicitation materials. BioSante has retained Phoenix Advisory Partners, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the matters being submitted to BioSante stockholders for a fee of approximately $8,000.


Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households Where Two or More Stockholders Reside

        Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of "householding" proxy statements. This means that only one copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any BioSante stockholder may have been sent to multiple stockholders in each household. BioSante will promptly deliver a separate copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any BioSante stockholder upon written or oral request to BioSante's Investor Relations Department, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 111 Barclay Boulevard, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069, telephone: (847) 478-0500 ext. 120; e-mail: info@biosantepharma.com.


Other Matters

        As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the BioSante board of directors does not know of any business to be represented at the BioSante special meeting other than as set forth in the notice accompanying this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters should properly come before the BioSante special meeting, or any adjournment or postponement of the BioSante special meeting it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the person voting the proxies.

MATTERS BEING SUBMITTED TO A VOTE OF BIOSANTE STOCKHOLDERS

BioSante Proposal No. 1—The Issuance of Shares of BioSante Common Stock in the Merger

General

        At the BioSante special meeting, BioSante stockholders will be asked to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger.

        If the merger is completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ANI capital stock they hold, that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. Following completion of the merger, the ANI stockholders will own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and BioSante stockholders will own 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company. If the merger had been completed on [                        ], 2013, the record date for the BioSante special meeting, an aggregate of approximately 32.8 million shares of BioSante common stock would have been issuable to ANI stockholders upon completion of the merger.

        The terms of, reasons for and other aspects of the merger agreement, the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger are described in detail in the other sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The full text of the merger agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Vote Required; Recommendation of BioSante Board of Directors

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for approval of BioSante Proposal No. 1.

        A failure to submit a proxy card or vote at the BioSante special meeting or a "broker non-vote" will have no effect on the outcome of BioSante Proposal No. 1. For purposes of the vote on this BioSante Proposal No. 1, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such proposal.

         The BioSante board of directors unanimously recommends that BioSante stockholders vote "FOR" BioSante's Proposal No. 1 to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger.

        The BioSante board of directors has nominated the following seven individuals to serve as BioSante's directors until the next annual meeting of BioSante stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. All of the nominees named below are current members of the BioSante board of directors.

        Proxies only can be voted for the number of persons named as nominees in this joint proxy statement, which is seven.

        If prior to the BioSante special meeting, the BioSante board of directors should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve for any reason, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for this nominee will be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the BioSante board of directors. Alternatively, the proxies, at the discretion of the BioSante board of directors, may be voted for that fewer number of nominees as results from the inability of any nominee to serve. The BioSante board of directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.

        BioSante stockholders should understand that if the merger with ANI is completed, the effect of the election of the seven directors named herein will be limited since the composition of the BioSante board of directors will be changed upon completion of the merger.

Board Designation Rights

Vote Required; Board Recommendation

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for the approval of the election of directors.

BioSante Proposal No. 3—Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        The audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013. Deloitte & Touche LLP has acted as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm since January 1999. Prior to that date, Deloitte & Touche, C.A. in Canada acted as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm since its inception in August 1996.

        Although it is not required to do so, the audit and finance committee wishes to submit the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to BioSante stockholders for ratification. If BioSante stockholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, another independent registered public accounting firm will be considered by the audit and finance committee. Even if the selection is ratified by BioSante stockholders, the audit and finance committee in its discretion may change the selection at any time during the year, if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of BioSante and BioSante stockholders. In addition, BioSante stockholders should understand that if the merger with ANI is completed, the effect of the approval of the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013 will be limited since it is likely that the combined company may switch auditors immediately or shortly after completion of the merger.

        Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the BioSante special meeting to respond to appropriate questions. They also will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish to do so.

Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Fees

Audit and Finance Committee Report

        This report is furnished by the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors with respect to BioSante's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        One of the purposes of the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors is to oversee BioSante's accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of BioSante's annual financial statements. BioSante's management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of complete and accurate financial statements. BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of BioSante's financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report on their audit.

        In performing its oversight role, the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors has reviewed and discussed BioSante's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 with BioSante's management. BioSante's management represented to the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors that BioSante's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP, BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees , as in effect during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Audit and Finance Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board independence and ethics rule, Rule 3526 (Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), as in effect for our year ended December 31, 2012. The Audit and Finance Committee has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence and concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from our company and our management.

        Based on the review and discussions of the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors described above, in reliance on the unqualified opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding BioSante's audited financial statements, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the audit and finance committee of the BioSante board of directors described above and in the audit and finance committee's charter, the audit and finance committee recommended to the BioSante board of directors that BioSante's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 be included in BioSante's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        This report is dated as of February 28, 2013.

BioSante Proposal No. 4—Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation

General

        As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the SEC's rules thereunder, BioSante is asking its stockholders to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation that may be payable to its named executive officers under existing agreements in connection with the merger, as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus under "The Merger—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in Connection with the Merger—Golden Parachute Compensation," including in the associated narrative discussion. In accordance with these requirements, BioSante is asking its stockholders to vote on the adoption of the following resolution:

        "RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be payable to BioSante's named executive officers in connection with the merger, as disclosed in the table captioned "Golden Parachute Compensation" beginning on page 137 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus under "The Merger—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in Connection with the Merger—Golden Parachute Compensation," including the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be payable, are hereby APPROVED."

        The vote on the compensation payable in connection with the merger is a vote separate and apart from the votes on the other BioSante proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. BioSante stockholders may vote to approve this proposal and vote not to approve another proposal, or may vote against this proposal and vote to approve some or all of the other proposals.

        Because the vote on this BioSante Proposal No. 4 is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on BioSante. Accordingly, because BioSante is obligated contractually to pay the compensation covered by this proposal, such compensation will be payable, subject only to the applicable conditions, if the merger is approved and regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote.

Vote Required; Recommendation of BioSante Board of Directors

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for approval of BioSante Proposal No. 4.

        A failure to submit a proxy card or vote at the BioSante special meeting or a "broker non-vote" will have no effect on the outcome of BioSante Proposal No. 4. For purposes of the vote on this BioSante Proposal No. 4, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such proposal.

         The BioSante board of directors unanimously recommends that BioSante stockholders vote "FOR" BioSante Proposal No. 4 to approve the compensation that may be payable to BioSante's named executive officers in connection with the merger, as disclosed in the table captioned "Golden Parachute Compensation" beginning on page 137 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus under "The Merger—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in Connection with the Merger—Golden Parachute Compensation," including the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be payable.

BioSante Proposal No. 5—Approval of Possible Adjournment of the BioSante Special Meeting

General

        BioSante is asking its stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the BioSante special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of approval of BioSante Proposal No. 1.

        If the number of shares of BioSante capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the BioSante special meeting voting in favor of BioSante Proposal No. 1 is insufficient to approve such proposal at the time of the BioSante special meeting, then BioSante may move to adjourn the BioSante special meeting in order to enable the BioSante board of directors to solicit additional proxies in respect of the proposal. In that event, BioSante stockholders will be asked to vote only upon the adjournment proposal, BioSante Proposal No. 5, and not on any other proposal.

        In this proposal, BioSante is asking its stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the BioSante board of directors to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to the proxy or attorney-in-fact to adjourn the BioSante special meeting one or more times for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If BioSante stockholders approve this BioSante Proposal No. 5, BioSante could adjourn the BioSante special meeting and any adjourned session of the BioSante special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from BioSante stockholders that previously have returned properly executed proxies or authorized a proxy by using the Internet or telephone. Among other things, approval of BioSante Proposal No. 5 could mean that, even if BioSante has received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the approval of BioSante Proposal No. 1, that such proposal would be defeated, BioSante could adjourn the BioSante special meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to obtain sufficient votes in favor of such proposal to obtain approval of that proposal.

        BioSante currently does not intend to propose adjournment at the BioSante special meeting if there are sufficient votes to approve BioSante Proposal No. 1.

Vote Required; Recommendation of BioSante Board of Directors

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, is required for approval of BioSante Proposal No. 5.

        A failure to submit a proxy card or vote at the BioSante special meeting or a "broker non-vote" will have no effect on the outcome of BioSante Proposal No. 5. For purposes of the vote on this BioSante Proposal No. 5, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such proposal.

         The BioSante board of directors unanimously recommends that BioSante stockholders vote "FOR" BioSante Proposal No. 5 to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of BioSante Proposal No. 1.

ANI Proposal No. 2—Approval of Possible Adjournment of the ANI Special Meeting

General

        ANI is asking its stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the ANI special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of approval of ANI Proposal No. 1.

        If the number of shares of ANI capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the ANI special meeting voting in favor of ANI Proposal No. 1 is insufficient to approve such proposal at the time of the ANI special meeting, then ANI may move to adjourn the ANI special meeting in order to enable the ANI board of directors to solicit additional proxies in respect of the applicable proposal. In that event, ANI stockholders will be asked to vote only upon the adjournment proposal, ANI Proposal No. 2, and not on any other proposal.

        In this proposal, ANI is asking its stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the ANI board of directors to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to the proxy or attorney-in-fact to adjourn the ANI special meeting one or more times for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If ANI stockholders approve this ANI Proposal No. 2, ANI could adjourn the ANI special meeting and any adjourned session of the ANI special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from ANI stockholders that previously have returned properly executed proxies. Among other things, approval of ANI Proposal No. 2 could mean that, even if ANI has received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the approval of ANI Proposal No. 1 that such proposal would be defeated, ANI could adjourn the ANI special meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to obtain sufficient votes in favor of such proposal to obtain approval of that proposal.

        ANI currently does not intend to propose adjournment at the ANI special meeting if there are sufficient votes to approve ANI Proposal No. 1.

         The ANI board of directors unanimously recommends that ANI stockholders vote "FOR" ANI Proposal No. 2 to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of ANI Proposal No. 1.

THE MERGER

         This section and the section entitled "The Merger Agreement" describe the material aspects of the merger, including the merger agreement. While BioSante and ANI believe that this description covers the material terms of the merger and the merger agreement, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the merger and the merger agreement, including the attached Annexes, and the other documents to which you are referred herein. See "Where You Can Find More Information."


General

        The merger agreement provides that, at the effective time, ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante that was formed for the purpose of the merger, will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ANI capital stock they hold, that number of shares of BioSante common stock equal to the applicable exchange ratio, as such ratio is calculated pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, such that immediately following completion of the merger, the current stockholders of ANI will own 57 percent of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company and current stockholders of BioSante will own 43 percent of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company.

        BioSante stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of BioSante common stock or BioSante class C special stock after the merger. Each share of BioSante common stock will continue to represent one share of BioSante common stock, and each share of BioSante class C special stock will continue to represent one share of BioSante class C special stock, but the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders in the merger will significantly reduce the percentage ownership of BioSante represented by each share of BioSante common stock and each share of BioSante class C special stock.

        The closing of the merger will take place as promptly as practicable after the day on which the last of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement has been satisfied or waived (if permissible), unless BioSante and ANI agree to a different date. However, because the merger is subject to a number of conditions, neither BioSante nor ANI can predict exactly when the closing will occur or if it will occur at all. See "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger" for a more complete description of the conditions that must be satisfied or, if permissible, waived before closing.


Background of the Merger

        As a part of its corporate strategy, BioSante over the past several years actively has sought and implemented strategic alternatives with respect to its products and its company, including licenses, business collaborations and other business combinations or transactions with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

        In 2008, BioSante engaged a financial advisor to assist BioSante in exploring a possible exclusive license of LibiGel to a third party or a possible sale of BioSante. During 2008, BioSante's then financial advisor contacted approximately 100 public and private companies regarding their interest in licensing LibiGel or acquiring BioSante. Approximately 10 of these companies received management presentations from BioSante and/or performed limited due diligence on BioSante. However, almost all of these companies indicated that they were not interested in licensing LibiGel or acquiring BioSante. Of the companies that indicated an interest, none of them submitted a formal bid. BioSante's management, nonetheless, continued to pursue the companies that indicated informally an interest in

103


Table of Contents

licensing LibiGel or acquiring BioSante and other third parties that were subsequently identified by BioSante as possible candidates for a possible business combination, license transaction or other transaction with BioSante. However, no transaction to license LibiGel or acquire BioSante was ever negotiated or completed.

        In October 2009, BioSante acquired Cell Genesys, Inc., a company that was focused on the development and commercialization of novel biological therapies for patients with cancer. Although the primary purpose of BioSante's acquisition of Cell Genesys was to acquire Cell Genesys's cash to use to fund BioSante's LibiGel clinical development program, BioSante also acquired Cell Genesys's rights to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio.

        Subsequent to BioSante's acquisition of Cell Genesys, BioSante continued its development of LibiGel, including its two Phase III efficacy trials and its Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study. BioSante also facilitated further studies and commercialization of its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio in order to bring important cancer therapies to patients in need and maximize the value of the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio to BioSante stockholders. BioSante was successful in coordinating the further development of the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio, including vaccines for the treatment of several different cancers including melanoma, leukemia, pancreatic, breast and prostate cancer, and obtaining FDA orphan drug designations for four of these vaccines—to treat pancreatic cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and melanoma.

        In an attempt to monetize the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio, in July 2010, BioSante engaged a consulting and advisory firm that specializes in transactions in the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries to assist BioSante in exploring strategic alternatives with respect to the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio. BioSante's management and this consulting and advisory firm contacted over 80 companies to determine their interest in licensing some or all of BioSante's GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio. Through management's efforts, BioSante was successful in implementing licensing transactions during 2011 with Aduro BioTech, Inc. and The John P. Hussman Foundation covering certain aspects of the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio.

        In 2010, BioSante again engaged a management consulting company to assist BioSante in exploring a possible exclusive license of LibiGel to a third party. During 2010 and 2011, BioSante's then advisor contacted over 60 public and private companies regarding their interest in the further development and marketing of LibiGel. Approximately 10 of these companies received management presentations from BioSante and/or performed limited due diligence on BioSante regarding LibiGel. Several of these companies expressed interest in a licensing transaction and potential terms were discussed with at least one of these companies. However, based on the passage of time and the then approaching completion of the LibiGel efficacy trials, all of these companies determined that they would wait until BioSante's receipt of the results from its LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. Although some companies indicated that they may be interested in LibiGel after BioSante's receipt of the results from its LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, none of these companies or any other companies indicated any such interest after BioSante's announcement of the results from the LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials in December 2011.

        In December 2011, BioSante announced the results from its two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, which showed that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although LibiGel performed as predicted, increasing satisfying sexual events and sexual desire and decreasing distress associated with low desire, the placebo response in the two efficacy trials was greater than expected, and LibiGel's results were not shown to be statistically different from use of placebo.

        Subsequent to BioSante's announcement of the results from its two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, BioSante implemented several operating expense reduction measures, explored potential new product development projects through in-licensing and mergers and acquisitions, and analyzed further the data from the LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials in an attempt to decide whether to continue to allocate resources to the development of LibiGel and the LibiGel Phase III safety study.

        In January 2012, in order to reduce its operating expenses and conserve cash, BioSante implemented several cost-saving measures, including reducing substantially the number of its independent contractors, resulting in a 25 percent total reduction in BioSante's personnel.

        In February 2012, in order to reduce its then outstanding debt of approximately $20.8 million in aggregate principal amount, and ongoing interest obligations, BioSante issued an aggregate of 1,868,055 shares of BioSante common stock in exchange for the cancellation of $9.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 and the related accrued and unpaid interest of $79,024. After these securities exchange transactions, BioSante had $11.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 outstanding.

        From mid-December 2011 through May 2012, BioSante's management contacted over 50 public and private companies regarding their interest in a possible strategic transaction with BioSante, including in-licensing transactions and other business combinations or transactions. Of these companies, 12 engaged in management presentations with BioSante and/or limited due diligence investigations with BioSante, and approximately 10 of these companies entered into confidentiality agreements with BioSante, including the companies referred to as Company A, Company B and Company C in this section.

        At the same time, from mid-December 2011 through May 2012, BioSante's management continued to analyze further the data from its LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, consulted with key opinion leaders in female sexual dysfunction, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, and met with representatives of the FDA in an attempt to decide whether to continue to allocate resources to the development of LibiGel and the LibiGel Phase III safety study. In addition, during such time period, BioSante's management also explored other alternative potential uses for its LibiGel Phase III safety study data.

        On May 30, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a regular meeting at BioSante's corporate offices in Lincolnshire, Illinois. At this meeting, the BioSante board of directors discussed whether it would be in the best interest of BioSante and its stockholders for BioSante to continue to allocate its resources to the development of LibiGel or allocate its resources to other biopharmaceutical product areas through in-licensing or acquisitions, or combine with or be acquired by a public or private company. After careful consideration of these strategic alternatives, the BioSante board of directors decided to proceed with a plan to continue the development of LibiGel, including continuing the then ongoing LibiGel Phase III safety study and initiating two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. The BioSante board of directors determined that while such a plan was not without risk, it represented the best alternative then available to BioSante and its stockholders. However, the BioSante board of directors also directed BioSante's management to continue its pursuit to seek strategic alternatives and to keep the BioSante board of directors apprised of the status of such efforts so that the BioSante board of directors could revisit from time-to-time as appropriate its decision to continue the development of LibiGel.

        On June 11, 2012, BioSante announced its plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. BioSante subsequently continued to develop a protocol for the two new efficacy trials and to seek an FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials.

        On June 12, 2012, the day after BioSante announced its plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, BioSante received an unsolicited indication of interest from a private specialty pharmaceutical company referred to as Company A to engage in a stock-for-stock transaction pursuant to which 50 percent of the surviving entity would be owned by BioSante stockholders and the remaining 50 percent of which would be owned by Company A stockholders. The indication of interest contemplated that the surviving entity would be managed by Company A's management and would complete development of and submit new drug applications for two of Company A's drug candidates, and, based on statements in the indication of interest, would not pursue any further development of LibiGel.

        On June 18, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the receipt of the indication of interest from Company A, to engage possible financial advisors to assist BioSante and the BioSante board of directors in evaluating a response to the indication of interest from Company A and other strategic alternatives that may be available for BioSante, and BioSante's recently announced plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. A representative of BioSante's legal counsel, Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP (OWD) summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the BioSante board of directors both generally and specifically in considering an all-stock transaction of the type proposed by Company A. After extensive discussion, it was the consensus of the BioSante board of directors that although the board remained committed to BioSante's current business plan and strategy, including the plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, the board also was committed to increasing stockholder value for BioSante stockholders and thus remained open minded as to other strategic alternatives that would increase stockholder value and be in the best interests of BioSante stockholders. The BioSante board of directors directed BioSante's management to request from Company A additional information, including its business plan and strategy, historical and projected financial information, and valuation information, in order to enable the BioSante board of directors to review and analyze the proposal.

        Subsequent to the BioSante board of directors meeting on June 18, 2012, BioSante's president and chief executive officer, Stephen M. Simes, responded to Company A's June 12, 2012 indication of interest requesting additional information from Company A.

        On June 20, 2012, the president and chief executive officer of Company A requested a meeting with Mr. Simes, and BioSante's senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and secretary, Phillip B. Donenberg, to discuss Company A's indication of interest, BioSante's corporate strategy and general aspects of a possible transaction between the two companies.

        On June 21, 2012, BioSante's management reiterated to Company A BioSante's need for additional information from Company A in order to enable BioSante to review and analyze Company A's offer.

        On June 27, 2012, the president and chief executive officer of Company A responded that prior to responding to BioSante's information request, he would like to meet with BioSante's management to discuss Company A's indication of interest.

        On July 3, 2012, the president and chief executive officer of Company A visited BioSante's corporate offices in Lincolnshire, Illinois and met with Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg. The parties discussed Company A's corporate strategy, BioSante's corporate strategy, Company A's indication of interest and general aspects of a possible transaction between the two companies. Subsequent to July 3, 2012, BioSante commenced a due diligence investigation of Company A, including its proposed products, regulatory matters and intellectual property, and gave access to Company A and its advisors to BioSante's electronic data room, which contained legal, regulatory, financial and other documents relating to BioSante and its business. Also subsequent to July 3, 2012, BioSante's management and Company A's management discussed on several occasions in person and via telephone the status of each other's respective due diligence investigations, the material terms of a possible transaction between the two parties and the status and timing of a possible transaction between the two parties.

        On July 9, 2012, BioSante received a non-binding draft term sheet from a public biopharmaceutical company referred to as Company B proposing a stock-for-stock transaction pursuant to which the exchange ratio would be based on BioSante's market capitalization immediately prior to the signing of a definitive agreement. Under the term sheet, 30 percent of the Company B shares to be issued to BioSante stockholders in connection with the transaction would be held back and offset against BioSante's transaction expenses, the remaining principal amount of BioSante's convertible senior notes and certain other costs and expenses, and the completion of the transaction would be conditioned upon BioSante having a specified minimum net cash as of closing. The term sheet also provided for

106


Table of Contents

contingent value rights that would entitle BioSante stockholders to 75 percent of any fees received by Company B from the sale or license of LibiGel and certain milestone payments with respect to products in BioSante's GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio. The term sheet contemplated that Company B's management team would manage the surviving entity and the surviving entity would focus primarily on the further development and commercialization of Company B's products and technologies.

        From July 10, 2012 to July 12, 2012, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg attended the annual JMP Securities 7th Annual Healthcare Conference in New York. During the conference, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg met with five investment banking firms which focused on the biopharmaceutical industry and that BioSante had worked with in the past regarding their interest in acting as a financial advisor for BioSante and assisting BioSante in responding to the indication of interest from Company A and the term sheet from Company B and in raising additional financing to fund the two new LibiGel efficacy trials. In addition, during the conference, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg met with three institutional investors to discuss their interest in a possible equity investment in BioSante to fund the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials.

        Subsequent to BioSante's announcement of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, the trading price of BioSante common stock decreased significantly from a closing sale price of $2.56 per share as of June 8, 2012 to a closing sale price of $2.01 as of July 12, 2012, a decrease of over 20 percent.

        In part as a result of the significant decrease in the trading price of BioSante common stock since the public announcement of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, the input from the five investment banking firms and three institutional investors regarding BioSante's ability to raise the additional financing required to fund the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials and the likely terms of such financing, the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Global Stock Market which limit the ability of NASDAQ listed companies to raise additional financing in discounted equity offerings, the volatility of the stock market in general and the uncertainty of the capital markets environment to raise additional financing, BioSante's management began to recognize the significant risks and uncertainties involved in raising the substantial additional financing that would be required to fund new LibiGel efficacy trials. BioSante's management estimated that new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials would cost approximately $15 to $18 million each, or a combined $30 to $36 million spread over 18 months.

        On July 16, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting for management to update the board with respect to BioSante's business, including the LibiGel clinical development program, and discuss strategic alternatives. At the meeting, BioSante's management presented financial scenarios of BioSante as an ongoing independent publicly traded company, assuming the continuation of the LibiGel Phase III safety study and the initiation of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, but no other clinical development, licensing revenues or equity financings, and assuming a conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study, a decision not to pursue the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, no other clinical development, licensing revenues or equity financings and certain restructuring activities to downsize BioSante's organization. BioSante's management described analyst and investor response to BioSante's June 2012 announcement of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials based on management's several meetings with investment banking firms and investors and the significant decrease in the trading price of BioSante common stock since the announcement. BioSante's management informed the board that raising the substantial additional financing required to fund the new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials would be challenging in light of investor reaction to BioSante's announcement of the new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, BioSante's then current stock price and NASDAQ's limitations on discounted offerings. After extensive discussion, the BioSante board of directors authorized BioSante's management to continue to explore whether there were any strategic alternatives available to BioSante that likely would increase stockholder value more than BioSante's current business plan and strategy. In so directing BioSante's management, the BioSante board of directors recognized that since no cash buyers had emerged over the last five years during BioSante's

107


Table of Contents

efforts to seek strategic alternatives, a cash buyer was unlikely to emerge at this time and thus directed BioSante's management not to expend significant time and resources in pursuing a cash sale of BioSante and to focus on those companies that previously had expressed an interest in a potential business combination with BioSante or otherwise would be likely to be interested in a potential business combination with BioSante.

        On July 18, 2012, Mr. Simes contacted the president and chief executive officer of Company B and informed him that BioSante was undertaking a process to evaluate strategic alternatives for BioSante and that he would discuss Company B's term sheet with the BioSante board of directors.

        On July 19, 2012, Mr. Simes, Mr. Donenberg, Michael C. Snabes, M.D., Ph.D., BioSante's then current Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs, Joanne Zborowski, BioSante's Vice President of Clinical Development, and Jeff Winkelman, Ph.D., BioSante's then current Vice President of Intellectual Property and Contracts, met with representatives of another private biotechnology company referred to as Company C. At this meeting, the parties discussed each other's businesses and the possible terms of a potential transaction between the two companies.

        On July 19, 2012, BioSante and ANI entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement in order to allow the parties to explore and evaluate a possible transaction and conduct initial due diligence.

        On July 23, 2012, ANI sent an exploratory initial indication of interest letter to BioSante that proposed an acquisition of 100 percent of the equity securities of BioSante for total consideration of up to 50 percent of the equity securities of the combined company and additional contingent cash payments of 66 percent of any net cash payments received in connection with BioSante's LibiGel program, up to an aggregate of $40 million.

        On July 26, 2012, BioSante received a written non-binding initial term sheet from Company C proposing a stock-for-stock transaction pursuant to which BioSante as the surviving company would be owned 51 percent by Company C stockholders and 49 percent by BioSante stockholders, but would be managed by Company C's management team and focus primarily on Company C's business. The term sheet also provided for contingent value rights that would entitle BioSante stockholders to 75 percent of any fees received by Company C from the sale or license of LibiGel for a period of two years from the closing date. The term sheet indicated that the transaction would be conditioned upon BioSante having a specified minimum net cash as of closing of the transaction.

        On July 31, 2012, BioSante received a written non-binding letter of intent from Company A proposing a stock-for-stock merger transaction pursuant to which BioSante as the surviving entity would be owned 50 to 60 percent by the Company A stockholders and 40 to 50 percent by BioSante stockholders, with the exact ownership percentages determined based on BioSante's net cash as of closing. The letter of intent indicated that the board of directors of the surviving entity would be comprised of three members selected by Company A, three members selected by BioSante and one member selected by both Company A and BioSante. The letter of intent contemplated that the surviving entity would focus on Company A's business and terminate all clinical development activities relating to LibiGel. The letter of intent contemplated that BioSante's management team would manage the merged company. The letter of intent stated that it would be valid only if executed by BioSante by August 9, 2012.

        During July 2012, in order to reduce further the outstanding principal amount of its convertible senior notes and ongoing interest obligations, BioSante issued an aggregate of 1,784,070 shares of BioSante common stock in exchange for the cancellation of $3.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes and the related accrued and unpaid interest of $20,686. After these securities exchange transactions, BioSante had $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes outstanding.

        On August 3, 2012, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg of BioSante met with Arthur S. Pryzbyl, ANI's president and chief executive officer, and Charlotte C. Arnold, ANI's vice president and chief financial officer, and representatives of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. by telephone to discuss further a potential transaction between BioSante and ANI. Each of ANI's and BioSante's management team gave a corporate presentation on such call.

        On August 7, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting for management to update the board with respect to BioSante's business, including the LibiGel clinical development program, and discuss strategic alternatives. At the meeting, BioSante's management presented updated and revised financial scenarios of BioSante as an ongoing independent publicly traded company, assuming the continuation of the LibiGel Phase III safety study and the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, but no other clinical development, licensing revenues or equity financings, and assuming a conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study, a decision not to pursue the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, no other clinical development, licensing revenues or equity financings and certain restructuring activities to downsize BioSante's organization. BioSante's management summarized for the board the four indications of interest that BioSante had received to date and the possibility that BioSante might receive additional indications of interest based on discussions between BioSante's management and other parties. BioSante's management described the companies that had submitted indications of interest, their businesses, the status of negotiations with each of the companies, and, at a high level, the likely terms of a possible transaction with BioSante. The BioSante board of directors authorized management to continue to explore whether there were any strategic alternatives available to BioSante that likely would increase stockholder value more than BioSante's current business plan and strategy. BioSante's management also informed the board regarding the various investment banking firms with whom it had met and the material terms of an engagement if BioSante were to engage such firms. The BioSante board of directors authorized BioSante's management to enter into an engagement letter with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., pursuant to which Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. would act as exclusive financial advisor to BioSante in connection with a possible strategic transaction. The BioSante board of directors selected Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. based on its familiarity with BioSante's business and the biopharmaceutical industry in general, its ability to access companies potentially interested in a transaction with BioSante and the financial terms of the engagement. The BioSante board of directors authorized BioSante's management to direct Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. to solicit indications of interest regarding a possible business combination transaction with BioSante and to focus those efforts on companies in the biopharmaceutical industry with a commercial or near-commercial stage product or products in development that coincide with BioSante's products in development.

        On August 8, 2012, BioSante formally engaged the investment banking firm, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., in connection with BioSante's evaluation of alternatives.

        On August 8, 2012, the president and chief executive officer of Company A contacted Mr. Simes and indicated that Company A was no longer interested in pursuing a stock-for-stock transaction with BioSante primarily because of BioSante's refusal prior to such time to engage in exclusive negotiations with Company A regarding the transaction proposed by Company A in its July 31, 2012 letter of intent.

        On August 8, 2012, a representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., on behalf of BioSante, contacted Company B and indicated that BioSante was conducting a formal process to seek strategic alternatives and would keep Company B informed as the process continued.

        On August 8, 2012, BioSante received a written indication of interest from a public biotechnology company referred to as Company D to engage in a possible business transaction. Prior to proposing the material terms of such a transaction, Company D insisted that BioSante enter into a written confidentiality agreement and that the parties commence a due diligence review of each other's operations, assets, liabilities, books, records, facilities and capital structure. On August 14, 2012, BioSante and Company D entered into a written confidentiality agreement and subsequently

109


Table of Contents

commenced their respective due diligence investigations. In furtherance of Company D's due diligence of BioSante, BioSante gave access to BioSante's electronic data room to Company D and its advisors. Based on conversations between representatives of BioSante and of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and representatives of Company D, Company D contemplated a stock-for-stock merger transaction pursuant to which BioSante stockholders would own up to 50 percent of the parent or surviving entity.

        On August 8, 2012, ANI's management and legal advisors were granted access to BioSante's electronic data room and immediately commenced a due diligence review of BioSante and its business.

        On August 16, 2012, BioSante entered into a placement agent agreement with Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, pursuant to which Rodman & Renshaw, LLC agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of shares of BioSante common stock and warrants to purchase shares of BioSante common stock in a registered direct public offering. Later on August 16, 2012, BioSante and a certain institutional investor entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which BioSante agreed to sell 2,359,932 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 1,179,966 shares of its common stock to such investor for gross proceeds of $3.475 million. The common stock and warrants were sold in units, with each unit consisting of one share of BioSante common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of BioSante common stock. The purchase price per unit was $1.4725. On August 20, 2012, BioSante completed the offering.

        On August 22, 2012, BioSante received a revised non-binding written letter of intent from Company B proposing a reverse triangular stock-for-stock merger pursuant to which BioSante would be the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Company B and the exchange ratio used to determine the number of Company B shares to be issued to BioSante stockholders would be based on BioSante's market capitalization immediately prior to the signing of the definitive agreement. Under the letter of intent, 30 percent of the Company B shares to be issued to BioSante stockholders in connection with the transaction would be held back and offset against BioSante's transaction expenses, the remaining principal amount of BioSante's convertible senior notes and certain other costs and expenses, and completion of the transaction would be conditioned upon BioSante having a specified minimum net cash as of closing. Unlike the initial term sheet provided by Company B to BioSante on July 9, 2012, the letter of intent did not contemplate the issuance of contingent value rights to BioSante stockholders. The letter of intent contemplated that Company B's management team would manage the surviving entity going forward and the surviving entity would focus primarily on the further development and commercialization of Company B's products and technologies.

        On August 24, 2012, BioSante and a public pharmaceutical oncology company referred to as Company E entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement. Shortly thereafter, BioSante gave access to BioSante's electronic data room to Company E and its advisors. On August 27, 2012 BioSante received from Company E a written non-binding term sheet describing the general terms of a proposed business combination transaction between BioSante and Company E. The term sheet contemplated a reverse triangular stock-for-stock merger pursuant to which Company E would be the surviving entity and the number of Company E shares to be issued to BioSante stockholders would be based on BioSante's market capitalization at the time of the execution of the definitive merger agreement. The term sheet indicated that the transaction would be conditioned upon BioSante having a specified minimum amount of net cash at closing. Subsequent to August 27, 2012, representatives of BioSante and Company E conducted due diligence on each other and met in person and via telephone and discussed the general terms of a proposed business combination transaction between the two parties.

        During July and August 2012, in addition to the various companies previously mentioned BioSante conducted limited due diligence on a private oncology company and another private pharmaceutical company to decide whether to engage in more formal discussions regarding a potential business combination transaction with such companies. After BioSante's due diligence investigation of the two companies, BioSante's management decided that neither of the two companies would be a good fit for

BioSante largely due to the fact that both companies' businesses were at too early a stage of development and would require significant additional investment for the foreseeable future.

        On August 27, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting for management to update the board with respect to BioSante's business, including the LibiGel clinical development program, and discuss strategic alternatives. With respect to the LibiGel clinical development program, the BioSante board of directors determined that in light of the independent Data Monitoring Committee's most recent unblinded review of the LibiGel safety study adequate safety data of LibiGel use in menopausal women had been obtained and determined to conclude the safety study. BioSante's management and representatives of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. summarized for the board management's review and assessment of BioSante's alternatives, including a review of whether it would be in the best interest of BioSante and its stockholders for BioSante to continue as an independent company and continue to allocate its resources to the development of LibiGel or allocate its resources to other biopharmaceutical product areas through in-licensing or acquisitions, combine with or be acquired by a public or private company, sell BioSante's assets or liquidate BioSante. After an extensive discussion on the potential alternatives and the various companies that had submitted indications of interest and remained interested in a transaction with BioSante, it was the consensus of the BioSante board of directors that a combination of BioSante and ANI would create more value for BioSante stockholders in the long-term than BioSante could create as an independent, stand-alone company, given the anticipated costs, timing and risks associated with continuing the development of LibiGel and other BioSante products in development and/or in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies or product candidates, and the uncertain capital markets, which BioSante historically had relied upon to raise additional financing to fund its product development efforts. In addition, the BioSante board of directors concluded that a potential transaction with ANI was superior to a liquidation of BioSante since ANI's proposal represented a premium to BioSante's estimated cash available to distribute to BioSante stockholders and also included considerable upside through a continued equity investment in the combined business. The BioSante board of directors directed management to proceed with negotiations with ANI since ANI's proposal appeared to offer the most attractive terms for a transaction with BioSante out of the indications of interest that had been received by BioSante and such a transaction with ANI would give BioSante stockholders an opportunity to participate in the potential future value of the combined company, including future potential value from ANI's established contract manufacturing operations, niche generic prescription products and products in development, as well as give BioSante stockholders the right to potentially receive certain future cash payments in the event of a subsequent sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to BioSante's LibiGel program. In addition to ANI, the BioSante board of directors also directed management to explore further a potential transaction with Company B, Company D and Company E since discussions with those companies had not matured as quickly as with ANI.

        On August 31, 2012, a representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. sent to ANI's management a draft merger agreement and a due diligence request for purposes of assisting BioSante in performing a due diligence investigation of ANI.

        On August 31, 2012, ANI's management communicated to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. that ANI was not interested in spending significant resources on a potential transaction without an exclusivity letter and sent a draft exclusivity letter to BioSante's management.

        On September 4, 2012, the representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. informed ANI's management that BioSante would not grant exclusivity to ANI prior to September 14, 2012, the date of the next regular meeting of the BioSante board of directors, and that in the meantime, the parties should continue to perform their respective due diligence investigations of each other in order to move the transaction forward and enable BioSante's management to present a proposed transaction with ANI to the BioSante board of directors at its meeting on September 14, 2012.

        On September 5, 2012, ANI's management sent to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and BioSante's management a draft non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which ANI proposed a merger with BioSante following which the holders of ANI capital stock and in-the-money dilutive securities would hold 55 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the combined company and the holders of BioSante common stock and in-the-money dilutive securities would hold 45 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the combined company. The letter of intent contemplated contingent cash payments to BioSante stockholders of 65 percent of any net cash proceeds received for BioSante's LibiGel program, up to a maximum of $40 million in the aggregate. The letter of intent contemplated that the executive officers of ANI would be the executive officers of the combined company and that the board of directors of the combined company would consist of seven individuals, one of whom would be the combined company's chief executive officer, four of whom would be designated by ANI and two of whom would be designated by BioSante. The letter of intent also contained other provisions, including a minimum net cash closing requirement for BioSante, a net cash definition, termination right and fee provisions and a 15-day exclusivity provision

        Between September 5, 2012 and September 14, 2012, representatives of BioSante and ANI exchanged drafts of the letter of intent and negotiated the terms and conditions of the letter of intent, including the post-merger ownership percentages, potential adjustments to the post-merger ownership percentages, the minimum net cash closing requirement for BioSante, the net cash definition, the composition of the board of directors of the combined company, termination right and fee provisions and the term of the exclusivity provision.

        On September 13, 2012, Mr. Pryzbyl and Ms. Arnold and a representative of ANI's outside legal counsel, Dentons US LLP (Dentons) met with Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg of BioSante and a representative of OWD at BioSante's corporate offices in Lincolnshire, Illinois to engage in further negotiations and discussions regarding the letter of intent and conduct due diligence. By the end of the day on September 13th, the parties had negotiated the terms of the letter of intent, subject to the final approval of the letter of intent by the parties' respective boards of directors.

        On September 14, 2012, a regular meeting of the BioSante board of directors took place at BioSante's corporate offices in Lincolnshire, Illinois. At the meeting, BioSante's management updated the board as to BioSante's business, including the status of the LibiGel clinical development program, and strategic alternatives. The representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. described the process that Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. had engaged in since August 2012 to respond to companies that previously had indicated an interest in a possible strategic transaction with BioSante and to reach out to other companies that may have an interest in a strategic transaction with BioSante. The representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. summarized the six indications of interest received by BioSante, and noted the other three parties that had engaged in discussions regarding a possible strategic business combination transaction with BioSante. The representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. also discussed the potential terms of a transaction with each of these parties as evident by their respective indications of interest and, in some cases, subsequent conversations between representatives of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and such companies. The representative of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. described the management teams, businesses, prospects, operating results and financial position of three of the companies with whom Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and BioSante's management considered to be the most likely parties to a transaction with BioSante, and in much greater detail, the management team, business, prospects, operating results of ANI. BioSante's management summarized the material terms of the proposed non-binding letter of intent with ANI. After an extensive discussion, the BioSante board of directors authorized BioSante's management to enter into the non-binding letter of intent with ANI, on substantially the terms as described to the board at the meeting.

        After the meeting of the BioSante board of directors, on September 14, 2012, and after further negotiation regarding the circumstances under which a termination of the merger agreement would give rise to the payment of a termination fee by BioSante, the letter of intent was executed by BioSante and

112

ANI. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent, BioSante and ANI agreed to negotiate exclusively with one another until September 28, 2012, unless either party earlier notified the other of its decision to terminate discussions.

        From September 14, 2012 to October 3, 2012, BioSante's and ANI's respective managements performed additional due diligence. During such period, several telephone conference calls were held between BioSante's management and advisors and ANI's management and advisors to discuss various aspects of their respective due diligence investigations.

        On September 19, 2012, ANI's legal counsel sent BioSante's legal counsel a mark-up of the draft prior merger agreement.

        On September 20, 2012, representatives of OWD and Dentons held a telephone conference call to discuss the terms of the prior merger agreement, including in particular the definition of net cash, various adjustments to net cash and the effect of potential future payments to BioSante on the determination of net cash for purposes of the merger agreement, certain representations and warranties, and certain covenants, including the non-solicitation covenant, the employee benefit covenant and the ability of BioSante and ANI to take certain actions during the period after the execution of the prior merger agreement and prior to the closing of the prior merger, and closing conditions.

        Between September 20, 2012 and September 28, 2012, representatives from OWD and Dentons exchanged drafts of the prior merger agreement, contingent value rights agreement, form of voting agreements and form of lock-up agreement and continued to negotiate the terms and conditions of the prior merger agreement, the contingent value rights agreement and the other ancillary agreements.

The parties also discussed the remaining open business terms of the contingent value rights agreement. After such call, although BioSante and ANI did not enter into a written amendment to their letter of intent extending the exclusivity provision beyond September 28, 2012, the parties and their advisors committed to negotiate and finalize the prior merger agreement, the contingent value rights agreement and the other related ancillary agreements as soon as reasonably practicable.

        Between September 28, 2012 and October 3, 2012, representatives from OWD and Dentons continued to exchange drafts of the prior merger agreement, the contingent value rights agreement and the other related ancillary agreements and negotiate the terms and conditions of such agreements.

        On October 3, 2012, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting to consider the proposed transaction with ANI. A representative of OWD reviewed with the BioSante board of directors its fiduciary duties applicable to the proposed transaction. A representative of OWD summarized the principal deal terms focusing, in particular, on changes to those terms since the meeting held by the BioSante board of directors on September 14, 2012 and the letter of intent executed on that date. A draft of the prior merger agreement and the contingent value rights agreement, a memorandum describing the principal terms of the transaction documents and proposed resolutions were provided to the members of the BioSante board of directors in advance of the meeting. Also at this meeting, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. reviewed with the BioSante board of directors its financial analyses and rendered to the BioSante board of directors an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated October 3, 2012, to the effect that, as of that date and

113


Table of Contents

based on and subject to the matters described in the opinion, the exchange ratios provided in the prior merger agreement were fair, from a financial point of view, to BioSante. A representative of OWD summarized the proposed resolutions for the BioSante board of directors. After an extensive discussion and consideration of the financial and legal aspects of the then proposed transaction and other matters, including many of the same factors that the BioSante board of directors considered in connection with the current proposed merger transaction as described under "—BioSante Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 118 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the directors unanimously determined that the prior merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby were fair to, and in the best interests of, BioSante and its stockholders. The directors voted unanimously to approve and adopt all of the resolutions, including the approval and adoption of the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the prior merger, the approval of the contingent value rights agreement and other related ancillary agreements and the approval of the amendments to BioSante's certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock in the discretion of BioSante and ANI at a ratio of either one-to-two, one-to-three, one-to-four or one-to-five and to change the corporate name of BioSante to "ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc."

        On October 3, 2012, the ANI board of directors held a special meeting to consider the proposed transaction with BioSante. A representative of Dentons summarized the principal deal terms focusing, in particular, on changes to the terms since the letter of intent was executed on September 14, 2012. A draft of the prior merger agreement and the contingent value rights agreements were provided to the members of the ANI board of directors in advance of the meeting. After an extensive discussion and consideration of the financial and legal aspects of the proposed transaction and other matters, including many of the same factors that the ANI board of directors considered in connection with the current proposed merger transaction as described under "—ANI Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 123 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the directors voted unanimously to approve the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger, and related matters.

        During the evening of October 3, 2012, all of BioSante's directors and officers entered into voting agreements with ANI to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the prior merger, and the approval of the amendments to BioSante's certificate of incorporation. In addition, certain stockholders of ANI entered into a voting agreement with BioSante pursuant to which they agreed to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger, and one of ANI's stockholders, Meridian Venture Partners II, L.P., agreed in its voting agreement with BioSante to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by BioSante at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the combined company following completion of the prior merger.

        Also during the evening of October 3, 2012, representatives of ANI and Dentons and BioSante and OWD finalized the prior merger agreement, and BioSante and ANI entered into the prior merger agreement.

        On October 4, 2012, BioSante and ANI issued a joint news release announcing the prior merger of ANI and BioSante.

        On November 13, 2012, BioSante and ANI entered into an amendment to the prior merger agreement to change the date upon which the parties must agree to the amount of the current class action and shareholder derivative litigation reserve for purposes of the net cash definition from November 15, 2012 to November 30, 2012. BioSante and ANI subsequently agreed that it was not necessary for there to be any class action and shareholder derivative litigation reserve for purposes of the net cash definition.

        On December 11, 2012, BioSante filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC with respect to the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to the ANI stockholders in connection with the prior merger, and on January 22, 2013, the Form S-4 registration statement was declared effective.

        On or about January 25, 2013, BioSante and ANI mailed or otherwise delivered the joint proxy statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders in connection the prior merger, and subsequently commenced proxy solicitation efforts to obtain the vote of their respective stockholders to vote in favor of the prior merger agreement and related proposals.

        Between January 25, 2013 and March 15, 2013, BioSante and ANI engaged in proxy solicitation efforts to obtain the vote of their respective stockholders to vote in favor of the prior merger agreement and related proposals.

        On January 31, 2013, BioSante entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aduro BioTech, Inc., a clinical-stage immunotherapy company, pursuant to which BioSante sold all of its assets related to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio in exchange for a $1.0 million cash payment plus the potential for future royalty, milestone and sublicense payments.

        On March 15, 2013, the ANI stockholders approved the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger.

        As of March 15, 2013, voting instructions to vote shares in favor of the prior merger had been received from holders of 33 percent of the shares of BioSante capital stock outstanding as of the record date. While this was short of the required majority of the outstanding BioSante capital stock needed to approve the prior merger, it constituted 84 percent of the shares of BioSante capital stock as to which voting instructions had been given. No voting instructions on the prior merger had been received from the holders of approximately 15 million shares of BioSante capital stock, or over 60 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock. On March 15, 2013, BioSante stockholders adjourned the BioSante special meeting to April 12, 2013 to give BioSante stockholders additional time to vote and to provide BioSante with additional time to solicit additional proxies to vote in favor of the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger and the issuance of BioSante common stock in the prior merger.

        Subsequent to March 15, 2013, BioSante and its officers, employees and agents continued their proxy solicitation efforts to obtain the required vote of BioSante stockholders in favor of the prior merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the prior merger and the issuance of BioSante common stock in the prior merger, and the other merger related proposals.

        On March 22, 2013, ANI's chairman of the board, Robert E. Brown, Jr., contacted BioSante's chairman of the board, Louis W. Sullivan, M.D., to discuss the status of the prior merger transaction. During this conversation, Mr. Brown and Dr. Sullivan discussed a possible restructuring of the transaction from a direct merger between ANI and BioSante to a reverse triangular merger of a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante with and into ANI, with ANI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante.

        On March 27, 2013, BioSante's legal counsel, OWD, sent ANI's legal counsel, Dentons, a proposed term sheet describing the material terms of a restructured merger transaction in the form discussed by Mr. Brown and Dr. Sullivan. The proposed term sheet described a reverse triangular merger transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into ANI and ANI would survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. In the proposed term sheet, BioSante proposed that unlike the exchange ratio provisions in the prior merger agreement, the respective ownership percentages of the BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger would be fixed at 47 percent and 53 percent, respectively, and would not be subject to adjustment based on BioSante's net cash. In addition, BioSante proposed that BioSante not be required

115


Table of Contents

to have a minimum amount of net cash as a condition to closing of the merger and that the approval by NASDAQ of the initial listing application for the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued by BioSante in the merger not be a condition to closing of the merger.

        On March 27, 2013, a representative of Dentons told a representative of OWD that ANI would be willing to proceed with negotiations regarding a restructured merger transaction on terms similar to those provided in the proposed term sheet, but that ANI would seek a change to the fixed respective ownership percentages between BioSante and ANI.

        On April 1, 2013, OWD sent Dentons a draft merger agreement that incorporated the terms proposed by BioSante in the term sheet delivered to ANI on March 27, 2013.

        From April 1, 2013 through April 11, 2013, BioSante's and ANI's respective managements and advisors performed additional due diligence. During this time, BioSante sent ANI an estimated net cash calculation assuming a merger closing on July 31, 2013.

        On April 3, 2013, a representative of OWD and a representative of Dentons held several telephone conference calls to discuss the terms of the merger agreement, including in particular the respective ownership percentages of the BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger, BioSante's net cash immediately prior to closing and the terms of the CVRs to be distributed to BioSante stockholders immediately prior to completion of the merger. During these calls, BioSante maintained that the respective ownership percentages of BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger should be fixed at 47 percent and 53 percent, respectively. However, ANI insisted that the respective ownership percentages of BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger be fixed at 43 percent and 57 percent, respectively. ANI communicated that in exchange for a post-merger ownership percentage split of 43 percent and 57 percent, respectively, it was willing to remove as closing conditions the NASDAQ listing of shares issued in the merger and the minimum amount of BioSante net cash, revise the form of contingent value rights agreement to increase the maximum amount payable under the contingent value rights agreement from $40 million to $50 million and to add a royalty of five percent of gross revenue in the event ANI commercialized LibiGel and had invested less than an additional $2.5 million in additional development expenses.

        On April 5, 2013, representatives of Dentons sent OWD a mark-up of the merger agreement and a form of contingent rights agreement.

        From April 9 through April 11, 2013, representatives of OWD and Dentons held several additional telephone conference calls to discuss the terms of the merger agreement, including in particular: (i) the respective ownership percentages of the BioSante and ANI stockholders in the combined company immediately after the merger, (ii) a contractual limitation on the monthly amount of salaries and consulting fees to be paid by BioSante prior to closing, (iii) reducing the amount of certain BioSante management bonuses relating to 2012 performance (but not yet paid) in the event that BioSante's net cash immediately prior to closing was below a certain target, and (iv) the terms of the CVRs to be distributed to BioSante stockholders immediately prior to completion of the merger. During this time period, representatives from OWD and Dentons exchanged additional drafts of the merger agreement, form of contingent value rights agreement and other transaction documents.

        On April 9, 2013, BioSante received an unsolicited indication of interest from Company A, a private specialty pharmaceutical company, to engage in a stock-for-stock transaction similar to that proposed by Company A to BioSante on July 31, 2012 if BioSante's prior merger transaction with ANI was unsuccessful or if BioSante otherwise desired to proceed with a transaction with Company A in light of BioSante's difficulty in obtaining stockholder approval of the prior merger transaction with ANI. The transaction proposed by Company A to BioSante on July 31, 2012 contemplated a stock-for-stock merger transaction pursuant to which Company A would merge with and into BioSante,

116


Table of Contents

and BioSante would survive and be owned more than 60 percent by the Company A stockholders and less than 40 percent by BioSante stockholders, with the exact ownership percentages to be determined based on BioSante's net cash as of closing. The board of directors of the surviving entity would be comprised of three members selected by Company A, three members selected by BioSante and one member selected by both Company A and BioSante. The surviving entity would focus on Company A's business and terminate all clinical development activities relating to LibiGel.

        On April 10, 2013, a copy of the indication of interest letter received by BioSante from Company A was sent to ANI and ANI's legal counsel.

        On April 11, 2013, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the status of the proposed restructured merger transaction. A representative of OWD summarized the principal deal terms focusing, in particular, on changes between the merger agreement and the prior merger agreement. A summary of the merger agreement and all transaction documents had been provided to the BioSante board of directors prior to the meeting. During the meeting, the BioSante board of directors also was informed of BioSante's receipt of the indication of interest letter from Company A. After an extensive discussion, the BioSante board of directors directed BioSante's management not to respond to Company A and to finalize the merger agreement with ANI, on substantially the terms as described to the board at the meeting.

        On April 11, 2013, the ANI board of directors convened a special meeting to consider the proposed restructured merger transaction with BioSante. A representative of Dentons summarized the principal deal terms focusing, in particular, on changes between the merger agreement and the prior merger agreement. A draft of the merger agreement and the contingent value rights agreements were provided to the members of the ANI board of directors in advance of the meeting. After an extensive discussion and consideration of the financial and legal aspects of the proposed transaction and the other matters described under "—ANI Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 123 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the directors voted unanimously to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and related matters.

        At 8:00 a.m., central time, on April 12, 2013, BioSante convened its special meeting of its stockholders to consider the approval and adoption of the prior merger agreement and the related prior merger proposals. As of April 12, 2013, voting instructions to vote shares in favor of the prior merger had been received from holders of 36 percent of the shares of BioSante capital stock outstanding as of the record date. This was still short of the required majority of the outstanding BioSante capital stock needed to approve the prior merger. The shares of BioSante capital stock as to which voting instructions in favor of the prior merger had been received constituted 84 percent of the shares of BioSante capital stock as to which voting instructions had been given. However, no voting instructions on the prior merger had been received from the holders of approximately 13.8 million shares of BioSante capital stock, or over 56 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock. At this meeting, BioSante stockholders adjourned the BioSante special meeting until 5:00 p.m., central time, on April 12, 2013.

        During early afternoon on April 12, 2013, the BioSante board of directors held a special meeting to consider the proposed merger transaction with ANI. A representative of OWD summarized for the BioSante board of directors its fiduciary duties applicable to the proposed transaction. A representative of OWD summarized the principal deal terms focusing, in particular, on changes between the merger agreement and the prior merger agreement. A draft of the merger agreement and all transaction documents had been provided to the BioSante board of directors prior to the meeting, as well as a memorandum describing the principal terms of the transaction documents and proposed resolutions. Also at this meeting, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. reviewed with the BioSante board of directors its financial analyses and rendered to the BioSante board of directors an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated April 12, 2013, to the effect that, as of that date and

117


Table of Contents

based on and subject to the matters described in the opinion, the exchange ratios provided in the merger agreement were fair, from a financial point of view, to BioSante. A representative of OWD summarized the proposed resolutions for the BioSante board of directors. After an extensive discussion and consideration of the financial and legal aspects of the then proposed transaction and the other matters described under "—BioSante Reasons for the Merger" beginning on page 118 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the directors unanimously determined that the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby were fair to, and in the best interests of, BioSante and its stockholders. The directors voted unanimously to approve and adopt all of the resolutions, including the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, the approval of the contingent value rights agreement and other related ancillary agreements and the cancellation of the adjourned special meeting of BioSante stockholders scheduled to take place at 5:00 p.m. on April 12, 2013.

        After the BioSante board of directors meeting on April 12, 2013, representatives of ANI and Dentons and BioSante and OWD finalized the transaction documents.

        Immediately thereafter, all of BioSante's directors and officers entered into voting agreements with ANI to vote in favor of the approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, and certain stockholders of ANI entered into a voting agreement with BioSante pursuant to which they agreed to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and one of ANI's stockholders, Meridian Venture Partners II, L.P., agreed in its voting agreement with BioSante to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by BioSante at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the combined company following completion of the merger.

        After the close of the market on April 12, 2013, but prior to the time to which the BioSante special stockholders' meeting had been adjourned, BioSante, Merger Sub and ANI entered into the merger agreement. Immediately thereafter, BioSante and ANI issued a joint news release announcing the merger agreement and cancelling the BioSante adjourned special meeting of stockholders.

        On April 18, 2013, BioSante received another letter from Company A seeking information regarding the decision by the BioSante board of directors to enter into the amended and restated merger agreement with ANI. A copy of this letter received by BioSante from Company A was sent promptly to ANI and ANI's legal counsel.


BioSante Reasons for the Merger

        In evaluating the merger and the merger agreement, the BioSante board of directors consulted with BioSante's management and legal, financial and other advisors and, in reaching its decision to approve the merger and enter into the merger agreement, the BioSante board of directors considered a number of factors, including the following material factors which the BioSante board of directors viewed as generally supporting its decision to approve the merger and the merger agreement.

    The consideration of BioSante's anticipated near- and long-term operations and performance on an independent, stand-alone basis, the substantial additional financing that would be needed to sustain such operations assuming BioSante continued its LibiGel clinical development program or in-licensed or acquired additional technologies or product candidates, and the risk that such substantial additional financing could not be obtained on terms favorable to BioSante, or at all, in light of a volatile economy, uncertain capital markets and limitations on BioSante's ability to effect equity offerings.

    The consideration of other strategic alternatives to the proposed merger with ANI, including other merger transactions with other companies, continuing to operate BioSante on an

118


Table of Contents

      independent, stand-alone basis, in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies or product candidates and undertaking a liquidation of BioSante, and the belief that the proposed merger with ANI would permit BioSante stockholders with a greater potential opportunity to realize a return on their investment than any other alternative reasonably available to BioSante and BioSante stockholders.

    The belief that the combination of BioSante's and ANI's businesses would create more value for BioSante stockholders in the long-term than BioSante could create as an independent, stand-alone company, given the anticipated costs, timing and risks associated with continuing the development of LibiGel and other BioSante products in development and/or in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies or product candidates, the uncertain capital markets, which BioSante historically has relied upon to raise additional financing to fund its product development efforts, and limitations on BioSante's ability to effect equity offerings.

    Historical and current information concerning ANI's business, financial performance, financial condition, operations and management and the results of a due diligence investigation of ANI conducted by BioSante's management and advisors.

    The opportunity for BioSante stockholders to participate in the potential future value of BioSante and ANI, including potential future value from ANI's established contract manufacturing operations, niche generic prescription products and products in development.

    The fact that the cash resources of the combined company expected to be available at the closing of the merger would provide the combined company sufficient capital to execute its near-term business strategy, obtain regulatory approvals for several of its products in development and maintain its projected business operations beyond 2013.

    BioSante's ability, under the terms of the merger agreement, to issue CVRs to the holders of BioSante common stock prior to completion of the merger, which would give such BioSante stockholders the right to potentially receive certain cash payments up to an aggregate of $50 million in the event BioSante receives net cash payments during the ten-year period after the distribution of the rights as a result of the sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to BioSante's LibiGel program or in the event ANI commercialized LibiGel and had invested less than an additional $2.5 million in additional development expenses, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the CVR agreement.

    The significant costs of liquidating BioSante, the operational challenges of maintaining a liquidating trust to administer any royalty and other future payments BioSante expects to receive from Teva, the licensee of BioSante's male testosterone gel, and may receive from other licensees or the buyer of BioSante's products and technologies, the likelihood that BioSante would not be able to distribute immediately all of its remaining cash to BioSante stockholders in the event of a liquidation and dissolution of the company, given the fact that BioSante would need to set aside a reserve to pay, and make provisions for, existing and future contingent and potential claims and liabilities, and the likelihood that any amount ultimately distributed to BioSante stockholders would be minimal and that an affirmative vote of a majority of outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock in favor of a liquidation would be impossible to reach.

    Historical and current information concerning BioSante's business, financial performance, financial condition, operations and management, including financial projections of BioSante under various scenarios and its short- and long-term strategic objectives and the risks associated therewith.

    Historical and current financial market conditions and stock prices and historical stock prices and trading volumes of BioSante common stock.

Table of Contents

    The exchange ratios in the merger, which are intended to result in BioSante stockholders holding 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company immediately after completion of the merger.

    The fact that the exchange ratios will not fluctuate based upon changes in the price of BioSante common stock or the value of ANI capital stock prior to completion of the merger, which protects BioSante stockholders from any materially negative trends in the price of BioSante common stock and any materially positive trends in the value of ANI capital stock.

    The fact that the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and class C special stock, voting together as a single class, present at the BioSante special meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal, as opposed to the higher voting threshold required to approve the prior merger, which was the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock outstanding, voting together as a single class.

    The fact that BioSante is no longer required to and will not submit proposals to approve amendments to its certificate of incorporation to approve a reverse split of the BioSante common stock or a change in BioSante's corporate name to BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting.

    The all-stock nature of the merger and the intent that the merger be tax-free to BioSante stockholders.

    The terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including without limitation the following:

    The structure of the merger and the level of certainty as to the percentage of the total shares of common stock of the combined company that BioSante and ANI stockholders will own immediately after the merger, which will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market value of BioSante common stock or ANI common stock or the amount of net cash of BioSante.

    The provisions in the merger agreement that limit the ability of BioSante to solicit and respond to offers for alternative transactions, but which allow BioSante to respond to a bona fide acquisition proposal that the BioSante board of directors determines is or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal, subject to certain restrictions imposed by the merger agreement, which such provisions the BioSante board of directors believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

    The requirement to hold a meeting of BioSante stockholders to vote on the approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, even if the BioSante board of directors subsequently changes its recommendation, but the ability of the BioSante board of directors, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, to withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation that BioSante stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, which such provisions the BioSante board of directors believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

    The relatively limited nature of the closing conditions, including in particular, the elimination of the condition in the prior merger agreement that required BioSante to have at least a specified minimum amount of net cash immediately prior to closing and the condition that the initial listing application to be filed by BioSante with NASDAQ in connection with the transaction be approved.

    The conditions under which the merger agreement may be terminated by either party and the conclusion of the BioSante board of directors that the potential termination fee of

120


Table of Contents

        $1.0 million or the reimbursement of certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the merger of up to $500,000, payable by BioSante to ANI and the potential termination fee of $750,000 payable by ANI to BioSante and the circumstances when such fee or expense reimbursement may be payable or received by BioSante, are reasonable.

      The restrictions on the ability of certain ANI stockholders to freely trade some or all of the shares of BioSante common stock that they receive in connection with the merger for a period of up to 180 days following completion of the merger.

      The belief that the parties' respective representations, warranties and covenants, and conditions to their respective obligations, are reasonable under the circumstances.

    The voting agreements entered into by certain stockholders of ANI representing approximately 90 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI common stock, on an as-converted basis, and 86 percent of the outstanding ANI series D preferred stock as of April 12, 2013, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, solely in their capacity as stockholders, to vote all of their shares of ANI capital stock in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and against any alternative acquisition proposal.

    The fact that two directors of BioSante will continue as directors of the combined company after the merger.

    Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion, and its financial presentation, dated April 12, 2013, to the BioSante board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to BioSante of the exchange ratios, as described more fully below under the caption "Opinion of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc."

