BACKGROUND

OrbiMed Advisors LLC (“OrbiMed Advisors”) and OrbiMed Capital LLC (“OrbiMed Capital” and, together with OrbiMed Advisors, the “OrbiMed Entities”), on behalf of entities for whom they act as investment adviser or general partner, first purchased Shares in May 2001, and by February 6, 2002 had acquired approximately 3% of the outstanding Shares.

In February 2002, BioMarin announced the acquisition of Glyko Biomedical Ltd. (“Glyko”), an entity whose principal asset was its ownership of Shares of BioMarin and in which each of Gwynn R. Williams and Erich Sager, directors of BioMarin, held a significant equity interest. Following the announcement of the Glyko acquisition, Sven Borho, a partner of the OrbiMed Entities, expressed his concern regarding the proposed transaction to Frederic Price, then the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. As a result of their dissatisfaction with BioMarin, their negative view of the affiliated nature of the proposed Glyko transaction and their belief that the proposed transaction offered no economic benefit to BioMarin, the OrbiMed Entities disposed of all of the Shares which they then beneficially owned by March 2002.

In October 2003, the OrbiMed Entities re-evaluated their assessment of BioMarin in light of the significant drop in BioMarin’s stock price since 2002 and began acquiring Shares in the open market with a view towards holding those Shares as a longer term investment. By June 1, 2004, the OrbiMed Entities had purchased an aggregate of 5.02% of the outstanding Shares. The OrbiMed Entities currently control an aggregate of 8.23% of the outstanding Shares.

PRELIMINARY COPY

In the fall of 2004, Mr. Borho telephoned Pierre Lapalme, Chairman of the Board of BioMarin, and expressed his dissatisfaction with BioMarin’s performance, including its excessive burn rate and proposed financing which could dilute the value of the stock held by the existing stockholders. In late 2004, Richard B. Brewer, another stockholder of BioMarin unaffiliated with the OrbiMed Entities, contacted Mr. Borho to discuss their mutual investment in BioMarin and to solicit Mr. Borho’s view about BioMarin’s performance. Also in late 2004, BioMarin’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) contacted Mr. Brewer about the possibility of Mr. Brewer serving as Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. Mr. Brewer declined to serve as Chief Executive Officer but advised BioMarin that he would consider serving as Chairman of the Board of BioMarin.

In January 2005, the OrbiMed Entities became increasingly concerned about BioMarin’s performance and began to consider seeking to nominate directors who might be more responsive to BioMarin stockholders. On January 14, 2005, Samuel D. Isaly, the managing partner of the OrbiMed Entities, wrote to the members of the Nominating Committee and requested that the Nominating Committee recommend Mr. Brewer, Joseph Klein, III and a third individual for election as directors of BioMarin at the Annual Meeting. On January 18, 2005, Louis Drapeau, the acting Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin, confirmed that Mr. Isaly’s request had been forwarded to the Nominating Committee. Mr. Lapalme informed Mr. Isaly on January 25, 2005 that BioMarin had retained Spencer Stuart & Associates, an executive search firm (“Spencer Stuart”), to lead the search for a Chief Executive Officer and for directors. On January 31, 2005, Mr. Lapalme advised Mr. Isaly that Mr. Brewer would not be considered as a director-nominee, but that the Nominating Committee would evaluate Mr. Klein and the third individual as potential candidates.

On February 23, 2005, Messrs. Lapalme and Williams met with Mr. Isaly and discussed with Mr. Isaly the history and current situation of BioMarin. During this meeting, Mr. Isaly requested a response from Messrs. Lapalme and Williams regarding whether BioMarin would nominate Mr. Klein and the third individual for election and suggested that he was willing to submit his nominees directly to a vote of BioMarin’s stockholders. Mr. Drapeau met with Mr. Isaly on March 2, 2005 and notified him that a decision regarding the nominees was forthcoming. On March 31, 2005, Mr. Isaly participated in a conference call with Messrs. Drapeau, Lapalme and Williams. They advised Mr. Isaly that BioMarin would not nominate Mr. Brewer, but would consider nominating Mr. Klein and the third individual for election as directors at the Annual Meeting.

