Prospectus Supplement No. 4 Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) to Prospectus dated June 5, 2002 File No. 333-82788 CEPHALON, INC. $600,000,000 2-1/2% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2006 This document supplements information contained in that certain prospectus of Cephalon, Inc. dated June 5, 2002, as amended and supplemented from time to time, relating to the potential resale from time to time of $600,000,000 2-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 and 7,407,480 shares of common stock by the selling securityholders identified in the prospectus and any prospectus supplements. This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with the prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. The following table supplements, or amends, as noted, the information contained in the table set forth in the prospectus under the caption "Selling Securityholders." This table sets forth information regarding (1) the beneficial ownership of the notes, and the maximum principal amount of notes that each may offer and (2) the number of shares of common stock that each selling securityholder may sell under this prospectus. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or a portion of the notes and the common stock, if converted, under the prospectus, we cannot estimate with certainty the principal amount of the notes or the common stock that the selling securityholders will hold upon termination of any sale. For this reason, we have assumed that either all of the principal amount of notes offered by a selling securityholder or all of the shares of common stock offered will be sold. The following table is based upon information furnished to us by the selling securityholders as of the date such information was provided to us.