        The BioSante board of directors weighed the factors described above which the BioSante board of directors viewed generally as supporting its decision to approve the merger and the merger agreement against a number of other factors identified in its deliberations weighing negatively against the merger, including without limitation the following material factors:

    The fact that the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued in the merger will represent 57 percent of the outstanding common stock of the combined company immediately after completion of the merger, thus causing BioSante stockholders as of immediately prior to completion of the merger to experience immediate and significant dilution in their equity interests and voting power of BioSante upon completion of the merger.

    The fact that, while BioSante expects the merger to be completed, there can be no assurance that all conditions to the parties' obligations to complete the merger, including BioSante obtaining stockholder approval of the issuance of the BioSante common stock in the merger, will be satisfied within the time frames contemplated by the merger agreement, especially since some of the conditions are outside the control of BioSante, and, as a result, the merger may not be completed.

    The amount of time required to complete the merger and the possibility that the merger may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to BioSante if the merger is not completed, including the potential adverse effect on the reputation of BioSante, the potential to depress the values offered by others to BioSante in a business combination or other alternative transaction and the ability of BioSante to obtain financing in the future.

    The possible negative effect of the public announcement of the merger on BioSante's stock price and the possible volatility in BioSante common stock that may occur during the pendency of the merger.

121


Table of Contents

    The possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized or that they may be lower than expected.

    The risk that the per share value of the consideration to be paid in the merger to the ANI stockholders could increase significantly from the value prior to the announcement of the merger agreement because the exchange ratios will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of BioSante common stock or the value ANI capital stock.

    The risk that sales of substantial amounts of BioSante common stock immediately after the closing of the merger and after the lapsing of lock-up restrictions that apply during a period of up to 180 days after completion of the merger could adversely affect the market price of BioSante common stock.

    The substantial charges to be incurred in connection with the merger, including transaction expenses that would be incurred whether or not the merger is completed, and change of control and severance payments to BioSante executive officers triggered by the closing of the transaction.

    The risk of diverting the attention of BioSante's management from other strategic priorities to implement the merger and make arrangements for the integration of each company's operations and infrastructure following the merger.

    The risk that ANI's revenue forecasts are not attained at the level or within the timeframe expected.

    The risks, challenges and costs associated with successfully integrating two companies, with separate operations and locations.

    The potential loss of key ANI employees critical to the ongoing success of the combined company's business.

    The requirement under the merger agreement that BioSante call and hold a vote of BioSante stockholders to approve the merger and related proposals, even in circumstances where the BioSante board of directors has withdrawn or adversely changed its recommendation to BioSante stockholders with respect to such proposals in response to a superior proposal.

    The ability of the ANI stockholders and management to significantly influence the combined company's business following completion of the merger.

    The restrictions on the conduct of BioSante's business prior to completion of the merger, which require BioSante to carry on its business in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice, subject to specific additional restrictions, which may delay or prevent BioSante from pursuing business opportunities that otherwise would be in its best interests as an independent, stand-alone company.

    The risk of stockholder lawsuits that may be filed against BioSante and/or the BioSante board of directors in connection with the merger agreement.

    The substantial transaction costs and expenses that have been incurred to date and likely will be incurred in connection with the merger.

    The provisions of the merger agreement that require BioSante to reimburse ANI for certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the merger in the amount of up to $500,000 and pay a $1.0 million fee if the merger agreement is terminated by BioSante or ANI due to specified reasons.

    The other risks of the type and nature described under "Risk Factors" and the matters described under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Table of Contents

        After consideration of these factors, the BioSante board of directors determined that these risks could be mitigated or managed by BioSante or ANI or by the combined company following the merger, were reasonably acceptable under the circumstances or, in light of the anticipated benefits, the risks were unlikely to have a materially adverse impact on the merger or on the combined company following the merger, and that, overall, these risks were significantly outweighed by the potential benefits of the merger.

        Although this discussion of the information and factors considered by the BioSante board of directors is believed to include the material factors considered by the BioSante board of directors, it is not intended to be exhaustive and may not include all of the factors considered by the BioSante board of directors. In reaching its determination to approve the merger and approve and adopt the merger agreement, the BioSante board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination that the merger and the merger agreement are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of BioSante and its stockholders. Rather, the BioSante board of directors based its position and determination on the totality of the information presented to and factors considered by it. In addition, individual members of the BioSante board of directors may have given differing weights to different factors.

        In considering the determination by the BioSante board of directors that the merger and the merger agreement are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of BioSante and its stockholders, you should be aware that certain BioSante directors and officers have arrangements that may cause them to have interests in the transaction that are different from, in addition to, or may conflict with the interests of BioSante stockholders generally. See "—Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in the Merger."


ANI Reasons for the Merger

        In addition to its ongoing discussions and negotiations with the BioSante board of directors, the ANI board of directors discussed the potential merger with members of its management team, as well as its legal, financial and other advisors. The ANI board of directors also considered a number of factors which it believed supported its decision to approve the merger and the merger agreement, including, without limitation, the following:

    That the existing BioSante product lines fit well within the ANI platform of hormone-based products.

    That ANI would be able to leverage its knowledge of the hormone-based products market to further the existing BioSante product lines.

    The fact that the remaining cash resources expected to be available at the closing of the merger would provide the combined company with enough capital to enable it to meet its operational needs beyond 2013.

    The belief that the combination of the two businesses will result in accelerated growth and more value for the ANI stockholders than the ANI business could create on its own, given the combination of the product lines of the two companies, ANI's need for additional capital and the well-capitalized balance sheet that the combined company will have after completion of the merger.

    The belief that potential future license and other royalty fees due to BioSante for its FDA-approved male testosterone gel and other products could generate significant future cash flow for the combined company.

123


Table of Contents

    The belief that the combined company will have access to a greater number of capital market opportunities as a public company than ANI would have as a privately held company.

    That the exchange ratios in the merger will result in the ANI stockholders owning 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company following completion of the merger.

    The tax-free nature of the combination of ANI and BioSante in the merger.

    The terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including, without limitation, the following:

    The relatively limited number of closing conditions.

    The ability of ANI to effect certain other transactions prior to completion of the merger.

    The termination provisions and the potential for ANI to receive a termination fee of $1.0 million or the reimbursement of up to $500,000 of transaction expenses in the event of a termination by BioSante for certain specified reasons.

    The reasonable nature of the representations and warranties of ANI and BioSante in the merger agreement.

    The fact that the board of directors of the combined company will initially be controlled by persons appointed by ANI.

        The ANI board of directors also considered certain factors that generally weighed against the merger, including, without limitation, the following:

    The significant costs of concluding the LibiGel safety study.

    The significant costs associated with the merger and the possibility that the merger will not close, with no certainty that any or all of such costs will be reimbursed by BioSante.

    The restrictions on the ability of certain of the ANI stockholders to freely trade their shares of BioSante common stock for a period of up to 180 days following completion of the merger.

    The possibility that the merger may not result in the benefits the ANI board of directors expects or that such benefits could be lower than anticipated.

    The risk that the per share value of the shares of BioSante common stock being issued in the merger to the ANI stockholders could be higher than the trading price of the combined company's common stock following completion of the merger.

    The risk that the remaining BioSante products do not achieve the revenue currently anticipated by the ANI board of directors.

    The risks, challenges and significant costs associated with integrating two companies with separate operations and locations.

    The potential loss of key ANI employees critical to the performance of the combined company following completion of the merger.

    The restrictions on the operation of the ANI business prior to completion of the merger, which generally require ANI to operate in the ordinary course, consistent with its past practice, which may restrict ANI from taking certain actions that the ANI board of directors otherwise believes to be in the best interest of the ANI stockholders.

    The risk that ANI may be named in stockholder suits filed against BioSante in connection with the merger agreement.

124


Table of Contents

    The provision in the merger agreement that requires ANI to pay BioSante a $750,000 termination fee if the merger agreement is terminated by BioSante due to specified reasons.

    Certain other risks of the type and nature described under "Risk Factors."

        After considering all of the information, risks and concerns set forth above, the ANI board of directors determined that each of them was manageable or could otherwise be mitigated by ANI, BioSante or the combined company following the merger and that taken as a whole, such risks and concerns were reasonably acceptable when the benefits of the merger also were considered. Overall, the ANI board of directors did not believe that the risks outweighed the significant potential benefits of the merger.

        In reaching its determination to approve the merger and approve and adopt the merger agreement, the ANI board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination that the merger and the merger agreement are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of ANI and its stockholders.

Opinion of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.

        On August 8, 2012, BioSante engaged Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (Oppenheimer & Co.) as its financial advisor in connection with the merger. In connection with this engagement, the BioSante board of directors requested that Oppenheimer & Co. evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to BioSante of the exchange ratios, as provided in and as calculated pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. On April 12, 2013, at a meeting of the BioSante board of directors held to evaluate the merger, Oppenheimer & Co. rendered to the BioSante board of directors an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated April 12, 2013, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the matters described in its opinion, the exchange ratios were fair, from a financial point of view, to BioSante.

        The full text of Oppenheimer & Co.'s written opinion, dated April 12, 2013, which describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G and is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion was provided for the use of the BioSante board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its evaluation of the exchange ratios from a financial point of view and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the merger, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the merger or any term, aspect or implication of any voting agreements or other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the merger or otherwise. Oppenheimer & Co. expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, the underlying business decision of BioSante to proceed with or effect the merger or the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for BioSante or the effect of any other transaction in which BioSante might engage. Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any BioSante or ANI stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the merger or otherwise. This summary of Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its opinion.

With respect to the financial forecasts and estimates relating to BioSante and ANI utilized in Oppenheimer & Co.'s analyses, at the direction of the respective management and with BioSante's consent, Oppenheimer & Co. assumed, without independent verification or investigation, that such forecasts and estimates were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best available information, estimates and judgments of the respective managements of BioSante and ANI as to the future financial condition and operating results of BioSante and ANI and the other matters covered thereby and that the financial results reflected in such forecasts and estimates would be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected. Oppenheimer & Co. also assumed, at BioSante's direction, the final terms of the merger agreement would not vary materially from those set forth in the draft reviewed by Oppenheimer & Co. Oppenheimer & Co. further assumed, with BioSante's consent, that the merger would qualify for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Oppenheimer & Co. also assumed, with the consent of BioSante, that the merger would be consummated in accordance with its terms without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on BioSante or the contemplated benefits of the merger.

        Oppenheimer & Co. is not a legal, tax, regulatory or accounting advisor and relied on the assessments made by BioSante and its advisors with respect to such issues. The opinion of

Table of Contents

Oppenheimer & Co. did not constitute a solvency opinion or a fair value opinion, and Oppenheimer & Co. did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of BioSante under any federal or state laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Oppenheimer & Co. neither made nor obtained any independent evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of BioSante or ANI. Oppenheimer & Co. expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, any terms or other aspects or implications of the merger (other than the exchange ratios to the extent expressly specified in its opinion) or any aspect or implication of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the merger or otherwise, including, without limitation, the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation resulting from the merger to any individual officers, directors or employees of BioSante, or class of such persons, relative to the exchange ratios. Oppenheimer & Co. also expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, the issuance by BioSante of a distribution to the holders of BioSante common stock prior to the consummation of the merger consisting of contingent value rights with respect to certain payments arising from the sale, transfer, license or a similar transaction relating to BioSante's LibiGel program in accordance with the terms of a form of contingent value rights agreement in the form agreed to by BioSante and ANI.

        The opinion of Oppenheimer & Co. was based on the information available to it and general economic, financial and stock market conditions and circumstances as they existed and could be evaluated by Oppenheimer & Co. on the date of delivery of such opinion. Although subsequent developments may affect its opinion, Oppenheimer & Co. does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion, provided that Oppenheimer & Co. has agreed to deliver one update of its opinion, subject to certain conditions.

        This summary is not a complete description of Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion or the financial analyses performed and factors considered by Oppenheimer & Co. in connection with its opinion, but is a description of their material terms. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Oppenheimer & Co. arrived at its ultimate opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole, and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes of its opinion. In addition, Oppenheimer & Co. may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described below should not be taken to be Oppenheimer & Co.'s view of the actual value of ANI or BioSante. Accordingly, Oppenheimer & Co. believes that its analyses and this summary must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Oppenheimer & Co.'s analyses and opinion.

        In performing its analyses, Oppenheimer & Co. considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters existing as of the date of its opinion, many of which are beyond ANI's control. No company or business used in the analyses is identical to ANI, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies or business segments analyzed.

        The assumptions and estimates contained in Oppenheimer & Co.'s analyses and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by its analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to

127


Table of Contents

reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold or acquired. Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, Oppenheimer & Co.'s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

        Oppenheimer & Co. was not requested to, and it did not, recommend the specific consideration payable in the merger. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger was determined through negotiation between BioSante and ANI and was approved by the BioSante board of directors. Oppenheimer & Co. provided advice to BioSante during these negotiations. Oppenheimer & Co. did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to BioSante or the BioSante board of directors or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger. The decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the BioSante board of directors. Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion and financial analysis were only one of many factors considered by the BioSante board of directors in its evaluation of the merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the BioSante board of directors or management with respect to the merger or the exchange ratios or of whether the BioSante board of directors would have been willing to agree to different consideration.

        The following is a summary of the material financial analyses reviewed with the BioSante board of directors in connection with Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion dated April 12, 2013. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Oppenheimer & Co.'s financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Oppenheimer & Co.'s financial analyses.

Implied Equity Value of ANI Based on BioSante's Net Cash and Other Assets

        Based on dividing BioSante's estimated net cash and other assets of $36 million to $40 million at the closing of the merger by the 43 percent equity ownership percentage of the combined company to be held by BioSante's equity holders, Oppenheimer & Co. calculated an implied value of the equity of the combined company and an implied value of the equity of ANI in the range of $47 million to $53 million.

Valuation of Net Cash and Other Assets of BioSante

        Net cash and other assets of BioSante range was calculated based on the sum of four following components, each based on information provided by BioSante's management: (i) estimated net cash at the time of closing of the merger of $16 million, (ii) estimated value range of $1.0 million to $2.0 million for BioSante's 10.9 percent equity investment in Ceregene, Inc., (iii) the present value of the estimated free cash flows with respect to BioSante's male testosterone gel, and (iv) the estimated value range of $4.0 million to $6.0 million for BioSante's GVAX assets.

        Oppenheimer & Co. performed a discounted cash flow analysis of BioSante's male testosterone gel by calculating the estimated present value of the after-tax free cash flows that the product was forecasted to generate during fiscal years ending December 31, 2013 through 2019 based on internal estimates of BioSante's management. The cash flows were then discounted to present value as of March 31, 2013 using discount rates ranging from 17.2 percent to 19.2 percent, reflecting estimates of BioSante's weighted average cost of capital calculated using the capital asset pricing model and assuming that the selected companies' average capital structure represents the optimal capital structure. This analysis indicated an implied valuation range for BioSante's male testosterone gel of approximately $15 million to $16 million.

ANI Comparable Company Analysis

        Oppenheimer & Co. performed a comparable company analysis, which attempts to provide a range of implied aggregate values for ANI's equity and the combined company's net cash at the closing of the merger, which is referred to as the implied pro forma equity value for ANI, by comparing it to similar companies. Oppenheimer & Co. reviewed financial information of ANI and the following eight selected publicly-held specialty pharmaceutical companies:

    Actavis Inc.

    Mylan Inc.

    Perrigo Co.

    Hospira Inc.

    Akorn Inc.

    Impax Laboratories Inc.

    Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co. Inc.

    Lannett Co. Inc.

        All multiples were based on closing stock prices on April 10, 2013. Estimated financial data for the selected companies were based on public filings, information available through FactSet, and publicly available equity research analyst estimates. Estimated financial data for ANI were based on ANI management projections.

        For each of the selected companies, Oppenheimer & Co. calculated the following:

    Equity Value, which is defined as market capitalization on a fully-diluted basis.

    Enterprise Value, which is defined as market capitalization on a fully-diluted basis plus debt and preferred equity, less cash, adjusted for in-the-money options, warrants and convertible debt.

    Enterprise Value/Revenue 2015E, which is defined as the ratio of Enterprise Value to calendar year 2015 estimated revenue, as adjusted to reflect calendar year-end and pro-forma adjustments for acquisitions.

    Enterprise Value/EBITDA 2015E, which is defined as the ratio of Enterprise Value to calendar year 2015 estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA, as adjusted to reflect calendar year-end and pro-forma adjustments for acquisitions.

        Based on the analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the selected companies, Oppenheimer & Co. selected representative ranges of financial multiples of the selected companies and applied these ranges of multiples to determine the implied equity value of ANI. The median revenue multiple observed for the selected companies for estimated calendar year 2015 was 2.1x and the median EBITDA multiple observed for the selected companies for estimated calendar year 2015 was 8.0x. The selected ranges represent plus and minus 15 percent around each applicable median multiple. Financial data for the selected companies were based on publicly available research analyst estimates, public filings and other publicly available information. Financial data for ANI were based on information provided by the managements of ANI and BioSante. Based on the combined company's expected

129


Table of Contents

capitalization as a result of the merger, Oppenheimer & Co. calculated the estimated implied equity value of ANI as of April 10, 2013 as follows:

Financial Statistic
  Selected Company
Representative Multiple Range
  Implied Pro Forma Equity
Value of ANI ($ millions)

2015E Revenue

    1.8x - 2.5x   $86.7 - $118.8

2015E EBITDA

    6.8x - 9.2x   $81.0 - $111.0

        Oppenheimer & Co. noted that based on BioSante's estimated net cash and other assets at the closing of the merger, the implied value of the equity of ANI is in the range of $47 million to $53 million.

        Although the foregoing companies were compared to ANI for purposes of this analysis, Oppenheimer & Co. noted that no company used in the comparable companies analysis is identical to ANI because of differences between the private company/public company nature, business mix, markets served, operations, and other characteristics of ANI and the selected companies. In evaluating the selected companies, Oppenheimer & Co. relied on publicly available research analyst estimates, which estimates are based in part on judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of ANI, such as the impact of competition on the business of ANI, as well as on the industry generally, industry growth, and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition and prospects of ANI or the industry or in the markets generally.

ANI Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

        Oppenheimer & Co. performed a discounted cash flow analysis of ANI by calculating the estimated present value of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that ANI was forecasted to generate during fiscal years ending December 31, 2013 through 2020 based on internal estimates of ANI's management. Oppenheimer & Co. calculated terminal values for BioSante by applying a range of perpetuity growth rates to BioSante's fiscal year 2020 estimated free cash flow of 2 percent to 4 percent and a range of discount rates of 17.2 percent to 19.2 percent. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of September 30, 2012 using discount rates ranging from 17.2 percent to 19.2 percent, reflecting estimates of ANI's weighted average cost of capital calculated using the capital asset pricing model and assuming that the selected companies' average capital structure represents the optimal capital structure. This analysis indicated an implied equity valuation range for ANI of approximately $118 million to $158 million.

        Oppenheimer & Co. noted that based on BioSante's estimated net cash and other assets at the closing of the merger, the implied value of the equity of ANI is in the range of $47 million to $53 million.

Miscellaneous

        In connection with the review by the BioSante board of directors of the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock to ANI stockholders, Oppenheimer & Co. performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. Oppenheimer & Co. conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness of the exchange ratios pursuant to the merger agreement from a financial point of view to BioSante and in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated April 12, 2013 to the BioSante board of directors. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of BioSante common stock might naturally trade. The foregoing summary describes the material analyses performed by Oppenheimer & Co. but does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Oppenheimer & Co.

Table of Contents

        BioSante selected Oppenheimer & Co. to act as its financial advisor in connection with the merger based on Oppenheimer & Co.'s reputation and experience. Oppenheimer & Co. is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as a part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in valuations of businesses and securities in connection with acquisitions and mergers, underwritings, secondary distributions of securities, private placements and valuations for other purposes. In the ordinary course of business, Oppenheimer & Co. and its affiliates may actively trade securities of BioSante for Oppenheimer & Co.'s and its affiliates' own accounts and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, at any time may hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, a senior member of the Oppenheimer & Co. investment banking team assisting BioSante in connection with the merger currently owns approximately 1,400 shares of BioSante common stock, which were acquired in 2009.

        BioSante has agreed to pay Oppenheimer & Co. for its financial advisory services in connection with the merger a customary fee, $500,000 of which was payable upon delivery of Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion in October 2012 and $100,000 of which is contingent upon consummation of the merger. BioSante also has agreed to reimburse Oppenheimer & Co. for its expenses, including fees and expenses of its legal counsel, and to indemnify Oppenheimer & Co. and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement. In the two years prior to the date hereof, Oppenheimer & Co. has provided financial advisory services for BioSante unrelated to the merger and has received fees in the aggregate amount of $100,000 from BioSante in connection with certain of such services. During the same period, Oppenheimer & Co. provided certain private placement and/or arranger services for ANI unrelated to the merger; however, the related transaction was not consummated and Oppenheimer & Co. did not receive any compensation therefor. Oppenheimer & Co. also may seek to provide financial advisory services to BioSante in the future and expects to receive fees for the rendering of these services.

        The issuance of Oppenheimer & Co.'s opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Oppenheimer & Co. Oppenheimer & Co. has consented to the use of its written opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and such consent is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part.


Certain Financial Forecasts of ANI Used in Connection with the Merger

        ANI does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections as to future performance, earnings or other results, and ANI is particularly concerned with making such forecasts and projections due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. In connection with its due diligence process and evaluation of the merger, ANI's management prepared financial forecasts regarding certain items of its projected operating results, including ANI's forecasted revenues and EBITDA for its 2013 through 2020 fiscal years. ANI's financial forecasts were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure. However, ANI has included below a summary of its financial forecasts to provide its stockholders and investors access to certain non-public information that was furnished to third parties in connection with the merger.

        ANI's financial forecasts included assumptions with respect to general business, economic, competitive, regulatory, market and financial conditions, and other future events, as well as matters specific to ANI's business, such as the following, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond ANI's control:

    the time required to obtain FDA approval for ANDAs;

    the number of competitors, including authorized generics, for ANI's products;

    the prices at which ANI will be able to sell its products;

    the impact of new therapies on the sale of ANI's products;

131


Table of Contents

    changes affecting ANI's contract manufacturing customers; and

    changes in the cost or availability of ANI's raw materials.

        ANI's financial forecasts also assume the following:

    ANI will be able to continue to market all of its existing products, including its unapproved pharmaceutical products Opium Tincture and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone;

    ANI will be able to continue to contract manufacture, and earn royalties on, a group of unapproved pharmaceutical products marketed by its contract manufacturing customer;

    ANI will be able to obtain the raw materials necessary to support the ongoing commercial sales of its existing products, and the development, launch and commercial sales of its pipeline products, including obtaining a sufficient quota from the Drug Enforcement Administration to purchase raw materials to support the production and sales of its existing and future narcotic products;

    increases in the cost of raw materials for existing or pipeline products will not have a material negative effect on ANI's business;

    ANI will be able to develop and obtain FDA approval of and commercialize the products in its pipeline on a timely basis;

    recent trends in unit sales and pricing for each of ANI's pipeline products are a reasonable basis for forecasting total market size upon product launch;

    the number of competitors for ANI's existing products will remain stable;

    ANI's expectations regarding the number of potential competitors for each of its pipeline products are reasonable.

        ANI's financial forecasts presented below were provided to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. in connection with its financial analysis of the exchange ratios. In addition, ANI's financial forecasts also were provided to BioSante by Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and reviewed with the BioSante board of directors and were utilized by BioSante in connection with its financial analysis of the exchange ratios.

        The inclusion of ANI's financial forecasts in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that ANI or the ANI board of directors considered, or now considers, these forecasts to be material to the ANI or BioSante stockholders or necessarily indicative of actual future results. You should not place undue reliance on the unaudited financial forecasts of ANI contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Important Information About ANI's Financial Forecasts

        While ANI's financial forecasts were prepared in good faith, no assurance can be made regarding future events. The estimates and assumptions underlying ANI's financial forecasts involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to

132


Table of Contents

significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties described under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on pages 38 and 87, respectively, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of ANI and/or BioSante and will be beyond the control of the combined company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions will prove to be accurate or that the forecasted results will be realized, and actual results likely will differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in ANI's financial forecasts, whether or not the merger is completed.

        ANI's financial forecasts summarized in this section were prepared solely for internal use by ANI. This prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. ANI's management believes the forecasts were prepared in good faith and on a reasonable basis based on the best information available to ANI's management at the time of their preparation. ANI's financial forecasts, however, are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of actual future results, and readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. None of ANI's financial forecasts reflects any synergies or costs related to or that may arise from the merger.

        The prospective financial information of ANI included in this section has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, ANI's management. ANI's independent registered public accounting firm has neither examined, compiled nor performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying ANI prospective financial information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report of ANI's independent registered public accounting firm included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus relates to the historical financial information of ANI. It does not extend to the prospective financial information of ANI and should not be read to do so.

        By including in this joint proxy statement/prospectus a summary of ANI's financial forecasts, neither ANI nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of ANI compared to the information contained in ANI's financial forecasts. ANI has made no representation to BioSante, in the merger agreement or otherwise, concerning ANI's financial forecasts. ANI's financial forecasts summarized in this section were prepared during the periods described above and have not been updated to reflect any changes since the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or any actual results of operations of ANI, as set forth under the section entitled "Selected Historical Financial Data of ANI" beginning on page 31. Neither ANI, BioSante nor, after completion of the merger, the combined company undertakes any obligation, except as required by law, to update or otherwise revise ANI's financial forecasts to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.

        The foregoing summary of ANI's financial forecasts is not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any ANI stockholder to vote in favor of ANI Proposal No. 1 to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, or any other proposals to be voted on at the ANI special meeting or any BioSante stockholder to vote in favor of BioSante Proposal No. 1 to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger, or any other proposals to be voted on at the BioSante special meeting.

Interests of BioSante's Directors and Officers in the Merger

        In considering the recommendation of the BioSante board of directors to BioSante stockholders to vote in favor of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, and the other matters to be acted upon by BioSante stockholders at the BioSante special meeting, BioSante stockholders should be aware that members of the BioSante board of directors and BioSante's officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, in addition to, or may conflict with the interests of BioSante stockholders. These interests relate to or arise from, among other things:

    The fact that Fred Holubow and Ross Mangano, each of whom are current directors of BioSante, will continue to serve on the board of directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and will receive cash and equity compensation in connection with such service as described in more detail below and under "Management of the Combined Company After the Merger—Director Compensation."

    Severance benefits to which each of Stephen M. Simes and Phillip B. Donenberg will become entitled in connection with completion of the merger, as described in more detail below.

    The accelerated vesting of all BioSante stock options held by the directors and executive officers of BioSante upon completion of the merger as described in more detail below.

    The right to continued indemnification and insurance coverage for directors and executive officers of BioSante following completion of the merger, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, as described in more detail below.

        The BioSante board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock, and to recommend that BioSante stockholders approve the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and related matters. Other than full disclosure of these potential conflicts of interest, the BioSante board of directors did not take any other steps to alleviate such potential conflicts of interest since it did not consider such potential conflicts of interest to be material in connection with its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock.

Ownership Interests

        As of [                        ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, directors and executive officers of BioSante, together with their respective affiliates, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 472,335 shares of BioSante common stock and 16,666 shares of BioSante class C special stock, or approximately 1.9 percent of the shares of BioSante common stock and 25.6 percent of the shares of BioSante class C special stock outstanding on that date. Assuming the merger had been completed as of such date, all directors and executive officers of BioSante, together with their respective affiliates, would beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than one percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company and 25.6 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante class C special stock of the combined company.

        For a more complete discussion of the ownership interests of the directors and executive officers of BioSante, see the sections entitled "Principal Stockholders of BioSante" and "Principal Stockholders of the Combined Company."

Continuing Directors

        Following completion of the merger, Fred Holubow and Ross Mangano are expected to receive cash and equity compensation in accordance with BioSante's equity compensation policies for

134


Table of Contents

non-employee directors. Currently, BioSante provides an annual cash retainer of $25,000 for non-employee board members, pays each non-employee director $2,000 for board meetings attended in person, $1,000 for each board meeting attended by telephone and for each board committee meeting attended in person or by telephone, grants options on an annual basis and enters into indemnification agreements with each director, although these policies are subject to change at any time.

Employment Letter Agreements and Severance and Change in Control Agreements

        Upon completion of the merger and the anticipated termination of their employment on the date following completion of the merger, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg will be entitled to receive certain severance payments and other benefits or payments, as applicable, each as more fully described below. BioSante has adopted a rabbi trust to hold funds to pay the severance amounts owed to Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg that are subject to the six-month suspension rule under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

        Stephen M. Simes.     In January 1998, BioSante entered into an employment letter agreement with Stephen M. Simes. BioSante and Mr. Simes amended the agreement in July 2008 to ensure compliance with regulations on non-qualified deferred compensation severance benefits as mandated by Code Section 409A and to make certain changes to the change in control provisions. The agreement has not been amended since July 2008.

        As a result of the anticipated termination of his employment immediately after completion of the merger, Mr. Simes will be entitled to receive:

    a severance payment, which would be paid in one lump sum equal to the sum of: (1) two times his annual base salary, plus (2) his most recent annual bonus, plus (3) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs;

    substantially the same health, dental, life and disability insurance benefits he received prior to his termination for a period of up to 24 months and reimbursement for any costs incurred in securing such continuation coverage that are in excess of costs that would have been incurred by Mr. Simes immediately prior to his termination date to obtain such coverage; and

    provision of outplacement services up to a maximum amount of $30,000.

        Phillip B. Donenberg.     In June 1998, BioSante entered into an employment letter agreement with Phillip B. Donenberg. BioSante and Mr. Donenberg amended the agreement in July 2008 to ensure compliance with regulations on non-qualified deferred compensation severance benefits as mandated by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make certain changes to the change in control provisions. The agreement has not been amended since July 2008.

        As a result of the anticipated termination of his employment immediately after completion of the merger, Mr. Donenberg will be entitled to receive:

    a severance payment, which would be paid in one lump sum equal to, the sum of: (1) one and one-half times his annual base salary, plus (2) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs;

    substantially the same health, dental, life and disability insurance benefits he received prior to his termination for a period of up to 18 months and reimbursement for any costs incurred in securing such continuation coverage that are in excess of costs that would have been incurred by Mr. Donenberg immediately prior to his termination date to obtain such coverage; and

    provision of outplacement services up to a maximum amount of $30,000.

Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options

        The terms of the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Plan and the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan provide that upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, including the merger, the vesting of any stock options outstanding under such plans will be accelerated in full at the effective time of such corporate transaction. As a result, the outstanding unvested stock options held by directors and executive officers of BioSante will vest immediately and become exercisable in full upon completion of the merger. However, if the trading price of BioSante common stock does not trade above the respective per share exercise prices of the options held by such individuals during the terms of the respective options, then no BioSante directors or executive officers will receive any benefit as a result of the option acceleration. As of April 15, 2013, the closing sale price of BioSante common stock was $1.16 per share, as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market. In addition, since it is anticipated that the employment or other service of all of the directors and officers named below (except Mr. Holubow and Mr. Mangano) will terminate effective as of completion of the merger, all of the options held by such individuals will terminate, if unexercised, three months (one year, in the case of Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg, and on the expiration date of certain options held by Dr. Sherwin) after completion of the merger. These options likely will terminate unexercised in light of the fact that the exercise prices range from $4.08 to $220.92 per share.

        The table below sets forth, as of April 15, 2013, information with respect to BioSante stock options held by each of the directors and executive officers of BioSante:

Indemnification and Insurance

        The merger agreement provides that the combined company will continue to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director or officer of BioSante, with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to completion of the merger, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and BioSante's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The merger agreement also provides that the combined company will honor all indemnification agreements in place with each present and former director or officer of BioSante.

        The merger agreement also provides that, prior to completion of the merger, BioSante will purchase and maintain for a period of six years following completion of the merger, a directors' and officers' liability "tail" insurance policy covering the present and former directors and officers of BioSante for events occurring prior to completion of the merger. Such policy must contain terms no less favorable than the policies maintained by BioSante prior to completion of the merger.

Golden Parachute Compensation

        The following table sets forth the information required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of information about compensation for each "named executive officer" of BioSante that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger. This compensation is referred to as "golden parachute" compensation. The "golden parachute" compensation payable to BioSante's named executive officers is subject to a non-binding advisory vote of BioSante stockholders, as described under "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 4—Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation" beginning on page 96. Assuming that the merger is completed on July 31, 2013 and the named executive officers are terminated on such date, the executives would receive approximately the amounts set forth in the table below.

        In order for BioSante's executives to receive the payments or benefits set forth in the table below as a result of the merger, there must be a termination event, such as a termination by the combined company for any reason other than for cause or a termination by the executive for good reason. Such termination event must occur either within the period beginning on the date of the merger and ending on the last day of the first full calendar month following the second year anniversary date of the merger or prior to the merger if the termination of employment was either a condition of the merger or was at the request or insistence of a person related to the merger. For purposes of the change in control provisions, the definition of "good reason" is broader than outside the context of change in control and includes: (1) BioSante's failure to obtain from any successor the assent to assume the employment letter agreements; (2) any purported termination by BioSante of the executive's employment that is not properly effected; (3) a requirement that the executive be based at any office or location that is more than 30 miles further from the office or location thereof immediately preceding the change in control; and (4) any termination by the executive of his employment for any reason during the 13th month after the completion of the change in control.

Represents a severance payment under the executive's employment agreement, which would be paid in one lump sum equal to, in the case of Mr. Simes, the sum of: (a) two times his annual base salary, plus (b) his most recent annual bonus, plus (c) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs, in the case of Mr. Donenberg, the sum of: (a) 1 1 / 2 times his annual base salary, plus (b) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs. All such benefits are "double trigger" and would only be paid upon completion of the merger and the termination of the executive officer's employment following completion of the merger. This amount also includes the following annual bonuses for 2012 performance, which pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, may not be paid by BioSante until completion of the merger and are subject to reduction in the event BioSante's net cash as of immediately prior to closing of the merger is less than a certain specified amount: $200,000 and $100,000 to Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg, respectively.

The amounts above include the estimated value of substantially the same health, dental, life and disability insurance benefits the executive received prior to his termination for a period of up to 24 months for Mr. Simes and 18 months for Mr. Donenberg following the termination date, and reimbursement for any costs incurred in securing such continuation coverage that are in excess of costs that would have been incurred by the executive officer immediately prior to his termination date to obtain such coverage. The value of such

137

    benefits is estimated to be the following: Mr. Simes, $57,949 and Mr. Donenberg, $44,156. In addition, the above amounts include the provision of outplacement services up to a maximum amount of $30,000. All such benefits are "double trigger" and would only be paid upon completion of the merger and the termination of the executive officer's employment following completion of the merger.


Interests of ANI's Directors and Officers in the Merger

            In considering the recommendation of the ANI board of directors to the ANI stockholders to vote in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and the other matters to be acted upon by the ANI stockholders at the ANI special meeting, ANI stockholders should be aware that members of the ANI board of directors and ANI's officers have interests in the merger that may be different from or in addition to, or may conflict with the interests of the ANI stockholders. These interests relate to or arise from, among other things:

    The fact that, Robert E. Brown Jr., Tracy L. Marshbanks, Ph.D., Thomas A. Penn, Arthur S. Przybyl and Robert Schrepfer, each of whom are current directors of ANI, also will continue to serve on the board of directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and such directors, with the exception of Mr. Przybyl, will receive cash and equity compensation for such services, as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company After the Merger—Director Compensation."

    The fact that Robert E. Brown, Jr., ANI's chairman of the board, will continue as chairman of the board of the combined company.

    The fact that the executive officers of the combined company will be the current executive officers of ANI and such officers will receive compensation for such service as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company After the Merger—Officer Compensation."

    The fact that the executive officers of ANI will receive special transaction bonus payments upon closing of the merger ranging, for each officer, from approximately $489,416 to $2,336,186 payable (assuming a $1.19 per share price for BioSante common stock) in shares of ANI series D preferred stock, which shares will convert into shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, as described in more detail under "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

    The fact that MVP Capital Partners and Healthcare Value Capital, LLC, two firms affiliated with three of ANI's directors, will receive fees of approximately $350,000 and $40,000, respectively, upon closing of the merger. This is in addition to unpaid amounts due under existing monitoring arrangements with ANI, which will terminate at closing and which are expected not to exceed $53,334 for MVP Capital Partners and $13,333 for Healthcare Value Capital, LLC, assuming a closing on or before July 31, 2013.

    The right to continued indemnification and insurance coverage for directors and executive officers of ANI following completion of the merger, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

        None of ANI's directors or officers has any other interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the ANI stockholders. The ANI board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and to recommend that the ANI stockholders approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. Other than full disclosure of these potential conflicts of interest, the ANI board of directors did not take any other steps to alleviate such potential conflicts of

interest since it did not consider such potential conflicts of interest to be material in connection with its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger.

Ownership Interests

        As of [                  ], 2013, the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, directors and executive officers of ANI, together with their respective affiliates, beneficially owned 28,239 shares of ANI common stock (including warrants to purchase common stock) and 1,902,877 shares of ANI preferred stock, or approximately 68.6 percent of the shares of ANI common stock (including warrants to purchase common stock) and 73.4 percent of the shares of ANI preferred stock outstanding on that date. Only the ANI common stock and ANI preferred stock outstanding as of the record date have the right to vote at the ANI special meeting. Assuming the merger had been completed as of such date, all directors and executive officers of ANI, together with their respective affiliates, would beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately [            ] percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

        For a more complete discussion of the ownership interests of the directors and executive officers of ANI, see the sections entitled "ANI Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger."

        Following completion of the merger, the current executive officers of ANI are expected to be the executive officers of the combined company. The employment arrangements between ANI and such executive officers are expected to remain in place and the terms of such arrangements will be assumed by the combined company. For a discussion of the employment arrangements between ANI and the executive officers of ANI that are expected to become executive officers of the combined company see the section entitled "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Executive Compensation."

Transaction Bonus Agreements and Related Arrangements

        Pursuant to transaction bonus agreements between ANI and certain of its executive officers, such officers are entitled to receive a bonus based on the net proceeds to the ANI stockholders from the consummation of a "change of control" transaction. The agreements acknowledge that the merger between BioSante and ANI qualifies as a change of control. The net proceeds of the merger are calculated as the product of (a) the average closing sale price of the BioSante common stock for the five trading days prior to the announcement of a signed merger agreement with ANI (which announcement occurred on April 12, 2013) and (b) the aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to the ANI stockholders in the merger.

        In connection with the payment of the transaction bonuses to the executive officers of ANI, ANI is required to withhold from such payments amounts sufficient to pay the executives' required tax withholding obligations. ANI and its executive officers expect to enter into arrangements to fund the payment of such withholdings. The transaction bonus agreements and tax withholding arrangements are described in further detail in the section entitled "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Executive Compensation—Transaction Bonus Agreements and Related Arrangements."

Indemnification and Insurance

        The merger agreement provides that the combined company will continue to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, officer, or employee of ANI, with respect to acts or

139


Table of Contents

omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to completion of the merger, including advancing expenses, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. In addition, all rights to indemnification with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to completion of the merger existing in favor of each present and former director, officer, or employee of ANI as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation, ANI's bylaws, or indemnification agreements will remain in effect.

        The merger agreement also provides that, prior to completion of the merger, ANI will purchase and maintain for a period of six years following completion of the merger, a directors' and officers' liability "tail" insurance policy covering the directors and officers of ANI for events occurring prior to completion of the merger. Such policy must contain terms no less favorable than the policies maintained by ANI prior to completion of the merger.


Regulatory Approvals

        Neither BioSante nor ANI is required to make any filings or to obtain approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries to consummate the merger. In the United States, BioSante must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, including the filing with the SEC of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part. In addition, as described in more detail below, BioSante must comply with applicable rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market which, as described below, require the preparation and approval of an initial listing application in connection with the transaction.


NASDAQ Listing of BioSante Common Stock

        BioSante common stock currently is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "BPAX".

        NASDAQ considers the merger proposed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to be a business combination with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change in control of BioSante and has required that BioSante on behalf of the combined company submit a new initial listing application in connection with the transaction. One of the requirements for approval by NASDAQ of an initial listing application is a $4.00 per share minimum bid price. Because it is possible that the minimum bid price of the common stock of the combined company will not be at least $4.00 upon completion of the merger, it is possible that the new initial listing application will be denied by NASDAQ and that NASDAQ will issue the combined company a delisting letter immediately after completion of the merger. If this occurs, the combined company intends to take all reasonable action in order to maintain the listing of its common stock on NASDAQ. However, there can be no assurance that the combined company will be successful and if the combined company's common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, stockholders may have difficulty converting their investments into cash effectively. As a result, the relative price of the combined company's stock may decline and/or fluctuate more than in the past, and stockholders may have trouble converting their investments in the combined company into cash effectively.


Restrictions on Sales of BioSante Common Stock Received by ANI Stockholders in the Merger

        Pursuant to the merger agreement, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of ANI and certain stockholders of ANI have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements with BioSante pursuant to which the shares of BioSante common stock received by ANI stockholders in the merger may not be sold, transferred or encumbered for a 180-day period following completion of the merger, except in limited circumstances, and except that up to 50 percent of these shares issued to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of ANI may be sold pursuant to a trading plan adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

140


Table of Contents

        In addition, shares of BioSante common stock received by ANI stockholders who become affiliates of BioSante for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by Rule 144, or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed affiliates of BioSante generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with BioSante and may include officers and directors as well as principal stockholders of BioSante. Each director and executive officer of ANI who will serve as a director or executive officer of the BioSante following completion of the merger will be deemed an affiliate of BioSante for purposes of Rule 144.


Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

        BioSante and ANI intend the merger to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to structure the merger to qualify as a reorganization and not to take any action that would prevent the merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger." It is a condition to the completion of the merger that BioSante obtain from Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP, and ANI obtain from Dentons US LLP, an opinion that the merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.


Anticipated Accounting Treatment

        Under U.S. GAAP, the merger will be accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" pursuant to which ANI will be considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. As such, ANI will allocate the total purchase consideration to BioSante's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of the completion of the merger. ANI's historical results of operations will replace BioSante's historical results of operations for all periods prior to the merger; after completion of the merger, the results of operations of both companies will be included in BioSante's financial statements.

        BioSante will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Accounting Standards Codification 805 " Business Combinations ," referred to as "ASC 805," provides guidance for determining the accounting acquiror in a business combination when equity interests are exchanged between two entities. ASC 805 provides that in a business combination effected through an exchange of equity interests, such as the merger, the entity that issues the equity interests is generally the acquiring entity. Commonly, the acquiring entity is the larger entity. However, the facts and circumstances surrounding a business combination sometimes indicate that a smaller entity acquires a larger one. ASC 805 further provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a combination effected through an exchange of equity interests, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including the relative voting rights of the stockholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company and the terms of the exchange of equity securities in the business combination, including payment of any premium.

        Based on the relative voting interests of BioSante and ANI in the combined company whereby the ANI stockholders will have majority voting interest, that the board of directors of the combined entity will be composed of five former-ANI board members and two former-BioSante directors and that the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the combined entity will be the former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer of ANI, ANI is considered to be the acquiror of BioSante for accounting purposes. This means that the total purchase price will be allocated to BioSante's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated relative fair market values at the date of the completion of the merger. Final valuations of property, plant and

141


Table of Contents

equipment, and intangible and other assets have not yet been completed as management is still reviewing the existence, characteristics and useful lives of BioSante's intangible assets. The completion of the valuation work could result in significantly different amortization expenses and balance sheet classifications. After completion of the merger, the results of operations of both companies will be included in the financial statements of BioSante. For further discussion of the accounting treatment, see "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."


Appraisal Rights

BioSante

        If the merger is completed, BioSante stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL).

ANI

        If the merger is completed, ANI stockholders who have not waived such rights are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, referred to as Section 262, provided that they comply with the conditions established by Section 262.

        This section is intended to provide a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures that a stockholder must follow in order to seek and perfect appraisal rights. However, this summary is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the relevant provisions of Delaware law, which are attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that ANI stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262. Failure to follow precisely any of the statutory procedures set forth in Annex I may result in a termination or waiver of appraisal rights.

        A record holder of shares of ANI capital stock who makes the demand described below with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective time of the merger, who submits a written demand for appraisal to ANI in compliance with the statutory requirements of Section 262, and who does not submit a proxy or vote in favor of the ANI Proposal No. 1 or consent thereto in writing will be entitled to an appraisal by the Delaware Court of Chancery of the fair value of his, her or its shares of ANI capital stock in lieu of the consideration that such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement. All references in this summary of appraisal rights to a "stockholder" or "holders of shares of ANI capital stock" are to the record holder or holders of shares of ANI capital stock.

        Under Section 262, because the merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at the ANI special meeting, not fewer than 20 days prior to the meeting, ANI must notify each of the holders of its stock for whom appraisal rights are available that such appraisal rights are available and include in such notice a copy of Section 262. This joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes such notice to the record holders of ANI capital stock and a copy of Section 262 is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I.

        ANI stockholders who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must satisfy all of the conditions of Section 262. Those conditions include the following:

        ANI stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must not submit a proxy or vote "for" the ANI Proposal No. 1. Submitting a proxy or voting "for" the ANI Proposal No. 1 will result in the waiver of appraisal rights. Also, because a submitted proxy not marked "against" or "abstain" will be voted "for" the ANI Proposal No. 1, the submission of a proxy not marked "against" or "abstain" will result in the waiver of appraisal rights.

142


Table of Contents

        A written demand for appraisal of shares of ANI capital stock must be delivered to ANI before the taking of the vote on the ANI Proposal No. 1 at the ANI special meeting. The written demand for appraisal should specify the ANI stockholder's name and mailing address, and that such stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of his, her or its shares of ANI capital stock. The written demand for appraisal of shares of ANI capital stock is in addition to and separate from a vote against the ANI Proposal No. 1 or an abstention from such vote. Failure to return your proxy, voting against, or abstaining from voting on, the ANI Proposal No. 1 will not satisfy your obligation to make a written demand for appraisal. Failure to make a written demand for appraisal prior to the taking of the vote on the ANI Proposal No. 1 at the ANI special meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.

        A demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the ANI stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as such stockholder's name appears on the stock certificate. If the shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, this demand must be executed by or for the fiduciary. If the shares of ANI capital stock are owned by or for more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, such demand must be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for an ANI stockholder of record. However, the agent must identify such record holder and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he is acting as agent for such record holder. A person having a beneficial interest in ANI capital stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker or nominee, must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps summarized below in a timely manner to perfect appraisal rights on behalf of the beneficial owners.

        An ANI stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights should mail or deliver his, her or its written demand to ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 210 Main Street West, Baudette, Minnesota 56623, Attention: Corporate Treasurer.

        Within 10 days after the effective time of the merger, ANI must provide notice of the effective time of the merger to all ANI stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and have not voted in favor of the ANI Proposal No. 1.

        Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, either ANI or any ANI stockholder who has complied with the required conditions of Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on ANI in the case of a petition filed by an ANI stockholder, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of ANI capital stock held by all ANI stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights. There is no present intent on the part of ANI to file an appraisal petition, and ANI stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that ANI will file such a petition or that ANI will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of such shares. Accordingly, ANI stockholders who desire to have their shares of ANI capital stock appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262. Failure to file a petition for appraisal within the time period specified in Section 262 could result in a loss of appraisal rights.

        Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, any ANI stockholder who has satisfied the requirements of Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from ANI a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of ANI common stock and ANI preferred stock not voting in favor of the ANI Proposal No. 1 and with respect to which demands for appraisal were received by ANI and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement must be mailed within 10 days after the ANI stockholder's request has been received by ANI or within 10 days after the expiration of the period for the delivery of demands as described above, whichever is later.

        If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed and a copy thereof is served upon ANI, ANI will then be obligated, within 20 days after such service, to file in the office of the Delaware Register in Chancery (the "Register") a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all ANI stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of ANI capital stock and with whom

143


Table of Contents

agreements as to the value of such shares have not been reached. Upon notice to the ANI stockholders, as required by the Delaware Court of Chancery, at a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which ANI stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the ANI stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares of ANI capital stock and who hold such stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any ANI stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. Where proceedings are not dismissed, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the shares of ANI capital stock owned by such stockholders, determining the fair value of such shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger. When the fair value has been determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value upon surrender by those stockholders of the certificates representing their shares of ANI capital stock. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective time of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5 percent over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective time of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment.

        Although the board of directors of ANI believes that the merger consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as would be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and ANI stockholders should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger agreement. Moreover, ANI does not anticipate offering more than the merger consideration to any ANI stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserves the right to assert in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262, the "fair value" of a share of ANI capital stock is less than the merger consideration. In determining "fair value," the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc ., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered and that "fair price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which shed any light on the future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc ., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a "narrow exclusion that does not encompass known elements of value," but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger , the Delaware Supreme Court also stated that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered." In addition, Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenting stockholder's exclusive remedy.

        The cost of the appraisal proceeding, which does not include attorneys' or experts' fees, may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and imposed upon the dissenting ANI stockholder(s) and/or ANI as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. Each dissenting ANI stockholder is responsible for his, her or its attorneys' and expert witness fees and expenses, although, upon application of a dissenting ANI stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting ANI stockholder in

144


Table of Contents

connection with the appraisal proceeding, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of ANI capital stock entitled to appraisal.

        Any ANI stockholder who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the effective time of the merger, be entitled to vote for any purpose any shares of ANI capital stock subject to such demand or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares, except for dividends or distributions payable to ANI stockholders of record at a date prior to the effective time of the merger.

        At any time within 60 days after the effective time of the merger, any ANI stockholder will have the right to withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered in the merger agreement. After this period, an ANI stockholder may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and receive payment for his, her or its shares as provided in the merger agreement only with the consent of ANI. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, or if any ANI stockholder otherwise fails to perfect, successfully withdraws, or loses such holder's appraisal rights, then such stockholder's right to appraisal will cease and such stockholder's shares of ANI capital stock will be deemed to have been converted at the effective time of the merger into the right to receive the consideration that such ANI stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement. Inasmuch as ANI has no obligation to file such a petition, any ANI stockholder who desires a petition to be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis. Any ANI stockholder may withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal by delivering to ANI a written withdrawal of his, her or its demand for appraisal and acceptance of the merger consideration, except that (i) any such attempt to withdraw made more than 60 days after the effective time of the merger will require written approval of ANI and (ii) no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any ANI stockholder who commenced or joined such proceeding as a named party without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just.

        Failure by any ANI stockholder to comply fully with the procedures described above and set forth in Annex I to this joint proxy statement/prospectus may result in the loss of such stockholder's appraisal rights. In view of the complexity of exercising appraisal rights under Delaware law, any ANI stockholder considering exercising these rights should consult with legal counsel.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

         BioSante, Merger Sub and ANI entered into an amended and restated merger agreement on April 12, 2013. The full text of this agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. BioSante and ANI urge you to read the merger agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the merger and related matters.

         The representations and warranties described below and included in the merger agreement were made by BioSante and ANI to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the merger agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by BioSante and ANI in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between BioSante and ANI rather than establishing matters as facts. The merger agreement is described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and included as Annex A only to provide you with information regarding the material terms and conditions of the merger agreement, and not to provide any other factual information regarding BioSante, ANI or their respective businesses. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the merger agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about BioSante or ANI, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for information regarding BioSante, ANI and their respective businesses.


Structure of the Merger

        Under the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


Completion of the Merger

        Completion of the merger will occur at the time that the parties file the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the closing date of the merger or on such later date as BioSante and ANI may mutually agree (and set forth in the certificate of merger).

        The closing of the merger will take place no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to completion of the merger contained in the merger agreement, other than the conditions which by their terms can be satisfied only as of the closing of the merger or on such other day as BioSante and ANI may mutually agree. For a more complete discussion of the conditions to completion of the merger, see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger." Because completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction of other conditions, BioSante and ANI cannot predict the exact time at which the merger will become effective and be completed, although it is anticipated to be completed at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of 2013.


Merger Consideration and Adjustment

        At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, each ANI stockholder who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of BioSante common stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of BioSante

146


Table of Contents

common stock issuable to such holder) will be entitled to receive an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction of a share of BioSante common stock by the closing price of a share of BioSante common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on the day on which the merger is completed.

        Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the current stockholders of ANI will own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and current stockholders of BioSante will own 43 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company. BioSante will issue to the current stockholders of ANI the aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock necessary for the ANI stockholders to own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

        The exchange ratio for each share of ANI capital stock will be determined based solely on the aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock that BioSante issues in connection with the merger. The aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock that BioSante issues in connection with the merger will be determined by multiplying 57 percent by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of adjusted outstanding shares of BioSante common stock (as described below) and the denominator of which is 43 percent. The number of adjusted outstanding shares of BioSante common stock will be equal to the sum of the total number of shares of BioSante common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger plus the product of .32 times the number of remaining shares of BioSante common stock that are issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,039,254 shares of BioSante common stock issued in or around August 2012. Pursuant to the terms of ANI's certificate of incorporation, before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of any other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series D preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $30.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation) plus all declared but unpaid dividends. As a result of such provisions, it is likely that holders of shares of other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger. Assuming that only holders of ANI series D preferred stock will receive shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger, the exchange ratio for each share of ANI series D preferred stock will be determined by dividing the aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock issued in connection with the merger by the aggregate number of shares of ANI series D preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger.

        For illustrative purposes only, if the merger had been completed on April 15, 2013, the exchange ratio for the ANI series D preferred stock (including shares that would have been issued to certain executive officers of ANI immediately prior to completion of the merger) would have been approximately 12.2901 shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series D preferred stock and the exchange ratio for the ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock would have been zero. Therefore, if the merger had been completed on such date and you owned 1,000 shares of ANI series D preferred stock as of such date, you would have had the right to receive 12,290 shares of BioSante common stock in exchange for your shares of ANI series D preferred stock. If you owned 1,000 shares of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock as of such date, you would not be entitled to receive any shares of BioSante common stock for such shares of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock.


Treatment of ANI Stock Options and Warrants

        All options and warrants to purchase shares of ANI capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will terminate and will no longer be outstanding immediately after the

147


Table of Contents

merger, except for certain warrants which will be canceled pursuant to the terms of separate warrant termination agreements.


Conditions to Completion of the Merger

        The obligations of each of BioSante and ANI to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible) at or before the effective time of the merger of the following conditions:

    the approval by the requisite vote of BioSante stockholders of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger;

    the adoption of the merger agreement, including the merger, by the requisite vote of ANI stockholders;

    the absence of any legal prohibition to completing the merger;

    the effectiveness of, and the absence of any stop order with respect to, the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part;

    the listing of BioSante common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market through the completion of the merger; and

    the receipt of legal opinions from BioSante's and ANI's outside counsel that the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        In addition, each party's obligation to complete the merger is further subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible) by that party of the following additional conditions:

    the representations and warranties of the other party in the merger agreement are true and correct in all material respects, in each case as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the effective time of the merger, or, if such representations and warranties address matters as of a particular date, then as of that particular date;

    the other party to the merger agreement has performed or complied with in all material respects all agreements and covenants required to be performed or complied with by it at or before the closing of the merger;

    the other party has delivered a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer certifying to the satisfaction of such party of the above conditions in the merger agreement; and

    no material adverse effect on the other party has occurred and is continuing since the date of the merger agreement.

        In addition, the obligation of ANI to complete the merger is further subject to the satisfaction or waiver at or before the effective time of the merger of the following additional condition:

    no new legal proceeding has been instituted against BioSante by any stockholder or holder of BioSante's convertible senior notes that has not been settled prior to the closing.


No Solicitation

        Prior to the consummation of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, BioSante and ANI each agreed that, except as described below, they and any

148


Table of Contents

of their subsidiaries will not, and will cause any of their respective officers, directors, employees and advisors retained by them or any of their subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly:

    solicit, initiate, encourage, facilitate or induce the making of any "acquisition proposal" of the type described below;

    enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding or otherwise facilitate or induce any effort or attempt to make or implement any acquisition proposal;

    approve, endorse or recommend any acquisition proposal; or

    agree, resolve or commit to do any of the foregoing.

        An "acquisition proposal" is any proposal or offer in a single transaction or series of related transactions, other than pursuant to the merger agreement, with respect to either ANI or BioSante, respectively, involving: (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities, direct or indirect acquisition of securities, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction pursuant to which a person or group of persons would own 15 percent or more of the voting power of any class of equity securities of such party; (ii) any issuance of securities representing 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of such party; (iii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of assets that constitute or represent 15 percent or more of the consolidated net revenue or fair market value of the assets of such party; or (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of such party.

        However, prior to BioSante stockholder approval of the issuance of BioSante common stock in the merger, BioSante is permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations with, and provide information to, any person in response to an unsolicited written acquisition proposal that is a "superior proposal" of the type described below or could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal if:

    the BioSante board of directors determines, after receiving the advice of its advisors, that such acquisition proposal is a superior proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal and that failing to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to BioSante stockholders;

    the person or group of persons making the acquisition proposal enter into a confidentiality agreement with terms no less restrictive to such person than the terms of the confidentiality agreement between ANI and BioSante; and

    within one day of receipt of an acquisition proposal, BioSante advises ANI in writing of such receipt or any inquiry to request to enter into discussions with respect to an acquisition proposal, provides a summary of the material terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal, the identity of the person making such proposal, and copies of any acquisition proposal and other written materials provided in connection with such acquisition proposal.

        In connection with a superior proposal, BioSante may make a change in its board recommendation of the merger and the amendments to BioSante's certificate of incorporation or terminate the merger agreement to enter into such superior proposal concurrent with or immediately following such termination, if:

    the BioSante board of directors determines, after receiving the advice of its advisors, that such acquisition proposal is a superior proposal and that failing to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to BioSante stockholders; and

    prior to changing its board recommendation or terminating the merger agreement, BioSante gives ANI (i) at least three business days' notice of its intention to change its board recommendation or terminate the merger agreement and the material terms and conditions of

149


Table of Contents

      such superior proposal, and (ii) the opportunity to negotiate with BioSante during such notice period in good faith to revise the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so that the superior proposal ceases to be a superior proposal.

        A "superior proposal" is a bona fide written acquisition proposal, changing the references to 15 percent in the definition of "acquisition proposal" above to be references to 50 percent, which the BioSante board of directors determines, after receiving the advice of its advisors, is reasonably likely to be consummated if accepted and is more favorable to BioSante stockholders from a financial point of view than the merger with ANI, after taking into account, among other factors the BioSante board of directors may deem relevant, the various legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, all the terms and conditions of the proposal and any changes to the terms of the merger agreement offered by ANI in response to such proposal.

        The merger agreement also provides that the parties will keep each other reasonably informed of the status of any negotiations with respect to an acquisition proposal and will provide each other the identity of the person making the proposal and any non-public information provided to any other person in connection with an acquisition proposal.


Meetings of Stockholders; Change in Board Recommendation

        BioSante is obligated under the merger agreement to call and hold the BioSante special meeting for purposes of considering the approval of the issuance of BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger. The BioSante board of directors has recommended the approval of the issuance of BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger by BioSante stockholders and has agreed that it will not change or publicly propose to change, in any manner adverse to ANI, the approval or recommendation by the BioSante board of directors of the issuance of BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger or take any action inconsistent with its recommendation. However, the BioSante board of directors may make a change in its recommendation prior to BioSante stockholder approval of the issuance of BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger under the circumstances described above under the heading "The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation."

        Unless the merger agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, even if the BioSante board of directors has made an adverse recommendation change regarding the issuance of the BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger, those proposals must be submitted to BioSante stockholders at a meeting of BioSante stockholders called for such purpose.

        ANI is obligated under the merger agreement to call and hold the ANI special meeting for purposes of considering the adoption of the merger agreement. The ANI board of directors has recommended the adoption of the merger agreement by the ANI stockholders and has agreed that it will not change or publicly propose to change, in any manner adverse to BioSante, the approval or recommendation by the ANI board of directors of the merger agreement or merger, or take any action inconsistent with its recommendation. However, the ANI board of directors may make a change in its recommendation prior to the ANI stockholder approval of the merger and the merger agreement, if:

    the BioSante board of directors has changed its recommendation of the approval of the issuance of BioSante common stock pursuant to the merger;

    BioSante has engaged in discussions or negotiations with, or provided information to, any person in response to a superior proposal; or

    ANI has terminated the merger agreement.

        Unless the merger agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms or the BioSante board of directors changes its recommendation as described above, even if the ANI board of directors has made an adverse recommendation change regarding the merger, the proposal to adopt the merger

agreement must be submitted to the ANI stockholders at a meeting of the ANI stockholders called for such purpose.

    by BioSante or ANI, if any applicable law irrevocably prohibits or makes the merger illegal or a governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling or taken any other action that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the merger, except that the right to terminate the merger agreement for this reason is not available to any party who has not used reasonable best efforts to cause such law or order to be lifted;

    by BioSante or ANI, if the other party has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the merger agreement or if any representation or warranty has become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions to the closing of the merger would not be satisfied, provided that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable, then the merger agreement will not terminate pursuant to this provision as a result of a particular breach or inaccuracy until the expiration of a 30-day period after delivery of notice of such breach or inaccuracy if such breach has not been cured; or

    by ANI, if after BioSante receives an acquisition proposal, BioSante has materially breached its obligations under the merger agreement with respect to the acquisition proposal.

    ANI terminates the merger agreement due to a BioSante triggering event or an uncured BioSante breach of the merger agreement that causes the conditions to closing of the merger to not be satisfied and within 12 months after the date of any such termination BioSante enters into a definitive agreement with respect to (and subsequently consummates) an acquisition proposal (changing the 15 percent amount referred to in the definition of "acquisition proposal" described above under the heading "The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation," to 30 percent for purposes of this provision);

    BioSante or ANI terminates the merger agreement because BioSante stockholders did not approve the issuance of shares in connection with the merger, including if the BioSante special meeting is not held by the deadline to complete the merger, and within two months after the date of such termination BioSante enters into a definitive agreement with respect to (and subsequently consummates) an acquisition proposal (using the 30 percent amount described above);

    BioSante terminates the merger agreement because of a superior proposal in accordance with the merger agreement, as described under the heading above "The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation."

