Remarks:
(1) On July 27, 2005, the previously announced offer to purchase (the "Offer") all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value

$0.02 per share ("Shares") of NeighborCare, Inc. ("NeighborCare") for $34.75 per Share in cash by Nectarine Acquisition Corp. ("Purchaser"), a 

wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare"), expired.  On July 28, 2005, pursuant to the Offer, Purchaser accepted for Payment 42,897,600

Shares, which constituted approximately 97.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares.  On July 28, 2005, Purchaser was merged with and into

NeighborCare, Inc. (the "Merger"), pursuant to which each outstanding Share (other than Shares held by Omnicare, Purchaser or any other subsidiary

of Omnicare, Shares held by any subsidiary of NeighborCare and Shares held by any shareholder who has perfected his appraisal rights pursuant to

Subchapter 15D and Section 1930 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended) was converted into the right to receive $34.75 per

Share in cash and each outstanding Share held by Omnicare, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Omnicare was cancelled and no payment made with

respect thereto.  Also, pursuant to the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Purchaser, no par value per share, was

converted into one share of common stock of the surviving corporation, par value $0.02 per share.  As a result of the Merger, NeighborCare became a

direct wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicare, and Purchaser ceased to exist.  NeighborCare has filed a Form 15 to terminate registration of the Shares

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
