SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the notes. You should read this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and
therein carefully, especially the risks of investing in the notes discussed in "Risk Factors" below and in the incorporated documents.
Our Company
We are a research-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative medicines in areas of
unmet medical need. With each new discovery and investigational drug candidate, we strive to transform and simplify care for people with
life-threatening illnesses around the world. Gilead's primary areas of focus include human immunodeficiency virus ("HIV"), liver diseases
such as chronic hepatitis C virus ("HCV") infection and chronic hepatitis B virus infection, oncology and inflammation, and serious
cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. We have operations in more than 30 countries worldwide, with headquarters in Foster City,
California. We continue to add to our existing portfolio of products through our internal discovery and clinical development programs and
through a product acquisition and in-licensing strategy.
Our portfolio of marketed products includes Harvoni®, Sovaldi®, Truvada®, Atripla®, Stribild®, Complera®/Eviplera®, Viread®,
Letairis®, Ranexa®, AmBisome®, Zydelig®, Emtriva®, Tybost®, Hepsera®, Vitekta®, Cayston®, and Tamiflu®. We have U.S. and
international commercial sales operations, with marketing subsidiaries in North and South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. We also sell
and distribute certain products through our corporate partners under royalty-paying collaborative agreements.

We were incorporated in Delaware on June 22, 1987. Our principal executive offices are located at 333 Lakeside Drive, Foster City,
California 94404. The telephone number of our principal executive offices is (650) 574-3000.
* * *
The HIV Market
We estimate that approximately 77% of all new patients starting HIV therapy in the United States begin treatment regimen with one of
our products. Among these products, we have three single tablet regimens: Atripla, Complera/Eviplera and Stribild. Studies have indicated
approximately a 20% lower risk of hospitalization in patients treated with a single tablet regimen versus those treated with two- or three-drug
regimens. We launched Atripla, our first single tablet regimen, in 2006. In 2011, we launched Complera/Eviplera, our second single tablet
regimen, which has also been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the European Medicines Agency
("EMA") to be used by certain adult patients switching from another stable antiretroviral regimen. We received approval from the FDA and
EMA for Stribild, our third single tablet regimen, in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Both Stribild and Complera/Eviplera are now available in
the United States and over twenty countries in Europe, including the five largest countries: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and
Spain. We estimate that, since the launch of Complera and Stribild, approximately 53% and 52%, respectively, of the patients in the United
States taking each product were switching from another HIV treatment regimen and that 47% and 48%, respectively, of each such patient
population was new to HIV treatment. Based on data from 2015 reports, Stribild and Complera/Eviplera are the