On April 6, 2005, Mr. Klein met with Mr. Lapalme and on April 8, 2005, Mr. Lapalme advised Mr. Isaly that the only candidate that the Nominating Committee was prepared to recommend from among the OrbiMed Entities’ proposed nominees was Mr. Klein. On April 10, 2005, Mr. Klein completed and returned to BioMarin a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire and on April 12, 2005, Mr. Klein received excerpts from BioMarin’s proxy statement and provided comments on such excerpts to BioMarin.

As a result of the events of early April, Mr. Isaly and the OrbiMed Entities determined that BioMarin was unprepared to nominate more than one of the OrbiMed Entities’ proposed nominees. The OrbiMed Entities strongly believed that in order to strengthen BioMarin and its management, BioMarin stockholders needed a stronger presence on the Board than the one nominee of the OrbiMed Entities proposed to be nominated by BioMarin, particularly because BioMarin’s By-Laws permit the Board of Directors to expand the size of the Board from seven members to nine. Accordingly, the OrbiMed Entities determined to nominate three directors for election at the Annual Meeting and to solicit proxies on behalf of their Nominees. By letter dated April 15, 2005, Caduceus Capital and Caduceus Capital II, stockholders of BioMarin who are advised by the OrbiMed Entities, formally notified BioMarin of their intention to nominate Messrs. Brewer and Klein and Alan J. Lewis as nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. Also, on April 15, 2005, Caduceus Capital and Caduceus Capital II sent a letter to BioMarin demanding access to BioMarin’s stockholder list and certain related materials in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.

PRELIMINARY COPY

On April 17, 2005, Mr. Lapalme telephoned Mr. Isaly and expressed his interest in Dr. Lewis as a director candidate. He also advised Mr. Isaly that Spencer Stuart had not yet been able to identify more suitable director candidates. On April 18, 2005, Messrs. Lapalme and Franz Cristiani, a director of BioMarin, called Mr. Isaly to inform him that the Board had discussed the Nominees and wished to have Spencer Stuart evaluate Dr. Lewis as a potential Board nominee, but that Mr. Brewer would not be nominated. They also notified Mr. Isaly that the Board was considering increasing the number of directors of BioMarin.

On April 18, 2005, Mr. Klein received an e-mail from Mr. Lapalme in which Mr. Lapalme stated that irrespective of the contested nature of the director election, BioMarin continued to welcome Mr. Klein’s participation on the Board. On April 25, 2005, Mr. Isaly telephoned Mr. Drapeau to inquire about the status of BioMarin’s response to the Caduceus Entities’ demand for access to BioMarin’s stockholder list and certain related materials. Since the April 25, 2005 phone call, neither the OrbiMed Entities nor the Nominees have had any contact with management of BioMarin.

In moving forward with their nomination of Messrs. Brewer and Klein and Dr. Lewis, the OrbiMed Entities are seeking to increase value for all stockholders of BioMarin. The OrbiMed Entities expect that the Nominees would help bring more accountability and discipline to the way BioMarin is managed. The Nominees will, if elected, constitute a minority of the Board. Accordingly, the Nominees, even if voting together, will not currently be able to adopt any measures without the support of at least some members of the current Board. Nevertheless, the Nominees will have the opportunity to articulate and raise their concerns about BioMarin’s business activities with the rest of the Board members. The OrbiMed Entities believe that the election of the Nominees alone would not constitute a change of control under BioMarin’s 3.5% convertible subordinated notes. Because the OrbiMed Entities are nominating only three of the seven directors who will be elected at the Annual Meeting, a majority of BioMarin’s nominees will, following the Annual Meeting, continue to be members of the Board.

