This Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 30, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) by Clearwater Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Philips Holding USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Royal Philips”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Volcano Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), including any associated rights to purchase capital stock issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated June 20, 2006, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (such rights, together with such shares of the Company’s common stock, the “Shares”), that are issued and outstanding at a price of $18.00 per Share net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated December 30, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth in Section 17—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals—Litigation” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to reach as follows:

“On December 22, 2014, Melvin Lax, an alleged stockholder of Volcano, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Lax v. Volcano Corp., et al., Case No. 10485-VCP. On January 7, 2015, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, against Volcano, its directors, Parent, Purchaser and Goldman Sachs. The amended complaint alleges generally that the Volcano directors breached their fiduciary duties to Volcano stockholders, and that the other defendants aided and abetted such breaches, by agreeing to sell Volcano for inadequate consideration, implementing an unfair process, agreeing to allegedly preclusive deal protections, and omitting material information from Volcano’s December 30, 2014 Schedule 14D-9. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, (1) an injunction prohibiting defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction; (2) recission or rescissory damages in the event the proposed transaction is consummated; and (3) attorneys’ fees and costs.

On January 9, 2015, Melissa Gordon, an alleged stockholder of Volcano, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Volcano’s directors, Royal Philips, Parent, Purchaser and Goldman Sachs in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Gordon v. Gallahue, et al. The complaint alleges generally that the Volcano directors breached their fiduciary duties to Volcano stockholders, and that the other defendants aided and abetted such breaches, by agreeing to sell Volcano for inadequate consideration, implementing an unfair process, agreeing to allegedly preclusive deal protections, and omitting material information from Volcano’s December 30, 2014 Schedule 14D-9. The complaint seeks, among other things, (1) an injunction prohibiting defendants from consummating the proposed transaction; (2) recission in the event the proposed transaction is consummated; (3) imposition of a constructive trust upon any benefits improperly received by defendants; and (4) attorneys’ fees and costs.

On January 9, 2015, Mohammed Munawar, an alleged stockholder of Volcano, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Munawar v. Volcano Corp., et al., against Volcano, its directors, Parent, Purchaser and Goldman Sachs. The complaint alleges generally that the Volcano directors breached their fiduciary duties to Volcano stockholders, and that the other defendants aided and abetted such breaches, by agreeing to sell Volcano for inadequate consideration, implementing an unfair process, agreeing to allegedly preclusive deal protections, and omitting material information from Volcano’s December 30, 2014 Schedule 14D-9. The complaint seeks, among other things, (1) an injunction prohibiting defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction; (2) recission or rescissory damages in the event the proposed transaction is consummated; and (3) attorneys’ fees and costs.

On January 12, 2015, plaintiffs Lax and Gordon filed motions for expedited proceedings and a preliminary injunction. Thereafter, the parties agreed to certain expedited discovery, and, between January 15 and January 19, 2015, defendants produced documents to plaintiffs. On January 16, 2015, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the lawsuits described above and appointing lead counsel for the plaintiffs. A preliminary injunction hearing is currently scheduled for January 27, 2015. We believe this litigation is without merit.”
