PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING IN THIS COURT.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, that Class Representative AMF Tjänstepension AB, on behalf of itself and the Court-certified Class, has reached a proposed settlement of the above-captioned securities class action (the "Action") for $239,000,000 in cash (the "Settlement"). If approved, the Settlement will resolve all claims in the Action.
The Action involves allegations that Celgene and two of its former officers, Terrie Curran and Philippe Martin (collectively, "Defendants") violated the federal securities laws. Class Representative alleges that Defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions during the Class Period regarding certain Celgene products and product candidates, including the pharmaceutical drugs and drug candidates known as GED-0301, Otezla, and Ozanimod, in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants deny all allegations in the Action and deny any violations of the federal securities laws.[2]
A hearing (the "Settlement Hearing") will be held on May 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., before the Honorable Michael E. Farbiarz of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, either in person at Courtroom 4 of the Frank Lautenberg Post Office & U.S. Courthouse, 2 Federal Square, Newark, NJ 07102, or by telephone or videoconference, to determine: (i) whether the proposed Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) whether the Action should be dismissed with prejudice against Defendants, and the Releases specified and described in the Stipulation (and in the Settlement Notice) should be granted; (iii) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation should be approved as fair and reasonable; and (iv) whether Class Counsel's motion for attorneys' fees in an amount not to exceed 22.2% of the Settlement Fund and payment of expenses in an amount not to exceed $5.75 million (which amount may include a request for reimbursement of the reasonable costs incurred by Class Representative directly related to its representation of the Class) should be approved. Any updates regarding the Settlement Hearing, including any changes to the date or time of the hearing or updates regarding in-person or remote appearances at the hearing, will be posted to the case website, www.CelgeneSecuritiesLitigation.com.
If you are a member of the Class, your rights will be affected by the pending Action and the Settlement, and you may be entitled to share in the Settlement Fund.
