Dear BMS shareholders, Our hearts go out to those who have been personally impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and everyone managing through this difficulttime.ThankstoanunprecedentedcollaborationinthebiopharmaindustryanddecadesofinvestmentinR&D,anumberofvaccinesand therapeutics were developed in record time and are being deployed globally to help stop the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As conscientious global citizens, we continue to take steps to protect the health and safety of the public and our global workforce, support relief efforts in communities deeply affected by the virus, and carry out our mission to discover, develop and deliver life-saving medicines for the patients who depend on us. Throughout 2020, we continued to execute very well despite the challenges of the pandemic, delivering strong commercial performance, achieving significant pipeline milestones, and maintaining an uninterrupted supply of our medicines, while integrating our businesses following the closing of the Celgene transaction in November 2019 and building a new company. In our first full year as a new combined company, we achieved: • Strong business performance across oncology, hematology, immunology and cardiovascular; • A 63% increase in total revenues, or 7% on a pro forma basis; • A diluted loss per share of $(3.99), partially due to a $11.4 billion in-process research and development (IPRD) charge for our acquisition of MyoKardia, Inc. and $9.7 billion of intangible asset amortization charges primarily due to our acquisition of Celgene; • A 37% increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (‘‘EPS’’) of $6.44; • The approval of new medicines, including Zeposia for multiple sclerosis, Reblozyl for myelodysplastic syndromes, and Onureg for acute myeloid leukemia and other significant pipeline advances; • Important business development transactions, including the acquisition of MyoKardia, Inc. (‘‘MyoKardia’’), expanding our cardiovascular portfolio; and • A quarterly dividend increase of 9%, marking an increase for the 12th year in a row. We have shaped our company on our values: passion, innovation, urgency, accountability, integrity and inclusion. This was reflected in our response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic started, we rapidly implemented a comprehensive plan to protect the health and safety of our people, many of whom are

These rationally designed new treatment methods have the potential to change the therapeutic landscape in multiple myeloma and improve the long-term survival outcome. Abstract: SeverFigurel cellular elements of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment in multiple myeloma (MM) patients contribute to the immune evasion, proliferation, and drug resistance of MM cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated M2-like, “alter- natively activated” macrophages, CD38+ regulatory B-cells (Bregs), and regulatory T-cells (Tregs). These immunosuppressive elements in bidirectional and multi-directional crosstalk with each other inhibit both memory and cytotoxic effector T-cell populations as well as natural killer (NK) cells.

(NASDAQ: REGN), along with new collaborators AbbVie, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, Biogen and Pfizer Inc., today announced the formation of a major 'pre-competitive' consortium to fund the generation of genetic exome sequence data from the 500,000 volunteer participants who make up the UK Biobank health resource. The newly announced collaborators will each commit $10 million to enable a dramatic acceleration of sequencing timelines, and additional companies are considering joining the consortium. Regeneron will conduct the sequencing effort. The sequencing data will be paired with detailed, de-identified medical and health records within the UK Biobank resource, including enhanced measures such as brain, heart and body imaging, to create an unparalleled resource for linking human genetic variations to human biology and disease. It was originally planned that sequencing of all 500,000 samples in the UK Biobank would be completed by 2022, with the first 50,000 people sequenced during 2017 with funding from Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline.
