**THIS FILING IS IDENTICAL TO THE FILING MADE ON NOVEMBER 21, 2O02 (ACCESSION
NUMBER 0000950157-02-000796). THIS FILING IS BEING MADE TODAY FOR THE SOLE
PURPOSE OF CORRECTLY INDEXING THE FILING TO H. LUNDBECK A/S'S APPROPRIATE

Please note that the merger described in the teleconference is contingent on
approval by the Synaptic stockholders, regulatory approvals and other
customary closing conditions, including obtaining Hart-Scott-Rodino approval.

Synaptic is a pioneer in the development of pharmaceuticals that target G
protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to achieve superior efficacy and safety in
the treatment of disorders such as depression, diabetes, obesity, pain and
incontinence. As of November 21, 2002, Synaptic is collaborating with
Grunenthal GmbH on discovering compounds for the alleviation of pain and with
Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to identify novel G protein- coupled receptors
that can provide new drug discovery targets for Kissei. Glaxo Group Limited,
Eli Lilly and Company, Novartis Pharma A.G. and Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited
have also been granted licenses by Synaptic.

H. Lundbeck A/S is an international pharmaceutical company engaged in the
research and development, production, marketing and sale of drugs for the
treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. In 2001, the Company's
revenue was DKK 7.7 billion. The number of employees is approx. 4,800.

management's current expectations concerning certain future events and
results. These are, of course, subject to uncertainty, and actual results may

some of the expectations are based upon assumptions about future events, which
may turn out to be incorrect.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Stockholders of Synaptic are urged to read the proxy statement that Synaptic
will file on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
