* Based on 85,965,249 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding as of August 23, 2007, as provided by the Issuer, plus an estimated 50,824,986 shares expected to be issued to Invus, L.P. pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer, as described below.


Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 1 hereby amends and supplements the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D, relating to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Issuer Common Stock”), of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Lexicon”), initially filed on June 27, 2007 (the “Statement”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Statement.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second paragraph thereof with the following:

The purchase of additional shares of Issuer Common Stock by Invus, L.P. up to an aggregate of approximately $205,472,250, as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below), was subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained on August 23, 2007. Invus, L.P. intends to use funds obtained from a capital call to its limited partners in respect of previously made commitments for the payment of the purchase price for any such additional shares of Issuer Common Stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following immediately after the first paragraph thereof:

On August 23, 2007, at the special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, the Issuer’s stockholders voted to approve the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement. At the special meeting, the Issuer’s stockholders also voted to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120 million to 300 million.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Initial Investment, Lexicon will issue and sell to Invus, L.P. a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock that will result in Invus, L.P. owning 40% of the Issuer Common Stock outstanding on the date of such closing. Based on the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding as of August 23, 2007, the date of the special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, the number of shares to be purchased by Invus, L.P. in the Initial Investment is estimated to be 50,824,986. The number of shares actually issued at the closing may deviate from this estimate based on changes in the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock between August 23, 2007, and the closing of the Initial Investment, which is expected to occur on August 28, 2007, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the first, second and third paragraphs of clause (a) thereof with the following:


Schedule 13D

As of August 23, 2007, Invus Public Equities, L.P. was the record and beneficial owner of 3,891,108 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 4.53% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (not taking into account the shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or to be issued to Invus, L.P. in the Initial Investment). Invus Public Equities Advisors, LLC, as the general partner of Invus Public Equities, L.P., controls Invus Public Equities, L.P. and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common Stock held by Invus Public Equities, L.P. Invus Public Equities Advisors, LLC disclaims such beneficial ownership, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such shares.

As of August 23, 2007, Invus, L.P. may be deemed to beneficially own 50,824,986 shares of Issuer Common Stock estimated to be issued to it in the Initial Investment, representing approximately 37.16% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (taking into account the shares of Issuer Common Stock to be issued to Invus, L.P. in the Initial Investment). This number does not include the 16,498,353 shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the Warrants. Although the Warrants will remain outstanding and exercisable until the occurrence of the closing of the Initial Investment, purchases of shares of Issuer Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants will reduce the number of shares to be purchased by Invus, L.P. in the Initial Investment and will not change the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to be beneficially owned by Invus, L.P. as of the closing of the Initial Investment.

Invus Advisors, L.L.C., as the general partner of Invus, L.P., controls Invus, L.P. and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common Stock held by Invus, L.P. Invus Advisors, L.L.C. disclaims such beneficial ownership, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such shares. Invus, L.P. has certain rights to acquire additional shares of Issuer Common Stock, as described in Item 6.

Ulys, L.L.C., as the managing member of each of Invus Public Equities Advisors, LLC and Invus Advisors, L.L.C., controls each of these two entities and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common Stock held by them. Ulys, L.L.C. disclaims such beneficial ownership, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such shares. As the sole member of Ulys, L.L.C., Mr. Raymond Debbane controls Ulys, L.L.C. and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common Stock held by Ulys, L.L.C. Mr. Raymond Debbane disclaims such beneficial ownership, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in such shares.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements or Understandings with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end of the first paragraph under the heading “Securities Purchase Agreement—Stockholder Approval” in such Item:

Such stockholder approval was obtained on August 23, 2007.
