Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and the risk factors and assumptions related to
our business identified or described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus before acquiring any of the notes. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following could materially adversely affect your investment in the notes or our business and operating results.
Risks Relating to the Notes
The notes are structurally subordinated. This may affect your ability to receive payments on the notes.
The notes are obligations exclusively of Amgen. We currently conduct a significant portion of our operations through our
subsidiaries and our subsidiaries have significant liabilities. In addition, we may, and in some cases we have plans to, conduct
additional operations through our subsidiaries in the future and, accordingly, our subsidiaries' liabilities will increase. Our cash flow
and our ability to service our debt, including the notes, therefore partially depends upon the earnings of our subsidiaries, and we
depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by those subsidiaries to us.
Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes
or, subject to existing or future contractual obligations between us and our subsidiaries, to provide us with funds for our payment
obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans
or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and taxes on distributions. Payments to
us by our subsidiaries will also be contingent upon our subsidiaries' earnings and business considerations.
Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon liquidation or reorganization, and, as a result, the right of the
holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors,
including trade creditors and preferred stockholders, if any. The notes do not restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional
liabilities. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any
security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries senior to indebtedness held by us.
Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.
The notes are new issues of securities for which there are currently no public markets, and no active trading markets might ever
develop. If the notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices, depending on
prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our performance and other factors. To the extent that active trading markets
do not develop, the liquidity and trading prices for the notes may be harmed.
We have no plans to list the notes on a securities exchange. We have been advised by underwriters that they presently intend to
make a market in the notes of each series. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so. Any market-making activity, if
initiated, may be discontinued at any time, for any reason or for no reason, without notice. If the underwriters cease to act as the
market makers for the notes, we cannot assure you another firm or person will make markets in the notes.
The liquidity of any markets for the notes will depend upon the number of holders of the notes, our results of operations and
financial condition, the markets for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making markets in the notes and other
factors. Active or liquid trading markets for the notes may not develop.
