OF

MSMB CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC

IRONMAN ACQUISITION GP, LLC

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IN OPPOSITION TO

THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

COMMON STOCK TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF

ALLOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

This Proxy Statement (this “Proxy Statement”) and the enclosed BLUE proxy card are furnished by MSMB Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MSMB,” “we” or “us”), Ironman Acquisition, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Ironman”) and Ironman Acquisition GP, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Ironman (“Ironman GP”) (for convenience purposes, throughout this Proxy Statement, we sometimes refer to MSMB as the party soliciting proxies in connection herewith), in connection with MSMB’s solicitation of proxies to be used at the special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AMAG”), to be held on October 21, 2011, at Cooley LLP, located at 500 Boylston St., Boston, Massachusetts 02116 at 9:00 a.m. local time, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed BLUE proxy card are first being mailed to AMAG stockholders on or about             , 2011.

Pursuant to this Proxy Statement, MSMB is soliciting proxies from holders of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “AMAG Shares”), of AMAG, to vote “AGAINST” the proposal to approve the issuance of AMAG Shares to the stockholders of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of July 19, 2011, as amended on August 8, 2011 (as the same may be further amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among AMAG, Allos and Alamo Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAG (“Acquisition Sub”). The Merger Agreement contemplates the merger (the “Merger”) of Acquisition Sub with and into Allos, with Allos continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAG (the “Proposed Merger”).

The specific proposals we are soliciting proxies to vote “AGAINST” are (i) the proposal to approve the issuance of AMAG Shares to the stockholders of Allos in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Share Issuance Proposal”) and (ii) the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the adoption of the Share Issuance Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”), each as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by AMAG and Allos (the “AMAG/Allos Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 15, 2011. AMAG has set September 9, 2011 as the record date for determining those stockholders who will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). The principal executive offices of AMAG are located at 100 Hayden Avenue, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421.

WE ARE SOLICITING PROXIES FROM AMAG STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS—THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY—SHOULD HAVE THE

OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A CASH PREMIUM OF 25% FOR THEIR AMAG SHARES (BASED ON AMAG’S AUGUST 2, 2011 CLOSING PRICE) INSTEAD OF WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A VALUE-DESTROYING AND DILUTIVE MERGER WITH ALLOS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE ALL-CASH PROPOSED OFFER (AS DEFINED BELOW).

On August 3, 2011, MSMB publicly announced that it had made an all-cash offer to the Board of Directors of AMAG (the “Company Board”) to acquire the Company at $18.00 for each AMAG Share (the “Proposed Offer”). MSMB noted that it made the offer to provide the stockholders of the Company with an alternative that it believes is more favorable than what we consider to be a poorly-conceived proposed merger with Allos that was approved by the Company Board and will result in unacceptable dilution of AMAG’s stockholders. The decision to merge with Allos pursuant to the Merger Agreement is an example of the Company Board and management of the Company prioritizing their interests over the interests of the AMAG stockholders. For example, (i) the compensation committee of the Company Board granted Dr. Brian J. G. Pereira, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, a $100,000 increase in his base salary in 2010 and amended his employment agreement to provide for a significantly larger change of control payment despite, in the compensation committee’s own words, the Company’s management falling “well short” of meeting the performance goals set by the Company Board, (ii) Dr. Pereira and Mr. Michael Narachi, the Chairman of the Company Board, continue as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company Board, respectively, despite the fact that the Company has missed its performance goals and lost approximately 80% of the market value of the AMAG Shares over the last four years and (iii) the Company Board failed to engage MSMB regarding the Proposed Offer, leading MSMB to believe that the Company’s management and the Company Board are not prioritizing the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Company Board also demonstrated its unwillingness to protect the stockholders’ interests when it rejected MSMB’s all-cash Proposed Offer without discussing the Proposed Offer with MSMB.

Additionally, on October 8, 2011, ISS Proxy Advisory Services (“ISS”), the nation’s leading independent proxy advisory firm, announced that it recommends that its clients holding AMAG Shares vote AGAINST the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. In making its recommendation, ISS noted the massive dilution that holders of AMAG Shares would experience as a result of the Proposed Merger, commenting that, “[the Company Board] has effectively proposed that its shareholders accept 39% dilution in exchange for an asset that, based on the company’s own stand-alone financial projections, would not achieve breakeven adjusted EBIT through at least 2027.” Additionally, ISS acknowledged our contention that AMAG is wildly overpaying for Allos, stating, “The $2.44 implied offer value of AMAG [S]hares is substantially higher than the upper end of [Allos’ financial advisor’s discounted cash flow valuation] range, suggesting Allos shareholders are getting an excellent price—and AMAG shareholders may be overpaying.” Finally, ISS stated that the negative market and stockholder reaction to the announcement of the Proposed Merger and the relative weakness of Allos compared to AMAG “all argue against the [Proposed Merger] . . . a vote against the proposed transaction is warranted.”

