NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Business

Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global biotechnology medicines company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets medicines for grievous illnesses. We concentrate on innovating novel medicines based on advances in cellular and molecular biology, and we operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.

Basis of presentation

The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), which Amgen considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated results of operations for those periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amgen as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any significant interests in any variable interest entities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $6.2 billion and $5.8 billion as of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Comprehensive income

In January 2012, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires additional disclosures for comprehensive income. As permitted under this standard, we have elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of a statement of income followed by a separate statement of comprehensive income. This standard was required to be applied retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012, except for certain provisions for which adoption was delayed.

Cost savings initiatives

Included in Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are charges for certain cost savings initiatives of $69 million and $70 million, respectively.

2. Business combinations

Micromet, Inc.

On March 7, 2012, we acquired Micromet, Inc. (Micromet), a publicly held biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative antibody-based therapies for the treatment of cancer, that became a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen. This transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to further expand our oncology pipeline. Micromet’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

The consideration to acquire Micromet totaled $1,146 million in cash which was allocated to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in millions):

Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
In-process research and development (IPR&D)	$	440
Contract assets		170
Finite-lived intangible assets — Developed technology		350
Goodwill		330
Cash and marketable securities		154
Deferred tax assets		43
Deferred tax liabilities		(317	)
Other assets (liabilities), net		(24	)
Total consideration	$	1,146

The estimated fair value of acquired IPR&D is related to blinatumomab which is in phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The estimated fair value was determined using a probability-weighted income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset. The projected cash flows from blinatumomab were based on certain assumptions, including estimates of future revenues and expenses, the time and resources needed to complete development and the probabilities of obtaining marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies. IPR&D intangible assets acquired in a business combination are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development (R&D) efforts.

The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of development and commercialization of blinatumomab include our ability to confirm its safety and efficacy based on data from clinical trials, our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and our ability to successfully complete these tasks within budgeted costs. We are not permitted to market a human therapeutic without obtaining regulatory approvals, and such approvals require completing clinical trials that demonstrate a product candidate is safe and effective. Consequently, the eventual realized value of the acquired IPR&D may vary from its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimated incremental R&D costs to be incurred to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for blinatumomab are not material in any given year.

Contract assets represent the aggregate estimated fair values of receiving future milestone and royalty payments associated with various outlicensing arrangements entered into by Micromet prior to our acquisition of this company. The fair values of these contracts were determined by estimating the probability-weighted net cash flows associated with the agreements that may be received from the other parties discounted to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value these intangible assets. These contract assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and their assigned values will be expensed when the related revenues are earned or the associated R&D efforts are abandoned by the licensees.

The developed technology acquired relates to Micromet’s bi-specific T-cell engager technology platform which has produced various product candidates that are currently being developed as cancer treatments by Micromet and others and may lead to the development of additional product candidates. The fair value of this technology was determined by estimating the probability-weighted net cash flows attributable to this technology discounted to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset. The fair value of this technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

The excess of the acquisition date consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of $330 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was revised by $38 million during the

6

three months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to the recognition of $43 million in deferred tax assets related to the adjustment of tax attributes acquired. Goodwill is attributable primarily to expected synergies and other benefits from combining Micromet with our oncology development and commercialization activities and the deferred tax consequences of indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets recorded for financial statement purposes.

Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of our analysis to determine the acquisition date fair values of certain liabilities assumed and tax related items acquired.

Mustafa Nevzat Pharmaceuticals

On June 12, 2012, we acquired 99.4% of the outstanding stock of Mustafa Nevzat Pharmaceuticals (MN), a privately held company that is a leading supplier of pharmaceuticals to the hospital sector and a major supplier of injectable medicines in Turkey. This transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with the opportunity to expand our presence in Turkey and the surrounding region. MN’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

The consideration to acquire MN totaled $677 million in cash which was allocated to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in millions):

Finite-lived intangible assets	$	163
Property, plant and equipment		100
Trade receivables		79
Inventories		52
Goodwill		370
Deferred tax liabilities		(41	)
Other assets (liabilities), net		(46	)
Total consideration	$	677

The finite-lived intangible assets acquired are related primarily to the fair values of MN’s regulatory approvals and customer relationships with regard to the marketing of pharmaceutical products and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The weighted average useful life of these intangible assets is eight years.

The excess of the acquisition date consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of $370 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributable primarily to MN’s expected continued commercial presence in Turkey and other benefits.

Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of our analysis to determine the acquisition date fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain tax related items and residual goodwill.

Pro forma supplemental consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, that assume the acquisitions of Micromet and MN occurred on January 1, 2011, are not provided because those results would not be materially different from our reported consolidated results of operations.

In addition to the increase in goodwill for the acquisitions of Micromet and MN discussed above, goodwill decreased by $22 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

KAI Pharmaceuticals

On July 5, 2012, we acquired KAI Pharmaceuticals (KAI), a privately held biotechnology company that is developing KAI-4169, its lead product candidate currently in phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis. This transaction, which will be accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to further expand our nephrology pipeline. Upon its acquisition, KAI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen, and its operations will be included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date. The consideration to acquire KAI is approximately $330 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments.

Given the timing of the closing of this transaction, we are currently in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. As a result, we are not yet able to provide the amounts to be recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and other related disclosures.

3. Income taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are different from the federal statutory rates primarily as a result of indefinitely invested earnings of our foreign operations. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were further reduced by foreign tax credits associated with the Puerto Rico excise tax described below. The federal R&D tax credit expired as of December 31, 2011, and was not reinstated as of June 30, 2012. Therefore our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, do not include a benefit for the federal R&D tax credit.

Commencing January 1, 2011, Puerto Rico imposes a temporary excise tax on the purchase of goods and services from a related manufacturer in Puerto Rico. The excise tax is imposed on the gross intercompany purchase price of the goods and services and is effective for a six-year period beginning in 2011, with the excise tax rate declining in each year (4% in 2011, 3.75% in 2012, 2.75% in 2013, 2.5% in 2014, 2.25% in 2015 and 1% in 2016). We account for the excise tax as a manufacturing cost that is capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of sales when the related products are sold. For U.S. income tax purposes, the excise tax results in foreign tax credits that are generally recognized in our provision for income taxes when the excise tax is incurred. Our effective tax rates without the impact of the excise tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, would have been 18.5% and 18.6%, respectively, compared with 18.4% and 18.6% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

One or more of our legal entities file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax returns are routinely audited by the tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2006, or to California state income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2003.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the gross amount of our uncertain tax benefits (UTBs) increased by approximately $75 million and $150 million, respectively, as a result of tax positions taken during the current year. Substantially all of the UTBs as of June 30, 2012, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2012, we believe it is reasonably possible that our gross liabilities for UTBs may decrease by approximately $330 million within the succeeding 12 months due to the resolution of federal and state audits.

4. Earnings per share

The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which include principally shares that may be issued under: our stock option, restricted stock and performance unit awards, determined using the treasury stock method; our outstanding convertible notes, as discussed below; and our outstanding warrants (collectively “dilutive securities”). The convertible note hedges purchased in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always anti-dilutive.

Upon conversion of our convertible notes, the principal amount would be settled in cash, and the excess of the conversion value, as defined, over the principal amount may be settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the shares of our common stock potentially issuable with respect to the excess of the notes’ conversion value over their principal amount, if any, are considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the conversion value of our convertible notes was less than the related principal amount, and accordingly, no shares were assumed to be issued for purposes of computing diluted EPS.

8

The computation for basic and diluted EPS was as follows (in millions, except per-share data):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Income (Numerator):
Net income for basic and diluted EPS	$	1,266	$	1,170	$	2,450	$	2,295
Shares (Denominator):
Weighted-average shares for basic EPS		776		927		783		930
Effect of dilutive securities		9		8		9		8
Weighted-average shares for diluted EPS		785		935		792		938
Basic EPS	$	1.63	$	1.26	$	3.13	$	2.47
Diluted EPS	$	1.61	$	1.25	$	3.09	$	2.45

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were employee stock-based awards, calculated on a weighted-average basis, to acquire 10 million and 11 million shares of our common stock, respectively, that are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there were employee stock-based awards, calculated on a weighted-average basis, to acquire 31 million and 35 million shares of our common stock, respectively, that are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, shares of our common stock that may be issued upon exercise of our warrants are not included in the computation of diluted EPS for any of the periods presented above because their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

5. Collaborative arrangements

AstraZeneca Plc.

In March 2012, we entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca Plc. (AstraZeneca) to jointly develop and commercialize certain monoclonal antibodies from Amgen’s clinical inflammation portfolio, including brodalumab (AMG 827), AMG 139, AMG 157, AMG 181 and AMG 557. The agreement covers the worldwide development and commercialization, except for certain Asian countries for brodalumab and Japan for AMG 557, that are licensed to other third parties.

Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 65% of related development costs for the 2012-2014 periods will be funded by AstraZeneca, thereafter, the companies will share costs equally. If approved for sale, Amgen would receive a low single-digit royalty rate for brodalumab and a mid single-digit royalty rate for the rest of the portfolio, after which the worldwide commercialization profits and losses related to the collaboration would be shared equally. In connection with the transfer of technology rights, Amgen received a payment of $50 million which was recognized in Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cost recoveries recognized for development costs incurred under this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were not material.

The collaboration agreement will continue in effect unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited

In 2008, we entered into an arrangement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda), that provided Takeda both: (a) the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize for the Japanese market up to 12 molecules from our portfolio across a range of therapeutic areas, including oncology and inflammation (collectively the “Japanese market products”) and (b) the right to collaborate with us on the worldwide (outside of Japan) development and commercialization of our product candidate, motesanib. The Japanese market products include Vectibix^® and certain product candidates. In connection with this 2008 arrangement, we received upfront payments of $300 million that were deferred and were being recognized as Other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income over the estimated period of continuing involvement of approximately 20 years. In June 2012, this agreement was modified and as of the date of modification, $230 million of this deferred revenue was on the balance sheet.

9

In 2011, we announced that the motesanib pivotal phase 3 trial (MONET1) had not met its primary objective of demonstrating an improvement in overall survival.

In June 2012, the parties materially modified this arrangement such that Amgen licensed all of its rights to motesanib to Takeda which now has control over the worldwide development and commercialization of motesanib. As a result of this modification, we will no longer participate in the development of motesanib and our obligations with respect to motesanib are limited primarily to closing the MONET1 clinical trial and transitioning certain existing development data and manufacturing capabilities (collectively “transition services”) from our contract manufacturer to Takeda. In exchange for licensing motesanib to Takeda, we received an additional upfront payment of $3 million and will receive incremental cost recoveries of approximately $21 million. We may also receive substantive success-based regulatory approval milestones and royalties on global sales of motesanib, if approved for sale, that are substantially lower than those under the 2008 agreement.

Upon the modification of the arrangement, we determined that the remaining deliverables are: (i) the additional license rights to motesanib granted to Takeda and related transition services, (ii) commercial supply of Vectibix^® and (iii) clinical and commercial supply and data relating to certain development activities, to the extent undertaken by Amgen, for the Japanese market products other than Vectibix^®. We considered several factors in determining whether stand-alone value exists for each deliverable, including the rights and ability to perform the R&D activities, as well as the ability of parties to use a third party to perform their respective designated activities under the arrangement. The estimated selling prices for the undelivered items were determined by using third party evidence and best estimate of selling price (BESP) where applicable as of the date of modification. BESP was primarily determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fixed or determinable arrangement consideration was allocated to the undelivered items based on the relative selling price method and will be recognized as the services are performed or product is delivered. This amount was deducted from the sum of the consideration to be received in the future plus deferred revenue from the original 2008 arrangement as of the date of the modification of $230 million with the remainder of $206 million recognized as Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, we may also receive royalties and numerous individually immaterial milestones aggregating $337 million upon the achievement of various substantive success-based development and regulatory approval milestones. The receipt of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events that have a high degree of uncertainty of occurring.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, realized gains totaled $49 million and $48 million, and realized losses totaled $11 million and $5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, realized gains totaled $116 million and $137 million, and realized losses totaled $30 million and $13 million, respectively. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits debt security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.

