ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On December 21, 2001, Gilead Sciences, Inc ("Gilead", the "Company" or "we") completed the sale of its oncology assets, pipeline of clinical stage oncology products and related intellectual property, as well as Gilead's Boulder, Colorado operations, including clinical research and drug development personnel, infrastructure and facilities, to OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("OSI"). The pipeline of clinical candidates includes NX211 (liposomal lurtotecan), GS7836 (a nucleoside analogue) and GS7904L (a liposomal thymidylate synthase inhibitor). As consideration, Gilead received $130.0 million in cash and 924,984 shares of OSI common stock valued at approximately $38.8 million as of December 21, 2001. The number of shares issued to Gilead was determined by dividing $40.0 million by the average closing sale price of OSI common stock for the 5 days preceding December 21, 2001. OSI is also required to pay to Gilead up to an additional $30.0 million in either cash or a combination of cash and OSI common stock if certain milestones related to the development of NX211 are achieved by OSI. Based upon the December 21, 2001 estimated carrying value of the oncology assets sold, liabilities assumed and estimated costs and expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction, the Company anticipates that it will record a transaction gain of approximately $155.4 million (net of $2.0 million alternative minimum tax) in the fourth quarter of 2001. The anticipated gain is subject to adjustment (if any) based on the final determination of the net asset value of the assets sold and the liabilities assumed at December 21, 2001, as well as the associated transaction costs. The carrying value of the transferred assets relates primarily to certain property and equipment. OSI Pharmaceuticals assumed all of Gilead's oncology related clinical and preclinical obligations, as well as various lease obligations.


ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

    (b) Pro forma financial information. On December 21, 2001, Gilead completed the sale of its oncology assets, pipeline of clinical stage oncology products and related intellectual property, as well as Gilead's Boulder, Colorado operations, including clinical research and drug development personnel, infrastructure and facilities, to OSI. The pipeline of clinical candidates includes NX211 (liposomal lurtotecan), GS7836 (a nucleoside analogue) and GS7904L (a liposomal thymidylate synthase inhibitor). As consideration, Gilead received $130.0 million in cash and 924,984 shares of OSI common stock valued at approximately $38.8 million as of December 21, 2001. The number of shares issued to Gilead was determined by dividing $40.0 million by the average closing sale price of OSI common stock for the 5 days preceding December 21, 2001. OSI is also required to pay to Gilead up to an additional $30.0 million in either cash or a combination of cash and OSI common stock if certain milestones related to the development of NX211 are achieved by OSI. Based upon the December 21, 2001 estimated carrying value of the oncology assets sold, liabilities assumed and estimated costs and expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction, the Company anticipates that it will record a transaction gain of approximately $155.4 million (net of $2.0 million alternative minimum tax) in the fourth quarter of 2001. The anticipated gain is subject to adjustment (if any) based on the final determination of the net asset value of the assets sold and the liabilities assumed at December 21, 2001, as well as the associated transaction costs. The carrying value of the transferred assets relates primarily to certain property and equipment. OSI Pharmaceuticals assumed all of Gilead's oncology related clinical and preclinical obligations, as well as various lease obligations.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001 is presented as if the transaction had occurred as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are presented as if the transaction had occurred January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, respectively.

    The pro forma adjustments represent, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the Company's pro forma results of operations and financial position in accordance with

2


Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X and are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable under the circumstances.

    The oncology activities were not a reportable segment of Gilead. The pro forma statements of operations to be disposed include only the direct expenses related to oncology activities. While Gilead maintained separate accounts to capture these direct research and development and direct general and administrative costs of the oncology activities, we did not allocate corporate services, information services, selling, other marketing, or general and administrative expenses to the oncology activities. The expenses disclosed as those related to the oncology activities are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred had the oncology activities operated on a stand-alone basis.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Gilead's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2001 and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The pro forma information may not necessarily be indicative of what the Company's results of operations or financial position would have been had the transaction been in effect as of and for the periods presented, nor is such information necessarily indicative of the Company's results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

    Basis of Presentation

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present financial information for the Company giving effect to the sale of the Company's oncology assets, pipeline of clinical stage oncology products and related intellectual property, as well as Gilead's Boulder, Colorado operations, including clinical research and drug development personnel, infrastructure and facilities, to OSI, which was effective as of December 21, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001 is presented as if the transaction occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2000 are presented as if the transaction had occurred January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2000, respectively.

    Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Adjustments

A)
Reflects the sale to OSI of our oncology activities for total cash proceeds of $130.0 million and 924,984 shares of OSI common stock, valued at approximately $38.8 million as of December 21, 2001. The adjustments do not include $30 million in either cash or a combination of cash and OSI common stock which may become payable to Gilead upon the achievement of certain milestones by OSI. We will recognize this $30 million only if the milestones that relate to the development of NX211 are achieved.

B)
The pro forma adjustments to accrued compensation and additional paid-in capital reflect estimated employee termination costs.

C)
The other accrued liabilities pro forma adjustment reflects the estimated liability for costs and expenses related to this transaction and the estimated alternative minimum tax impact of $2.0 million.

D)
Included in pro forma accumulated deficit at September 30, 2001 is the resulting estimated $155.4 million gain (net of $2.0 million alternative minimum tax) to be recognized on the sale as if the sale occurred on September 30, 2001. This gain is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, but is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations included herein since it is a nonrecurring gain directly attributable to the transaction. The gain is expected to be reflected in Gilead's statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.