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

General

        Under the terms of the merger agreement, BioSante has the right in its sole discretion to distribute and issue contingent value rights (CVRs), to holders of BioSante common stock as of immediately prior to completion of the merger. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, BioSante plans to distribute and issue CVRs to holders of record of BioSante common stock as of the date of the BioSante special meeting, [              ], 2013. One CVR will be issued for each share of BioSante common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution of the CVRs. Since shares of BioSante class C special stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends, holders of BioSante class C special stock will not be entitled to receive any CVRs.


Contingent Value Rights Agreement

        BioSante plans to enter into a contingent value rights agreement with Computershare Inc., as rights agent, for the purpose of establishing the terms and conditions of the CVRs and the procedures by which payments, if any, will be made to the CVR holders. The form of the contingent value rights agreement is attached as Annex G to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. BioSante and ANI urge you to read the form of the contingent value rights agreement carefully and in its entirety.


Material Terms of the CVRs

        The CVRs will not be certificated and will not be attached to the shares of BioSante common stock. The CVRs will be nontransferable, subject to certain limited exceptions as set forth in the contingent value rights agreement. The CVRs will not represent an equity or ownership interest in the combined company or otherwise, and CVR holders will have no voting or dividend rights. The rights of CVR holders will be limited to those rights expressly set forth in the contingent value rights agreement.

        Pursuant to the contingent value rights agreement, CVR holders, under certain circumstances, may have rights to receive a portion of the net cash proceeds actually received by the combined company in connection with a LibiGel transaction and 5 percent of the net revenues of the LibiGel product by the combined company. A "LibiGel transaction" for purposes of the contingent value rights agreement means a full or partial sale, license, transfer or other disposition entered into by the combined company with respect to the LibiGel assets. The "LibiGel assets" for purposes of the contingent value rights agreement mean the intellectual property rights and know-how and related assets, that currently are or have been used in the research, development and manufacture of BioSante's LibiGel product, a proprietary transdermal testosterone formulation subject to a license agreement with Antares Pharma Inc., including all BioSante generated regulatory filings, clinical and non-clinical safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic data, compiled by or on behalf of BioSante in connection with the development of the LibiGel product. The "net revenues" for purposes of the contingent value rights agreement means the direct sales of the LibiGel product by the combined company (including to a distributor or through a sales agent) minus discounts, selling commissions, credits, rebates, write-offs, and sales tax and VAT.

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the contingent value rights agreement, if the combined company consummates a LibiGel transaction within the 10-year period following completion of the merger, CVR holders will be entitled to receive cash payments equal to such holder's pro rata portion of 66 percent of the net cash proceeds actually received by the combined company in connection with such LibiGel transaction during the 10-year period following completion of the merger. If the combined company does not consummate a LibiGel transaction during the 10-year period following completion of the merger, no cash payment will be payable to CVR holders for any LibiGel transaction.

159


Table of Contents

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the contingent value rights agreement, if the combined company realizes any net proceeds from sales of LibiGel product within the 10-year period following completion of the merger and does not have more than $2.5 million of "development expenses" between the date the contingent value rights agreement is signed and the first sale of LibiGel products, then CVR holders will be entitled to receive cash payments equal to such holder's pro rata portion of 5 percent of the net proceeds from sales of LibiGel product during the 10-year period following completion of the merger. The "net revenues" for purposes of the contingent value rights agreement means (i) all legal, regulatory and other out-of-pocket fees or expenses relating to obtaining any governmental or industry approvals required or deemed advisable for sale or distribution of the LibiGel product, (ii) any costs of development or costs relating to the conduct or completion of any clinical trials, safety studies or other research studies or costs of otherwise obtaining any needed efficacy, safety or other data in respect of the potential sale or distribution of the LibiGel product, and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs incurred or payable after the Effective Time in connection with or relating to the contingent value rights. If there are more than $2.5 million of "development expenses" between the completion of the merger and the first sale of LibiGel products, then no cash payment will be payable to CVR holders for any sales of the LibiGel products.

        The maximum aggregate amount payable to holders of contingent value rights is $50.0 million.

        Under the contingent value rights agreement, the combined company's only obligation will be to act in good faith in connection with: (1) any continued operation of, development of or investment in the LibiGel assets; (2) pursuing, negotiating or entering into one or more LibiGel transactions; and (3) the terms and conditions of any LibiGel transaction.


Discretion of BioSante to Issue CVRs

        Although BioSante currently plans to enter into the contingent value rights agreement and issue CVRs to holders of BioSante common stock, there is no assurance that BioSante will distribute and issue the CVRs at all or based on the terms currently set forth in the form of contingent value rights agreement attached as Annex G to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, BioSante has not entered into the contingent value rights agreement and it is possible that the BioSante board of directors may determine in its sole discretion not to issue the CVRs based on, among other things, the tax impact to the holders of BioSante common stock of the distribution and issuance of the CVRs. Furthermore, if BioSante and ANI agree, the terms of the contingent value rights agreement as currently contemplated may be changed prior to BioSante entering into the contingent value rights agreement.

Table of Contents

    the tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of shares of BioSante common stock acquired in the merger; or

    all of the tax implications of a failure of the merger to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

         Accordingly, ANI stockholders are advised and expected to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger in light of their personal circumstances and the consequences of the merger under U.S. federal non-income tax laws and state, local and foreign tax laws.

    U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

        The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. BioSante and ANI have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to structure the merger to qualify as a "reorganization" and not to take any action that would prevent the merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Further, as a condition to the completion of the merger, Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP must render a tax opinion to BioSante that the merger will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and Dentons US LLP must render a tax opinion to ANI that the merger will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Neither BioSante nor ANI presently intends to waive these conditions. The tax opinions discussed in this section will be conditioned upon certain assumptions and qualifications stated in the tax opinions and will be based on the truth, accuracy, and completeness, as of the completion of the merger, of certain representations and other statements made by each of BioSante and ANI, as applicable, in letters delivered to counsel rendering such opinions.

        Neither BioSante nor ANI will request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax consequences of the merger. The opinions of counsel do not bind the IRS or courts of law and thus do not prevent the IRS from asserting a contrary position, or a court from upholding any such assertion. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which the opinions are based are inconsistent with the actual facts, the tax consequences of the merger and the vitality of the opinions could be adversely affected.

        It is expected that Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP and Dentons US LLP, subject to the qualifications described above, will each deliver an opinion that the merger will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Assuming that the merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the following material U.S. federal income tax consequences should result:

    BioSante, ANI and BioSante stockholders generally will recognize no gain or loss solely as a result of the merger;

    ANI stockholders, other than ANI stockholders who exercise appraisal rights (as discussed below), generally will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of BioSante common stock for their ANI capital stock, other than with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of BioSante common stock (as discussed below);

    the aggregate tax basis of the shares of BioSante common stock that are received by an ANI stockholder in the merger will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the shares of ANI capital stock surrendered in exchange therefor, reduced by any amount allocable to a fractional share of BioSante common stock for which cash is received;

    the holding period of the shares of BioSante common stock received by an ANI stockholder in connection with the merger will include the holding period of the shares of ANI capital stock surrendered in exchange therefor; and

162


Table of Contents

    an ANI stockholder who receives cash instead of a fractional share of BioSante common stock generally will recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between such stockholder's basis in the fractional share and the amount of cash received.

        There will be no material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger for BioSante stockholders whether or not the merger qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

    Treatment of ANI Stockholders Who Exercise Appraisal Rights

        The discussion above does not apply to ANI stockholders who properly perfect appraisal rights with respect to such stockholder's shares of ANI capital stock. Generally, an ANI stockholder who perfects appraisal rights and receives cash in exchange for such stockholder's ANI capital stock will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and such stockholder's adjusted tax basis in those shares. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss, provided the shares of ANI capital stock were held for more than one year before the disposition of the shares. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

    Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Generally, non-corporate ANI stockholders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28 percent) with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share interest in BioSante common stock or cash received for perfecting appraisal rights. However, backup withholding will not apply to an ANI stockholder who furnishes a valid taxpayer identification number and complies with certain certification procedures or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional U.S. federal income tax. Any amounts so withheld will be allowed as a refund or credit against the ANI stockholder's U.S. federal income tax liability (if any), provided that the ANI stockholder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

         The foregoing summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. In addition, the summary does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. Moreover, the summary does not address any U.S. federal non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger, nor any tax consequences of any transaction other than the merger. Accordingly, each ANI stockholder is strongly urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor to determine the particular federal, state, local, or foreign income or other tax consequences of the merger to such ANI stockholder.

BIOSANTE'S BUSINESS

Overview

        BioSante is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for female sexual health, menopause, contraception and male hypogonadism. BioSante's corporate strategy is to develop high value medically-needed pharmaceutical products. As a part of BioSante's corporate strategy, BioSante seeks to implement strategic alternatives with respect to its products and its company, including licenses, business collaborations and other business combinations or transactions with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Therefore, as a matter of course, from time to time, BioSante may engage in discussions with third parties regarding the licensure, sale or acquisition of its products and technologies, with the goal of maximizing stockholder value.

        BioSante's products, either approved or in clinical development, include:

    LibiGel—once daily transdermal testosterone gel in Phase III development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).

    Male testosterone gel—once daily transdermal testosterone gel approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated for the treatment of hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency in men, and licensed to Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva).

    The Pill-Plus (triple component contraceptive)—once daily use of various combinations of estrogens, progestogens and androgens in Phase II development.

    Elestrin—once daily transdermal estradiol (estrogen) gel approved by the FDA indicated for the treatment of hot flashes associated with menopause and marketed in the U.S. by Meda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Meda), BioSante's licensee.

        BioSante's lead product in development is LibiGel for the treatment of FSD, specifically HSDD, in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved pharmaceutical product. For the past several years, BioSante has focused its efforts on two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials and a LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study. In December 2011, BioSante announced results from its two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, which showed that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although LibiGel performed as predicted, increasing satisfying sexual events and sexual desire and decreasing distress associated with low desire, the placebo response in the two efficacy trials was greater than expected, and LibiGel's results were not shown to be statistically different from the placebo.

        Beginning in December 2011, BioSante analyzed the data from its Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, consulted with key opinion leaders in female sexual dysfunction, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, and met with representatives of the FDA. As a result of this process, in June 2012, BioSante announced a plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. BioSante is in the process of developing a protocol for the two new efficacy trials and applying for an FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials. BioSante expects that any potential new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials would include the same FDA-required efficacy endpoints as its prior Phase III efficacy trials: an increase in the number of satisfying sexual events and sexual desire, and decreased distress associated with low desire. BioSante estimates that the cost of the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials would be similar to the cost of the previous trials, approximately $15 to $18 million each, or a combined $30 to $36 million spread over approximately 18 months. No assurance can be provided that these cost estimates will be correct or that BioSante, if it decides to pursue the trials, will be able to obtain the necessary working capital to fund the trials. In addition, no assurance can be provided that BioSante will be able to design the two new efficacy trials to the FDA's satisfaction or to minimize sufficiently the placebo effect and meet the co-primary and secondary endpoints for the trials.

        With respect to BioSante's LibiGel Phase III safety study, in September 2012, BioSante announced that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) completed its ninth unblinded review of the LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study and recommended that the LibiGel safety study should continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modifications. Given this latest review during which no specific or general safety issues were raised, and after extensive consideration, BioSante announced in September 2012 the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study effective immediately. Prior to the initiation of the LibiGel safety study in 2008, the FDA had advised BioSante that subjects in the cardiovascular event and breast cancer safety study were required to have a minimum average exposure in the safety study of 12 months prior to submitting a LibiGel new drug application (NDA), and prior to a potential FDA approval of LibiGel. As of the date of the conclusion of the safety study, subjects had been in the study for an average time of 24.8 months; more than 3,200 subjects had been in the study for more than one year and over 1,850 subjects had been enrolled for more than two years. With this ninth unblinded review of the study by the DMC, and over 7,400 women-years of exposure, BioSante believes that adequate safety data of LibiGel use in menopausal women has been obtained.

        Elestrin is BioSante's first FDA approved product and is one of BioSante's two FDA approved products. Meda (which acquired Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s women's health business and which in turn acquired Azur Pharma International II Limited (Azur), BioSante's prior original licensee), is marketing Elestrin in the U.S. In December 2009, BioSante entered into an amendment to its original licensing agreement with Azur pursuant to which BioSante received $3.16 million in non-refundable payments in exchange for the elimination of all remaining future royalty payments and certain milestone payments that could have been paid to BioSante related to sales of Elestrin. BioSante maintains the right to receive up to $140 million in sales-based milestone payments from Meda if Elestrin reaches certain predefined sales per calendar year; although, based on current sales levels, BioSante believes its receipt of such payments unlikely in the near term, if at all.

        BioSante's male testosterone gel is its second FDA approved product. This product was developed initially by BioSante, and then licensed by BioSante to Teva for late stage clinical development. Teva submitted an NDA to the FDA in the beginning of 2011, which was approved by the FDA in February 2012. Subsequent to Teva submitting the NDA, in April 2011, AbbVie Inc., a marketer of a testosterone gel for men, filed a complaint against Teva alleging patent infringement. This litigation was settled in December 2011; however, the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential and have not been disclosed publicly. No launch date for this product has been announced by Teva.

        On January 31, 2013, BioSante entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aduro BioTech, Inc. pursuant to which BioSante sold all of its assets related to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio on a worldwide basis in exchange for a $1.0 million cash payment plus the potential for future royalty, milestone and sublicense payments. The royalty rate payable by Aduro to BioSante on net sales of GVAX products is two percent of net sales for the longer of: (1) the remaining life on any applicable GVAX patent; or (2) the seventh anniversary of the first commercial sale of each GVAX product. A $2.0 million milestone payment will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of $10.0 million in net sales of GVAX-pancreas products and a $2.0 million milestone payment will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of $10.0 million in net sales of GVAX-prostate products, with a maximum amount payable of $50.0 million for each category of products. Additional launch and sales-based milestone payments will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of certain specified net sales of other GVAX containing products, other than products to treat pancreas or prostate cancer. The maximum amount payable by Aduro to BioSante under the agreement for royalties and milestone payments is $162.0 million. BioSante also is entitled to receive 50 percent of all amounts received by Aduro from milestone and royalty payments from The John P. Hussman Foundation related to melanoma, net of related costs borne by Aduro.

Description of BioSante's Female Sexual Health, Menopause, Contraception and Male Hypogonadism Products

        Overview.     BioSante's products for female sexual health, menopause, contraception and male hypogonadism include its gel formulations of estradiol or testosterone and combinations of estrogen, progestogen and androgen.

        BioSante's gel products are designed to be absorbed quickly through the skin after application on the upper arm for the women's products, delivering the active component to the bloodstream evenly and in a non-invasive, painless manner. The gels are formulated to be applied once per day and to be absorbed into the skin without a trace of residue and to dry in under one to two minutes. BioSante believes its gel products have a number of benefits over competitive products, including the following:

    BioSante's transdermal gels can be spread over areas of skin where they dry rapidly and decrease the chance for skin irritation versus transdermal patches;

    BioSante's transdermal gels have been shown to be well absorbed, thus allowing effective therapeutic levels to reach the systemic circulation;

    transdermal gels may allow for better dose adjustment than either transdermal patches or oral tablets or capsules; and

    transdermal gels may be more appealing to patients since they are less conspicuous than transdermal patches, which may be aesthetically unattractive.

        BioSante licenses the technology underlying LibiGel and Elestrin, but not its male testosterone gel, from Antares Pharma, Inc. (Antares). BioSante's male testosterone gel was developed initially by BioSante and licensed to Teva. BioSante licenses the technology underlying The Pill Plus from Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

        LibiGel.     BioSante's lead product in development is LibiGel, a once daily transdermal testosterone gel designed to treat FSD, specifically HSDD in postmenopausal women.

        Although generally thought of as being limited to men, testosterone also is important to women and its deficiency has been found to cause low libido or sex drive. Studies have shown that testosterone therapy in women can boost sexual desire, sexual activity and pleasure, increase bone density, raise energy levels and improve mood. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association , 43 percent of American women between the ages of 18 to 59, or about 40 million women,

166


Table of Contents

experience some degree of impaired sexual function. Among the more than 1,400 women surveyed, 32 percent lacked interest in sex (low sexual desire). Furthermore, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine , 43 percent of American women between the ages of 57 to 85 experience low sexual desire. Importantly, according to IMS data, approximately two million testosterone prescriptions were written off-label for women in the U.S. in 2010. In addition, according to independent primary market research, approximately two million additional prescriptions of compounded testosterone were written for women in the U.S. in 2010. Female sexual dysfunction is defined as a consistent lack of sexual desire, arousal or pleasure. The majority of women with FSD are postmenopausal, experiencing symptoms due to hormonal changes that occur with aging or following surgical menopause.

        Although treatment with LibiGel in BioSante's Phase II clinical trial significantly increased satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD, the Phase III efficacy trials did not meet the co-primary endpoints of increase in satisfying sexual events or increase in sexual desire or the secondary endpoint of decrease in sexual distress. The Phase II trial results showed LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events by 238 percent versus baseline; this increase also was significant versus placebo. In this trial, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel. The Phase II clinical trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.

        The Phase III safety and efficacy trials were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trials of a total of 1,172 menopausal women, exposed to LibiGel or placebo for six months. Subjects in the first trial, called BLOOM-1, who were treated with LibiGel showed an increase of 1.47 days with a satisfying sexual event compared to baseline, while those receiving placebo gel showed an increase of 1.26 days with a satisfying sexual event compared to baseline. The difference between these increases demonstrated a p value of 0.463. (The smaller the p value, the stronger the statistical significance. A p-value of .05 or less is typically used to represent statistical significance of trial results.) In BLOOM 1, there was an increase in the total number of satisfying sexual events of 3.87 from baseline (an increase of 83 percent) in the LibiGel group and in the placebo group there was an increase of 3.52 satisfying sexual events from baseline (an increase of 65 percent) for a p value of 0.698. Subjects in BLOOM-2 who were treated with LibiGel showed an increase of 1.0 day with a satisfying sexual event compared to baseline, while those receiving placebo gel showed an increase of 1.28 days with a satisfying sexual event compared to baseline. The difference between these increases demonstrated a p value of 0.214. Subjects in BLOOM-1 showed an increase in mean sexual desire of 0.03 over placebo, a p value of 0.672, while subjects in BLOOM-2 demonstrated an increase in mean sexual desire of 0.03 compared to placebo, a p value of 0.48. Subjects in both trials demonstrated a decrease in sexual distress when treated with LibiGel (p=0.569 and p=0.26) compared to baseline.

        As seen in previous pharmacokinetic data, the LibiGel groups in both Phase III efficacy trials showed an increase in free testosterone levels compared to baseline and placebo. In BLOOM-1, mean free testosterone at baseline was approximately 1.19 picograms per milliliter (pg/ml) and 1.10 pg/ml in the placebo and LibiGel groups, respectively. In month six of the trial, free testosterone levels were approximately 1.35 pg/ml and 4.01 pg/ml in the placebo and LibiGel groups, respectively. In BLOOM-2, mean free testosterone at baseline was approximately 1.06 pg/ml and 1.19 pg/ml in the placebo and LibiGel group, respectively. In month six of the trial, free testosterone levels were approximately 1.09 pg/ml and 3.70 pg/ml in the placebo and LibiGel groups, respectively.

        Results of the two Phase III efficacy trials were announced on December 14, 2011. Subsequently, BioSante continued to analyze the data from the Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, consulted with key opinion leaders in female sexual dysfunction, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, and met with

167


Table of Contents

representatives of the FDA. As a result of this process, in June 2012, BioSante announced a plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials.

        In September 2012, BioSante announced that the independent DMC completed its ninth unblinded review of the LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study and recommended that the LibiGel safety study should continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modifications. At the time of the DMC review, there were 53 adjudicated CV events, with a lower than anticipated event rate of approximately 0.72 percent. In the same population of subjects, there were 27 breast cancers reported, a rate of approximately 0.37 percent, which is in line with the expected rate based on the ages of the subjects enrolled in the study. Given this latest review during which no specific or general safety issues were raised, and after extensive consideration, BioSante announced in September 2012 the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study effective immediately. Prior to the initiation of the LibiGel safety study in 2008, the FDA had advised BioSante that subjects in the safety study were required to have a minimum average exposure in the safety study of 12 months prior to submitting a LibiGel new drug application, and prior to a potential FDA approval of LibiGel. As of the date of the conclusion of the safety study, subjects had been in the study for an average time of 24.8 months; more than 3,200 subjects had been in the study for more than one year and over 1,850 subjects had been enrolled for more than two years. With this ninth positive unblinded review of the study by the DMC, and over 7,400 women-years of exposure, BioSante believes that adequate safety data of LibiGel use in menopausal women has been obtained. BioSante remains blinded as to whether the CV events and breast cancers are experienced by subjects in the LibiGel arm or the placebo arm of the study.

        BioSante is continuing to develop a protocol for new LibiGel efficacy trials and will seek an FDA Special Protocol Assessment agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials.

        Male Testosterone Gel.     BioSante's once daily transdermal testosterone gel indicated for the treatment of hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency, in men is BioSante's second FDA approved product.

        Testosterone deficiency in men is known as hypogonadism. Low levels of testosterone may result in lethargy, depression, decreased sex drive, impotence, low sperm count and increased irritability. Men with severe and prolonged reduction of testosterone also may experience loss of body hair, reduced muscle mass, osteoporosis and bone fractures due to osteoporosis. Testosterone therapy has been shown to restore levels of testosterone with minimal side effects.

        There are currently several products on the market for the treatment of low testosterone levels in men. As opposed to estrogen therapy products, oral administration of testosterone is currently not possible as the hormone is, for the most part, rendered inactive in the liver making it difficult to achieve adequate levels of the compound in the bloodstream. Current methods of administration include testosterone injections, patches and gels. Testosterone injections require large needles, are often painful and not effective for maintaining adequate testosterone blood levels throughout the day. Delivery of testosterone through transdermal patches was developed primarily to promote the therapeutic effects of testosterone therapy without the often painful side effects associated with testosterone injections. Transdermal patches, however, similar to estrogen patches, have a physical presence, can fall off and can result in skin irritation. Testosterone gel formulated products for men are designed to deliver testosterone without the pain of injections and the physical presence, skin irritation and discomfort associated with transdermal patches. BioSante is aware of four gel testosterone products for men currently on the market in the United States.

        Unlike LibiGel and Elestrin, BioSante's male testosterone gel was developed initially by BioSante and therefore BioSante has no royalty or milestone obligations to any other party. BioSante's male testosterone gel is subject to a development and license agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Under the development

168


Table of Contents

and license agreement, Teva has agreed to market the male testosterone gel for the U.S. market and is responsible for any and all manufacturing and marketing associated with the product. The financial terms of the development and license agreement included a $1.5 million upfront payment by Teva, which was paid to BioSante in December 2002, and an obligation by Teva to pay BioSante certain milestones and royalties on sales of the product in exchange for rights to develop and market the product, as described in more detail below. The term of the development and license agreement will expire 10 years from the date on which Teva makes its first commercial sale of the male testosterone gel to an unrelated third party in an arms-length transaction in the United States. The parties may terminate the development and license agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a material breach of the agreement by the other party. BioSante may terminate the agreement if Teva files a petition in bankruptcy, enters into an arrangement with its creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee is appointed or if Teva suffers or permits the entry of an order adjudicating it to be bankrupt or insolvent. Teva may terminate the agreement if Teva determines that the continued development and/or marketing of the male testosterone gel is no longer commercially viable.

        In October 2012, BioSante and Teva entered into an amendment to the development and license pursuant to which Teva made a non-refundable $1.0 million payment to BioSante upon the signing of the amendment and a non-refundable $750,000 payment in December 2012. Teva also agreed to make the following milestone based payments to BioSante: (1) $500,000 if the FDA authorizes marketing of the licensed male testosterone gel as an "AB-rated" equivalent to AndroGel®; (2) $500,000 upon the earlier to occur of (a) December 31, 2013 and (b) five business days after Teva's commencement of commercial manufacture of the licensed product for sale in the United States. In addition, Teva has agreed to pay BioSante $4.0 million in the event Teva is the sole marketer in the United States of a generic 1% testosterone gel AB-rated to AndroGel® for at least 180 days immediately following the launch date of the licensed product in the United States. The royalty rate to be paid by Teva to BioSante under the agreement is five percent of net sales; provided, however, that during the period of time that Teva markets the licensed product and is the sole marketer of a generic 1% testosterone gel that is AB-rated to AndroGel® in the United States, the royalty rate will be seven and one half percent of net sales. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the October 2012 amendment, the parties agreed to release each other from certain liabilities.

        Teva submitted an NDA to the FDA in the beginning of 2011, which was approved by the FDA in February 2012. Subsequent to Teva submitting the NDA, in April 2011, a subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories (now known as AbbVie Inc.), a marketer of a testosterone gel for men, filed a complaint against Teva alleging patent infringement. This litigation was settled in December 2011; however, the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential and have not been disclosed publicly. No launch date for this product has been announced by Teva.

        The Pill-Plus.     The Pill-Plus is based on three issued U.S. patents claiming triple component therapy via any route of administration (the combination use of estrogen plus progestogen plus androgen, e.g. testosterone). The Pill-Plus adds a third component, an androgen, to the normal two component (estrogen and progestogen) oral contraceptive to prevent testosterone deficiency which can result from the estrogen and progestogen components and which often leads to a decrease in sexual desire, sexual activity and mood changes. In a completed Phase II double-blind randomized clinical trial, the addition of an oral androgen resulted in restoration of testosterone levels to the normal and physiological range for healthy women. Paradoxically, many women who use oral contraceptives have reduced sexual desire, arousability and activity due to the estrogen and progestogen in normal oral contraceptives. The Pill-Plus is designed to avoid or to improve the symptoms of female sexual dysfunction in oral contraceptive users.

        BioSante has a fully paid-up right and exclusive license from Wake Forest University Health Sciences (formerly known as Wake Forest University) and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the three issued U.S. patents for triple component contraception. The Pill-Plus is subject to a sublicense agreement with Pantarhei Bioscience B.V. (Pantarhei), a Netherlands-based pharmaceutical company. Pantarhei is responsible under the agreement for all expenses to develop and market the product. BioSante may receive certain development and regulatory milestones for the first product developed under the license. In addition, BioSante will receive royalty payments on any sales of the product in the U.S., if and when approved and marketed. If the product is sublicensed by Pantarhei to another company, BioSante will receive a percentage of any and all payments received by Pantarhei for the sublicense from a third party. BioSante has retained all rights under its licensed patents to the transdermal delivery of triple component contraceptives.

        Elestrin.     Elestrin is BioSante's first FDA approved product. Elestrin is a once daily transdermal gel that delivers estrogen without the skin irritation associated with, and the physical presence of, transdermal patches, and to avoid the effects of oral estrogen. Elestrin contains estradiol versus conjugated equine estrogen contained in the most commonly prescribed oral estrogen.

        Elestrin is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) associated with menopause. Elestrin is administered using a metered dose applicator. Two doses of Elestrin were approved by the FDA.

        Meda is marketing Elestrin in the U.S. In December 2009, BioSante entered into an amendment to its original licensing agreement with Azur (which was acquired by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which subsequently sold its women's health business to Meda) pursuant to which BioSante received $3.16 million in non-refundable payments in exchange for the elimination of all remaining future royalty payments and certain milestone payments that could have been paid to BioSante related to sales of Elestrin. BioSante maintains the right to receive up to $140 million in sales-based milestone payments from Meda if Elestrin reaches certain predefined sales per calendar year, although based on current sales levels, BioSante believes its receipt of such payments unlikely in the near term, if at all.

        Elestrin also is subject to an exclusive agreement with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (which acquired PharmaSwiss SA) for the marketing of Elestrin in Israel. Valeant Pharmaceuticals will be responsible for regulatory and marketing activities in Israel. Israeli authorities have approved Elestrin, but the product has not been launched.

        Other Products.     Marketing rights to BioSante's gel products in Canada are subject to an agreement with Paladin Labs Inc. In exchange for the sublicense, Paladin agreed to make an initial investment in BioSante, make future milestone payments and pay royalties on sales of the products in Canada. The milestone payments are required to be in the form of a series of equity investments by Paladin in BioSante common stock at a 10 percent premium to the market price of its stock at the time the equity investment is made. No recent investments have been made and none are expected in the foreseeable future.

        Oncolytic Virus Technology.     In November 2010, BioSante entered into an assignment and technology transfer agreement with Cold Genesys, Inc. pursuant to which BioSante sold to Cold Genesys exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize its oncolytic virus technology. The oncolytic virus technology uses replication-competent adenoviruses derived from Adenovirus type 5, a common "cold" virus that replicate in and selectively kill tumor cells. The replication of the virus is controlled by replacing the promoter of a gene required for replication with a promoter that is preferentially expressed only in tumor cells. Furthermore, the virus may optionally include a gene encoding a cytokine, which enhances immune stimulation to the tumor, thereby providing a dual mechanism of action for killing targeted cancer cells by direct cell lysis as well as via cellular and humoral immune responses to the tumor. The oncolytic virus technology includes CG0070, a

170

replication-competent adenovirus that has completed a Phase I clinical trial for treatment of superficial bladder cancer. In exchange for the technology, BioSante received an initial 19.9 percent ownership position in Cold Genesys and a $95,000 upfront cash payment and is eligible to receive future milestone and royalty payments.


Sales and Marketing

        BioSante currently has no sales and marketing personnel to sell any of its products on a commercial basis. Under BioSante's license agreements, its licensees have agreed to market the products covered by the agreements in certain countries. For example, under BioSante's license agreement with Meda, Meda has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture, market, sell and distribute Elestrin for commercial sale and distribution throughout the United States, and under BioSante's agreement with Teva, Teva has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to market its male testosterone gel in the United States. If and when BioSante is ready to launch commercially a product not covered by its license agreements, BioSante will either contract with or hire qualified sales and marketing personnel or seek a joint marketing partner or licensee to assist BioSante with this function.


Research and Product Development

        BioSante historically has spent a significant amount of its financial resources on product development activities, with the largest portion being spent on clinical studies for LibiGel. BioSante spent approximately $16.9 million in 2012, $44.2 million in 2011 and $39.7 million in 2010 on research and product development activities. BioSante anticipates that its research and development expenses for 2013 will consist primarily of expenses associated with the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer study and the planning for the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. If BioSante's pending merger with ANI is completed, BioSante anticipates that is research and development expense for 2013 also will consist of expenses associated with ANI's targeted areas of product development including narcotics, anti-cancers and hormones (potent compounds) and extended release niche generic prescription product opportunities.


Manufacturing

        BioSante does not have any facilities suitable for manufacturing on a commercial scale basis any of its products nor does it have any experience in volume manufacturing. BioSante currently uses third-party current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), manufacturers to manufacture its products in development in accordance with FDA and other appropriate regulations.


Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights

        BioSante's success depends and will continue to depend in part upon its ability to maintain its exclusive licenses, to obtain and maintain patent protection for its products and processes, to preserve its proprietary information, trademarks and trade secrets and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. BioSante's policy is to attempt to protect its technology by, among other things, filing patent applications or obtaining license rights for technology that BioSante considers important to the development of its business.

        License Agreements.     BioSante licensed the technology underlying LibiGel and Elestrin, but not its male testosterone gel, from Antares Pharma, Inc. Under the agreement, Antares granted BioSante an exclusive license to certain patents and patent applications covering these gel products, including rights to sublicense, in order to develop and market the products in certain territories, including the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, Mexico, China (including Hong Kong) and Indonesia. BioSante is the exclusive licensee in certain territories for issued U.S. patents for these products and

171


Table of Contents

additional patent applications have been filed for this licensed technology in the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions. Under the agreement, BioSante is required to pay Antares certain development and regulatory milestone payments and royalties based on net sales of any products BioSante or its sub-licensees sell incorporating the in-licensed technology. Specifically, BioSante is obligated to pay Antares 25 percent of all upfront and milestone payments related to a license and a 4.5 percent royalty on net sales of product by BioSante or a licensee.

        BioSante and Antares may terminate the license agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a material breach of the agreement by the other party or if the other party goes into liquidation or bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver is appointed. Antares may terminate the agreement with respect to certain products or territories if BioSante does not continue development, seeking regulatory approval or marketing of such products in the covered territories. BioSante may terminate the agreement with respect to certain products or territories if, for technical, scientific or regulatory reasons, it is not likely that the product will gain required regulatory approvals in a territory, if regulatory approvals in a territory are not obtained or if BioSante determines that it is not economically viable to continue development or marketing of a product in a territory.

        The patents covering the formulations used in these gel products are expected to expire in 2022, although with respect to LibiGel, a new U.S. patent covering the "method of use" of LibiGel for treating FSD and HSDD was issued, which will expire in December 2028. In addition, BioSante has other patents pending, which, if issued, may expire later than 2028. BioSante's male testosterone gel was developed initially by BioSante and not covered under the Antares license.

        BioSante has a fully-paid up right and exclusive license to the technology underlying its triple component contraceptives, or The Pill Plus, from Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

        Trademarks and Trademark Applications/Registrations.     BioSante owns trademark registrations in the U.S. and/or in certain foreign jurisdictions for several marks, including BIOSANTE® and LIBIGEL®. In addition, BioSante has filed trademark applications for several other marks including ELESTRIN™ (pursuant to a license agreement regarding Elestrin, the Elestrin trademark in the U.S. is now owned by Meda). In addition, BioSante owns common law rights to several trademarks, including BIOSANTE®, LIBIGEL®, THE PILL-PLUS™ and ELESTRIN™. For those trademarks for which registration has been sought, registrations have issued for some of those trademarks in certain jurisdictions and others currently are in the application/prosecution phase.

        Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreements.     BioSante requires its employees, consultants and advisors having access to its confidential information to execute confidentiality agreements upon commencement of their employment or consulting relationships with BioSante. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information BioSante develops or makes known to the individual during the course of the individual's employment or consulting relationship with BioSante must be kept confidential by the individual and not disclosed to any third parties. BioSante also requires all of its employees and consultants who perform research and development for BioSante to execute agreements that generally provide that all inventions and works-for-hire conceived by these individuals during their employment by BioSante will be BioSante's property.


Competition

        There is intense competition in the biopharmaceutical industry. Potential competitors in the United States are numerous and include major pharmaceutical and specialized biotechnology companies, universities and other institutions. In general, competition in the pharmaceutical industry can be divided into four categories: (1) corporations with large research and developmental departments that develop and market products in many therapeutic areas; (2) companies that have moderate research

172


Table of Contents

and development capabilities and focus their product strategy on a small number of therapeutic areas; (3) small companies with limited development capabilities and only a few product offerings; and (4) university and other research institutions. Many of BioSante's competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, substantially greater financial resources and larger research and development staffs than BioSante does, as well as substantially greater experience than BioSante in developing products, obtaining regulatory approvals, and manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. A significant amount of research is carried out at academic and government institutions. These institutions are aware of the commercial value of their findings and are aggressive in pursuing patent protection and negotiating licensing arrangements to collect royalties for use of technology that they have developed.

        There are several firms currently marketing or developing products that may be competitive with BioSante's gel products. They include Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc., Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a subsidiary of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.), Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ascend Therapeutics, Inc., Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and AbbVie Inc. Competitor products include oral tablets, transdermal patches, a spray and gels. BioSante expects its FDA-approved products, Elestrin and its male testosterone gel, and its other products, if and when approved for sale, to compete primarily on the basis of product efficacy, safety, patient convenience, reliability and patent position and potentially on cost. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic or preventative area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants in the market and may result in certain marketing exclusivity as per federal legislation. Acceptance by physicians and other health care providers, including managed care groups, also is critical to the success of a product versus competitor products.


Governmental Regulation

        Pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local agencies in countries in which they do business. Pharmaceutical products intended for therapeutic use in humans are governed by extensive FDA regulations in the United States and by comparable regulations in foreign countries. Any products developed by BioSante will require FDA approvals in the United States and comparable approvals in foreign markets before they can be marketed.

        The U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern or influence, among other things, the development, testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, import, export and distribution of pharmaceutical products in the United States. Pharmaceutical manufacturers also are subject to certain record-keeping and reporting requirements, establishment registration and product listing, and FDA inspections.

        Manufacturers of controlled substances also must comply with the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA) and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as well as similar state and local regulatory requirements for manufacturing, distributing, testing, importing, exporting and handling controlled substances.

        Noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can have a broad range of consequences, including warning letters, fines, seizure of products, product recalls, total or partial suspension of production and distribution, refusal to approve NDAs or other applications or revocation of approvals previously granted, withdrawal of product from marketing, injunction, withdrawal of licenses or registrations necessary to conduct business, disqualification from supply contracts with the government, and criminal prosecution.

        Product development and approval within the FDA regulatory framework take a number of years, involve the expenditure of substantial resources, and are uncertain. Many products ultimately do not reach the market because they are not found to be safe or effective or cannot meet the FDA's other

173


Table of Contents

regulatory requirements. After a product is approved, the FDA may revoke or suspend the product approval if compliance with post-market regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the marketplace. In addition, the FDA may require post-marketing studies to monitor the effect of approved products, and may limit further marketing of the product based on the results of these post-market studies or evidence of safety concerns. Further, the current regulatory framework may change and additional regulatory or approval requirements may arise at any stage of BioSante's product development that may affect approval, delay the submission or review of an application or require additional expenditures by BioSante. BioSante may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals on a timely basis, if at all, for any of its products under development. Delays in receipt or failure to receive such clearances or approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, or failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on BioSante's business.

        New Product Development and Approval.     All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, product testing, manufacturing processes, manufacturing facilities, packaging, labeling, quality control, and evidence of safety and effectiveness for intended uses. For a generic drug product, instead of safety and effectiveness data, an application must demonstrate that the proposed product is the same as the branded drug in several key characteristics. There are two types of applications used for obtaining FDA approval of new non-biological drug products, other than a generic product:

    An NDA, sometimes referred to as a "full NDA," generally is submitted when approval is sought to market a drug with active ingredients that have not been previously approved by the FDA. Full NDAs typically are submitted for newly developed branded products and, in certain instances, an applicant submits an NDA or NDA supplement for a change to one of its previously approved products, such as a new dosage form, a new delivery system or a new indication.

    Another form of an NDA is the "505(b)(2) NDA," which typically is used to seek FDA approval of products that share characteristics (often, the active ingredient(s)) with a previously approved product of another company, but contain modifications to, or differences from, the approved product that preclude submission of an abbreviated new drug application. A 505(b)(2) NDA is required where at least some of the information required for approval does not come from studies conducted by or for the applicant or for which the applicant has obtained a right of reference. Usually, this means the application relies on the FDA's previous approval of a similar product or reference listed drug, or published data in scientific literature that are not the applicant's.

        The process by which a product, other than a generic product, is approved for marketing in the United States can take from three to more than 10 years, and generally involves the following:

    laboratory and preclinical tests;

    submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which must become effective before clinical studies may begin;

    adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed product for its intended use;

    submission of a full NDA or 505(b)(2) NDA containing, to the extent required, the results of the preclinical tests and clinical studies establishing the safety and efficacy of the proposed product for its intended use, as well as extensive data addressing matters such as manufacturing and quality assurance;

    scale-up to commercial manufacturing;

174


Table of Contents

    satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities; and

    FDA approval of the application.

        To the extent that a 505(b)(2) NDA applicant can rely on a previously approved application or published literature, it may not be required to conduct some or all laboratory and preclinical tests or human clinical studies.

        Pre-Clinical Studies and Clinical Trials.     Typically, preclinical studies are conducted in the laboratory and in animals to gain preliminary information on a product's uses and physiological effects and harmful effects, if any, and to identify any potential safety problems that would preclude testing in humans. The results of these studies, together with the general investigative plan, protocols for specific human studies and other information, are submitted to the FDA as part of the IND application. The FDA regulations do not, by their terms, require FDA approval of an IND. Rather, they allow a clinical investigation to commence if the FDA does not notify the sponsor to the contrary within 30 days of receipt of the IND. As a practical matter, however, FDA approval is often sought before a company commences clinical investigations. That approval may come within 30 days of IND receipt but may involve substantial delays if the FDA requests additional information. BioSante's submission of an IND, or those of its collaboration partners, may not result in FDA authorization to commence a clinical trial.

        A separate submission to an existing IND also must be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product development. Depending on its significance, the FDA also must approve changes to an existing IND. Further, an independent institutional review board (IRB) for each medical center proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center and it must monitor the study until completed. Alternatively, a central IRB may be used instead of individual IRBs. The FDA, the IRB or the sponsor may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Clinical testing also must satisfy extensive Good Clinical Practice requirements and regulations for informed consent.

        The sponsor of a drug product typically conducts human clinical trials in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap or not all phases may be necessary. The initial phase of clinical testing, which is known as Phase I, is conducted to evaluate the metabolism, uses and physiological effects of the experimental product in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence of possible effectiveness. Phase I studies can also evaluate various routes, dosages and schedules of product administration. These studies generally involve a small number of healthy volunteer subjects, but may be conducted in people with the disease the product is intended to treat. The total number of subjects is generally in the range of 20 to 80. A demonstration of therapeutic benefit is not required in order to complete Phase I trials successfully. If acceptable product safety is demonstrated, Phase II trials may be initiated.

        Phase II trials are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the product in the treatment of a given disease and involve people with the disease under study. These trials often are well controlled, closely monitored studies involving a relatively small number of subjects, usually no more than several hundred. The optimal routes, dosages and schedules of administration are determined in these studies. If Phase II trials are completed successfully, Phase III trials are often commenced, although Phase III trials are not always required.

        Phase III trials are expanded, controlled trials that are performed after preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the experimental product has been obtained. These trials are intended to gather the additional information about safety and effectiveness that is needed to evaluate the overall risk/benefit relationship of the experimental product and provide the substantial evidence of effectiveness and the evidence of safety necessary for product approval. Phase III trials are usually conducted with several hundred to several thousand subjects.

175


Table of Contents

        A clinical trial may combine the elements of more than one phase and typically two or more Phase III studies are required. A company's designation of a clinical trial as being of a particular phase is not necessarily indicative that the trial will be sufficient to satisfy the FDA requirements of that phase because this determination cannot be made until the protocol and data have been submitted to and reviewed by the FDA. In addition, a clinical trial may contain elements of more than one phase notwithstanding the designation of the trial as being of a particular phase. The FDA closely monitors the progress of the phases of clinical testing and may, at its discretion, re-evaluate, alter, suspend or terminate the testing based on the data accumulated and its assessment of the risk/benefit ratio to patients. It is not possible to estimate with any certainty the time required to complete Phase I, II and III studies with respect to a given product.

        Success in early-stage clinical trials does not necessarily assure success in later-stage clinical trials. Data obtained from clinical activities are not always conclusive and may be subject to alternative interpretations that could delay, limit or even prevent regulatory approval. Regulations require the posting of certain details about active clinical trials on government (i.e., www.clinicaltrials.gov) or independent websites, and subsequently a limited posting of the results of those trials. This helps prospective patients find out about trials they may wish to enroll in, but also provides some competitive intelligence to other companies working in the field. Failure to post the trial or its results in a timely manner can result in civil penalties and the rejection of the drug application.

        New Drug Applications.     The results of the product development, including preclinical studies, clinical studies, and product formulation and manufacturing information, are then submitted to the FDA as part of the NDA.

        The FDA reviews each submitted application before accepting it for filing, and may refuse to file the application if it does not appear to meet the minimal standards for filing. If the FDA refuses to file an application and requests additional information, the application must be resubmitted with the requested information. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the application to determine, among other things, whether a product is safe and effective for its intended use. As part of this review, the FDA may refer the application to an appropriate FDA-advisory committee of outside experts, typically a panel of clinicians, for review, evaluation and a recommendation. Under the policies agreed to by the FDA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the FDA has 10 months in which to complete its initial review of a standard NDA and respond to the applicant. The review process and the PDUFA goal date may be extended by three months if the FDA requests or the NDA sponsor otherwise provides additional information or clarification regarding information already provided in the submission within the last three months of the PDUFA goal date. Following its review of an NDA, the FDA invariably raises questions or requests additional information. The NDA approval process can, accordingly, be very lengthy, and there is no assurance that the FDA will ultimately approve an NDA.

        Acceptance for filing of an application does not assure FDA approval for marketing. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may disagree with an applicant's interpretation of the submitted data, which could delay, limit, or prevent regulatory approval. If it concludes that the application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval, the FDA typically issues a "complete response" letter communicating the agency's decision not to approve the application and outlining the deficiencies in the submission. The complete response letter may request additional information, including additional preclinical testing or clinical trials. Even if such information and data are submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval.

        If the FDA approves the application, the agency may require post-marketing studies, also known as Phase IV studies, as a condition to approval. These studies may involve continued testing of a product and development of data, including clinical data, about the product's effects in various populations and

176


Table of Contents

any side effects associated with long-term use. After approval, the FDA also may require post-marketing studies or clinical trials if new safety information develops.

        The FDA also may conclude that as part of the NDA or the 505(b)(2) NDA, the sponsor must develop a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks. A REMS may have different components, including a package insert directed to patients, a plan for communication with healthcare providers, restrictions on a drug's distribution, or a medication guide to provide better information to consumers about the drug's risks and benefits.

        Special Protocol Assessments (SPA).     The special protocol assessment process generally involves FDA evaluation of a proposed Phase III clinical trial protocol and a commitment from the FDA that the design and analysis of the trial are adequate to support approval of an NDA, if the trial is performed according to the SPA and meets its endpoints. The FDA's guidance on the SPA process indicates that SPAs are designed to evaluate individual clinical trial protocols primarily in response to specific questions posed by the sponsors. In practice, the sponsor of a product candidate may request an SPA for proposed Phase III trial objectives, designs, clinical endpoints and analyses. A request for an SPA is submitted in the form of a separate amendment to an IND, and the FDA's evaluation generally will be completed within a 45-day review period under applicable PDUFA goals, provided that the trials have been the subject of discussion at an end-of-Phase II and pre-Phase III meeting with the FDA, or in other limited cases.

        If an agreement is reached, the FDA will reduce the agreement to writing and make it part of the administrative record. While the FDA's guidance on SPAs states that documented SPAs should be considered binding on the review division, the FDA has the latitude to change its assessment if certain exceptions apply. Exceptions include identification of a substantial scientific issue essential to safety or efficacy testing that later comes to light, a sponsor's failure to follow the protocol agreed upon, or the FDA's reliance on data, assumptions or information that are determined to be wrong.

        The Hatch-Waxman Act.     The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, known as the Hatch-Waxman Act (Hatch-Waxman), established an abbreviated process for obtaining FDA approval for generic versions of approved branded drug products. In addition to establishing a shorter, less expensive pathway for approval of generic drugs, Hatch-Waxman provides incentives for the development of new branded products and innovations to approved products by means of marketing exclusivities and extension of patent rights. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, newly-approved drugs and new conditions of use may benefit from a statutory period of non-patent marketing exclusivity. The Hatch-Waxman Act provides five years of marketing exclusivity if the product's active ingredient is a new chemical entity not previously approved. The Hatch-Waxman Act provides three years of marketing exclusivity for the approval of new and supplemental NDAs for, among other things, new indications, dosages or strengths of a drug containing a previously approved active ingredient, if new clinical investigations that were conducted or sponsored by the applicant are essential to the approval of the application. This three-year marketing exclusivity period protects against the approval of abbreviated new drug applications and 505(b)(2) NDAs for the innovation that required clinical data; it does not prohibit the FDA from accepting or approving abbreviated new drug application or 505(b)(2) applications for other products containing the same active ingredient. The five- and three-year marketing exclusivity periods apply equally to patented and non-patented drug products. It is under this provision that BioSante received three years marketing exclusivity for Elestrin. .

        Orphan Drug Exclusivity.     The Orphan Drug Act was enacted by Congress to provide financial incentives for the development of drugs for rare conditions (affecting less than 200,000 individuals per year) in the United States. The orphan designation is granted for a combination of a drug entity and an indication and therefore it can be granted for an existing drug with a new (orphan) indication. Applications are made to the Office of Orphan Products Development at the FDA and a decision or request for more information is rendered in 60 days. NDAs for designated orphan drugs may be

177


Table of Contents

exempt from application fees, obtain additional clinical protocol assistance, are eligible for tax credits up to 50 percent of research and development costs, and are granted a seven-year period of exclusivity upon approval. The FDA cannot approve the same drug for the same condition during this period of exclusivity, except in certain circumstances where a new product demonstrates superiority to the original treatment.

        Other Regulatory Requirements.     Regulations continue to apply to pharmaceutical products after FDA approval occurs. Post-marketing safety surveillance is required in order to continue to market an approved product. The FDA also may, in its discretion, require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the effects of approved products or place conditions on any approvals that could restrict the commercial applications of these products.

        All facilities and manufacturing techniques used to manufacture products for clinical use or sale in the United States must be operated in conformity with "current good manufacturing practice" regulations, commonly referred to as "cGMP" regulations, which govern the production of pharmaceutical products. BioSante currently does not have any manufacturing capability.

        The FDA regulates and monitors all promotion advertising and of prescription drugs after approval. All promotion must be consistent with the conditions of approval and submitted to the agency. Failure to adhere to FDA promotional requirements can result in enforcement letters, warning letters, changes to existing promotional material, and corrective notices to healthcare professionals. Promotion of a prescription drug for uses not approved by the FDA can have serious consequences and result in lawsuits by private parties, state governments and the federal government, significant civil and criminal penalties, and compliance agreements that require the company to change current practices and prevent unlawful activity in the future.

        U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.     The DEA regulates certain drug products containing controlled substances, such as testosterone, pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. The CSA and DEA regulations impose specific requirements on manufacturers and other entities that handle these substances including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, storage, security and distribution. Recordkeeping requirements include accounting for the amount of product received, manufactured, stored and distributed. Companies handling controlled substances also are required to maintain adequate security and to report suspicious orders, thefts and significant losses. The DEA periodically inspects facilities for compliance with the CSA and its regulations. Failure to comply with current and future regulations of the DEA could lead to a variety of sanctions, including revocation or denial of renewal of DEA registrations, injunctions, or civil or criminal penalties.

        Foreign Regulation.     Products marketed outside of the United States are subject to regulatory approval requirements similar to those in the United States, although the requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country. No action can be taken to market any product in a country until an appropriate application has been approved by the regulatory authorities in that country. The current approval process varies from country to country, and the time spent in gaining approval varies from that required for FDA approval. In certain European and other countries (i.e., Canada, Australia and Japan), the sales price of a product also must be approved. The pricing review period often begins after market approval is granted. BioSante intends to seek and utilize foreign partners to apply for foreign approvals of its products.


Employees

        As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had 23 employees, including 12 in product development and 11 in management or administrative positions. As of April 15, 2013, BioSante had six employees, including one in product development and five in management or administrative positions. BioSante

178

also relies on and engages independent contractors from time to time on an as needed, project by project, basis. None of BioSante's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.


Properties

        BioSante's principal executive office is located in a leased facility in Lincolnshire, Illinois, where BioSante leases approximately 20,000 square feet of office space for approximately $20,000 per month. BioSante's lease for this space expires in February 2014. Management of BioSante considers its leased properties suitable and adequate for its current and foreseeable needs.


Legal Proceedings

        On February 3, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Thomas Lauria, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Stephen M. Simes naming BioSante and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Simes, as defendants. The complaint alleges that certain of BioSante's disclosures relating to the efficacy of LibiGel and its commercial potential were false and/or misleading and that such false and/or misleading statements had the effect of artificially inflating the price of BioSante's securities resulting in violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Although a substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on February 21, 2012, such complaint was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in April 2012. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of persons who purchased BioSante's securities between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and reasonable costs, expert fees and attorneys' fees on behalf of such purchasers. BioSante believes the action is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. On November 6, 2012, the plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. On December 28, 2012, BioSante and Mr. Simes filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is complete and the parties await the Court's ruling.

        On May 7, 2012, Jerome W. Weinstein, a purported stockholder of BioSante filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Weinstein v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., naming BioSante's directors as defendants and BioSante as a nominal defendant. A substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on May 22, 2012 and another substantially similar complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division, on June 27, 2012. The suits generally related to the same events that are the subject of the class action litigation described above. The complaints allege breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and unjust enrichment as causes of action occurring from at least February 2010 through December 2011. The complaints seek unspecified damages, punitive damages, costs and disbursements and unspecified reform and improvements in BioSante's corporate governance and internal control procedures. On September 24, 2012, the District Court consolidated the two cases before it and on November 20, 2012, the plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. On November 27, 2012, the plaintiff in the action pending in Illinois state court filed an amended complaint. On January 11, 2013, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the action pending in District Court, and on January 18, 2013, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the action pending in Illinois state court. Briefing on these motions is complete and the parties await the Courts' rulings.

        The lawsuits are in their early stages; and, therefore, BioSante is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits and the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with their resolution or any potential effect the lawsuits may have on BioSante's operations. Depending on the outcome or resolution of these lawsuits, they could have a material effect on BioSante's operations, including its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Proposed Merger with ANI

Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger

        On April 12, 2013, BioSante and ANI entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ANI, after which ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. The merger agreement amends and restates in its entirety the prior merger agreement.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation, and all options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled without consideration therefor, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any

181


Table of Contents

equity or other interest in BioSante or ANI after the merger. No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued in connection with the merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the stockholders of ANI immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante common stock and the stockholders of BioSante immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will own 43 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante common stock. Unlike the exchange ratio provision in the prior merger agreement, the respective percentage ownerships of the ANI and BioSante stockholders in BioSante after the merger are fixed at 57 percent and 43 percent, respectively, and are not subject to adjustment based on BioSante's net cash. The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        The merger agreement provides that, immediately following the effective time of the merger, the BioSante board of directors will consist of five current directors of ANI and two current directors of BioSante, and ANI's current executive officers are expected to serve as executive officers of BioSante.

        Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to (i) approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger by BioSante stockholders and the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the ANI stockholders; (ii) the effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement to be filed by BioSante with the SEC to register the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued in connection with the merger, which will contain a joint proxy statement/prospectus; (iii) written opinions of counsel that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; and (iv) other customary closing conditions.

        Each of BioSante and ANI have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement, including among others, covenants that (i) each party will conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the interim period between execution of the merger agreement and consummation of the merger (and BioSante will not incur compensation expenses for employees and consultants in excess of specified monthly amounts); (ii) each party will not engage in certain kinds of transactions or take certain actions during such period; (iii) ANI will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the ANI board of directors will recommend that the ANI stockholders adopt and approve the merger agreement, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) BioSante will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the approval of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and the BioSante board of directors will recommend that BioSante stockholders adopt and approve such proposal, subject to certain exceptions. Each of BioSante and ANI also has agreed not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or enter into discussions or an agreement concerning any proposals for alternative business combination transactions, subject to exceptions for BioSante in the event of its receipt of a "superior proposal."

        The merger agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of ANI and BioSante in certain circumstances. If the merger agreement is terminated due to certain triggering events specified in the merger agreement, BioSante will be required to pay ANI a termination fee of up to $1.0 million or ANI will be required to pay BioSante a termination fee of up to $750,000. The merger agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, BioSante may be required to reimburse ANI up to $500,000 for ANI's expenses in connection with the transaction. Any expenses paid by BioSante will be credited against the $1.0 million termination fee if the termination fee subsequently becomes payable by BioSante.

Amended and Restated Voting Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain of the ANI stockholders, who collectively held approximately 90 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated voting agreements with BioSante, pursuant to which each such ANI stockholder agreed to vote its shares of ANI capital stock in favor of the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the merger or the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement. In addition, one of the ANI stockholders, who holds approximately 57 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into an amended and restated voting agreement, pursuant to which such ANI stockholder agreed to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by BioSante at the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the merger.

        In addition, certain of BioSante stockholders, directors and officers, who collectively held approximately two percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated voting agreements with ANI, pursuant to which each such BioSante stockholder agreed to vote its shares of BioSante capital stock in favor of the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the merger or the transaction contemplated by the merger agreement.

        These voting agreements will terminate upon the earlier of the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement; provided, however, that the voting agreement pursuant to which the ANI stockholder agreed to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by BioSante at the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the merger will terminate upon the earlier of completion of the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement.

Amended and Restated Lock-Up Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, ANI's chief executive officer and chief financial officer and certain ANI stockholders, who collectively held approximately 85 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated lock-up agreements with BioSante, pursuant to which each such ANI stockholder will be subject to a six-month lock-up on the sale of shares of BioSante common stock received in the merger. The amended and restated lock-up agreements for ANI's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, however, will permit these individuals to begin immediately after the effectiveness of the merger to sell up to one-half of their shares in market transactions pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

        On March 15, 2013, the BioSante board of directors had declared a distribution of CVRs to be effective as of April 12, 2013, the date of the adjourned stockholders meeting for the prior merger, but conditioned upon completion of the prior merger. As a result of the merger agreement, the BioSante board of directors has rescinded this prior distribution of CVRs and intends to take action to issue the CVRs under the contingent value rights agreement at an appropriate time prior to the merger.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, BioSante has the right to issue contingent value rights to existing BioSante stockholders immediately prior to completion of the merger. The CVRs will be issued upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into between BioSante, ANI and Computershare, as rights agent. Pursuant to the terms of the contingent value rights agreement, one CVR will be issued for each share of BioSante common stock outstanding as of the record date to be set at a date prior to the completion of the merger. The

183


Table of Contents

CVRs will not be certificated and will not be attached to the shares of BioSante common stock. Each CVR will be a non-transferable (subject to certain limited exceptions) right potentially to receive certain cash payments, during the ten-year period after the distribution of the rights, resulting from the LibiGel program, including (i) 66 percent of any net cash payments received by BioSante as a result of a sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to BioSante's LibiGel program, as determined pursuant to the agreement, and (ii) five percent of net revenues from direct sales of LibiGel products after the merger, assuming that BioSante incurs less than $2.5 million of additional development expenses. The amount potentially payable under the contingent value rights agreement will not exceed $50 million in the aggregate.


Financial Overview

        BioSante's lead product in development is LibiGel for the treatment of FSD, specifically HSDD, in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved pharmaceutical product. For the past several years, BioSante has focused its efforts on two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials and its LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study. In December 2011, BioSante announced results from its two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, which showed that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although LibiGel performed as predicted, increasing satisfying sexual events and sexual desire and decreasing distress associated with low desire, the placebo response in the two efficacy trials was greater than expected, and LibiGel's results were not shown to be statistically different from the placebo.

        Beginning in December 2011, BioSante analyzed the data from its Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, consulted with key opinion leaders in female sexual dysfunction, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, and met with representatives of the FDA. As a result of this process, in June 2012 BioSante announced a plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials.

        In September 2012, BioSante announced that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) completed its ninth unblinded review of the LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study and recommended that the LibiGel safety study should continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modifications. At the time of the DMC review, there were 53 adjudicated CV events, with a lower than anticipated event rate of approximately 0.72 percent. In the same population of subjects, there were 27 breast cancers reported, a rate of approximately 0.37 percent, which is in line with the expected rate based on the ages of the subjects enrolled in the study. Given this latest review during which no specific or general safety issues were raised, and after extensive consideration, BioSante also announced in September 2012 the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study effective immediately. Prior to the initiation of the LibiGel safety study in 2008, the FDA advised BioSante that subjects in the cardiovascular event and breast cancer safety study were required to have a minimum average exposure in the safety study of 12 months prior to submitting a LibiGel new drug application (NDA), and prior to a potential FDA approval of LibiGel. As of the date of the conclusion of the safety study, subjects had been in the study for an average time of 24.5 months; more than 3,200 subjects had been in the study for more than one year and over 1,700 subjects had been enrolled for more than two years. With this ninth positive unblinded review of the study by the DMC, and over 7,400 women-years of exposure, BioSante believes that adequate safety data of LibiGel use in menopausal women has been obtained.

        BioSante is continuing to develop a protocol for new LibiGel efficacy trials and plans to seek an FDA SPA agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials.

        Elestrin was BioSante's first FDA approved product and now is one of BioSante's two FDA approved products. Meda (which acquired Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s women's health business and which in turn had acquired Azur Pharma International II Limited (Azur), BioSante's prior licensee), is marketing Elestrin in the U.S. In December 2009, BioSante entered into an amendment to its original

184


Table of Contents

licensing agreement with Azur pursuant to which BioSante received $3.16 million in non-refundable payments in exchange for the elimination of all remaining future royalty payments and certain milestone payments that could have been paid to BioSante related to sales of Elestrin. BioSante maintains the right to receive up to $140 million in sales-based milestone payments from Meda if Elestrin reaches certain predefined sales per calendar year; although, based on current sales levels, BioSante believes its receipt of such payments unlikely in the near term, if at all.

        BioSante's male testosterone gel is its second FDA approved product. This product was developed initially by BioSante, and then licensed by BioSante to Teva for late stage clinical development. Teva submitted an NDA to the FDA in the beginning of 2011, which was approved by the FDA in February 2012. Subsequent to Teva submitting the NDA, in April 2011, AbbVie Inc., a marketer of a testosterone gel for men, filed a complaint against Teva alleging patent infringement. This litigation was settled in December 2011; however, the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential and have not been disclosed publicly. No launch date for this product has been announced by Teva.

