Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

As previously reported, on March 14, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Company”) appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as the independent registered public accounting firm (“auditors”) for the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings and Investment Program (the “Plan”) for the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years and dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Plan’s auditors. On April 11, 2006, D&T resigned as the Plan’s auditors for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to potential independence concerns. D&T had not performed any audit procedures on the Plan’s financial statements prior to such date.

On May 5, 2006, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings Plan Committee reappointed PwC as the Plan’s auditors for the 2005 fiscal year. The Plan’s Form 11-K is expected to be filed in a timely manner.