There can be no assurance that we will commence or consummate the Proposed Offer if the matters contemplated by this Proxy Statement are rejected by the Company’s stockholders. In addition, we anticipate that if we commence the Proposed Offer, it would be subject to a number of conditions, including the termination of the Merger Agreement, receipt of all regulatory approvals, consents and waivers, waiver of the Company’s Rights Plan as it relates to the Proposed Offer and approval of the Proposed Offer by the Company Board. There are no assurances that such conditions would be satisfied if the Company’s stockholders reject the matters set forth herein. Although we do not anticipate modifying our offer price, there can also be no assurance if we proceed with the Proposed Offer that it will be at the $18.00 in cash per share price that we had previously announced. The Proposed Offer was a non-binding proposal and the persons soliciting proxies under this Proxy Statement are under no obligation to consummate an acquisition of the Company or your AMAG Shares.

We are currently negotiating with our lenders regarding the terms of the financing associated with the Proposed Offer. Although we expect to obtain financing from such lenders on terms that we deem to be commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain such financing, we would be unable to proceed with the Proposed Offer. Consequently, following a vote against the matters set forth herein, the Company may remain independent of both MSMB and Allos. The stockholders of the Company should take all of these factors into account when determining whether to grant a proxy to MSMB. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 19.

We note that the Merger Agreement may only be terminated under limited circumstances, some of which could result in the Company paying a termination fee of up to $14 million to Allos. We believe that if our nominees to the Company Board constitute a majority of the Company Board, they would have the ability to terminate the Merger Agreement following (i) the Company’s stockholders’ rejection of the Share Issuance Proposal or (ii) the Company’s acceptance of the Proposed Offer (or another similar offer) that the Company Board has determined, subject to their fiduciary duties, represents a superior offer to the Merger Agreement.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO VOTE ON OR APPROVE THE PROPOSED OFFER AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT A VOTE “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO THE COMPANY BOARD THAT AMAG’S STOCKHOLDERS REJECT WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A VALUE-DESTROYING AND DILUTIVE MERGER WITH ALLOS, AND THAT THE COMPANY BOARD SHOULD TERMINATE THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THE PROPOSED OFFER. IN ADDITION, A VOTE AGAINST THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL WILL NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED OFFER.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A PROXY CARD TO AMAG, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. ONLY YOUR LATEST-DATED PROXY COUNTS. VOTE “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE OR BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED. NO POSTAGE IS NECESSARY IF YOUR PROXY CARD IS MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES. WE URGE YOU VOTE BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE OR BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD.

IF YOUR AMAG SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET-NAME,” DELIVER THE ENCLOSED BLUE VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM TO YOUR BROKER OR BANK OR CONTACT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT TO VOTE ON YOUR BEHALF AND TO ENSURE THAT A BLUE PROXY CARD IS SUBMITTED ON YOUR BEHALF. IF YOUR BROKER OR BANK OR CONTACT PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT PROVIDES FOR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TO BE DELIVERED TO THEM BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE, INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE INCLUDED ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM.

REASONS TO VOTE “AGAINST”

THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

MSMB is soliciting proxies from the AMAG stockholders in opposition to the Proposed Merger and specifically “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal. MSMB urges all AMAG stockholders to vote “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal for the following reasons:

 

   

The leading independent proxy solicitor firm recommends that AMAG stockholders vote “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

ISS, the nation’s leading independent proxy advisory firm, met with representatives of MSMB as well as representatives of AMAG, Allos and certain significant stockholders of AMAG and Allos and determined that a vote AGAINST the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is warranted. This determination was reached based on “...evidence that AMAG may be overpaying for an asset whose potential its current owners cannot unlock without AMAG’s help” and “AMAG’s own stand-alone financial projection [that the combined company] would not achieve breakeven adjusted EBIT through at least 2027.”

 

   

A vote “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal helps to preserve your opportunity to receive the all-cash premium provided by the Proposed Offer which, if consummated, provides significantly greater value to the AMAG stockholders then the Proposed Merger.

We believe that the Proposed Offer is more attractive than the Proposed Merger because it provides greater and more certain value to the AMAG stockholders than what we believe to be a dilutive, value-destroying merger with Allos. We believe this because (i) the Proposed Merger will result in the stockholders of Allos owning 39% of the combined Company, (ii) we believe Folotyn, the sole revenue-generating asset of Allos, carries significant patent risk that could meaningfully limit its economic potential to the Company’s stockholders and (iii) we believe that management of the Company is ill-equipped to handle the Proposed Merger and the subsequent integration of Allos due to the Company’s termination of 24% of its employees in October 2010 and the Company missing its performance goals in 2010. The Proposed Offer represents a cash premium of 25% to the closing price of the AMAG Shares on August 2, 2011, and a cash premium of 29% of the closing price of the AMAG Shares on October 12, 2011.