        Under BioSante's development and license agreement with Teva, Teva has agreed to market the male testosterone gel for the U.S. market and is responsible for any and all manufacturing and marketing associated with the product. The financial terms of the development and license agreement included a $1.5 million upfront payment by Teva, which was paid to BioSante in December 2002, and an obligation by Teva to pay BioSante certain milestones and royalties on sales of the product in exchange for rights to develop and market the product, as described in more detail below. The term of the development and license agreement will expire 10 years from the date on which Teva makes its first commercial sale of the male testosterone gel to an unrelated third party in an arms-length transaction in the United States. The parties may terminate the development and license agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a material breach of the agreement by the other party. BioSante may terminate the agreement if Teva files a petition in bankruptcy, enters into an arrangement with its creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee is appointed or if Teva suffers or permits the entry of an order adjudicating it to be bankrupt or insolvent. Teva may terminate the agreement if Teva determines that the continued development and/or marketing of the male testosterone gel is no longer commercially viable.

        In October 2012, BioSante entered into an amendment to its agreement with Teva pursuant to which Teva made a non-refundable $1.0 million payment to BioSante upon the signing of the amendment and a non-refundable $750,000 payment in December 2012. Teva also agreed to make the following milestone based payments to BioSante: (1) $500,000 if the FDA authorizes marketing of the licensed male testosterone gel as an "AB-rated" equivalent to AndroGel®; and (2) $500,000 upon the earlier to occur of (a) December 31, 2013 and (b) five business days after Teva's commencement of commercial manufacture of the licensed product for sale in the United States. In addition, Teva has agreed to pay BioSante $4.0 million in the event Teva is the sole marketer in the United States of a generic 1% testosterone gel AB-rated to AndroGel® for at least 180 days immediately following the launch date of the licensed product in the United States. The royalty rate to be paid by Teva to BioSante under the agreement is five percent of net sales; provided, however, that during the period of time that Teva markets the licensed product and is the sole marketer of a generic 1% testosterone gel that is AB-rated to AndroGel® in the United States, the royalty rate will be seven and one half percent of net sales. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the October 2012 amendment, the parties agreed to release each other from certain liabilities.

        BioSante licenses the technology underlying certain of its gel products, including LibiGel and Elestrin, but not the male testosterone gel, from Antares Pharma, Inc. The patents covering the formulations used in the gel products covered under the license agreement are expected to expire in 2022, although with respect to LibiGel, a new U.S. patent covering the "method of use" of LibiGel for treating FSD and HSDD was issued, which will expire in December 2028. BioSante's license agreement with Antares requires BioSante to pay Antares certain development and regulatory milestone payments

185


Table of Contents

and royalties based on net sales of any products BioSante or its licensees sell incorporating the licensed technology. Specifically, BioSante is obligated to pay Antares 25 percent of all upfront and milestone payments related to a license and a 4.5 percent royalty on net sales of product by BioSante or a licensee. Since entering into the agreement and through December 31, 2012, BioSante has paid Antares an upfront payment of $1.0 million, an aggregate of $5.1 million in milestone payments and an aggregate of $100,000 in royalties. Aggregate potential milestone payments to be paid by BioSante to Antares under the agreement include 25 percent of the potential $140 million in sales-based milestone payments, or $35 million from Meda if Elestrin reaches certain predefined sales per calendar year; although, based on current sales levels, BioSante believes its receipt of such payments unlikely in the near term, if at all.

        The term of BioSante's license agreement with Antares will expire on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis when the royalties expire (at patent expiration), at which time BioSante will have a fully paid-up exclusive license regarding the applicable product in such country. BioSante and Antares may terminate the license agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a material breach of the agreement by the other party or if the other party goes into liquidation or bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver is appointed. Antares may terminate the agreement with respect to certain products or territories if BioSante does not continue development, seeking regulatory approval or marketing of such products in the covered territories. BioSante may terminate the agreement with respect to certain products or territories if, for technical, scientific or regulatory reasons, it is not likely that the product will gain required regulatory approvals in a territory, if regulatory approvals in a territory are not obtained or if BioSante determines that it is not economically viable to continue development or marketing of a product in a territory.

        On January 31, 2013, BioSante entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aduro BioTech, Inc. pursuant to which BioSante sold all of its assets related to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio on a worldwide basis in exchange for a $1.0 million cash payment plus the potential for future royalty, milestone and sublicense payments. The royalty rate payable by Aduro to BioSante on net sales of GVAX products is two percent of net sales for the longer of: (1) the remaining life on any applicable GVAX patent; or (2) the seventh anniversary of the first commercial sale of each GVAX product. A $2.0 million milestone payment will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of $10.0 million in net sales of GVAX-pancreas products and a $2.0 million milestone payment will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of $10.0 million in net sales of GVAX-prostate products, with a maximum amount payable of $50.0 million for each category of products. Additional launch and sales-based milestone payments will be payable by Aduro to BioSante upon the achievement of certain specified net sales of other GVAX containing products, other than products to treat pancreas or prostate cancer. The maximum amount payable by Aduro to BioSante under the agreement for royalties and milestone payments is $162.0 million. BioSante also is entitled to receive 50 percent of all amounts received by Aduro from milestone and royalty payments from The John P. Hussman Foundation related to melanoma, net of related costs borne by Aduro.


Summary of 2012 Financial Results and Outlook for 2013

        Substantially all of BioSante's revenue to date has been derived from upfront, milestone and royalty payments earned on licensing and sublicensing transactions and from subcontracts. BioSante's business operations to date have consisted primarily of licensing and research and development activities and if BioSante does not complete its proposed merger with ANI, BioSante would expect this to continue for the immediate future. To date, BioSante has used primarily equity financings, and to a lesser extent, licensing income, interest income and the cash received from its 2009 merger with Cell Genesys, Inc., to fund its ongoing business operations and short-term liquidity needs.

        As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had $34.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had outstanding $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% convertible senior notes due

186


Table of Contents

May 1, 2013. Absent the receipt of any additional licensing income or financing, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents balance to decrease as it continues to use cash to fund its operations. Assuming the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI is completed, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 to meet its liquidity requirements through at least its anticipated closing of the merger. If the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI is not completed, BioSante will need to reevaluate its strategic alternatives, which may include continuing as an independent, stand-alone business, a sale of the company or other strategic transaction. BioSante's liquidity position will be dependent upon the strategic alternative selected; however, assuming BioSante does not enter into another strategic transaction, and assuming BioSante decides not to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next three to five years. Additional financing would be required should BioSante decide to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel. These estimates may prove incorrect or BioSante, nonetheless, may choose to raise additional financing earlier.

        BioSante incurred expenses of $16.9 million on research and development activities during the year ended December 31, 2012, which is a 62 percent decrease compared to 2011, primarily as a result of the conclusion of the two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials at the end of 2011. BioSante anticipates that its research and development expenses for 2013 will be approximately $2.5 million and will consist primarily of expenses associated with the conclusion of the safety study. This estimate assumes no further development of LibiGel and completion of the merger with ANI, but does not include research and development expenses to be incurred by the combined company after completion of the merger.

        General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased 18 percent compared to 2011 due primarily to an increase in professional fees and other administrative expenses. BioSante's general and administrative expenses generally fluctuate from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter depending upon the amount of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and the amount of legal, public and investor relations, accounting, corporate governance and other general and administrative fees and expenses incurred.

        BioSante recognized an income tax benefit based on the receipt of an income tax credit for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $121,791 compared to the recognition of no income tax benefit or expense for the year ended December 31, 2011. The income tax benefit was a result of an election to accelerate research and development credits in lieu of receiving bonus depreciation on certain property under Section 168(k)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        BioSante recognized a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $27.7 million compared to a net loss of $51.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily a result of the conclusion of the prior two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials at the end of 2011 and in September 2012 the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study, and was offset in part by an increase in the non-cash fair value adjustment relating to the cancellation of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of BioSante's convertible senior notes. BioSante recognized a net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1.27 compared to a net loss per share of $3.15 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease in net loss per share was the result of the higher weighted average number of shares outstanding, offset by the lower net loss described above.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        BioSante's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to BioSante's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion and analysis of BioSante's financial statements and results of operations are based upon BioSante's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The discussion and analysis of BioSante's financial

187


Table of Contents

statements and results of operations are based upon BioSante's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of BioSante's financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The SEC has defined a company's most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and which requires BioSante to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, BioSante has identified the critical accounting policy described below. Although BioSante believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounting for Convertible Senior Notes Assumed in Connection with the Cell Genesys Acquisition

        On October 14, 2009, BioSante completed a legal merger with Cell Genesys, as a result of which BioSante acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Cell Genesys. Concurrently with the merger, the common stock of Cell Genesys was converted into common stock of BioSante, and Cell Genesys ceased to exist. The primary reason BioSante merged with Cell Genesys was BioSante's need at that time for additional funding to continue its then Phase III clinical studies for LibiGel and the lack of other available acceptable alternatives for BioSante to access capital prior to and at the time the merger agreement was entered into by BioSante and Cell Genesys in June 2009, especially in light of the then state of the markets for equity offerings, which historically had been BioSante's primary method for raising additional financing. BioSante has accounted for this transaction with Cell Genesys under GAAP as an acquisition of the net assets of Cell Genesys, whereby BioSante has recorded the individual assets and liabilities of Cell Genesys as of the completion of the merger based on their estimated fair values. As Cell Genesys had ceased operations, the acquisition was not considered to be a business combination, and the allocation of the purchase price did not result in recognition of goodwill. As a result of this treatment, during the fourth quarter of 2009, BioSante recognized a non-cash expense of approximately $20.2 million representing the excess of the consideration and costs of the transaction over the fair value of assets and liabilities received.

        BioSante assumed $22.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes in connection with the Cell Genesys acquisition, including $1.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011, which were repaid prior to the November 1, 2011 maturity date, and $20.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013, $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of which were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes remained outstanding following the exchange transactions previously discussed.

        BioSante elected to apply the fair value option to the debt at the time of the acquisition, with recognition of subsequent changes in the fair value of the convertible senior notes recognized in BioSante's statements of operations immediately. As a result of this election, BioSante periodically must estimate the fair value of its convertible senior notes, which requires BioSante to make certain judgments and estimates about appropriate discount rates, BioSante's creditworthiness, and assumptions regarding potential conversion of the notes. BioSante believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in significant differences in the carrying value of the convertible senior notes. The most sensitive of these assumptions is the discount rate used in the fair value estimate, which was 19.4 percent at December 31, 2012, and is based on the median yield to maturity of Ca and Caa3 rated debt instruments as of December 31, 2012. A one percentage point increase or decrease in the discount rate would cause the recorded value of the convertible senior notes to decrease or increase by approximately $22,000.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

        Revenue recognized during 2012 consisted primarily of licensing revenue from Teva under the terms of the license agreement amendment executed in October 2012 pursuant to which Teva made a $1.0 million payment to BioSante upon signing of the amendment in October 2012 and a $750,000 milestone payment in December 2012. Additionally, BioSante recognized royalty revenue from Jazz and Meda for Elestrin sales, which royalty revenue is offset by BioSante's corresponding obligation to pay Antares royalties representing the same amount. BioSante's corresponding obligation to pay Antares a portion of the royalties received, which equaled $550,736 during 2012 and $335,160 during 2011, is recorded within general and administrative expenses in BioSante's statements of operations. In addition, during 2011, BioSante recognized $100,000 in revenue from its receipt of an upfront non-refundable licensing fee from The John P. Hussman Foundation associated with BioSante's former GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio.

        Research and development expenses for 2012 decreased 62 percent compared to 2011 primarily as a result of the completion of BioSante's two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials at the end of 2011 and the conclusion of the safety study in September 2012.

        General and administrative expenses for 2012 increased 18 percent compared to 2011 primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees and other administrative expenses primarily due to BioSante's efforts to seek strategic alternatives, including in particular expenses incurred in connection with BioSante's pending merger with ANI.

        The fair value adjustment on BioSante's convertible senior notes for 2012 was $4.3 million compared to $23,427 for 2011. The increase in the expense for 2012 was primarily as a result of $3.2 million non-cash fair value adjustment (expense) recorded upon cancellation of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of BioSante's convertible senior notes in February and July 2012 in exchange for the issuance of 3,652,125 shares of BioSante common stock. The convertible fair value adjustment for 2011 increased the recorded liability and corresponding expense by $23,427 and included

Table of Contents

BioSante's 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 and 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013.

        Interest expense was $348,019 and $681,573 for 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of BioSante's convertible senior notes. Interest expense decreased during 2012 as a result of the repayment of BioSante's 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the cancellation of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of BioSante's 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013, including accrued and unpaid interest, during the first and third quarters of 2012 in exchange for the issuance of 3,652,125 shares of BioSante common stock.

        Interest income increased $213 for 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of higher average interest rates despite lower average cash balances during 2012.

        BioSante recognized an income tax benefit based on the receipt of an income tax credit for 2012 of $121,791 compared to the recognition of no income tax benefit or expense for 2011. The income tax benefit was a result of an election to accelerate research and development credits in lieu of receiving bonus depreciation on certain property under Section 168(k)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

        Revenue decreased $2.0 million, or 82.4 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, primarily as a result of the recognition of royalty revenue during 2010 resulting primarily from the receipt of $2.3 million in non-refundable upfront payments from Azur, partially offset by BioSante's receipt during 2011 of $100,000 in a non-refundable upfront licensing fee from The John P. Hussman Foundation relating to an exclusive worldwide license of BioSante's former melanoma vaccine. The $2.3 million payment from Azur in 2010 was in exchange for the elimination of all remaining future royalty payments that BioSante is not required to pay Antares under a separate agreement and certain future milestone payments due BioSante under the terms of the original license, as permitted by the amendment to BioSante's license agreement signed in December 2009. The only other revenue recognized during 2011 consisted of royalty revenue from Jazz Pharmaceuticals for Elestrin sales, which royalty revenue is offset by BioSante's corresponding obligation to pay Antares royalties representing the same amount.

        Research and development expenses for 2011 increased 11.3 percent compared to 2010 primarily as a result of the conduct of the three LibiGel Phase III clinical studies, particularly the safety study.

        General and administrative expenses for 2011 increased 17.5 percent compared to 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in personnel-related costs and, to a lesser extent, increases in professional fees and other administrative expenses during 2011.

        The fair value adjustment on BioSante's convertible senior notes for 2011 was $23,427 compared to $1.9 million for 2010 as the fair value of the debt did not change significantly between December 31, 2010 and 2011.

        Interest expense for 2011 was $681,573 compared to $688,083 for 2010.

        During 2010, BioSante recorded an investment impairment loss of $286,000 based on BioSante's determination that an other-than-temporary loss had occurred with respect to BioSante's investment in Ceregene, Inc. based on a third-party investment in Ceregene in 2010.

Working Capital

        Since its inception, BioSante has incurred significant operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $245.0 million as of December 31, 2012. To date, BioSante has used primarily equity financings, and to a lesser extent, licensing income, interest income and the cash received from its 2009 merger with Cell Genesys, to fund its ongoing business operations and short-term liquidity needs.

        As of December 31, 2012, BioSante had $34.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 outstanding. Absent the receipt of any additional licensing income or financing, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents balance to decrease as it continues to use cash to fund its operations. Assuming the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI is completed at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of 2013, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 to meet its liquidity requirements through at least the anticipated closing of the merger. If the proposed merger is not completed, BioSante will need to reevaluate its strategic alternatives, which may include continuing as an independent, stand-alone company, a sale of the company or other strategic transaction. BioSante's liquidity position will be dependent upon the strategic alternative selected; however, assuming BioSante does not enter into another strategic transaction, and assuming BioSante decides not to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel, BioSante expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next three to five years. Substantial additional financing would be required should BioSante decide to commence new efficacy trials for LibiGel. These estimates may prove incorrect or BioSante, nonetheless, may choose to raise additional financing earlier.

        BioSante's future capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including:

    the timing, cost and successful completion of the proposed merger;

    the progress, timing, cost and results of BioSante's clinical development programs, including in particular the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study, and if BioSante has not completed the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI, beginning in mid-2013, the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials if BioSante decides to commence such trials, and if BioSante in-licenses additional new products that require further development;

    the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory actions with respect to BioSante's products;

    the success, progress, timing and costs of BioSante's business development efforts to implement business collaborations, licenses and other business combinations or transactions, and BioSante's efforts to evaluate various strategic alternatives available with respect to its products and company.

    BioSante's ability to obtain value from its current products and technologies and its ability to out-license its products and technologies to third parties for development and commercialization and the terms of such out-licenses;

    BioSante's ability to acquire or in-license additional new products and technologies and the costs and expenses of such acquisitions or licenses;

    the timing and amount of any royalties, milestone or other payments BioSante may receive from or be obligated to pay to current and potential licensors, licensees and other third parties;

    the resolution of BioSante's pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation and any amount BioSante may be required to pay in excess of its directors' and officers' liability insurance.

        BioSante does not have any existing credit facilities under which it could borrow funds. In the event that BioSante would require additional working capital to fund future operations, it could seek to acquire such funds through additional equity or debt financing arrangements. If BioSante raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting BioSante's operations or its ability to incur additional debt. There is no assurance that any financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to BioSante, or at all. As an alternative to raising additional financing, BioSante may choose to license one or more of its products or technologies to a third party who may finance a portion or all of the continued development and, if approved, commercialization of that licensed product, or sell certain assets or rights under its existing license agreements. In addition, from time to time, BioSante may purchase, exchange or restructure its outstanding convertible senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other equity securities of BioSante, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and/or a tender offer. In February 2012, BioSante issued an aggregate of 1,868,055 shares of its common stock to one of the holders of its convertible senior notes in exchange for the cancellation of $9.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes, including accrued and unpaid interest of $79,024, and in July 2012, BioSante issued an aggregate of 1,784,070 shares of its common stock to two of the holders of BioSante's convertible senior notes in exchange for the cancellation of $3.5 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes and accrued and unpaid interest of $20,686. Such additional purchases, exchanges or restructurings, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the trading price and volume of BioSante common stock, the willingness of the note holders to sell, exchange or restructure their notes, BioSante's available cash and cash equivalents, its liquidity requirements, regulatory limitations, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such future purchases, exchanges or restructurings could dilute the percentage ownership of BioSante stockholders, result in the issuance of securities at a discount to market price or that may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing BioSante stockholders and/or decrease BioSante's cash balance. A significant decrease in BioSante's cash balance, together with an inability to raise additional financing when needed, may impair BioSante's ability to execute strategic alternatives or leave it without sufficient cash remaining for operations.

        BioSante is subject to pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation, which litigation is described elsewhere in this report. Such litigation could divert management's attention,

192


Table of Contents

harm BioSante's business and/or reputation and result in significant liabilities, as well as harm BioSante's ability to raise additional financing and execute certain strategic alternatives.

        BioSante can provide no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to BioSante, or at all. This is particularly true if investors are not confident in the success of the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI, BioSante's LibiGel development program, the future value of BioSante and/or economic and market conditions deteriorate. If BioSante does not complete the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI and if adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms when BioSante needs them, BioSante may need to reduce its operating costs further or it may be forced to explore other strategic alternatives, such as other business combination transactions or winding down its operations and liquidating the company. In such case, BioSante stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.

Uses of Cash and Cash Flow

Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010

        Net cash used in operating activities was $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities for 2012 was primarily the result of the net loss for that period which was lower compared to the prior year period due to lower clinical trial related expenses primarily as a result of the completion of BioSante's two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials at the end of 2011 and the conclusion of the safety study in September 2012. Net cash used in operating activities for 2011 was primarily the result of the net loss for that period which was higher compared to 2010 due to higher LibiGel Phase III clinical study related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the non-cash mark-to-market expense for BioSante's convertible senior notes. Net cash used in operating activities for 2010 was primarily the result of the net loss for that period, which was slightly higher compared to the prior year period due primarily to higher LibiGel Phase III clinical study related expenses, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.

        Net cash used in investing activities was $619,148 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $719,925 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and net cash used in investing activities of $60,366 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Net cash used in investing activities for 2012 was due primarily to the purchase of fixed assets. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for 2011 compared to 2010 was due to a significant increase in the purchase of fixed assets, including in particular machinery, computers and furniture. The machinery purchased during 2011 related to BioSante-owned machinery for LibiGel product manufacturing at its contract manufacturer and the increased amounts spent on computers and furniture during 2011 was due primarily to its increased number of personnel in 2011 compared to 2010.

        Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $67.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $48.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2012 was the result of BioSante's August 2012 registered direct offering, which resulted in net proceeds of $3.3 million, after deduction of placement agent fees and offering expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2011 resulted from the net proceeds to BioSante, after deducting placement agent fees, underwriters' discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, from the completion of BioSante's March 2011 registered direct offering and August 2011 underwritten public offering, partially offset by the repayment of the 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 of $1.2 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2010 resulted from the net proceeds to BioSante, after deducting

placement agent fees and offering expenses, from the completion of BioSante's March, June and December 2010 registered direct offerings.

3.125% Convertible Senior Notes Due May 1, 2013

        As a result of BioSante's merger with Cell Genesys in 2009, BioSante assumed $1.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 and $20.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 issued by Cell Genesys. Prior to the November 1, 2011 maturity date, BioSante repaid in its entirety the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date. During the year ended December 31, 2012, BioSante issued an aggregate of approximately 3.7 million shares of BioSante common stock to holders of the 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 in exchange for cancellation of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes, including accrued and unpaid interest.

        Contractual interest payments on the convertible senior notes are due on May 1 and November 1 of each year through maturity. Annual interest on the remaining convertible senior notes is approximately $259,000.

        The remaining outstanding convertible senior notes are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 370,871 shares of BioSante common stock at a conversion price of $22.32 per share, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events. The convertible senior notes are general, unsecured obligations of BioSante, ranking equally with all of BioSante's existing and future unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness, but are effectively subordinated to all of BioSante's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the related collateral, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of any subsidiaries of BioSante. The convertible senior notes are subject to repurchase by BioSante at each holder's option, if a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occurs, at a repurchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the convertible senior notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchase date and are subject to redemption for cash by BioSante, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if the closing price of BioSante common stock has exceeded 150 percent of the conversion price then in effect with respect to such notes for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the mailing of the notice of redemption. As of December 31, 2012, the convertible senior notes were not eligible for redemption. The indenture governing the convertible senior notes, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, does not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict BioSante from paying dividends, incurring additional debt or issuing or repurchasing other securities of BioSante. In addition, the indenture, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, does not protect the holders of the convertible senior notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a fundamental change of BioSante except in certain circumstances specified in the indenture.

        From time to time, BioSante may purchase, exchange or restructure its outstanding convertible senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other equity securities of BioSante, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and/or a tender offer. The amounts involved may be material. Such additional purchases, exchanges or restructurings, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, BioSante's available cash and cash equivalents, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such future purchases, exchanges or restructurings could dilute the percentage ownership of BioSante stockholders, result in the issuance of securities at a discount to market price or that may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the existing BioSante stockholders and/or decrease BioSante's cash balance. A significant decrease in BioSante's cash balance

Table of Contents

may impair its ability to execute strategic alternatives or leave it without sufficient cash remaining for operations.

        BioSante has elected to record the convertible senior notes at fair value in order to simplify the accounting for the convertible debt, inclusive of the redemption, repurchase and conversion adjustment features which otherwise would require specialized valuation, bifurcation and recognition. Accordingly, BioSante has adjusted the carrying value of the convertible senior notes to their fair value as of December 31, 2012, with changes in the fair value of the convertible senior notes occurring since December 31, 2011 reflected in convertible note fair value adjustment in BioSante's statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair value of the convertible senior notes are based on Level 2 inputs according to the fair value hierarchy required under GAAP, which means fair value of the convertible senior notes is based on observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. The aggregate recorded fair value of the convertible senior notes of $7.9 million as of December 31, 2012 differs from their total stated principal amount of $8.3 million as of such date by $0.4 million. The aggregate recorded fair value of the convertible senior notes of $17.3 million as of December 31, 2011 differs from their total stated principal amount of $20.8 million as of such date by $3.5 million.

        On January 31, 2013, BioSante entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aduro pursuant to which BioSante sold all of its assets related to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio in exchange for a $1.0 million up front cash payment plus the potential for future royalty, milestone and sublicense payments. As a result of such agreement, Aduro is responsible for future contractual obligations relating to the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio. As such, all future contractual obligations related to the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio of BioSante as of December 31, 2012 have been omitted from the above table. In February 2013, the Wake Forest University commitment was paid in full.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        BioSante does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or reasonably are likely to have a material effect on BioSante's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. As a result, BioSante is not exposed materially to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if BioSante had engaged in these arrangements.

        BioSante does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        BioSante is exposed to interest rate sensitivity on its cash equivalents in money market funds and its outstanding fixed rate debt. The objective of BioSante's investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, BioSante invests in highly liquid U.S. Treasury money market funds. BioSante's investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds are subject to interest rate risk. To minimize the exposure due to an adverse shift in interest rates, BioSante invests in short-term securities and its goal is to maintain an average maturity of less than one year. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, all of BioSante's cash equivalents are only invested in a U.S. Treasury money market fund and a certificate of deposit.

        The paragraphs below provide information about each director of BioSante, including all positions he holds, his principal occupation and business experience for the past five years, and the names of other publicly-held companies of which he currently serves as a director or served as a director during the past five years. BioSante believes that all of its directors display personal and professional integrity; satisfactory levels of education and/or business experience; broad-based business acumen; an appropriate level of understanding of its business and its industry and other industries relevant to its business; the ability and willingness to devote adequate time to the work of the BioSante board of directors and its committees; a fit of skills and personality with those of its other directors that helps build a board of directors that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of its company; strategic thinking and a willingness to share ideas; a diversity of experiences, expertise and background; and the ability to represent the interests of all of BioSante stockholders. The information presented below regarding each director also sets forth specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the BioSante board of directors to the conclusion that he should serve as a director in light of BioSante's business and structure.

         The Honorable Louis W. Sullivan, M.D. has been BioSante's Chairman of the Board since 1998 and has been a director of BioSante since its formation. Dr. Sullivan served as Secretary of Health and Human Services in the cabinet of President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1993. Since retiring from

the Bush Administration, Dr. Sullivan has been associated with the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently, he serves as President Emeritus and he previously served as President and Dean of the School from 1981 to 1985 and as President from 1985 to 1989 and from 1993 to 2002. Dr. Sullivan serves on the board of directors of Henry Schein Inc., United Therapeutics Corporation and Emergent BioSolutions Inc. Dr. Sullivan also serves as chairman of the National Health Museum in Atlanta, Georgia and as chairman of the Sullivan Alliance to Increase Diversity in the Health Profession. Dr. Sullivan previously served on the boards of directors of Inhibitex, Inc., 3M Corp., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Cigna Corporation and Georgia Pacific Corp.

        Dr. Sullivan is an experienced public company director having served as a member of the boards of directors of several large and small public companies. As such, Dr. Sullivan contributes an enhanced knowledge of public company requirements and issues to BioSante's Board of Directors, including corporate governance matters, which are specifically relevant to his role as BioSante's Chairman of the Board and as a member of BioSante's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and executive compensation matters, which are relevant to his role as Chair of BioSante's compensation committee. As BioSante's longest serving director having served as a director of BioSante for over 15 years, Dr. Sullivan has a deep and meaningful knowledge of BioSante, business and industry, all of which BioSante believes is helpful and gives important perspective to BioSante's Board of Directors. Finally, Dr. Sullivan is a medical doctor and thus adds medical expertise to BioSante's Board of Directors.

         Stephen M. Simes has served as BioSante's Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of BioSante since 1998. From 1994 to 1997, Mr. Simes was President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (currently a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie Inc.), a company with a product focus on infectious diseases, AIDS, endocrinology and oncology. From 1989 to 1993, Mr. Simes was Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gynex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a company which concentrated on the AIDS, endocrinology, urology and growth disorders markets. In 1993, Gynex was acquired by Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (formerly Bio-Technology General Corp.), and from 1993 to 1994, Mr. Simes served as Senior Vice President and director of Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. Mr. Simes's career in the pharmaceutical industry started in 1974 with G.D. Searle & Co. (now a part of Pfizer Inc.). Mr. Simes currently serves as BioSante's designee on the board of directors of Ceregene, Inc., a privately-held biotechnology company focused on the treatment of major neurodegenerative disorders.

        BioSante believes Mr. Simes's qualifications to serve as a member of the BioSante board of directors include his extensive depth of knowledge of BioSante and its business, management and employees and its day-to-day operations which he has gained through his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante for over 15 years. As both a member of BioSante's executive team and Board of Directors, Mr. Simes provides a critical link between management and BioSante's Board of Directors, enabling BioSante's Board of Directors to perform its oversight function with the benefits of management's perspectives on the business. In addition, Mr. Simes's extensive experience and knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry as a result of his previous executive positions with other pharmaceutical companies, as well as BioSante, and his involvement with the pharmaceutical industry for over 35 years add tremendous value to BioSante's Board of Directors. Mr. Simes has substantial FDA regulatory and licensing experience which he has gained through his prior positions with other pharmaceutical companies and experience with BioSante, and which has been particularly important to BioSante and his service on BioSante's Board of Directors.

Mr. Holubow previously served on the boards of directors of Micrus Endovascular Corporation, ThermoRetec Corporation, Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Bio-Technology General Corp.), Gynex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

        BioSante believes Mr. Holubow's qualifications to serve as a member of BioSante's Board of Directors include his significant experience of analyzing and investing in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies both in his current position as a Principal of Petard Risk Analysis and a General Partner of Starbow Partners and in his prior positions as a Managing Director of William Harris Investors and Vice President of Pegasus Associates. In addition, through his experience of serving on the boards of directors and more specifically the audit committees of several other public companies, Mr. Holubow has developed a substantial financial and accounting expertise with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, which he contributes to BioSante's Board of Directors and more specifically to BioSante's Audit and Finance Committee in his role as Chair of BioSante's Audit and Finance Committee.

         Ross Mangano has been a director of BioSante since 1999. Mr. Mangano has been the President and a director of Oliver Estate, Inc., a management company specializing in investments in public and private companies, since 1971. Mr. Mangano in the past has served on the boards of directors of Cerprobe Corporation, Tower Federal Savings & Loan, Cypress Communications, Inc. and Mego Financial Corp.

        BioSante believes Mr. Mangano's qualifications to serve as a member of BioSante's Board of Directors include his significant general business experience as President of Oliver Estate, Inc. and his significant experience analyzing and investing in public and private companies. In addition, BioSante believes Mr. Mangano provides BioSante's Board of Directors valuable business, leadership and management experience and insights into many aspects of BioSante's business. Mr. Mangano is President of JO & Co., which is a significant stockholder of BioSante, and controls all voting and investment power with respect to shares of BioSante common stock held by JO & Co., which BioSante believes gives him and the BioSante board of directors the perspective of a significant stockholder in making decisions.

         John T. Potts, Jr., M.D. has been a director of BioSante since October 2009 when he was elected to the BioSante board of directors in connection with BioSante's merger with Cell Genesys, Inc. His career spans more than 40 years of service in science and medicine. Dr. Potts is currently the Jackson Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine at Harvard Medical School. After medical training at the University of Pennsylvania, he did his internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) from 1957 to 1959, then went to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to work with Nobel laureate Christian Anfinsen in protein chemistry. Dr. Potts remained at the NIH from 1959 to 1968, when he returned to the MGH as chief of endocrinology. He served as chairman of the Department of Medicine and physician-in-chief from 1981 to 1996.

Director Independence

        The BioSante board of directors has determined that six of the seven current directors—Louis W. Sullivan, M.D., Fred Holubow, Ross Mangano, Edward C. Rosenow III, M.D., John T. Potts, Jr., M.D. and Stephen A. Sherwin, M.D.—are "independent directors" under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market provide a non-exclusive list of persons who are not considered independent. For example, under these rules, a director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the company or by any parent or subsidiary of the company, other than prior employment as an interim chairman or chief executive officer, would not be considered independent. No director qualifies as independent unless the BioSante board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a material relationship with the listed company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. In making an affirmative determination that a director is an "independent director," the BioSante board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by these individuals and by BioSante with regard to each of their business and personal activities as they may relate to BioSante and its management.


Board Leadership Structure

        The BioSante board of directors believes that BioSante stockholders are best served if the BioSante board of directors retains the flexibility to adapt its leadership structure to applicable facts and circumstances, which necessarily change over time. Accordingly, under BioSante's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the office of chairman of the board and chief executive officer may or may not be held by one person. The BioSante board of directors believes it is best not to have a fixed policy on this issue and that it should be free to make this determination based on what it believes is best under the circumstances. However, the BioSante board of directors strongly endorses the concept of an independent director being in a position of leadership for the rest of the outside directors. Under BioSante's Corporate Governance Guidelines, if at any time the chief executive officer and chairman of the board positions are held by the same person, the BioSante board of directors, upon recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee, will elect an independent director as a lead independent director.

        Louis W. Sullivan, M.D. currently serves as our non-executive Chairman of the Board. Stephen M. Simes currently serves as our Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Because the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions currently are not held by the same person,

202


Table of Contents

BioSante does not have a lead independent director. BioSante currently believes this leadership structure is in the best interests of BioSante and its stockholders and strikes the appropriate balance between the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility for the strategic direction, day-to-day-leadership and performance of the company and the Chairman's responsibility to provide oversight of BioSante's corporate governance and guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and to set the agenda for and preside over meetings of the BioSante board of directors.


Executive Sessions

        At each regular meeting of the BioSante board of directors, the independent directors meet in executive session with no company management present during a portion of the meeting. Dr. Sullivan as BioSante's Chairman of the Board presides over these executive sessions and serves as a liaison between the independent directors and BioSante's President and Chief Executive Officer.


Board Meetings and Attendance

        The BioSante board of directors held 13 meetings during 2012. All of BioSante's directors attended 75 percent or more of the aggregate meetings of the BioSante board of directors and all committees on which they served during 2012.


Board Committees

        The BioSante board of directors has three standing committees: audit and finance committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of these committees has the composition and responsibilities described below. The BioSante board of directors from time to time may establish other committees to facilitate the management of BioSante and may change the composition and the responsibilities of its existing committees. Each of BioSante's three standing committees has a charter which can be found on the Investors—Corporate Governance—Board Committees section of BioSante's corporate website at www.biosantepharma.com .

        The table below summarizes the current membership of each of BioSante's three standing board committees.

    reviewing and pre-approving all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be performed for BioSante by its independent registered public accounting firm as provided under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC; and

        The audit and finance committee has the authority to engage the services of outside experts and advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

        Composition and Audit Committee Financial Expert.     The current members of BioSante's audit and finance committee are Messrs. Holubow and Mangano and Dr. Sullivan. Mr. Holubow is the chair of the audit and finance committee.

        Each current member of the audit and finance committee qualifies as "independent" for purposes of membership on audit committees pursuant to the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and the rules and regulations of the SEC and is "financially literate" as required by the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market. In addition, the BioSante board of directors has determined that Mr. Holubow qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC and meets the qualifications of "financial sophistication" under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market as a result of his Masters in Business Administration in Finance, and his previous experience as an investment analyst and portfolio manager for over 40 years and as a former member of an audit committee of another public company. Stockholders should understand that these designations related to the Audit and Finance Committee members' experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters are disclosure requirements of the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market and do not impose upon any of them any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than those generally imposed on a member of the Audit and Finance Committee or of the BioSante board of directors.

        Meetings and Other Information.     BioSante's audit and finance committee met four times during 2012. At all of these meetings, the audit and finance committee met in private session with BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm. Additional information regarding the audit and finance committee and BioSante's independent registered public accounting firm is disclosed under the "Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of BioSante Stockholders—BioSante Proposal No. 3—Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

    reviewing and making recommendations to the BioSante board of directors regarding any revisions to corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for BioSante's chief executive officer and other executive officers and establishing and leading a process for the full board of directors to evaluate the performance of BioSante's chief executive officer and other executive officers in light of those goals and objectives;

    administering BioSante's equity-based compensation plans applicable to any employee of BioSante and recommending to the BioSante board of directors specific grants of options and other awards for all executive officers and determining specific grants of options and other awards for all other employees, under BioSante's equity-based compensation plans; and

        BioSante's compensation committee retained Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company, to assist in the design and review of its executive and director compensation program. Additional information regarding the role of Radford is found under "BioSante's Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Determination of Compensation—Role of Consultant". From time to time, the compensation committee also has engaged Radford to perform other compensation consulting services, which in 2010 included a non-employee director compensation analysis. Radford does not provide any services to BioSante other than those for which it has been retained by the compensation committee. The compensation committee has assessed the independence of Radford pursuant to SEC rules and NASDAQ listing rules and concluded that the work of Radford did not raise any conflicts of interest.

        Composition.     The current members of BioSante's compensation committee are Dr. Sullivan, Mr. Mangano, Dr. Rosenow and Dr. Sherwin. Dr. Sullivan is the chair of the compensation committee. Each of the four current members of the compensation committee is an "independent director" under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        Meetings and Other Information.     BioSante's compensation committee met three times during 2012.

    identifying individuals qualified to become members of the BioSante board of directors;

    recommending director nominees for each annual meeting of BioSante stockholders and director nominees to fill any vacancies that may occur between meetings of stockholders;

    being aware of the best practices in corporate governance and developing and recommending to the BioSante board of directors a set of corporate governance standards to govern the BioSante board of directors, its committees, the company and its employees in the conduct of the business and affairs of the company;

205


Table of Contents

    developing and overseeing the annual board and board committee evaluation process; and

    establishing and leading a process for determination of the compensation applicable to the non-employee directors on the board.

        BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee has the authority to engage the services of outside experts and advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

        Processes and Procedures for Consideration and Determination of Director Compensation.     As described in more detail above, the BioSante board of directors has delegated to the nominating and corporate governance committee the responsibility, among other things, to establish and lead a process for determination of compensation payable to BioSante's non-employee directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee makes recommendations regarding compensation payable to BioSante's non-employee directors to the entire BioSante board of directors, which then makes the final decisions. Under the terms of its formal written charter, the nominating and corporate governance committee has the power and authority to delegate any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees as the nominating and corporate governance committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. Historically, BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee has not generally delegated any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees, but rather has taken such actions as a committee, as a whole.

        In making final recommendations and decisions regarding compensation to be paid to BioSante's directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the BioSante board of directors consider the recommendations of Radford, an independent compensation consultant, but also other factors, such as its own views as to the form and amount of compensation to be paid, the peer group data provided by Radford, the current and anticipated time demands placed on directors and other factors that may be relevant.

        Composition.     The current members of BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee are Dr. Sullivan, Mr. Holubow, Mr. Mangano and Dr. Sherwin. Dr. Sherwin is the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the four current members of the nominating and corporate governance committee is an "independent director" within the meaning of the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

        Meetings and Other Information.     BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee met once during 2012. Additional information regarding BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee is disclosed under the "—Director Nominations Process" and "BioSante's Executive and Director Compensation—Director Compensation—Overview" sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.


Director Nominations Process

        Pursuant to a director nominations process adopted by the BioSante board of directors, in selecting nominees for the BioSante board of directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee first determines whether the incumbent directors are qualified to serve, and wish to continue to serve, on the Board. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that BioSante and its stockholders benefit from the continued service of qualified incumbent directors because those directors have familiarity with and insight into BioSante's affairs that they have accumulated during their tenure with the company. Appropriate continuity of Board membership also contributes to the Board's ability to work as a collective body. Accordingly, it is the practice of the nominating and corporate governance committee, in general, to re-nominate an incumbent director at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders if the director wishes to continue his or her service with the board, the director continues to satisfy the nominating and corporate governance committee's criteria for

206


Table of Contents

membership on the board, the nominating and corporate governance committee believes the director continues to make important contributions to the board, and there are no special, countervailing considerations against re-nomination of the director.

        Pursuant to the director nominations process adopted by the BioSante board of directors, in identifying and evaluating new candidates for election to the board, the nominating and corporate governance committee intends to first solicit recommendations for nominees from persons whom the nominating and corporate governance committee believes are likely to be familiar qualified candidates having the qualifications, skills and characteristics required for board nominees from time to time. Such persons may include members of the BioSante board of directors and senior management of BioSante. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee may engage a search firm to assist it in identifying qualified candidates. The nominating and corporate governance committee then intends to review and evaluate each candidate whom it believes merits serious consideration, taking into account available information concerning the candidate, any qualifications or criteria for board membership established by the nominating and corporate governance committee, the existing composition of the board, and other factors that it deems relevant. In conducting its review and evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit the views of BioSante's management, other board members, and any other individuals it believes may have insight into a candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee may designate one or more of its members and/or other board members to interview any proposed candidate.

        The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider recommendations for the nomination of directors submitted by BioSante stockholders. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as those recommended as stated above.

        There are no formal requirements or minimum qualifications that a candidate must meet in order for the nominating and corporate governance committee to recommend the candidate to the BioSante board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her merits as an individual, taking into account the needs of BioSante and the BioSante board of directors. However, in evaluating candidates, there are a number of criteria that the nominating and corporate governance committee generally views as relevant and is likely to consider. Some of these factors include:

    whether the candidate is an "independent director" under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and meets any other applicable independence tests under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC;

    whether the candidate is "financially sophisticated" and otherwise meets the requirements for serving as a member of an audit committee under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market;

    whether the candidate is an "audit committee financial expert" under the rules and regulations of the SEC;

    the needs of BioSante with respect to the particular talents and experience of BioSante's directors;

    the personal and professional integrity and reputation of the candidate;

    the candidate's level of education and business experience;

    the candidate's broad-based business acumen;

    the candidate's level of understanding of BioSante's business and its industry and other industries relevant to BioSante's business;

207


Table of Contents

    the candidate's ability and willingness to devote adequate time to work of the BioSante board of directors and its committees;

    the fit of the candidate's skills and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a board of directors that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of BioSante;

    whether the candidate possesses strategic thinking and a willingness to share ideas;

    the candidate's diversity of experiences, expertise and background; and

    the candidate's ability to represent the interests of all stockholders and not a particular interest group.

        While BioSante does not have a stand-alone diversity policy, in considering whether to recommend any director nominee, including candidates recommended by stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the factors above, including the candidate's diversity of experiences, expertise and background. The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks nominees with a broad diversity of experience, expertise and backgrounds. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. BioSante believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the BioSante board of directors to fulfill its responsibilities.


Board Oversight of Risk

        The BioSante board of directors as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with more in-depth reviews of certain areas of risk being conducted by the relevant board committees that report on their deliberations to the full BioSante board of directors. The oversight responsibility of the BioSante board of directors and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide information to the board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management's risk mitigation strategies. The areas of risk that BioSante focuses on include regulatory, operational, financial (accounting, credit, liquidity and tax), legal, compensation, competitive, health, safety and environment, economic, political and reputational risks.

        The standing committees of the BioSante board of directors oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus. The audit and finance committee's role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to stockholders, on BioSante's processes for the management of business and financial risk, our financial reporting obligations and for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements. The audit and finance committee, along with management, is also responsible for developing and participating in a process for review of important financial and operating topics that present potential significant risk to BioSante. The compensation committee is responsible for overseeing risks and exposures associated with BioSante's compensation programs and arrangements, including its executive and director compensation programs and arrangements, and management succession planning. The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees risks relating to corporate governance matters and policies and director succession planning.

        BioSante recognizes that a fundamental part of risk management is understanding not only the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the company. The involvement of the full BioSante board of directors in setting business strategy is a key part of the board's assessment of management's appetite for risk and also a determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for the company.

208


Table of Contents

        BioSante believes its current board leadership structure is appropriate and helps ensure proper risk oversight for the company for a number of reasons, including: (1) general risk oversight by the full BioSante board of directors in connection with its role in reviewing its key long-term and short-term business strategies and monitoring on an on-going basis the implementation of its key business strategies; (2) more detailed oversight by standing board committees that are currently comprised of and chaired by independent directors, and (3) the focus of BioSante's Chairman of the Board on allocating appropriate board agenda time for discussion regarding the implementation of our key business strategies and specifically risk management.


Code of Conduct and Ethics

        BioSante's code of conduct and ethics applies to all of BioSante's employees, officers and directors, including BioSante's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and meets the requirements of the SEC. A copy of BioSante's code of conduct and ethics is filed as an exhibit to BioSante's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. BioSante intends to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Item 5.05 of Form 8-K and The NASDAQ Global Market regarding amendments to or waivers from any provision of BioSante's code of conduct and ethics by posting such information on BioSante's corporate website located at www.biosantepharma.com.


Policy Regarding Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

        It is the policy of the BioSante board of directors that directors standing for re-election should attend BioSante's annual meeting of stockholders, if their schedules permit. All of BioSante's directors attended BioSante's 2012 annual meeting of stockholders in May 2012.


Complaint Procedures

        BioSante's audit and finance committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by BioSante regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, and the submission by BioSante's employees, on a confidential and anonymous basis, of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. BioSante's personnel with such concerns are encouraged to discuss their concerns with their supervisor first, who in turn will be responsible for informing BioSante's Compliance Officer of any concerns raised. BioSante's President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Simes, currently serves as Compliance Officer. If an employee prefers not to discuss a particular matter with his or her own supervisor, the employee may instead discuss such matter with BioSante's Compliance Officer. If an individual prefers not to discuss a matter with the Compliance Officer or if the Compliance Officer is unavailable and the matter is urgent, the individual is encouraged to contact the chairman of BioSante's audit and finance committee, Fred Holubow.


Process Regarding Stockholder Communications with Board of Directors

        BioSante stockholders may communicate with the BioSante board of directors or any one particular director by sending correspondence, addressed to BioSante's Corporate Secretary, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 111 Barclay Boulevard, Suite 400, Lincolnshire, IL 60069, with an instruction to forward the communication to the BioSante board of directors or one or more particular directors. BioSante's Corporate Secretary will forward promptly all such stockholder communications to the BioSante board of directors or the one or more particular directors, with the exception of any advertisements, solicitations for periodical or other subscriptions and other similar communications.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires BioSante's directors and executive officers and all persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of BioSante common stock. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners also are required to furnish BioSante with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To BioSante's knowledge, based on review of the copies of such reports and amendments to such reports furnished to BioSante with respect to the year ended December 31, 2012, and based on written representations by BioSante's directors and executive officers, all required Section 16 reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for BioSante's directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of greater than 10 percent of BioSante common stock were filed on a timely basis during the year ended December 31, 2012.

BIOSANTE'S EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, or CD&A, BioSante describes the key principles and approaches it uses to determine elements of compensation paid to, awarded to and earned by the following named executive officers, whose compensation is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table found later in this joint proxy statement/prospectus:

    Stephen M. Simes, who serves as BioSante's Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, or "CEO";

    Phillip B. Donenberg, who serves as BioSante's Senior Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, or "CFO"; and

    Michael C. Snabes, M.D., Ph.D., who previously served as BioSante's Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs.

        This CD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying compensation tables, corresponding notes and narrative discussion, as they provide additional information and context to BioSante's compensation disclosures.

Key 2012 and Recent Compensation-Related Actions

        During 2012, BioSante took a number of actions that supported BioSante's executive compensation philosophy and objective of ensuring that BioSante's executive compensation program reinforces pay for performance, is market competitive in order to attract and retain key employees and is aligned with the interests of BioSante stockholders.

    BioSante's compensation committee consulted with an independent compensation consultant, Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company, to provide advice to BioSante's compensation committee with respect to executive compensation, and during 2011, at the request of the compensation committee, Radford recommended a peer group of companies, collected relevant market data from these companies to allow the compensation committee to compare elements of BioSante's compensation program to those of BioSante's peers, provided information on executive compensation trends and implications for BioSante and made other recommendations to BioSante's compensation committee regarding certain aspects of BioSante's executive compensation program.

    In light of the results of BioSante's two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials and in the interests of conserving cash, BioSante froze the base salaries of all executives and other employees for 2012.

    In light of changes in BioSante's corporate strategy during 2012, BioSante did not establish formal bonus goals under its annual performance incentive plan in the beginning of 2012 or otherwise, as is permitted under the annual performance incentive plan. However, in accordance with the terms of the performance incentive plan which allows for flexibility and discretion by the compensation committee and the Board, in February 2013, after reviewing recent accomplishments of BioSante's management team, not relating to the pending merger with ANI, including in particular the sale of the GVAX cancer vaccines to Aduro BioTech, the amendment to the license and development agreement with Teva and other developments with respect to LibiGel, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, awarded annual cash bonuses to BioSante's executive and other officers, although such bonuses amounted to less than, and in some cases substantially less than, target bonuses under BioSante's annual performance incentive plan.

    At BioSante's 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, BioSante stockholders had the opportunity to provide an advisory vote on the compensation paid to BioSante's named executive officers, or

211


Table of Contents

      a "say-on-pay" vote. Approximately 67 percent of the votes cast by BioSante stockholders were in favor of the "say-on-pay" vote. While the compensation committee believes that such results generally affirmed stockholder support of BioSante's approach to executive compensation and did not make any significant changes to BioSante's executive compensation program solely in response to the vote, the compensation committee, nonetheless, has kept and intends to continue to keep a watchful eye on BioSante's executive compensation program in order to ensure that it reinforces pay for performance, is market competitive in order to attract and retain key employees and is aligned with the interests of BioSante stockholders.

    At BioSante's 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, BioSante stockholders had the opportunity to provide an advisory vote on the frequency with which they believed BioSante should hold a say-on-pay vote. In response to the voting results for the frequency of the say-on-pay vote, in which the frequency of a say-on-pay vote every three years received the highest number of votes, BioSante intends to provide BioSante stockholders with the opportunity to provide a say-on-pay advisory vote every three years until the next required vote on the frequency of a say-on-pay vote.

Compensation Best Practices

        BioSante maintains certain compensation best practices, which support BioSante's executive compensation objectives and philosophy, as well as benefit BioSante stockholders. Some of these practices include the following:

    BioSante ties compensation directly to performance. Payouts under BioSante's performance incentive plan typically are based on pre-determined corporate and individual performance goals. For BioSante's performance incentive plan payouts, BioSante requires that certain minimum threshold levels of performance be met in order for there to be a payout, and even if maximum levels of performance are exceeded, BioSante's performance incentive plan payouts are capped at 150 percent of target. As mentioned above, and as is permitted under BioSante's annual performance incentive plan in light of changes in BioSante's corporate strategy during 2012, BioSante did not establish formal bonus goals under its performance incentive plan in the beginning of 2012 or otherwise. However, in accordance with the terms of the performance incentive plan which allows for flexibility and discretion by the compensation committee and the Board, in February 2013, after reviewing recent accomplishments of BioSante's management team, not relating to the pending merger with ANI, including in particular the sale of the GVAX cancer vaccines to Aduro BioTech, the amendment to the license and development agreement with Teva and other developments with respect to LibiGel, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, awarded annual cash bonuses to BioSante's executive and other officers, although such bonuses amounted to less than and, in some cases substantially less than, target bonuses under BioSante's annual performance incentive plan.

    A significant portion of BioSante's executives' compensation is typically "performance-based" or "at risk."

    Value received under BioSante's long-term equity-based incentive awards is tied to four-year vesting and any value received by BioSante's executives from stock option grants is contingent upon long-term stock price performance in that the stock options only have value if the price of BioSante common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

    Although BioSante does not have any detailed stock retention or ownership guidelines, the Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Standards that address ownership of BioSante common stock by BioSante's executives and which encourage BioSante's executives to have a financial stake in BioSante in order to align the interests of BioSante stockholders and management.

212


Table of Contents

    BioSante's stock incentive plan and related award agreements include a "clawback" mechanism, which gives BioSante the right to cancel an executive's stock awards and require the executive to surrender and return to BioSante any profit from such awards if the executive engages in certain acts of wrongdoing.

    BioSante does not provide tax "gross up" payments under BioSante's employment agreements or in connection with any other compensation, benefits or perquisites provided to BioSante's executives, with the exception of payment of taxes associated with reimbursements for supplemental life insurance and excess long-term disability insurance premiums to BioSante's CEO and CFO which amounted to approximately $7,000 for BioSante's CEO and CFO in 2012.

    BioSante provides only limited and immaterial perquisites to BioSante's executives as described under "—Executive Compensation Components—All Other Compensation."

Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

        BioSante's executive compensation program is designed to:

    Attract and retain executives important to the success of BioSante and the creation of value for BioSante stockholders;

    Motivate BioSante's executives to achieve company and individual performance objectives and create stockholder value; and

    Reward BioSante's executives for the achievement of company and individual performance objectives, the creation of stockholder value in the short and long term and their contributions, in general, to the success of BioSante.

        In order to achieve these objectives, the compensation committee and the Board of Directors make compensation decisions based on the following philosophy and principles:

    BioSante favors having a significant component of compensation tied to the achievement of corporate and individual goals over solely fixed compensation.

    BioSante seeks to reward achievement of key corporate goals that create value for BioSante stockholders, such as successful clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals for BioSante's products, executing in-licensing and out-licensing agreements, entering into strategic relationships to develop, market and sell BioSante's products and raising additional financing on terms favorable to BioSante.

    A greater percentage of total compensation should be tied to performance, and therefore at risk, as position and responsibility increases. Individuals, such as BioSante's executives, with greater roles and responsibilities associated with achieving BioSante's objectives should bear a greater proportion of the risk if those objectives are not achieved than other employees and should receive a greater proportion of the reward if objectives are met or surpassed.

    BioSante seeks to align the interests of BioSante's executives with the interests of BioSante stockholders through the use of long-term, equity-based incentive compensation in the form of stock options and further emphasized through change in control arrangements which are designed to provide financial motivation to BioSante's executives to complete a transaction that the Board of Directors believes is in the best interests of BioSante stockholders.

How BioSante Determines Compensation

        In order to implement effectively BioSante's compensation objectives and philosophy, there are several individuals and groups of individuals involved in making executive compensation decisions. These individuals and groups and their roles are described briefly below.

213


Table of Contents

        Role of Compensation Committee and Board.     The responsibilities of BioSante's compensation committee include recommending to the Board of Directors, for its determination, the annual salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation, special or supplemental benefits or perquisites and any and all other compensation applicable to BioSante's CEO and other executive officers; reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding any revisions to corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for BioSante's CEO and other executive officers and establishing and leading a process for the full Board of Directors to evaluate the performance of BioSante's CEO and other executive officers in light of those goals and objectives. Typically, the compensation committee makes recommendations and the Board of Directors approves such recommendations.

        In setting or recommending executive compensation for BioSante's named executive officers and other officers, the compensation committee considers the following primary factors:

    each executive's position within the company and the level of responsibility;

    the ability of the executive to affect key business initiatives;

    the executive's individual experience and qualifications;

    compensation paid to executives of comparable positions by companies similar to BioSante;

    company performance, generally and as compared to specific goals;

    individual performance, generally and as compared to specific goals;

    the executive's current and historical compensation levels;

    recommendations of BioSante's CEO;

    advancement potential and succession planning considerations;

    an assessment of the risk that the executive would leave BioSante and the harm to BioSante's business initiatives if the executive left;

    the retention value of executive equity holdings, including outstanding stock options; and

    the dilutive effect on BioSante stockholders of long-term equity-based incentive awards; and

    BioSante's cash position and anticipated ability to raise any necessary additional financing.

        The significance of any individual factor described above in setting executive compensation will vary from year to year and may vary among BioSante's executives. In making recommendations and decisions regarding the form and amount of compensation to be paid to BioSante's named executive officers (other than BioSante's CEO) and other officers, BioSante's compensation committee considers and gives weight to the recommendations of BioSante's CEO recognizing that due to his reporting and otherwise close relationship with each executive, the CEO often is in a better position than the compensation committee to evaluate the performance of each executive (other than himself). In making recommendations and decisions regarding the form and amount of compensation to be paid to BioSante's CEO, the compensation committee considers the recommendation of the CEO with respect to his own compensation and the compensation committee's own assessment of the CEO's annual performance and input from BioSante's other Board members. The compensation committee meets in executive session with its independent compensation consultant and counsel without the presence of the CEO or any executive or employee of BioSante regularly and makes all compensation decisions without the presence of the CEO or any executive or employee of BioSante. In making final executive compensation decisions, the Board of Directors typically accepts and approves the recommendations of the compensation committee and makes any such decision without the presence of the CEO or any executive or employee of BioSante.

214


Table of Contents

        Role of Management.     BioSante's CEO assists BioSante's compensation committee primarily by making formal recommendations regarding the amount and type of compensation to be paid to BioSante's executives (including himself). In making such recommendations, BioSante's CEO considers many of the same factors listed above that the compensation committee considers in setting or recommending executive compensation, including in particular an assessment of each executive's annual performance and the executive's achievement of his or her pre-established individual performance goals established in connection with BioSante's performance incentive plan described below. Final deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation to be paid to each of BioSante's executives, however, are made by BioSante's Board of Directors and Compensation Committee without the presence of the CEO or any of the executives.

        Role of Consultant.     BioSante's compensation committee has retained the services of Radford to provide advice with respect to executive compensation. Radford was engaged directly by BioSante's compensation committee and did not advise BioSante's management and only worked with management with the express permission of the compensation committee. Radford did not provide any services to BioSante other than those for which it was retained by the compensation committee.

        Although Radford's role during 2012 was much more limited than in prior years, Radford's engagement by the compensation committee typically includes reviewing and advising on all significant aspects of executive compensation. This includes base salaries, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives for BioSante's executive and other officers, and cash compensation and long-term equity incentives for BioSante's non-employee directors. In so doing, at the request of the compensation committee, Radford typically recommends a peer group of companies, collects relevant market data from these companies to allow the compensation committee to compare elements of BioSante's compensation program to those of BioSante's peers, provides information on executive compensation trends and implications for BioSante and makes other recommendations to the compensation committee regarding certain aspects of BioSante's executive compensation program. BioSante's CEO, the chair of BioSante's compensation committee and BioSante's outside legal counsel typically regularly consult with representatives of Radford prior to Compensation Committee meetings. A representative of Radford periodically attends meetings of BioSante's compensation committee. In making recommendations and decisions regarding the form and amount of compensation to be paid to BioSante's executives, BioSante's compensation committee considers the information gathered by and recommendations of Radford. The compensation committee values especially Radford's benchmarking information and input regarding best practices and trends in executive compensation matters, especially with respect to small public companies in the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industry.

        Use of Peer Group Data.     To assist BioSante's compensation committee and Board of Directors in determining appropriate levels of compensation for certain elements of BioSante's executive compensation program, BioSante's compensation committee reviews typically annually the compensation levels of BioSante's named executive officers and other officers against the compensation levels of comparable positions with companies similar to BioSante in terms of products, revenue, market capitalization and number of employees. The elements of BioSante's executive compensation program to which the compensation committee "benchmarks" or uses to base or justify a compensation decision or to structure a framework for compensating executives include base salary, short-term cash incentive opportunity and long-term equity incentives. With respect to other elements of BioSante's executive compensation program, such as perquisites, severance and change in control arrangements, BioSante's compensation committee benchmarks these elements on a periodic or as needed basis and in some cases uses peer group or market data more as a "market check" after determining the compensation on some other basis.

        The compensation committee believes that compensation paid by peer group companies is representative of the compensation required to attract, retain and motivate BioSante's executive talent. BioSante's compensation committee believes that use of a peer group provides more relevant

215


Table of Contents

comparisons for purposes of benchmarking than broader survey data since the compensation committee believes that the compensation paid by the peer companies which are in the same business, with similar products and operations, and with revenue and market capitalization in a range similar to ours is typically more representative than broader survey data.

        In November 2010, Radford worked with BioSante's compensation committee to identify a peer group of 20 other publicly-held life science companies in late stage clinical development, with market capitalizations, revenues and organization sizes similar to BioSante. Almost all of the members of BioSante's peer group at the time the peer group was created had a market capitalization between $50 million and $450 million, revenue of less than $125 million and an organization size of under 300 employees. The compensation committee used this information to assist it in determining the amount of base salary, target annual incentive compensation, target total compensation and the form and amount of long-term equity-based incentive compensation to pay BioSante's executives during 2011 and 2012. BioSante used the same peer group for purposes of analyzing BioSante's director compensation program in 2011 and 2012.

        The companies in the peer group included:

Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Antares Pharma, Inc.   Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc.
Curis, Inc.   Cytokinetics, Incorporated   CytRx Corporation
Dyax Corp.   GTx, Inc.   Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Ista Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated   NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Omeros Corporation
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Oncothyreon Inc.   Pozen Inc.
Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.    

        In light of the fact that base salaries for BioSante's executive officers and employees were frozen in January 2012 and in order to conserve cash resources, the compensation committee did not request Radford to update the benchmarking data in 2012.

        In reviewing benchmarking data, the compensation committee recognizes that benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of BioSante's business and objectives that may be unique to BioSante. Nevertheless, the compensation committee believes that gathering this information is an important part of its compensation-related decision-making process. The compensation committee believes that compensation paid by peer group companies is representative of the compensation required to attract, retain and motivate BioSante's executive talent. However, where a sufficient basis for comparison does not exist between the peer group data and an executive, the compensation committee gives less weight to the peer group data. For example, relative compensation benchmarking analysis does not consider individual specific performance or experience or other case-by-case factors that may be relevant in hiring or retaining a particular executive.

        Market Positioning.     The compensation committee targets base salary, target total cash compensation and target total direct compensation at the 50 th  percentile of companies in BioSante's peer group. The compensation committee believes that median positioning attracts and retains executive talent, but at the same time recognizes BioSante's cost structure, especially with respect to fixed base compensation. The actual target compensation for each individual executive may be higher or lower than the targeted market position based on the individual's skills, experience, contribution, performance, tenure or other factors that the compensation committee may take into account that are relevant to the individual executive.

Executive Compensation Components

        The principal elements of BioSante's executive compensation program for 2012 were:

    base salary;

    short-term cash incentive compensation;

    long-term equity-based incentive compensation, in the form of stock options; and

    other compensation arrangements, such as benefits made generally available to BioSante's other employees, limited executive benefits and perquisites, and severance and change in control arrangements.

