On November 20, 2019, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“Bristol-Myers Squibb”) completed its acquisition of Celgene. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 2, 2019, among Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene and Burgundy Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Celgene (the “Merger”), with Celgene surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than excluded stock and dissenting stock) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) $50.00 in cash without interest thereon, (ii) one share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Bristol-Myers Squibb and (iii) one contingent value right, and (b) equity awards relating to Common Stock were treated in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Merger, Celgene has terminated any and all of the offerings of Celgene’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. Celgene hereby removes from registration any and all of the securities of Celgene registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of each of the Registration Statements.
