`ITEM 1.
`Overview
`Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead, we or us), incorporated in Delaware on June 22, 1987, is a research-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers,
`develops and commercializes innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. With each new discovery and experimental drug candidate, we seek to
`improve the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases around the world. Gilead’s primary areas of focus include human immunodeficiency virus
`(HIV)/AIDS, liver diseases such as hepatitis B and C and serious cardiovascular/metabolic and respiratory conditions. Headquartered in Foster City,
`California, we have operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. We continue to seek to add to our existing portfolio of products through our internal
`discovery and clinical development programs and through a product acquisition and in-licensing strategy.
`
`Over the past year, we executed our philosophy and strategy to bring best-in-class drugs to market. In keeping with this strategy, we completed several
`acquisitions and licensing transactions to enhance our pipeline. We also expanded our single-tablet regimen product offerings for the treatment of HIV with the
`launch of Complera/Eviplera (emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and the anticipated 2012 launch of Quad, which combines four of our
`HIV medicines in a once-daily single-tablet regimen and is pending Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
`
`Our largest transaction was the acquisition of Pharmasset, Inc. in January 2012 for $11.1 billion. For several years, we have focused a large proportion
`of our research and development effort on discovering and advancing direct-acting antivirals for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). The HCV
`therapeutic market has been and continues to be vastly underserved. Due to the limitations of available therapies, only a small fraction of individuals who are
`infected with HCV are diagnosed, and an even smaller fraction of those patients are treated. Prior to May 2011, when the first protease inhibitors were
`approved, only about half of the patients responded to the standard of care combination of pegylated interferon and ribavirin. The addition of protease
`inhibitors to the standard of care has resulted in incremental response rates for patients with genotype 1 infection; however, this regimen causes substantial
`side effects such as fatigue, bone marrow suppression, potentially debilitating rash, anemia and neuropsychiatric effects. As such, discontinuation rates with
`these triple therapy combinations have significantly increased.
`
`Over the last two years, we have progressed several early stage HCV molecules with various mechanisms of action into clinical development. During
`2011, the field of HCV research evolved rapidly, and it became clear our HCV portfolio of oral antiviral development compounds would have difficulty
`competing because it was behind the development programs of many of our competitors. Through our acquisition of Pharmasset, we gained ownership of GS-
`7977, the most advanced, and to date the most potent, nucleotide analog that acts to inhibit the replication of HCV with limited safety or resistance concerns
`detected thus far. The compound has been studied extensively in Phase 2 studies in genotype 2 and 3 infected patients in combination with ribavirin with or
`without pegylated interferon and is currently being studied in genotype 1 infected patients. The first of two Phase 3 trials, known as FISSION, evaluating GS-
`7977 in genotype 2 and 3 patients is currently enrolling. A second Phase 3 study of genotype 2 and 3 patients is scheduled to begin enrolling in the next few
`weeks. If Phase 3 data for genotype 2 and 3 patients is consistent with data from our Phase 2 trials, we would expect to file a new drug application (NDA) for
`the treatment of genotype 2 and 3 patients in 2013 for potential approval in late 2013 or early 2014.
`
`Two thirds of HCV-infected individuals in the United States and Europe are infected with HCV genotype 1. We are conducting Phase 2 studies to
`determine the efficacy of GS-7977 plus ribavirin in this population. Results from these studies will be available over the next several months. We expect the
`first data evaluating GS-7977 plus ribavirin for 12 weeks in genotype 1 treatment-naïve patients from an arm of the QUANTUM study with 25 patients will
`be available at the end of the first quarter of 2012. We expect that this will be followed in the second quarter by data from an arm of the ELECTRON study
`involving 25 treatment-naïve patients treated for 12 weeks and, early in the third quarter, data on GS-7977 and ribavirin treatment for 24 weeks from an arm
`of the QUANTUM study will become available.