We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below our cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security, including any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we believe the cost bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.

Debt issuances

In May 2012, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of the 2.125% 2017 Notes, the 3.625% 2022 Notes and the 5.375% 2043 Notes. These notes may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest and a “make-whole” amount, as defined. In the event of a change in control triggering event, as defined, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of these notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of this debt totaling approximately $15 million are being amortized over the respective lives of the notes, and the related charge is included in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

11. Fair value measurement

To determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities we use valuation approaches within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1	—	Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access
Level 2	—	Valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than level 1 inputs
Level 3	—	Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement

The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used for measuring fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input used that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair values of our U.S. Treasury securities, money market mutual funds and equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment.

Substantially all of our other government related and corporate debt securities are investment grade with maturity dates of five years or less from the balance sheet date. Our other government related debt securities portfolio is composed of securities with weighted-average credit ratings of AA- by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and AA or equivalent by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch); and our corporate debt securities portfolio has a weighted-average credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P and Moody’s and A by Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.

Our residential mortgage-, other mortgage- and asset-backed securities portfolio is composed entirely of senior tranches, with credit ratings of AAA or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.

17

Substantially all of our foreign currency forward and option derivatives contracts have maturities primarily over a three year time horizon and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates. In addition, inputs for our foreign currency option contracts also include implied volatility measures. These inputs, where applicable, are at commonly quoted intervals. (See Note 12, Derivative instruments.)

Our cross currency swap contracts are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, LIBOR, swap rates, obligor credit default swap rates and cross currency basis swap spreads. (See Note 12, Derivative instruments.)

All our interest rate swap contracts were terminated during the three months ended June 30, 2012 (see Note 12, Derivative instruments). While outstanding, our interest rate swap contracts were with counterparties that had a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs were observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include LIBOR, swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates.

As a result of our acquisition of Biovex Group, Inc. in March 2011, we are obligated to pay its former shareholders up to $575 million of additional consideration contingent upon achieving up to eight separate regulatory and sales related milestones with regard to talimogene laherparepvec, which was acquired in the acquisition and is currently in phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of malignant melanoma. The three largest of these potential payments are $125 million each, including the amount due upon completing the filing of a Biologics License Application with the FDA. Potential payments are also due upon the first commercial sale in each of the United States and the European Union following receipt of marketing approval which includes use of the product in specified patient populations and upon achieving specified levels of sales within specified periods of time.

These contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value measurements of these obligations are based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving the related regulatory events in connection with these milestones and, as applicable, estimated annual sales. Significant changes (increases or decreases) in these inputs would result in corresponding changes in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations.

Annually, or whenever there are significant changes in underlying key assumptions, we estimate the fair values of these contingent consideration obligations by using a combination of probability adjusted discounted cash flows, option pricing techniques and a simulation model of expected annual sales. Quarterly, a review of key assumptions is performed by management in our R&D and commercial sales organizations. In the absence of any significant changes in key assumptions, the quarterly determination of fair values of these contingent consideration obligations reflects the passage of time and changes in our credit risk adjusted rate used to discount obligations to present value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in underlying key assumptions, and the increases in the estimated aggregate fair value of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, were recorded in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels, and there were no material remeasurements to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Summary of the fair value of other financial instruments

Borrowings

We estimate the fair values of our convertible notes (Level 2) by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly, including benchmark yields adjusted for our credit risk. The fair value of our convertible notes represents only the liability components of these instruments, as their equity components are included in Common stock and additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair values of our other long-term notes (Level 2) by taking into consideration indicative prices obtained from a third party financial institution that utilizes industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; credit spreads; benchmark yields; foreign exchange rates, as applicable; and other observable inputs. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair values of our long-term debt were $26.9 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively, and the carrying values were $24.4 billion and $21.4 billion, respectively.

12. Derivative instruments

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks related to its business operations. To reduce our risks related to these exposures, we utilize certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward, foreign currency option, cross currency swap, forward interest rate and interest rate swap contracts. We do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

Cash flow hedges

We are exposed to possible changes in the values of certain anticipated foreign currency cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, associated primarily with our euro denominated international product sales. Increases and decreases in the cash flows associated with our international product sales due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates are offset partially by the corresponding increases and decreases in our international operating expenses resulting from these foreign currency exchange rate movements. To further reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international product sales, we enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge a portion of our projected international product sales primarily over a three-year time horizon, with, at any given point in time, a higher percentage of nearer-term projected product sales being hedged than in successive periods. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $3.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and open foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts of $190 million and $292 million, respectively. These foreign currency forward and option contracts, primarily euro based, have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

In order to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our pound sterling denominated long-term notes issued in 2011, we entered into cross currency swap contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest payments in pounds sterling at a fixed rate of 5.5% on £475 million and pay interest in U.S. dollars at a fixed rate of 5.8% on $748 million, the aggregate notional amounts paid to/received from the counterparties upon exchange of currencies at the inception of these contracts. We will pay U.S. dollars to, and receive pounds sterling from, the counterparties at the maturity of the contracts for the same notional amounts. The terms of these contracts correspond to the related hedged notes, effectively converting the interest payments and principal repayment on these notes from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars. These cross currency swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged debt affects earnings.

In connection with the anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate debt, we occasionally enter into forward interest rate contracts in order to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in the applicable Treasury rate between the time we enter into these contracts and the time the related debt is issued. Gains and losses on such contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are reported in AOCI and amortized into earnings over the lives of the associated debt issuances.

The effective portion of the unrealized gain/(loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows (in millions):

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

No portions of our cash flow hedge contracts are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were approximately $1 million of gains for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and no net gain or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were approximately $1 million of losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the amounts expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months are approximately $93 million of net gains on our foreign currency and cross currency swap contracts and approximately $1 million of losses on forward interest rate contracts.

Fair value hedges

To achieve a desired mix of fixed and floating interest rates on our long-term debt, we entered into interest rate swap contracts, which qualified and were designated as fair value hedges. The terms of these interest rate swap contracts corresponded to the related hedged debt instruments and effectively converted a fixed interest rate coupon to a floating LIBOR-based coupon over the lives of the respective notes. While outstanding, the rates on these swaps ranged from LIBOR plus 0.3% to LIBOR plus 2.6%. As of December 31, 2011, we had interest rate swap contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $3.6 billion with respect to our 4.85% 2014 Notes, 5.85% 2017 Notes, 6.15% 2018 Notes and 5.70% 2019 Notes. Due to historically low interest rates, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we terminated all of these interest rate swap contracts resulting in the receipt of $397 million from the counterparties, which was included in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the current year period. This amount will be recognized in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the remaining lives of the related debt issuances.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative resulting from the change in fair value during the period as well as the offsetting unrealized loss or gain of the hedged item resulting from the change in fair value during the period attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in current earnings. While the interest rate swaps were outstanding, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $38 million and $20 million, respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $38 million and $20 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swap contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $84 million and $37 million, respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $84 million and $37 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swap agreements.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These exposures are hedged on a month-to-month basis. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the total notional amounts of these foreign currency forward contracts were $408 million and $389 million, respectively.

The location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the amount of gain/(loss) recognized in earnings for our derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in millions):

		Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,

Our derivative contracts that were in liability positions as of June 30, 2012, contain certain credit risk related contingent provisions that would be triggered if (i) we were to undergo a change in control and (ii) our or the surviving entity’s creditworthiness deteriorates, which is generally defined as having either a credit rating that is below investment grade or a materially weaker creditworthiness after the change in control. If these events were to occur, the counterparties would have the right, but not the obligation, to close the contracts under early-termination provisions. In such circumstances, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of these contracts for amounts that approximate the then current fair values of the contracts.

The cash flow effects of our derivatives contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

13. Contingencies and commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and other matters, including those discussed in this Note, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. See Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and Note 13, Contingencies and commitments to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, for further discussion of certain of our legal proceedings and other matters.

We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that has been accrued previously. Excluding fees paid to our external counsel, as of June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $789 million associated with the previously-announced proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the federal civil and criminal investigations pending in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Eastern District of New York and the Western District of Washington (the Federal Investigations), including $780 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2011, and accrued interest potentially due on the proposed settlement.

Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to a class action with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including but not limited to patent infringement, marketing, pricing and trade practices and securities law), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. Except for the proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the Federal Investigations, in each of the matters described in this filing, in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, or in Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, plaintiffs seek an award of a not-yet-quantified amount of damages or an amount that is not material. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, except for the proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the Federal Investigations, none of the matters described in these filings have progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss, if any, or such amounts are not material. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending, including further adverse determinations associated with the pending investigations described above, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and other matters are discussed below:

Co-Pay Litigation

As previously reported, on April 12, 2012, the plaintiffs in American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 37 Health & Security Plan v. Amgen Inc., a class action lawsuit pending against Amgen and Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer), joined a motion filed by other plaintiffs seeking to transfer and consolidate into a federal Multidistrict Litigation proceeding several similar lawsuits pending against a number of pharmaceutical companies. The lawsuits generally challenge the legality of the companies’ co-pay assistance programs.

Six additional lawsuits were subsequently filed by several plaintiffs against Merck & Co., Inc., Pfizer and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. Amgen has not been named as a defendant in any of these subsequent actions (collectively, the Follow On Cases). The plaintiffs in the Follow On Cases moved to be included as part of the motions for consolidated federal Multidistrict Litigation described above. A hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation was held on July 26, 2012, and the motions for consolidation were denied on August 2, 2012.

Average Wholesale Price Litigation

State of Louisiana v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., et al.

In May 2012, this state price reporting lawsuit brought by the State of Louisiana against Amgen and other pharmaceutical companies was settled as to Amgen and the State of Louisiana for an immaterial amount. The Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District, approved the settlement and dismissed the case against Amgen with prejudice.

23

Federal Securities Litigation — In re Amgen Inc. Securities Litigation

On June 11, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Amgen’s petition for certiorari to address various issues related to the plaintiffs’ ability to obtain class certification in this securities class action lawsuit pending against Amgen. Oral argument is set for November 5, 2012.

State Derivative Litigation

Birch v. Sharer, et al.

After briefing and oral argument on the appeal, on June 21, 2012, the California State Appellate Court reversed the decision of the Complex Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which had dismissed with prejudice this stockholder derivative lawsuit pending against Amgen and the individual defendants. The California State Appellate Court is due to issue its order returning this case to the Complex Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court by August 21, 2012.