        In determining the form of compensation to pay BioSante's named executive officers and other officers, the compensation committee views these elements of BioSante's executive compensation program as related but distinct. The compensation committee does not believe that significant compensation derived by an executive from one element of BioSante's compensation program should necessarily result in a reduction in the amount of compensation the executive receives from other elements. At the same time, the compensation committee does not believe that minimal compensation derived from one element of compensation should result necessarily in an increase in the amount the executive should receive from one or more other elements of compensation.

        Except as described below, the compensation committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of non-cash compensation. However, the compensation committee's philosophy is to make a greater percentage of an executive's compensation performance-based, and therefore at risk, as the executive's position and responsibility increases given the influence more senior level executives generally have on company performance. Thus, individuals with greater roles and responsibilities associated with achieving BioSante's objectives should bear a greater proportion of the risk if those goals are not achieved and should receive a greater proportion of the reward if objectives are met or surpassed. For example, this philosophy is illustrated by the higher cash incentive targets and equity-based awards of BioSante's CEO as compared to BioSante's other two named executive officers.

Base Salary

        BioSante provides a base salary for BioSante's named executive officers and other officers, which, unlike some of the other elements of BioSante's executive compensation program, is not subject to company or individual performance risk. BioSante recognizes the need for most executives to receive at least a portion of their total compensation in the form of a guaranteed base salary that is paid in cash semi-monthly throughout the year.

        BioSante initially fixes base salaries for BioSante's executives at a level BioSante believes enables BioSante to hire and retain them in a competitive environment and to reward satisfactory individual performance and a satisfactory level of contribution to BioSante's overall business objectives. BioSante typically increases the base salaries of its executives in the beginning of each year in an amount equal to an approximate cost of living adjustment. BioSante does so to recognize annual increases in the cost of living and to ensure that its base salaries remain market competitive. In addition, BioSante may make additional upward adjustments to a particular executive's base salary to compensate an executive for assuming increased roles and responsibilities, to reward an executive for superior individual performance, to retain an executive at risk of recruitment by other companies, and/or to bring an executive's base salary closer to the 50 th  percentile of companies in BioSante's peer group.

        The table below shows the base salaries for BioSante's named executive officers for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the percentage increases between periods:

Dr. Snabes

    376,000     376,000     0.0 %   376,000     376,000     0.0 %

        In January 2012, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, determined base salaries for 2012. Although BioSante believes its two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials were well executed and completed in a timely fashion, in light of the results of those trials and in the interests of conserving cash, no merit or other increases were made to the base salaries of any of BioSante's executives or other employees.

        In 2011, when the base salaries of BioSante's named executive officers were last increased, Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's base salaries were between the peer 25 th  and 50 th  percentile and Dr. Snabes's base salary was above the peer 75 th  percentile. Since his initial hiring as an executive of BioSante, Dr. Snabes's base salary had been above market primarily because of his historical compensation prior to BioSante hiring him as an executive and his background and experience as a medical doctor.

Short-Term Cash Incentive Compensation

        BioSante's short-term cash incentive compensation is intended to be paid as an annual bonus or payout under BioSante's performance incentive plan. Under the terms of BioSante's performance incentive plan, each participant, including BioSante's executive officers, is eligible to earn a bonus based primarily on the achievement of corporate and individual performance goals that may be achieved over a period of time (e.g., during a calendar year). The performance incentive plan is designed to reward eligible employees for achieving certain corporate and individual performance goals and to align closely their accomplishments with the interests of BioSante stockholders.

        Each participant has an annual incentive target bonus under the plan, expressed as a percentage of his or her annual base salary. Each participant's target bonus percentage is based on the individual's position and level of responsibility within the company. Each participant's payout under the performance incentive plan is determined by multiplying the participant's annual incentive target bonus amount (the participant's target bonus percentage times his or her annual base salary) by a payout percentage equal to between 0 percent and 150 percent and determined based primarily on the achievement of corporate and, in most cases, individual performance goals. The maximum payout percentage is 150 percent and the minimum threshold payout percentage is 50 percent, with no payout for performance below the minimum threshold payout percentage of 50 percent.

        To determine payouts, all corporate and individual performance goals typically are rated (on a scale from one to five with a rating of three representing target or "on plan" performance) and then weighted based on relative importance in order to obtain a weighted performance rating for each goal. All weighted performance ratings typically are added together to obtain an overall rating for each executive. An aggregate average for all of the goals must meet at least a 1.5 to meet the minimum 50 percent payout threshold. Increments between rating levels are interpolated on a linear basis to determine an actual incentive percentage. For example, an overall rating of 3.5 equaled a 112.5 percent incentive percentage. For each executive, the actual incentive percentage was multiplied by the target bonus percentage to calculate the award. For example, a 112.5 percent actual incentive percentage times 50 percent target bonus equaled an award of 56.3 percent of base salary.

        Annual Incentive Targets.     The annual incentive target for each named executive officer under the plan is set forth in the table below, as well as the threshold, target and maximum annual bonus opportunity.

 
   
  Annual Bonus Opportunity for Each Executive  
Named Executive Officer
  Annual Incentive Target
(% of Base Salary)
  Threshold (50%)   Target (100%)   Maximum (150%)  

Mr. Simes

    60 % $ 149,010   $ 298,020   $ 447,030  

Mr. Donenberg

    40 %   61,600     123,200     184,800  

Dr. Snabes

    40 %   75,200     150,400     225,600  

        Consistent with BioSante's philosophy that executives with greater roles and responsibilities associated with achieving BioSante's performance objectives should bear a greater proportion of the risk that those objectives are not achieved and should receive a greater proportion of the reward if the objectives are met or surpassed, BioSante's CEO has the highest annual incentive target and BioSante's two Senior Vice Presidents have the next highest annual incentive targets. Based on an executive compensation analysis by Radford in November 2010, the annual incentive targets of all of BioSante's executive officers are at the 50 th  percentile of comparable positions of companies in BioSante's peer group, which is consistent with BioSante's philosophy that BioSante target total cash compensation and target total direct compensation at the 50 th  percentile of companies in BioSante's peer group, except in the case of Dr. Snabes, whose incentive target was at the 75 th  percentile compared to the incentive targets of executives with comparable positions at companies in BioSante's peer group. At the recommendation of Radford, the compensation committee set Dr. Snabes's target bonus percentage at the same level as Mr. Donenberg's since both executives are Senior Vice Presidents and the compensation committee believes that positions of similar scope and impact should have the same pay-at-risk as a percent of salary.

        In setting the annual incentive targets for BioSante's named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the resulting target total cash compensation (sum of annual base salary and target annual cash incentive award) and the comparison to the peer 50th percentile. Mr. Simes's target total cash compensation was slightly above the peer 50 th  percentile and Mr. Donenberg's target total cash compensation was slightly below the peer 50 th  percentile. Dr. Snabes's target total cash compensation was significantly above the peer 50 th  percentile because as previously discussed, both Dr. Snabes's base salary and incentive target was more aligned with the 75 th  percentile than the 50 th  percentile based on his prior experience and compensation when joining BioSante.

        Performance Goals.     In light of changes in BioSante's corporate strategy during 2012, BioSante did not establish formal performance goals under its performance incentive plan for 2012.

        2012 Payouts.     In light of changes in BioSante's corporate strategy during 2012, BioSante did not establish formal bonus goals under its annual performance incentive plan in the beginning of 2012 or otherwise, as is permitted under the annual performance incentive plan. However, in accordance with the terms of the performance incentive plan which allows for some flexibility and discretion, in February 2013, after reviewing recent accomplishments of BioSante's management team, not relating to the pending merger with ANI, including in particular the sale of the GVAX cancer vaccines to Aduro BioTech, the amendment to the license and development agreement with Teva and other developments with respect to LibiGel, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, awarded annual cash bonuses to BioSante's executive and other officers. The amount of the bonuses ranged from $25,000 to $200,000 and, in the case of each executive, amounted to less than, and in some cases substantially less than, target bonuses under the performance incentive plan. The bonuses to be paid to BioSante's named executive officers are as follows: Stephen M. Simes, vice chairman, president and chief executive officer ($200,000); and Phillip B. Donenberg, senior vice president of finance, chief financial officer and secretary ($100,000). The amount of the bonuses was determined by

219


Table of Contents

the compensation committee based on its determination as to each executive's individual efforts with respect to the specific accomplishments upon which the bonuses were paid. Although the bonuses are not being paid in connection with BioSante's merger transaction with ANI or as a result of the merger, the bonuses will not be paid until shortly before completion of the merger and under the terms of the merger agreement with ANI may be reduced under certain circumstances.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Compensation

        Although BioSante does not have any detailed stock retention or ownership guidelines, the Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Standards that address ownership of BioSante common stock by BioSante's executives and which encourage BioSante's executives to have a financial stake in BioSante in order to align the interests of BioSante stockholders and management. BioSante's compensation committee's primary objectives with respect to long-term equity-based incentives are to align the long-term interests of BioSante's executives with the long-term interests of BioSante stockholders by creating a strong and direct linkage between compensation and long-term stockholder return, promote stock ownership and create significant incentives for retention. Long-term equity-based incentives typically comprise a significant portion of each named executive officer's compensation package, consistent with BioSante's executive compensation philosophy discussed above. For 2012, equity-based compensation comprised 36.6 percent of the total compensation for BioSante's CEO, 25.5 percent and 17.1 percent of the total compensation for BioSante's other two named executive officers, assuming grant date fair value for equity awards. For 2011, equity-based compensation comprised 45.4 percent of the total compensation for BioSante's CEO, 38.7 percent and 20.7 percent of the total compensation for BioSante's other two named executive officers, assuming grant date fair value for equity awards.

        BioSante grants all of BioSante's equity-based incentive awards, which are in the form of stock options, to BioSante's executives, as well as BioSante's other employees and directors, under BioSante's stockholder-approved stock incentive plan. For more information concerning the terms of BioSante's stock incentive plan, see "Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan." All equity-based incentive awards granted to BioSante's named executive officers during 2012 were made under BioSante's stock incentive plan.

        An important objective of BioSante's long-term incentive compensation is to strengthen the relationship between the long-term value of the price of BioSante common stock and the potential financial gain for employees. BioSante believes that stock options are an important part of BioSante's overall compensation program. BioSante believes that options effectively incentivize BioSante's employees to maximize BioSante performance, as the value of awards is directly tied to an appreciation in the value of BioSante common stock, and provide an effective retention mechanism as a result of the applicable vesting mechanics of the options.

        Stock options provide recipients with the opportunity to purchase BioSante common stock at a price fixed on the grant date regardless of future market price. The vesting of BioSante's stock options is generally time-based and vest in four as nearly equal as possible annual installments. BioSante's policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to 100 percent of the fair market value of BioSante common stock on the grant date. A stock option becomes valuable for an employee only if the per share price of BioSante common stock increases above the per share exercise price of the option and the holder of the option remains employed during the period required for the option to vest. This provides an incentive for an option holder to remain employed by BioSante. In addition, stock options link a portion of an employee's compensation to the interests of BioSante stockholders by providing an incentive to achieve corporate goals and increase the market price of BioSante common stock over the four-year vesting period. However, unless the price of BioSante common stock increases after the stock option grants are made, they deliver no value to the option holders. As of December 31, 2012, all of BioSante's outstanding options held by its named executive officers were

220


Table of Contents

"out-of-the-money" meaning that the per share exercise prices of the options exceed the per share market value of BioSante common stock.

        BioSante generally grants "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in order to provide BioSante's executives and other employees the additional tax benefit associated with incentive stock options, which BioSante believes as a result of BioSante's net loss position outweighs BioSante's interest in obtaining the federal corporate income tax deduction which would be available if BioSante granted non-statutory stock options.

        In determining the number of stock options to grant BioSante's executives, the compensation committee typically targets long-term incentive values and grants as a percent of company at the peer 50 th  percentile and a reasonable annual gross burn rate.

        The table below describes the stock option grants made to BioSante's named executive officers in 2012 and the grant date fair value of such grants. All BioSante share and per share numbers have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split effected on June 1, 2012.

All of the stock options granted to the named executive officers in 2012 were "out-of-the-money" as of December 31, 2012 since the exercise price of such options exceeded the fair market value of BioSante common stock as of such date.

        Despite the fact that both Mr. Donenberg and Dr. Snabes were Senior Vice Presidents, the compensation committee believed that Mr. Donenberg deserved a larger stock option grant than Dr. Snabes in light of Mr. Donenberg's long history with and dedication and loyalty to the company.

        Additional information concerning the long-term incentive compensation information for BioSante's named executive officers for 2012 is included in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table later in this report.

        Target Total Direct Compensation.     As described previously, when analyzing compensation, BioSante typically looks at base salary, target total cash compensation and target total direct compensation in comparison to the peer 50th percentile when establishing new base salary levels, target annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive awards in the form of stock option grants. As discussed above, actual value realized from long-term incentive awards in the form of stock option grants is dependent on BioSante's stock price at the time of exercise. Therefore, it is difficult to assess actual total direct compensation on an annual basis in comparison to the market since the market data may have changed significantly when actual long-term incentive results are fully realized if such long-term incentive results are ever fully realized. For example, all of the stock options granted to the named executive officers in 2012 were "out-of-the-money" as of December 31, 2012 since the exercise price of such options exceeded the fair market value of BioSante common stock as of such date. Nonetheless, BioSante believes it is important to continue to review target total direct compensation when granting long-term incentive awards. The target total direct compensation (including the

supporting data) for BioSante's named executive officers for 2012 and its position relative to the peer 50th percentile is reflected in the table below for each named executive officer.

All of the 2012 target long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, granted to the named executive officers in 2012 were "out-of-the-money" as of December 31, 2012 since the exercise price of such options exceeded the fair market value of BioSante common stock as of such date.

All Other Compensation

        Perquisites and Other Benefits.     It is generally BioSante's policy not to extend perquisites and other benefits to BioSante's executive officers that generally are not available to all of BioSante's employees. The only perquisites that BioSante provides to its executives are those that are required under the terms of their employment letter and offer letter agreements. Each of BioSante's executives receives a monthly auto allowance. In addition, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg receive reimbursement for supplemental life insurance and excess long-term disability insurance premiums and taxes associated with the premiums. BioSante is required to provide these benefits to these executives under their employment letter and offer letter agreements. BioSante believes the cost of providing these benefits is not material. BioSante's executives also receive benefits, which are received by BioSante's other employees, including 401(k) matching contributions, health, dental and life insurance benefits, and reimbursement for certain minimal health club costs ($50/month) to encourage physical activity and good health. BioSante does not provide supplemental retirement benefits, pension arrangements or post-retirement health coverage for its employees, including its executives. BioSante also does not provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans.

        Change in Control Arrangements.     To encourage continuity, stability and retention when considering the potential disruptive impact of an actual or potential corporate transaction, BioSante has established change in control arrangements, including provisions in BioSante's stock incentive plan, written employment and other agreements with its executives and other key employees and officer and broad-based plans and policies, to incentivize its executives and other employees to remain with BioSante in the event of a change in control or potential change in control. Pursuant to the terms of BioSante's stock incentive plan and the individual agreements provided to recipients of awards under that plan, all stock options under the plan become immediately vested and exercisable upon the completion of a change in control of BioSante. Thus, the immediate vesting of stock options is triggered by the change in control, itself, and thus is known as a "single trigger" change in control arrangement. BioSante believes its "single trigger" equity acceleration change in control arrangements provide important retention incentives during what can often be an uncertain time for employees and provide executives with additional monetary motivation to focus on and complete a transaction that the Board of Directors believes is in the best interests of BioSante stockholders rather than seeking new employment opportunities. If an executive were to leave prior to the completion of the change in control, non-vested options held by the executive would terminate. These arrangements have not changed since 2008. In light of the fact, however, that all of the options currently held by BioSante's executives are "out-of-the-money," BioSante's single trigger equity acceleration arrangements have little retentive effect in connection with BioSante's proposed merger with ANI.

222


Table of Contents

        In addition, BioSante has entered into employment and other agreements with its named executive officers and other officers and has adopted an officer severance policy that requires BioSante to provide its executives certain payments and benefits in the event of a change in control, most of which are payable only in the event their employment is terminated in connection with the change in control. These change in control protections were initially offered to induce the executives to accept or continue employment with BioSante and are primarily intended to retain BioSante's executives and to provide continuity of management in connection with a threatened or actual change in control transaction.

        These arrangements, and a quantification of the payment and benefits provided under these arrangements, are described in more detail under the heading "Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Change in Control Arrangements." Other than the immediate acceleration of equity-based awards which is intended to align BioSante's executives' interests with those of BioSante stockholders by allowing executives to participate fully in the benefits of a change in control as to all of their equity, in order for BioSante's named executive officers to receive any other payments or benefits as a result of a change in control of BioSante, there must be a termination of the executive's employment, in most cases, either by BioSante without cause or by the executive for good reason. The termination of the executive's employment by the executive without good reason will not give rise to additional payments or benefits either in a change in control situation or otherwise. Thus, these additional payments and benefits will not just be triggered by a change in control, but also will require a termination event not within the control of the executive, and thus are known as "double trigger" change in control arrangements. As opposed to the immediate acceleration of equity-based awards, BioSante believes that other change in control payments and benefits should properly be tied to termination following a change in control, given the intent that these amounts provide economic security to ease in the executive's transition to new employment. Unlike the change in control arrangements for BioSante's other executive and other officers and employees, the employment agreements for Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg contain a limited "modified single trigger" provision, which gives these two executives the right to terminate their employment for any reason during the 13th month after the completion of a change in control and receive their severance benefits. These employment agreements were put in place in connection the hiring of these executives in 1998 and have not been amended since July 2008. The compensation committee believes that such provisions are appropriate for Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg in light of their history with the company and long-standing dedication and service to the company.

        BioSante believes that BioSante's change in control arrangements are an important part of BioSante's executive compensation program. BioSante believes that these arrangements mitigate some of the risk that exists for executives working in a smaller company, where there is a meaningful likelihood that the company may be acquired. These arrangements are intended to attract and retain qualified executives who may have employment alternatives that may appear to them, in light of a possible change in control of BioSante, to be less risky absent these arrangements. BioSante believes that relative to BioSante's overall value, BioSante's potential change in control benefits are relatively minor. BioSante confirms this belief by reviewing annually the change in control and severance benefits potentially payable to each executive. BioSante also believes that the form and amount of such benefits are reasonable in light of those provided to executives by companies in BioSante's peer group and other companies with which BioSante competes for executive talent and the amount of time typically required to find executive employment opportunities. Therefore, BioSante believes BioSante must continue to offer such protections in order to remain competitive in attracting and retaining executive talent.

        Other Severance Arrangements.     Each of BioSante's named executive officers and other officers is entitled to receive severance benefits upon certain other qualifying terminations of employment, other than a change in control, pursuant to the provisions of such executive's employment agreement, or in the case of Dr. Snabes, BioSante's officer severance policy since the severance policy provides for

223


Table of Contents

greater severance benefits than Dr. Snabes was entitled to receive under his written agreement. Similar to BioSante's change in control arrangements, BioSante's other severance arrangements were initially offered to induce the executives to accept or continue employment with BioSante and are primarily intended to retain BioSante's executives. For more information on BioSante's employment agreements and severance arrangements with BioSante's named executive officers, see the discussions below under the headings "—Executive Compensation—Summary of Cash and Other Compensation" and "—Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon a Termination or Change in Control."

        Simes Employment Letter Agreement.     In January 1998, BioSante entered into an employment letter agreement with Stephen M. Simes. BioSante amended the agreement in July 2008 to ensure compliance with regulations on non-qualified deferred compensation severance benefits as mandated by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make certain changes to the change in control provisions. BioSante has not amended the agreement since July 2008. The current term of the agreement continues until December 31, 2013. On January 1 of each year, the term is automatically extended for an additional one year unless on or before October 1 immediately preceding the extension, either party gives written notice to the other of the termination of the agreement or cessation of further extensions. Under the agreement, Mr. Simes is entitled to a base salary in an amount determined by the Board of Directors, which base salary, however, must be adjusted upward each year at a minimum equal to changes in the Consumer Price Index. Mr. Simes is entitled to receive an annual discretionary performance bonus, the amount and terms of which will be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. Simes also is entitled to a monthly stipend of $1,000 for automobile use, reimbursement of premiums for supplemental term life and long-term disability

225


Table of Contents

insurance and taxes associated with such premiums and four weeks paid vacation each year. If Mr. Simes is terminated without cause or upon a change in control or if he terminates his employment for good reason, he will be entitled to certain payments and benefits as described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control." Under the agreement, Mr. Simes is subject to customary assignment of inventions, confidentiality and non-competition provisions.

        Donenberg Employment Letter Agreement.     In June 1998, BioSante entered into an employment letter agreement with Phillip B. Donenberg. BioSante amended the agreement in July 2008 to ensure compliance with regulations on non-qualified deferred compensation severance benefits as mandated by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to make certain changes to the change in control provisions. BioSante has not amended the agreement since July 2008. The term of the agreement continues until either party gives 30 days written notice to the other of the termination of the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Donenberg is entitled to a base salary in an amount determined by the Board of Directors, which base salary, however, must be adjusted upward each year at a minimum equal to changes in the Consumer Price Index. Mr. Donenberg is entitled to receive an annual discretionary performance bonus, the amount and terms of which will be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. Donenberg also is entitled to a monthly stipend of $600 for automobile use, reimbursement of premiums for supplemental term life and long-term disability insurance and taxes associated with such premiums and four weeks paid vacation each year. If Mr. Donenberg is terminated without cause or upon a change in control or if he terminates his employment for good reason, he will be entitled to certain payments and benefits as described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control." Under the agreement, Mr. Donenberg is subject to customary assignment of inventions, confidentiality and non-competition provisions.

        Snabes Offer Letter and Change of Control and Severance Agreement.     In April 2008, BioSante entered into an offer letter agreement with Michael C. Snabes, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Snabes was employed at-will and was not guaranteed employment for any specified duration. The offer letter did not contain any commitments regarding future salary increases or benefits, except for the timing of payments and a general description of benefits. Dr. Snabes was entitled to receive an annual discretionary performance bonus of up to 30 percent of his then base salary, the amount and terms of which were to be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dr. Snabes also was entitled to a monthly stipend of $600 for automobile use, reimbursement for reasonable monthly cell phone charges and 20 days paid vacation each year. Although BioSante entered into a separate change of control and severance agreement with Dr. Snabes, if Dr. Snabes was terminated without cause or upon a change in control, he was entitled to certain payments and benefits under the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Officer Severance Policy since the severance policy provided for greater severance benefits than Dr. Snabes was entitled to receive under his agreement with BioSante. On March 15, 2013, the employment of Dr. Snabes was terminated effective immediately and in connection therewith BioSante and Dr. Snabes entered into a separation agreement and release consistent with the terms of the officer severance policy, which is described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control." Dr. Snabes remains subject to customary assignment of inventions, confidentiality and non-competition obligations.

        Payout of Certain Accrued Vacation Balances.     The "Salary" column for 2010 includes $34,731, $19,885 and $26,154 paid to Mr. Simes, Mr. Donenberg and Dr. Snabes, respectively, for unused accrued vacation time. In February 2010, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, approved a one-time cash payment of certain accrued vacation balances and a corresponding change to BioSante's vacation policy that limited the number of vacation days any employee could accrue and carry over from one year to the next year. Under the terms of the payout, each of BioSante's employees, including BioSante's executives, was paid cash for the number of the

226


Table of Contents

employee's accrued vacation balance days as of December 31, 2009 that exceed the equivalent of one year's vacation for such employee (if any) multiplied by the employee's daily base rate of pay at the time of such payment. No employee, however, received payment for more than one year's vacation and each employee's accrued vacation balance was then reduced by the number of days paid out. The purpose of the accrued vacation payout was to reduce the amount of accrued vacation balances on BioSante's balance sheet and soften the impact of the change to BioSante's vacation policy limiting the number of vacation days any employee could accrue and carry over from one year to the next year.

        401(k) Savings Plan.     BioSante maintains a 401(k) Savings Plan under which all participant employees, including executive officers, may voluntarily contribute up to 100 percent of their plan compensation (subject to certain IRS limits) as pre-tax 401(k) deferrals. BioSante may make discretionary matching contributions to this plan and in 2010 BioSante made matching contributions equal to 50 percent of each participants 401(k) deferrals.

        Perquisites and Personal Benefits.     It is generally BioSante's policy not to extend perquisites and other benefits to BioSante's executive officers that generally are not available to BioSante's employees. The only perquisites that BioSante provides to its executives are those that are required under the terms of their employment letter and offer letter agreements. Each of BioSante's executives receives a monthly auto allowance. In addition, Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg receive reimbursement for supplemental life insurance and excess long-term disability insurance premiums and taxes associated with the premiums. BioSante is required to provide these benefits to BioSante's executives under their employment letter and offer letter agreements. BioSante believes the cost of providing such benefits is not material. BioSante's executives also receive benefits, which are received by BioSante's other employees, including 401(k) matching contributions, health, dental and life insurance benefits, and reimbursement for certain minimal health club costs ($50/month) to encourage physical activity and good health. BioSante does not provide supplemental retirement benefits, pension arrangements or post-retirement health coverage for its employees, including its executives. BioSante also does not provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans.

        Indemnification Agreements.     BioSante has entered into agreements with all of its named executive officers under which BioSante is required to indemnify its officers against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of BioSante's executive officers. BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the executive officer acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to BioSante's best interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the executive officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

        The table below provides information concerning grants of plan-based awards to each of BioSante's named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2012. The option awards were granted to BioSante's named executive officers under the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated). The material terms of these awards and the material plan provisions relevant to these awards are described in the notes to the table below or in the narrative following the table below. During the year ended December 31, 2012, BioSante did not grant any non-equity or equity incentive plan awards or stock awards, in each case, within the meaning of the SEC rules. All BioSante share and per share numbers have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split effected on June 1, 2012.

Represents an option granted under the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), the material terms of which are described in more detail below under the heading "—BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan." The option has a ten-year term and vests over a four-year period, with one-fourth of the underlying shares vesting on each of January 25, 2013, January 25, 2014, January 25, 2015 and January 25, 2016, so long as the individual remains an employee of BioSante as of such date.

See note (3) to the Summary Compensation Table for a discussion of the assumptions made in calculating the grant date fair value of the option awards.

        BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.     Under the terms of the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, BioSante's named executive officers, in addition to other employees and individuals, are eligible to receive equity-based incentive awards, such as stock options. Although the 2008 plan is an "omnibus" plan that permits the grant of equity-based incentive awards besides stock options, such as restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and stock bonuses, to date, only incentive and non-statutory stock options have been granted.

        The 2008 plan contains both an overall limit on the number of shares of BioSante common stock that may be issued, as well as individual and other grant limits. Under the terms of the 2008 plan, no more than 1,833,333 shares of BioSante common stock may be issued pursuant to the plan or the exercise of incentive options and no more than 250,000 shares of BioSante common stock may be issued or issuable in connection with restricted stock grants, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses, in each case subject to adjustment and certain exceptions. In addition, shares subject to outstanding awards granted under BioSante's 1998 plan also become available under the 2008 plan, but only to the extent that such outstanding awards are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without the issuance of such shares.

        Incentive stock options must be granted with a per share exercise price equal to at least the fair market value of a share of BioSante common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the 2008 plan, the fair market value of BioSante common stock is the closing sale price of BioSante common stock, as reported by The NASDAQ Stock Market. BioSante set the per share exercise price of all stock options granted under the plan at an amount equal to the closing sale price of BioSante common stock on the date of grant.

        As described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control," if there is a change in control of BioSante, then, under the terms of the 2008 plan, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee or the Board of Directors in its sole discretion either in the agreement evidencing an incentive award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of an incentive award, all options will become immediately exercisable in full and will

228


Table of Contents

remain exercisable for the remainder of their terms, regardless of whether the holder to whom such option have been granted remains in the employ or service of BioSante or any subsidiary.

        Other Information Regarding Plan-Based Awards.     Under a provision contained in Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's employment letter agreements, upon the termination of their employment by BioSante without cause, all stock options then held by them would be accelerated and all such options would become fully vested and immediately exercisable for a period of one year after the termination date, as described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control." Dr. Snabes did not have a similar provision in his offer letter agreement or change in control and severance agreement.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

        The table below provides information regarding unexercised stock option awards for each of BioSante's named executive officers that remained outstanding at December 31, 2012. BioSante did not have any equity incentive plan awards or stock awards, each within the meaning of the SEC rules, outstanding at December 31, 2012. All BioSante share and per share numbers have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split effected on June 1, 2012.

    the change in control. For more information, see the discussion under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control." Under a provision contained in Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's employment letter agreements, upon the termination of their employment by BioSante without cause, all stock options then held by them would be accelerated and all such options would become fully vested and immediately exercisable for a period of one year after the termination date, as described in more detail under the heading "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

Options Exercised and Stock Vested During Fiscal Year

        None of BioSante's named executive officers exercised any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2012. BioSante does not have any outstanding stock awards and thus did not have any stock awards vest during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

        General.     BioSante has entered into agreements with Mr. Simes, Mr. Donenberg and Dr. Snabes and BioSante maintains the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Officer Severance Policy, which require BioSante to provide certain payments to these executives upon a termination of their employment or change in control of BioSante. Whether an executive receives a payment and the amount of such payment, if applicable, depends upon the triggering event. For more information regarding the individual agreements, see the discussion under the headings "—Summary of Cash and Other Compensation—Simes Employment Letter Agreement," "—Summary of Cash and Other Compensation—Donenberg Employment Letter Agreement" and "—Summary of Cash and Other Compensation—Snabes Offer Letter and Change of Control and Severance Agreement." In addition, BioSante's equity-based compensation plans also provide benefits as a result of a change in control of BioSante.

        Separation Agreement and Release with Dr. Snabes.     On March 15, 2013, the employment of Dr. Snabes was terminated effective immediately and in connection therewith BioSante and Dr. Snabes entered into a separation agreement and release. Consistent with the terms of the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Officer Severance Policy, the separation agreement provides for the following, among other things:

    payment by BioSante of all amounts and benefits accrued but unpaid through the date of termination, including base salary, unreimbursed expenses and accrued and unused vacation;

    cash severance payments by BioSante to Dr. Snabes in an aggregate amount equal to $282,000, which is equal to nine months of his annual base salary, paid in accordance with BioSante's prevailing payroll practices, in the form of salary continuation over the next nine months;

    reasonable outplacement services for up to one year up to a maximum benefit of $15,000; and

    if timely elected, payment of COBRA continuation coverage premiums for nine months, or until Dr. Snabes has secured other employment, whichever occurs first.

230


Table of Contents

        If the prior merger transaction between BioSante and ANI was completed on or before April 12, 2013, Dr. Snabes would have been entitled to receive an additional cash severance payment of $244,400, which would have resulted in Dr. Snabes receiving his higher change in control severance payment pursuant to the terms of the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Officer Severance Policy and COBRA continuation coverage premiums for 12 months instead of nine months. The separation agreement also includes a general release of claims against BioSante by Dr. Snabes, an agreement by Dr. Snabes to comply with certain confidentiality, non-competition and other obligations.

        Termination by BioSante for Cause.     If the employment of any of BioSante's executives is terminated by BioSante for "cause," the executive would be entitled to be paid his annual base salary, car allowance and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred through the date of his termination and any amounts the executive would be entitled to under any company benefit plan. For purposes of Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's agreements, "cause" means any of the following: (1) dishonesty or fraud; (2) theft or embezzlement of BioSante's assets; (3) a violation of law involving moral turpitude; (4) repeated and willful failure to follow instructions of the Board of Directors provided that the conduct has not ceased or the offense cured within 30 days following written warning from BioSante; and (5) conviction of willfully engaging in illegal conduct constituting a felony or gross misdemeanor under federal or state law which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the company or which impairs the executive's ability to substantially perform his duties for the company. For purposes of Dr. Snabes's agreement and the officer severance policy, "cause" means any of the following: (1) dishonesty or fraud; (2) theft or embezzlement of BioSante's assets; (3) any unlawful or criminal activity of a serious nature; (4) breach of any terms of his employee confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreement; (5) failure to carry out the duties of his position in a competent manner; and (6) failure to comply with BioSante's policies and procedures. The agreements also provide that the executive must abide by certain non-competition provisions for one year after termination for cause. Under the terms of BioSante's equity-based compensation plans, if an executive's employment is terminated by BioSante for "cause," the executive's outstanding stock options will immediately terminate and may not then be exercisable.

        Termination by BioSante Without Cause.     Under the terms of each of Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's employment letter agreements, if Mr. Simes's or Mr. Donenberg's employment is terminated by BioSante without cause or if in the case of Mr. Simes, BioSante gives notice of BioSante's intent not to renew his employment agreement, the executive would be entitled to be paid his annual base salary, car allowance and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred through the date of termination. Additionally, the executives would be entitled to receive:

    a severance payment, which would be paid in one lump sum in the case of Mr. Simes, and in 12 equal monthly installments in the case of Mr. Donenberg, equal to, in the case of Mr. Simes, the sum of his annual base salary, most recent annual bonus and annual car allowance, and in the case of Mr. Donenberg, his annual base salary at the time of termination;

    continued term life and disability insurance at BioSante's expense, which, in the case of Mr. Simes, would be for a period of one year from the date of his termination or the remaining term of his agreement, whichever is longer, and in the case of Mr. Donenberg, would be for a period of one year from the date of his termination, unless in either case the executive obtains full-time employment;

    continued participation by the executive and his family at BioSante's expense in BioSante's group health and dental insurance programs, which in the case of Mr. Simes, would be for a period of one year from the date of his termination or the remaining term of his agreement, whichever is longer, and in the case of Mr. Donenberg, would be for a period of one year from the date of his termination, unless in either case the executive becomes eligible to participate in another employer's corresponding group insurance plans;

231


Table of Contents

    in the case of Mr. Simes, provision of outplacement services up to a maximum amount of $30,000 and use of an office and reasonable secretarial support for one year, unless Mr. Simes becomes otherwise employed within such period; and

    payment for all unused vacation days accrued to the date of termination.

        In addition, in the event BioSante terminates Mr. Simes's or Mr. Donenberg's employment without cause, all outstanding stock options then held by the executive at such time will become immediately exercisable and the executive will have one year from the date following his termination of employment to exercise such options.

        Termination by Executive for Good Reason.     Under the terms of each of Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's employment letter agreements, Mr. Simes or Mr. Donenberg may terminate his agreement upon 30 days written notice to BioSante for "good reason." For purposes of the agreements, "good reason" means (1) assignment of duties inconsistent with his position or a change in responsibilities, title or office; (2) the failure of BioSante to continue, or the taking of action by BioSante that could adversely affect, benefits plans in which the executive is participating (with some exceptions); (3) reduction of salary or car allowance or failure to increase salary as provided in the agreement; and (4) any other breach by BioSante of the agreement. If Mr. Simes or Mr. Donenberg terminates his agreement for good reason other than in connection with a change in control, then BioSante must provide him the payments and benefits described above under "—Termination by BioSante Without Cause." Under the terms of BioSante's equity-based compensation plans, all outstanding stock options then held by the executive at such time will remain exercisable to the extent then exercisable for a period of three months.

        Termination in the Event of Death or Permanent Disability.     Each of Mr. Simes's and Mr. Donenberg's employment letter agreements terminates in the event of the executive's death or permanent disability. In the event of death, the executive's base salary and car allowance will be terminated as of the end of the month in which the executive's death occurs. Upon an executive's "disability," BioSante can terminate the executive's employment upon 30 days written notice. For purposes of the agreements, "disability" means an inability, due to illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity, to substantially perform the executive's duties for a period of four consecutive months or for a total of six months in any 12 month period. Upon termination of an executive's employment due to disability, the executive will be entitled to receive compensation until the later of (1) the date of termination of employment for disability or (2) the date upon which the executive begins to receive long-term disability insurance benefits. In addition, in the event the executive's employment is terminated as a result of the executive's death or permanent disability, all outstanding stock options then held by the executive at such time will become immediately exercisable and the executive or his estate will have one year from the date of termination of employment to exercise such options.

        Change in Control.     Each of Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg has received stock options under the BioSante Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, which remain unvested. Under the terms of such plan, such stock options become fully exercisable following a "change in control" of BioSante, which is defined under the plan as:

    the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of BioSante to a corporation that is not controlled by BioSante;

    the approval by BioSante stockholders of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of BioSante;

    certain merger or business combination transactions;

232


Table of Contents

    more than 50 percent of BioSante's outstanding voting shares are acquired by any person or group of persons who did not own any shares of common stock on the effective date of the plan; or

    certain changes in the composition of the Board of Directors.

        In order for BioSante's executives to receive any other payments or benefits as a result of a change in control of BioSante, there must be a termination event, such as a termination by BioSante for any reason other than for cause or a termination by the executive for good reason. For Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg, such termination event must occur either within the period beginning on the date of the change in control and ending on the last day of the first full calendar month following the second year anniversary date of the change in control or prior to the change in control if the termination of employment was either a condition of the change in control or was at the request or insistence of a person related to the change in control. Dr. Snabes has the ability to terminate his employment for good reason if such termination occurs on the date of a change in control and ending on the 12 month anniversary of the date of the change in control. For purposes of the change in control provisions for Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg, the definition of "good reason" is broader than outside the context of change in control and includes: (1) BioSante's failure to obtain from any successor the assent to assume the employment letter agreements; (2) any purported termination by BioSante of the executive's employment that is not properly effected; (3) a requirement that the executive be based at any office or location that is more than 30 miles further from the office or location thereof immediately preceding the change in control; and (4) any termination by the executive of his employment for any reason during the 13th month after the completion of the change in control.

        If such a termination event occurs, the executive would be entitled to be paid his annual base salary, car allowance and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred through the date of termination. Additionally, the executive would be entitled to receive:

    a severance payment, which would be paid in one lump sum equal to, in the case of Mr. Simes, the sum of: (1) two times his annual base salary, plus (2) his most recent annual bonus, plus (3) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs, and in the case of Mr. Donenberg, the sum of: (1) 1 1 / 2 times his annual base salary, plus (2) his maximum annual bonus (100 percent of base salary) for the year in which the change in control occurs.

    in the case of Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg, substantially the same health, dental, life and disability insurance benefits the executive received prior to his termination for a period of up to 24 months for Mr. Simes, and 18 months for Mr. Donenberg;

    provision of outplacement services up to a maximum amount of $30,000;

    reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the executive on behalf of BioSante; and

    payment for all unused vacation days accrued to the date of termination.

        If any payments to an executive under the agreements or otherwise are considered contingent upon a "change in control" for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and therefore would constitute a "parachute payment" under the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments either would be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or would require the executive to pay any additional 20 percent excise tax on the amount of any parachute payment received, whichever is more beneficial to the executive.

        Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers.     The table below describes the potential payments to each of BioSante's current executives in the event of a termination of his employment on

(1)
The value of the automatic acceleration of the vesting of unvested stock options held by an executive is based on the difference between: (a) the market price of the shares of BioSante common stock underlying the unvested stock options held by such officer as of December 31, 2012, which is based on the closing sale price of BioSante common stock on December 31, 2012 ($1.23), and (b) the exercise price of the options, which range from $4.11 to $9.96 per share.

(2)
The value of the term life and disability insurance is based on BioSante's current group plans and any applicable supplemental insurance provided to such executives at the 2012 rates actually paid.

(3)
The value of the group health plan benefits is based on premium rates in effect in December 2012.

(4)
The value of office space and administration services is based on current market information for the Chicago, Illinois area received from a third party.

        Required Resignations and Releases; Confidentiality and Other Provisions.     Mr. Simes and Mr. Donenberg have agreed upon any termination of their employment to resign from any and all director, officer, trustee, agent and any other positions with BioSante or BioSante's affiliates, such as

234


Table of Contents

BioSante's employee benefit plans. In addition, certain terms of their agreements will survive any termination of their employment, including the assignment of inventions and confidentiality provisions and in the event of certain terminations, portions of the non-competition provisions. Finally, any payments made to the executives as a result of a "separation of service" under the non-qualified deferred compensation rules of Section 409A under the Internal Revenue Code will be suspended for six months, if necessary.

Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies, Practices and Programs

        BioSante's compensation committee has performed an assessment of BioSante's compensation policies, practices and programs for all of BioSante's employees, focusing in particular on incentive compensation, to determine whether the risks arising from these policies, practices and programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on BioSante. In connection with such assessment, BioSante's compensation committee reviewed and analyzed each of BioSante's material compensation policies, practices and programs, and considered various risk control features, including without limitation key design features of BioSante's performance incentive plan, including use of appropriate incentive maximums or caps (which are 150 percent of the target award); the mix of corporate and individual performance measures and goals; the mix between fixed and variable compensation and annual versus long-term performance; stock ownership by executives and non-employee directors; "clawback" provisions; and BioSante's compensation governance structure. Based on such assessment, BioSante's compensation committee concluded that BioSante's policies, practices and programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on BioSante.

        As part of BioSante's assessment, BioSante noted in particular the following:

    annual base salaries for all employees are not subject to performance risk and, for most non-executive employees, constitute the largest part of their total compensation;

    while performance-based, or at risk, compensation constitutes a significant percentage of the overall total compensation of many of BioSante's employees, including in particular BioSante's named executive officers, and thereby BioSante believes motivates its employees to help achieve corporate and individual performance goals and increase the price of BioSante common stock, the non-performance based compensation for most employees for most years is also a sufficiently high percentage of their overall total compensation that BioSante does not believe that unnecessary or excessive risk taking is encouraged by the performance-based compensation;

    BioSante's performance-based compensation has appropriate maximums;

    a significant portion of performance-based compensation of BioSante's employees is in the form of stock options which do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk because they generally vest over a four-year period of time thereby focusing BioSante's employees on BioSante's long-term interests; and

    performance-based or variable compensation awarded to BioSante's employees, which for BioSante's higher-level employees, including BioSante's named executive officers, constitutes the largest part of their total compensation, is appropriately balanced between annual and long-term performance and cash and equity compensation, and utilizes performance goals that BioSante believes are drivers of long-term success for BioSante and its stockholders.

        As a matter of best practice, BioSante will continue to monitor BioSante's compensation policies, practices and programs to ensure that they continue to align the interest of BioSante's employees, including in particular BioSante's executives, with those of BioSante's long-term stockholders while avoiding unnecessary or excessive risk.

Director Compensation

Overview of Director Compensation Program

        The BioSante board of directors has delegated to BioSante's nominating and corporate governance committee the responsibility, among other things, to establish and lead a process for the determination of compensation payable to BioSante's non-employee directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee makes recommendations regarding compensation payable to BioSante's non-employee directors to the entire BioSante board of directors, which then makes final decisions regarding such compensation. The processes and procedures the nominating and corporate governance committee and the BioSante board of directors use to consider and determine director compensation are described under the heading "BioSante's Management and Corporate Governance—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee—Processes and Procedures for Determination of Director Compensation."

        The principal elements of BioSante's director compensation program for 2012 included:

    annual cash retainers;

    meeting fees; and

    long-term equity-based incentive compensation, in the form of stock options.

        BioSante does not compensate Mr. Simes separately for serving on the BioSante board of directors. BioSante does, however, reimburse each member of the BioSante board of directors, including Mr. Simes, for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending BioSante board of directors and board committee meetings.

Cash Compensation

        The cash compensation paid to BioSante's non-employee directors consists of the following described annual board and board committee cash retainers and meeting fees.

Stock Options

        Each of BioSante's non-employee directors receives an automatic grant of options to purchase shares of BioSante common stock upon the director's initial election to the BioSante board of directors and on an annual basis on the last business day of March each year. In addition, BioSante's Chairman of the Board receives an additional automatic option grant. The options have a ten-year term and an exercise price equal to the fair market value of BioSante common stock on the grant date. The initial options vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments and the annual options vest and become exercisable in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

        The table below sets forth the number of options granted to each of BioSante's non-employee directors as initial and annual grants and the additional option grant to BioSante's Chairman of the Board. All BioSante share and per share numbers have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split effected on June 1, 2012. All future option grants to non-employee directors have been suspended pending the completion of the proposed merger with ANI.

        Under the terms of BioSante's stock option agreements, upon a director's termination of service with BioSante, other than for cause, such director's vested and outstanding options as of such date remain vested and outstanding for a period of three months and all non-vested options terminate. Depending upon the circumstances of a director's separation of service with BioSante, however, BioSante may change these terms, although any adverse change would require the consent of the director.

Indemnification Agreements

        BioSante has entered into agreements with all of its directors under which BioSante is required to indemnify directors against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of BioSante's directors. BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to BioSante's best interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

On March 30, 2012, each of BioSante's non-employee directors received an option to purchase 4,166 shares of BioSante common stock at an exercise price of $4.08 per share granted under the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, the material terms of which are described in more detail under the heading "Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan." In addition, Dr. Sullivan, as Chairman of the Board, received an option to purchase an additional 1,666 shares of BioSante common stock. Such options expire on March 29, 2022 and will vest in full on March 30, 2013. Amounts reported in the "Option Awards" column represent the aggregate grant date fair value for option awards granted to each director in 2012 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The grant date fair value is determined based on BioSante's Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant date fair value per share for the options granted on March 30, 2012 was $3.07 and was determined using the following specific assumptions: risk free interest rate: 1.04%; expected life: 5.5 years; expected volatility: 97.20%; and expected dividend yield: 0%.

ANI'S BUSINESS

Overview

        ANI is a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals. In two facilities with combined manufacturing, packaging and laboratory capacity totaling 173,000 square feet, ANI manufactures oral solid dose products, as well as liquids and topicals, including narcotics and those that must be manufactured in a fully contained environment due to their potency and/or toxicity. ANI also performs contract manufacturing for other pharmaceutical companies. ANI's targeted areas of product development include narcotics, anti-cancers and hormones (potent compounds) and extended release niche generic prescription product opportunities.

        ANI was organized as a Delaware corporation in March 2004 and is headquartered in Baudette, Minnesota. The address of ANI's main office is 210 Main Street West, Baudette, Minnesota, 56623, and the telephone number is (218) 634-3500.

        ANI acquired its two facilities in May 2007 from Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Solvay). Solvay in turn had acquired the facilities in 1986 through its purchase of Atlanta-based Reid-Rowell, Inc., after which the facilities served as Solvay's sole U.S.-based manufacturing facilities for hormone, steroid and other prescription products.

        In March 2009, ANI's leadership transitioned from founding management to a new team focused initially on stabilizing the business and then developing and executing a strategy based on ANI's prescription pharmaceutical manufacturing assets and capabilities. To that end, since the first quarter of 2009, ANI's new management team has:

    Consolidated and relocated ANI's corporate offices to its facilities in Minnesota.

    Successfully divested an over-the-counter pharmaceutical manufacturing operation in Gulfport, Mississippi in 2010 for $2.3 million. The net assets of the Gulfport operation had a carrying value of $5.8 million on the date of the sale, resulting in a loss of $3.7 million on disposal of the discontinued operation. The decision to sell the Gulfport operation was based on the historical underperformance and recurring losses at such operation and ANI's change in strategic direction to focus on the prescription pharmaceutical market.

    Implemented cost reductions and early lease terminations yielding $3.0 million in annual savings.

    Retired all third-party long-term debt and capital leases totaling $4.7 million.

    Raised over $13.5 million in capital from existing investors.

    Increased prescription product sales 40-fold through market share gains on established products, a product acquisition and new product launches.

    Developed four new contract manufacturing customer relationships.

    Established an external product development partnership to bolster the internal pipeline.

    Filed four Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and developed a pipeline of seven additional ANDAs.


Operations

        ANI's two facilities have highly specialized manufacturing capabilities as a result of capital investments by Solvay during its ownership. ANI's Baudette-based manufacturing and product development teams have successfully developed and manufactured liquid, powder and oral solid dose products, including those requiring containment. The plants have sufficient capacity, including analytical

239


Table of Contents

and stability laboratories, to expand production and substantially grow revenues. ANI can offer no assurances that it will in fact be successful in growing revenues, as multiple other factors, including those discussed in "Risk Factors—Risks Related to ANI" may impair its ability to do so.

        In addition to laboratories that support all of the requirements of raw material, finished product and stability testing, ANI has a 1,000 square foot pilot laboratory offering liquid, suspension and solid dose development capabilities. This pilot laboratory offers a full range of analytical capabilities including method development, validation and de-formulation, and is licensed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). In addition, a separate development suite located within ANI's high-potency manufacturing facility offers additional capabilities for product development.

        ANI has filed four ANDAs for products and has seven ANDAs in progress—two internal and five with development partner RiconPharma LLC (RiconPharma). RiconPharma, an experienced pharmaceutical development firm, shares in the development costs, which enables ANI to expand and diversify beyond its own suite of products. See "—Research and Development."

        Over the previous ten years, ANI has had six general inspections by the Food and Drug Administration, resulting in two 483 observations, which are observations in which, in the investigator's judgment, the observed conditions or practices indicate that an FDA-regulated product may be in violation of FDA's requirements. In addition, ANI is regularly audited by its contract manufacturing customers, including but not limited to Abbott Laboratories, JDS/Noven, Meda Pharmaceuticals and County Line Pharmaceuticals, LLC.


Mission and Strategy

        ANI's mission is to use its manufacturing assets to develop and market niche generic pharmaceuticals, focusing on opportunities in pain management (narcotics), anti-cancer (oncolytics), women's health (hormones and steroids), as well as complex formulations including extended release and combination products.

        ANI considers a variety of criteria in determining which products to develop, all of which influence the level of competition upon product launch. These criteria include:

    Formulation Difficulty.   Potent, extended release, combination and low dosage products.

    Patent Status.   Existing patent protection, if any, time remaining to patent expiration, and existing patent challenges.

    Market Size.   Current and expected market size at launch based on forecasted price erosion upon conversion from branded to generic pricing.

    Profit Potential.   Availability and cost of active pharmaceutical ingredients combined with forecasted market share.

    Manufacturing.   Ability of ANI to manufacture in company-owned facilities.

    Competition.   Existing and expected competitors.


Government Regulation

Generic Pharmaceutical Products

        Prescription pharmaceutical products in the United States are generally marketed as either branded or generic drugs. Branded products are marketed under brand names through marketing programs that are designed to generate physician and consumer loyalty. Branded products are generally patent protected, which provides a period of market exclusivity during which time they are sold with little or no competition for the compound, although typically there are other products in the same

therapeutic area. Additionally, branded products may benefit from additional periods of non-patent market exclusivity. Exclusivity ordinarily provides branded products with the ability to maintain their profitability for relatively long periods of time, and branded products typically continue to play a significant role in the market after the end of patent protection or other market exclusivities due to physician and consumer loyalties.

        Generic pharmaceutical products are the chemical and therapeutic equivalents of reference branded drugs. A reference branded drug is an approved drug product listed in the FDA publication entitled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations , popularly known as the "Orange Book." The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the Hatch-Waxman Act) provides that generic drugs may enter the market after the approval of an ANDA, which requires that bioequivalence to a reference branded product be demonstrated, and the expiration, invalidation or circumvention of any patents on the corresponding reference branded drug, or the end of any other relevant market exclusivity periods related to the reference branded drug. Generic drugs are bioequivalent to their reference branded name counterparts. Bioequivalence compares the bioavailability of one drug product with that of the referenced drug product containing the same active ingredient. Bioavailability indicates the rate and extent to which the active ingredients or active moiety is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of action. When established, bioequivalence confirms the absence of a significant difference in the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety in pharmaceutical equivalents or pharmaceutical alternatives becomes available at the site of drug action when administered at the same molar dose under similar conditions in an appropriately designed study. Accordingly, generic products provide a safe, effective and cost-efficient alternative to users of these reference branded products. Growth in the generic pharmaceutical industry has been driven by the increased market acceptance of generic drugs, as well as the number of branded drugs for which patent terms and/or other market exclusivities have expired.

        All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. Information to support the bioequivalence of generic drug products or the safety and effectiveness of new drug products for their intended use is also required to be submitted. There are generally two types of applications used for obtaining FDA approval of new products:

             New Drug Application —An NDA is filed when approval is sought to market a newly developed branded product and, in certain instances, for a new dosage form, a new delivery system or a new indication for a previously approved drug.

             Abbreviated New Drug Application —An ANDA is filed when approval is sought to market a generic equivalent of a drug product previously approved under an NDA and listed in the FDA's Orange Book or (following FDA approval of a petition) for a new dosage form, strength or route of administration for a drug previously approved under an NDA.

        The ANDA development process is generally less time-consuming and less complex than the NDA development process. It typically does not require new preclinical and clinical studies, because it relies on the studies establishing safety and efficacy conducted for the reference branded drug previously approved through the NDA process. The ANDA process, however, typically requires one or more bioequivalence studies to show that the ANDA drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved referenced branded drug.

        Generic products are generally introduced to the marketplace after the expiration of patent protection for the branded product and after the end of a period of non-patent market exclusivity. However, if an ANDA applicant files an ANDA containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or unenforceability related to a patent listed in the Orange Book with respect to the reference branded drug product, that generic equivalent may be able to be marketed prior to the expiration of patent protection for the branded product. Such patent certification is commonly referred

241


Table of Contents

to as a Paragraph IV certification. If the holder of the NDA sues, claiming patent infringement, within 45 days of notification by the applicant, the FDA may not approve the ANDA until the earlier of the rendering of a court decision favorable to the ANDA applicant or the expiration of 30 months. An ANDA applicant that is first to file a Paragraph IV certification is eligible for a period of generic marketing exclusivity. This exclusivity, which under certain circumstances may be required to be shared with other applicable ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications, lasts for 180 days, during which the FDA cannot grant final approval to other ANDA sponsors holding applications for a generic equivalent to the same reference branded drug.

        In addition to patent exclusivity, the holder of the NDA for the listed drug may be entitled to a period of non-patent market exclusivity, during which the FDA cannot approve an application for a generic version product. If the reference drug is a new chemical entity, the FDA may not accept an ANDA for a generic product for up to five years following approval of the NDA for the new chemical entity. If it is not a new chemical entity, but the holder of the NDA conducted clinical trials essential to approval of the NDA or a supplement thereto, the FDA may not approve an ANDA for reference NDA product before the expiration of three years. Certain other periods of exclusivity may be available if the referenced drug is indicated for treatment of a rare disease or is studied for pediatric indications.

        Prior Approval Supplements are required for approval of various types of changes to an approved ANDA, and these supplements may be under review for six months or more. In addition, certain types of changes may only be approved once new bioequivalence studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied.

        One requirement for FDA approval of NDAs and ANDAs is that ANI's manufacturing procedures and operations conform to FDA requirements and guidelines, generally referred to as cGMP. The requirements for FDA approval encompass all aspects of the production process, including validation and recordkeeping, the standards around which are continuously changing and evolving.

        Facilities, procedures, operations and/or testing of products are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, the DEA and other authorities. In addition, the FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether ANI's systems and processes are in compliance with cGMP and other FDA regulations. ANI's suppliers are subject to similar regulations and periodic inspections.

        ANI has filed four ANDAs for products for which FDA approvals are expected beginning in 2014; however, ANI can offer no assurances that it in fact will be able to obtain such approvals. In addition, ANI has seven ANDAs in progress—two internal and five with a development partner. ANI expects to file ANDAs for six of these products in 2013, and the remaining ANDA in 2014, with approvals expected beginning in 2015; however, there can be no assurances that the filing of these ANDAs will not be delayed or abandoned and no assurances that approval will be obtained. Further, ANI's pipeline of future development candidates includes products in each area of strategic focus, i.e., pain management (narcotics), anti-cancer (oncolytics), women's health (hormones and steroids), as well as complex formulations including extended release and combination products.

Generic Drug User Fee Amendment

        The Generic Drug User Fee Amendment of 2012 (GDUFA) to the FDA Safety and Innovation Act gives the FDA the authority to collect user fees from the generic pharmaceutical industry to fund reviews of generic drugs. GDUFA is designed to speed access to safe and effective generic drugs to the public. The law requires generic industry participants to pay user fees to supplement the costs of reviewing generic drug applications and inspecting facilities. The FDA believes these additional resources will enable it to reduce a current backlog of pending ANDA applications and cut the average time required to review generic drug applications for safety. For FDA's fiscal year 2013, the user fee

242


Table of Contents

rates are $51,520 for new ANDAs, $25,760 for Prior Approval Supplements, and $17,434 for each ANDA already on file at FDA.

        During 2012, ANI paid $68,954 for its two ANDAs on file at the FDA and $51,520 for a new ANDA filing. ANI also paid a facility user fee in March 2013 totaling $175,389 for FDA's fiscal year 2013.

Unapproved Pharmaceutical Products

        Certain of ANI's generic products are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs, specifically, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone and Opium Tincture. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, combined net revenues for these products were $6.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

        The FDA's policy with respect to the continued marketing of unapproved products is stated in the FDA's September 2011 Compliance Policy Guide, titled "Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs." Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based approach with regard to enforcement against marketing of such unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement action on a case-by-case basis, but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as those with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. ANI believes that so long as it complies with applicable manufacturing and labeling standards, it will not be targeted for enforcement under the FDA's current enforcement policy. There can be no assurance, however, that the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products.

        In October 2012, ANI received a telephone call requesting a meeting with the FDA representatives from the Minneapolis district of the FDA to discuss continued manufacturing and distribution of Opium Tincture, which is an unapproved product. That meeting was held on October 25, 2012 by conference telephone call and included FDA representatives from the Office of Compliance at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Counsel to ANI sent a letter to the FDA on November 9, 2012 in support of ANI's position. Although the FDA confirmed receipt of this letter, ANI has received no further response thereto. If, as a result of such discussions or otherwise, the FDA were to make a determination that ANI could not continue to sell Opium Tincture as an unapproved product, ANI would be required to seek FDA approval for such product or withdraw such product from the market. If ANI determined to withdraw the product from the market, ANI's net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products would decline materially, and if ANI decided to seek FDA approval, it would face increased expenses and might need to suspend sales of the product until such approval is obtained, and there are no assurances that ANI would receive such approval.

        In addition, one group of products that ANI manufactures on behalf of a contract customer, and based on the sale of which ANI receives royalties, is marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market, which could materially adversely affect ANI's contract manufacturing and royalty revenue. ANI's contract manufacturing revenue for this group of unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. ANI's royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $284,000 and $320,000, respectively.

        See also "Risk Factors—Risks Related to ANI—Certain of ANI's generic products are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs and ANI can offer no assurances that the FDA will not require ANI to seek approval for these products or withdraw them from the market. In either case, ANI's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected."

Controlled Substances

        U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.     The DEA regulates certain drug products containing controlled substances, such as opium, pursuant to the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The CSA and DEA regulations impose specific requirements on manufacturers and other entities that handle these substances including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, storage, security and distribution. Recordkeeping requirements include accounting for the amount of product received, manufactured, stored and distributed. Companies handling controlled substances also are required to maintain adequate security and to report suspicious orders, thefts and significant losses. The DEA periodically inspects facilities for compliance with the CSA and its regulations. Failure to comply with current and future regulations of the DEA could lead to a variety of sanctions, including revocation or denial of renewal of DEA registrations, injunctions, or civil or criminal penalties.

        In addition, each year, ANI must submit a request to the DEA for a quota to purchase the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient (opium) needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved quota from DEA, ANI would not be able to purchase this ingredient from its supplier. As a result, ANI is dependent upon the DEA to approve, on an annual basis, a quota of active pharmaceutical ingredient that is sufficiently large to support the continued manufacture of Opium Tincture.

Medicaid/Medicare

        Medicaid, a U.S. federal health care program, requires all pharmaceutical manufacturers to pay rebates to state Medicaid agencies. The rebates are based on the volume of drugs that are reimbursed by the states for Medicaid beneficiaries. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amends the PPACA, raised the rebate percentages for both generic and branded pharmaceuticals effective January 1, 2010. The required rebate is currently 13 percent of the average manufacturer's price for sales of Medicaid-reimbursed products marketed under ANDAs, up from 11 percent for periods prior to 2010. Sales of Medicaid-reimbursed products marketed under NDAs require manufacturers to rebate the greater of approximately 23 percent (up from 15 percent) of the average manufacturer's price or the difference between the average manufacturer's price and the best price during a specific period. ANI believes that federal or state governments may continue to enact measures aimed at reducing the cost of drugs to the public.

        Under Part D of the Medicare Modernization Act, Medicare beneficiaries are eligible to obtain discounted prescription drug coverage from private sector providers. As a result, usage of pharmaceuticals has increased, which is a trend that ANI believes will continue to benefit the generic pharmaceutical industry. However, such potential sales increases may be offset by increased pricing pressures, due to the enhanced purchasing power of the private sector providers that are negotiating on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries.

        Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, pharmaceutical companies are required to provide discounts to Medicare Part D beneficiaries for the cost of branded prescription drugs. Under the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program authorized by PPACA, any pharmaceutical product marketed under an NDA, regardless of whether the product is marketed as a "generic," is subject to the rebate. ANI's generic hydrocortisone enema and fluvoxamine maleate tablets, while marketed as "generics", are actually the subject of approved NDAs and, therefore, are subject to the rebate.


Research and Development

        ANI obtains new generic products through a combination of internal development and in partnership with other firms. Additionally, ANI licenses and co-develops products through arrangements with other companies.