`
`Table of Contents
`
`On February 17, 2012, we announced that the majority of HCV genotype 1 patients with a prior “null” response to an interferon-containing regimen
`enrolled in an arm of our ongoing ELECTRON study experienced viral relapse within four weeks of completing 12 weeks of treatment with GS-7977 plus
`ribavirin. Ten patients were randomized to this arm of the ELECTRON study and data were available for eight of the ten patients at the time of the
`announcement. Among these eight patients, six experienced viral relapse. Two patients had not relapsed; however, they had only reached the two week post-
`treatment time point. These data indicate that treatment of genotype 1 patients classified as null responders with GS-7977 plus ribavirin for 12 weeks will not
`be sufficient to cure their disease. Regulatory authorities require that patients have a sustained viral response for 12 weeks after the cessation of therapy to be
`considered “cured” of the disease.
`
`To the extent data from the ELECTRON and QUANTUM studies indicate genotype 1 treatment-naïve patients can be effectively treated using GS-7977
`and ribavirin, larger Phase 3 studies in genotype 1 patients are expected to commence in 2012. If we are able to commence Phase 3 trials on that timeline and the
`results of those trials are positive, we expect to file a NDA that includes data for genotype 1 patients in 2013 for potential approval in 2014. If GS-7977 with
`ribavirin is not sufficiently effective in treating genotype 1 treatment-naïve patients, we would need to explore combination therapy using GS-7977 and other
`direct acting antiviral compounds from our or others’ portfolios, which would delay development and approval of GS-7977 for use in genotype 1 treatment-
`naïve patients. We expect to begin clinical studies evaluating GS-7977 in combination with our GS-5885 NS5A inhibitor in genotype 1 treatment-naïve
`patients in the second quarter of 2012.
`
`See the Risk Factor entitled “The public announcement of data from clinical studies evaluating GS-7977 in HCV-infected patients is likely to cause
`significant volatility in our stock price” on page 30.

`
`Commercialization and Distribution
`We have U.S. and international commercial sales operations, with marketing subsidiaries in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
`France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
`Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
`
`Our products are marketed through our commercial teams and/or in conjunction with third-party distributors and corporate partners. Our commercial
`teams promote our products through direct field contact with physicians, hospitals, clinics and other healthcare providers. We generally grant our third-party
`distributors the exclusive right to promote our product in a territory for a specified period of time. Most of our agreements with these distributors provide for
`collaborative efforts between the distributor and Gilead in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for the product in the specified territory.
`
`We sell and distribute Atripla, Truvada, Viread, Hepsera, Complera, Emtriva, Ranexa and Vistide in the United States exclusively through the
`wholesale channel. Our product sales to three large wholesalers, Cardinal Health, Inc., McKesson Corp. and AmerisourceBergen Corp., each accounted for
`more than 10% of total revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. On a combined basis, in 2011, these wholesalers accounted
`for approximately 79% of our product sales in the United States and approximately 43% of our total worldwide revenues. Letairis and Cayston are distributed
`exclusively by specialty pharmacies. These specialty pharmacies dispense medications for complex or chronic conditions that require a high level of patient
`education and ongoing counseling. We sell and distribute Atripla, Truvada, Viread, Hepsera, Emtriva, Complera/Eviplera, and AmBisome in Asia, Australia,
`Canada, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand either through our commercial teams, third-party distributors or corporate partners.