Government Investigations and Qui Tam Actions

As part of the discussions relating to the proposed settlement of the Federal Investigations, Amgen was made aware that it is a defendant in several other civil qui tam actions. These other qui tam actions are in addition to the Qui Tam Actions described in Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. One of these other qui tam actions, U.S. ex rel. May v. Amgen, et al. was filed by Samuel May on June 6, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and was unsealed in connection with it being dismissed by the court on January 5, 2012, for failure to prosecute the matter. The remaining other qui tam actions remain under seal in the U.S. federal courts in which they were filed. Included with these other actions (including the May action) are allegations that Amgen’s promotional, contracting, sales and marketing activities and arrangements relating to Enbrel^®, Aranesp^®, NEUPOGEN^®, Neulasta^®, XGEVA^®, Prolia^®, Vectibix^® and Nplate^® caused the submission of various false claims under the Federal Civil False Claims Act and various State False Claims Acts. Certain of the allegations in these remaining other actions are not encompassed in the proposed settlement described above, and Amgen intends to cooperate fully with the government in its investigation of these new allegations. Amgen continues to explore with the government whether these remaining matters will be resolved in connection with the proposed settlement discussed above.

U.S. ex rel. Streck v. Allergan, et al.

On May 18, 2012, a hearing was held on defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s fourth amended complaint in this Federal Civil False Claims Act lawsuit against Amgen and other pharmaceutical manufacturers in which the federal government had declined to intervene. On July 3, 2012, the complaint against Amgen was dismissed with prejudice.

Overview

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to assist the reader in understanding Amgen’s business. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012. Our results of operations discussed in MD&A are presented in conformity with GAAP.

Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is the world’s largest independent biotechnology medicines company. We discover, develop, manufacture and market medicines for grievous illnesses. We focus solely on human therapeutics and concentrate on innovative novel medicines based on advances in cellular and molecular biology. Our mission is to serve patients. We operate in one business segment — human therapeutics. Therefore, our results of operations are discussed on a consolidated basis.

Currently, we market primarily recombinant protein therapeutics in supportive cancer care, nephrology and inflammation. Our principal products are Neulasta^® (pegfilgrastim), NEUPOGEN^® (Filgrastim), ENBREL (etanercept) and our erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs): Aranesp^® (darbepoetin alfa) and EPOGEN^® (epoetin alfa). Our product sales outside of the United States consist principally of sales in Europe. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our principal products represented 83% of worldwide product sales; and for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, our principal products represented 88% of worldwide product sales. Our other marketed products include principally Sensipar^®/Mimpara^® (cinacalcet), Vectibix^® (panitumumab), Nplate^® (romiplostim), XGEVA^® (denosumab) and Prolia^® (denosumab).

Significant developments

Following is a summary of selected significant developments affecting our business that have occurred to date since March 31, 2012. For additional developments or for a more comprehensive discussion of certain developments discussed below, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Chief Executive Officer Succession

• On May 23, 2012, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. Robert A. Bradway, 49, to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, replacing Mr. Kevin W. Sharer. Previously, Mr. Bradway served as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer since May 2010.

Products/Pipeline

AMG 145

• On July 26, 2012, we announced that in four phase 2 studies (evaluating AMG 145 as monotherapy, in combination with statin therapy, in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and in statin-intolerant subjects), treatment with AMG 145 resulted in a statistically significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Based on the phase 2 efficacy and safety data, we plan to initiate phase 3 development in early 2013.

Ganitumab (AMG 479)

• On August 8, 2012, we announced a decision to stop the ganitumab phase 3 GAMMA (Gemcitabine and AMG 479 in Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas) trial in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer following the recommendation of an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Based on the review of a pre-planned interim analysis, the DMC concluded that the addition of ganitumab to gemcitabine is unlikely to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint of overall survival compared to gemcitabine alone. There were no safety concerns raised in the DMC review of the study.

XGEVA^®

• On June 15, 2012, we filed a Type II variation with the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of men with castration-resistant prostate cancer at high risk of developing bone metastases as determined by prostate specific antigen levels, based on data from the ‘147 study.

Sensipar^®

• On June 8, 2012, we announced top-line results of the phase 3 EValuation Of Cinacalcet HCl Therapy to Lower CardioVascular Events (E.V.O.L.V.E™) trial, which evaluated Sensipar^®/Mimpara^® (cinacalcet) for the reduction of the risk of mortality and cardiovascular events among 3,883 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and CKD receiving dialysis. The primary endpoint of the study was time to the composite event comprising all-cause mortality or first non-fatal cardiovascular event, including myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure or peripheral vascular event. Although patients in the Sensipar^®/Mimpara^® arm experienced numerically fewer composite primary events, the results were not statistically significant, and the trial did not meet its primary endpoint in the intent-to-treat analysis.

Acquisition

• On June 12, 2012, we acquired 99.4% of the outstanding stock of Mustafa Nevzat Pharmaceuticals, a privately held company that is a leading supplier of pharmaceuticals to the hospital sector and a major supplier of injectable medicines in Turkey. The acquisition provides us with the opportunity to expand our presence in Turkey and the surrounding region.

Selected financial information

Following is an overview of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as well as our financial condition as of June 30, 2012 (amounts in millions, except percentages and per-share data):

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		Change		2012		2011		Change
Product sales:
U.S.	$	3,255	$	2,975		9 %	$	6,252	$	5,753		9 %
ROW		945		918		3 %		1,849		1,758		5 %
Total product sales		4,200		3,893		8 %		8,101		7,511		8 %
Other revenues		277		66		—		424		154		—
Total revenues	$	4,477	$	3,959		13 %	$	8,525	$	7,665		11 %
Operating expenses	$	2,888	$	2,627		10 %	$	5,459	$	5,040		8 %
Operating income	$	1,589	$	1,332		19 %	$	3,066	$	2,625		17 %
Net income	$	1,266	$	1,170		8 %	$	2,450	$	2,295		7 %
Diluted EPS	$	1.61	$	1.25		29 %	$	3.09	$	2.45		26 %
Diluted shares		785		935		(16)%		792		938		(16)%

The increases in U.S. product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, reflect growth for all of our marketed products except ESAs, which declined 6% and 12%, respectively. Excluding ESAs, U.S. product sales increased 15% and 16%, respectively.

The increases in rest-of-the-world (ROW) product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, reflect growth for all of our marketed products except Aranesp^®, which declined 7% and 5%, and combined Neulasta^®/NEUPOGEN^® sales, which declined 13% and 8%, respectively.

The increases in other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2012, related to changes in our motesanib collaboration with Takeda. As part of efforts to focus R&D activities, we replaced the global co-development and profit share agreement for motesanib with an exclusive license for Takeda to develop, manufacture and commercialize motesanib. This resulted in revenue recognition of $206 million from upfront payments received from Takeda and deferred when the collaboration was originally formed in 2008. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we received milestone payments in connection with entering into a collaboration with AstraZeneca and with receipt of marketing approval of AMG 223 in Japan by Astellas Pharma Inc.

The increases in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to higher operating income, offset partially by higher interest expense, net, due primarily to a higher average debt balance.

The increases in diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were driven primarily by the favorable impacts of our stock repurchase program, which reduced the number of shares used to compute diluted EPS, and, to a lesser degree, by increases in net income.

Commencing January 1, 2011, Puerto Rico imposes a temporary excise tax on the purchase of goods and services from a related manufacturer in Puerto Rico. The excise tax is imposed on the gross intercompany purchase price of the goods and services and is effective for a six-year period beginning in 2011, with the excise tax rate declining in each year (4% in 2011, 3.75% in 2012, 2.75% in 2013, 2.5% in 2014, 2.25% in 2015 and 1% in 2016). We account for the excise tax as a manufacturing cost that is capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of sales when the related products are sold. For U.S. income tax purposes, the excise tax results in foreign tax credits that are generally recognized in our provision for income taxes when the excise tax is incurred. This excise tax has had and will continue to have a significant adverse impact on our cost of sales and a significant favorable impact on our provision for income taxes. In addition, the overall impact of the excise tax will vary from period to period as a result of the timing difference between recognizing the expense and the applicable tax credit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, cost of

27

sales increased by $85 million and $166 million, respectively, compared with $45 million and $58 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The provision for income taxes decreased by $95 million and $182 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as a result of this excise tax compared with $86 million and $153 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

As of June 30, 2012, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $22.5 billion and total debt outstanding was $24.4 billion. Of our total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances as of June 30, 2012, approximately $17.7 billion was generated from operations in foreign tax jurisdictions and is intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. Under current tax laws, if these funds were repatriated for use in our U.S. operations, we would be required to pay additional U.S. federal and state income taxes at the applicable marginal tax rates.

The increases in combined U.S. sales of Neulasta^®/NEUPOGEN^® for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were driven primarily by increases in the average net sales price and, to a lesser extent, increases in unit demand, offset partially by decreases in wholesaler inventories.

The decreases in combined ROW Neulasta^®/NEUPOGEN^® sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to decreases in NEUPOGEN^® unit demand from loss of share to biosimilars and to decreases in the average net sales price of Neulasta^® and NEUPOGEN^®.

Future Neulasta^®/NEUPOGEN^® sales will depend in part on factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The decrease in U.S. Aranesp^® sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was driven primarily by a decline in unit demand, offset partially by a year-over-year change in accounting estimates of $24 million and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average net sales price. The decrease in U.S. Aranesp^® sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was driven primarily by a decline in unit demand, offset partially by an increase in the average net sales price and by a year-over-year change in accounting estimates. The unit declines reflect segment contraction resulting from changes to the label and to the reimbursement environment that occurred during 2011.

The decreases in ROW Aranesp^® sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to decreases in the average net sales price.

Future Aranesp^® sales will depend in part on factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Certain of those factors may have a material adverse impact on future sales of Aranesp^®.

EPOGEN® — U.S.	$	525	$	543		(3)%	$	971	$	1,078		(10)%

The decreases in EPOGEN^® sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to the impact of changes to the label and to the reimbursement environment that occurred in 2011. The declines comprised 26% and 28% decreases in unit demand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, driven by reductions in dose utilization. These decreases

29

were offset partially by reductions in customer discounts, as part of new provider contracts that became effective January 1, 2012, and by a year-over-year change in accounting estimates of $43 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

EPOGEN^® sales increased 18% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012, driven by customer and wholesaler buying patterns and a low-single-digit-percentage-point growth in underlying unit demand.

Future EPOGEN^® sales will depend in part on factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Other	$	79	$	3		—	$	85	$	19		—

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased to 16.2% and 16.8% of product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, driven primarily by the Puerto Rico excise tax. Excluding the impacts of the Puerto Rico excise tax, cost of sales would have been 14.2% and 14.3% of product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 14.8% of product sales for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Research and development

R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were flat versus the same periods in 2011. Expenses in support of our later-stage clinical programs, including AMG 145 and AMG 785, increased $72 million and $118 million, respectively. These increases were offset by reductions in expenses associated with marketed product support of $53 million and $62 million and expenses in support of Discovery Research and Translational Sciences of $12 million and $49 million, respectively. R&D expenses are expected to increase in the second half of 2012 relative to the first half.

Selling, general and administrative

The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were driven primarily by higher ENBREL profit share expenses of $37 million and $62 million as well as international expansion of $39 million and $56 million, respectively. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was offset partially by a favorable change to the estimated 2011 U.S. healthcare reform federal excise fee of $42 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, expenses associated with the ENBREL profit share were $371 million and $695 million, and $334 million and $633 million, respectively.

Other

Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, included certain charges related to our cost savings initiatives of $69 million and $70 million, respectively.

Non-operating expenses/income and provisions for income taxes

Non-operating expenses/income and provisions for income taxes were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Interest expense, net	$	256	$	122	$	491	$	257
Interest and other income, net	$	124	$	129	$	248	$	277
Provisions for income taxes	$	191	$	169	$	373	$	350
Effective tax rate		13.1%		12.6%		13.2%		13.2%

Interest expense, net

The increases in interest expense, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to a higher average debt balance.