 

   

The Proposed Merger fundamentally undervalues AMAG and overvalues Allos.

We believe that Folotyn, the sole revenue-generating asset of Allos, carries significant patent risk that could meaningfully limit its profitability to the Company and its stockholders. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration’s “Orange Book,” Folotyn’s 7-year statutory “Orphan Status” protection expires on September 24, 2016. From September 24, 2016 until 2025, Folotyn will only be protected by a “method of use” patent which does not prevent generic competitors from establishing alternative uses of Folotyn’s active ingredient. Such off-label uses could make it susceptible to generic competition, thereby effectively eroding Folotyn’s market position. If the Proposed Merger is completed, this risk could result in the Company having less than five years to generate cash from Folotyn. As set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC by AMAG and Allos on September 15, 2011, the Company and Allos would not achieve breakeven adjusted EBIT until 2027. As such AMAG stockholders may not fully recognize the full value of Folotyn. Additionally, as Allos stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Folotyn is the only product of Allos that is capable of generating revenue in the near term. Accordingly, we believe it brings little benefit to AMAG’s stockholders.

We also believe that ISS was accurate in its assessment that “Allos shareholders are getting an excellent price—and AMAG shareholders may be overpaying.” This analysis provides a fundamental reason for the holders of AMAG Shares to question whether 39% of their company is a reasonable price for Allos.

More importantly, we believe that Feraheme is the best product in its class and significantly increases the quality of life for patients that rely on it because it has the shortest administration time of any competing product

and is therefore the most convenient intravenously-administered iron replacement product on the market. Moreover, given AMAG’s public statements, we believe Feraheme has significant growth potential if its use is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a potentially broader iron deficiency anemia indication. Despite the benefits of Feraheme, it appears that AMAG’s management does not properly value AMAG or the potential future applications of Feraheme. As a result of the dilution following the merger with Allos, AMAG stockholders will experience significant value destruction.

 

   

AMAG’s stated strategic rationale for the Proposed Merger is unfounded.

Based on the applications of Feraheme and Folotyn, there are not obvious synergies between AMAG and Allos. Although Feraheme is currently approved only for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, we believe that it has the potential to be used in the future in a variety of applications which have not yet been approved. We note, however, that Feraheme is not currently primarily prescribed by oncologists and hematologists. Rather, as AMAG disclosed in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Feraheme is used largely by nephrology practices, hospitals and specifically administered by their supportive care specialists (nurses, etc.) and we believe it should be marketed as such. Contrarily, Folotyn is used solely by oncologist and hematologists. As a result, the Allos sales and marketing team will most likely not be able to successfully increase sales of Feraheme to their core customers. We further note that because oncologists typically do not treat patients with kidney disease, we believe it is unlikely that there will be much of an oncological market for Feraheme.

In order to expand and develop new markets for Feraheme, AMAG must expand its sales and distribution network in hospitals as well as into the gastroenterology, cardiology and women’s health sectors. Accordingly, the benefits that result from the Proposed Merger due to marketing synergies are likely to be minimal and will most likely be outweighed by the dilutive costs to the AMAG’s stockholders.

 

   

AMAG’s management has consistently failed to execute its strategic objectives.

Despite an increase in demand for Feraheme and favorable regulatory developments and approvals, AMAG recently withdrew its publicly-issued guidance on its performance and the anticipated sales of Feraheme. In addition, according to the compensation committee of the Company Board, management of the Company has performed “well short” of expectations. As a result of their failure to achieve the Company’s goals, AMAG’s management has demonstrated an inability to execute its strategic objectives. To compound this deficiency, AMAG’s management has frequently attempted to change its strategy and in October 2010 terminated 24% of the Company’s employees. Given the Company management’s failure to effectively commercialize a single product, we believe it is prudent and appropriate for AMAG’s stockholders to question management’s ability to effectively manage two products following the Merger.

Folotyn, the sole revenue-generating asset of Allos, has also failed to achieve its potential. To that end, ISS noted this weakness in its recommendation to vote AGAINST the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, stating that, “[Folotyn is] an asset whose potential its current owners cannot unlock without AMAG’s help.” Given AMAG’s struggles with commercializing Feraheme, it is unlikely that the management of AMAG will be able to successfully market both drugs. If the Proposed Merger occurs and AMAG’s management fails to properly market Feraheme and Folotyn, we believe that the resulting risk to stockholder value will be significant.

 

   

AMAG’s management is unprepared to handle the integration of Allos.

The Proposed Merger contemplates a complex integration of Allos and AMAG which we believe AMAG’s management is ill-equipped to handle. AMAG’s management has no prior experience integrating companies of this size and complexity. Such a lack of experience will further increase the substantial risks to AMAG’s stockholders.

 

   

Cost-cutting initiatives are likely to be more difficult than advertised.