244


Table of Contents

        To accelerate its product development pipeline, ANI entered into a relationship with RiconPharma. Under the parties' master product development and collaboration agreement from July 2011, ANI and RiconPharma have agreed to collaborate in a cost, asset and profit sharing arrangement for the development, manufacturing, regulatory approval and marketing of pharmaceutical products in the United States. The specific terms and conditions of each new product collaboration, including a description of the product, estimated cost of development and percentage allocation of costs and profits, are included in amending exhibits to the agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in the amending exhibit, RiconPharma is responsible for developing the products and ANI is responsible for manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution of the products. The parties are jointly responsible for directing any bioequivalence studies. ANI is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary regulatory approval, including the preparation of all ANDAs. Under the agreement and unless otherwise specified in the amending exhibit, the parties will own equally all the rights, title and interest in the products. To the extent permitted by applicable law, ANI will be identified on the product packaging as the manufacturer and labeler/distributor of the product. During the term of the agreement, both parties are prohibited from developing, manufacturing, selling or distributing any products that are identical or bioequivalent to products covered under the agreement. The master product development and collaboration agreement and any amending exhibit may be terminated as a result of uncured material breach upon 30 days' prior written notice, subject to a 30-day extension. The terminating party may not develop, manufacture, market, distribute or sale any covered product or a bioequivalent product for five years after termination. In addition, either party may terminate an amending exhibit upon 30 to 60 days' prior written notice.

        During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, ANI's research and development expenses were $1,157,548 and $799,302, respectively.


Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

        ANI owns the trademark names for each of its branded products, Cortenema® and Reglan®. Generally, the branded pharmaceutical business relies upon patent protection to ensure market exclusivity for the life of the patent. ANI does not own or license any patents associated with these products. Further, patent protection and market exclusivity for these products have long-since expired. Therefore, ANI considers the trademark names to be of material value and acts to protect these rights from infringement. However, ANI's business is not dependent upon any single trademark. Trademark protection continues in some countries as long as used; in other countries, as long as registered. Registration is for fixed terms and may be renewed indefinitely.

        In the branded pharmaceutical industry, the majority of an innovative product's commercial value is usually realized during the period in which the product has market exclusivity. In the United States and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there can often be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product's sales. The rate of this decline varies by country and by therapeutic category; however, following patent expiration, branded products often continue to have market viability based upon the goodwill of the product name, which typically benefits from trademark protection. ANI believes that sales of its branded products have and will continue to benefit from the goodwill of the product name.

        ANI has licensed the right to manufacture and market an authorized generic version, fluvoxamine maleate, of Luvox® IR from Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which in turn acquired the rights to Luvox® IR from Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This license is in addition to a manufacturing and supply agreement with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, under which ANI manufactures and supplies Jazz Pharmaceuticals' requirements for Luvox® IR. Under the license agreement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals transferred responsibility for the related NDA to ANI. The license agreement may be terminated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals if the Solvay license agreement is terminated, if ANI breaches or defaults in the performance or observance of any material provisions of the agreement or the related supply agreement and such breach or default is not

245

cured within 60 days after written notice is received, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filings by/against ANI, if ANI does not make royalty payments when due, or in the event ANI receives an adverse finding letter from the FDA relating to the NDA and is either not able to cure or provide evidence of a reasonable plan to cure within 30 days of receipt by ANI of such adverse finding letter, among other events. ANI may terminate the agreement with the consent of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.


Customers

        ANI's products are sold by four major retail pharmacy chains, Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid and Wal-Mart, and are included in the source programs of four major national wholesalers, Cardinal, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Morris Dickson. In addition, ANI's customers include national mail order houses and group purchasing organizations.

        Abbott Laboratories, formerly Solvay Pharmaceuticals, is one of ANI's largest ongoing contract manufacturing customers, the loss of whom would have a material adverse effect on ANI's business. For 2012 and 2011, sales to Abbott represented 10.5 percent and 15.6 percent of net revenues, respectively. The written agreement under which ANI performed contract manufacturing services for Abbott Laboratories expired in April 2012 and has not been renewed. ANI currently conducts its contract manufacturing services for Abbott Laboratories based on periodic individual purchase orders submitted by Abbott Laboratories to ANI, and there can be no assurances that Abbott Laboratories will continue submitting such orders and not choose another contract manufacturer for its products.

        Consistent with industry practice, ANI maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. Generally, product may be returned for a period beginning six months prior to its expiration date to up to one year after its expiration date. See "ANI's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" for a discussion of several of ANI's revenue recognition provisions.


Markets

        ANI's target markets have limited competition due to complexities in formulation, active pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing, material handling and manufacturing, and regulatory hurdles.

Hormone and Steroidal Drugs

        The market for hormone and steroidal drugs includes hormone therapy to alleviate menopausal symptoms in women, contraceptives, testosterone replacement therapies for men, and therapies for treating hormone-sensitive and other cancers.

        Hormone Therapy (HT) has been an accepted medical treatment for alleviating the symptoms of menopause since the 1930s, with formal FDA approval for that use granted in 1942. In the beginning, HT consisted of estrogen only, but has evolved to include combination therapies of estrogen, progesterone and androgens. In 2000, the FDA approved the use of estrogen for prevention of osteoporosis. ANI targets niche products in the HT and steroidal products market for several reasons:

    Hormone and steroid products are a core competency based on ANI's manufacturing and product development teams' long history of manufacturing these types of products; and

    The aging baby boom population, of which women represent a majority, is expected to support continued growth in the HT market.

246

Oncolytics

        ANI is positioned to develop and manufacture niche oncolytic (anti-cancer) drugs due to the capabilities of the ANI's containment facility and its expertise in manufacturing segregation. In particular, ANI is targeting products subject to priority review by the FDA, those with no blocking patents, and those with no generic competition. In addition to one such product already under development, ANI has identified six additional priority review opportunities in oncolytics.

Narcotics

        ANI's main manufacturing facility in Baudette, Minnesota is licensed by the DEA for the manufacture and distribution of Schedule II narcotics, i.e., drugs considered to have a high abuse risk but that also have safe and accepted medical uses in the United States. In addition to its existing pipeline of three ANDAs (and five additional ANDAs with a development partner), ANI has identified additional product development opportunities in this segment.

Contract Manufacturing

        Contract manufacturers are experiencing significant growth as both branded and generic companies are outsourcing some or all of their production to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) for the following reasons:

    Free-up internal resources to focus on core competencies in sales and marketing as well as research and development;

    Utilize internal manufacturing operations for higher volume or more critical products;

    Provide an alternative cGMP production site in the event of regulatory compliance issues at primary manufacturing site; and

    Specialized equipment or unique intellectual property possessed by the CMO.

        ANI considers contract manufacturing to be an important component of its ongoing business strategy. Given its highly specialized manufacturing capabilities, ANI is focused on attracting niche contract manufacturing opportunities that fill idle capacity and offer higher margins.


Marketing and Distribution

        ANI's products are distributed through the following channels:

    Wholesalers.   ANI has contracts with four major wholesalers in the United States: Cardinal, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Morris Dickson, as well as access to their respective retail source programs.

    Retail Market Chains.   ANI conducts business with the four major retail chains in the United States, including Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid and Wal-Mart.

    Distributors and Mail Order Pharmacies.   ANI has contracts with several major distributors and mail order pharmacies in the United States including Anda, ExpressScripts and Omnicare.

    Hospital Market.   ANI has contracts with group purchasing organizations in the United States, such as Premiere, MedAssets, Minnesota Multi-State and the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).


Competition

        The U.S. pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. ANI's primary competitors include other generic companies (both major multinational and regional companies) and branded drug companies

247


Table of Contents

that continue to sell or license branded pharmaceutical products after patent and other statutory expirations.

        The primary means of competition among generic companies are pricing and contract terms, service levels, and supplier reliability. To compete effectively, ANI establishes active working relationships with each of its customers, continually gathers important market information in order to respond successfully to requests for proposals, maintains sufficient inventories to assure high service levels, and works to reduce product costs by sourcing and qualifying alternative suppliers whenever possible and rebidding product components on a routine basis.

        ANI's sales can be impacted by new studies that indicate that a competitor's product has greater efficacy for treating a disease or particular form of a disease than one of ANI's products. If competitors introduce new products and processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, ANI's products can be subject to progressive price reductions and/or decreased volume of sales.

        Principal competitors for the types of drugs in which ANI transacts business are as follows:

        Hormones and Steroids.     Competition for hormone and steroidal drugs is limited because of the small number of plants in the United States capable of safely manufacturing these high-potency compounds. Key generic participants in hormone and steroidal drugs include Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Creekwood Pharmaceuticals, Endo Pharmaceuticals, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Watson Pharmaceuticals and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA.

        Oncolytics.     Competitors for oncolytic products include both top-tier generic pharmaceutical companies as well as niche players. Key market participants include Mylan, Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Sandoz, the generic pharmaceuticals division of Novartis AG, Watson Pharmaceuticals and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA.

        Narcotics.     Although market share in narcotic products is concentrated among two principal companies, i.e., Purdue Pharma and Mallinckrodt, several other companies with material market share in specific product categories within narcotics include Endo Pharmaceuticals, Roxane Laboratories and Watson Pharmaceuticals.


Product Liability

        Product liability litigation represents an inherent risk to firms in the pharmaceutical industry. ANI utilizes traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to its product liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects market conditions, including cost and availability, existing at the time the policy is written, and the decision to obtain commercial insurance coverage or to self-insure varies accordingly.

        In February 2009, the FDA mandated a "black box" warning for the drug metoclopramide, specifically highlighting the risks of patients developing tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder, when taking metoclopramide for longer than 12 weeks. As a result, numerous state-level lawsuits were brought against pharmaceutical manufacturers, both branded and generic, who had ever manufactured and/or sold metoclopramide. Among the defendants is ANI, which manufactures the generic version and since 2011 has been manufacturing the branded version under the name Reglan®. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim to have incurred bodily injuries as a result of ingestion of metoclopramide or Reglan® prior to the FDA's black box warning requirement. The allegations involve a failure, based on various state-level consumer protection laws, to adequately warn patients and doctors about the risks of using metoclopramide for longer than 12 weeks as evidenced by the FDA's mandate to strengthen the labeled warning. ANI has been named and served in 84 separate complaints between December 2009 and March 2013, including three in Pennsylvania, nine in New Jersey, and 72 in California, covering

248


Table of Contents

2,930 plaintiffs in total. In August 2012, ANI was dismissed with prejudice as a defendant in all of the cases brought in New Jersey.

        As the state-level litigation progressed, the generic pharmaceutical defendants appealed to the US Supreme Court arguing that generic companies could not comply with state laws that required them to strengthen their labels because generic companies are prohibited by federal law from making any changes except those adopted by the brand or mandated by FDA for all manufacturers, e.g. federal pre-emption. The US Supreme Court decided in favor of the generic companies in June 2011 in what is known now as the Mensing decision. While many cases have since been dismissed by state courts, several judges, including in Pennsylvania and California, have allowed the plaintiffs to resubmit their complaints.

        At the present time, ANI's management is unable to assess the likely outcome of the remaining cases. ANI's insurance company has assumed the defense of this matter. In addition, ANI's insurance company renewed ANI's product liability insurance on September 1, 2011 and 2012 with absolute exclusions for claims related to Reglan® and metoclopramide. ANI cannot provide assurances that the outcome of these matters will not have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Furthermore, like all pharmaceutical manufacturers, ANI in the future may be exposed to other product liability claims, which could harm its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.


Suppliers and Raw Materials

        ANI sources the raw materials for its products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in API suppliers must usually be approved through a Prior Approval Supplement by the FDA. As the API typically comprises the majority of a product's manufactured cost, and qualifying an alternative is costly and time-consuming, API suppliers must be selected carefully based on quality, reliability of supply and long-term financial stability. ANI's principal API suppliers include Cambrex, Symbiotech Pharmalab, Johnson Matthey and Pfizer Centersource.

        In addition, each year, ANI must submit a request to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for a quota to purchase the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved quota from DEA, ANI would not be able to purchase this ingredient from its supplier. As a result, ANI is dependent upon the DEA to approve, on an annual basis, a quota of active pharmaceutical ingredient that is sufficiently large to support the continued manufacture of Opium Tincture.


Employees

        ANI's workforce includes 72 full-time employees, including 36 salaried employees, and a flexible direct labor pool of 19 experienced pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging staff. Of the full-time employees, 46 are in selling, general and administrative, 19 in production and seven in research and development.

ANI'S MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with ANI's financial statements and condensed financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and ANI's future financial performance, that involve risks and uncertainties. ANI's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors Risks Related to ANI" and "Risk Factors Risks Related to the Combined Company" and elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.


Overview

        ANI is a fully integrated specialty branded and generic pharmaceutical company developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals. In two facilities with combined manufacturing, packaging and laboratory capacity totaling 173,000 square feet, ANI manufactures oral solid dose products, as well as liquids and topicals, including narcotics and those that must be manufactured in a fully contained environment due to their potency and/or toxicity. ANI also performs contract manufacturing for other pharmaceutical companies.

        ANI's established product portfolio consists of both branded and generic pharmaceuticals, including:

Generic Products
 
Branded Products
Opium Tincture   Cortenema®
Fluvoxamine Maleate Tablets   Reglan® Tablets
Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone Tablets    
Hydrocortisone Enema    
Metoclopramide Syrup    

        ANI's business strategy is to utilize its manufacturing assets to develop and market niche generic pharmaceuticals, focusing on products in pain management (narcotics), anti-cancer (oncolytics), women's health (hormones and steroids), as well as complex formulations, including extended release and combination products. These areas of focus reflect ANI's specialized manufacturing experience and capabilities and offer a large number of attractive niche generic product opportunities.

        ANI considers a variety of criteria in determining which products to develop, all of which influence the level of competition upon product launch. These criteria include:

    Formulation Difficulty.   Potent, extended release, combination and low dosage products.

    Patent Status.   Existing patent protection, if any, time remaining to patent expiration, and existing patent challenges.

    Market Size.   Current and expected market size at launch based on forecasted price erosion upon conversion from branded to generic pricing.

    Profit Potential.   Availability and cost of active pharmaceutical ingredients combined with forecasted market share.

    Manufacturing.   Ability of ANI to manufacture in company-owned facilities.

    Competition.   Existing and expected competitors.

Recent Developments

        On April 12, 2013, BioSante and ANI entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ANI, after which ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante. The merger agreement amends and restates in its entirety the prior merger agreement from October 2012.

        Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratio described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation, and all options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled without consideration therefor, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in BioSante or ANI after the merger. No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued in connection with the merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the stockholders of ANI immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will own 57 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante common stock and the stockholders of BioSante immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will own 43 percent of the outstanding shares of BioSante common stock. Unlike the exchange ratio provision in the prior merger agreement, the respective percentage ownerships of the ANI and BioSante stockholders in BioSante after the merger are fixed at 57 percent and 43 percent, respectively, and are not subject to adjustment based on BioSante's net cash. The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For further details, please refer to the sections entitled "The Merger" and "The Merger Agreement" in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.


Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

        This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on ANI's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires ANI to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, ANI evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including those described below. ANI bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.

        Some of the estimates and assumptions ANI has to make under GAAP require difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the estimation processes involved, the following summarized accounting policies and their application are considered to be critical to understanding ANI's business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized for product sales upon passing of risk and title to the customer and when estimates of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured and ANI has no further performance obligations. These estimates reduce gross revenues to net revenues in the

251


Table of Contents

statements of operations, or are presented as current liabilities or reductions in accounts receivable in the balance sheets.

Accruals for Chargebacks, Returns and Other Allowances

        ANI's generic and branded product revenues are typically subject to agreements with customers allowing chargebacks, product returns, administrative fees, and other rebates and prompt payment discounts. ANI accrues for these items at the time of sale based on the estimates and methodologies described below. In the aggregate, these gross-to-net accruals exceed 65 percent of generic and branded gross product sales and reduce gross revenues to net revenues in the statements of operations, or are presented as current liabilities or reductions in accounts receivable in the balance sheets. ANI continually monitors and re-evaluates the accruals as additional information becomes available, which includes, among other things, updates to trade inventory levels and customer product mix. ANI makes adjustments to the accruals at the end of each reporting period, to reflect any such updates to the relevant facts and circumstances.

    Chargebacks

        Chargebacks, primarily from wholesalers, are the most significant of ANI's accruals. Chargebacks result from arrangements ANI has with indirect customers establishing prices for products which the indirect customer purchases through a wholesaler. Alternatively, ANI may pre-authorize wholesalers to offer specified contract pricing to other indirect customers. Under either arrangement, ANI provides a chargeback credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler's invoice price, typically Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC).

        Chargeback credits are calculated as follows:

        Prior period chargebacks claimed by wholesalers are analyzed to determine the actual average selling price (ASP) for each product. This calculation is performed by product by wholesaler. ASPs can be affected by several factors such as:

    a change in customer mix;

    a change in negotiated terms with customers;

    a change in product sales mix;

    a change in the volume of off-contract purchases; and

    changes in WAC.

        As necessary, ANI adjusts ASPs based on anticipated changes in the factors above.

        The difference between ASP and WAC is recorded at the same time ANI recognizes revenue from the product sale as a reduction in both gross revenues and accounts receivable.

        To evaluate the adequacy of its chargeback accruals, ANI obtains on-hand inventory counts from the wholesalers. This inventory is multiplied by the chargeback amount, the difference between ASP and WAC, to arrive at total expected future chargebacks, which is then compared to the chargeback accruals. ANI continually monitors chargeback activity and adjusts ASPs when it believes that actual selling prices will differ from current ASPs.

    Returns

        Consistent with industry practice, ANI maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. Generally, product may be returned for a period beginning six months prior to its expiration date until up to one year

252


Table of Contents

after its expiration date. ANI's product returns are settled through the issuance of a credit to the customer. ANI's estimate for returns is based upon its historical experience with actual returns. While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation in the past, history may not always be an accurate indicator of future returns. ANI continually monitors its estimates for returns and makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns may differ from the established accruals.

    Administrative Fees and Other Rebates

        Administrative fees or rebates are offered to wholesalers, group purchasing organizations and indirect customers, consistent with pharmaceutical industry practice. ANI accrues for fees and rebates, by product by wholesaler, at the time of sale based on contracted rates and ASPs.

        To evaluate the adequacy of its administrative fee accruals, ANI obtains on-hand inventory counts from the wholesalers. This inventory is multiplied by the ASPs to arrive at total expected future sales, which is then multiplied by contracted rates. The result is then compared to the administrative fee accruals. ANI continually monitors administrative fee activity and adjusts its accruals when it believes that actual administrative fees will differ from the accruals.

    Prompt Payment Discounts

        Sales discounts are granted for prompt payment. The reserve for sales discounts is based on invoices outstanding. ANI assumes based on past experience that 100 percent of available discounts will be taken.

Accounts Receivable

        ANI extends credit to customers on an unsecured basis. ANI utilizes the allowance method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management's evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable. ANI provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. ANI's estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. ANI determines trade receivables to be delinquent when greater than 30 days past due. Receivables are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible. ANI determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income , an amendment to ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income . The

253


Table of Contents

update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective for ANI for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 . This update stated that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This update requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for ANI for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. As ANI's net loss is the same as comprehensive loss, ANI did not present a statement of comprehensive loss.

        ANI has historically derived substantially all of its revenues from sales of generic and branded pharmaceutical products, contract manufacturing and contract services, which includes product development services for potential contract customers, laboratory services for existing contract customers where those services are billed separately from contract manufacturing, and royalties on net sales of certain contract manufactured products. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $20.4 million compared to $16.5 million for 2011.

        Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $3.9 million, or 23.3 percent, compared to 2011, primarily as a result of the following factors:

    Net revenues for ANI generic pharmaceutical products were $10.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 45.0 percent compared to $7.0 million for 2011. The primary reasons for the increase were significant market share gains on Opium Tincture, Fluvoxamine Maleate tablets, and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone tablets. For Fluvoxamine Maleate and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone, the market share gains resulted from winning primary positions on wholesaler source programs through competitive bidding processes. For Opium Tincture, ANI secured additional market share due to a decrease in competition. Additional competition ordinarily has a negative impact on the pricing and volume of the affected products and, conversely, reduced competition ordinarily has a positive impact. In

255


Table of Contents

      addition to the decrease in competition, the cost of the active pharmaceutical ingredient for Opium Tincture increased on January 1, 2012. This increased cost was passed along to ANI's end customers through finished product price increases. Increased sales of Metoclopramide oral solution also contributed to the results. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in average pricing for Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone tablets as a result of ANI matching lower pricing offered by a competitor to an established ANI customer. As described in further detail under "Business—Government Regulation—Unapproved Pharmaceutical Products," ANI markets Opium Tincture and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone without FDA-approved New Drug Applications (NDAs). The FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based approach, on a case-by-case basis, in deciding whether to take enforcement action against unapproved products, and ANI believes that so long as it complies with applicable manufacturing and labeling standards, the FDA will not take enforcement action against it with respect to the marketing of Opium Tincture and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone. However, there can be no assurance that the FDA will continue its policy or not take a contrary position with respect to such products. If the FDA were to take a contrary position, ANI may be required to seek FDA approval for Opium Tincture, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone, or both, or withdraw those products from the market. ANI's combined net revenues for Opium Tincture and Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $6.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. In addition, if ANI decided to seek FDA approval, it would face increased expenses. In October 2012, ANI received a telephone call requesting a meeting with the FDA representatives from the Minneapolis district of the FDA to discuss continued manufacturing and distribution of Opium Tincture, which is an unapproved product. That meeting was held on October 25, 2012 by conference telephone call and included FDA representatives from the Office of Compliance at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Counsel to ANI sent a letter to the FDA on November 9, 2012 in support of ANI's position. Although the FDA confirmed receipt of this letter, ANI has received no further response thereto.

    Net revenues for ANI branded pharmaceutical products were $1.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 128.3 percent compared to approximately $801,000 for the same period in 2011. In mid-2011, ANI acquired and launched Reglan® tablets, which contributed to revenue for all of 2012 but only for six months in 2011. Higher sales for Cortenema® also contributed to the increase.

    Contract manufacturing revenues were $7.6 million for the year ended December 31 2012, a decrease of 4.9 percent from $7.9 million for 2011, due to decreased orders from contract manufacturing customers during the 2012 period. Abbott Laboratories, formerly Solvay Pharmaceuticals, is one of ANI's largest ongoing contract manufacturing customers, the loss of whom would have a material adverse effect on ANI's business. For 2012 and 2011, sales to Abbott Laboratories represented 10.5 percent and 15.6 percent of net revenues, respectively. The written agreement under which ANI performed contract manufacturing services for Abbott Laboratories expired in April 2012 and has not been renewed. ANI currently conducts its contract manufacturing services for Abbott Laboratories based on periodic individual purchase orders submitted by Abbot Laboratories to ANI, and there can be no assurance that Abbott Laboratories will continue submitting such orders and not choose another contract manufacturer for its products. In addition, one group of products that ANI manufactures on behalf of a contract customer is marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. ANI's contract manufacturing revenue for the group of unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.4 and $1.3 million, respectively.

256


Table of Contents

    Contract services and other income were approximately $828,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 8.4 percent from approximately $764,000 for 2011, due to increased fees charged to contract manufacturing customers during the period. ANI receives royalties on the net sales of a group of contract-manufactured products, which are marketed by the contract customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. ANI's royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $284,000 and $320,000, respectively.

Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

  $ 8,843,581   $ 6,860,551   $ 1,983,030     28.9 %

        Cost of sales consists of direct labor, including manufacturing and packaging, active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and packaging components. Cost of sales does not include depreciation and amortization expense, which is reported as a separate component of operating expenses on ANI's statements of operations.

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, cost of sales increased to $8.8 million from $6.9 million for 2011, an increase of $2.0 million or 28.9 percent, primarily as a result of an increase in sales of ANI generic and branded pharmaceutical products. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased to 43.4 percent during the year ended December 31, 2012 from 41.5 percent for 2011, primarily as a result of the following factors:

    The cost of the active pharmaceutical ingredient for Opium Tincture increased on January 1, 2012. This increased cost was partially passed along to ANI's end customers.

    The average selling price for Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone tablets decreased as a result of ANI matching lower pricing offered by a competitor.

        ANI sources the raw materials for its products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in API suppliers usually must be approved by the FDA, which approval can take 18 months or longer. As a result, ANI is dependent upon its current vendors to supply reliably the API required for ongoing product manufacturing. During the year ended December 31, 2012, ANI purchased approximately 60 percent of total costs of sales from three suppliers. As of December 31, 2012, amounts payable to these suppliers totaled $240,009.

        Each year, ANI must submit a request to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for a quota to purchase the amount of API needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved quota from DEA, ANI would not be able to purchase API from its supplier. As a result, ANI is dependent upon the DEA to annually approve a sufficient quota of API to support the continued manufacture of Opium Tincture.

        Other operating expenses consist of salaries and benefits, outbound freight, research and development costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization. ANI expects other operating expenses to continue to increase in the future due to anticipated hiring of additional employees to support the activities associated with being a public company, assuming ANI's pending merger with BioSante is completed and to support anticipated additional revenue growth, as well as from anticipated additional research and product development costs.

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, other operating expenses increased to $11.6 million from $9.6 million for 2011, an increase of approximately $1.9 million or 19.9 percent, primarily as a result of the following factors:

    Salaries and benefits increased from $4.4 million to $5.0 million, as a result of hiring new employees combined with increases in benefit costs, particularly health insurance.

    Freight expense increased from approximately $253,000 to $323,000 due to higher sales.

    Research and development expenses decreased from approximately $799,000 to $1.2 million, due to timing differences in product development schedules between the years.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $3.7 million to $4.5 million as a result of expenses incurred relating to ANI's pending merger with BioSante, which were partially offset by decreases in promotional allowances. Promotional allowances during the 2011 prior period were higher as a result of the launches of Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone tablets and Opium Tincture.

    Depreciation and amortization expense increased from approximately $533,000 to $567,000 as a result of an increase in manufacturing equipment.

Table of Contents

    Interest expense decreased from $2.3 million to $1.3 million as a result of the conversion on June 6, 2012 of all of the outstanding subordinated debt to Series D convertible preferred stock.

    Other expense decreased from approximately $385,000 to $241,000 as a result of higher costs, including forbearance fees, in the 2011 prior period related to ANI's then-existing line of credit. ANI expects other expense to decrease assuming the completion of its pending merger with BioSante, which will terminate the monitoring and advisory fee agreements. At the closing of the merger, however, approximately $457,000 will be payable under the monitoring and advisory fee agreements, which amounts cover the accrued portion of monitoring and advisory fees as well as approximately $390,000 for overall management, deal structuring, financial advisory and due diligence services in connection with the merger. See "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for further details.

        Gain on discontinued operation consists of revenue and expenses associated with ANI's over-the-counter pharmaceutical products operation in Gulfport, Mississippi. This operation was sold in September 2010.

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, gain on discontinued operation, net of tax, decreased to approximately $68,000 from $124,000 for 2011, primarily as a result of a recovery of bad debt and increased settlement activity with suppliers in 2011.

        At December 31, 2012, ANI had approximately $11,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and unused availability under its line of credit of approximately $935,000. At December 31,

Table of Contents

2011, ANI had zero cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and approximately $36,000 of unused availability under its then-existing line of credit.

        ANI's primary cash requirements are to fund operations, including research and development programs, and support general and administrative activities. ANI's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

    proportions of net revenues comprised of contract manufacturing and sales of ANI generic and branded products;

    pricing and payment terms with customers;

    costs of raw materials and payment terms with suppliers;

    capital expenditures and equipment purchases to support product launches; and

    business and product acquisitions.

        Consolidation among wholesale distributors, chain drug stores and group purchasing organizations has resulted in a smaller number of companies each controlling a larger share of pharmaceutical distribution channels. ANI's net revenues are concentrated among three customers representing 25 percent, 21 percent and 11 percent of net revenues, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, accounts receivable from these three customers totaled $3.8 million, or approximately 69 percent of ANI's net accounts receivable. ANI's net revenues for those same three customers were 21 percent, 16 percent and 16 percent for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, accounts receivable from these three customers totaled $3.2 million or approximately 63 percent of net accounts receivable. As a result, negotiated payment terms with these customers have a material impact on ANI's liquidity and working capital.

        Two of ANI's generic pharmaceutical products, Opium Tincture and Fluvoxamine Maleate tablets, account for approximately 42 percent of ANI's net revenues. As a result, market pricing for these products, combined with the costs of raw materials and payment terms with suppliers, have a material impact on ANI's liquidity and working capital.

        ANI has not generated positive cash flows from operations. To bridge the gap between revenues and operating and capital needs, ANI has relied on a variety of financing sources, including the issuance of equity securities and convertible notes and revolving lines of credit. Based on projected revenue and expenses for the next twelve months, ANI anticipates that current cash on hand and borrowing availability under its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet ongoing expenses and capital requirements at least through the next twelve months, assuming the pending merger with BioSante is not completed. Assuming the merger is completed, ANI anticipates that its current resources, combined with the additional cash, expected future licensing revenues, and other assets of BioSante, will be sufficient to meet ongoing expenses and capital requirements at least through December 31, 2015. If ANI's assumptions underlying estimated revenue and expenses prove to be wrong or if its cash requirements change materially as a result of shifts in its business and strategy, ANI or the combined company, as the case may be, may require additional financing to fund operating and capital requirements, and may require such financing prior to the dates specified above.

        The continuing global economic uncertainty has resulted in extreme volatility in the capital markets and is threatening to once again tighten the credit markets. As a result, there can be no assurance that future funding will be available to ANI on reasonably acceptable terms, or at all.

        ANI has incurred cumulative net losses and expects to incur additional losses in conducting further research and development activities. ANI has relatively limited capital resources. ANI's plans with regard to these matters include raising additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities, or both, increasing net revenues through product acquisitions, new product launches,

reducing manufacturing costs and completion of the planned merger with BioSante. Although ANI continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that sufficient future financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, that ANI will be able to generate sufficient revenue or that ANI will be able to lower its manufacturing costs. ANI's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that it will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These statements do not include any adjustments that might result if the carrying amount of recorded assets and liabilities are not realized.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Debt Financing

        ANI utilizes a revolving line of credit to finance its operations. Under the line of credit in place at December 31, 2011, ANI's borrowings were based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, up to a maximum of $3.5 million. Without considering the $3.5 million limit, but applying the applicable percentage to eligible accounts receivable and inventory, ANI could have borrowed up to $4.9 million at December 31, 2011. As a result of the loan limit restriction and other factors, on June 6, 2012, ANI refinanced its line of credit with a new lender, Alostar Bank of Commerce.

        Under the new arrangement, ANI may borrow on a revolving basis, based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, up to a maximum of $6.0 million. The loan agreement bears interest daily at the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 5 percent or (ii) 6 percent. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of ANI's assets. The principal is repayable at the termination date, unless accelerated as a result of certain events of default. If ANI generates any proceeds from the collateral securing the line of credit, such proceeds must be paid to the lender up to the amount of any outstanding balance. Interest is due and payable on the first of every month and at the termination date, unless accelerated as a result of an event of default. In addition, a usage fee equal to 0.375 percent per annum of the unused amounts under the facility and a management fee equal to $18,000 per annum are assessed monthly. The revolving loan agreement expires in June 2015, but can be terminated early in the following circumstances: (a) automatically upon the commencement of insolvency proceedings by or against ANI, (b) at the option of the lender without notice upon any other event of default, and (c) at the option of ANI upon ten business days' prior written notice.

        In the event of early termination, whether effected by ANI, the lender or automatically, ANI is obligated to pay a prepayment fee of $180,000 if termination occurs in the first year, $120,000 if termination occurs in the second year and $60,000 if termination occurs after the second year but prior to the last day of the term.

        The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

        ANI must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, calculated by dividing (a) (i) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) less (ii) unfinanced capital expenditures, by (b) the sum of cash paid for (i) interest and (ii) monitoring and advisory fees (See "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.") Also, ANI must generate at least $900,000 in EBITDA, measured ratably commencing January 1, 2013, on a trailing four-quarter basis. Restrictive covenants apply to, among other things, incurrence of additional indebtedness, prepayment of other indebtedness, additional liens, acquisitions, mergers or consolidations and sales of assets.

        The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the loan agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of a specific date or specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the loan agreement.

261


Table of Contents

        Events of default under the agreement include, but are not limited to: (i) liquidation, bankruptcy or similar events; (ii) failure to pay any debts due on a timely basis; (iii) failure to observe any covenant or condition under the loan agreement, which failure, in most cases, is not cured within 30 days of written notice by lender; (iv) material misrepresentations; (v) ANI is restrained by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of ANI's business; (vi) certain money judgments are entered against ANI; and (vii) ANI challenges the validity or enforceability of the loan agreement in any proceeding. Remedies for events of default include acceleration of amounts owing under the loan agreement and taking immediate possession of, and selling, any collateral securing the loan.

        As of December 31, 2012, approximately $4.1 million was outstanding under the loan agreement, at an effective interest rate of 6.0 percent. ANI was not in compliance with certain covenants under the loan agreement as of December 31, 2012. ANI obtained a waiver from its lender and the loan covenants were revised. ANI expects to remain in compliance with the revised covenants during the remainder of 2013.

        At December 31, 2012, ANI had approximately $11,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and unused availability under its line of credit of approximately $935,000. At December 31, 2011, ANI had zero cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and approximately $36,000 of unused availability under its then-existing line of credit.

Equity Financing

        In 2009, ANI issued $2,502,814 of secured subordinated convertible notes, referred to as the 2009 convertible notes. The 2009 convertible notes, which bore interest at 10 percent per annum, were due on September 3, 2011. Interest on the 2009 convertible notes accrued until the outstanding principal and interest was either paid in full or converted into preferred stock. The 2009 convertible notes were secured by a second lien on substantially all of ANI's assets and included financial covenants and limitations on ANI's ability to enter into certain transactions while the 2009 convertible notes were outstanding.

        In 2010, ANI issued $8,474,952 of secured subordinated convertible notes, referred to as the 2010 convertible notes. The 2010 convertible notes, which bore interest at 14 percent per annum, were due on September 3, 2011. Interest on the 2010 convertible notes accrued until the outstanding principal and interest was either paid in full or converted into preferred stock. The 2010 convertible notes were secured by a second lien on substantially all of ANI's assets and included financial covenants and limitations on ANI's ability to enter into certain transactions while the 2010 convertible notes were outstanding.

        In 2011, ANI issued $2,694,295 of secured subordinated convertible notes, referred to as the 2011 convertible notes, and consolidated all of the outstanding 2009 and 2010 convertible notes into 2011 convertible notes, which are collectively referred to as the consolidated 2011 convertible notes. The consolidated 2011 convertible notes, which bore interest at 14 percent per annum, were due on December 31, 2012. Interest on the consolidated 2011 convertible notes accrued until the outstanding principal and interest was either paid in full or converted into preferred stock. The consolidated 2011 convertible notes were secured by a second lien on substantially all of ANI's assets and included financial covenants and limitations on ANI's ability to enter into certain transactions while the consolidated 2011 convertible notes were outstanding.

        On June 6, 2012, the holders converted all of the outstanding 2011 convertible notes and accrued interest into shares of ANI series D preferred stock. As of December 31, 2012, no convertible notes remained outstanding.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

        Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $137,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $3.1 million used in operating activities during 2011, a decrease of $3.0 million between the periods. This decrease was due to changes in current assets and current liabilities and changes in net loss. Increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities (in each case a use of cash) for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $128,000 compared to $2.2 million for 2011, a decrease of approximately $2.1 million between the periods. Also, ANI's net loss from continuing operations, decreased by $978,000 between the periods.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $292,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which related primarily to capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $288,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which included capital expenditures and the acquisition in mid-2011 of Reglan® tablets.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $440,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which included approximately $1.0 million in increased borrowings under ANI's revolving line of credit, net of payment of debt issuance costs of approximately $261,000 and approximately $300,000 in note payable repayments. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which included approximately $1.3 million in increased borrowings under ANI's revolving line of credit and $2.7 million from the issuance of convertible notes, net of approximately $633,000 in term loan repayments.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, ANI did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are intended to show how the merger might have affected historical financial statements if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2012 for the purposes of the statements of operations and December 31, 2012 for the purposes of the balance sheet, and was prepared based on the historical financial results reported by BioSante and ANI. The following should be read in conjunction with the audited historical financial statements of each of BioSante and ANI and the notes thereto beginning on pages F-1 and F-35, respectively, and the sections entitled "BioSante's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "ANI's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        The merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the accounting rules for business combinations. Under the reverse acquisition method of accounting, ANI will be treated as the accounting acquiror and BioSante will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes because, immediately upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders prior to the merger will hold a majority of the voting interest of the combined company. In addition, the seven member board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of five of the current members of the ANI board of directors; and therefore, ANI's current board of directors will possess majority control of the board of directors of the combined company. Members of the current management of ANI will be responsible for the management of the combined company and the majority of the combined company's activities will be activities related to ANI's current business.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the merger are based upon the reverse acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 combines the historical balance sheets of BioSante and ANI as of December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on December 31, 2012.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 combine the historical statements of operations of BioSante and ANI for their respective twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2012.

        The historical financial data has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on management's estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition and certain other adjustments.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been combined during the periods presented. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the preliminary acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual amounts that will be recorded upon completion of the merger.

1. Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

    Description of Transaction

        On April 12, 2013, BioSante entered into the merger agreement with ANI. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, with ANI surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante.

        At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of BioSante common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the merger agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation, and all options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled without consideration therefor, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in the combined company after the merger. No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued in connection with the merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Upon completion of the merger, ANI stockholders will receive shares of BioSante common stock representing an aggregate of 57 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

        Pursuant to the terms of ANI's certificate of incorporation, (i) before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of any other series of ANI preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series D preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $30.00 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; (ii) before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series C preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $110.00 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; (iii) before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of ANI series A preferred stock or ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series B preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $110.00 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; (iv) before any amounts are paid to the holders of shares of ANI common stock, the holders of shares of ANI series A preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $100.00 plus all declared but unpaid dividends; and (v) after payments have been made to all holders of ANI preferred stock, the remaining assets of ANI will be distributed ratably to the holders of ANI common stock, including holders of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock and ANI series A preferred stock who elect to convert into ANI common stock in lieu of receiving the stated dollar preference amounts described above, and ANI series D preferred stock. The stated value of each series of ANI preferred stock set forth above is subject to adjustment as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation. The exchange ratios in the merger agreement reflect these preferential payments. As a result of such provisions, it is likely that holders of shares of ANI series A preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series C preferred stock or ANI common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger.

    Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and are intended to show how the merger might have affected the historical financial statements if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2012 for the purposes of the statements of operations and December 31, 2012 for the purposes of the balance sheet. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the merger are based upon the accounting rules for business combinations, specifically, the reverse acquisition method of accounting in accordance with

        Under the reverse acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of BioSante will be recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of ANI. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on management's estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition. These estimates are based on the most recently available information. To the extent there are significant changes to the combined company's business following completion of the merger, the assumptions and estimates set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements could change significantly. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that will not be completed until following the merger. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are conducted following completion of the merger. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in material changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below under Note 2.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 combines the historical balance sheets of BioSante and ANI as of December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on December 31, 2012.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 combine the historical statements of operations of BioSante and ANI for their respective year ended December 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2012.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume an exchange ratio of 12.2901 shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series D preferred stock and an exchange ratio of zero shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock. Such exchange ratios take into account shares of ANI series D preferred stock to be issued to certain of ANI's executive officers immediately prior to completion of the merger.

        The exchange ratios, as such ratios are calculated pursuant to the formulas set forth in the merger agreement, are based on the number of shares of BioSante common stock and ANI capital stock outstanding as of immediately prior to completion of the merger, and in the case of BioSante, a certain percentage of the number of certain warrants to purchase shares of BioSante common stock outstanding as of such date, and will not be determined until that time. The exchange ratios will be adjusted upward or downward only as a result of changes to the outstanding capital stock of either or both of BioSante and ANI as of immediately prior to completion of the merger. No adjustments to the exchange ratios will be made based on changes in the trading price of BioSante common stock or the value of ANI capital stock prior to completion of the merger. As a result, the value of the shares of BioSante common stock issued to ANI stockholders in connection with the merger could be substantially less or substantially more than the current market value of BioSante common stock.

2. Purchase Price

        A preliminary estimate of the purchase price is as follows (table in thousands):

Fair value of BioSante shares outstanding

  $ 30,120  

Estimated fair value of vested BioSante stock options

    8  
       

Estimated purchase price

  $ 30,128  
       

        For pro forma purposes, the fair value of the BioSante common stock used in determining the purchase price was $1.23 per share based on the closing price of BioSante common stock on December 31, 2012. The fair value of the BioSante stock options was determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumption: (i) stock price of $1.23, which is the value ascribed to the BioSante common stock in determining the purchase price, (ii) volatility of 90 percent; risk-free interest rate of 0.19 percent, and (iii) a weighted average expected life of 1.12 years. All outstanding BioSante options will fully vest upon completion of the merger. The combined company will expense all transaction costs as incurred.

        The estimated acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2012 comprises (table in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 34,794  

Receivables and other current assets

    379  

Intangible assets

    9,067  

Other assets

    1,382  

Convertible senior notes, including interest

    (7,927 )

Other assumed liabilities

    (7,567 )
       

Total

  $ 30,128  
       

        The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values of assets, including identifiable intangible assets, acquired, and the fair values of liabilities assumed as of the date that the merger is completed. BioSante and ANI believe that the historical values of BioSante's current assets and current liabilities, excluding the convertible senior notes, approximate their fair value based on the short term nature of such items. The convertible senior notes historically have been recorded at fair value; and accordingly, no adjustment to the historical recorded value of the convertible senior notes is necessary. BioSante and ANI believe that the fair value of BioSante's investments as of the merger completion date will be based on an updated valuation expected to be performed during the second quarter of 2013 in light of an announcement by Ceregene on April 19, 2013 that data from one of Ceregene's Phase 2 clinical studies did not demonstrate statistically significant efficacy on the primary endpoint. The only identifiable intangible assets are BioSante's developed technology, which consists primarily of its intellectual property related to BioSante's male testosterone gel. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will remain preliminary until the combined company completes a valuation of significant identifiable intangible assets acquired and determines the fair values of other assets and liabilities acquired. Based on such valuation, any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired will be allocated to goodwill, although at this time, based on preliminary valuation estimates, BioSante and ANI do not believe there will be any goodwill resulting from the merger. The final determination of the fair values is expected to be completed as soon as practicable after completion of the merger. The final amounts could differ from the amounts presented

in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, because the amounts allocated will not be determined until the date of the merger.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

        The pro forma adjustments are as follows:

    (A)
    Represents the elimination of BioSante's accumulated deficit and the adjustment to outstanding common stock to reflect the additional shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to the ANI stockholders in the merger.

    (B)
    Represents the estimated fair value of BioSante's identifiable intangible assets, representing developed technology, acquired in the merger. BioSante's developed technology consists primarily of its intellectual property related to BioSante's male testosterone gel. The estimated fair value of the male testosterone gel represents the majority of the estimated fair value of the developed technology. These estimated fair values are based on a preliminary valuation that discounted the forecasted, estimated future net cash flows to be generated from the respective technologies. The final determination of the fair values is expected to be completed as soon as practicable after completion of the merger.

    (C)
    Represents the elimination of ANI's historical common stock equity accounts.

    (D)
    Represents the elimination and/or exchange of ANI preferred stock for BioSante common stock in connection with the merger. Pursuant to the terms of ANI's capital stock, only the ANI series D preferred stockholders are expected to receive shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger. See adjustment (H) below.

    (E)
    Reflects BioSante and ANI estimated transaction costs payable in cash that have not been incurred as of December 31, 2012. The amounts include $2.4 million of anticipated costs for BioSante and $0.8 million of anticipated costs for ANI. The $2.4 million of anticipated BioSante costs consist of $0.2 million investment banking firm transaction fees, $1.9 million in legal, accounting and filing fees and $0.3 million in insurance, which costs are included in assumed liabilities in allocating the purchase price. BioSante also has incurred $1.0 million of transaction costs, principally legal and accounting fees, through December 31, 2012. The $0.8 million of anticipated ANI costs consist of $0.4 million of advisory/monitoring fees and $0.4 million of legal and accounting fees. ANI also has incurred $0.9 million of transaction costs, principally legal and accounting fees, through December 31, 2012.

    (F)
    Represents the accrual $2.5 million of retention, change of control and severance obligations for certain employees of BioSante that will become due upon closing of the merger, consisting of $2.4 million for change of control and severance and $0.1 million of retention.

    (G)
    Represents the amortization of BioSante's developed technology over an estimated useful life of seven years based on the weighted-average remaining life of the patents underlying such technology.

    (H)
    Represents the shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to holders of ANI series D preferred stock in connection with the merger at an assumed estimated exchange ratio of 12.2901. No fractional shares of BioSante common stock will be issued in connection with the merger and holders of ANI series D preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu

      thereof. Cash paid in lieu of fractional shares will be from existing cash balances which has not been reflected due to immateriality.

    (I)
    Represents the tax effect of the above pro forma adjustments as calculated at the statutory rate. The tax effect of the adjustments is determined to be zero because it relates to a non-deductible expense for tax purposes. In addition, the combined company will have available net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and research and development carryforwards that may be utilized to offset any current income and related taxes. Utilization of the NOL and research and development carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Code, as well as similar state provisions. It is expected that the combined company will continue to provide a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

    (J)
    Represents the elimination of ANI preferred stock dividends as there will be no preferred stock outstanding after the merger.

    (K)
    Represents transaction bonuses due to certain members of ANI management upon the closing of the merger transaction which will be paid in shares of ANI series D preferred stock which will convert into BioSante common stock as described in the section entitled "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Executive Compensation—Transaction Bonus Agreements and Related Arrangements" beginning on page 272.

    (L)
    On April 19, 2013, Ceregene, Inc., an early stage pharmaceutical development company in which BioSante is an investor, announced that data from one of Ceregene's Phase 2 clinical studies did not demonstrate statistically significant efficacy on the primary endpoint. As a result, BioSante and ANI believe that the fair value of this investment as of the merger completion date will be less than its historical book value. An updated analysis of fair value to determine impairment, if any, of BioSante's investment in Ceregene has not yet been performed, but for purposes of this proforma presentation the fair value of all of BioSante's cost-basis' investments is estimated to be $1.2 million.

Director Independence

        Prior to completion of the merger, the BioSante board of directors will affirmatively determine which of the seven individuals that will serve as directors of the combined company is an "independent director" as defined under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market provide a list of disqualifying criteria for the independence determination. For example, under these rules, a director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the company or by any parent or subsidiary of the company, other than prior employment as an interim chairman or interim chief executive officer, would not be considered independent. No director qualifies as independent unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a material relationship with the listed company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Based on information provided by the directors and by BioSante and ANI with regard to each of the seven individuals expected to serve as a member of the board of directors of the combined company and such individual's business and personal activities as they may relate to BioSante, ANI, the combined company and their respective management, it is anticipated that all of the seven individuals that will serve as directors of the combined company will be "independent" other than Mr. Przybyl, Mr. Brown and Mr. Penn.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

        It is anticipated that the policies and procedures of the combined company with respect to the review, approval or ratification of related-person transactions will be substantially similar to BioSante's current policies and procedures on such matters.

BioSante Related Transactions

        The BioSante board of directors has delegated to the audit and finance committee, pursuant to the terms of a written policy, the authority to review, approve and ratify related party transactions. If it is not feasible for the audit and finance committee to take an action with respect to a proposed related party transaction, the BioSante board of directors or another committee of the BioSante board of directors, may approve or ratify it. No member of the BioSante board of directors or any committee may participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related party transaction with respect to which such member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related party.

        BioSante's policy defines a "related party transaction" as a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which BioSante (including any of its subsidiaries) were, are or will be a participant and in which any related party had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest.

        Prior to entering into or amending any related party transaction, the party involved must provide notice to BioSante's finance department of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction, including:

    the related party's relationship to BioSante and his or her interest in the transaction;

    the material facts of the proposed related party transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction or, in the case of indebtedness, the amount of principal that would be involved;

    the purpose and benefits of the proposed related party transaction with respect to BioSante;

    if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and

    an assessment of whether the proposed related party transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally.

278


Table of Contents

        If BioSante's finance department determines the proposed transaction is a related party transaction and the amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $10,000 in any calendar year, the proposed transaction is submitted to the audit and finance committee for its prior review and approval or ratification. In determining whether to approve or ratify a proposed related party transaction, the Audit and Finance Committee will consider, among other things, the following:

    the purpose of the transaction;

    the benefits of the transaction to BioSante;

    the impact on a director's independence in the event the related party is a non-employee director, an immediate family member of a non-employee director or an entity in which a non-employee director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer;

    the availability of other sources for comparable products or services;

    the terms of the transaction; and

    the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally.

        Related party transactions that involve $10,000 or less must be disclosed to the audit and finance committee but are not required to be approved or ratified by the audit and finance committee.

        BioSante also produces quarterly reports to the audit and finance committee of any amounts paid or payable to, or received or receivable from, any related party. These reports allow BioSante to identify any related party transactions that were not previously approved or ratified. In that event, the transaction will be promptly submitted to the audit and finance committee for consideration of all the relevant facts and circumstances, including those considered when a transaction is submitted for pre-approval. Under BioSante's policy, certain related party transactions as defined under the policy, such as certain transactions not requiring disclosure under the rules of the SEC, will be deemed to be pre-approved by the audit and finance committee and will not be subject to these procedures.

        There were no related party transactions for BioSante during 2012, and as of the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were no related party transaction for BioSante during 2013.

ANI Related Transactions

        ANI does not have a formal policy on related party transactions, but it conducts a review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis and all such transactions relating to directors and executive officers must be approved by the independent and disinterested members of the ANI board of directors. There were no related party transactions for ANI during 2010, 2011, 2012 and as of the latest practicable date before the printing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were no related party transaction for ANI during 2013, except as described below:

    Director and Executive Officer Compensation

        Please see "Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger—Director Compensation" and "—Executive Compensation" for information regarding the compensation of ANI's directors and those of its executive officers who will continue as executive officers of the combined company and for information regarding employment, bonus and other agreements ANI has in place with such directors and/or executive officers.

        In addition, under the related note purchase agreement, dated as of January 28, 2011, among ANI, Meridian Venture Partners II, L.P. and the other lenders party thereto, ANI agreed to pay to MVP Management an annual fee of $160,000 for monitoring and advisory services and to HVC an annual fee of $40,000 for advisory services. In 2011, ANI paid no such fees to MVP Management or HVC. In 2012, ANI paid $240,000 in such fees to MVP Management and $60,000 to HVC. The obligation of ANI to continue to pay such fees under the note purchase agreement will terminate upon the closing of the merger. However, upon closing of the merger, certain additional fees are payable to MVP and HVC, as further described under "—Monitoring and Advisory Fee Agreements" below.

        On June 6, 2012, all of the then outstanding convertible notes and accrued interest were converted into shares of ANI series D preferred stock. As of December 31, 2012, no convertible notes remained outstanding.

Table of Contents

    Monitoring and Advisory Fee Agreements

        In contemplation of the prior merger, ANI entered into separate agreements with MVP Management and HVC as of October 3, 2012. ANI refers to these agreements as the monitoring and advisory fee agreements.

        Under the monitoring and advisory fee agreements, ANI agreed to make the following payments at the closing of the merger:

    fees in the amount of $350,000 to MVP Management and $40,000 to HVC, which fees represent reasonable compensation and fair value for overall management, deal structuring, financial advisory and due diligence services provided by MVP Management and HVC, respectively, in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and

    the accrued but unpaid portion (pro-rated through the closing date of the merger) of the monitoring and advisory fees owed to MVP Management and HVC, respectively, by ANI pursuant to Section 15.4 of the note purchase agreement, which are expected not to exceed $53,334 for MVP Capital and $13,333 for HVC, assuming a closing date on or before July 31, 2013.


Director Compensation

        It is anticipated that at least initially the compensation to be paid to the combined company's directors after the merger will be substantially similar to the compensation currently paid to members of the BioSante board of directors. It is anticipated, however, that the cash and equity non-employee director compensation policies described below will be reviewed by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and may be subject to change.

        The principal elements of BioSante's director compensation program currently include:

    annual cash retainers;

    meeting fees; and

    long-term equity-based incentive compensation, in the form of stock options.

        BioSante does not compensate directors who are employees of BioSante separately for serving on the BioSante board of directors. BioSante does, however, reimburse each member of the BioSante board of directors, including directors who are employees of BioSante, for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board and board committee meetings.

        Currently, ANI reimburses its directors for all reasonable and necessary travel and other incidental expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the ANI board of directors. ANI's directors do not receive compensation in connection with their board or committee service or attendance at meetings. Any board compensation to be received by Messrs. Brown and Penn after completion of the merger, under the terms of the MVP II limited partnership agreement, will be turned over to MVP Management, which in turn will forward in excess of 50 percent of that amount to MVP II or credit it against future management fees owed by MVP II to MVP Management. Similarly, any board compensation to be received by Dr. Marshbanks will be credited against any management fees paid by the First Analysis funds.

In addition, BioSante's chairman of the board receives an additional automatic option grant. The options have a ten-year term and an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the BioSante common stock on the grant date. The initial options vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments and the annual options vest and become exercisable in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

Indemnification Agreements

        BioSante has entered into, and it is anticipated that the combined company will enter into, agreements with all of its directors under which the combined company will be required to indemnify them against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of the combined company's directors. The combined company will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the combined company. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the combined company will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

It is anticipated, however, that the compensation to be paid to the executive officers of the combined company after the merger will be reviewed by the compensation committee of the board of directors of the combined company following completion of the merger and may be subject to change.

On April 5, 2012, the ANI board, after considering, among other things, the fact that ANI's executive officers did not receive bonuses for 2010 and 2011, resolved to pay special bonuses in the form of interests in the proceeds of an exit transaction. The terms of such bonuses, which are not included in the table above, were memorialized in the transaction bonus agreements described

    Employment Agreements

    Arthur S. Przybyl

        Mr. Przybyl currently serves as ANI's Chief Executive Officer. In February 2009, ANI entered into an employment letter agreement with Mr. Przybyl commencing on March 9, 2009. The term of the agreement is open-ended; therefore, Mr. Przybyl is free to resign for any reason or for no reason and ANI is free to conclude the at-will employment relationship with Mr. Przybyl at any time, with or without cause, subject to certain severance provisions described below.

        Under the agreement, Mr. Przybyl's original annual base salary was $325,000, subject to a 10 percent increase on the first anniversary of the letter agreement if ANI achieves positive earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) during the first year of the letter agreement. Mr. Przybyl's current annual base salary is $375,375. In addition to his salary, Mr. Przybyl receives an automobile allowance of $10,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments. Mr. Przybyl is also eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of which is up to 50 percent of his base salary, based on the achievement of certain individual and corporate objectives, as determined by the ANI board of directors.

        Pursuant to the agreement, as of March 9, 2009, Mr. Przybyl was to receive an option under ANI's 2005 Stock Option Plan to purchase 17,005 shares of ANI common stock at an exercise price of $110.00 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the option and the exercise price have been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split in January 2011. This option was never granted.

        The employment agreement also specifies that Mr. Przybyl was entitled to a one-time bonus upon a sale of ANI; however, Mr. Przybyl forfeited this one-time bonus in connection with the execution of the transaction bonus agreement described below.

        Under the terms of the employment agreement, if Mr. Przybyl is terminated by ANI other than for cause, upon the receipt from him of a release in form and substance satisfactory to ANI, he is entitled to receive, in addition to unpaid salary and expenses and payment of accrued incentive compensation amounts, (i) an amount equal to his base salary for a period of 12 months, which amount may be paid, at ANI's election, either in a lump sum or by salary continuation, and a prorated portion of his targeted annual bonus to the extent that the corresponding objectives are achieved prior to the termination of employment and (ii) amounts or reimbursements for the premiums to continue health insurance coverage as in effect at the time of the termination of employment for a period of 12 months under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA).

    Charlotte C. Arnold

        Ms. Arnold currently serves as ANI's Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In May 2009, ANI entered into an employment letter agreement with Ms. Arnold commencing on May 14, 2009. The term of the agreement is as described above under "—Arthur S. Przybyl."

        Under the agreement, Ms. Arnold's original annual base salary was $210,000. Ms. Arnold's current annual base salary is $242,550. Ms. Arnold is eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of which is up to 40 percent of her base salary, based on the achievement of certain individual and corporate objectives, as determined by the ANI board of directors.

        Pursuant to the agreement, as of May 14, 2009, Ms. Arnold was to receive an option under ANI's 2005 Stock Option Plan to purchase 3,250 shares of ANI common stock at an exercise price of $110.00 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the option and the exercise price have been adjusted for the 1-for-10 reverse stock split in January 2011. This option was never granted.

        The employment agreement furthermore specifies that Ms. Arnold was entitled to a one-time bonus upon a sale of ANI; however, Ms. Arnold forfeited this one-time bonus in connection with the execution of the transaction bonus agreement described below.

        Under the terms of the employment agreement, if Ms. Arnold is terminated by ANI other than for cause, upon the receipt from her of a release in form and substance satisfactory to ANI, she is entitled to receive, in addition to unpaid salary and expenses and payment of accrued incentive compensation amounts, (i) an amount equal to her base salary for a period of 12 months, which amount may be paid, at ANI's election, either in a lump sum or by salary continuation, and a prorated portion of her targeted annual bonus to the extent that the corresponding objectives are achieved prior to the termination of employment and (ii) amounts or reimbursements for the premiums to continue health insurance coverage as in effect at the time of the termination of employment for a period of 12 months under COBRA.

    James G. Marken

        Mr. Marken currently serves as ANI's Vice President, Operations. On May 1, 2007 ANI entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Marken, for the period commencing on May 1, 2007 and ending on the second anniversary of such date. The term of the agreement is automatically extended for an additional year on each anniversary unless 90 days' prior written notice of non-extension is provided by either party.

        Under the agreement, Mr. Marken's original annual base salary was $147,000. Mr. Marken's current annual base salary is $246,015. Mr. Marken is also eligible for an annual cash bonus, the target of up to 35 percent of his base salary, based on the achievement of certain corporate objectives. The corporate objectives will be determined by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with Mr. Marken, while the achievement of such objectives will be determined by the compensation committee of the ANI board of directors.

        Pursuant to the agreement, as of May 1, 2007, Mr. Marken was granted an option, under ANI's 2005 Stock Option Plan, as amended, to purchase 1,750 shares of ANI common stock at an exercise price of $110.00 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the option and the exercise price have been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split in January 2011. The option, which has a term of ten years, vested monthly over 60 months. Mr. Marken forfeited this option in connection with the execution of the transaction bonus agreement described below.

        Under the terms of the employment agreement, if Mr. Marken is terminated by ANI other than for cause or he resigns for good reason, he is entitled to receive, in addition to unpaid salary and expenses and payment of accrued incentive compensation amounts, (1) severance payments in the form

289


Table of Contents

of a continuation of his base salary in effect immediately prior to the termination for a period of 12 months following the termination in exchange for a release of claims he may have against ANI, (2) any earned (with respect to his prior full year of employment), but unpaid bonus, and a prorated portion of the current year's bonus, determined by ANI in the ordinary course consistent with past practice; (3) continuing his participation through the severance period in any health benefits in which he was participating on the effective date of such termination; and (4) providing him any other benefits that have accrued or vested but have not been paid as of the effective date of such termination, all of which are payable in consideration for and only after he executes a mutual release of claims. If ANI elects not to renew Mr. Marken's employment agreement upon the expiration of the third renewal term after the expiration of the initial term or any successive renewal term, it will be under no obligation to provide severance benefits. The third renewal term has passed.

        Termination "with good reason" is defined as a termination by Mr. Marken for (1) any substantial diminution in his position or status, duties or authority with ANI; (2) any reduction in his base salary; (3) the relocation of ANI's principal office outside of a 50 mile radius of Baudette, Minnesota or ANI requiring Mr. Marken to be based at any place other than within a 50 mile radius of Baudette, Minnesota, except, in each instance, for reasonably required business travel from time to time; and (4) any material breach by ANI of any agreement or covenant made in the employment agreement, which breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice to ANI or is incapable of cure.

        Termination "for good cause" is defined as a termination for (1) willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance or intentional nonperformance of any of employee's material duties and responsibilities; (2) employee's continued and willful refusal promptly to follow any lawful direction of the Chief Executive Officer or the ANI board of directors; (3) employee's willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance or intentional nonperformance of numerous of his duties and responsibilities (regardless of materiality), which in the aggregate, constitute material nonperformance; (4) employee's willful misrepresentation, fraud, alcohol or illegal drug abuse, or material misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of ANI, which materially and adversely affects the operations, prospects or reputation of ANI; (5) employee's conviction of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; (6) employee's material breach of any fiduciary duty owed to ANI or breach of the non-competition provisions or material breach of confidential information and trade secret provisions, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice or is incapable of cure; or (7) any other willful and material breach that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice or is incapable of cure.

        ANI did not execute an employment letter agreement with Robert J. Jamnick.

    Transaction Bonus Agreements and Related Arrangements

    Arthur S. Przybyl

        Pursuant to a transaction bonus agreement, dated September 22, 2012, as amended on December 28, 2012 and as further amended on April 12, 2013, between ANI and Mr. Przybyl, Mr. Przybyl is entitled to receive a bonus based on the net proceeds to the ANI stockholders from the consummation of a "change of control" transaction.

        As defined in the agreement, a change of control occurs in connection with (a) any merger involving ANI where the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding equity of the surviving entity are third parties; (b) the sale or transfer of a majority of ANI's equity interests to one or more third parties; (c) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of ANI's assets to a third party; (d) completion of an initial public offering of ANI's stock, or (e) ANI becoming a publicly traded company through any other transaction, in each case with the result that net proceeds are available for distribution to the ANI stockholders.

290


Table of Contents

        Under the agreement, Mr. Przybyl agreed to forfeit any stock options or other equity right granted to him by ANI prior to the date of the agreement, including, without limitation, the transaction bonus issuable pursuant to his employment letter agreement, as described above.