Interest and other income, net

The decreases in interest and other income, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were due primarily to lower net realized gains on investments, offset partially by higher interest income due to a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Income taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were 13.1% and 13.2%, respectively, compared with 12.6% and 13.2% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was due primarily to the exclusion of the benefit of the federal R&D tax credit (the federal R&D tax credit expired as of December 31, 2011, and was not reinstated as of June 30, 2012) offset partially by changes in revenue and expense mix. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was unchanged as the increase due to the exclusion of the benefit of the federal R&D tax credit was offset by changes in revenue and expense mix, including adjustments to the non-deductible healthcare reform federal excise fee. Our effective tax rates without the impact of the Puerto Rico excise tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, would have been 18.5% and 18.6%, respectively, compared with 18.4% and 18.6% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

The Company intends to continue to return capital to stockholders through share repurchases and the payment of cash dividends, reflecting our confidence in the future cash flows of our business. The amount we spend, the number of shares repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will vary based on a number of factors, including the stock price, the availability of financing on acceptable terms, the amount and timing of dividend payments and blackout periods in which we are restricted from repurchasing shares; and the manner of purchases may include private block purchases, tender offers and market transactions. Whether and when we declare dividends or repurchase stock, the size of any dividend and the amount of stock we repurchase could be affected by a number of additional factors. (See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Item 1A. Risk Factors—There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends or repurchase stock.) In October 2011, we announced our

32

intent to accelerate our stock repurchase program and that our Board of Directors had authorized an increase in our stock repurchase program to $10 billion, reflecting our confidence in the long-term value of the Company and the attractive interest rate environment. Subsequent to the October 2011 Board of Directors authorization through December 2011, we repurchased 83.3 million shares at an aggregate cost of $5.0 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 38.4 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $2.6 billion. This brings the total shares repurchased under this approved program to 122 million at a total cost of $7.6 billion at an average price of $62.75 per share. As of June 30, 2012, $2.4 billion remained available under this stock repurchase program. In December 2011 and March 2012, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.36 per share of common stock, which were paid on March 7 and June 7, 2012, respectively, and totaled $565 million. On July 19, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share of common stock, which will be paid on September 7, 2012, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2012.

We believe existing funds, cash generated from operations and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our needs for working capital; capital expenditure and debt service requirements; our plans to pay dividends and repurchase stock; and other business initiatives we plan to strategically pursue, including acquisitions and licensing activities, in each case for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided by operating activities, sales of marketable securities, borrowings through commercial paper and/or our syndicated credit facility and access to other domestic and foreign debt markets and equity markets. With respect to our U.S. operations, we believe that existing funds intended for use in the United States; cash generated from our U.S. operations, including intercompany payments and receipts; and existing sources of and access to financing (collectively referred to as “U.S. funds”) are adequate to continue to meet our U.S. obligations (including our plans to repurchase stock and pay dividends with U.S. funds) for the foreseeable future. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we issued an additional $3.0 billion of long-term debt, and we now have adequate U.S. funding to complete the $10 billion of stock repurchases authorized under our stock repurchase program. Our 2013 Convertible Notes mature in the first quarter of 2013 and are included in the current portion of long-term debt at $2.4 billion. We are currently considering alternatives to refinance that obligation. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Item 1A. Risk Factors – Current global economic conditions may negatively affect us and may magnify certain risks that affect our business.

A significant portion of our operating cash flows is dependent on the timing of payments from our customers located in the United States and, to a lesser extent, our customers outside of the United States, which include government-owned or -supported healthcare providers (government healthcare providers). Payments from these government healthcare providers are dependent, in part, on the economic stability and creditworthiness of their applicable country. Historically, some payments from a number of European government healthcare providers have extended beyond the contractual terms of sale, and the trend has worsened over time as regional economic uncertainty has increased. We did collect $197 million under a government-funded program in Spain during the three months ended June 30, 2012. However, deteriorating credit and economic conditions in southern Europe, particularly in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, continue to adversely impact the timing of collections of our trade receivables in this region. As of June 30, 2012, accounts receivable in these four countries totaled $427 million, of which $288 million was past due, with the past due receivables primarily in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Although economic conditions in this region may continue affecting the average length of time it takes to collect payments, to date we have not incurred any significant losses related to these receivables; and the timing of payments in these countries has not had nor is it currently expected to have a material adverse impact on our overall operating cash flows. However, if government funding for healthcare were to become unavailable in these countries or if significant adverse adjustments to past payment practices were to occur, we may not be able to collect the entire balance of these receivables. We will continue working closely with these customers, monitoring the economic situation and taking appropriate actions as necessary.

Over the next several years, many of the existing patents on our principal products will expire. As a result, we expect to face increasing competition from biosimilars that may have a material adverse impact on our product sales, results of operations and liquidity. Upon patent expiration for small molecule products, there is typically intense competition from generics manufacturers, which generally leads to significant and rapid declines in sales of the branded product. Given that our principal products are biologics, we do not believe the impact of biosimilar competition will be as significant as with small molecule products, in part because successful competitors must have a broad range of specialized skills and capabilities unique to biologics, including significant regulatory, clinical and manufacturing expertise, and since the products are similar but not identical, the biosimilars will have to compete against products with established efficacies and safety records. We have many opportunities to grow our business, including the continued commercialization of XGEVA^® and Prolia^® and expansion into emerging markets and Japan, which we believe may offset the adverse financial impact of our principal products’ patent expiries.

Certain of our financing arrangements contain non-financial covenants. In addition, our revolving credit agreement includes a financial covenant with respect to the level of our borrowings in relation to our equity, as defined. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under these arrangements as of June 30, 2012.

Cash flows

Our cash flow activity was as follows (in millions):

	Six months ended June 30,
	2012			2011
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,347		$	2,566
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(4,786	)		291
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		342			(146	)

Operating

Cash provided by operating activities has been and is expected to continue to be our primary recurring source of funds. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased due primarily to the timing and amount of receipts from customers (including $197 million received under a government-funded program in Spain), cash received in connection with the termination of our interest rate swap agreements of $397 million and the impact of decreased inventory-related expenditures, offset partially by the timing and amount of payments to taxing authorities and others.

Investing

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012, was due primarily to net purchases of marketable securities of $2.7 billion and the acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $1.7 billion. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011, was due primarily to net sales of marketable securities of $1.2 billion, offset partially by cash used to acquire businesses, net of cash acquired of $701 million.

Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, totaled $316 million and $223 million, respectively. Capital expenditures during both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were associated primarily with manufacturing-capacity expansions in Puerto Rico and other site developments. We currently estimate 2012 spending on capital projects and equipment to be approximately $700 million.

Financing

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012, was due primarily to the issuance of long-term debt of $3.0 billion and the net proceeds from issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s equity award programs of $584 million, offset partially by repurchases of our common stock of $2.6 billion, payment of dividends of $565 million and repayment of $102 million of long-term debt.

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011, was due to the repayment of $2.5 billion of long-term debt and repurchases of our common stock of $745 million, offset partially by the issuance of long-term debt of $3.0 billion and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s equity award program of $113 million.

See Note 9, Financing arrangements, and Note 10, Stockholders’ equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information about our market risk is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes for the six months ended June 30, 2012, to the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, due to historically low interest rates, we terminated all of our interest rate swap contracts which had an aggregate notional amount of $3.6 billion, resulting in the receipt of $397 million from the counterparties. This amount will be recognized in earnings over the remaining lives of the debt issuances that were related to these interest rate swap contracts and will not significantly impact earnings for any fiscal year.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as the term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Amgen’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Amgen’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Amgen’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, Amgen’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Amgen’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Amgen’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.

Management determined that, as of June 30, 2012, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 13, Contingencies and commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2012, and March 31, 2012, for discussions that are limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings. These discussions should be read in conjunction with Note 18, Contingencies and commitments, to our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

This report and other documents we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties facing our business. We have described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the primary risks related to our business and periodically update those risks for material developments. These risks are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as employment relations, general economic conditions, geopolitical events and international operations. Further, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may in the future materially and adversely affect our business, operations, liquidity and stock price.

There are no material updates from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and in Part II, Item IA, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The amount we spend, the number of shares repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will vary based on a number of factors, including the stock price, the availability of financing on acceptable terms, the amount and timing of dividend payments and blackout periods in which we are restricted from repurchasing shares; and the manner of purchases may include private block purchases, tender offers and market transactions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had one outstanding stock repurchase program. Our repurchase activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was as follows:

	Total number of shares purchased		Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced  program		Maximum dollar value that  may yet be purchased under the program(1)
April 1 - April 30		4,702,600	$	67.38		4,702,600	$	3,246,696,626
May 1 - May 31		6,546,600		69.64		6,546,600		2,790,822,264

Item 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

Takeda

In 2011, we announced that the motesanib pivotal phase 3 trial (MONET1) had not met its primary objective of demonstrating an improvement in overall survival. On June 29, 2012, we and Takeda terminated the License Agreement for motesanib dated as of February 1, 2008. At the same time, we and Takeda entered into a new commercial agreement licensing all of our rights to motesanib to Takeda and granting Takeda control over the worldwide development, manufacture and commercialization of motesanib. (See Note 5, Collaborative arrangements, in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report.) We and Takeda remain subject to the Multi-product License Agreement with Respect to Japan dated as of February 1, 2008, and the Supply Agreement dated as of February 1, 2008, which provide for the development and commercialization for the Japanese market of up to 12 other molecules from the Company’s portfolio across a range of therapeutic areas, as well as the manufacture and supply of such product candidates and products for clinical and commercial purposes.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS ARE FOUND IN THE PAGES RELATING TO THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS FOUND ON MERRILL LYNCH BENEFITS WEBSITE (OR THE WEBSITE OF ANY SUCCESSOR COMPANY TO MERRILL LYNCH BANK & TRUST CO., FSB) (THE “AWARD NOTICE”) WHICH ACCOMPANIES THIS DOCUMENT. THE TERMS OF THE AWARD NOTICE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT.

On the Grant Date specified in the Award Notice, Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you, the grantee named in the Award Notice, under the plan specified in the Award Notice (the “Plan”), the Number of Units with respect to the number of shares of the $.0001 par value common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) specified in the Award Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the attached Appendix A and the Award Notice (together, the “Agreement”). The Units shall constitute Restricted Stock Units under Section 9.5 of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

I. Vesting Schedule and Termination of Units.

a. General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each Vesting Date, the Number of Units indicated on the Vesting Schedule shall vest, provided that you have remained continuously and actively employed with the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Plan) through each applicable Vesting Date, unless (i) your employment has terminated due to your Voluntary Termination (as defined in paragraph (d) of this Section I below), (ii) you experience a Qualified Termination (as defined below), or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Company in the exercise of its discretion as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section I. The Units represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares. Only whole Shares shall be issued upon vesting of the Units, and the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any fractional Shares to you. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for any reason or for no reason, including if your active employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause (as defined below), or in the event of any other termination of your active employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or an Affiliate, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section I below, your unvested Units shall automatically expire and terminate on the date of termination of your active employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Vesting Schedule may be accelerated (by notice in writing) by the Company in its sole discretion at any time during the term of the Units. In addition, if not prohibited by local law, vesting may be suspended by the Company in its sole discretion during a leave of absence as provided from time to time according to Company policies and practices.