Table of Contents

AMAG’s management has told stockholders that the Merger will result in annual cost-cutting due to strategic synergies with Allos of “$55-60 million”. Even if such strategic synergies exist, cost-cutting is a difficult and time-consuming task. This challenge is further compounded due to the significant marketing and development attention that must be allocated to Feraheme and Folotyn. According to statements by both AMAG and Allos, neither medication is performing as well as expected and cost reduction initiatives could further hurt the development of the various products. According to statements by AMAG and Allos, the combined company is contemplating a planned reduction of approximately 40% of its sales force. It is unclear to us how their combined sales efforts will improve following such a significant reduction of the sales force. Furthermore, cost reduction initiatives have historically resulted in decreased job security for employees, which may cause the sales force to lose focus and physicians to lose confidence in the product as a result of sales force disruption. AMAG’s management has not historically demonstrated that it has the ability to execute difficult strategies. As a result, AMAG’s stockholders should not trust management to handle this difficult task.

BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICITATION

MSMB is an investment firm focused on global healthcare and biotechnology opportunities and long-term investments. MSMB identifies and pursues investments in both private and public markets. MSMB identifies investment opportunities and seeks to maximize value and create opportunities. Based on information obtained from Bloomberg, the trading price of the Common Stock decreased from $60.11 to $35.85 in 2008 (a 40% decrease), from $38.39 to $18.10 in 2010 (a 53% decrease), from $18.09 on January 3, 2011 to $14.76 on September 30, 2011 (a 19% decrease) and has suffered an aggregate decline from $71.34 on April 12, 2007 to $14.76 on September 30, 2011, a decrease of 79%. MSMB has believed for several years that this decline has been a result of the Company’s lack of strategic direction and the Company’s failure to properly market its product. MSMB became particularly alarmed when the Company announced the execution of a Merger Agreement with Allos. MSMB, like many in the investment community, views the proposed merger as poorly conceived and destructive to stockholder value.

On August 2, 2011, MSMB delivered a non-binding proposal to the Company Board in which MSMB (i) proposed to acquire all of the AMAG Shares it does not own for $18.00 per share in cash, representing a 25% premium to the closing price of the AMAG Shares on August 2, 2011 of $13.93, (ii) stated that it would consider revising its $18.00 per share offer price if additional value was found in the course of due diligence of non-public documents and (iii) expressed its opposition to the Company’s proposed merger with Allos. MSMB stated in the letter its belief that the $18.00 per share offer price was compelling given what we believe was the market’s poor reception to the Company’s proposed merger with Allos (as evidenced by a 14% decline in the value of AMAG Shares on the date the Merger Agreement was announced) and what we believe to be the superior economics of MSMB’s offer (a 25% all-cash premium to the closing price of the AMAG Shares on August 2, 2011, the last trading day before we announced the delivery of the Proposed Offer). The letter also highlighted that MSMB’s proposed transaction was not subject to any financing condition and that MSMB was prepared to move quickly to execute definitive documentation. Additionally, the letter stated that MSMB believed that the Company Board should find MSMB’s offer to be more favorable from a financial point of view than the proposed transaction with Allos, particularly in light of the Proposed Offer’s premium consideration compared to the risk associated with absorbing Allos. Finally, The letter noted the market’s tepid reaction reflected AMAG’s stockholders’ view that the Proposed Merger was likely to result in an erosion of stockholder value. The letter reads as follows:

August 2, 2011

The Board of Directors

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

100 Hayden Avenue

Lexington, Massachusetts 02421

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of MSMB Capital Management (“MSMB”), of which I am the Chief Investment Officer, I am writing to express my surprise and disappointment about the at-market transaction that Amag Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) recently entered into with Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”). I am also writing to offer that MSMB acquire the Company in a transaction beneficial to all of the stockholders and stakeholders of the Company. MSMB is a long-term stockholder of the Company and believes that neither the Company nor its other stockholders are benefiting from the proposed transaction with Allos. Due to this belief, MSMB is prepared to offer the Company’s other stockholders an alternative that provides immediate liquidity.

We do not understand the Company’s motivation in entering into a business combination transaction that does not provide stockholders with a premium or a liquidity alternative. Given the market conditions for the Company’s stock, we are willing to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, other than those owned by us, at a price of $18 per share in cash. This proposal represents a 25% premium to the closing price on August 2, 2011. The Company’s common stock has not reacted positively to the

Table of Contents

proposed transaction with Allos and the offer from MSMB provides the Company’s stockholders a viable alternative to this poorly viewed transaction. More importantly, MSMB’s offer provides liquidity and superior economics to the Company’s stockholders. We strongly believe that the Company’s Board of Directors should find our offer to be more favorable from a financial point of view than the proposed transaction with Allos.

