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 infection ("HCV") and chronic hepatitis B virus infection,
cardiovascular, hematology/oncology and inflammation/respiratory. 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.

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 have five single tablet regimens for the treatment of HIV: Atripla, Complera/Eviplera, Stribild, Genvoya and Odefsey. In
November 2015, Genvoya became the first tenofovir alafenamide-based single tablet regimen approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA").
Studies have indicated lower risk of hospitalization in patients treated with a single tablet regimen versus those treated with
two- or three-drug regimens. Based on data as of the first quarter of 2016, Genvoya and Stribild are the second- and third-most
prescribed treatment regimens for patients new to HIV treatment in the United States, while Atripla and Stribild are the most and
second-most prescribed treatment regimens for all HIV patients in the United States; similarly, Stribild and Complera/Eviplera are
the most- and third-most prescribed treatment regimens for patients new to HIV treatment in the five largest countries in Europe,
while Atripla and Complera/Eviplera are the most- and second-most prescribed treatment regimens for all HIV patients in those
countries.

The HCV Market
We have three 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, 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) infection, and Epclusa, the
first all-oral, pan-genotypic, single tablet regimen for the treatment of adults with HCV genotypes 1-6 infection. We launched
Sovaldi in the United States upon FDA approval in December 2013 and in the European Union upon European Commission
approval in January 2014. We launched Harvoni in the United States upon FDA approval in October 2014 and in the European
Union upon European Commission approval in November 2014. We launched Epclusa in the United States upon FDA approval in
June 2016 and in the European Union upon European Commission approval in July 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we estimate that
approximately 1,000,000 HCV patients have been treated with our HCV products (consisting of approximately 486,000 patients in
the United States, 206,000 patients in Europe, 100,000 patients in Japan and 267,000 patients in the rest of the world). We believe
that the HCV prevalence and the currently low diagnosis rate represent an opportunity for growth in HCV treatment. For instance,
we estimate that there are three million HCV-infected individuals in the United States, and that only roughly half of these
individuals have been diagnosed.
