This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO filed on January 11, 2011, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO filed on January 19, 2011, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO filed on January 20, 2011, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO filed on January 25, 2011, Amendment No. 5 to Schedule TO filed on January 31, 2011 and Amendment No. 6 to Schedule TO filed on February 3, 2011 (which, together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitutes this “Schedule TO”). This Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Axcan Pharma Holding B.V., a private limited liability company ( besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid ) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Axcan Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), for all of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share (“Shares”), of Eurand N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Eurand”) at a price of $12.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated December 21, 2010, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) (which, together with Supplement No. 1 to the Offer to Purchase and any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related letter of transmittal (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO, the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Schedule TO.

Items 1, 4 and 11.      Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction; and Additional Information

Items 1, 4 and 11 of this Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on February 11, 2011. Based on information provided by the Depositary, 45,942,742 Shares, or approximately 95.630% of the Shares outstanding, had been validly tendered and had not been withdrawn from the Offer at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on February 11, 2011. 1,671,670 additional Shares are guaranteed to be delivered within two NASDAQ Global Market trading days, which, if added to the tendered Shares, would represent approximately 99.110% of the Shares outstanding. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and were not withdrawn from the Offer, and payment for such Shares will be made promptly in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Payment will also be made promptly for Shares validly tendered in satisfaction of guaranteed delivery procedures.

On February 11, 2011, Axcan Intermediate Holdings Inc. issued a press release announcing, among other things, the completion of the Offer and that Purchaser has commenced a Subsequent Offering Period scheduled to expire on February 28, 2011 at 12:01 a.m., New York City time. Purchaser will immediately accept for payment and promptly pay for any Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period at a price of $12.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, subject to and in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14d-11(e) under the Exchange Act. The procedures for tendering Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period are the same as those in the Offer, except that (i) the guaranteed delivery procedures may not be used during the Subsequent Offering Period and (ii) no withdrawal rights will apply to Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period and no withdrawal rights apply during the Subsequent Offering Period with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer and accepted for payment.

The press release announcing, among other things, the completion of the offer and the commencement of a Subsequent Offering Period is attached to Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(5)(E).”