Due to the significant value that MSMB believes the Company represents, MSMB could be prepared to increase the price per share mentioned above if (a) it is allowed time and access in order to conduct due diligence and that due diligence validates certain understandings about the Company and its prospects and (b) MSMB is able to negotiate a definitive acquisition agreement containing customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. MSMB is prepared to begin the due diligence process immediately. We believe the support of the Company’s senior management is important to the success of the Company and hope to work with them through this process and following the consummation of a transaction.

While our offer is subject to customary closing conditions and a cursory due diligence period, it is not subject to any financing condition. Our proposal is contingent on the Company entering into a definitive agreement with MSMB prior to September 1, 2011.

It is imperative that the Company be sold now, the transaction with Allos terminated and further erosion of stockholder value be prevented. The proposal outlined above adheres to a clear timeline, provides stockholders with a price no less than $18 per share, and allows for a higher price if one is warranted. Our offer is compelling and provides the Company’s stockholders an immediate and certain path to a premium, all-cash transaction that will eliminate the risk associated with the Allos transaction as well as the risk of future value destruction.

It is our strong preference to work together immediately to negotiate a definitive merger agreement. From our perspective, the benefits to your employees and stockholders should provide a meaningful impetus for you to seriously investigate this opportunity. Nonetheless, if you choose not to engage with us, we are prepared to proceed promptly with an offer directly to your stockholders. We and our counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, are available immediately to discuss the terms of our proposal and to negotiate a definitive agreement with the Company. We hope to receive a favorable response from you promptly and we are confident that, with the Company’s cooperation, we can quickly reach a definitive agreement.

We look forward to discussing the above with you at your earliest convenience. We request a response from you to our proposal by 5:00 p.m. on August 15, 2011. If you do not respond by that time, we reserve the right to take whatever steps we deem necessary to preserve and maximize stockholder value. It is our strong preference to negotiate a transaction that has the support of your Board of Directors. Given the clear superiority of our offer to the proposed Allos transaction, we would like to meet with you and your advisors as soon as possible to finalize a definitive agreement.

This letter is not intended to create or reflect any legally binding obligation by us regarding the proposed transaction and no such obligation shall arise unless and until a mutually acceptable definitive agreement is executed.

 

Sincerely,

/s/    Martin Shkreli        

Martin Shkreli

On August 3, 2011, MSMB issued a press release announcing the delivery of its letter to the Company Board and its proposal to acquire the Company for $18.00 per share in cash.

On August 8, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, the Company Board had determined that MSMB’s offer was not reasonably expected to result

in a superior offer to the merger with Allos. Prior to making such determination, neither the Company Board, nor any of its advisors, had any contact with MSMB or any of its advisors.

Between August 15, 2011 and September 20, 2011, MSMB, with its advisors, discussed possible candidates for nomination for election as directors of the Company in connection with a possible consent solicitation process, and arrived at a list of over a dozen candidates, focusing upon identifying a slate of nominees that had extensive experience in, and knowledge of, the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Cornelius Golding was recommended as a candidate by a representative of MSMB’s legal counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, and had no prior or ongoing relationships or agreements with MSMB. Each of William Ashton, Peter Rheinstein and Steven Richardson were known to one or more MSMB executives by virtue of their professional expertise and associations, but had no prior or ongoing relationships or agreements with MSMB.

The letter reads as follows:

October 7, 2011

The Board of Directors

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

100 Hayden Avenue

Lexington, Massachusetts 02421

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MSMB Capital Management beneficially owns approximately 5.85% of the outstanding shares of AMAG’s common stock, intends to acquire more shares and will vote every share it owns against the ill-conceived merger of AMAG and Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”). We are also urging our follow stockholders to vote AGAINST the merger with Allos.

We have come to our conclusion regarding the merger after reviewing the proposed valuation of Allos and the stated merits of the transaction. We urge The Board of Directors of AMAG as well as our fellow stockholders to read the article entitled “Amag-Allos: Worst Bio-Merger in History”, by Adam Feuerstein, published on TheStreet.com on July 20, 2011, as well as the Citigroup Investment Research Report entitled “AMAG: The Difference Between Fiction and Reality? Fiction has to Make Sense”, published on October 4, 2011. Both of these reports further demonstrates the skepticism that surrounds this proposed merger and the reasons that it is bad for AMAG and its stockholders.

In its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, AMAG contends that Folotyn is under patent protection until 2026. However, Folotyn’s orphan status expires in 2016 and we believe that it is unlikely that Folotyn’s 6,028,071 and 7,622,470 patents will adequately protect it from generic competition. Folotyn’s 6,028,071 and 7,622,470 patents are “method of use” patents and are widely considered to be less robust than “composition of matter” patents. Folotyn is currently protected by orphan status because its composition of matter patent previously expired. The Folotyn “method of use” patent is based on the novelty of using an antifolate to treat cancer and that concept is of questionable inventive ingenuity. Scientists, oncologists and pharmaceutical manufacturers have long known that antifolates are generally potent anticancer compounds, and pralatrexate (Folotyn) is a traditional antifolate. Accordingly, seasoned pharmaceutical investors believe that relying on a “method of use” patent is risky because many of such patents do not withstand legal challenge.

