Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )In connection with the merger, all outstanding Celgene Corporation(Celgene) performance share unit awards were assumed by BMS and converted into (A) a restricted unit award that settled in a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of Celgene common stock underlying such equity award immediately prior to the merger (with such number of shares determined by deeming the applicable performance goals to be achieved at the greater of the target level and the actual level of achievement through the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the Merger occurs, as determined by the Management Compensation and Development Committee of the board of directors of Celgene prior to the Merger Effective Time),multiplied by (2) the methodology and exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement,and (B) the right to receive, immediately upon,and subject to, the vesting of such equity award, one CVR per share underlying each such equity award. ( 2 )Due to an administrative delay in calculations surrounding the total Merger Consideration (defined below) received by the Reporting Person, this Form 4 is being amended to report the correct number of securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as well as the correct expiration date for a few of the awards. ( 3 )Pursuant to the Merger, each outstanding share of Celgene common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive (x) $50 in cash, without interest, (y) one share of BMS common stock, par value $0.10 per share and (z) one tradeable contingent value right ( "CVR") per share or, with respect to equity awards (in some cases), per share underlying each such equity award ("Merger Consideration"). Each CVR will represent the right to receive $9.00 in cash upon Federal Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of a specified set of milestones, as set forth in the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2019, between BMS and Equiniti Trust Company, as trustee. ( 4 )Each restricted stock unit converts into one share of common stock upon vesting. ( 5 )The restricted stock unit vests in full on December 31, 2019, which is the end of the original performance period associated with the original Performance Share Unit award. ( 6 )The restricted stock unit vests in full on December 31, 2020, which is the end of the original performance period associated with the original Performance Share Unit award. ( 7 )The restricted stock unit vests in full on December 31, 2021, which is the end of the original performance period associated with the original Performance Share Unit award.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
