Roche to acquire a majority equity interest in FMI and enter into a strategic
collaboration

[] Roche and Foundation Medicine ("FMI") announced today that they will enter
into a broad and strategic collaboration that has been approved by the Boards
of both companies

[] This strategic collaboration aims to further advance FMI's leading position
in molecular information and analysis while providing Roche a unique
opportunity to identify and develop novel treatment options for patients -- The
collaboration agreements provide funding and milestones of more than USD
150m. Such funding will be used for molecular insights to support development
of combination therapies, novel targets, clinical populations, and next
generation companion diagnostics

[] Under the terms of the majority equity investment, Roche will invest USD
250m in FMI at a per share issuance price of USD 50 to fund FMI's operations
and development

[] In addition, Roche will commence a tender offer which, together with Roche's
direct investment in FMI, will result in Roche owning a minimum of 52.4%  and a
maximum of 56.3%  of FMI on a fully diluted basis. The offered share price
constitutes a 109% premium over the closing price of last Friday (January
9(th))

[] All elements of this transaction are subject to FMI shareholder approval,
are cross- conditional, and will come into force simultaneously