Although AMAG and Allos claim that the combined entity may break-even in 2013 and generate full-year profits in 2014, AMAG stockholders may only benefit from Folotyn’s orphan status (and enhanced cash flows) for a period as short as three years before Folotyn generics enter the market. We believe that due to this patent risk, it is inappropriate and unacceptable to pay the Allos stockholders 39% of the stock of AMAG. Unlike Folotyn, Feraheme, AMAG’s key product, has long-term patent protection that includes

barriers to manufacturing and characterization. Due to the poorly-conceived merger with Allos and other missteps described herein, we believe that all stockholders should vote against the merger and that AMAG’s board of directors and management team must be disarmed and replaced with competent leadership that will act in the interests of AMAG’s stockholders.

The key decision makers at AMAG are unable to create stockholder wealth and have a history of destroying stockholder value. Mr. Narachi, the Chairman of the Board of AMAG, is also the Chief Executive Officer of Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc. and through this role has presided over the approximately 74% year-to-date decline in Orexigen’s stock price. Dr. Pereira has been the Chief Executive Officer of AMAG during its staggering 80% peak-to-date decline in stock price. We are disappointed that stockholders have permitted these two men to be the key decision makers for these companies and is shocked that Mr. Narachi and Dr. Pereira believe they are qualified to lead AMAG. The combination of these men is a toxic cocktail of mismanagement that must be removed or diluted before AMAG loses all of its remaining value. Indeed, AMAG’s common stock is, as of today, trading close to cash value, an ominous view by the market of AMAG’s future under current management.

We are also concerned that the Board of Directors of AMAG has demonstrated repeated faith in Dr. Pereira and his management despite the fact that in October 2010 AMAG was forced to terminate 24% of its employees. Even more surprising was the fact that the Compensation Committee of AMAG granted Dr. Pereira a $100,000 increase in his base salary in 2010 and amended his employment agreement to provide for a significantly larger change of control payment despite the Compensation Committee stating in AMAG’s proxy that the Company’s management was “well short” of meeting the performance goals set by the Board of Directors.

Most troubling to us is the fact that neither Dr. Pereira nor Mr. Narachi own a significant stake in the stockholders’ company. Dr. Pereira has “gotten rich” on the AMAG stock that he sold at the height of the market and the salary that he received while destroying AMAG’s trading value. According to AMAG’s proxy, he currently owns 357,864 shares, of which 352,864 shares are in the form of options. Therefore, Dr. Pereira basically owns 5,000 shares of the stockholders’ company. A CEO who is aligned with his stockholders should own more than .02% of a company. Further compounding the problem is that Dr. Narachi has 40,984 options and Restricted Stock Units, but owns 0 shares of AMAG stock. However, in 2010 AMAG and its stockholders paid Mr. Narachi $67,500 and assorted stock and option awards.

We believe that it is fundamentally wrong for the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board to own a fraction of one percent of AMAG in the aggregate. We also believe that it is inappropriate to empower such people to overpay the Allos stockholders for a declining drug and supervise the loss of approximately 80% of stockholder value over the past four years.

On August 1 and 2, 2011, we attempted to contact Dr. Pereira and AMAG in advance of submitting our offer. Furthermore, on August 3, 2011, after submitting our offer, we and our representatives attempted to contact Dr. Pereira as well as AMAG’s financial and legal advisors in order to discuss our proposed offer. However, Dr. Pereira and AMAG’s financial and legal advisors ignored or rebuffed our overtures. Notwithstanding our and our advisors’ efforts, AMAG’s board of directors and its advisors granted us a total of 0 minutes to explain our source of financing, to discern our level of interest in AMAG or to investigate our ability to raise our bid should we and our representatives be granted a limited due diligence period and other customary provisions. We view AMAG’s board of directors and its advisors as reckless in this regard. Unfortunately, these actions are not surprising considering the destruction of stockholder value that has occurred at companies managed by Mr. Narachi and Dr. Pereira.

We are committed to completing our proposed $18 per share all cash transaction and accordingly are encouraging all of AMAG’s stockholders to vote AGAINST the Allos merger. We urge the Board of Directors of AMAG to acknowledge the obvious flaws in the proposed merger with Allos and to proceed in a manner that is in the interests of the stockholders of AMAG.

On October 11, 2011, MSMB issued a press release announcing ISS’s recommendation that its clients vote against the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. MSMB also reiterated its opposition to both proposals in such press release.

