This document supplements information contained in that certain prospectus of Cephalon, Inc., dated February 15, 2005, as amended and supplemented from time to time, relating to the potential resale from time to time of $112,156,000 zero coupon convertible subordinated notes due June 15, 2033, first putable June 15, 2008 (the “2008 notes”), $164,080,000 zero coupon convertible subordinated notes due June 15, 2033, first putable June 15, 2010 (the “2010 notes”, and together with the 2008 notes, the “notes”), and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, and the potential resale from time to time of these securities 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 the beneficial ownership by the selling securityholders of (i) the 2008 notes and 2010 notes, respectively, and (ii) shares of our common stock, including common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, and the maximum principal amount of the notes and number of shares of common stock that may be offered by the selling securityholders under the prospectus. The percentages of all shares of common stock beneficially owned before and after the resale of the notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes are based on 58,058,099 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 22, 2005. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined “beneficial” ownership of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant, or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. Shares of common stock may also be sold by donees, pledgees or other transferees or successors in interest of the selling securityholders. The following table is based upon information furnished to us by the selling securityholders.

Fidelity Puritan Trust: Fidelity Balanced Fund is a registered investment fund (the “Fund”) advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (“FMR Co.”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.  FMR Co., 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 5,089,179 shares of common stock of Cephalon, Inc. as a result of acting as investment adviser to various investment companies registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Fund does not have, and within the past three years has not had, any position, office or other material relationship with Cephalon, Inc. or any of its predecessors or affiliates.

 

Because the Fund may offer all or some portion of the above referenced notes pursuant to this prospectus supplement or otherwise, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of such notes that will be held by the Fund upon termination of any such sale.  The Fund may sell all, part or none of the notes listed above.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is June 23, 2005.