`
`We also rely on our corporate partners to help promote and sell our products under collaboration agreements. For example, BMS has rights to promote
`Atripla in the United States. BMS also has rights to promote Atripla in a majority of the countries in Europe. In a limited number of Central and Eastern
`European countries, either Gilead, BMS or a third-party distributor is the sole promoting, selling and distributing company. Under an agreement with
`Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck), we promote and distribute Atripla in 12 countries in Latin America and Asia Pacific either through Merck or our existing third-
`party distributors. We have licensed to GSK the right to promote and sell Viread and Hepsera for the treatment of hepatitis B in certain countries outside the
`United States. We licensed the rights to manufacture and sell Tamiflu, Macugen and Lexiscan/Rapiscan worldwide to third parties, subject to our corporate
`partners’ obligation to pay us royalties based on a percentage of the sales of these products.
`
`Access in the Developing World
`Through the Gilead Access Program, established in 2003, certain of our HIV and other products are available at substantially reduced prices in 134
`countries in the developing world. We have developed a system of tiered pricing that reflects economic status, using gross national income per capita (GNI) and
`HIV prevalence. This approach allows us to price our therapies based on a country’s ability to pay.
`
`We also support many clinical studies through the donation of our products to help define the best treatment strategies in developing world countries. For
`example, we donated tenofovir for the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA) 004 microbicide trial, which assessed the
`effectiveness and the safety of a tenofovir-based microbicide gel for the prevention of HIV infection in South African women. We also provide drugs for a
`number of innovative international studies investigating whether Viread or Truvada can prevent HIV transmission among at-risk, uninfected adults. This is a
`potential HIV prevention strategy called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. In December 2011, we announced the submission of a supplemental NDA (sNDA)
`to the FDA for the approval of once-daily Truvada for PrEP to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection among uninfected adults. If the sNDA is approved, Truvada
`would be the first agent indicated for uninfected individuals to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV through sex.
`
`We also work closely with the World Health Organization and with non-governmental organizations to provide AmBisome for the treatment of
`leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease, at a preferential price in resource limited settings. We support numerous clinical studies investigating the role of AmBisome
`to treat visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in developing countries through collaborations with organizations such as the Drugs for Neglected Diseases
`initiative and Médecins Sans Frontières. We also support clinical research studies aimed at identifying the best treatment course for visceral leishmaniasis and
`donated AmBisome to support clinical studies assessing combination therapies and the cost-effectiveness of multiple visceral leishmaniasis treatment
`interventions. In December 2011, we signed a partnership agreement with World Health Organization to donate 445,000 vials of AmBisome over five years.
`This donation will be used to treat more than 50,000 patients in resource-limited countries.

`
`We have also entered into a number of collaborations related to access to our products in the developing world, which include:
` PharmaChem Technologies (Grand Bahama), Ltd (PharmaChem). In 2005, PharmaChem, one of our commercial manufacturing
`•
`partners, established a facility in The Bahamas to manufacture tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Viread and
`one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in Atripla and Truvada, for resource limited countries through a cooperative effort with PharmaChem
`and the Grand Bahama Port Authority. This partnership increases manufacturing capacity for our HIV medicines, and improve delivery
`efficiency, since the medicines are produced in or near the markets where they are needed most.
` Aspen Pharmacare Holdings Ltd (Aspen). In 2005, we entered into a non-exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with Aspen,
`providing for the manufacture and distribution of Viread and Truvada for the treatment of HIV infection to certain developing world countries
`included in our Gilead Access Program. In 2007, we amended our agreement with Aspen. Under the amended

`
`agreement, Aspen retained the right to manufacture and distribute Viread and Truvada for the treatment of HIV infection in these developing world
`countries. Aspen has the right to purchase Viread and Truvada in unlabeled bottles from us for distribution in such countries, and also has the
`right to manufacture Viread and Truvada using active pharmaceutical ingredient that has been purchased by Aspen from suppliers approved by
`us. Aspen was also granted the right to manufacture and distribute generic versions of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, including
`versions of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with emtricitabine for the treatment of HIV infection. Aspen is required to pay us
`royalties on net sales of Viread and Truvada, as well as royalties on net sales of generic versions of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, including
`versions of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with generic versions of emtricitabine that are manufactured and distributed by Aspen.
` Licenses with Generic Manufacturers. In 2006, we entered into non-exclusive license agreements with thirteen Indian generic manufacturers,
`granting them the rights to produce and distribute generic versions of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for the treatment of HIV infection to low income
`countries around the world, which includes India and many of the low income countries in our Gilead Access Program. The agreements require
`that the generic manufacturers meet certain national and international regulatory standards and include technology transfers to enable expeditious
`production of large volumes of high quality generic versions of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. In addition, these agreements allow for the
`manufacture of commercial quantities of both active pharmaceutical ingredient and finished product. In 2011, we expanded these non-exclusive
`license agreements to increase the number of countries included in the license, and also to include rights to our future pipeline products
