2012 Political Contributions Report March 2013 A Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman, Celgene PAC I am pleased to share Celgene’s first political contributions report, which includes a listing of candidates and political committees supported by either the Celgene Corporation Political Action Committee (Celgene PAC) or Celgene Corporation during 2012. Beginning this year, we will issue political contribution reports twice a year, during the quarter following the end of each half of the year. Celgene established the Celgene PAC in March 2012. The Celgene PAC is a volunteer, nonpartisan, employee-run organization that provides opportunities for eligible employees to participate in the American political process. The Celgene PAC supports and contributes to candidates from both political parties who share our commitment to these core principles of access and innovation in health care: • Expanding access to medicines through a competitive marketplace and a regulatory environment in which innovation can flourish • Protecting the patient-physician relationship and ensuring patient access to innovative treatments • Recognizing the important role of biopharmaceutical companies and their employees in the ecosystem of innovation in health care The Celgene PAC Board of Directors, which is comprised of Celgene employees, meets monthly to consider recommendations for PAC support and approve all contributions to candidates and political committees. The Celgene PAC Board also reviews and approves any political contributions made by Celgene Corporation in states and to entities where contributions with corporate funds are permitted. During 2012, we supported 34 candidates from both political parties at the Federal and State levels. I hope you will take a few moments to review this report and see which candidates the Celgene PAC supported in your state. This year, it will be more important than ever for us to positively and proactively engage elected officials to demonstrate the importance of biomedical innovation and patient access in health care. I am confident that together, we can have a positive impact on the environment for innovation and access on behalf of the patients we serve.
