Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.


Each of the Reporting Persons purchased their shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock for investment purposes. Each of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock from time to time, in open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, and may sell any or all of such shares of Common Stock at any time.


On May 29, 2007, Bioenvision announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Genzyme Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Genzyme”) and Wichita Bio Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Purchaser will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and all of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of Bioenvision at a purchase price of $5.60 per share of Common Stock.  The Reporting Persons do not believe that the purchase price adequately values Bioenvision.  Consequently, based on the currently available information and terms, the Reporting Persons intend at this time not to tender their shares in connection with such transaction and not to vote in favor of such transaction if such vote is requested.


On May 29, 2007, SCO delivered a letter to Bioenvision’s board of directors outlining its objections to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference.

On July 3, 2007, SCO delivered a fourth letter to Bioenvision’s board of directors providing further detail as to its objections to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit E and is incorporated herein by reference.


Other than as set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Item 4, each of the Reporting Persons does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters enumerated in clauses (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, namely: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

These securities in the aggregate represent beneficial ownership of 13.4% of the outstanding Common Stock of Bioenvision as of May 3, 2007 (as set forth in its Form 10-Q filed on May 9, 2007).  In his capacity as Chairman and managing member of SCO and in his capacity as managing member of the entity that serves as general partner of SCO LP, Mr. Rouhandeh may be deemed beneficially to own the 6,807,297 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 170,092 shares of Common Stock owned directly by SCO and SCO LP.


(b)

As a trustee of each Trust, Mr. Rouhandeh has shared power with his brother and spouse to vote 231,942 shares of Common Stock held by the Trusts.  Mr. Rouhandeh, in his capacity as Chairman and managing member of SCO and in his capacity as managing member of the entity that serves as general partner of SCO LP, has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 6,807,297 shares of Common Stock owned by SCO and SCO LP and, upon conversion of warrants, Mr. Rouhandeh has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of an additional 170,092 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants owned by SCO.   SCO, SCO LP and SCO Securities disclaim beneficial ownership of the warrants held by the Trusts.