1

b. Permanent and Total Disability. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below), then the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, to vest as of the day immediately preceding such termination of your employment with respect to all Units granted hereunder.

c. Death. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your death, then the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated to vest as of the day immediately preceding your death with respect to all Units granted hereunder.

d. Retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if you terminate your employment with the Company or an Affiliate due to your voluntary termination (and such voluntary termination is not the result of Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below)) after you are at least sixty-five (65) years of age, or after you are at least fifty-five (55) years of age and have been an employee of the Company and/or an Affiliate for at least ten (10) years in the aggregate as determined by the Company in its sole discretion according to Company policies and practices as in effect from time to time (“Voluntary Termination”), then the Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule without regard to the termination of employment prior to the Vesting Date, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, with respect to all Units granted hereunder; notwithstanding the definition of Voluntary Termination set forth above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment upon Voluntary Termination described above being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Committee will not apply the favorable treatment described above.

e. Qualified Termination after a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, in the event of a Qualified Termination (as defined below), then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated to vest as of the day immediately prior to the Qualified Termination.

f. Continued Vesting. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, the Company may in its sole discretion at any time during the term of this Agreement, in writing, otherwise provide that the Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule without regard to the termination of employment prior to the Vesting Date, subject to any terms and conditions that the Company may determine.

2

For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “termination of your active employment” shall mean the last date that you are either an active employee of the Company or an Affiliate or actively engaged as a Consultant or Director of the Company or an Affiliate; in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are working or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), your right to receive Units and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any). The Company shall have exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Units (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(ii) “Cause” shall mean (i) your conviction of a felony, or (ii) your engaging in conduct that constitutes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out your duties, resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to the Company, unless you believed in good faith that such conduct was in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company. For purposes of clause (ii) above, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith;

(iii) “Permanent and Total Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term under Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and with such permanent and total disability being certified prior to termination of your employment by (i) the U.S. Social Security Administration, (ii) the comparable governmental authority applicable to an Affiliate, (iii) such other body having the relevant decision-making power applicable to an Affiliate, or (iv) an independent medical advisor appointed by the Company in its sole discretion, as applicable, in any such case;

(iv) “Qualified Termination” shall mean

(a) if you are an employee who participates in the Change of Control Plan (as defined below), your termination of employment within two (2) years following a Change of Control (i) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability (as defined below), or as a result of your death or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Change of Control Plan); or

(b) if you are an employee who does not participate in the Change of Control Plan or the Change of Control Plan is no longer in effect, your termination of employment within two (2) years following a Change of Control by the Company other than for Cause, Disability (as defined below), or as a result of your death;

(v) “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

(A) the acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company), of

3

beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of either the then-outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

(B) individuals who, as of April 2, 1991, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to April 2, 1991, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of the Plan, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(C) the consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, (in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then-outstanding voting securities) or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(D) any other event which the Incumbent Board, in its sole discretion, determines shall constitute a Change of Control.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Unit that is subject to United States income tax and which provides for a deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the transaction or event described in subsection (A), (B), (C) or (D) above must also constitute a “change in control event,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5), in order to constitute a Change of Control for purposes of payment of such Unit.

(vi) “Change of Control Plan” shall mean the Company’s change of control and severance plan, including the Amgen Inc. Change of Control Severance Plan, as amended and restated, effective as of December 9, 2010 (and any subsequent amendments thereto), or equivalent plan governing the provision of benefits to eligible employees upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (including resulting from a termination of employment that occurs within a specified time period following a Change of Control), as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control; and

(vii) “Disability” shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s long-term disability plan as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control.

II. Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to satisfaction of tax or similar obligations as provided for in Section III, any vested Units shall be paid by the Company in Shares (on a one-to-one basis) on, or as soon as practicable after, and in any event within 90 days after the

4

applicable Vesting Date, which for purposes of this Section II, includes the date of any accelerated vesting, if any (the “Settlement Period”). (For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Units continue to vest following a Voluntary Termination in accordance with Section 1(d) above, the Vesting Date(s) for purposes of payments pursuant to this Section II shall be the regularly scheduled Vesting Dates following such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that (i) the vesting and settlement of Units is conditioned on your execution and delivery of a release and (ii) the Settlement Period commences in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the Units will be paid in the second calendar year. Shares issued in respect of a Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services actually rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate or for its benefit for which you have not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.

III. Tax Withholding; Issuance of Certificates. Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax Obligations”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Units, including the grant of the Units, the vesting of Units, the conversion of the Units into Shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to your Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer; or

(b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting or payment of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting or payment of the Units, provided that the Company and your Employer shall only withhold an amount of Shares with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.

5

To avoid adverse accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations not to exceed the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates. If the Tax Obligations are satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan (any Shares withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).

Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. You agree to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section III. Notwithstanding Section II above, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

IV. Dividend Equivalents

(a) Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Section IV, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on each Unit granted to you under this Agreement in the manner set forth in the remainder of this Section IV. If the Company declares one or more dividends or distributions (each, a “Dividend”) on its Common Stock with a record date which occurs during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the day immediately preceding the day the shares of Common Stock subject to the Units are issued to you, whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property, then on the date such Dividend is paid to the Company’s stockholders you shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount or fair market value of such Dividend which would have been payable to you if you held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your Units as of the record date for such Dividend, unless the Units have been forfeited between the record date and payment date for such Dividend. Any such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited and deemed reinvested in the Common Stock as of the Dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in full shares of Common Stock, unless the Administrator determines, at any time prior to payment and in its discretion, that they shall be payable in cash. Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in cash.

(b) Treatment of Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section VI, any Dividend Equivalents credited to you shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement which apply to the Units with respect to which they have been credited and shall be payable, if at all, at the time and to the extent that the underlying Unit becomes payable. Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable on any Units that do not vest, or are forfeited, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

V. Transferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the Shares that are scheduled to be issued to you hereunder shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such

6

attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, your or your beneficiary’s debts, contracts, liabilities or torts; provided, however, nothing in this Section V shall prevent transfer (i) by will or (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

VI. Notices. Any notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be given in writing or electronically and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at such address as is currently maintained in the Company’s records or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator. Such notices may be given using any automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, as approved by the Company.

VII. Plan. This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, which provisions are hereby made a part of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Plan relating to Restricted Stock Units, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

VIII. Governing Law. The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises hereunder, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of the State of Delaware, or the federal courts for the United States for the federal district located in the State of Delaware, and no other courts, where this Agreement is made and/or to be performed.

IX. Code Section 409A. The time and form of payment of the Units is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Accordingly, no acceleration or deferral of any payment shall be permitted if it would cause the payment of the Units to violate Code Section 409A. In addition, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Grant Date, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) determines that it may be necessary or appropriate to do so, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Plan and/or the Units from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to this Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not create an obligation on the part of the Committee to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the right to receive payment of Units at each Vesting Date shall be treated as a right to receive separate and distinct payments.

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(e) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(f) the grant of Units and the Shares subject to the Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i) in consideration of the grant of Units hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of Units, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from

8

termination of your employment by the Company or an Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

(j) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company;

(k) the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States:

(ii) you acknowledge and agree that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

XII. No Advice Regarding Award.

You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

XIII. Compliance with Laws.

9

c. to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, the payment of any earned Units shall be made in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s election; and

d. the Company may take any other action, before or after an award of Units is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Shares issuable upon vesting of the Unit shall not be issued unless such Shares are then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

XIV. Data Privacy and Notice of Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, your Employer, the Company, and Affiliates of the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You authorize your Employer, the Company, Affiliates of the Company, Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB, or any successor thereto, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to any other broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon vesting of the Units may be deposited.

Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.

APPENDIX A

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

AMGEN INC. 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(BY COUNTRY)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern any Units granted under the Plan if, under applicable law, you are a resident of, or are deemed to be a resident of one of the countries listed below. Furthermore, the additional terms and conditions that govern any Units granted hereunder may apply to you if you relocate to one of the countries listed below and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to you. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the countries to which this Appendix refers as of February 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be outdated when you vest in the Units and acquire Shares under the Plan, or when you subsequently sell Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation. Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you or you may be subject to the provisions of one or more jurisdictions.

By accepting any Units granted hereunder and participating in the Plan, you acknowledge having read and understood this Securities Law Notification and further acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

The insider could be any employee of an Affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at an Affiliate in the Netherlands (including persons eligible to participate in the Plan) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant any Units under the Plan to individuals who may be members of the Board, Employees or Consultants of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision, which is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Units granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement, including this Appendix. Consequently, you understand that the Units granted hereunder are given on the assumption and condition that they shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of Units since the future value of the Units and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that any Units granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Units or right to Units shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Units is expressly conditioned your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section I of the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or an Affiliate; or (5) your employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of your employment for any of the above reasons, you may automatically lose any rights to Units that were not vested on the date of your termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in Section I of the Agreement.

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section III of the Agreement:

You agree that if you do not pay or your Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of Tax Obligations that you owe at issuance of Shares in respect of the Units, or the release or assignment of the Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld and/or paid shall constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official rate of HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter (subject to Section III of the Agreement) by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by your Employer, by withholding in Shares issued in respect of the Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, as amended from time to time, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and Tax Obligations are not collected from you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax Obligations may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you are responsible for reporting and paying these potential additional taxes under the self-assessment regime.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Units granted hereunder, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”), which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the Units and/or payment of the Units and issuance of Shares pursuant to the Units, the assignment or release of the Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Units.

Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for your Employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold such Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in Section III of the Agreement.

APPENDIX A-17

Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the Units, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.

PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT

THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS ARE FOUND IN THE PAGES RELATING TO THE GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS FOUND ON MERRILL LYNCH BENEFITS WEBSITE (OR THE WEBSITE OF ANY SUCCESSOR COMPANY TO MERRILL LYNCH BANK & TRUST CO., FSB) (THE “AWARD NOTICE”) WHICH ACCOMPANIES THIS DOCUMENT. THE TERMS OF THE AWARD NOTICE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT.

On the Grant Date specified in the Award Notice, Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you, the grantee named in the Award Notice, under the plan specified in the Award Notice (the “Plan”), the Number of Performance Units (the “Performance Units”) specified in the Award Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Unit Agreement (and any applicable special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the attached Appendix A (as described in greater detail in Section XV below)) (collectively, this “Agreement”), the Plan, the Amgen Inc. 2009 Performance Award Program (the “Program”) and the Resolutions (as defined below). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Program.

I. Performance Period. The Performance Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Award Notice.

II. Value of Performance Units. The value of each Performance Unit is equal to a share of Common Stock.

III. Performance Goals. An amount of the Performance Units up to the maximum amount specified in the Resolutions shall be earned, depending on the extent to which the Company achieves objectively determinable Performance Goals established by the Committee pursuant to the Resolutions. The Performance Units earned shall be calculated in accordance with the Resolutions and the Program.

IV. Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to Section XIV and except as set forth in the Program, for any Performance Units earned pursuant to Section III above, the specified payment date applicable to such Performance Units shall be the year immediately following the end of the Performance Period. Shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Performance Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services actually rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate or for its benefit for which you have not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.

V. Issuance of Certificates; Tax Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and the Program and legally applicable to you (the “Tax Obligations”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations

1

is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units, including the grant of the Performance Units, the vesting of the Performance Units, the conversion of the Performance Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Obligations or to achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to your Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/ or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer; or

(b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Performance Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Units provided that the Company and your Employer shall only withhold an amount of shares of Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.

To avoid adverse accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations not to exceed the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates. If the Tax Obligations are satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the earned Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan (any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).

Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan and the Program that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. You agree to take any further actions and to execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section V. Notwithstanding Section IV above, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

VI. Dividend Equivalents

(a) Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Section VI, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on each Performance Unit granted to you under this Agreement in the manner set forth in the remainder of this Section VI. If the Company declares one or more dividends or distributions (each, a “Dividend”) on its Common Stock with a record date which occurs during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the day immediately preceding the day the shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Units are issued to you, whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property, then as of the date the number of Performance Units payable to you pursuant to the terms this Agreement are determined and payable, you shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount or fair market value of such Dividend which would have been payable to you if you held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Performance Units payable to you as of each such record date for each such Dividend (not including on any Performance Units which were previously paid or forfeited) as if each such amount had been reinvested in Common Stock as of the date of the payment of such Dividend. Each such Dividend Equivalent shall be deemed to have been reinvested in the Common Stock as of the Dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in full shares of Common Stock, unless the Administrator determines, at any time prior to payment and in its discretion, that they shall be payable in cash. Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in cash.

(b) Treatment of Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section VI any Dividend Equivalents credited to you shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement which apply to the Performance Units with respect to which they have been credited and shall be payable, if at all, at the time and to the extent that the underlying Performance Unit becomes payable. Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable on any Performance Units that do not vest, or are forfeited, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

VII. Termination of Your Employment During Performance Period.

(a) In the event that your employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to the last business day of a Performance Period by reason of your Voluntary Retirement and you are Retirement-Eligible on the date of such termination, the full amount of your Award, if any, applicable to such Performance Period, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Performance Program. For purposes of the foregoing, your Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall be determined based on the Company’s performance as compared to the Performance Goals for such Performance Period and the full amount of the Award shall be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be entitled to your Award pursuant to this Section VII(a), unless either you sign a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and deliver it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided, however, that in no event shall payment of your Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Performance Program.

3

(b) In the event that your employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to the last business day of a Performance Period by reason of your death or Permanent and Total Disability, your Award, if any, applicable to such Performance Period, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Performance Program. For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of your Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall be determined based on the Company’s performance as compared to the Performance Goals for such Performance Period and the full amount of such Award shall be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated due to your Permanent and Total Disability, you shall not be entitled to your Award pursuant to this Section VII(b), unless either you sign a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and deliver it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided, however, that in no event shall payment of your Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Performance Program.

(c) In the event that your employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to the last business day of a Performance Period for any reason other than as specified in Section VII(a) and Section VII(b) above, all of your rights to an Award for such Performance Period shall be forfeited, unless, prior to the payment date described in Article VI of the Performance Program, the Company, in its sole discretion, makes a written determination to otherwise pay the full amount of your Award, if any, applicable to such Performance Period, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Performance Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be entitled to your Award pursuant to this Section VII(c), unless either your sign a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and deliver it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided, however, that in no event shall payment of your Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Performance Program.

(d) In the event that your employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated on or after the last business day of the applicable Performance Period but prior to the Determination Date for any reason, you shall be paid the amount of any Award applicable to such Performance Period in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Performance Program.

VIII. Nontransferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the shares of Common Stock that may become issuable to you hereunder shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, your or your beneficiary’s debts, contracts, liabilities or torts; provided, however, nothing in this Section VIII shall prevent transfer (i) by will or (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

IX. No Contract for Employment. This Agreement is not an employment or service contract with the Company or an Affiliate and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate.

X. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant of Performance Units, you acknowledge that:

(a) the Plan and the Program are established voluntarily by the Company, are discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and in the Program;

(b) the grant of the Performance Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) your participation in the Plan and the Program shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(e) your participation in the Plan and the Program is voluntary;

(f) the grant of Performance Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(g) neither the grant of Performance Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan, the Program or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan or Program confer upon you any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company;

(h) the future value of the shares of Common Stock that may be earned upon the end of the Performance Period is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i) in consideration of the grant of Performance Units hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

(j) in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive Performance Units and receive shares under the Plan and the Program, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law);

5

(k) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Performance Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and

(l) the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States:

XI. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program before taking any action related thereto.

XII. Notices. Any notices provided for in this Agreement, the Plan or the Program shall be given in writing or electronically and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at such address as is currently maintained in the Company’s records or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator.

XIII. Resolutions, Plan and Program. This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Resolutions, the Plan and the Program and their provisions are hereby made a part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the provisions of

6

Articles 5 and 9 of the Plan (relating to Performance-Based Compensation and Performance Awards, respectively) and Section 13.2 of the Plan (relating to adjustments upon changes in the Common Stock), and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Resolutions, the Plan and the Program, the provisions of the Plan shall control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program to the contrary, any earned Performance Units paid in cash rather than shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan.

XIV. No Compensation Deferral. The Performance Units are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (together with the regulations and official guidance promulgated thereunder, the “Code”). However, if at any time the Committee determines that the Performance Units may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and without your prior consent to amend the Program as it may determine is necessary or desirable either for the Performance Units to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including by adding conditions with respect to the vesting and/or the payment of the Performance Units, provided that no such amendment may change the Program’s “performance goals,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any person who is a “covered employee,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such amendment to the Program may in the Committee’s sole discretion apply retroactively to this award of Performance Units.

XV. Provisions Applicable to Participants in Foreign Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program to the contrary, if you are employed by the Company or an Affiliate in any of the countries identified in the attached Appendix A (which constitutes a part of this Agreement), are subject to the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, or relocate to one of the countries included in the attached Appendix A, your award of Performance Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for such country set forth in Appendix A and to the following additional terms and conditions:

(a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Appendix A, are deemed modified to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with applicable foreign laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan and the Program;

(b) if applicable, the effectiveness of your Award is conditioned upon its compliance with any applicable foreign laws, regulations, rules or local governmental regulatory exemption and subject to receipt of any required foreign regulatory approvals;

(c) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, the payment of any earned Performance Units shall be made in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s election; and

7

(d) the Committee may take any other action, before or after an award of Performance Units is made, that it deems necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no award of Performance Units shall be granted, that would violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Code, or any other securities or tax or other applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the shares issuable upon vesting of the Performance Units shall not be issued unless such shares are then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

XVI. Data Privacy and Notice of Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, and any Affiliates of the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program.

You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (to the extent permitted under applicable local law) or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, residency status, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity compensation or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Program (“Data”).

You understand that Data may be transferred to Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (or any successor thereto), any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and the Program, that these recipients may be located in your country, or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Employer, the Company, Affiliates of the Company, Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (or any successor thereto), and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares received upon vesting of the Performance Units may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan and the Program. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require

8

any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Performance Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan and the Program. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS

(BY COUNTRY)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern any Performance Units granted under the Plan if, under applicable law, you are a resident of, or are deemed to be a resident of one of the countries listed below. Furthermore, the additional terms and conditions that govern the Performance Units granted hereunder may apply to you if you relocate to one of the countries listed below and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to you. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the countries to which this Appendix refers as of February 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be outdated when you acquire shares of Common Stock under the Plan, or when you subsequently sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation. Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you or you may be subject to the provisions of one or more jurisdictions.

Securities Law Information. You should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact your ability to sell shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Award. In particular, you may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if you have insider information regarding the Company.

By accepting the Award granted hereunder and participating in the Plan and the Program, you acknowledge having read and understood this Securities Law Notification and further acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules:

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to the issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public, and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of an Affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at an Affiliate in the Netherlands (including persons eligible to participate in the Plan and the Program) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

Consequently, you understand that the Award granted hereunder is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of the Award since the future value of the Award and any shares of Common Stock that may be issued in respect of such Award is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that the Award granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Award or right to the Award shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Performance Units is expressly conditioned your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Performance Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section I of the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or

Appendix- 15

any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or an Affiliate; or (5) your employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of your employment for any of the above reasons, you may automatically lose any rights to Performance Units that were not vested on the date of your termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section I of the Agreement.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information. The Performance Units and the Shares described in the Agreement and this Appendix do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Appendix) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Exchange Control Information. When receiving foreign currency payments exceeding €50,000 derived from the ownership of Shares acquired under the Plan (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), you must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. You will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) your name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment and the currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) further information that may be required.

If you acquire Shares under the Plan, you must declare the acquisition to the Direccion General de Comercio e Inversiones (“DGCI”). If you acquire the shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGCI for you; otherwise, you will be required to make the declaration by filing a D-6 form. You must also declare ownership of any shares with the DGCI each January while the Shares are owned.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section V of the Agreement:

You agree that if you do not pay or your Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of Tax Obligations that you owe due at issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, or the release or assignment of the Performance Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld and/or paid shall constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official rate of HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding (subject to Section V of the Agreement) the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by your Employer, by withholding in shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Performance Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or by demanding cash or a check from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, as amended), from time to time, the terms of the

Appendix- 17

immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and Tax Obligations are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax Obligations may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you are responsible for reporting and paying these potential additional taxes under the self-assessment regime.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Award, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the earning and/or payment of the Performance Units and issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, the assignment or release of the Performance Units for consideration or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units.

Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for your employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold such Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in Section V of the Agreement.

Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the Performance Units, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Nature of Grant. The following provision replaces Section X(j) of the Award Agreement:

(j) in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive Performance Units and receive shares under the Plan and the Program, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed; provided, however, that such right will be extended by any notice period mandated by law (e.g. the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) notice period or similar periods pursuant to local law) and any paid administrative leave (as applicable), unless the Company shall provide you with written notice otherwise before the commencement of such notice period or leave. In such event, payment of the Performance Units shall be made in accordance with Section IV.

Income taxes [Abstract]

Income taxes

3. Income taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are different from the federal statutory rates primarily as a result of indefinitely invested earnings of our foreign operations. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were further reduced by foreign tax credits associated with the Puerto Rico excise tax described below. The federal R&D tax credit expired as of December 31, 2011, and was not reinstated as of June 30, 2012. Therefore our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, do not include a benefit for the federal R&D tax credit.

Commencing January 1, 2011, Puerto Rico imposes a temporary excise tax on the purchase of goods and services from a related manufacturer in Puerto Rico. The excise tax is imposed on the gross intercompany purchase price of the goods and services and is effective for a six-year period beginning in 2011, with the excise tax rate declining in each year (4% in 2011, 3.75% in 2012, 2.75% in 2013, 2.5% in 2014, 2.25% in 2015 and 1% in 2016). We account for the excise tax as a manufacturing cost that is capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of sales when the related products are sold. For U.S. income tax purposes, the excise tax results in foreign tax credits that are generally recognized in our provision for income taxes when the excise tax is incurred. Our effective tax rates without the impact of the excise tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, would have been 18.5% and 18.6%, respectively, compared with 18.4% and 18.6% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

One or more of our legal entities file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax returns are routinely audited by the tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2006, or to California state income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2003.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the gross amount of our uncertain tax benefits (UTBs) increased by approximately $75 million and $150 million, respectively, as a result of tax positions taken during the current year. Substantially all of the UTBs as of June 30, 2012, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2012, we believe it is reasonably possible that our gross liabilities for UTBs may decrease by approximately $330 million within the succeeding 12 months due to the resolution of federal and state audits.

2. Business combinations

Micromet, Inc.

On March 7, 2012, we acquired Micromet, Inc. (Micromet), a publicly held biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative antibody-based therapies for the treatment of cancer, that became a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen. This transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to further expand our oncology pipeline. Micromet’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

The consideration to acquire Micromet totaled $1,146 million in cash which was allocated to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in millions):

Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
In-process research and development (IPR&D)	$	440
Contract assets		170
Finite-lived intangible assets — Developed technology		350
Goodwill		330
Cash and marketable securities		154
Deferred tax assets		43
Deferred tax liabilities		(317	)
Other assets (liabilities), net		(24	)
Total consideration	$	1,146

The estimated fair value of acquired IPR&D is related to blinatumomab which is in phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The estimated fair value was determined using a probability-weighted income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset. The projected cash flows from blinatumomab were based on certain assumptions, including estimates of future revenues and expenses, the time and resources needed to complete development and the probabilities of obtaining marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies. IPR&D intangible assets acquired in a business combination are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development (R&D) efforts.