S-1
Table of Contents
most and second-most prescribed treatment regimen, respectively, for patients new to HIV treatment in the United States, and the second-
most and most prescribed treatment regimen, respectively, for patients new to HIV treatment in the five largest countries in Europe.
The HCV Market
A 2014 study estimates that approximately 185 million individuals worldwide are infected with HCV. We estimate that approximately
7.7 million of these individuals are in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and Japan and approximately
12.1 million individuals are in the rest of Europe and Latin America, with the majority of those in each region being genotype 1-infected HCV
patients. We also estimate that approximately 70.8 million individuals in Asia (excluding Japan) are infected with HCV.
We have two products for the treatment of HCV: Sovaldi, indicated for the treatment of patients with HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4
infection (in the United States and European Union) and genotypes 5 and 6 infection (in the European Union), including those with
hepatocellular carcinoma meeting Milan criteria (awaiting liver transplantation) and those with HCV/HIV-1 co-infection, and Harvoni, the
first once-daily single tablet regimen for the treatment of HCV genotype 1 infection in adults (in the United States and European Union) and
genotypes 3 (certain subgroups) and 4 (in the European Union). We launched Sovaldi in the United States upon FDA approval in December
2013 and in the European Union upon EMA approval in January 2014. We launched Harvoni in the United States upon FDA approval in
October 2014 and in the European Union upon EMA approval in November 2014. As of June 30, 2015, we estimate that approximately
470,000 HCV patients have been treated with Sovaldi and Harvoni (consisting of approximately 274,000 patients in the United States, 87,000
patients in Europe and 109,000 patients in the rest of the world). We believe HCV prevalence and currently low diagnosis rate represent an
opportunity for growth in HCV treatment.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding whether to purchase the
notes. In addition, you should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed under "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and in other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by
reference into this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties described below or in the documents incorporated by reference herein are
not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware, or that we currently deem immaterial,
also may become material factors that affect us. If any of the following risks or those incorporated by reference herein occurs or intensifies, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the notes
could decline significantly, and you may lose some or all of your investment. In connection with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus
supplement, you should also carefully review the cautionary statements under "Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks Related to this Offering and the Notes
The notes are obligations exclusively of the Company and not of its subsidiaries, and payment to holders of the notes will be structurally
subordinated to the claims of our subsidiaries' creditors.
The notes are obligations exclusively of Gilead Sciences, Inc., and are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries. As a result, our debt is
"structurally subordinated" to all existing and future debt, trade creditors, and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. Our rights, and hence the rights of
our creditors, to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise would be subject to the
prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that our claims as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized. The indenture
governing the notes does not restrict our or our subsidiaries' ability to incur unsecured indebtedness, to pay dividends or make distributions on, or
redeem or repurchase our equity securities, or to engage in highly leveraged transactions that would increase the level of our indebtedness. As of
June 30, 2015, our subsidiaries had approximately $2.9 billion of outstanding indebtedness and other obligations (excluding intercompany
liabilities), which consists primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The notes will be effectively junior to secured indebtedness that we may issue in the future.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/882095/000119312515318595/d46451d424b5.htm[9/11/2015 5:23:04 PM]

424B5
The notes are unsecured. As of the date hereof, we had no secured debt outstanding. Holders of our secured debt that we may issue in the
future may foreclose on the assets securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed property available for payment of unsecured
debt, including the notes. Holders of our secured debt also would have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation
or similar proceeding. As a result, the notes will be effectively junior to any secured debt that we may issue in the future.
Redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.
Each series of notes is redeemable at our option, and therefore we may choose to redeem the notes at times when prevailing interest rates are
relatively low. As a result, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds you receive from the redemption in a comparable security at an effective
interest rate as high as the interest rate on your notes being redeemed.
We may not be able to repurchase all of the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
As described under "Description of the Notes--Change of Control," we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control Triggering Event. We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes in cash at that time or have the ability to
arrange financing on acceptable terms.

Table of Contents
An increase in interest rates could result in a decrease in the relative value of the notes.
In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over
market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase the notes and market interest rates increase, the market values of your notes may
decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.
There are limited covenants in the indenture governing the notes and the terms of the notes do not prohibit us from taking other action
that could negatively impact holders of the notes.
We are not restricted under the terms of the notes or the indenture governing the notes from incurring additional indebtedness or issuing
preferred equity. The terms of the indenture limit our ability to create, grant or incur liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. However,
these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. See "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants." In addition, the notes do not require us to
achieve or maintain any minimum financial results relating to our financial position or results of operations. Our ability to recapitalize, incur
additional debt, secure existing or future debt or take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture and the notes,
including repurchasing indebtedness or capital stock or paying dividends, could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the
notes when due.
Our financial performance and other factors could adversely impact our ability to make payments on the notes.
Our ability to make scheduled payments with respect to our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on our financial and operating
performance, which, in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control.
There are no public markets for the notes.
The notes are new issues of securities for which there currently are no trading markets. As a result, we can give no assurances that any
markets will develop for the notes or that you will be able to sell the notes. If any of the notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade
at a discount from their initial offering prices. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the
market for similar securities, general economic conditions, our financial condition and performance, as well as other factors. Accordingly, you may
be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the notes for an indefinite period of time. We do not intend to apply for listing or
quotation of the notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system, respectively.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in
our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the notes. These credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of risks relating to
structure or marketing of the notes. Agency ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security and may be revised or withdrawn at
any time by the issuing organization. An agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
Increased leverage may harm our financial condition and results of operations.
As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $12.3 billion of total debt on a consolidated basis (or approximately $22.3 billion of total debt on
a consolidated basis after giving effect to this offering). We and our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in the future and, subject to
