INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO-I (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I filed by Amgen Inc. (the “Company”) on January 31, 2005, as amended on February 14, 2005 and February 22, 2005 (the “Schedule TO-I”). This Amendment relates to the right of each holder (a “Holder”) of the Company’s Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2032 (the “Securities”) to sell, and the obligation of the Company to purchase, the Securities, as set forth in the Company Notice, dated January 31, 2005 (the “Company Notice”), and the related notice materials filed as exhibits to the Schedule TO-I (which Company Notice and related notice materials, as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Put Option”). The Company Notice and related notice materials are incorporated by reference in this Amendment. This Amendment amends and supplements the Schedule TO-I as set forth below and is intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Put Option expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 1, 2005. The Company has been advised by LaSalle Bank National Association, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), that, pursuant to the terms of the Put Option, Securities with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $1.59 billion were validly surrendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Put Option. The Company has accepted for purchase all of the Securities validly surrendered and not withdrawn. The purchase price for the Securities pursuant to the Put Option was $738.68 in cash per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for all the Securities validly surrendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Put Option was approximately $1.17 billion. The Company has forwarded cash in payment of the purchase price to the Paying Agent to distribute to the Holders. After the purchase pursuant to the Put Option, approximately $2.36 billion principal amount at maturity of the Securities remains outstanding.