The Company Board has not engaged with MSMB on the Proposed Offer or allowed MSMB to undertake any non-public due diligence of the Company. MSMB therefore on October     , 2011 filed this Proxy Statement with the SEC with respect to soliciting votes against the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Table of Contents

not approve the Share Issuance Proposal at the special meeting of AMAG stockholders and AMAG is not then obligated to pay the $14 million termination fee described above, provided that any such payment of expenses would be credited against any subsequently due $14 million termination fee described above, if any.

Allos is obligated to pay a termination fee or alternative termination fee to AMAG, and to reimburse expenses to AMAG, under similar circumstances relating to Allos and Allos’ stockholders.

Except as set forth above, AMAG and Allos will pay their own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger, except that AMAG and Allos will share equally all fees and expenses in relation to the printing, filing and distribution of the AMAG/Allos Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any filing fees in connection with the Proposed Merger pursuant to any antitrust or competition law except, in each case, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses.

There can be no assurance that we will commence or consummate the Proposed Offer if the matters contemplated by this Proxy Statement are approved by the Company’s stockholders. In addition, we anticipate that if we commence the Proposed Offer, it would be subject to a number of conditions, including the termination of the Merger Agreement, receipt of all regulatory approvals, consents and waivers, waiver of the Company’s Rights Plan as it relates to the Proposed Offer and approval of the Proposed Offer by the Company Board. There are no assurances that such conditions would be satisfied if the Company’s stockholders vote for the matters set forth herein. Although we do not anticipate modifying our offer price, there can also be no assurance if we proceed with the Proposed Offer that it will be at the $18.00 in cash per share price that we had previously announced. The Proposed Offer was a non-binding proposal and the persons soliciting proxies under this Proxy Statement are under no obligation to consummate an acquisition of the Company or your AMAG Shares. We are currently negotiating with our lenders regarding the terms of the financing associated with the Proposed Offer. Although we expect to obtain financing from such lenders on terms that we deem to be commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain such financing, we would be unable to proceed with the Proposed Offer. Consequently, following a vote against the matters set forth herein, the Company may remain independent of both MSMB and Allos. The stockholders of the Company should take all of these factors into account when determining whether to grant a proxy to MSMB. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 19.

WE ARE SOLICITING PROXIES FROM AMAG STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS—THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY—SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A CASH PREMIUM OF 25% FOR THEIR AMAG SHARES (BASED ON AMAG’S AUGUST 2, 2011 CLOSING PRICE) INSTEAD OF WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A VALUE-DESTROYING AND DILUTIVE MERGER WITH ALLOS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE ALL-CASH PROPOSED OFFER.

OTHER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING

In addition to soliciting proxies for the Share Issuance Proposal, the AMAG Board is also soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting for the Adjournment Proposal.

Because the Adjournment Proposal is designed to facilitate the approval of the Proposed Merger and the approval of the Share Issuance Proposal, MSMB recommends voting “AGAINST” the Adjournment Proposal.

YOU CAN CAST YOUR VOTE WITH RESPECT TO ALL PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING ON OUR BLUE PROXY CARD. WE URGE YOU NOT TO RETURN ANY PROXY CARD THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM AMAG.

Other than as set forth above, MSMB is not currently aware of any other proposals to be brought before the Special Meeting. Should other proposals be brought before the Special Meeting, the persons named on the BLUE proxy card will abstain from voting on such proposals unless such proposals adversely affect the interests of MSMB as determined by MSMB in its sole discretion, in which event such persons will vote on such proposals in their discretion.

VOTING PROCEDURES

According to the AMAG/Allos Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as of the Record Date, there were 21,202,959 AMAG Shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Under AMAG’s bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the AMAG Shares outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Once an AMAG Share is represented at the Special Meeting, it will be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum at the Special Meeting and any adjournment of the Special Meeting. However, if a new Record Date is set for the adjourned Special Meeting, then a new quorum will have to be established. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, it is expected that the Special Meeting will be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is approved.

The approval of the Share Issuance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the AMAG Shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy at the AMAG Special Meeting.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if necessary, to solicit proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the Issuance Proposal, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the AMAG Shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

AMAG stockholders may adjourn the Special Meeting to another time or place without further notice unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which case a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each AMAG stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

If an AMAG stockholder submits a proxy card and affirmatively elects to abstain from voting, that proxy will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the Special Meeting, but will not be voted at the Special Meeting. As a result, such abstention will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

In accordance with NASDAQ rules, brokers, banks, custodians, nominees and other record holders who hold AMAG Shares in street name for customers may not exercise their voting discretion with respect to the Share Issuance Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. If a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of AMAG Shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own AMAG Shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted with respect to each of the proposals. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have no effect in determining whether the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved.