The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of development and commercialization of blinatumomab include our ability to confirm its safety and efficacy based on data from clinical trials, our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and our ability to successfully complete these tasks within budgeted costs. We are not permitted to market a human therapeutic without obtaining regulatory approvals, and such approvals require completing clinical trials that demonstrate a product candidate is safe and effective. Consequently, the eventual realized value of the acquired IPR&D may vary from its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimated incremental R&D costs to be incurred to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for blinatumomab are not material in any given year.

Contract assets represent the aggregate estimated fair values of receiving future milestone and royalty payments associated with various outlicensing arrangements entered into by Micromet prior to our acquisition of this company. The fair values of these contracts were determined by estimating the probability-weighted net cash flows associated with the agreements that may be received from the other parties discounted to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value these intangible assets. These contract assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and their assigned values will be expensed when the related revenues are earned or the associated R&D efforts are abandoned by the licensees.

The developed technology acquired relates to Micromet’s bi-specific T-cell engager technology platform which has produced various product candidates that are currently being developed as cancer treatments by Micromet and others and may lead to the development of additional product candidates. The fair value of this technology was determined by estimating the probability-weighted net cash flows attributable to this technology discounted to present value using a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset. The fair value of this technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

The excess of the acquisition date consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of $330 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was revised by $38 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to the recognition of $43 million in deferred tax assets related to the adjustment of tax attributes acquired. Goodwill is attributable primarily to expected synergies and other benefits from combining Micromet with our oncology development and commercialization activities and the deferred tax consequences of indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets recorded for financial statement purposes.

Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of our analysis to determine the acquisition date fair values of certain liabilities assumed and tax related items acquired.

Mustafa Nevzat Pharmaceuticals

On June 12, 2012, we acquired 99.4% of the outstanding stock of Mustafa Nevzat Pharmaceuticals (MN), a privately held company that is a leading supplier of pharmaceuticals to the hospital sector and a major supplier of injectable medicines in Turkey. This transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with the opportunity to expand our presence in Turkey and the surrounding region. MN’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

The consideration to acquire MN totaled $677 million in cash which was allocated to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in millions):

Finite-lived intangible assets	$	163
Property, plant and equipment		100
Trade receivables		79
Inventories		52
Goodwill		370
Deferred tax liabilities		(41	)
Other assets (liabilities), net		(46	)
Total consideration	$	677

The finite-lived intangible assets acquired are related primarily to the fair values of MN’s regulatory approvals and customer relationships with regard to the marketing of pharmaceutical products and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The weighted average useful life of these intangible assets is eight years.

The excess of the acquisition date consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of $370 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributable primarily to MN’s expected continued commercial presence in Turkey and other benefits.

Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of our analysis to determine the acquisition date fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain tax related items and residual goodwill.

Pro forma supplemental consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, that assume the acquisitions of Micromet and MN occurred on January 1, 2011, are not provided because those results would not be materially different from our reported consolidated results of operations.

In addition to the increase in goodwill for the acquisitions of Micromet and MN discussed above, goodwill decreased by $22 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

KAI Pharmaceuticals

On July 5, 2012, we acquired KAI Pharmaceuticals (KAI), a privately held biotechnology company that is developing KAI-4169, its lead product candidate currently in phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis. This transaction, which will be accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to further expand our nephrology pipeline. Upon its acquisition, KAI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen, and its operations will be included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date. The consideration to acquire KAI is approximately $330 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments.

Given the timing of the closing of this transaction, we are currently in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. As a result, we are not yet able to provide the amounts to be recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and other related disclosures.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Business

Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global biotechnology medicines company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets medicines for grievous illnesses. We concentrate on innovating novel medicines based on advances in cellular and molecular biology, and we operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.

Basis of presentation

The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), which Amgen considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated results of operations for those periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amgen as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any significant interests in any variable interest entities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $6.2 billion and $5.8 billion as of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Comprehensive income

In January 2012, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires additional disclosures for comprehensive income. As permitted under this standard, we have elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of a statement of income followed by a separate statement of comprehensive income. This standard was required to be applied retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012, except for certain provisions for which adoption was delayed.

Cost savings initiatives

Included in Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are charges for certain cost savings initiatives of $69 million and $70 million, respectively.

Fair value measurement [Abstract]

Fair value measurement

11. Fair value measurement

To determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities we use valuation approaches within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1	—	Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access
Level 2	—	Valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than level 1 inputs
Level 3	—	Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement

The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used for measuring fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input used that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of each major class of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was as follows (in millions):

The fair values of our U.S. Treasury securities, money market mutual funds and equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment.

Substantially all of our other government related and corporate debt securities are investment grade with maturity dates of five years or less from the balance sheet date. Our other government related debt securities portfolio is composed of securities with weighted-average credit ratings of AA- by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and AA or equivalent by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch); and our corporate debt securities portfolio has a weighted-average credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P and Moody’s and A by Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.

Our residential mortgage-, other mortgage- and asset-backed securities portfolio is composed entirely of senior tranches, with credit ratings of AAA or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.

Substantially all of our foreign currency forward and option derivatives contracts have maturities primarily over a three year time horizon and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates. In addition, inputs for our foreign currency option contracts also include implied volatility measures. These inputs, where applicable, are at commonly quoted intervals. (See Note 12, Derivative instruments.)

Our cross currency swap contracts are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, LIBOR, swap rates, obligor credit default swap rates and cross currency basis swap spreads. (See Note 12, Derivative instruments.)

All our interest rate swap contracts were terminated during the three months ended June 30, 2012 (see Note 12, Derivative instruments). While outstanding, our interest rate swap contracts were with counterparties that had a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs were observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include LIBOR, swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates.

As a result of our acquisition of Biovex Group, Inc. in March 2011, we are obligated to pay its former shareholders up to $575 million of additional consideration contingent upon achieving up to eight separate regulatory and sales related milestones with regard to talimogene laherparepvec, which was acquired in the acquisition and is currently in phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of malignant melanoma. The three largest of these potential payments are $125 million each, including the amount due upon completing the filing of a Biologics License Application with the FDA. Potential payments are also due upon the first commercial sale in each of the United States and the European Union following receipt of marketing approval which includes use of the product in specified patient populations and upon achieving specified levels of sales within specified periods of time.

These contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value measurements of these obligations are based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving the related regulatory events in connection with these milestones and, as applicable, estimated annual sales. Significant changes (increases or decreases) in these inputs would result in corresponding changes in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations.

Annually, or whenever there are significant changes in underlying key assumptions, we estimate the fair values of these contingent consideration obligations by using a combination of probability adjusted discounted cash flows, option pricing techniques and a simulation model of expected annual sales. Quarterly, a review of key assumptions is performed by management in our R&D and commercial sales organizations. In the absence of any significant changes in key assumptions, the quarterly determination of fair values of these contingent consideration obligations reflects the passage of time and changes in our credit risk adjusted rate used to discount obligations to present value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in underlying key assumptions, and the increases in the estimated aggregate fair value of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, were recorded in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels, and there were no material remeasurements to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Summary of the fair value of other financial instruments

Borrowings

We estimate the fair values of our convertible notes (Level 2) by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly, including benchmark yields adjusted for our credit risk. The fair value of our convertible notes represents only the liability components of these instruments, as their equity components are included in Common stock and additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair values of our other long-term notes (Level 2) by taking into consideration indicative prices obtained from a third party financial institution that utilizes industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; credit spreads; benchmark yields; foreign exchange rates, as applicable; and other observable inputs. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair values of our long-term debt were $26.9 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively, and the carrying values were $24.4 billion and $21.4 billion, respectively.

Derivative instruments [Abstract]

Derivative instruments

12. Derivative instruments

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks related to its business operations. To reduce our risks related to these exposures, we utilize certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward, foreign currency option, cross currency swap, forward interest rate and interest rate swap contracts. We do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

Cash flow hedges

We are exposed to possible changes in the values of certain anticipated foreign currency cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, associated primarily with our euro denominated international product sales. Increases and decreases in the cash flows associated with our international product sales due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates are offset partially by the corresponding increases and decreases in our international operating expenses resulting from these foreign currency exchange rate movements. To further reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international product sales, we enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge a portion of our projected international product sales primarily over a three-year time horizon, with, at any given point in time, a higher percentage of nearer-term projected product sales being hedged than in successive periods. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $3.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and open foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts of $190 million and $292 million, respectively. These foreign currency forward and option contracts, primarily euro based, have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

In order to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our pound sterling denominated long-term notes issued in 2011, we entered into cross currency swap contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest payments in pounds sterling at a fixed rate of 5.5% on £475 million and pay interest in U.S. dollars at a fixed rate of 5.8% on $748 million, the aggregate notional amounts paid to/received from the counterparties upon exchange of currencies at the inception of these contracts. We will pay U.S. dollars to, and receive pounds sterling from, the counterparties at the maturity of the contracts for the same notional amounts. The terms of these contracts correspond to the related hedged notes, effectively converting the interest payments and principal repayment on these notes from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars. These cross currency swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged debt affects earnings.

In connection with the anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate debt, we occasionally enter into forward interest rate contracts in order to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in the applicable Treasury rate between the time we enter into these contracts and the time the related debt is issued. Gains and losses on such contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are reported in AOCI and amortized into earnings over the lives of the associated debt issuances.

The effective portion of the unrealized gain/(loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows (in millions):

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships	2012			2011			2012			2011

Forward interest rate contracts		(7	)		—			(7	)		—
Total	$	147		$	(21	)	$	68		$	(218	)

The location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the effective portion of the gain/(loss) reclassified from AOCI into earnings for our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows (in millions):

		Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships	Statements of Income location	2012			2011			2012			2011
Foreign currency contracts	Product sales	$	18		$	(33	)	$	29		$	(41	)

Forward interest rate contracts	Interest expense, net		(1	)		—			(1	)		—
Total		$	—		$	(33	)	$	24		$	(41	)

No portions of our cash flow hedge contracts are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were approximately $1 million of gains for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and no net gain or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were approximately $1 million of losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the amounts expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months are approximately $93 million of net gains on our foreign currency and cross currency swap contracts and approximately $1 million of losses on forward interest rate contracts.

Fair value hedges

To achieve a desired mix of fixed and floating interest rates on our long-term debt, we entered into interest rate swap contracts, which qualified and were designated as fair value hedges. The terms of these interest rate swap contracts corresponded to the related hedged debt instruments and effectively converted a fixed interest rate coupon to a floating LIBOR-based coupon over the lives of the respective notes. While outstanding, the rates on these swaps ranged from LIBOR plus 0.3% to LIBOR plus 2.6%. As of December 31, 2011, we had interest rate swap contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $3.6 billion with respect to our 4.85% 2014 Notes, 5.85% 2017 Notes, 6.15% 2018 Notes and 5.70% 2019 Notes. Due to historically low interest rates, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we terminated all of these interest rate swap contracts resulting in the receipt of $397 million from the counterparties, which was included in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the current year period. This amount will be recognized in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the remaining lives of the related debt issuances.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative resulting from the change in fair value during the period as well as the offsetting unrealized loss or gain of the hedged item resulting from the change in fair value during the period attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in current earnings. While the interest rate swaps were outstanding, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $38 million and $20 million, respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $38 million and $20 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swap contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $84 million and $37 million, respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $84 million and $37 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swap agreements.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These exposures are hedged on a month-to-month basis. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the total notional amounts of these foreign currency forward contracts were $408 million and $389 million, respectively.

