The Company changed its name from Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. to NeighborCare, Inc. on December 2, 2003, following the spin-off of Genesis HealthCare Corporation into a publicly traded company. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to report that effective December 2, 2003, Joseph A. LaNasa, III, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, resigned as a director of the Company. (1) Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any Filing Person constitutes a "person" for any purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Item 3 is hereby amended as follows: ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock which results from dividing (x) the liquidation preference of $100 per each such share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends by (y) the conversion price per share of $12.60. The conversion price reflects an adjustment from $20.33 to $12.60 in connection with the Company's spin-off of Genesis HealthCare Corporation. The exercise prices of the Options were also adjusted in connection with the spin-off, from $16.80 to $10.73 and from $20.33 to $12.99. Mr. LaNasa resigned as a director of the Company, effective December 2, 2003. ITEM 4.

The Options were granted under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan to Joseph A. LaNasa III, a managing director of Goldman Sachs.