AMAG stockholders may abstain from voting on any or all of the proposals or may vote for or against any or all of the proposals by internet or telephone or by marking the proper box on the BLUE proxy card and signing, dating and returning it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If a AMAG stockholder returns a BLUE proxy card that is signed, dated and not marked with respect to a proposal, that stockholder will be deemed to have voted “AGAINST” the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

If a AMAG stockholder returns a BLUE proxy card that is signed and dated but not marked with respect to any proposal unrelated to the Proposed Merger, we will vote to “ABSTAIN” unless such proposal adversely affect the interests of MSMB as determined by MSMB in its sole discretion, in which event such persons will vote on such proposals in their discretion.

Only AMAG stockholders (or their duly appointed proxies) of record on the Record Date are eligible to vote in person or submit a proxy.

Proxies will be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, the internet, e-mail, newspapers and other publications of general distribution and in person.

Ironman has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated as a solicitor for consent solicitation and proxy contest services for a fee not to exceed $350,000 in the aggregate, plus if Innisfree M&A Incorporated is requested to make calls to or receive calls from individual retail investors, Ironman will pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated customary fees for such calls. Ironman has agreed to pay, advance funds for or reimburse Innisfree M&A Incorporated for its reasonable expenses and fees and, subject to certain terms and conditions, to indemnify Innisfree M&A Incorporated against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising out or relating to the rendering of such services by Innisfree M&A Incorporated or related services requested by Ironman. It is anticipated that approximately 30 people will be employed by Innisfree M&A Incorporated in connection with the solicitation of proxies in accordance with this Proxy Statement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MSMB urges you to read this entire Proxy Statement carefully. This Proxy Statement may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the words “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue” and variations or similar expressions.

You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC.

OTHER INFORMATION

The information concerning AMAG and the Proposed Merger contained herein (including Schedule II) has been taken from, or is based upon, publicly available documents on file with the SEC and other publicly available information. Although MSMB has no knowledge that would indicate that statements relating to AMAG or the Merger Agreement contained in this Proxy Statement, in reliance upon publicly available information, are inaccurate or incomplete, to date it has not had access to the books and records of AMAG, was not involved in the preparation of such information and statements and is not in a position to verify any such information or statements. See Schedule II for information regarding persons who beneficially own more than 5% of the AMAG Shares and the ownership of the AMAG Shares by the directors and officers of AMAG.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reference is made to the AMAG/Allos Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for information concerning the Merger Agreement, the Proposed Merger, the proposed combination of Allos and AMAG, the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting, the AMAG Shares, other information concerning AMAG’s management, the procedures for submitting proposals for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders of AMAG and certain other matters regarding AMAG and the Special Meeting.

Although there can be no assurance that we will commence the Proposed Offer, we anticipate that if we did commence the Proposed Offer, it would be subject to a number of conditions, including the termination of the Merger Agreement, receipt of all regulatory approvals, consents and waivers, waiver of AMAG Rights Plan as it relates to the Proposed Offer and approval of the Proposed Offer by the Company Board. There are no assurances that such conditions would be satisfied if AMAG stockholders reject the Proposed Merger. Consequently, following a rejection of the Proposed Merger, AMAG may remain independent of both MSMB and Allos. AMAG stockholders should take all of these factors into account when determining how to vote their AMAG Shares.

THIS PROXY STATEMENT RELATES SOLELY TO THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED MERGER AND DOES NOT RELATE TO THE PROPOSED OFFER. THE PROPOSED OFFER WILL BE MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF AN SEC-FILED DOCUMENT WHICH WOULD BE SEPARATELY MAILED TO AMAG STOCKHOLDERS.

WE URGE YOU NOT TO RETURN ANY PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVE FROM AMAG—EVEN AS A PROTEST VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSED MERGER. EVEN IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAVE SUBMITTED A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY AMAG, IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE OR SIMPLY BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD. WE URGE YOU VOTE BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE OR BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD TO US TODAY.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO VOTE ON OR APPROVE THE PROPOSED OFFER AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT A VOTE “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO THE COMPANY BOARD THAT AMAG’S STOCKHOLDERS REJECT WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A VALUE-DESTROYING AND DILUTIVE MERGER WITH ALLOS, AND THAT THE COMPANY BOARD SHOULD TERMINATE THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THE PROPOSED OFFER. IN ADDITION, A VOTE AGAINST THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL WILL NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED OFFER.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU INTEND TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING, YOUR PROMPT ACTION IS IMPORTANT. MAKE YOUR VIEWS CLEAR TO THE COMPANY BOARD BY VOTING “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE OR BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD TODAY. A VOTE AGAINST THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL WILL NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO ACCEPT PROPOSED OFFER.

IF A AMAG STOCKHOLDER RETURNS A BLUE PROXY CARD THAT IS SIGNED, DATED AND NOT MARKED WITH RESPECT TO A PROPOSAL, THAT STOCKHOLDER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE VOTED “AGAINST” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL BECAUSE THESE PROPOSALS RELATE TO THE PROPOSED MERGER WHICH WE OPPOSE.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