The Nominees do not anticipate that they will have any conflicts of interest with respect to BioMarin, if elected, and recognize their fiduciary duty obligations to all Stockholders. None of the Nominees has any contract, arrangement or understanding, including without limitation any agreement regarding indemnification, with BioMarin, the Fund Entities, the OrbiMed Entities or Mr. Isaly, and no other financial interest concerning BioMarin, other than through the beneficial ownership of Shares by Messrs. Brewer and Klein disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

If any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the persons named on the enclosed BLUE proxy card will vote that proxy on such other matters in accordance with their judgment. The Participants will not use such discretionary authority to vote the proxies for matters of which the Participants are aware a reasonable time before the Annual Meeting.

VOTING PROCEDURES

According to BioMarin’s Proxy Statement, the voting procedures for the Annual Meeting are as set forth below.

The Bylaws of BioMarin provide that a majority of all the Shares entitled to vote, whether present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote and the broker does not have discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker

non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present or represented, then either the chairman of the Annual Meeting or the Stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present. At any adjourned Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after that adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned Annual Meeting, a notice of the adjourned Annual Meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned Annual Meeting.

When proxies are properly executed and returned, the Shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the Shares represented by an executed BLUE Proxy Card will be voted (i) FOR the election of the Nominees for directors and for the persons who have been nominated by BioMarin (other than Erich Sager, John Urquhart and Gwynn R. Williams) with respect to Proposal 1, and for Proposal 2 set forth herein; and (ii) FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for BioMarin for the year ending December 31, 2005. The Participants and their affiliates know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named in the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card will vote the Shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment pursuant to the discretionary authority granted in the proxy.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete the enclosed BLUE proxy and return it in the enclosed self-addressed, prepaid envelope. All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted. If you specify a choice with respect to any item by marking the appropriate box on the proxy, the Shares will be voted in accordance with that specification. IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE, THE PERSONS NAMED ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD WILL VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR RICHARD B. BREWER, JOSEPH KLEIN, III AND ALAN J. LEWIS AND FOR THE PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN NOMINATED BY BIOMARIN (OTHER THAN ERICH SAGER, JOHN URQUHART AND GWYNN R. WILLIAMS) WITH RESPECT TO PROPOSAL 1, AND FOR PROPOSAL 2.

PROXY PROCEDURES

WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF RICHARD B. BREWER, JOSEPH KLEIN, III AND ALAN J. LEWIS. IF YOU WISH TO DO SO, PLEASE MARK, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PREPAID ENVELOPE.

PRELIMINARY COPY

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Any Stockholder who has mailed a proxy card to BioMarin may revoke it before it is voted by mailing a duly executed proxy card to the Participants bearing a date LATER than the proxy card delivered to BioMarin. Proxies may also be revoked at any time prior to voting by: (i) delivering to BioMarin (Attention: G. Eric Davis, Vice President, Corporate Counsel and Assistant Secretary) a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked; (ii) delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date than the proxy delivered previously; or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Only Stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote. If you were a Stockholder of record on the Record Date, you will retain your voting rights at the Annual Meeting even if you sell such Shares after the Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the Shares held by you on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such Shares on the BLUE proxy card, even if you sell such Shares after the Record Date.

COST AND METHOD OF SOLICITATION

OrbiMed Advisors has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. (“Georgeson”) to conduct the solicitation, for which Georgeson is to receive a fee not to exceed $175,000, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses. OrbiMed Advisors has agreed to indemnify Georgeson against certain liabilities and expenses. As part of the solicitation, the OrbiMed Entities, Mr. Isaly, the Nominees and Georgeson may communicate with Stockholders of BioMarin by mail, courier services, Internet, advertising, telephone or telecopier or in person, but it is not anticipated that Stockholders will be asked to submit proxies by telephone or internet. It is anticipated that Georgeson will employ approximately 50 persons to solicit proxies from Stockholders for the Annual Meeting. The total expenditures in furtherance of, or in connection with, the solicitation of proxies is approximately $200,000 to date, and is estimated to be up to $450,000 in total.

The Fund Entities will pay all costs related to the solicitation of proxies (including expenditures for public relations and financial advisers, proxy solicitors, advertising, printing, transportation and related expenses). The Fund Entities do not intend to seek reimbursement for the costs and expenses associated with the proxy solicitation in the event that the Nominees are elected to the Board of Directors of BioMarin.