The location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the amount of gain/(loss) recognized in earnings for our derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in millions):

Our derivative contracts that were in liability positions as of June 30, 2012, contain certain credit risk related contingent provisions that would be triggered if (i) we were to undergo a change in control and (ii) our or the surviving entity’s creditworthiness deteriorates, which is generally defined as having either a credit rating that is below investment grade or a materially weaker creditworthiness after the change in control. If these events were to occur, the counterparties would have the right, but not the obligation, to close the contracts under early-termination provisions. In such circumstances, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of these contracts for amounts that approximate the then current fair values of the contracts.

The cash flow effects of our derivatives contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, realized gains totaled $49 million and $48 million, and realized losses totaled $11 million and $5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, realized gains totaled $116 million and $137 million, and realized losses totaled $30 million and $13 million, respectively. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits debt security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.

We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below our cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security, including any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we believe the cost bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.

Collaborative arrangements

5. Collaborative arrangements

AstraZeneca Plc.

In March 2012, we entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca Plc. (AstraZeneca) to jointly develop and commercialize certain monoclonal antibodies from Amgen’s clinical inflammation portfolio, including brodalumab (AMG 827), AMG 139, AMG 157, AMG 181 and AMG 557. The agreement covers the worldwide development and commercialization, except for certain Asian countries for brodalumab and Japan for AMG 557, that are licensed to other third parties.

Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 65% of related development costs for the 2012-2014 periods will be funded by AstraZeneca, thereafter, the companies will share costs equally. If approved for sale, Amgen would receive a low single-digit royalty rate for brodalumab and a mid single-digit royalty rate for the rest of the portfolio, after which the worldwide commercialization profits and losses related to the collaboration would be shared equally. In connection with the transfer of technology rights, Amgen received a payment of $50 million which was recognized in Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cost recoveries recognized for development costs incurred under this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were not material.

The collaboration agreement will continue in effect unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited

In 2008, we entered into an arrangement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda), that provided Takeda both: (a) the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize for the Japanese market up to 12 molecules from our portfolio across a range of therapeutic areas, including oncology and inflammation (collectively the “Japanese market products”) and (b) the right to collaborate with us on the worldwide (outside of Japan) development and commercialization of our product candidate, motesanib. The Japanese market products include Vectibix ^® and certain product candidates. In connection with this 2008 arrangement, we received upfront payments of $300 million that were deferred and were being recognized as Other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income over the estimated period of continuing involvement of approximately 20 years. In June 2012, this agreement was modified and as of the date of modification, $230 million of this deferred revenue was on the balance sheet.

In 2011, we announced that the motesanib pivotal phase 3 trial (MONET1) had not met its primary objective of demonstrating an improvement in overall survival.

In June 2012, the parties materially modified this arrangement such that Amgen licensed all of its rights to motesanib to Takeda which now has control over the worldwide development and commercialization of motesanib. As a result of this modification, we will no longer participate in the development of motesanib and our obligations with respect to motesanib are limited primarily to closing the MONET1 clinical trial and transitioning certain existing development data and manufacturing capabilities (collectively “transition services”) from our contract manufacturer to Takeda. In exchange for licensing motesanib to Takeda, we received an additional upfront payment of $3 million and will receive incremental cost recoveries of approximately $21 million. We may also receive substantive success-based regulatory approval milestones and royalties on global sales of motesanib, if approved for sale, that are substantially lower than those under the 2008 agreement.

Upon the modification of the arrangement, we determined that the remaining deliverables are: (i) the additional license rights to motesanib granted to Takeda and related transition services, (ii) commercial supply of Vectibix ^® and (iii) clinical and commercial supply and data relating to certain development activities, to the extent undertaken by Amgen, for the Japanese market products other than Vectibix^®. We considered several factors in determining whether stand-alone value exists for each deliverable, including the rights and ability to perform the R&D activities, as well as the ability of parties to use a third party to perform their respective designated activities under the arrangement. The estimated selling prices for the undelivered items were determined by using third party evidence and best estimate of selling price (BESP) where applicable as of the date of modification. BESP was primarily determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fixed or determinable arrangement consideration was allocated to the undelivered items based on the relative selling price method and will be recognized as the services are performed or product is delivered. This amount was deducted from the sum of the consideration to be received in the future plus deferred revenue from the original 2008 arrangement as of the date of the modification of $230 million with the remainder of $206 million recognized as Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, we may also receive royalties and numerous individually immaterial milestones aggregating $337 million upon the achievement of various substantive success-based development and regulatory approval milestones. The receipt of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events that have a high degree of uncertainty of occurring.

Contingencies and commitments [Abstract]

Contingencies and commitments

13. Contingencies and commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and other matters, including those discussed in this Note, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. See Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and Note 13, Contingencies and commitments to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, for further discussion of certain of our legal proceedings and other matters.

We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that has been accrued previously. Excluding fees paid to our external counsel, as of June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $789 million associated with the previously-announced proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the federal civil and criminal investigations pending in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Eastern District of New York and the Western District of Washington (the Federal Investigations), including $780 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2011, and accrued interest potentially due on the proposed settlement.

Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to a class action with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including but not limited to patent infringement, marketing, pricing and trade practices and securities law), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. Except for the proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the Federal Investigations, in each of the matters described in this filing, in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, or in Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, plaintiffs seek an award of a not-yet-quantified amount of damages or an amount that is not material. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, except for the proposed settlement of the allegations arising out of the Federal Investigations, none of the matters described in these filings have progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss, if any, or such amounts are not material. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending, including further adverse determinations associated with the pending investigations described above, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and other matters are discussed below:

Co-Pay Litigation

As previously reported, on April 12, 2012, the plaintiffs in American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 37 Health & Security Plan v. Amgen Inc., a class action lawsuit pending against Amgen and Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer), joined a motion filed by other plaintiffs seeking to transfer and consolidate into a federal Multidistrict Litigation proceeding several similar lawsuits pending against a number of pharmaceutical companies. The lawsuits generally challenge the legality of the companies’ co-pay assistance programs.

Six additional lawsuits were subsequently filed by several plaintiffs against Merck & Co., Inc., Pfizer and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. Amgen has not been named as a defendant in any of these subsequent actions (collectively, the Follow On Cases). The plaintiffs in the Follow On Cases moved to be included as part of the motions for consolidated federal Multidistrict Litigation described above. A hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation was held on July 26, 2012, and the motions for consolidation were denied on August 2, 2012.

Average Wholesale Price Litigation

State of Louisiana v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., et al.

In May 2012, this state price reporting lawsuit brought by the State of Louisiana against Amgen and other pharmaceutical companies was settled as to Amgen and the State of Louisiana for an immaterial amount. The Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District, approved the settlement and dismissed the case against Amgen with prejudice.

Federal Securities Litigation — In re Amgen Inc. Securities Litigation

On June 11, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Amgen’s petition for certiorari to address various issues related to the plaintiffs’ ability to obtain class certification in this securities class action lawsuit pending against Amgen. Oral argument is set for November 5, 2012.

State Derivative Litigation

Birch v. Sharer, et al.

After briefing and oral argument on the appeal, on June 21, 2012, the California State Appellate Court reversed the decision of the Complex Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which had dismissed with prejudice this stockholder derivative lawsuit pending against Amgen and the individual defendants. The California State Appellate Court is due to issue its order returning this case to the Complex Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court by August 21, 2012.

Government Investigations and Qui Tam Actions

As part of the discussions relating to the proposed settlement of the Federal Investigations, Amgen was made aware that it is a defendant in several other civil qui tam actions. These other qui tam actions are in addition to the Qui Tam Actions described in Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. One of these other qui tam actions, U.S. ex rel. May v. Amgen, et al. was filed by Samuel May on June 6, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and was unsealed in connection with it being dismissed by the court on January 5, 2012, for failure to prosecute the matter. The remaining other qui tam actions remain under seal in the U.S. federal courts in which they were filed. Included with these other actions (including the May action) are allegations that Amgen’s promotional, contracting, sales and marketing activities and arrangements relating to Enbrel ^®, Aranesp^®, NEUPOGEN ^®, Neulasta ^®, XGEVA^®, Prolia ^®, Vectibix ^® and Nplate^® caused the submission of various false claims under the Federal Civil False Claims Act and various State False Claims Acts. Certain of the allegations in these remaining other actions are not encompassed in the proposed settlement described above, and Amgen intends to cooperate fully with the government in its investigation of these new allegations. Amgen continues to explore with the government whether these remaining matters will be resolved in connection with the proposed settlement discussed above.

U.S. ex rel. Streck v. Allergan, et al.

On May 18, 2012, a hearing was held on defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s fourth amended complaint in this Federal Civil False Claims Act lawsuit against Amgen and other pharmaceutical manufacturers in which the federal government had declined to intervene. On July 3, 2012, the complaint against Amgen was dismissed with prejudice.

Earnings per share [Abstract]

Earnings per share

4. Earnings per share

The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which include principally shares that may be issued under: our stock option, restricted stock and performance unit awards, determined using the treasury stock method; our outstanding convertible notes, as discussed below; and our outstanding warrants (collectively “dilutive securities”). The convertible note hedges purchased in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always anti-dilutive.

Upon conversion of our convertible notes, the principal amount would be settled in cash, and the excess of the conversion value, as defined, over the principal amount may be settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the shares of our common stock potentially issuable with respect to the excess of the notes’ conversion value over their principal amount, if any, are considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the conversion value of our convertible notes was less than the related principal amount, and accordingly, no shares were assumed to be issued for purposes of computing diluted EPS.

The computation for basic and diluted EPS was as follows (in millions, except per-share data):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Income (Numerator):
Net income for basic and diluted EPS	$	1,266	$	1,170	$	2,450	$	2,295
Shares (Denominator):
Weighted-average shares for basic EPS		776		927		783		930
Effect of dilutive securities		9		8		9		8
Weighted-average shares for diluted EPS		785		935		792		938
Basic EPS	$	1.63	$	1.26	$	3.13	$	2.47
Diluted EPS	$	1.61	$	1.25	$	3.09	$	2.45

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were employee stock-based awards, calculated on a weighted-average basis, to acquire 10 million and 11 million shares of our common stock, respectively, that are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there were employee stock-based awards, calculated on a weighted-average basis, to acquire 31 million and 35 million shares of our common stock, respectively, that are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, shares of our common stock that may be issued upon exercise of our warrants are not included in the computation of diluted EPS for any of the periods presented above because their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]

Business

Business

Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global biotechnology medicines company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets medicines for grievous illnesses. We concentrate on innovating novel medicines based on advances in cellular and molecular biology, and we operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), which Amgen considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated results of operations for those periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amgen as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any significant interests in any variable interest entities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $6.2 billion and $5.8 billion as of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income

In January 2012, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires additional disclosures for comprehensive income. As permitted under this standard, we have elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of a statement of income followed by a separate statement of comprehensive income. This standard was required to be applied retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012, except for certain provisions for which adoption was delayed.

Cost savings initiatives

Cost savings initiatives

Included in Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are charges for certain cost savings initiatives of $69 million and $70 million, respectively.