        Under the agreement, the aggregate transaction bonus payable to Mr. Przybyl by ANI will be as follows, based on the net proceeds (including contingency proceeds, if applicable) available for distribution to ANI stockholders: (i) if the net proceeds are between $6,500,000 and $16,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will equal 6 percent of the net proceeds, (ii) if the net proceeds are between $16,500,000 and $26,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will be $600,000 plus 7.722 percent of the net proceeds over $16,499,999 to $26,499,999, and (iii) if the net proceeds are greater than $26,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will be $1,372,200 plus 7.722 percent of the net proceeds in excess of $26,500,000.

        The agreement originally provided that ANI would pay Mr. Przybyl's transaction bonus in two parts, as follows: (a) 100 percent of the closing date bonus would be paid within five days following the closing date of the change of control transaction and (b) 100 percent of the contingency bonus, if any, would be paid within five days following the 24-month anniversary of the closing date. The "closing date bonus" is the portion of the aggregate transaction bonus that is determined based solely on the portion of the net proceeds that are paid at closing. The "contingency bonus" is the portion of the aggregate transaction bonus determined after taking into account all net proceeds paid through the second anniversary of the closing date (including, without limitation, any amounts related to the current ANI stockholders from an indemnity escrow and any earnout payments that paid within this time frame) that exceeds the closing date bonus. In the current merger transaction, the entire transaction bonus will be paid at closing in shares of ANI series D preferred stock, which will automatically be converted into BioSante common stock at the completion of the merger. Since all of the net proceeds in the merger transaction will be paid at closing, Mr. Przybyl will be entitled to receive a closing day bonus but no contingency bonus. For Mr. Przybyl and Ms. Arnold, the agreements were amended on December 28, 2012 to provide for revised timing of the payout as described under "—Tax Withholding Arrangements" below.

        Under the terms of the agreement, if Mr. Przybyl is discharged involuntarily, without cause (as defined in the agreement), or resigns from employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement), within 180 days prior to the closing date of the change of control transaction, he is still entitled to receive the transaction bonus payment.

        The agreement acknowledges that the merger between Merger Sub and ANI qualifies as a change of control. The net proceeds of the merger are calculated as the product of (a) the average closing sale price of the BioSante common stock for the five trading days prior to the execution of the merger agreement (which occurred on April 12, 2013) and (b) the aggregate number of shares of BioSante common stock to be issued to the ANI stockholders in the merger.

        The agreement and the right to receive a transaction bonus automatically terminates and is voided upon the earlier of (a) Mr. Przybyl's separation from service of ANI for any reason other than as specifically permitted in the agreement, and (b) the occurrence of a bankruptcy event (as defined in the agreement).

    Charlotte C. Arnold

        The remaining terms of Ms. Arnold's agreement are substantially identical to the terms of Mr. Przybyl's agreement described above.

        The remaining terms of Mr. Marken's agreement are substantially identical to the terms of Mr. Przybyl's agreement described above, with the timing of the bonus payout in the current merger transaction as described under "—Tax Withholding Arrangements" below.

    Robert J. Jamnick

        Pursuant to a transaction bonus agreement, dated September 22, 2012, as amended on April 12, 2013, between ANI and Mr. Jamnick, Mr. Jamnick is entitled to receive a bonus based on the net proceeds raised in connection with the consummation of a "change of control" transaction, including the proposed merger between BioSante and ANI.

        Under the agreement, the aggregate transaction bonus payable to Mr. Jamnick by ANI will be as follows, based on the net proceeds (or contingency proceeds, if applicable) available for distribution to ANI stockholders: (i) if the net proceeds are between $6,500,000 and $16,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will equal 1 percent of the net proceeds, (ii) if the net proceeds are between $16,500,000 and $26,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will be $100,000 plus 1.732 percent of the net proceeds over $16,499,999 to $26,499,999, and (iii) if the net proceeds are greater than $26,499,999, the transaction bonus payment will be $273,200 plus 1.732 percent of the net proceeds in excess of $26,500,000.

        The remaining terms of Mr. Jamnick's agreement are substantially identical to the terms of Mr. Przybyl's agreement described above, with the timing of the bonus payout in the current merger transaction as described under "—Tax Withholding Arrangements" below.

    Tax Withholding Arrangements

        As described above, certain executive officers of ANI will be paid transaction bonuses at the closing of the merger. Even though the bonuses are to be paid in stock, the combined company will have to withhold amounts sufficient to meet its various state and federal tax withholding obligations, which are paid in cash. ANI and its executive officers expect to enter into the following arrangements to enable the combined company to make such withholdings:

    Mr. Przybyl and Ms. Arnold

        Immediately prior to closing of the merger, all of the shares of ANI series D preferred stock payable to Mr. Przybyl and Ms. Arnold pursuant to the transaction bonus arrangements referenced above will be placed into a rabbi trust, which will remain in place until March 5, 2014. As a result of completion of the merger, those shares of ANI series D preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of BioSante common stock. There will be no taxes payable on the shares until they are released from the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust will provide that during the period commencing on the closing of the merger and ending on March 5, 2014, shares will be released ratably on a weekly basis to a broker/dealer, who would, pursuant to a trading plan to be entered into by the executive and the broker/dealer in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act prior to closing of the merger, promptly sell a sufficient number of shares of BioSante common stock to pay the required tax withholding amounts on the released shares (expected to be 37.1 percent of such shares for Ms. Arnold and 46.49 percent of such shares for Mr. Przybyl). Although Mr. Przybyl and Ms. Arnold are subject to a six month lock up period following the closing of the merger, the sales of stock pursuant to Mr. Przybyl's and Ms. Arnold's 10b5-1 plan are exempted from the lock-up.

        The combined company will calculate the amount of required tax withholding (including the employee portion of FICA, as well as income taxes) on the released shares on a weekly basis (based on the then current fair market value of such shares). After completing each sale, the broker/dealer will transfer sufficient sale proceeds to the combined company to satisfy the executive's tax withholding obligations and transfer any remaining released shares to or as directed by the executive. All such sales pursuant to the rabbi trust and such 10b5-1 plan must be completed by March 15, 2014. All such sales by the rabbi trust will be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including the applicable volume limitations.

    Messrs. Marken and Jamnick

        Immediately prior to closing of the merger, Messrs. Marken and Jamnick, who are not subject to any lock-up period, will receive shares of ANI series D preferred stock payable pursuant to the transaction bonus arrangements referenced above. As a result of the merger, those shares of ANI series D preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of BioSante common stock. All of these shares will be delivered to a broker/dealer who would, pursuant to a trading plan to be entered into by the executive and the broker/dealer pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act prior to closing of the merger, promptly sell a sufficient number of shares of BioSante common stock to pay the required tax withholding amounts on the released shares. The combined company will calculate the amount of required tax withholding (including the employee portion of FICA, as well as income taxes) on the released shares on a weekly basis (based on the then current fair market value of such shares). After completing each sale, the broker/dealer will transfer sufficient sale proceeds to the combined company to satisfy the executive's tax withholding obligations and transfer any remaining released shares to or as directed by the executive. All such sales will be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including the applicable volume limitations.

    Indemnification Agreements

        BioSante has entered into, and it is anticipated that the combined company will enter into, agreements with all of its officers under which the combined company will be required to indemnify them against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of the combined company's officers. The combined company will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the combined company. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the combined company will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

    vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of the change in control. Option exercise prices and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the options have been adjusted to reflect ANI's one-for-ten reverse stock split on January 28, 2011.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

            It is anticipated that the compensation committee of the combined company will consist of Dr. Marshbanks, Mr. Mangano and Mr. Schrepfer. Each member of the compensation committee is an "outside" director as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and a "non-employee" director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. None of the combined company's executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who will serve on the combined company's board of directors or compensation committee following the merger.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF BIOSANTE

            The following table sets forth information known to BioSante with respect to the beneficial ownership of each class of BioSante capital stock as of April 15, 2013 for:

    each person known by BioSante to beneficially own more than five percent of any class of BioSante's voting securities;

    each of BioSante's directors;

    each of BioSante's executive officers; and

    all of BioSante's current directors and executive officers as a group.

        The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013. Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all shares that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013 are outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of BioSante capital stock owned by such person or group. However, such unissued shares of BioSante capital stock are not deemed to be outstanding for calculating the percentage of BioSante capital stock owned by any other person. Except as otherwise indicated and subject to the voting agreements described under the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements," BioSante believes that the beneficial owners of BioSante capital stock listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable. Unless otherwise indicated in the notes below, the address for each of the stockholders in the table below is c/o BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 111 Barclay Boulevard, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF ANI

        The following table sets forth information known to ANI with respect to the beneficial ownership of each class of ANI capital stock as of April 15, 2013 for:

    each person known by ANI to beneficially own more than five percent of any class of ANI's voting securities;

    each of ANI's directors;

    each of ANI's executive officers; and

    all of ANI's current directors and executive officers as a group.

        The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013. Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all shares that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options or warrants currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013 are outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ANI capital stock owned by such person or group. However, such unissued shares of ANI capital stock are not deemed to be outstanding for calculating the percentage of ANI capital stock owned by any other person. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes below and subject to the voting agreements described under the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements," ANI believes that the beneficial owners of ANI capital stock listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Table of Contents


PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF COMBINED COMPANY

        The following table sets forth information as of April 15, 2013 with respect to the beneficial ownership of each class of capital stock of the combined company upon completion of the merger for:

    each person known by BioSante and ANI that is expected to beneficially own more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the combined company upon completion of the merger;

    each director of the combined company;

    each named executive officer of the combined company; and

    all directors and named executive officers of the combined company as a group.

        Percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 24,422,240 shares of BioSante common stock outstanding and 65,211 shares of BioSante class C special stock outstanding and 2,615,001 shares of ANI capital stock outstanding as of April 15, 2013. The percent of common stock and class C special stock of the combined company is based on 57,236,744 shares of common stock and 65,211 shares of class C special stock of the combined company outstanding upon completion of the merger and assumes that the exchange ratio for the ANI series D preferred stock is 12.2901 shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series D preferred stock and the exchange ratio for the ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock is zero shares of BioSante common stock for each share of ANI series C preferred stock, ANI series B preferred stock, ANI series A preferred stock and ANI common stock (after giving effect to the anticipated issuance of an estimated 294,688 shares of ANI series D preferred stock to ANI's executive officers and an additional ANI employee in connection with the transaction bonus arrangements as described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus).

        The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013. Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all shares that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options and warrants currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013 are outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of capital stock of the combined company owned by such person or group. However, such unissued shares of capital stock are not deemed to be outstanding for calculating the percentage of capital stock owned by any other person. Except as otherwise indicated and subject to the voting agreements described under the section entitled "Voting and Other Ancillary Agreements," BioSante and ANI believe that the beneficial owners of capital stock listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable. Unless otherwise indicated in the notes below, the address

BioSante common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of a majority of the shares of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock entitled to vote in any election of directors, voting together as a single class, can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they so choose. Subject to limitations under Delaware law and preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of BioSante common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared by the BioSante board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BioSante, the holders of BioSante common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of BioSante's debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. All shares of outstanding BioSante common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of BioSante common stock do not have preemptive or subscription rights, and they have no right to convert their BioSante common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the BioSante common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of BioSante common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock which BioSante may designate in the future. BioSante's certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not restrict the ability of a holder of BioSante common stock to transfer the holder's shares of BioSante common stock.


Class C Special Stock

Each share of BioSante class C special stock is exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for one share of BioSante common stock, at an exchange price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain capitalization events.

        The BioSante board of directors is authorized, without approval of BioSante stockholders subject to any limitations prescribed by law and imposed by the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Global Market, to issue up to an aggregate of 10.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences. The rights of the holders of BioSante common stock and BioSante class C special stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The BioSante board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions more favorable than the BioSante common stock or BioSante class C special stock and with rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of holders of the BioSante common stock or BioSante class C special stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of BioSante's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law

        Some provisions of BioSante's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of BioSante by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of BioSante by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of BioSante's incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that BioSante stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in BioSante's best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for BioSante's shares.

        These provisions, summarized below, are designed to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions also are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of BioSante to first negotiate with the BioSante board of directors. The BioSante board of directors believes that the benefits of increased protection of its potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure BioSante outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        The following provisions in BioSante's certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in BioSante's management, including transactions that BioSante stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in BioSante's best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for BioSante's shares.

    Authorized But Unissued Capital Stock.   BioSante has shares of BioSante common stock, BioSante class C special stock and undesignated preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Global Market. BioSante may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including for future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions or for payment as a dividend on its capital stock. The existence of unissued and unreserved capital stock may enable the BioSante board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of BioSante by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of BioSante's management. In addition, the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the BioSante board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of BioSante. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of BioSante.

    Stockholder Meetings.   BioSante's bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by BioSante's chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer, or by the BioSante board of directors.

    Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.   BioSante's bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the BioSante board of directors or a committee of the BioSante board of directors.

    No Cumulative Voting Rights.   BioSante's certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights. The holders of a majority of the shares of BioSante common stock

306


Table of Contents

      and BioSante class C special stock entitled to vote in any election of directors, voting together as a single class, can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they so choose.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

        As a Delaware corporation, BioSante is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This law prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

    prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

    upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85 percent of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Section 203 defines "business combination" to include:

    any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

    any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10 percent or more of the corporation's assets involving the interested stockholder;

    in general, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any of its stock to the interested stockholder; or

    the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.


Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

        BioSante's certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director's liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a director's duty of loyalty or acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.

        In addition, BioSante's certificate of incorporation contains provisions to indemnify BioSante's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.


Listing of BioSante Common Stock

        BioSante common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "BPAX."

        NASDAQ considers the merger proposed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to be a business combination with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change in control of BioSante and has required

307


Table of Contents

that BioSante submit a new initial listing application. Because it is possible that the minimum bid price of BioSante's common stock will not be at least $4.00 upon completion of the merger, it is possible that the new initial listing application will be denied by NASDAQ and NASDAQ will issue the combined company a delisting letter immediately after completion of the merger. If this occurs, the combined company intends to take all reasonable action in order to maintain the listing of its common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the combined company will be successful. If the combined company's common stock continues to be listed on The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market, the combined company expects that its trading symbol will be changed to "ANIP."


Transfer Agent and Registrar

        The transfer agent and registrar for BioSante common stock is Computershare Investor Services, LLC.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF BIOSANTE STOCK AND ANI STOCK

        Both BioSante and ANI are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Any differences, therefore, in the rights of BioSante stockholders and ANI stockholders arise primarily from differences in their respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, holders of ANI series D preferred stock will receive shares of BioSante common stock in exchange for their shares of ANI series D preferred stock. As a result, upon completion of the merger, the rights of holders of ANI series D preferred stock who become holders of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger will be governed by the DGCL, BioSante's certificate of incorporation and BioSante's bylaws.

        The following table compares the material differences between the current rights of ANI stockholders under ANI's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are referred to as the ANI charter and ANI bylaws, respectively, and the current rights of BioSante stockholders under BioSante's current certificate of incorporation, which is referred to as the BioSante charter, and BioSante bylaws.

        BioSante has filed copies of the BioSante charter and the BioSante bylaws with the SEC. In addition, copies of the BioSante charter, the BioSante bylaws, the ANI charter and the ANI bylaws will be sent to holders of BioSante common stock or ANI common stock upon request. See "Where You Can Find More Information." Because this summary does not provide a complete description of these documents, BioSante and ANI urge you to read each of their charters and bylaws as well as the amended BioSante charter in their entirety.

Certain Business Combinations / Anti-takeover Provisions
 

Under Delaware law, a privately held corporation is not subject to section 203 of the DGCL, which generally protects publicly held Delaware corporations from unfair transactions and tactics by persons who acquire large blocks of stock without prior board approval, unless its certificate of incorporation otherwise provides. ANI has not made this election and is therefore not subject to the restrictions of section 203 of the DGCL.

 

Under Delaware law, a corporation can elect not to be governed by section 203 of the DGCL, which generally protects publicly held Delaware corporations from unfair transactions and tactics by persons who acquire large blocks of stock without prior board approval. BioSante has not made this election and is therefore subject to the restrictions of section 203 of the DGCL.
    In general, section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested" stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes certain mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to exceptions, an "interested" stockholder is a person who, alone or together with his affiliates and associates, owns 15 percent or more of the corporation's voting stock.
    These provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of BioSante or reducing the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for BioSante common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Lincolnshire, Illinois

        We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

        We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2013 (April 26, 2013 as to the last paragraph in Note 1, the first paragraph in Note 3 and the last twelve paragraphs in Note 15) expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

(the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for female sexual health, menopause, contraception and male hypogonadism. The Company's products, either approved or in human clinical development, include: (1) LibiGel, once daily transdermal testosterone gel in Phase III development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD); (2) a once daily transdermal testosterone gel approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated for the treatment of hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency in men, and licensed to Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva); (3) The Pill-Plus (triple component contraceptive), once daily use of various combinations of estrogens, progestogens and androgens in Phase II development; and (4) Elestrin, once daily transdermal estradiol (estrogen) gel approved by the FDA indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) associated with menopause and marketed in the U.S. by Meda, the Company's licensee.

        The Company's lead product in development is LibiGel for the treatment of FSD, specifically HSDD, in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved pharmaceutical product. For the past several years, the Company focused its efforts on two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials and a LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study. In December 2011, the Company announced results from its two Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, which showed that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although LibiGel performed as predicted, increasing satisfying sexual events and sexual desire and decreasing distress associated with low desire, the placebo response in the two efficacy trials was greater than expected, and LibiGel's results were not shown to be statistically different from the placebo.

        Beginning in December 2011, the Company analyzed the data from its Phase III LibiGel efficacy trials, consulted with key opinion leaders in female sexual dysfunction, testosterone therapy and placebo effects, and met with representatives of the FDA. As a result of this process, in June 2012 the Company announced a plan to initiate two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials. The Company subsequently began the process of developing a protocol for the two new efficacy trials and applying for an FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials.

        In September 2012, the Company announced that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) completed its ninth unblinded review of the LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study and recommended that the LibiGel safety study should continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modifications. At the time of the DMC review, there were 53 adjudicated cardiovascular events, with a lower than anticipated event rate of approximately 0.72 percent. In the same population of subjects, there were 27 breast cancers reported, a rate of approximately 0.37 percent, which is in line with the expected rate based on the ages of the subjects enrolled in the study. Given this latest review during which no specific or general safety issues were raised, and after extensive consideration, the Company also announced in September 2012 the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study effective immediately. Prior to the initiation of the LibiGel safety study in 2008, the FDA advised the Company that subjects in the cardiovascular event and breast cancer safety study were required to have a minimum average exposure in the safety study of 12 months prior to submitting a LibiGel new drug application (NDA), and prior to a potential FDA approval of LibiGel. As of the date of the conclusion of the safety study, subjects had been in the study for an average time of 24.5 months; more than 3,200 subjects had been in the study for more than one year and over 1,700 subjects had been enrolled for more than two years. With this ninth positive unblinded review of the study by the DMC, and over 7,400 women-years of exposure, the Company believes that adequate safety data of LibiGel use in menopausal women has been obtained.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued)

        The Company is continuing to develop a protocol for the two new LibiGel efficacy trials and intends to seek an FDA SPA agreement covering aspects of the two new efficacy trials.

        On October 3, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the Merger Agreement) with ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANI). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, ANI will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the Merger). Following completion of the Merger, the current stockholders of ANI are expected to own approximately 53 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and current stockholders of the Company are expected to own approximately 47 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, assuming the Company's "net cash" as defined in the Merger Agreement and generally consisting of the Company's cash and cash equivalents less certain expenses and liabilities, as of a determination date prior to the closing date of the Merger, is $18.0 million. The exchange ratios in the Merger are subject to potential adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement depending upon the amount of the Company's net cash as of a determination date prior to the closing date of the Merger, but in no event will the current ANI stockholders own less than 50.1 percent (or the current Company stockholders own more than 49.9 percent) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company. The pending Merger with ANI is more fully described in Note 3, "Pending Merger with ANI."

        On April 12, 2013, the Company, ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub) and ANI entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger (the New Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, and after which ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the New Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the New Merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratio described in the New Merger Agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation, and all options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled without consideration therefor, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in the Company or ANI after the New Merger. No fractional shares of common stock of the Company will be issued in connection with the New Merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ANI immediately prior to the effective time of the New Merger will own 57% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the New Merger will own 43% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Unlike the exchange ratio provision in the Prior Merger Agreement, the respective percentage ownerships of the stockholders of ANI and the Company after the New Merger are fixed at 57% and 43%, respectively, and are not subject to adjustment based on the Company's net cash. The New Merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The New Merger with ANI is more fully described in Note 15, "Subsequent Events."

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

        These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company is organized into one operating and one reporting segment.

        The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company does not have items of other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010; and therefore, has not presented comprehensive income.

        On June 1, 2012, the Company effected a one-for-six reverse split of its outstanding common stock and class C special stock. All share and per share numbers have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split effected on June 1, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company generally considers all instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest income on invested cash balances is recognized on the accrual basis as earned.

        The Company's policy is to manage its cash and cash equivalents in order to ensure maximum safety of principal. As of December 31, 2012, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents resided in a 100 percent FDIC-insured non-interest bearing checking account or a U.S. Treasury money market fund. As of December 31, 2011, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents resided in a 100 percent FDIC-insured non-interest bearing checking account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying value of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Other information about the Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is included in Note 14, "Fair Value Measurements."

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment that currently is being used in the Company's operations is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed primarily on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, typically five and seven years for software and computer equipment and 10 years for non-computer equipment.

Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to estimated recoverable value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Convertible Senior Notes

        The Company has outstanding 3.125% convertible senior note obligations, which contain certain redemption, repurchase and conversion adjustment features. The Company assumed the convertible senior notes in connection with its merger with Cell Genesys, Inc. (Cell Genesys) in October 2009. The Company made an irrevocable election to account for these convertible senior notes at fair value commencing from the date of the merger with Cell Genesys, resulting in recognition of a single liability for the convertible senior notes which are reported at fair value at each reporting date. Subsequent changes in the carrying value of the convertible senior notes are reflected in fair value adjustment in the accompanying statements of operations.

Research and Development

        Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Direct government grants are recorded as an offset to the related research and development costs when the Company has complied with the conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance that the funds will be received.

Legal Costs

        For ongoing matters, legal costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

        The basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of the shares of common stock and class C special stock outstanding, all being considered as equivalent of one another. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of diluted loss per share does not include the Company's stock options, warrants or convertible debt as such securities have an antidilutive effect on loss per share.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense granted to employees generally on a straight-line basis over the estimated service period of the award, or when certain performance-based vesting provisions occur, for awards that contain these features. The Company also has granted options to non-employees in exchange for services. Expense related to such grants is recognized within the Company's statements of operations in accordance with the nature of the service received by the Company.

        Warrants issued to non-employees as compensation for services rendered are valued at their fair value on the date of issue and are re-measured until the counterparty's performance under the arrangement is complete.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company has entered into various licensing agreements that have generated license revenue or other upfront fees and which also may involve subsequent milestone payments earned upon completion of development milestones by the Company, upon the occurrence of certain regulatory actions, such as the filing of a regulatory application or the receipt of a regulatory approval, or upon

F-11


Table of Contents

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

the achievement of certain sales-based milestones. Non-refundable license fees are recognized as revenue when the Company has a contractual right to receive such payment, the contract price is fixed or determinable, the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations under the license agreement. Non-refundable license fees that meet these criteria and are due to the Company upon execution of an agreement are recognized as revenue immediately.

        Milestones, in the form of additional license fees, typically represent non-refundable payments to be received in conjunction with the achievement of a specific event identified in the contract, such as completion of specified clinical development activities and/or regulatory submissions and/or approvals, or as sales-based milestone payments. Revenues from milestone payments that meet the criteria in the preceding paragraph are recognized when the milestone is achieved.

        Additionally, royalty revenue based upon sales of products under license is recorded when such royalties are earned and are deemed collectible, which is generally in the quarter when the related products are sold.

Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets in circumstances where management believes the recoverability of a portion of the assets is not more likely than not. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Investments

        The investments balance of $3,413,762 and $3,405,807 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 consists of the Company's investments that are recorded using the cost method, and substantially represents the Company's investment in Ceregene, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company (Ceregene). As a result of the Company's merger with Cell Genesys, the Company acquired a minority investment in Ceregene. The Company has recorded its investment using the cost method, as no active market exists for this investment, and the Company does not possess significant influence over operating and financial policies of Ceregene, although the Company by virtue of its stock ownership of Ceregene has the right to designate one member on the Ceregene board of directors. During 2010, the Company recorded a $286,000 impairment on this investment. Such impairment was based on a third-party investment in Ceregene in 2010.

        The valuation of investments accounted for under the cost method is based on all available financial information related to the investee, including valuations based on recent third party equity investments in the investee. If an unrealized loss on any investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss is recognized in the period the determination is made. All investments are reviewed for changes in circumstances or occurrence of events that suggest the investment may not be recoverable. The fair value of the cost method investments are not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments and it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. PENDING MERGER WITH ANI

Agreement and Plan of Merger

        On April 12, 2013, the Company, Merger Sub and ANI entered into the New Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, and after which ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Merger Agreement described below. The New Merger with ANI is more fully described in Note 15, "Subsequent Events."

        On October 3, 2012, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, ANI will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratios described in the Merger Agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation. All options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled at the effective time of the Merger without any consideration in exchange, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in the combined company after the Merger. No fractional shares of the Company's common stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Following completion of the Merger, the current stockholders of ANI are expected to own approximately 53 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and current stockholders of the Company are expected to own approximately 47 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, assuming the Company's "net cash" as of the determination date is $18.0 million. The exchange ratios are subject to potential adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement depending upon the amount of the Company's "net cash", as defined in the Merger Agreement and generally consisting of the Company's cash and cash equivalents less certain expenses and liabilities, as of a determination date prior to the closing date of the Merger, but in no event will the current ANI stockholders own less than 50.1 percent (or the current Company stockholders own more than 49.9 percent) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company. The Merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        The Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of five directors of ANI and two directors of the Company, and ANI's current executive officers are expected to serve as executive officers of the combined company. In connection with the Merger, the Company will seek to amend its certificate of incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio between the range of one-for-two and one-for-five, as determined by the Company and ANI, which is intended to ensure that the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market are satisfied; and (ii) change the name of the Company to "ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc." or another name as designated by ANI (together, the Charter Amendments). No fractional shares of the Company's common stock will be issued in connection with the reverse split and holders of the Company's common stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof.

        Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to (i) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by both the Company's and ANI's stockholders and the approval of the Charter Amendments by the Company's stockholders; (ii) approval for the listing of shares of the Company's common stock to be issued in the Merger on The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market; (iii) written

opinions of counsel that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; and (iv) other customary closing conditions. In addition, the obligation of ANI to effect the Merger is subject to a condition that the Company's net cash, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, be no less than $17.0 million immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

        Each of the Company and ANI have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including among others, covenants that (i) each party will conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger; (ii) each party will not engage in certain kinds of transactions or take certain actions during such period; (iii) ANI will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the board of directors of ANI will recommend that its stockholders adopt and approve the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) the Company will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the approval of the Charter Amendments and the Company's board of directors will recommend that the Company's stockholders adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and approve the charter amendments, subject to certain exceptions. Each of the Company and ANI also has agreed not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or enter into discussions or an agreement concerning any proposals for alternative business combination transactions, subject to exceptions for the Company in the event of the Company's receipt of a "superior proposal."

        The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of ANI and the Company in certain circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to certain triggering events specified in the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay ANI a termination fee of up to $1.0 million or ANI will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of up to $750,000. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to reimburse ANI up to $500,000 for ANI's expenses in connection with the transaction. Any expenses paid by the Company will be credited against the $1.0 million termination fee if the termination fee subsequently becomes payable by the Company.

Voting Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of ANI's stockholders, who collectively hold approximately 90 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of the close of business on October 3, 2012, entered into voting agreements with the Company, pursuant to which each stockholder agreed to vote its shares of ANI capital stock in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the Merger or the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, one of the stockholders of ANI, who holds approximately 57 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of the close of business on October 3, 2012, has agreed to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by the Company at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of the Merger.

        In addition, certain of the Company's stockholders, directors and officers, who collectively held approximately two percent of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock as of the close of business on October 3, 2012, entered into voting agreements with ANI, pursuant to which each stockholder agreed to vote its shares of the Company's capital stock in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the charter amendments, and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the Merger or the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

3. PENDING MERGER WITH ANI (Continued)

Lock-Up Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ANI's chief executive officer and chief financial officer and certain stockholders of ANI, who collectively held approximately 85 percent of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of the close of business on October 3, 2012, entered into lock-up agreements with the Company, pursuant to which each stockholder will be subject to a six-month lock-up on the sale of shares of the Company's common stock received in the Merger.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

        The Company has the right in its sole discretion to issue contingent value rights (each, a CVR and collectively, the CVRs) to its existing stockholders immediately prior to the completion of the Merger.

        The Company expects that one CVR will be issued for each share of the Company's common stock outstanding as of the record date, which is March 15, 2013. However, the CVRs will not be certificated and will not be attached to the shares of the Company's common stock. Each CVR will be a non-transferable (subject to certain limited exceptions) right to potentially receive certain cash payments in the event the Company receives net cash payments during the ten-year period after the distribution of the rights as a result of the sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to the Company's LibiGel program, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into between the Company and an as of yet unidentified third party, as rights agent. The aggregate cash payments to be distributed to the holders of the CVRs, if any, will be equal to 66 percent of the net cash payments received by the combined company as a result of the sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to the Company's LibiGel program, as determined pursuant to the CVR agreement, and will not exceed $40 million in the aggregate.

4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Substantially all of the Company revenue to date has been derived from upfront, milestone and royalty payments earned on licensing and sublicensing transactions and from subcontracts. The Company's business operations to date have consisted primarily of licensing and research and development activities and if the Company does not complete its proposed merger with ANI, the Company would expect this to continue for the immediate future. To date, the Company has used primarily equity financings, and to a lesser extent, licensing income, interest income and the cash received from its 2009 merger with Cell Genesys, to fund its ongoing business operations and short-term liquidity needs.

        During 2012, the Company raised approximately $3.3 million in net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, through the sale of common stock and warrants in a registered direct offering, as more fully described in Note 9, "Stockholders' Equity."

        As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $34.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had outstanding $8.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013. Absent the receipt of any additional licensing income or financing, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents balance to decrease as it continues to use cash to fund its operations. Assuming the Merger between the Company and ANI is completed, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 to meet its liquidity requirements through at least its anticipated closing of the Merger, including the requirement under the Merger Agreement to have at least $17 million of "net cash," as defined in and as calculated pursuant to the Merger Agreement, available upon the closing of the Merger. If the Merger between the Company and ANI is not

4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

completed, the Company will need to reevaluate its strategic alternatives, which may include continuing as an independent, stand-alone business, a sale of the Company, liquidation of the Company or other strategic transaction. The Company's liquidity position will be dependent upon the strategic alternative selected; however, assuming the Company does not enter into another strategic transaction, and assuming the Company decides not to commence the two new efficacy trials for LibiGel, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next three to five years. Additional financing would be required should the Company decide to commence the two new efficacy trials for LibiGel. These estimates may prove incorrect or the Company, nonetheless, may choose to raise additional financing earlier.

        The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including:

    the timing, cost and successful completion of the Company's Merger with ANI;

    the progress, timing, cost and results of the Company's clinical development programs, including in particular the conclusion of the LibiGel Phase III safety study, and if the Company has not completed its merger with ANI, beginning in mid-2013, the two new LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials if the Company decides to commence such trials, and if the Company in-licenses additional new products that require further development;

    the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory actions with respect to the Company's products;

    the success, progress, timing and costs of the Company's business development efforts to implement business collaborations, licenses and other business combinations or transactions, and the Company's efforts to evaluate various strategic alternatives available with respect to the Company's products and the Company;

    the Company's ability to obtain value from its current products and technologies and its ability to out-license its products and technologies to third parties for development and commercialization and the terms of such out-licenses;

    the Company's ability to acquire or in-license additional new products and technologies and the costs and expenses of such acquisitions or licenses;

    the timing and amount of any royalties, milestone or other payments the Company may receive from or be obligated to pay to current and potential licensors, licensees and other third parties;

    the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

    the emergence of competing products and technologies, and other adverse market developments;

    the perceived, potential and actual commercial success of the Company's products;

    the outstanding principal amount of the Company's 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 (convertible senior notes) that are scheduled to mature and become due and payable on May 1, 2013 and the Company's ability to avoid a "fundamental change" or an "event of default" under the indenture governing such notes, which may cause such notes to become due and payable prior to their maturity date on May 1, 2013;

    the Company's operating expenses; and

    the resolution of the Company's pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation and any amount the Company may be required to pay in excess of its directors' and officers' liability insurance.

4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

        The Company does not have any existing credit facilities under which the Company could borrow funds. In the event that the Company would require additional working capital to fund future operations, the Company could seek to acquire such funds through additional equity or debt financing arrangements. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company's stockholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting the Company's operations or its ability to incur additional debt. There is no assurance that any financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. As an alternative to raising additional financing, the Company may choose to license one or more of the Company's products or technologies to a third party who may finance a portion or all of the continued development and, if approved, commercialization of that licensed product, or sell certain assets or rights under the Company's existing license agreements. In addition, from time to time, the Company may purchase, exchange or restructure its outstanding convertible senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other equity securities of the Company, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and/or a tender offer. Such additional purchases, exchanges or restructurings, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the trading price and volume of the Company's common stock, the willingness of the note holders to sell, exchange or restructure their notes, the Company's available cash and cash equivalents, the Company's liquidity requirements, regulatory limitations, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such future purchases, exchanges or restructurings could dilute the percentage ownership of the Company's stockholders, result in the issuance of securities at a discount to market price or that may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Company's existing stockholders and/or decrease the Company's cash balance. A significant decrease in the Company's cash balance, together with an inability to raise additional financing when needed, may impair the Company's ability to execute strategic alternatives or leave the Company without sufficient cash remaining for operations.

        The Company is subject to pending purported class action and shareholder derivative litigation, which litigation is described in more detail in Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Company's financial statements. Such litigation could divert management's attention, harm the Company's business and/or reputation and result in significant liabilities, as well as harm the Company's ability to raise additional financing and execute certain strategic alternatives.

        The Company can provide no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. This is particularly true if investors are not confident in the success of the Company's pending merger with ANI, the Company's LibiGel clinical development program, the future value of the Company and/or economic and market conditions deteriorate. If the Company does not complete its pending merger with ANI and if adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms when the Company needs them, the Company may need to reduce its operating costs further or the Company may be forced to explore other strategic alternatives, such as other business combination transactions or winding down the Company's operations and liquidating the Company. In such case, the Company's stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.

5. LICENSE AGREEMENTS

LibiGel and Elestrin

        The Company licensed the technology underlying LibiGel and Elestrin, but not its male testosterone gel, from Antares Pharma, Inc. (Antares). Under the agreement, Antares granted the Company an exclusive license to certain patents and patent applications covering these gel products, including rights to sublicense, in order to develop and market the products in certain territories. Under

F-17


Table of Contents

5. LICENSE AGREEMENTS (Continued)

the agreement, the Company is required to pay Antares certain development and regulatory milestone payments and royalties based on net sales of any products the Company or any sub-licensee sells incorporating the in-licensed technology. The patents covering the formulations used in these gel products are expected to expire in 2022 and 2028.

Male Testosterone Gel

        The Company's male testosterone gel was developed initially by the Company, and then licensed by the Company to Teva for late stage clinical development. Teva submitted an NDA to the FDA in the beginning of 2011, which was approved by the FDA in February 2012. No launch date for this product has been announced by Teva.

        Under the Company's development and license agreement with Teva, Teva has agreed to market the male testosterone gel for the U.S. market and is responsible for any and all manufacturing and marketing associated with the product. The financial terms of the development and license agreement included a $1.5 million upfront payment by Teva, which was paid to the Company in December 2002, and an obligation by Teva to pay the Company certain milestones and royalties on sales of the product in exchange for rights to develop and market the product. Teva is entitled to deduct the amount of any legal expenses incurred by Teva in connection with associated patent litigation against Teva from the net sales of the product.

        The term of the development and license agreement will expire 10 years from the date on which Teva makes its first commercial sale of the male testosterone gel to an unrelated third party in an arms-length transaction in the United States. The parties may terminate the development and license agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a material breach of the agreement by the other party. The Company may terminate the agreement if Teva files a petition in bankruptcy, enters into an arrangement with its creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee is appointed or if Teva suffers or permits the entry of an order adjudicating it to be bankrupt or insolvent. Teva may terminate the agreement if Teva determines that the continued development and/or marketing of the male testosterone gel is no longer commercially viable.

        In October 2012, the Company and Teva entered into an amendment to the license and development agreement pursuant to which Teva made a non-refundable $1.0 million payment to the Company upon the signing of the amendment and an additional non-refundable $750,000 payment in December 2012. Teva also agreed to make the following milestone based payments to the Company: (1) $500,000 if the FDA authorizes marketing of the licensed male testosterone gel as an "AB-rated" equivalent to AndroGel®; and (2) $500,000 upon the earlier to occur of (a) December 31, 2013 and (b) five business days after Teva's commencement of commercial manufacture of the licensed product for sale in the United States. In addition, Teva has agreed to pay the Company $4.0 million in the event Teva is the sole marketer in the United States of a generic 1% testosterone gel AB-rated to AndroGel® for at least 180 days immediately following the launch date of the licensed product in the United States. The royalty rate to be paid by Teva to the Company under the agreement is five percent of net sales; provided, however, that during the period of time that Teva markets the licensed product and is the sole marketer of a generic 1% testosterone gel that is AB-rated to AndroGel® in the United States, the royalty rate will be seven and one half percent of net sales. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the October 2012 amendment, the parties agreed to release each other from certain liabilities.

5. LICENSE AGREEMENTS (Continued)

The Pill Plus

        The Company has a fully paid-up right and exclusive license to the technology underlying its triple component contraceptive, or The Pill Plus, from Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The Company received this fully paid-up right and exclusive license in December 2012 when it entered into an amendment to the license agreement to eliminate all regulatory milestone payments, maintenance payments and royalty payments. The patents covering the technology underlying The Pill Plus are expected to expire in 2016.

Other License Agreements

        The Company has entered into several other license agreements in which the Company has out-licensed certain of the rights and technologies the Company has licensed. Under these agreements, the Company typically is entitled to receive royalty payments on any sales of the products and, in some cases, may be entitled to receive certain development and regulatory milestones.

        There was no construction in progress as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

        Based upon the conclusion of the LibiGel safety study, the merger agreement with ANI and discussions with prospective purchasers of the Company's gel filling machine, none of which resulted in a sale of the machine, the Company has determined that the value of the Company's gel filling machine and components was impaired; and therefore, recorded a write-down of the asset to zero. The write-down of $929,431 is classified within research and development expense in the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

7. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

        The Company assumed liabilities related to two series of convertible senior notes of Cell Genesys as a part of its 2009 merger with Cell Genesys—$1,234,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2011 (the 2011 Notes) and $20,782,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2013 (the 2013 Notes and collectively with the 2011 Notes, the Notes).

        Immediately prior to November 1, 2011, the Company repaid in its entirety the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes and all accrued interest thereon through such date. As of December 31, 2012, an aggregate of $8,277,850 in principal amount of the 2013 Notes remained outstanding. The remaining 2013 Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holder or upon certain

F-19


Table of Contents

7. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES (Continued)

specified events into an aggregate of approximately 0.4 million shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $22.32 per share.

        The 2013 Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally with all of the Company's existing and future unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness, but are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the related security, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries. The 2013 Notes are subject to repurchase by the Company at each holder's option, if a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occurs, at a repurchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2013 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchase date and are subject to redemption for cash by the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if the closing price of the Company's common stock has exceeded 150 percent of the conversion price then in effect with respect to such notes for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the mailing of the notice of redemption. As of December 31, 2012, the 2013 Notes were not eligible for redemption. The indenture governing the 2013 Notes, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, does not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict the Company from paying dividends, incurring additional debt or issuing or repurchasing the Company's other securities. In addition, the indenture, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, does not protect the holders of the 2013 Notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a fundamental change of the Company except in certain circumstances specified in the indenture.

        From time to time, the Company may purchase, exchange or restructure its outstanding 2013 Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other equity securities of the Company, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and/or a tender offer. Such additional purchases, exchanges or restructurings, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the trading price and volume of the Company's common stock, the willingness of the note holders to sell, exchange or restructure their notes, the Company's available cash and cash equivalents, the Company's liquidity requirements, regulatory limitations, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such future purchases, exchanges or restructurings could dilute the percentage ownership of the Company's stockholders, result in the issuance of securities at a discount to market price or that may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Company's existing stockholders and/or decrease the Company's cash balance. A significant decrease in the Company's cash balance may impair the Company's ability to execute strategic alternatives or leave the Company without sufficient cash remaining for operations.

        In February 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 1.9 million shares of its common stock to one of the holders of the 2013 Notes in exchange for the cancellation of $9.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes, including accrued and unpaid interest of $79,024, and in July 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 1.8 million shares of its common stock to two of the holders of the 2013 Notes in exchange for the cancellation of $3.5 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes and accrued and unpaid interest of $20,686. Non-cash fair value adjustment of $(3,157,150) was recorded as a result of the cancellation of such notes. The fair value adjustment recorded upon the cancellation of the 2013 Notes is primarily attributable to the time value effect of settling these obligations at a date prior to the stated maturity of the 2013 Notes.

        The Company has elected to record the Notes at fair value in order to simplify the accounting for the convertible debt, inclusive of the redemption, repurchase and conversion adjustment features which otherwise would require specialized valuation, bifurcation and recognition. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the carrying value of the Notes to their fair value as of December 31, 2012, with changes

F-20


Table of Contents

7. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES (Continued)

in the fair value of the Notes occurring since December 31, 2011, reflected in fair value adjustment in the statements of operations. The fair value of the Notes is based on Level 2 inputs. The recorded fair value of the Notes of an aggregate of $7,883,886 as of December 31, 2012 differs from their total stated principal amount of $8,277,850 by $393,964.

        The recorded value of the Notes of an aggregate of $17,336,760 as of December 31, 2011 differs from their total stated principal amount of $20,782,000 by $3,445,240. The Company recorded fair value adjustments of $(1,171,318) and $(23,427) related to the Notes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to increase its recorded liability and corresponding expense in 2012 and 2011. There was an immaterial change in the fair value of the convertible senior notes due to a change in instrument specific credit risk for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

        The Company establishes the value the convertible senior notes based upon contractual terms of the notes, as well as certain key assumptions. The assumptions as of December 31, 2012 were:

 
  2013 Notes  

Average risk-free rate

    0.08 %

Volatility of BioSante common stock

    79.9 %

Discount rate for principal payments in cash

    19.4 %

        The assumptions as of December 31, 2011 were:

 
  2013 Notes  

Average risk-free rate

    0.19 %

Volatility of BioSante common stock

    77.4 %

Discount rate for principal payments in cash

    18.5 %

        The discount rate is based on observed yields as of the measurement date for debt securities of entities having a Ca and Caa3 rating for long-term corporate obligations as assigned by Moody's Investors Service. Volatility is based on the historical fluctuations in the Company's stock price for a period of time equal to the remaining time until the debt maturity. The risk-free rate is based on observed yields as of the measurement date of one-year, two-year and three-year U.S. Treasury Bonds.

8. INCOME TAXES

        The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all significant federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. and state tax returns remain subject to examination for the year ended 1998 and all subsequent periods due to the availability of tax loss and credit carryforwards. The Company determined there are no uncertain tax positions existing as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

        The components of the Company's net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

        The Company recognized an income tax benefit based on the receipt of an income tax credit for 2012 of $121,791 compared to the recognition of no income tax benefit or expense for 2011 or 2010. The income tax benefit was a result of an election to accelerate research and development credits in lieu of receiving bonus depreciation on certain property under Section 168(k)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company's current and accumulated losses result in net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $192,732,223 of net operating loss carryforwards that are available to reduce future taxable income for a period of up to 20 years. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2018-2032 and their utilization in future years may be limited as prescribed by Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code; however, the Company has not performed an analysis to determine the amount of any such limitation. The net operating loss carryforwards as well as amortization of various intangibles, principally acquired in-process research and development, and other items have generated deferred tax benefits, which have been recorded as deferred tax assets and are entirely offset by a tax valuation allowance. The valuation allowance has been provided at 100% to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero, which is the amount management believes is more likely than not to be realized. Additionally, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against approximately $9,142,943 of research and development credits, which are available to reduce future income taxes, if any in the future. The research and development credits expire in the years 2018-2032.

        The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34.5% to pre-tax income as follows:

 
  2012   2011   2010  

Tax at U.S. federal statutory rate

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock

        The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, 4,687,684 shares of class C special stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

        No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

        There were 65,211 and 65,214 shares of class C special stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Each share of class C special stock entitles its holder to one vote per share. Each share of class C special stock is exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for one share of the Company's common stock, at an exchange price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain capitalization events. Holders of class C special stock are not entitled to receive dividends or to participate in the distribution of the Company's assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. The holders of class C special stock have no cumulative voting, preemptive, subscription, redemption or sinking fund rights.

        There were 24,422,240 and 18,269,754 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has presented the par values of its common stock and the related additional paid in capital on a combined basis for all periods presented.

Reverse Stock Split

        On May 30, 2012, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and class C special stock in the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors at an exchange ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten. On June 1, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company effected a one-for-six reverse split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and class C special stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to a fractional share received, in lieu thereof, a cash payment based on the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on June 1, 2012. The total cash payment for fractional shares was $658. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock or class C special stock or the par value of the Company's common stock or class C special stock, but because the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock and class C special stock was not affected, the effect of the reverse stock split was to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock and class C special stock. The primary purpose of the reverse stock split was to increase the Company's ability to maintain the listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market.

Equity Offerings

        In August 2012, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 2,359,932 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,179,966 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.4725 per share to one institutional investor for gross proceeds of $3,475,000. The offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $3,268,798, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. The warrants were exercisable immediately and continue for a period of five years, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price of the warrants are adjustable in the event of stock splits, combinations and reclassifications, but not in the event of the issuance of additional securities.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        The Company has two stockholder-approved equity-based compensation plans under which stock options have been granted—the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Plan (1998 Plan) and the BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (2008 Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The 2008 Plan replaced the 1998 Plan except with respect to options outstanding under the 1998 Plan. As of December 31, 2012, the number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2008 Plan, was 1,833,333 plus the number of shares subject to options outstanding under the 1998 Plan as of the effective date of the 2008 Plan but only to the extent that such outstanding options are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without the issuance of such shares. Of such authorized shares, 3,416 shares had been issued and 860,828 shares were subject to outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2012.

        Outstanding employee stock options generally vest over a period of three or four years and have 10-year contractual terms. Upon exercise of an option, the Company issues new shares of its common stock. From time to time, the Company grants employee stock options that have performance condition-based vesting provisions which result in expense when such performance conditions are probable of being achieved. No performance-based options were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The non-cash, stock-based compensation cost that was incurred by the Company in connection with the 1998 Plan and the 2008 Plan was $725,625, $1,177,683 and $992,757 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No income tax benefit was recognized in the Company's statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements due to the Company's net loss position.

        The weighted average fair value of the options at the date of grant for options granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $4.08, $7.32 and $6.66 per share, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  2012   2011   2010  

Expected option life (years)

  5.5 - 6.25   5.5 - 6.25     6.00  

Risk-free interest rate

  0.775% - 1.105%   1.175% - 2.57%     2.42 %

Expected stock price volatility

  92.97% - 97.20%   69.07% - 72.16%     76.05 %

Dividend yield

         

        The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the life of options. The risk-free interest rate used is the yield on a United States Treasury note as of the grant date with a maturity equal to the estimated life of the option. The Company calculated a volatility rate based on the closing price for its common stock at the end of each calendar month as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market. The Company has not in the past issued a cash dividend nor does it have any current plans to do so in the future; and therefore, an expected dividend yield of zero was used. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised through a cumulative catch-up in the period of change if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company reduced its workforce during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the termination of employment of these employees resulted in a reversal of previously recognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the forfeiture of non-vested options.

        There is no aggregate intrinsic value of the Company's outstanding and exercisable options as of December 31, 2012.

        As of December 31, 2012, there was $1,108,898 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.96 years, however, if the Company's proposed merger with ANI is completed, the cost would then be expected to be recognized in 2013.

        The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $22,106 and $974, respectively. The Company did not receive a tax benefit related to the exercise of these options because of its net operating loss position. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $701,481, $667,171 and $764,921, respectively.

11. RETIREMENT PLAN

        The Company offers a discretionary 401(k) Plan to all of its employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may defer income on a tax-exempt basis, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company may make discretionary matching contributions. Company contributions expensed in 2012, 2011 and 2010 totaled $122,059, $211,494 and $179,349, respectively.

12. LEASE ARRANGEMENTS

        The Company has entered into lease commitments for rental of its office space which expires in 2014. The future minimum lease payments during 2013 and 2014 are $248,632 and $41,718, respectively.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Antares Pharma, Inc. License

        The Company's license agreement with Antares Pharma, Inc. requires the Company to fund the development of the licensed products, make milestone payments and pay royalties on the sales of products related to this license. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid or accrued $550,736, $335,160 and $152,228, respectively, to Antares as a result of royalties generated by Elestrin revenues.

Wake Forest License

        In April 2002, the Company exclusively in-licensed from Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center three issued U.S. patents claiming triple component therapy (the combination use of estrogen plus progestogen plus androgen, e.g. testosterone) and obtained an option to license the patents for triple component contraception. The financial terms of the license included an upfront payment by the Company in exchange for exclusive rights to the license and regulatory milestone payments, maintenance payments and royalty payments by the Company if a product incorporating the licensed technology gets approved and subsequently marketed. In July 2005, the Company exercised the option for an exclusive license for the three U.S. patents for triple component contraception. The financial terms of this license included an upfront payment, regulatory milestone payments, maintenance payments and royalty payments by the Company if a product incorporating the licensed technology gets approved and subsequently marketed. In December 2012, the Company and Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center entered into an amendment to the license agreement pursuant to which the Company received a fully paid-up right and exclusive license to the licensed technology in exchange for a $300,000 payment.

        The Company has agreed to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center against any and all claims, suits, losses, damages, costs, fees and expenses resulting from or arising out of exercise of the license agreement, including but not limited to, any product liability claims. The Company has not recorded any liability in connection with this obligation as no events occurred that would require indemnification.

Employee Reduction Implications

        As a result of the conclusion of the Company's LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study, as announced by the Company in September 2012, and in light of the Company's proposed merger with ANI, the Company plans to reduce its workforce during the first quarter of 2013 effective upon completion of the merger. In connection with the announced reduction, the Company will pay $215,979 to non-executive officers in aggregate severance costs during 2013. If the proposed merger with ANI is completed, the employment of the Company's three executive officers will terminate immediately following the completion of the merger and they will be entitled to receive severance cash payments ranging from $526,400 to $1,490,100 and other severance benefits such as continuing health insurance, in connection with such termination.

Pending Litigation

        On February 3, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Thomas Lauria, on behalf of himself and all others

F-28


Table of Contents

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

similarly situated v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Stephen M. Simes naming the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Simes, as defendants. The complaint alleges that certain of the Company's disclosures relating to the efficacy of LibiGel and its commercial potential were false and/or misleading and that such false and/or misleading statements had the effect of artificially inflating the price of the Company's securities resulting in violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Although a substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on February 21, 2012, such complaint was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in April 2012. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's securities between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and reasonable costs, expert fees and attorneys' fees on behalf of such purchasers. The Company believes the action is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. On November 6, 2012, the plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. The Company and Mr. Simes filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on December 28, 2012. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is ongoing and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2013.

        On May 7, 2012, Jerome W. Weinstein, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Weinstein v. BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al ., naming the Company's directors as defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. A substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court on May 22, 2012 and another substantially similar complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division, on June 27, 2012. The suits generally related to the same events that are the subject of the class action litigation described above. The complaints allege breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and unjust enrichment as causes of action occurring from at least February 2010 through December 2011. The complaints seek unspecified damages, punitive damages, costs and disbursements and unspecified reform and improvements in the Company's corporate governance and internal control procedures. On September 24, 2012, the District Court consolidated the two cases before it and on November 20, 2012 plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. On January 11, 2013, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss this complaint. On November 27, 2012, the plaintiff in the action pending in Illinois state court filed an amended complaint. On January 18, 2013, the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss this complaint. Briefing on these motions is ongoing and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2013.

        The lawsuits are in their early stages; and, therefore, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits and the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with their resolution or any potential effect the lawsuits may have on the Company's operations. Depending on the outcome or resolution of these lawsuits, they could have a material effect on the Company's operations, including its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. No amounts have been accrued related to these lawsuits as of December 31, 2012.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        The Company accounts for its convertible senior notes and U.S. Treasury money market fund at fair value. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy has been

F-29

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

        Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

        Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

        Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

        In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk.

        Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above:

        The Company made an election to record the values of the 2013 Notes at fair value with gains and losses related to fluctuations in the value of these financial liabilities recorded in earning immediately pursuant to ASC 825. The fair values of the 2013 Notes are estimated based on the risk-free borrowing rate, the volatility of the Company's stock, and the current borrowing rates for similar companies. See Note 7, "Convertible Senior Notes" for more information and disclosures regarding key assumptions used in this fair value determination.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Sale of GVAX Cancer Vaccine Portfolio

        On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aduro BioTech, Inc., a clinical-stage immunotherapy company, pursuant to which the Company sold all of its assets related to its GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio in exchange for a $1.0 million cash payment plus the potential for future royalty, milestone and sublicense payments.

Funding of Rabbi Trust

        In January 2013, the Company funded a rabbi trust with approximately $2.3 million of cash for the purpose of providing a funding mechanism to make severance payments to certain executive officers who become entitled to such payments six months after the closing of the proposed merger with ANI. Cash held in the rabbi trust is considered restricted cash based on the terms of the rabbi trust.

Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger

        On April 12, 2013, the Company, Merger Sub and ANI entered into the New Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI, and after which ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The New Merger Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Merger Agreement. The Prior Merger with ANI is more fully described in Note 3, "Prior Merger with ANI." Pursuant to the terms of the New Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the New Merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of ANI will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, as determined pursuant to the exchange ratio described in the New Merger Agreement and the provisions of ANI's certificate of incorporation, and all options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of ANI, will be canceled without consideration therefor, except for certain warrants which although not cancelled will not represent the right to acquire any equity or other interest in the Company or ANI after the New Merger. No fractional shares of common stock of the Company will be issued in connection with the New Merger, and holders of ANI capital stock will be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ANI immediately prior to the effective time of the New Merger will own 57% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the New Merger will own 43% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Unlike the exchange ratio provision in the Prior Merger Agreement, the respective percentage ownerships of the stockholders of ANI and the Company after the New Merger are fixed at 57% and 43%, respectively, and are not subject to adjustment based on the Company's net cash. The New Merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        The New Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the effective time of the New Merger, the Board of Directors of the Company will consist of five current directors of ANI and two current directors of the Company, and ANI's current executive officers are expected to serve as executive officers of the Company.

        Consummation of the New Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to (i) approval of the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company in the New Merger by the Company's stockholders and the adoption and approval of the New Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the ANI stockholders; (ii) the effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC to register the shares of the Company's common stock to be issued in connection with the New Merger, which will contain a joint

proxy statement/prospectus; (iii) written opinions of counsel that the New Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; and (iv) other customary closing conditions.

        Each of the Company and ANI have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the New Merger Agreement, including among others, covenants that (i) each party will conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the interim period between execution of the New Merger Agreement and consummation of the New Merger (and the Company will not incur compensation expenses for employees and consultants in excess of specified monthly amounts); (ii) each party will not engage in certain kinds of transactions or take certain actions during such period; (iii) ANI will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the adoption and approval of the New Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and ANI's Board of Directors will recommend that ANI's stockholders adopt and approve the New Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) the Company will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering the approval of the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in the New Merger and the Company's Board of Directors will recommend that the Company's stockholders adopt and approve such proposal, subject to certain exceptions. Each of the Company and ANI also has agreed not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or enter into discussions or an agreement concerning any proposals for alternative business combination transactions, subject to exceptions for the Company in the event of its receipt of a "superior proposal."

        The New Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of ANI and the Company in certain circumstances. If the New Merger Agreement is terminated due to certain triggering events specified in the New Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay ANI a termination fee of up to $1.0 million or ANI will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of up to $750,000. The New Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to reimburse ANI up to $500,000 for ANI's expenses in connection with the transaction. Any expenses paid by the Company will be credited against the $1.0 million termination fee if the termination fee subsequently becomes payable by the Company.

Amended and Restated Voting Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the New Merger Agreement, certain of ANI's stockholders, who collectively held approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated voting agreements with the Company, pursuant to which each such ANI stockholder agreed to vote its shares of ANI capital stock in favor of the New Merger, the New Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the New Merger Agreement and against certain transactions or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the New Merger or the transaction contemplated by the New Merger Agreement. In addition, one of ANI's stockholders, who held approximately 57% of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into an amended and restated voting agreement, pursuant to which such ANI stockholder agreed to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by the Company at the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the New Merger.

        In addition, certain of the Company's stockholders, directors and officers, who collectively held approximately two percent of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated voting agreements with ANI, pursuant to which each such stockholder of the Company agreed to vote its shares of the Company's capital stock in favor of the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in the New Merger and against certain transactions

F-32

or certain actions that would delay, prevent or nullify the New Merger or the transaction contemplated by the New Merger Agreement.

        These voting agreements will terminate upon the earlier of the effective time of the New Merger or termination of the New Merger Agreement; provided, however, that the voting agreement pursuant to which ANI's stockholder agreed to vote in favor of the election of the two directors designated by the Company at the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the New Merger will terminate upon the earlier of completion of the first annual meeting of stockholders following completion of the New Merger or the termination of the New Merger Agreement.

Amended and Restated Lock-Up Agreements

        Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the New Merger Agreement, ANI's chief executive officer and chief financial officer and certain of ANI's stockholders, who collectively held approximately 85% of the outstanding shares of ANI capital stock as of April 12, 2013, entered into amended and restated lock-up agreements with the Company, pursuant to which each such ANI stockholder will be subject to a six-month lock-up on the sale of shares of the Company's common stock received in the New Merger. The amended and restated lock-up agreements for ANI's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, however, will permit these individuals to begin immediately after the effectiveness of the New Merger to sell up to one-half of their shares in market transactions pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

        Pursuant to the terms of the New Merger Agreement, the Company has the right to issue contingent value rights to holders of the Company's common stock immediately prior to completion of the New Merger. It is anticipated that the CVRs will be issued upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into between the Company, ANI and Computershare, as rights agent. Pursuant to the terms of the contingent value rights agreement, one CVR will be issued for each share of the Company's common stock outstanding as of the record date to be set at a date prior to the completion of the New Merger. The CVRs will not be certificated and will not be attached to the shares of the Company's common stock. Each CVR will be a non-transferable (subject to certain limited exceptions) right potentially to receive certain cash payments, during the ten-year period after the distribution of the rights, resulting from the LibiGel program, including (i) 66 percent of any net cash payments received by the Company as a result of a sale, transfer, license or similar transaction relating to the Company's LibiGel program, as determined pursuant to the agreement, and (ii) five percent of net revenues from direct sales of LibiGel products after the new Merger, assuming that the Company incurs less than $2.5 million of additional development expenses. The amount potentially payable under the contingent value rights agreement will not exceed $50 million in the aggregate.

Rescission of Prior CVR Distribution

        On March 15, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors had declared a distribution of CVRs to be effective as of April 12, 2013, the date of the adjourned stockholders meeting for the Prior Merger, but conditioned upon completion of the Prior Merger. As a result of the New Merger Agreement, the Company's Board of Directors has rescinded this prior distribution of CVRs and intends to take action to issue the CVRs under the contingent value rights agreement at an appropriate time prior to the merger.

Ceregene, Inc. Clinical Update

        On April 19, 2013, Ceregene, Inc., an early stage pharmaceutical development company in which the Company is an investor, announced that data from one of Ceregene's Phase 2 clinical studies did not demonstrate statistically significant efficacy on the primary endpoint. As a result, the Company believes that the fair value of this investment may be impaired when compared to its historical book value.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
ANIP Acquisition Company

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ANIP Acquisition Company (d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ANIP Acquisition Company as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Overview

        ANIP Acquisition Company, d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") is a specialty pharmaceutical company, developing and marketing generic and branded prescription products. In two facilities located in Baudette, Minnesota, with combined manufacturing, packaging and laboratory capacity totaling 173,000 sq. ft., the Company manufactures oral solid dose products, as well as liquids and topicals, including those that must be manufactured in a fully contained environment due to their potency and/or toxicity. The Company also performs contract manufacturing for other pharmaceutical companies.

        The Company also previously owned an operation in Gulfport, Mississippi that manufactured over-the-counter pharmaceuticals products, which were sold under private-label contracts to retail pharmacy chains. The Gulfport operation was sold in September 2010 and accounted for as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Note 6).

        The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, lack of operating history and uncertainty of future profitability and possible fluctuations in financial results. Since inception, the Company has incurred a cumulative loss from operations and has had operating cash flow deficits. Management believes that as a result of the sale of the Gulfport operation, the Company can focus on prescription pharmaceuticals and increase its revenues while controlling operating costs in order to improve operating performance in the future. To date, the Company has funded its cash flow requirements using debt, equity, and equity-linked financings. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and potential other funding sources to meet the Company's obligations as they become due. Management believes the going-concern basis is appropriate for the accompanying financial statements based on its current operating plan through December 31, 2013. In addition, management has the intent and ability to take additional actions as necessary to continue as a going concern, including by drawing on available funding sources and/or reducing discretionary operating costs.

