Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 29, 2007, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) announced that in response to a previously announced call for redemption of the remaining $51.4 million aggregate principal outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2008 (the “Notes”), 100 percent of noteholders elected to convert their notes into common stock.

Noteholders chose to convert their notes into common stock at a conversion price of approximately $14.01 per share. As a result of this transaction and the partial exchange completed in September 2006, BioMarin has issued a total of approximately 8.9 million shares of common stock. Because the noteholders elected to convert the Notes, the Company did not repay any of the Notes.