        In October 2012, the Company entered into a merger agreement with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BioSante"), which agreement was revised in April 2013, by which a subsidiary of BioSante will merge into the Company in an all-stock transaction (Note 14).


Basis of Accounting

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").


Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the accompanying financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for chargebacks, returns and other allowances, allowance for inventory obsolescence, derivative liabilities, contingencies, litigation, and the depreciable lives of fixed assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Credit Concentration

        The Company's customers are primarily pharmaceutical companies, wholesale distributors, chain drug stores, and group purchasing organizations.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, three customers represented approximately 25%, 21%, and 11% of net revenues, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, accounts receivable from these customers totaled $3,754,279. During the year ended December 31, 2011, three customers represented approximately 21%, 16%, and 16% of net revenues, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, accounts receivable from these customers totaled $3,212,359.


Vendor Concentration

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company purchased approximately 60% of total costs of goods sold from three suppliers. As of December 31, 2012, amounts payable to these suppliers totaled $240,009. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased approximately 27% of total costs of goods sold from two suppliers. As of December 31, 2011, amounts payable to these suppliers totaled $205,838.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts are guaranteed by the FDIC up to $250,000. The Company may maintain cash balances in excess of FDIC coverage. Management considers this to be a normal business risk.


Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized for product sales upon passing of risk and title to the customer, when estimates of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and the Company has no further performance obligations. These estimates reduce gross revenues to net revenues in the accompanying statements of operations, and are presented as current liabilities or reductions in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable

        The Company extends credit to customers on an unsecured basis. The Company utilizes the allowance method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management's evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company's estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. The Company determines trade receivables to be delinquent when greater than 30 days past due. Receivables are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible. The Company determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Accruals for Chargebacks, Returns and Other Allowances

        The Company's generic and branded product revenues are typically subject to agreements with customers allowing chargebacks, product returns, administrative fees, and other rebates and prompt payment discounts. The Company accrues for these items at the time of sale based on the estimates and methodologies described below. In the aggregate, these gross-to-net accruals exceed 65% of generic and branded gross product sales and reduce gross revenues to net revenues in the accompanying statements of operations, and are presented as current liabilities or reductions in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company continually monitors and re-evaluates the accruals as additional information becomes available, which includes, among other things, updates to trade inventory levels and customer product mix. The Company makes adjustments to the accruals at the end of each reporting period, to reflect any such updates to the relevant facts and circumstances.

Chargebacks

        Chargebacks, primarily from wholesalers, are the most significant of the Company's accruals. Chargebacks result from arrangements the Company has with indirect customers establishing prices for products which the indirect customer purchases through a wholesaler. Alternatively, the Company may pre-authorize wholesalers to offer specified contract pricing to other indirect customers. Under either arrangement, the Company provides a chargeback credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler's invoice price, typically Wholesale Acquisition Cost ("WAC").

        Chargeback credits are calculated as follows:

        Prior period chargebacks claimed by wholesalers are analyzed to determine the actual average selling price ("ASP") for each product. This calculation is performed by product by wholesaler. ASPs can be affected by several factors such as:

    A change in customer mix

    A change in negotiated terms with customers

    A change in product sales mix

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    A change in the volume of off-contract purchases

    Changes in WAC

        As necessary, the Company adjusts ASPs based on anticipated changes in the factors above.

        The difference between ASP and WAC is recorded, at the same time the Company recognizes revenue from the product sale, as a reduction in both gross revenues and accounts receivable.

        To evaluate the adequacy of its chargeback accruals, the Company obtains on-hand inventory counts from the wholesalers. This inventory is multiplied by the chargeback amount, the difference between ASP and WAC, to arrive at total expected future chargebacks, which is then compared to the chargeback accruals. The Company continually monitors chargeback activity and adjusts ASPs when it believes that actual selling prices will differ from current ASPs.

Returns

        Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. Generally, product may be returned for a period beginning six months prior to its expiration date to up to one year after its expiration date. The Company's product returns are settled through the issuance of a credit to the customer. The Company's estimate for returns is based upon its historical experience with actual returns. While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation in the past, history may not always be an accurate indicator of future returns. The Company continually monitors its estimates for returns and makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns may differ from the established accruals.

Administrative Fees and Other Rebates

        Administrative fees or rebates are offered to wholesalers, group purchasing organizations and indirect customers, consistent with pharmaceutical industry practice. The Company accrues for fees and rebates, by product by wholesaler, at the time of sale based on contracted rates and ASPs.

        To evaluate the adequacy of its administrative fee accruals, the Company obtains on-hand inventory counts from the wholesalers. This inventory is multiplied by the ASPs to arrive at total expected future sales, which is then multiplied by contracted rates. The result is then compared to the administrative fee accruals. The Company continually monitors administrative fee activity and adjusts its accruals when it believes that actual administrative fees will differ from the accruals.

Prompt Payment Discounts

        Sales discounts are granted for prompt payment. The reserve for sales discounts is based on invoices outstanding. The Company assumes based on past experience that 100% of available discounts will be taken.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company values inventory at standard cost. The Company reviews and adjusts standard costs periodically and its inventory, as valued, approximates weighted average cost.


Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings and improvements

  20 - 40 years

Machinery, furniture and equipment

  3 - 10 years

        Construction in progress includes the cost of construction and other direct costs attributable to the construction, along with capitalized interest, if any. Depreciation is not recorded on construction in progress until such time as the assets are placed in service. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there was no material interest capitalized into construction in progress.

        Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $517,169 and $507,768, respectively.

        The Company accounts for the valuation of long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be

recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Management determined that no assets were impaired and no assets were held for disposal as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and primarily consist of expenses relating to product development. Research and development costs totaled $1,157,548 and $799,302 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in the accompanying statements of operations.


Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company expenses the estimated fair value of stock-based awards made in exchange for employee services over the requisite employee service period. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period.


Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted. The measurement of a deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

        The Company evaluates and accounts for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties and financial statement reporting disclosures. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company began accounting for uncertain income tax positions during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company did not identify any uncertain income tax positions that could have a material impact to the financial statements. The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions and remains subject to examination by taxing jurisdictions for the years 2004 and all subsequent periods due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

        The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax exposures as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued relating to interest and penalties as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

        The Company considers potential tax effects resulting from discontinued operations and records intra-period tax allocations, when those effects are deemed material.


Income (Loss) per Share

        Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) less preferred stock dividends by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding during the period. For periods of net income, and when the effects are dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (as adjusted for interest expense on convertible debt, if outstanding) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding plus the number of shares that would be outstanding if warrants were exercised for common shares or preferred stock convertible into common shares, using the treasury method. Diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all dilutive potential common shares is anti-dilutive due to the net losses; accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

        The Company has determined that Series D Preferred Stock (Note 9) is a participating security under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Under ASC 260, a security is considered a participating security if the security may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock, regardless of whether the participation is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event. In accordance with ASC 260, a company is required to use the two-class method in computing EPS when it has a security that qualifies as a "participating security." The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to share, on an as-converted basis, in distributions to holders of common stock. Therefore shares of Series D Preferred Stock are included in the computation of basic EPS.

        The number of anti-dilutive shares, consisting of common stock options, warrants exercisable for common stock, warrants exercisable for preferred stock, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock which have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were 233,541 and 2,109,869, respectively.

        Basic and diluted loss per share has been adjusted for a 10:1 reverse stock split effected on January 28, 2011 and has been applied retrospectively for all periods presented.


Redeemable Preferred Stock

        The carrying value of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock is increased by the accretion of any related discounts and accrued but unpaid dividends so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount at the dates the stock becomes redeemable. The Company's Series A, B, C and D preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the holders, subject to certain additional requirements (Note 9).

Stock Splits and Other Reclassifications

        In January 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to effect a ten-for-one reverse stock split of the Company's common and preferred stock with a corresponding change to the par values. The par values, and all common and preferred share numbers for all periods presented, have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the change in par value and the one-for-ten reverse stock split.

        Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


Financial Instruments

        The Company's balance sheets include various financial instruments (primarily cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, borrowings under line of credit, notes payable and other current liabilities) that approximate fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

            Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

            Level 2—Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

            Level 3—Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

        See Note 13 for additional information regarding fair value.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income , an amendment to ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income . The update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 . This update stated that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. In February 2013, the FASB issued

ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This update requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was required make monthly payments of principal amounts plus interest of 6% per annum. In May 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the supplier to settle all amounts due by the Company in full and final for $175,000. The resulting gain is included as a gain on the discontinued operation in the accompanying statements of operations.

The net assets of the Gulfport operation had a carrying value of $5,819,473 on the date of the sale, resulting in a loss of $3,669,245 on disposal of the discontinued operation. The decision to sell the Gulfport operation was based on its historical underperformance and recurring losses and the anticipated need for continued financing from outside sources to maintain ongoing operations.

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, total net liabilities associated with discontinued operations were $370,766 and $512,275, respectively, and consisted of balances due to various vendors of the discontinued operation.

7. LINE OF CREDIT

        Prior to June 2012, the Company had borrowings under a line of credit agreement with a commercial lender. Due to covenant defaults, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement in May 2010, which was most recently amended in October 2011. Under the terms of the amended forbearance agreement, the Company could borrow an amount equal to the lesser of the borrowing base, as defined, or $3.5 million. Interest accrued at an annual rate of the Base Rate, as defined, plus 6.0%. In addition, a usage fee equal to 0.75% per annum of the unused facility and a management fee equal to $9,000 per annum were assessed monthly. The line of credit was secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Borrowings under the line of credit plus outstanding checks as of December 31, 2011 totaled $3,064,414. The line of credit and amended forbearance agreement expired in June 2012 and all amounts borrowed were repaid in full at that time.

        In June 2012, the Company entered into a new revolver loan agreement with a commercial bank in the amount of $5,000,000. The revolver loan agreement bears interest daily at the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 5%, or (ii) 6%, and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, a usage fee equal to 0.375% per annum of the unused facility and a management fee equal to $18,000 per annum are assessed monthly. Under the agreement, the Company was required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, calculated by dividing (a) (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less (ii) unfinanced capital expenditures, by the sum of cash paid for (b) (i) interest and (ii) monitoring and advisory fees (Note 8). Also, the Company was required to generate at least $800,000 in EBITDA measured on a trailing four-quarter basis. Restrictive covenants applied to, among other things, research and development expenditures, additional liens, mergers or consolidations, and sales of assets. The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants as of December 31, 2012. The Company subsequently obtained a waiver from its lender, the loan covenants were revised, and the revolver loan limit was increased to $6.0 million (Note 14). Beginning in 2013, the Company must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0. Also beginning in 2013, the Company must generate at least $225,000 in EBITDA during the three month period ending March 31, 2013, $450,000 in EBITDA during the six month period ending June 30, 2013, $675,000 in EBITDA during the nine month period ending September 30, 2013, and $900,000 in EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for every quarterly period thereafter measured on a trailing four-quarter basis. Restrictive covenants apply to, among other things, additional liens, mergers or consolidations, and sales of assets. In the event of early termination, the Company must pay a prepayment fee of $180,000 if termination occurs in the first year, $120,000 if termination occurs in the second year, and $60,000 if termination occurs after the second year but prior to the last day of the term. As of December 31, 2012, $4,065,307 was outstanding on the revolver, at an effective interest rate of 6.0%. The revolver loan agreement expires in June 2015.

        The Stockholders' Agreement also contains provisions that govern the process a stockholder must follow concerning disposition of shares, the requirements for a stockholder to sell shares in the event of certain approved transactions (drag along rights), the rights of a stockholder to sell shares in the event other stockholders propose to sell their shares (tag along rights) and the rights of the stockholder in the event the Company proposes to sell additional shares (preemptive rights).


Loan Receivable from Stockholder

        In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred in 2006, a stockholder purchased 18,812 shares of Series B Preferred from the Company at an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. Concurrent with the purchase, the Company loaned the stockholder $200,000 to finance the purchase of the Series B Preferred. In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred during the year ended December 31, 2010, the stockholder purchased 5,231 shares of Series C Preferred from the Company at an aggregate purchase price of $57,535. Concurrent with the purchase, the Company loaned the stockholder $57,535 to finance the purchase of the Series C Preferred. The loans bore interest at 5% and were secured by the respective Preferred Stock purchased by the stockholder. The outstanding balance totaled $90,215 as of December 31, 2010 and was recorded as loan receivable from stockholder in the accompanying balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company canceled

the indebtedness from the stockholder in exchange for the surrender of all the stockholder's shares of common and preferred stock in the Company. Accordingly, there was no outstanding balance on the loan receivable from stockholder as of December 31, 2011.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        In 2005, the Company adopted the ANIP Acquisition Company 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). In 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Plan and increased the maximum number of shares issuable to 312,750. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had granted 17,500 options and had 295,250 shares available for future grants. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had granted no options and had no shares available for future grants due to the termination of the Plan (Note 12).

        The Company has adopted ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , which requires that the cost of equity-based service awards be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense ratably over the vesting periods of options, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to stock options of $0 and $4,550, respectively.

        The Company values options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that are fully transferable and have no vesting restrictions. Black-Scholes and other option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards.

11. INCOME TAXES

        The Company has no current tax provision due to its current and accumulated losses, which result in net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $32 million in net operating loss carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2024. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in future years as prescribed by Section 382 of the US Internal Revenue Code. The net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other items, have generated deferred tax benefits, which have been recorded as deferred tax assets and are entirely offset by a valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the historical losses and uncertainty of future taxable income, management has established a 100% valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

        The components of the deferred tax asset consist of the following as of December 31:

 
  2012   2011  

Current deferred tax assets:

             

Expenses not currently deductible

  $ 466,000   $ 394,000  
           

    466,000     394,000  

Non-current deferred tax assets (liabilities):

             

Expenses not currently deductible

    59,000     10,000  

Book versus tax depreciation

    (237,000 )   (289,000 )

Net operating loss carryforwards

    11,300,000     12,965,000  
           

    11,122,000     12,686,000  
           

Total deferred tax asset, net

    11,588,000     13,080,000  

Valuation allowance

    (11,588,000 )   (13,080,000 )
           

Deferred tax asset, net

  $   $  
           

        The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all significant federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company's US and state tax returns remain subject to examination for the year ended 2004 and all subsequent periods due to the availability of tax loss carryforwards. The Company did not identify any uncertain income tax positions that could have a material impact to the financial statements as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

        The difference between the Company's expected income tax benefit from applying federal statutory tax rates to the pre-tax loss from continuing operations and actual income tax expense from continuing operations relates primarily to the effect of the following:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

        The Company leases equipment under operating leases that expire in May 2017. Future minimum lease payments due under these leases total $38,949 as of December 31, 2012.

        Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $18,393 and $18,633, respectively.


Transaction Bonus Agreements

        In September 2012, the Company entered into Transaction Bonus Agreements ("Bonus Agreements") with certain management employees. Under the terms of the Bonus Agreements, the Company will make bonus payments, upon a change of control transaction resulting in Net Proceeds being available for distribution to the Company's shareholders, to certain executives. The bonus payments are based upon the amount of Net Proceeds, as defined in the Bonus Agreements, realized in a change of control transaction. The Company's obligation to make the bonus payments are subject to, among other things, a minimum level of Net Proceeds and continuous employment of the executive. Under the terms of the Bonus Agreements, the BioSante transaction discussed below would be considered a change of control transaction.


Merger Agreement with BioSante

        In October 2012, the Company entered into a merger agreement with BioSante, which agreement was revised in April 2013, by which a subsidiary of BioSante will merge into the Company in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the revised merger agreement, BioSante will issue to Company stockholders shares of BioSante common stock such that the former Company stockholders will own 57 percent of the combined company's shares outstanding, and the former BioSante stockholders will own 43 percent. Pursuant to certain provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation, it is likely that holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, and common stock will not receive any shares of BioSante common stock in connection with the merger. In addition, immediately prior to the merger, BioSante plans to distribute to its then current stockholders

contingent value rights (CVR) providing payment rights arising from a future sale, transfer, license or similar transaction(s) involving BioSante's LibiGel® (female testosterone gel). Upon completion of the merger, the combined company will be renamed ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and will operate under the leadership of the Company's management team. The board of directors of the combined company is expected to have two directors from BioSante and five Company directors. Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, approval of the merger agreement by ANI stockholders and approval by BioSante stockholders of the issuance of BioSante shares in the merger. If any of the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or, where waiver is permissible but not waived, the merger will not be consummated. The merger is expected to close during the third quarter of calendar 2013.


Government Regulation

        The Company's products and facilities are subject to regulation by a number of federal and state governmental agencies. The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), in particular, maintains oversight of the formulation, manufacture, distribution, packaging and labeling of all of the Company's products. The Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") maintains oversight over the Company's products that are considered controlled substances.


Unapproved Products

        Certain of the Company's generic products are marketed without approved New Drug Applications ("NDA") or Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA"). During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, net revenues for these products totaled $6.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

        The FDA's policy with respect to the continued marketing of unapproved products is stated in the FDA's September 2011 compliance policy guide, Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs . Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based approach with regard to enforcement against such unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement action on a case-by-case basis, but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as those marketed as unapproved drugs with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. The Company believes that so long as it complies with applicable manufacturing and labeling standards, it will be in compliance with the FDA's current enforcement policy. There can be no assurance, however, that the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products. If the FDA were to take a contrary position, the Company may be required to seek FDA approval for these products or withdraw such products from the market.

        In addition, one group of products that the Company manufactures on behalf of a contract customer is marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. The Company's contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        The Company received royalties on the net sales of a group of contract-manufactured products, which are marketed by the contract customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. The Company's royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $284,000 and $320,000, respectively.

        In October 2012, ANI received a telephone call requesting a meeting with the FDA representatives from the Minneapolis district of the FDA to discuss continued manufacturing and distribution of the Opium 10mg/mL Solution 118mL product, which is a Non-NDA Product. That meeting was held on October 25, 2012 by conference telephone call and included FDA representatives from the Office of Compliance at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Counsel to ANI sent a letter to the FDA on November 9, 2012 in support of ANI's position. Although the FDA confirmed receipt of this letter, ANI has received no further response thereto. If the FDA were to make a determination that ANI could not continue to sell Opium Tincture as an unapproved product, ANI would be required to seek FDA approval for such product or withdraw such product from the market. If ANI determined to withdraw the product from the market, ANI's net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products would decline materially, and if ANI decided to seek FDA approval, it would face increased expenses and might need to suspend sales of the product until such approval is obtained, and there are no assurances that ANI would receive such approval.


Other Commitments and Contingencies

        All manufacturers of the drug Reglan® and its generic equivalent metoclopramide, including the Company, are facing allegations from plaintiffs in various states claiming bodily injuries as a result of ingestion of metoclopramide or its brand name Reglan® prior to the FDA's February 2009 Black Box warning requirement. The Company has been named and served in 84 separate complaints, including three in Pennsylvania, nine in New Jersey, and 72 in California, covering 2,930 plaintiffs in total. In August 2012, the Company was dismissed with prejudice from all New Jersey cases. Management considers the Company's exposure to this litigation to be limited due to several factors: (1) the only generic metoclopramide manufactured by the Company prior to the implementation of the FDA's warning requirement was an oral solution introduced after May 28, 2008; (2) the Company's market share for the oral solution was a very small portion of the overall metoclopramide market; and (3) once the Company received a request for change of labeling from the FDA, it submitted its proposed changes within 30 days, and such changes were subsequently approved by the FDA. At the present time, Company management is unable to assess the likely outcome of the remaining cases. The Company's insurance company has assumed the defense of this matter. In addition, the Company's insurance company renewed the Company's product liability insurance on September 1, 2011 and 2012 with absolute exclusions for claims related to Reglan® and metoclopramide. The Company cannot provide assurances that the outcome of these matters will not have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Furthermore, like all pharmaceutical manufacturers, the Company in the future may be exposed to other product liability claims, which could harm its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

        Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.

        The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of the Company's funds. The fair value of short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, borrowings under line of credit, notes payable, and other current liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

        The Company's stock purchase warrants are classified as derivative liabilities and are measured at fair value using level 3 inputs. The fair value of stock purchase warrants is determined using a two-step process which includes valuing the Company's equity using both market and discounted cash flow methods, and then apportioning that value, using an equity allocation model, to each of the Company's classes of stock. These models require the use of unobservable inputs such as fair value of the Company's common and preferred stock, expected term, anticipated volatility, future interest and interest rates, expected cash flows and the number of outstanding common and preferred shares as of a future date. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative liabilities, and the changes in such fair value, was immaterial as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company has no other financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. The Company has no nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Revised Merger Agreement with BioSante

        In October 2012, the Company entered into a merger agreement with BioSante, which agreement was revised in April 2013, by which a subsidiary of BioSante will merge into the Company in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the revised merger agreement, BioSante will issue to Company stockholders shares of BioSante common stock such that the former Company stockholders will own 57 percent of the combined company's shares outstanding, and the former BioSante stockholders will own 43 percent. In addition, immediately prior to the merger, BioSante plans to distribute to its then current stockholders contingent value rights (CVR) providing payment rights arising from a future sale, transfer, license or similar transaction(s) involving BioSante's LibiGel® (female testosterone gel). Upon completion of the merger, the combined company will be renamed ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and will operate under the leadership of the Company's management team. The board of directors of the combined company is expected to have two directors from BioSante and five Company directors. Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, approval of the merger agreement by ANI stockholders and approval by BioSante stockholders of the issuance of BioSante shares in the merger. If any of the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or, where waiver is permissible but not waived, the merger will not be consummated. The merger is expected to close during the third quarter of calendar 2013.

The Company stockholders' meeting at which the Original Merger Agreement and certain related matters (the " Meeting ") were to be considered was adjourned until April 12, 2013. While a majority of the Company shares as to which voting instructions were returned were to be voted in favor of the Original Merger Agreement at the Meeting, the Company concluded that the required vote of a majority of the outstanding Company shares had not been received for the Meeting.

        C.    The Company and ANI have decided not to hold the Meeting and to amend and restate the Original Merger Agreement and enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into ANI (the " Merger ") in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the " DGCL "), after which time ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

        E.    Each of the Company, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub, has approved and declared advisable the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

        F.     The board of directors of ANI has approved unanimously and declared advisable the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, has determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, ANI and its stockholders, and has determined to recommend that ANI stockholders adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger as contemplated by this Agreement.

        G.    It is intended that the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code ").

        H.    In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to provide assurance to the Company that the Merger will be consummated, the Company and the stockholders of ANI listed on Schedule I hereto are executing voting agreements and irrevocable proxies in favor of the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the forms substantially attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 (the " Voting Agreements ").

              (iv)  The " Series A Exchange Ratio " will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Merger Shares not issued to the holders of ANI Series D Preferred Stock under clause (i) above, ANI Series C Preferred Stock under clause (ii) above or ANI Series B Preferred Stock under clause (iii) above, by (B) the number of outstanding ANI Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

        2.3     Payment of Consideration.     

            (a)   At least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company will send to each holder of record of shares of ANI Series D Preferred Stock a letter of transmittal setting forth instructions on the process for effecting the exchange of the ANI Series D Preferred for Company Common Stock. Such letter of transmittal will, among other things, (i) specify that the delivery will

A-5


    be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Company, (ii) provide for a release of any claims such holder might have against the Company, ANI, the Surviving Corporation or otherwise in connection with the Merger and (iii) otherwise be in customary form and contain such provisions as the Company may reasonably specify. At the Effective Time, each holder of record of shares of ANI Series D Preferred Stock will deliver the Certificates to the Company, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal and all other documents reasonably required by the Company, and the Company will issue the Merger Consideration to such holders of ANI Series D Preferred Stock by delivery of certificates or book entry notations and, if applicable, cash for fractional shares as provided in Section 2.3(d) . Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate will represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. In addition, no dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid or otherwise delivered to any holder of ANI Series D Preferred Stock until such holder surrenders or transfers the applicable Certificate(s).

            (b)   The transfer books of ANI will be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there will be no further registration of transfers of ANI Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time thereafter on the records of ANI. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Company or its transfer agent for any reason, they will be canceled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to the extent provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II .

            (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Party will be liable to any holder of ANI Series D Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Immediately prior to such time when the amounts otherwise would escheat to or become property of any Government Authority, any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of ANI Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time will become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, " Person " means an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

            (d)   No fractional shares of Company Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares will be issued. Any holder of ANI Series D Preferred Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Company Common Stock issuable to such holder) will, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) , be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Company Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on the Closing Date.

        2.4     Dissenting Shares .     Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, ANI Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (" Dissenting Shares ") will not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of Merger Consideration. Holders of such Dissenting Shares will instead be entitled to receive payment for the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided , however , that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares will be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive

A-6


the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. ANI will give the Company prompt notice of any demands received by ANI for appraisal of shares and withdrawals of any such demand, and any other communications delivered to ANI pursuant to or in connection with Section 262 of the DGCL, and the Company and ANI will jointly have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands (including settlement offers). Except with the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party will not offer to settle or settle or (unless required pursuant to a valid and final Order) make any payment with respect to, any such demands.

        2.5     Required Withholdings .     The Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration such amounts, if any, as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any other Applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been delivered or otherwise paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been delivered or otherwise paid pursuant to the Merger and this Agreement.

        2.6     Lost Certificates .     If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed the Company will cause to be issued, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II .

         2.7     Adjustments .    If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of ANI or the Company occurs, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including any reverse stock split), merger, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Exchange Ratio will be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Exchange Ratio or any such other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

        2.8     Merger Sub Capital Stock .     Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

        2.9     Tax Consequences .     For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

        3.9     Benefit Plans.     

            (a)    Section 3.9 of the ANI Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of each ANI Benefit Plan. An " ANI Benefit Plan " is any "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (" ERISA "), and whether or not subject to ERISA, any material employment, termination or severance agreement, and any material bonus, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, equity-based, vacation, severance, retention, change in control, profit sharing, retirement, welfare, disability, death benefit, hospitalization or insurance plan, and any other material plan, agreement, or program providing compensation or benefits to any current or former employee, director or independent contractor of ANI or any Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate of ANI or maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by ANI, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate or that ANI, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate has committed to establish, adopt or contribute to, or under which ANI, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate otherwise has or may have any liability. An "ERISA Affiliate" with respect to any Party means any entity required to be aggregated with such Party under Section 414 of the Code, or any trade or business, whether or not incorporated that together with such Party would be deemed a "single employer" within the meaning of Section 4001(b) of ERISA (an " ERISA Affiliate ")

            (b)   No ANI Benefit Plan is a multiemployer plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37)).

            (c)   No ANI Benefit Plan is a "defined benefit pension plan" within the meaning of Code Section 414(j) or subject to Title IV of ERISA; no ANI Benefit Plan is subject to the minimum funding standards of Code Section 412 and/or ERISA Section 302; and neither ANI nor any Subsidiary has any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (" PBGC ") or any other person, arising directly or indirectly under Title IV of ERISA.

            (d)   Each ANI Benefit Plan has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to ERISA and the Code and with respect to the ANI Benefit Plans, individually and in the aggregate, no event has occurred and, to the knowledge of ANI, there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which ANI or any of its Subsidiaries or other ERISA Affiliates could be subject to any liability under ERISA, the Code or any other Applicable Law.

            (e)   There are no actions, suits or claims pending (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of ANI, threatened against, or with respect to, any ANI Benefit Plan.

A-16


            (f)    All required contributions to ANI Benefit Plans due on or before the Closing Date have been, or will have been, made or properly accrued on or before the Closing Date.

            (g)   Except as set forth in Section 3.9(g) of the ANI Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery by ANI of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Merger and compliance with the terms hereof (whether alone or in combination with any other event) will not, (A) entitle any current or former employee or director or independent contractor of ANI or any Subsidiary to severance pay, (B) except as expressly required by this Agreement, accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any ANI Benefit Plan, (C) result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any ANI Benefit Plan, or (D) cause any amounts payable under any ANI Benefit Plan (whether in cash, in property or in the form of benefits) to fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes by virtue of Sections 162(m) or 280G of the Code.

            (h)   None of ANI, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate, or ANI Benefit Plan has engaged in a transaction in connection with which ANI, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate, ANI Benefit Plan (or any such trust, or any trustee or administrator thereof), or any party dealing with any ANI Benefit Plan or any such trust could be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Sections 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 4975 or 4976 of the Code.

            (i)    Each ANI Benefit Plan and related trust intended to qualify under Sections 401 and 501(a) of the Code is subject to a current favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (" IRS ") and, to ANI's knowledge, nothing has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the revocation of such letter. ANI and its Subsidiaries have not sponsored, maintained or contributed to or had any liability with respect to any qualified pension plan which, during the preceding two (2) years, has been terminated, including by way of merger with or into an ANI Benefit Plan or another plan.

            (j)    Except as set forth in Section 3.9(j) of the ANI Disclosure Schedule, ANI and its Subsidiaries do not contribute to, have or could have any liability with respect to retiree medical coverage or other medical, health, life or other welfare benefits for present or future terminated employees or their spouses or dependents other than as required by Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA (" COBRA ") or any comparable state Applicable Law.

            (k)   No employer other than ANI, a Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate is permitted to participate in any ANI Benefit Plan and no leased employees (as defined in Code Section 414(n)) or independent contractors are eligible for, or participate in, any ANI Benefit Plan.

            (l)    Except as set forth on Section 3.9 of the ANI Disclosure Schedule, no ANI Benefit Plan is a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" subject to Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (unless such ANI Benefit Plan complies with an exemption or exception to Code Section 409A). None of ANI, its Subsidiaries or its ERISA Affiliates is a party to any agreement, or otherwise obligated under any ANI Benefit Plan, to provide for a gross up of Taxes imposed by Section 409A of the Code. Each nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) maintained or sponsored by ANI its Subsidiaries or its ERISA Affiliates has since (i) January 1, 2005, been maintained and operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Notice 2005-1, (ii) October 3, 2004, not been "materially modified" (within the meaning of Notice 2005 1) with respect to any amounts that are "grandfathered" from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and (iii) January 1, 2010, been in documentary and operational compliance with final regulations under Section 409A of the Code.

A-17


            (m)  No ANI Benefit Plan is not now, or in the past seven years has been, "top-heavy" pursuant to Code Section 416.

               (v)  material correspondence in the past seven years with regulatory authorities (such as a copy of all documents relating to any audit or investigation by any regulatory authority or any a voluntary correction submission with the Department of Labor or the IRS) with respect to any ANI Benefit Plan.

        3.10     Subsidiaries.      Section 3.10 of the ANI Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all the Subsidiaries of ANI. Each Subsidiary of ANI is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and, in the case of corporations, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a material effect on ANI. All of the shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries held by ANI or by another ANI Subsidiary are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by ANI or a Subsidiary of ANI free and clear of any material Lien, except for ANI Permitted Liens.

            (d)   Subject to the Parties' right to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.7 prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of ANI and the Company agree that (i) such Party's right to receive the payment of a Termination Fee (and, if applicable, the reimbursement of Expenses), as and when set forth in Section 7.3(a) , will be the sole and exclusive remedy of such Party against the other Party, any of such other Party's Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future Representatives, stockholders, general or limited partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, assignees or Affiliates (collectively, the " Other

A-73


    Parties ") for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for any other breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (ii) none of the Other Parties will have any liability or obligation, in any such case (clause (i) or (ii)) relating to, arising out of or with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether relating to, arising out of or with respect to any matter(s) forming the basis for such termination or otherwise). Without limitation of the foregoing, neither Party nor any of its respective Affiliates or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any proceeding, claim, suit or action against, or seek damages from, any of the Other Parties in contravention of the preceding sentence.

            (e)   Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Termination Fee is not a penalty, but constitutes liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or ANI, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. If either the Company or ANI fails to pay a Termination Fee or reimburse Expenses when due, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the defaulting party for such Termination Fee or Expense reimbursement, the defaulting Party will pay to the other Party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee or Expense reimbursement from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

        8.7     Other Remedies; Specific Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction.     Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such terms. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that: (i) any Party has an adequate remedy at law; or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. In addition, each of the Parties: (x) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any state court located in the State of Delaware in the event that any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; (y) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; and (z) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, in any court other than a federal court located in the State of Delaware or a state court located in the State of Delaware.

        8.8     Counterparts.     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile signatures, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party and each of which will be an original, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement or amendments thereto and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission in portable digital format (or similar format) will constitute effective execution and delivery of such instrument(s) as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the Original Merger Agreement or amendment for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile or by e-mail transmission in portable digital format (or similar format) will be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

        8.9     Severability.     Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination will have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

To that end, with respect to the Released Claims only, the Company and ANI expressly waive and relinquish any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of the United States or of any state or territory of the United States or of any other relevant jurisdiction, or principle of common law, under which a general release does not extend to claims which the parties do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by the Parties might have affected the Parties' negotiation of this Agreement.

Any Released Person may plead this Agreement as a complete bar to any Released Claim brought in derogation of this covenant not to sue.

         8.12     Deliveries .    Each Party agrees and acknowledges that all documents or other items included in the electronic dataroom used in connection with the Merger or otherwise delivered to the other Party or its representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) will be deemed to be delivered, provided or made available to the other Party for all purposes under this Agreement.

ANNEX B

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT

        This AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT (this " Agreement "), dated as of April 12, 2013, is by and between, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), and the undersigned stockholder (" Stockholder ") of ANIP Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (" ANI ") identified on the signature page hereto.

        A.    Stockholder and the Company previously entered into a Voting Agreement, dated October 3, 2012 (the " Original Voting Agreement "), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date therewith, between the Company and ANI;

        B.    The Company, ANI and ANI Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante (" Merger Sub "), are entering into Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the " Amended and Restated Merger Agreement "), dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI (the " Merger "), after which time ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

        C.    As of the date hereof, Stockholder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of, and has the sole right to vote and dispose of, that number of shares of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Class C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock (the " ANI Shares ") of ANI set forth beside Stockholder's name on Schedule A hereto; and

        D.    Concurrently with the entry by the Company, ANI and Merger Sub into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and incur the obligations set forth therein, the Company has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Original Voting Agreement in its entirety;

        Accordingly, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I.
Definitions

        Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement are used in this Agreement with the meanings given to such terms in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement:

        " Affiliate " means, with respect to any specified person, a person who, at the time of determination, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to Stockholder, " Affiliate " does not include ANI and the persons that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, are controlled by ANI. For the avoidance of doubt, no officer or director of ANI will be deemed an Affiliate of another officer or director of ANI by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of ANI.

        " Beneficially Owned " or " Beneficial Ownership " with respect to any securities means having beneficial ownership of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, disregarding the phrase "within 60 days" in paragraph (d)(1)(i) thereof), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities, securities Beneficially Owned by a person include securities Beneficially Owned by (i) all Affiliates of such person, and (ii) all other persons with whom such person would constitute a

B-1


Table of Contents

"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

        " Beneficial Owner " with respect to any securities means a person that has Beneficial Ownership of such securities.

        " person " has the meaning ascribed thereto in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

        " Subject Shares " means, with respect to Stockholder, without duplication, (i) the ANI Shares owned by Stockholder on the date hereof as described on Schedule A , and (ii) any additional ANI Shares acquired by Stockholder or over which Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership from and after the date hereof, whether pursuant to existing stock option agreements, warrants or otherwise. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that ANI changes the number of ANI Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Expiration Date as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, combination, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the number of Subject Shares subject to this Agreement will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

        " Transfer " means, with respect to a security, the sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or disposition of such security or the Beneficial Ownership thereof, and each option, agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing. As a verb, " Transfer " has a correlative meaning.


ARTICLE II.
Covenants of Stockholder

        2.1     Irrevocable Proxy.     Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees to deliver to the Company a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Proxy "), which will be irrevocable to the extent provided in Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the " DGCL "), with respect to the Subject Shares referred to therein.

        2.2     Agreement to Vote.     

            (a)   At any meeting of the stockholders of ANI held prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Article V ), however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof prior to the Expiration Date, or in connection with any written consent of, or any other action by, the stockholders of the Company given or solicited prior to the Expiration Date, Stockholder will vote, or provide a consent with respect to, all of the Subject Shares entitled to vote or to consent thereon (i) in favor of the adoption of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and any actions required in furtherance thereof, and (ii) against any Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger), against any amendment of ANI's certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any other proposal or transaction involving ANI, the purpose of which amendment or other proposal or transaction is to delay, prevent or nullify the Merger or the transaction contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any capital stock of ANI, and against any other action or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of ANI under the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

            (b)   Stockholder will not enter into any agreement with any person (other than the Company) prior to the Expiration Date (with respect to periods prior to or after the Expiration Date) directly or indirectly to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of, the Subject Shares in respect of the matters described in Section 2.2 hereof, or the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violate any provision contained in this Section 2.2 . Any vote or consent (or withholding of consent) by Stockholder that is not in accordance with this Section 2.2 will be considered null and void, and the provisions of the Proxy will be deemed to take immediate effect.

        2.3     Revocation of Proxies; Cooperation.     Stockholder agrees as follows:

Accordingly, Stockholder agrees that, (a) it will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law, and (b) in addition to any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled, at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

        6.10     Waiver.     The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, the Proxy or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of

any other right, power or privilege.

ANNEX C

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT

        This AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT (this " Agreement "), dated as of April 12, 2013, is by and between, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), and the undersigned stockholder (" Stockholder ") of ANIP Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (" ANI ") identified on the signature page hereto.

        A.    Stockholder and the Company previously entered into a Voting Agreement, dated October 3, 2012 (the " Original Voting Agreement "), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date therewith, between the Company and ANI;

        B.    The Company, ANI and ANI Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante (" Merger Sub "), are entering into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the " Amended and Restated Merger Agreement "), dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ANI (the " Merger "), after which time ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

        C.    As of the date hereof, Stockholder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of, and has the sole right to vote and dispose of, that number of shares of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Class C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock (the " ANI Shares ") of ANI set forth beside Stockholder's name on Schedule A hereto; and

        D.    Concurrently with the entry by the Company, ANI and Merger Sub into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and incur the obligations set forth therein, the Company has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Original Voting Agreement in its entirety;

        Accordingly, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I.
Definitions

        Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement are used in this Agreement with the meanings given to such terms in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement:

        " Affiliate " means, with respect to any specified person, a person who, at the time of determination, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to Stockholder, " Affiliate " does not include ANI and the persons that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, are controlled by ANI. For the avoidance of doubt, no officer or director of ANI will be deemed an Affiliate of another officer or director of ANI by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of ANI.

        " Beneficially Owned " or " Beneficial Ownership " with respect to any securities means having beneficial ownership of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, disregarding the phrase "within 60 days" in paragraph (d)(1)(i) thereof), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities, securities Beneficially Owned by a person include securities Beneficially Owned by (i) all Affiliates of such person, and (ii) all other persons with whom such person would constitute a

C-1


Table of Contents

"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

        " Beneficial Owner " with respect to any securities means a person that has Beneficial Ownership of such securities.

        " person " has the meaning ascribed thereto in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

        " Subject Shares " means, with respect to Stockholder, without duplication, (i) the ANI Shares owned by Stockholder on the date hereof as described on Schedule A , and (ii) any additional ANI Shares acquired by Stockholder or over which Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership from and after the date hereof, whether pursuant to existing stock option agreements, warrants or otherwise. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that ANI changes the number of ANI Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Expiration Date as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, combination, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the number of Subject Shares subject to this Agreement will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

        " Transfer " means, with respect to a security, the sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or disposition of such security or the Beneficial Ownership thereof, and each option, agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing. As a verb, " Transfer " has a correlative meaning.


ARTICLE II.
Covenants of Stockholder

        2.1     Irrevocable Proxy.     Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees to deliver to the Company a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Proxy "), which will be irrevocable to the extent provided in Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the " DGCL "), with respect to the Subject Shares referred to therein.

            (b)   From the Effective Time until immediately following the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company following the consummation of the Merger (the " Annual Meeting "), Stockholder agrees that, provided that prior to the Annual Meeting the Company Director Nominees: (1) have nominated Robert E. Brown, Jr. and Thomas A. Penn to the Company Board and (2) have nominated Robert E.

ANNEX D

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT

        This AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT (this " Agreement "), dated as of April 12, 2013, is by and between ANIP Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (" ANI "), and the undersigned stockholder (" Stockholder ") of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), identified on the signature page hereto.

        A.    Stockholder and ANI previously entered into a Voting Agreement, dated October 3, 2012 (the " Original Voting Agreement "), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date therewith, between the Company and ANI;

        B.    The Company, ANI and ANI Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (" Merger Sub "), are entering into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the " Amended and Restated Merger Agreement "), dated as of the date hereof, providing for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ANI (the " Merger "), after which time ANI will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

        C.    As of the date hereof, Stockholder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of, and has the sole right to vote and dispose of, that number of shares of common stock and Class C Special Shares (the " Company Shares ") of the Company set forth beside Stockholder's name on Schedule A hereto; and

        D.    Concurrently with the entry by the Company, ANI and Merger Sub into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of ANI to enter into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and incur the obligations set forth therein, ANI has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Original Voting Agreement in its entirety;

        Accordingly, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I.
Definitions

        Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement are used in this Agreement with the meanings given to such terms in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement:

         "Affiliate" means, with respect to any specified person, a person who, at the time of determination, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to Stockholder, " Affiliate " does not include the Company and the persons that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, are controlled by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no officer or director of the Company will be deemed an Affiliate of another officer or director of the Company by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of the Company.

         "Beneficially Owned" or "Beneficial Ownership" with respect to any securities means having beneficial ownership of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, disregarding the phrase "within 60 days" in paragraph (d)(1)(i) thereof), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities, securities Beneficially Owned by a person include securities Beneficially Owned by (i) all Affiliates of such person, and (ii) all other persons with whom such person would constitute a

D-1


Table of Contents

"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

         "Beneficial Owner" with respect to any securities means a person that has Beneficial Ownership of such securities.

         "person" has the meaning ascribed thereto in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement.

         "Subject Shares" means, with respect to Stockholder, without duplication, (i) the Company Shares owned by Stockholder on the date hereof as described on Schedule A , and (ii) any additional Company Shares acquired by Stockholder or over which Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership from and after the date hereof, whether pursuant to existing stock option agreements or otherwise. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of Company Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Expiration Date as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, combination, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the number of Subject Shares subject to this Agreement will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

         "Transfer" means, with respect to a security, the sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or disposition of such security or the Beneficial Ownership thereof, and each option, agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing. As a verb, " Transfer " has a correlative meaning.

        6.9     Enforcement of Agreement.     Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that ANI could be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by Stockholder could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, Stockholder agrees that, (a) it will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law, and (b) in addition to any other right or remedy to which ANI may be entitled, at law or in equity, ANI will be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

        6.10     Waiver.     The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, the Proxy or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement, the Proxy or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a written document signed by the other party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement, the Proxy or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

April 12, 2013

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
111 Barclay Boulevard
Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        This agreement amends and restates in its entirety the lock-up agreement, dated October 3, 2012, between the undersigned and BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (" BioSante "), entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated the date thereof, by and between BioSante and ANIP Acquisition Company (d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (" ANI "). Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the " Merger Agreement "), by and among BioSante, ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante (" Merger Sub "), and ANI, dated as of the date hereof. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, BioSante and ANI plan to effect a merger (the " Merger ") in which Merger Sub will be merging with and into ANI, with ANI being the surviving corporation. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

        To induce both parties to continue their efforts in connection with the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, without BioSante's prior written consent, the undersigned will not, for a period commencing on the closing date of the Merger and ending 180 days after such date (the " Lock-Up Period "), directly or indirectly, or publicly announce an intention to (a) offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any shares of BioSante's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to be received by the undersigned in the Merger (the " Common Stock "), (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restriction (i) shall not limit the right of the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period to make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock so long as there are no sales of such shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) shall include, without limitation, any securities issued to the undersigned in the Merger in exchange for securities of ANI.

        Any Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in the open market on or after the closing of the Merger will not be subject to this agreement. A transfer of Common Stock to an immediate family member or a trust for the benefit of the undersigned or an immediate family member (including by will or intestacy) or a distribution to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned may be made, provided that the transferee agrees in writing prior to such transfer to be bound by the terms of this agreement as if it were a party hereto. For purposes of this agreement, "immediate family" means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin (including lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned or the undersigned's spouse).

        The foregoing restriction shall not apply: (1) to bona fide gifts by the undersigned, provided that (a) each resulting transferee of Common Stock executes and delivers to BioSante an agreement certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this agreement and has been in compliance with the terms hereof since the date first above written as if it had been an original party hereto and (b) to

Table of Contents

the extent any interest in Common Stock is retained by the undersigned (or such spouse or family member), such Common Stock shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement or (2) to sale, transfer or other transaction in or relating to shares of Common Stock in connection with any merger of BioSante with or into any other entity or tender offer by BioSante or any other entity for the Common Stock, in each case which transaction has been approved by at least a majority of BioSante's Board of Directors.

        The undersigned agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with BioSante's transfer agent and registrar relating to the transfer of the undersigned's shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the restrictions described above and authorizes BioSante, during the Lock-Up Period, to cause BioSante's transfer agent to place a notation on book-entry notations representing the Common Stock.

        The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement, and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. Any obligations created by this agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

        The undersigned agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the undersigned of any covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this agreement, then BioSante shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to BioSante) to (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

        Any term or provision of this agreement that is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this agreement and the balance of this agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

        The provisions of this agreement may not be amended or waived by the undersigned party without the prior written consent of BioSante.

        This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to such State's principles of conflict of laws. Delivery of a signed copy of this letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of the original hereof.


Very truly yours,

In all questions arising under this Agreement, the Holder Representative may rely on the advice of outside counsel, and the Holder Representative will not be liable to any Holder for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by Holder Representative based on such advice.

        (c)   The Holders will severally (on a pro rata basis, based on the number of CVRs held by each Holder) but not jointly indemnify the Holder Representative and hold the Holder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Holder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Holder Representative's duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other advisors reasonably retained by the Holder Representative.

If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination will have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

G-15

transmission or by e-mail transmission in portable digital format (or similar format) will constitute effective execution and delivery of such instrument(s) as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement or amendment for all purposes.

        (b)   Any claim which the Holders have the right to assert hereunder (including any claims brought by the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders) will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Company, the Rights Agent and/or the Holder Representative may initiate an arbitration for any matter relating to this Agreement. However, in the event of a dispute arising from the delivery of a Notice of Objection, the sole matter to be settled by arbitration will be whether a LibiGel Transaction has occurred or Net Revenues have been received on or before the Outside Date. The number of arbitrators will be one, and such arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The place of the arbitration will be Chicago, Illinois. The arbitrator will be a lawyer or retired judge or accountant with experience in the pharmaceutical industry and with mergers and acquisitions. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties (provided that the Holder Representative may disclose to the Holders any such information without the consent of the Company). Any award payable in favor of the Holders or the Rights Agent as a result of arbitration will be distributed to the Holders on a pro rata basis, based on the number of CVRs held by each Holder. The Company will pay all fees and expenses of the arbitration, including the costs and expenses billed by the arbitrator in connection with the performance of its duties described herein; provided , however , that if the arbitrator rules in favor of the Company, the arbitrator's fees and expenses will be offset against the CVR Payment Amount, if any, or any payment to be made thereafter hereunder.

        (a)     Definition.     " Confidential Information " shall mean any and all technical or business information relating to a party, including, without limitation, financial, marketing and product development information, stockholder information (including any non-public information of such stockholder), and proprietary information that is disclosed or otherwise becomes known to the other party or its affiliates, agents or representatives before or during the term of this Agreement.

However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party's Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

            (iii)  use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

The Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ANI (the " Merger "), pursuant to which each outstanding share of the series D convertible preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, of ANI (" ANI Series D Preferred Stock ") will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the " Company Common Stock ") equal to the Series D Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Agreement). Further, pursuant to the Agreement under certain circumstances, holders of (i) series C convertible preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, of ANI, (ii) series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, of ANI and (iii) series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, of ANI may receive shares of Company Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Agreement).

        In arriving at our Opinion, we:

    (a)
    reviewed the Agreement dated as of April 12, 2013;

    (b)
    reviewed publicly available financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012;

    (c)
    reviewed audited financial statements of ANI for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, draft audited financial statements of ANI for the year ended December 31, 2012, and other relevant financial and operating data furnished to Oppenheimer by ANI;

    (d)
    reviewed financial forecasts and estimates relating to the Company prepared by the management of the Company;

    (e)
    reviewed financial forecasts and estimates relating to ANI prepared by the management of ANI;

    (f)
    held discussions with the senior managements of the Company and ANI with respect to the businesses and prospects of the Company and ANI, respectively;

    (g)
    reviewed the historical market prices and trading volumes of Company Common Stock;

    (h)
    reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial data for companies we deemed relevant in evaluating ANI;

    (i)
    analyzed the estimated present value of the future cash flows of ANI based on financial forecasts and estimates prepared by the management of ANI;

    (j)
    reviewed other public information concerning the Company; and

H-1


Table of Contents

    (k)
    performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as we deemed appropriate.

        In rendering our Opinion, we relied upon and assumed, without independent verification or investigation, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information publicly available or provided to or discussed with us by the Company and ANI and their respective employees, representatives and affiliates or otherwise reviewed by us. With respect to the respective financial forecasts and estimates relating to the Company and ANI referred to above, we have assumed, at the direction of the respective management of each of the Company and ANI and with the Company's consent, without independent verification or investigation, that such forecasts and estimates were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best available information, estimates and judgments of the respective managements of the Company and ANI as to the future financial condition and operating results of the Company and ANI and the other matters covered thereby and that the financial results reflected in such forecasts and estimates will be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected. At the direction of representatives of the Company, we also assumed that the final terms of the Agreement will not vary materially from those set forth in the draft reviewed by us. We have assumed, with the consent of the Company, that the Merger will qualify for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We also have assumed, with the consent of the Company, that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with its terms without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Merger. We have neither made nor obtained any independent evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of the Company or ANI.

        We are not expressing any opinion as to the underlying valuation, future performance or long term viability of the Company or ANI, the actual value of Company Common Stock when issued in the Merger or the price at which Company Common Stock will trade at any time. We express no view as to, and our Opinion does not address, any terms or other aspects or implications of the Merger (other than the Exchange Ratios to the extent expressly specified herein) or any aspect or implication of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Merger or otherwise, including, without limitation, the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation resulting from the Merger to any individual officers, directors or employees of the Company, or class of such persons, relative to the Exchange Ratios. Notably, we express no view as to, and our Opinion does not address, the right of the Company to issue to the holders of Company Common Stock a dividend prior to the consummation of the Merger of contingent value rights with respect to certain payments arising from the sale, transfer, license or a similar transaction relating to the Company's LibiGel program in accordance with the terms of a form of Contingent Value Rights Agreement in the form agreed to by the Company and ANI.

        In addition, we express no view as to, and our Opinion does not address, the underlying business decision of the Company to proceed with or effect the Merger nor does our Opinion address the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for the Company or the effect of any other transaction in which the Company might engage. Our Opinion is necessarily based on the information available to us and general economic, financial and stock market conditions and circumstances as they exist and can be evaluated by us on the date hereof. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments may affect this Opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the Opinion.

        We are not legal, tax, regulatory or accounting advisors and have relied on the assessments made by the Company and its advisors with respect to such issues. This Opinion does not address any legal,

H-2


Table of Contents

tax, regulatory or accounting matters. In addition, this Opinion does not constitute a solvency opinion or a fair value opinion, and we have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of the Company under any federal or state laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.

        The issuance of this Opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Oppenheimer. As part of our investment banking business, we are regularly engaged in valuations of businesses and securities in connection with acquisitions and mergers, underwritings, secondary distributions of securities, private placements and valuations for other purposes.

        We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which will be payable upon delivery of this Opinion and a portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. In the two years prior to the date hereof, we have provided financial advisory services for the Company unrelated to the Merger and have received fees from the Company in connection with certain of such services. During the same period, we provided certain private placement and/or arranger services for ANI unrelated to the Merger; however, the proposed transaction was not consummated and we did not receive any compensation therefor. We may also seek to provide financial advisory services to the Company in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates may actively trade securities of the Company for our and our affiliates' own accounts and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, a senior member of the Oppenheimer Investment Banking team assisting the Company in connection with the Merger currently owns approximately 1,400 shares of Company Common Stock, which were acquired in 2009.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and such other factors as we deemed relevant, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratios provided for in the Agreement are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company. This Opinion is for the use of the Board of Directors of the Company in its evaluation of the Merger and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this Opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing that the Company is required to make with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger if such inclusion is required by law. In addition, this Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Merger.

    Very truly yours,

ANNEX I

SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

§ 262. Appraisal rights.

        (a)   Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

        (b)   Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

            (1)   Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

            (2)   Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

              a.     Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

              b.     Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

              c.     Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

              d.     Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

            (3)   In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

I-1


Table of Contents

        (c)   Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

        (d)   Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

            (1)   If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

            (2)   If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give

I-2


Table of Contents

    either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

        (e)   Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

        (f)    Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

        (g)   At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

        (h)   After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the

I-3


Table of Contents

fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

        (i)    The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

        (j)    The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

        (k)   From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

        (l)    The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        BioSante's certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, Article VII of BioSante's certificate of incorporation provides that no director of BioSante will be personally liable to BioSante or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such a director as a director, except to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to BioSante or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of BioSante will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended. No amendment to or repeal of Article VII will apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of BioSante for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

        BioSante's certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of BioSante's directors and officers. Specifically, Article VI provides that BioSante will indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, as the same exists or may thereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of BioSante), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of BioSante, or is or was serving at the request of BioSante as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise; provided, however, that BioSante will not indemnify any director or officer in connection with any action by such director or officer against BioSante unless BioSante has consented to such action. BioSante may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the BioSante board of directors, provide rights to indemnification to employees and agents of BioSante similar to those conferred in Article VI to directors and officers of BioSante. No amendment or repeal of Article VI will apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided thereunder with respect to any acts or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

        The merger agreement provides that the combined company will continue to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director or officer of BioSante, with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to completion of the merger, including advancing expenses, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and BioSante's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The merger agreement also provides that the combined company will honor all indemnification agreements in place with each present and former director or officer of BioSante. The merger agreement provides that the combined company will continue to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, officer, or employee of ANI, with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to completion of the merger, including advancing expenses, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. In addition, all rights to indemnification with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to completion of the merger existing in favor of each present and former director, officer, or employee of ANI as provided in ANI's certificate of incorporation, ANI's bylaws, or indemnification agreements will remain in effect. The merger agreement also provides that, prior to completion of the merger, BioSante will purchase and maintain for a period of six years following completion of the merger, a directors' and officers' liability "tail" insurance policy covering the present and former directors and officers of BioSante and ANI for events

II-1


Table of Contents

occurring prior to completion of the merger. Such policy must contain terms no less favorable than the policies maintained by BioSante and ANI prior to completion of the merger.

        BioSante has entered into agreements with its directors and officers regarding indemnification, in addition to indemnification provided for in BioSante's certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and officers in the future. Under these agreements, BioSante is required to indemnify its current and former directors and officers against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of BioSante's directors or officers. BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to BioSante's best interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, BioSante will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

        BioSante maintains an insurance policy for its directors and officers pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against liability for certain actions in their capacity as directors and officers of BioSante.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to BioSante's directors, officers or persons controlling BioSante pursuant to the foregoing provisions, BioSante is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

    The undersigned registrant undertakes as follows:

    (1)
    that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

    (2)
    that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (d)
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

    (f)
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BioSante”), in connection with the proposed issuance of up to 32,814,504 shares of BioSante’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), in connection with the merger of merger of ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante (“Merger Sub”), with and into ANIP Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ANI”) with ANI continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante (the “Merger”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 12, 2013 by and between BioSante, Merger Sub and ANI (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”).  The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended through the effective date thereof, the “Registration Statement”) filed by BioSante with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on the date hereof.  This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related joint proxy statement/prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

 

In acting as counsel for BioSante and arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of BioSante, agreements and other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of BioSante, certificates of public officials and other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed herein.  In connection with our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents tendered to us as originals, the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and that, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We express no opinion with respect to laws other than those of the federal law of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing), and we assume no responsibility as to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 



 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the joint proxy statement/prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement, including any amendments and supplements to the foregoing.  In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

 

Very truly yours,

This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended through the effective date thereof, the “Registration Statement”), which includes the joint proxy statement/prospectus, filed by BioSante with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the date hereof.  This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related joint proxy statement/prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein.

 

In acting as counsel for BioSante and arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of BioSante, agreements and other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of BioSante, certificates of public officials and other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed herein.  In connection with our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents tendered to us as originals, the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies. In addition, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness, both initially and continuing as of the effective time of the Merger, of certain statements, representations, covenants and agreements made by BioSante and ANI, including factual statements and representations set forth in the letters dated the date hereof from officers of BioSante and ANI (the “Representation Letters”). For purposes of rendering our opinion, we have assumed that such statements, representations, covenants and agreements are, and will continue to be as of the effective time of the Merger, true and correct without regard to any qualification as to knowledge. We also have assumed that the transactions related to the Merger or contemplated by the Agreement will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as described in the Registration Statement, and that none of the terms and conditions contained therein will have been waived or modified in any respect prior to the effective time of the Merger.

 

In rendering our opinion, we have considered applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”), pertinent judicial authorities, rulings of the Internal Revenue Service and such other authorities as we have considered relevant, in each case, in effect on the date hereof. It should be noted that such laws, Code, Regulations, judicial decisions, administrative interpretations and such other authorities are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect. A change in any of the authorities upon which our opinion is based, or any variation or difference in any fact from those set forth or assumed herein or in the Registration

 



 

Statement, the Merger Agreement or the Representation Letters, could affect our conclusions herein. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our opinion will be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service or, if challenged, by a court.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that (i) under current United States federal income tax law, the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) insofar as they purport to describe provisions of United States federal income tax law, the statements set forth under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” in the Registration Statement accurately describe the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger.

 

Except as expressly set forth above, we express no opinion to any party as to any tax consequences, whether federal, state, local or foreign, of the Merger or of any transaction related to or contemplated by the Merger.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the captions “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” and “Legal Matters” in the joint proxy statement/prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement, including any amendments and supplements to the foregoing.  In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we are under no obligation to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof or the impact of any information, document, certificate, record, statement, representation, covenant or assumption relied upon herein that becomes incorrect or untrue.

Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to ANIP Acquisition Company (d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“ ANI ”), in connection with the merger of ANI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Sub ”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ BioSante ”), with and into ANI (the “ Merger ”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 12, 2013, by and among ANI. Merger Sub and BioSante (as may be amended from time to time, the “ Merger Agreement ”).  This opinion is being delivered in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended through the effective date thereof, the “ Registration Statement ”), which includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus, filed by BioSante with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), on the date hereof, and in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K under the Act.  Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used and not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to it in the Merger Agreement.

 

In rendering our opinion set forth below, we have examined and relied upon, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness both initially and continuing as of the Effective Time, of the statements, facts, information, representations, covenants and agreements contained in originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below, including officers’ certificates from officers of ANI, dated as of April 25, 2013, and BioSante, dated as of April 25, 2013 (the “ Representation Letters ”).  For purposes of rendering our opinion, we have assumed that such statements, facts, information, representations, covenants and agreements are, and will continue to be up to and including the Effective Time, accurate and complete without regard to any qualification as to knowledge.  Our opinion assumes and is expressly conditioned on, among other things, the initial and continuing accuracy and completeness up to and including the Effective Time of the statements, facts, information, representations, covenants and agreements set forth in the documents referred to above and the statements, representations, covenants and agreements made by ANI and BioSante, including those set forth in the Representation Letters.

 

In our examination, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents and all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (v) the authenticity of the originals of such documents, (vi) the necessary entity formation and continuing existence in the jurisdiction of formation, and the necessary licensing and qualification in all jurisdictions, of all parties to all documents, (vii) the enforceability (as limited by bankruptcy and other insolvency laws) and, with respect thereto and to any other matter herein to which relevant, any necessary entity power and authority, authorization, execution, authentication, payment and delivery of, under and with respect to all documents to which this opinion letter relates, (viii) that there is not any other agreement that modifies or supplements the agreements expressed in

 



 

any document to which this opinion letter relates in a manner that affects the correctness of any opinion expressed below, and (ix) that there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence in connection with any document.  We also have assumed that the transactions related to the Merger or contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and as described in the Registration Statement, that none of the terms or conditions therein will have been waived or modified in any respect prior to the Effective Time and that the Merger will constitute a statutory merger under applicable state law.  Each assumption herein is made and relied upon with your permission and without independent investigation.

 

In rendering our opinion, we have considered applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Regulations ”), pertinent judicial authorities, rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”) and such other authorities as we have considered relevant, in each case, in effect on the date hereof.  It should be noted that such laws, Code, Regulations, judicial authorities, administrative interpretations and such other authorities are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect.  A change in any of the authorities upon which our opinion is based, or any variation or difference in any fact from those set forth or assumed herein or in the Registration Statement, the Merger Agreement or the Representation Letters, could affect our conclusions herein.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that our opinion will be accepted by the IRS or, if challenged, by a court.

 

Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under current U.S. federal income tax law, (i) the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax law and as limited therein, the statements set forth under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” in the Registration Statement accurately describe the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger.

 

Except as expressly set forth above, we express no other opinion, including to any party as to any tax consequences, whether U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S., of the Merger or of any transaction related to or contemplated by the Merger.  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to the references to our firm name therein.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 

This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we are under no obligation to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof or the impact of any information, document, certificate, record, statement, representation, covenant or assumption relied upon herein that becomes incorrect or untrue.
